 Hey, it's Bridget. Welcome to Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope. This is a live stream today. Talk topic is mental health. I'm going to give you a few minutes to figure out that I'm here live. I did promote this on my YouTube channel above life channel, but I've had some challenges with the technology in the background here. Trying to figure out YouTube stuff. It's a little bit tricky in the background here. So the original link that I put up, I'm actually starting a new live stream link. So I'm just going to take a moment here to do some admin stuff and give you guys who are waiting for me info so you can tell where I'm at here. Let's see. I gave you guys a few minutes to pop in before we start our chat. Make sure I'm on the live stream here so I can see you guys. I have been having so many challenges with YouTube lately and video stuff lately. I guess it's just par for the course. It's part of the learning journey. I'm on my laptop here. Okay, so this one, it still says upcoming. I'm gonna turn it off. Not sure. Okay, so let's see here. I'm accessing the link myself so I can watch in the chat. Hey, I'm gonna make a note. Okay. So, let's see. Maybe I should switch my view. See if I can share this link. I'm gonna share this quick. So everybody can find it. Let's jump over here. Thanks for your patience. I appreciate it. Link to live stream. I'm gonna head over to Facebook and let the folks on Facebook who support Above Life Channel give them the opportunity to be able to participate. Hang on guys. Gotta make sure that those of you who wanted to be part of this conversation about mental health here at Above Life Channel that you have the opportunity to do that. I want to really make sure that everyone feels the invitation and the inclusion here. So I'm going to Above Life Channel on Facebook. I actually have two Facebook pages Above Life Channel on Facebook and Bridget inspired on Facebook also. New link to live stream. I'll post it here. Yeah, do you like my shirt? Be kind. I ordered it online and I got it. Just got it in. I love it. It's part of my effort to keep myself inspired, to keep my spirit inspired. So I I need a reminder. So when I look in the mirror, I can be like, hey, Bridget, are you being kind to yourself or not so much? My youngest son-in-law said, mom, that's a hippie shirt. I'm like, really? Really? So if that's the case, I'm down with that. That's fine with me. Okay, new link to live stream on YouTube. I'm going to Bridget inspired. I'm sharing that. Okay, you guys. Let's get shaken. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. I need to edit this video and make sure that we have this on public. Okay. So I've been to both Facebook pages, posted a new link for this live stream, and I have made it public on YouTube. So we'll see in a bit. Whoops. Slipped my chair back here. We'll see in a bit how that unfolds for you guys. Get myself situated here for our conversation today. All right. And let's check this out on the YouTube universe so I can see everybody. Oh, wait, let's click on this link. There we go. Hey, that's a test of the mental health, isn't it? It's taken me a bit to get on live, but it's worth it. It's always worth it, right? Oh good. I see some people popping into the chat. I actually have my handy-dandy laptop here. So I'm just gonna, oops, sorry. Let's bump you guys. I am gonna say hello in the chat. Hello. I'm gonna give a big thank you for your patience of learning going on during these times. All right, so let's see. Hey, Mary. Hey, Melanie. Nice to see you guys. Aw, you're sweet. Thank you. All right, I'm gonna give you guys a chance to kind of pop in here. Actually, you know what? I wonder if I change my... Hang on. I'm gonna see if this works. Oh, orientation is locked. Just a minute. This is about mental health, right? You're not losing your minds, my friends. And if you lose them, don't come here to find them. Mmm. All right. So I started this in landscape, so I can't change... or a portrait, so I can't change it to landscape. So, oh my goodness. So many little things. So many little things, little quirks here. Okay. Do you like my shirt? Be kind. Yes, I ordered it online. I love it. Super bright. I need to do things like this so that when I'm in the bathroom washing my hands for the 50 millionth time during the day that I look in the mirror and I see, oh yeah, be kind. Be kind to myself. Self-kindness. Because that monkey mind can kind of start to go, hey, are you doing enough? Have you really done enough today? Should you eat that second part of that chocolate bar? Should you have that other cup of coffee? Maybe not. Thinking you've got enough caffeine in your bod. That's kind of the stuff that happens to me in my internal dialogue. And so stuff like this and also if you watch my Instagram, Bridget inspired on Instagram, you know that I have been wearing constantly wearing my wardrobe of Disney shirts. Because that's one thing that I know that inspires me, that gives me something to look forward to, like a vacation at some point in the future. And it gives me a feeling of joy. It makes me feel like imagination and business can work together very effectively. It gives me hope and it feels good to me. And so I've been doing that, just those little things to keep my mood in a higher altitude, okay? Because everybody is impacted by what is going on in the world at this time, whether you are directly, like really specifically directly impacted by health or concerns about your health or whether you are impacted by the economics or job situation or not being able to see family or you have a high school senior that doesn't get a graduation. I mean the list of disappointments goes on and on and on. Good news, you guys. We plan for this. You have done a good job of planning for disappointment. So this should not be new to you. Do you know what I mean by that? Do you know what I mean by that? When we constantly worry, when we allow ourselves to be taken over by just worry energy and this needless, anxious energy, we have sort of trained ourselves to wait for a disappointment. So once now we're having an abundance of disappointment. So once we're making this big list now, we're like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, do you really think that the worry was needed? Do you really think that the worry really and the anxiety and the energy inside of you that you've been practicing for years now? Do you really think that that it has prepared you for this time that is now? No, it has not. It hasn't. I mean at least that's how I feel. I feel gypped, man. Like I am ripped off here. I do not appreciate all of the training that I have done in regards to being a worry wart, in regards to understanding empathy, being an empath and cleansing my aura and my energy. And now all of a sudden, a itty bitty health thing, a little bitty germ in the body is causing this incredible amount of catastrophized chaos forcing all this change to occur. And yet my worry muscles are not up to the challenge. Don't you kind of feel like that just a little bit? Oh, you guys. This topic here at Above Life Channel, thanks for joining me for the livestream this week. I thought instead of doing a second video channeling session, I would share or instead of doing a second video with comments or that kind of a thing or responding to that, I thought let's check in. You and I, let's check in. You might not know this but or realize it maybe. Maybe you kind of know but you don't really realize that I do this work all the time feeling connected to you. Yeah, it might seem like in channeling that what I'm doing is connecting to the afterlife and the spirit and I am we're having a conversation and the thing is that you're not just eavesdropping like you're on the call. You're in the connection, you're in the energy when whether you're just listening to the channeling or you're watching, it doesn't matter how you're intaking it but you're part of it. Like I'm feeling how important the energy of the messages that are coming in from that afterlife celebrity, how important it is for you, for you as the viewer, you the one who whether you watch every week here at Above Life Channel every Monday at post-channeling sessions or whether you just happen to just stumble across it and find us here. When I say us, it's not just me, like yeah it's me, Bridget, I'm the psychic and medium and incredible empowerment coach that holds the space here on Above Life Channel but there are so many other collaborating energies that are coming through specifically yours. You like I feel you, your energy of your spirit. We have a connection that's why you're here. Whether the connection is because I just annoy you or bother you so much that you have to watch me because you you know maybe it gives you something or maybe you're watching because it feels meaningful to you and you want to plug in and get filled up with some hope energy. So regardless of why you're here, what's motivating you or inspiring you to be here, just thanks. Thank you. Thank you for doing that and I want you to know that I feel that. So all right. So I want to make sure I say hello in the chat. Oh thank you you guys. Very sweet comments. I appreciate it. Whether you're watching this live or after the live. I'm realizing how funny that I think that is. Yeah, the afterlife watching of this video after the live streaming. The after streaming. Just know that the energy and the messages and the information is alive. It is alive and evergreen for you because our spirits are always connected. We're always like ready to plug in and to receive. And so hopefully through our conversation today, specifically around the topic of mental health, you will start to understand that you have choice and power comes through choice about how you want to connect. And in fact, let me just see. Let's get this party started. Oh hi Dina, Lisa, Christy, Christy, Melanie, Mary. Hi you guys. Hi everybody. Why don't you do this? In the chat, will you just post where you're from? Where you're watching from? What state or city? That would be great. So I can give you a shout out. I also want to make sure that if we get any creepy McCreepersons in the chat that you guys have the power. You guys have the power in the chat to manage it. Along the side of the person's name and their comment, there are like three little dots. If you hover your mouse over that three little dots and when you click on that, you can actually block the user. Feel free to do that. But don't do it super quick. Give them a chance. We give, we believe, in second chances. Sometimes people just stumble into the live streams and they don't really know what's up at Above Life Channel. They don't know how we roll here. And you know what? We're inclusionary. We accept that. You can come as you are. If you're pissed off and angry and hate watching and if that is going to help you in some way, fine. I'm okay with that. Just be polite in the chat. Okay. All right. Did I say hi, Lisa? I think I did. Hi, Heidi. Hello, Heidi. Okay. Hello, Joy. Nice to see you. Hi, Sarah. Oh, nice to see you. Hello, Sean from New Jersey. Hello, Canada. Rochester, Minnesota. Oh, yeah. Not too far. About 50 minutes, 45 to 50 minutes for me. Nice to see you. Go ahead and pop. If you're just joining in, pop in the chat and share where you're from. Scotland. Oh, that is cool, Karen. Scotland. Oh, awesome. Arizona. Oh, send me some warmth, will you? You can send me the heat too. It hasn't been all that warm yet, although this week, I think it's supposed to get better here in Minnesota. I'm in Minnesota, which is a state in the United States. So for those of you who don't know, because I wouldn't know if you said the specific place you're from in Scotland. I'd be like, I don't know what that is. All right. Welcome, you guys. So our topic today, our talk topic is mental health, and it came up because of current events. Yeah. And we're all on this roller coaster. We're all in this amusement park of life together. And oh my gosh, I can't believe I said that. Did I really just say that? Oh, you guys, my husband and I, we have this thing about this tagline of we're all in this together. I can't stand it. I gotta be honest. I can't stand it. I can't stand it because we're not all in this together. We are not all in this together. We are here in this moment. You are here on this live stream. You are here in this moment watching the replay of this live stream. And in that way, you and I and this beautiful supportive community of spirit, we are in this together in this moment. However, we are not all in the exact same circumstance. We are not in the same situation. We don't live in the same house. We don't have the same job. We don't have the same boss, the same spouse, the same children. We don't have the same pets. We don't have the same view out our front door window. We do not have the same experiences coming into this place, the stage, this moment in time in our lives. We are all in different places. Some of us are in colleges, or we're in college. Now we're homeschooling at home, trying to graduate from college. Some of us are living with relatives because we already lost the lease on our apartment. Some of us are working our butts off, whether you're a healthcare worker or the person that is the one that's doing that's cooking at the local diner so that your boss can keep their 50 year family business. We are all in different places, stages, states of energy, of being, and of connection, but the truth is the pure 100% connector here is that we are in this moment. We are right now you and I together in the moment. We are here. We are present. We are now. When it comes to mental health, we've got to realize that everyone is in a different state of being, everyone, everyone, and multiple times of the day we're in different states of being, different states of mental health, emotional health, physical health. I mean, seriously, half you guys that are logging in now have already ate your bag of Doritos for the day, and it's probably too early in the morning to be eating those Doritos. And some of y'all are already cracking open the Bloody Mary mix and I know it. I'm not judging. I'm just calling it like it is because you know what? We are all in different frames of energy experience. Our circumstances, our situations are different. Our experiences are different. We are different. That's what's beautiful about this melting pot that we are in as a global community. Everything is unique and different to us. And because of that, a blanket statement about any one particular viewpoint of the situation globally does not apply. It just can't. So you know what though, during this mental health state that you and I are connecting in right now? We are 100% at choice. We're always at choice. Unfortunately, when it comes to mental health and it comes to being aware of how our mind is influencing our decisions and choices, when we have incredible stress responses and traumatic situations, incredible life altering experiences. Hello, News Flash. Everybody's in a life altering experience right now. Everybody is. Even if you haven't lost your job, even if you haven't gotten sick, even if your situation experience with this current events status is relatively from the outside looking in, not really changed that much. Your routine hasn't changed that much. You have changed and you are changing. And for many people, the post-traumatic stress, the anticipation of what the future holds, the disruption in sleep patterns, the random emotions that come up. Hey, welcome to being a woman in your 50s. Everybody has that. Just some people are a little more experienced at it than others. I'm saying me. I'm just saying and I'm not in my 50s. Let me just say that. Not that that's bad, but I'm not. I'm just saying now finally, even people who are relatively unaffected from the outside are really affected inside. They're so affected inside. And we are going to everybody. It's going to start to understand what the F anxiety is, what the heck a mood disorder is, behavior modification. Everybody's going to need that. I worked in early childhood special education in one of my lifetimes and behavior modification, making a plan, recognizing. We used to tell the kids and I used to tell, I have experience personally with special ed and working not just professionally, but personally also. And the thing that we would say, I would say when I have a kid that has sensory processing challenges is, Oh, pause your engine running. How is your engine running? And now you would, I recognize that that is kind of translatable into like counseling and mental health practices and therapy and things about regulating yourself, self-regulation, dealing with trauma, trauma informed care, all this stuff, right? It all works together. And now everybody is going to know in some way, everybody is going to learn about what mental health really means and how important it is. And that it's not a one-time thing, a push a button. Here's the perfect formula, a recipe for success that lasts consistently all the time. No, it's like anything that you do that is worth doing, it's worth the commitment to, it's worth the attention to. And what do we do? We usually turn our attention away when there's stress or problems, we divert. Divert your eyes. Don't look at the stress. Don't look at it. Oh my God. Don't look at it. Don't look at it. Ignore it. And if that doesn't work, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom. Can I have this? Can I have this? Can I have this? Can I have this? Can I have this? Can anybody relate to that? It's the same kind of thing that happens with stress. It does that it eats at you. It just eats. And then it becomes toxic. And then you have to do something. You have to have a reaction to it. So all of a sudden, randomly, you have this emotional burst surge of energy, which like I said, some women in their 50s, 60s, that kind of thing. I kind of know what that means, right? I've already been through that kind of war inside. And now everybody's experiencing that random emotional changes, random mood changes. Well, guess what, you guys? That's not just being an empath. That's not just being a sensitive person. That's not just an emotional thing. Like, oh, I gotta take care of my emotions and stuff on stuff on. That's not just that. It's a mental health thing. It's your brain. It's your brain having no effing clue how to respond to stress, how to keep yourself in a state where you are calm, that you feel connected, that you feel comfortable, because everything is in discomfort state right now. And so people who are really comfortable with change are kind of like, yeah, let's go on this ride again. People who are used to the moods going up and down, people who have actually experienced some mental health stuff in the past are actually way more well equipped to handle this time that we're in right now of change than everybody else is. So that is a good thing. So then what happens, like we resist then, right? We try to resist the stress. So we push it down, push it down, push it down, push it down. But we all know that doesn't work because what happens, we do things like explode, get freaking angry and go off on the lady at the line at the checkout for no apparent reason. Or we blow up at our spouse or our kid for something seemingly insignificant because we've stuffed our stress and it's been building up. It's like bubbling, you know, or maybe you internalize so well good for you that you have chronic illness. I mean, really, you internalize so much that stress that that stress is energy and has to go somewhere. So the body tries to absorb it someplace. Fibromyalgia, anyone, anyone. So then what? So if we ignore it or we resist it, then what are our choices? What are your choices? What do you do? What do you do when you have mental health stuff going on? What do you do when you feel crazy? Like you have multiple personalities and you actually don't. What do you do? You lean into choice. You recognize that this is an energy thing. Work with it in an energy state because then you can be creative, you can be flexible, you can be fluid. Use every circumstance or situation that's coming at you right now, every feeling or emotion that's coming up, every thought that comes through, those old patterns are going to be rearing their ugly, ugly heads because that's how you lived in a survival state when you are so stressed out. Survival mode kicks in. The fight or flight stuff kicks in. For some people it's like they freeze, they can't function, they're paralyzed. Does that sound familiar when you're trying to make a choice right now? My husband says the other yesterday is like, okay, so I'm going to go, we're going to, we are trying to support the local food places. Plus I am getting tired of making dinner every freaking night for everybody all the time. Let's be honest, let's be honest, let's be honest. And so he's going into town to get some food and ordering some food, curbside pickup and all that. And he's like, well, what do you want? I'm like, oh, I don't know. I don't know what I want. It's like this huge decision, like, oh my God, I cannot decide. Oh, do I want this? Do I want that? Do I really want to eat that? It's like this whole, like, I need to call in a legal counsel to give me advice about what I should eat and how much. And if I get this, then I can't have that. And the whole decision making process has so become so inflamed. So see, that's an example. Do you see? It's an example. You're not crazy if you're having memory issues right now. If you're, well, maybe you are a little crazy, but in a good way. You're not alone. If you're having memory issues, if you're having mood swings, if you're having trouble sleeping, it's normal. Collectively we're experiencing a traumatic time and it's traumatic. It is because it's a big time of change and you haven't chosen it. You haven't made the choice. So choice is a power, but sometimes it can feel really overwhelming. So there's freedom that comes in choice. So what I'm going to suggest to you is to feel all of these circumstances, situations as energy and consider it a flow. And as though you are like an artist sculpting that flow, that you have choice in that. You have power in that choice. Okay. So I'm going to share with you. How do I say this? Okay. So this is one of my go-to tools. I didn't intend to do a live stream to talk about mental health and to lecture you or tell you what to do because that annoys me. When people try to tell me what to do, you know what I do? I'm like my 16 year old self-kicks and it says, oh yeah, I can do it anyway. Like that's me. Like I do that. That's Bridget. Now I know that doesn't surprise you, especially if you watch my YouTube channel, Fairy Grasshopper, that attitude that I have that will not surprise you. Above life channel, I have a little more manners because I have guests and I have to have, I have company. So I'm very much more polite and contained, but I'm Fairy Grasshopper channel. I'm going to tell you what it is. So, but I do want to share a couple of things like, like I showed you my awesome shirt that is inspiring me. That's not going to cure my mental health issues, but it's going to help. Every little thing that we choose that I make a choice on is going to help me. Okay. It's going to help me. This is one of my journals. I have lots and lots of journals. You've probably seen me show them if you've been with me on Fairy Grasshopper channel, but this is one of my favorites. It's almost done. I'm almost to the end of this one. See. But it says, wake up and be awesome. And every morning what I do is I pull a card for myself. Again, if you watch Fairy Grasshopper channel, you know, I use card decks, lots of different card decks like this. And I pull a card and I read it. And I look at the image and the color of it and then I write about it. And literally before I get out of bed, I try to do that. I have, this is my, like right beside my bed, wake up and be awesome so that I can, so that the thoughts that are in my mind at the beginning of the morning are thoughts that I am choosing. Now I'm not trying to control my thoughts and be all in control, even though control during times of great change is something that we really desire because that sense of normalcy, that sense of having the power is in making little tiny choices, controlling your thoughts or make sure you're always thinking positive thoughts. It's completely unrealistic and I'm not suggesting that. I'm just sharing with you some little things that I do to try to help. Notice I say it doesn't fix it. You can't just fix it and make it go away. It takes commitment, persistence and awareness. And I actually care about how I feel and about what's going on in my mind. So I'm paying attention to that. And, and incidentally, okay, so I do that. I write in here just for a little bit, just a couple of things. And incidentally, when I wake up in the morning a lot of times, like some days it's fine. I feel fine. And some days I wake up and I am, I am feeling so much anxiety. Like I feel, I wake up with worry already on my heart and I'm thinking about something that I have absolutely, it might be something from the past, like a stressful situation that I had with one of my kids on in high school when they were in high school or in dealing with a team issue with another parent or dealing with, it could be any number of things. It could be that time that we owned two houses back in 2008 for four years and then ended up almost going into bankruptcy. Yeah, that time. Yeah, that kind of, that kind of stuff right now kind of shows up. That's true. That kind of stuff shows up. And it just, and it seems like random things, you know. And so sometimes I will wake up and I feel already anxious in my heart. And I feel, I feel the weight of all of the things. And I might not even know exactly what that means or what it's supposed, like the individual things aren't really telling me anything. They're just a, the feeling itself is telling me something. Waking up and not feeling content and open and like a clean slate. Like you might hear a lot of spiritual teachers and things and personal help, personal development folks will say, you know, when you go to bed, you know, do the meditations, do, you know, all positive informations, all that, then you'll wake up in the morning with a clean slate or a fresh start. And that doesn't always happen. Like that doesn't even always happen for me. And I like make an effort. And so in the morning, I'll wake up and I'll feel, I'll feel something that's not comfortable. It's a, and what it is, you guys, it's like this state of recognition of unsettledness, like that the energy is not calm. Like when I wake up, it's not calm. Like everything doesn't just go back to normal. It's a reset. Everything's fine. There's kind of this new state of kind of just a little bit of a movement, which makes it difficult to actually let go release and be totally at peace. So what I've come to realize is that this kind of state when I wake up like this is that I do something with it. I do something with it. And the physical act of making a choice to just choose a card to grab my journal and write about that for a little bit, look at, I activate my other senses. Okay. I activate my other senses. So I'm very visual. As you know, I'm very clairvoyant and I'm also very visual in human life. So I will look at the imagery on that card and I will really dig into it and I will see what is showing up for me, what is standing out for me in this. I take myself out of a state of unsettledness or kind of vigilance, a little bit of vigilance there perhaps. And I use that energy to focus on something totally different. So I simple, I use the card, I look at the imagery. If it has like words, because I have one beautiful card deck that has a whole passage of it's almost like a beautiful meditation to start your day or a prayer to start your day. I will read that or I'll go into that. Sometimes I can't wake up and like, it's not really a form of distraction. I'm not trying to distract, take myself away from what I'm feeling here. I'm trying to choose to shift into my mind in a way and activate my other senses in a way that it's going to support me as a whole being. I'm not just going to go through the rest of my day reacting to how my energy is just hypervigilant or unsettled. I'm going to take some power here and make a choice to use this and focus it onto something else that is going to support me, put me in a positive mindset. I'm going to use my brain in a way that's going to be helpful and healing to me and healthy for me. I'm going to start the day using my brain in a healthy way. Imagine that mental health, using the brain in a healthy way. Imagine that. It's not just about being intellectual. It's not just about having a great memory. It's not about that. It's about using the brain in a healthy way, whatever that looks like for you. Just even looking at this journal says, wake up and be awesome. It just makes me feel good. Some days I'm like, okay, I want to use a couple of other words that can go with an F and a U sometimes when I see this because this is too much. It's like raised up. Still, I pull a card and that has helped me to refocus, to zoom in my energy and use it in a positive way. Then I do write, writing the actual act. Let me see if I can find, do I have a fancy, one of my fancy pens? Of course I don't because I wanted to show it to you. Nope, I don't. I have really cool gel pens that are multiple different colors and stuff that I like. So I will choose the color, another choice I'm making. I'm making a choice and it's a quick choice just by what feels good, not what feels unsettled or bad, what feels good to me. I pick a pen color and then I write. I'll just write. And the physical contact of the writing, it does not matter what I say. Nobody's going to grade me on this. The physical contact of writing is an activity that takes this energy and calms it down. It gives it a place to flow. This works for me. Sometimes meditation does not work for me. But you know what I do? I will sit in my bed and I will listen to a meditation. My mind isn't like floating away to the beautiful solace of what they're describing, but I am there and I am showing up and I am letting my energy flow and I am doing my best to allow myself to be an awareness of my energy from a place of choice. And so usually when I'm in that kind of a state, recently I found that meditations that have mantras or repetitive words like, you know, so hum or I am or a word or a phrase that you repeat over and over again. I have found that those really help because, you know, why that? Why might that be? Because mental health, mentally, I'm using my brain to engage in a healthy way to support my energy. I'm being proactive with my brain and including it so that later on in the day, when it starts to do itself doubt thing, or it starts to tell me what I should be doing because I'm not, or it starts to scold me for eating those Cheetos of my sons. Instead of just throwing those suckers away. And I just, I'm Then I can reconnect in a way that's more gentle with my brain. And I have a positive relationship with my brain. So instead of just ignoring that, I go, Oh, come on. Oh, please. One choice. It was one choice. Big deal. I can forgive myself and move on and reconnect in a more positive, healthy way. All right. I also find I'm going to give you another little tip. And just because this stuff works for me doesn't mean it's going to work for you. It's not going to cure your mental health woes. But hopefully it can give you kind of a variety or some kind of tools that can help you at least try for yourself. Okay. Is tapping tapping. Have you ever heard of tapping? It's like an active form for me. I would describe it as an active form of meditation. There's a lot of resources about tapping. The tapping solution.com is a great place to go on YouTube here. The tapping solution has a lot of videos that can help you understand what tapping is. It's so easy. You're going to feel silly doing it. You're totally going to feel silly at first. But if you want the benefits of meditation, I think tapping is the best active meditation and it also uses the mind because it uses words and words have power. And when you're connecting and engaging with your brain and getting it on board on this health train and connected with your energy, that's, I mean, that's a win-win for all of us. Okay. I just want to make sure I made a couple of notes. I want to make sure that I talked about all the things that I wanted to connect with you about. Choice, choice, choice. Oh, I want to talk to you about feelings. Okay. I want to talk to you about feelings. I feel like I need to say this. I feel like I need to say this. Most of you are empathic anyway and Claricentia, which means you're sensitive and you feel energy all the time. Anyway, under normal circumstances, you feel energy and already probably like an introvert, you know? And it might be a protection mechanism, you know, giving yourself some energetic space. I want to talk about feelings. Feelings are not intended to result in action. When you feel something like when I wake up and I kind of feel that, it's not, it's not telling me to act. It's not about action, feeling or emotion. It's just information. It's info. That's, that's all it is. It's not a command. It's not a directive. It's not a poke the bear kind of a thing. Like you have to do something. You have to jump. How high? Jump, how high? No, it's not an action. Feelings are not actions. They're not. You don't have to make that connection. Feelings are information. Feelings are intel. That's it. And then, guess what? You don't have to judge them then. Feelings are not good or bad. They just are. They exist. They're energy. When they're energy, then you don't have to say this is good or bad. It's just, it just is. It's here. It's information. And if you have strong feelings or emotions, you can ask if there's a message in that for you. What is the message here? It might go back to a trigger that you have. It might go back to an old pattern or old cycle. You don't have to dig in deep or cycle analyze yourself. Just recognize that the emotion is not existing to cause you harm. It's giving you information. And then you're processing that information, the way that you choose to process that information. If you're in a state of awareness, it can really help you. It can give you more power, more choice right now. We are feeling like very uncertain about the future. And well, wait, how do I say that? I shouldn't say that. That's kind of a blanket statement. That like isn't a base assumption. That's not necessarily true. Let me clarify. All the time, people want to know about their future. That's what like psychic work is at the core. That's what people usually want is tell me the answers. Tell me what's going to happen. Tell me the ending of the story. I'm like, you don't really want to know that. You think you want to know that because it will make you feel safe, but it's not true. You came here for the experiences, for the journey, not for the end result. The end result is you die. Your body decays. You leave your body and then you start all over again if you choose to do that. Really? Like, I hope I didn't wreck the ending for anybody. Emotions are not your enemy. They are not directives. They are not coming and telling you what to do. They are not action. They give you info, information. That's it. Data. It's data. And what you do with that is your choice. All right. So I want to say hello to you guys. And by the way, I should also say that this week I did channel Phil Hartman and in my channeling with him, he had such a strong, strong message about mental health that really surprised me. Like, I had no idea. I didn't even know. I didn't know why I was channeling him and I say that in the video. So you should watch that one if you haven't yet, the Phil Hartman channeling. And it was because of this very concept and this topic. And it's not about, I didn't want to come on here and be like, talk about the stigmas or talk about the different types of, you know, depression and all that. We have dealt with all that in many different ways in my family and I personally have. So I didn't want to come on and like lecture you or anything. That's not what this is about. It's about choice. And I didn't want to come on here and just be all positive. Everybody just ignore all the bad because that's not real. That's not real life. We've got to have balance. Everything is a balance. And the desire to know what's going to happen is is natural, I think, because I didn't like, I don't like the unknown either. And I'm a psychic. So like, I see stuff, but I don't always know the timeline of things. Like, I can get a sense of something for myself, but it could be four years away as far as manifesting goes. It's not going to happen tomorrow. And some of that stuff, even knowing you guys can be unsettling. Because then what do you do about it? I really do believe that we create our own lives, like we create our lives and have, we have our own choices that we can make. And sometimes, yeah, crappy stuff happens to us. And sometimes it isn't fair. It's not. Because some people get a job and some people don't have a job. Some people had the chance for college. Some people didn't have the chance for college. Some people have, are born with health, health issues. And, you know, I mean, there's a lot of stuff that we can complain about and that we can blame our circumstances or situations or other people about. But the truth is, is it all boils down to the fact that we have choice. And when we get in those really dark states, and I've had days of those where I just, I don't feel like channeling. I don't feel like talking to anybody. I've had that during this time myself too. It has been a roller coaster at times and I've been very forthright and I've said that, shared that on my vlog and I've done a video, shared a video with you about channeling, how channeling is hard sometimes for me because of that, because of my own stuff, you know. So nobody's immune. Just people don't always talk about it. And yeah, it seems like there's a lot of stigma around mental health. But you guys, I don't think that's going to happen in the future moving ahead. Because anybody that really wants to be here and is committed to being a person right now during this time here on earth and clearly you are because you're watching the video, there is definitely this. Oh, geez. Okay. This is, I will, this is not a channeling video, but I am going to acknowledge that you guys know, probably if you watched me on fairy grasshopper channel, but I connect a lot with archangels. I work with angels a lot. They're non-denominational, very diverse from all walks of the world, cultures, religions, all that. And Archangel Michael is present. So I'm just going to honor that and feel his energy of protection to help you feel safe and secure to know that we're just going to have to embrace the unknown and allow the mystery of things to reframe that unknown and uncertainty into recognizing that that means you have a lot of opportunities. There are going to be opportunities and unforeseen opportunities that show up here. Just like it feels like there's all these bad things. There's also all these good things that's equally to the bad. There's double the good stuff. There's way more good because if it was all just the same good and bad, you wouldn't have incarnated. You wouldn't, a spirit, a spirit to come into a body would have to have more good experiences than bad experiences. Like they'd have to or there's no, like you wouldn't take the risk to come in. And if you did take the risk to come in and you realize, hey, this is not enough good here, you'd be gone anyway. You would have had your heart attack already. You would have checked out. You would have left. You'd have been in the car accident. I mean you'd be gone. You wouldn't be a body anymore in a human experience. So there has to be more good than there is bad. Just so you know, just so you know, the risk is worth it here being here and now. All right. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Enough of that, Bridget. All right. All right. Let me go to the chat and say hello to you guys. I appreciate you being here again. If you're watching after, I will check the comments feed. Appreciate you watching here on above life channel on YouTube. All right. So let's see what we got. Let's make this really big even though I have my glasses on. Let's see what you guys are from. Oh, Switzerland. Hi, Isabel from Switzerland. Thank you. Oh, laid off. Yeah, no kidding. Coffee here. I don't have coffee right now. Actually, I just have water. But guess what cup I'm using? My Mickey Mouse cup. Why? Because Disney is one of the things that is my positive inputs that inspires me. You guys, every little thing really does help. All right. Lots of emotions. Yeah, there are lots of emotions. Emotions are not bad. You guys, free the emotions. Let them be. They're not bad. It's normal. They're not predictable and that's okay. Life isn't predictable. Trying to find time and a way to express my emotions. Help me with less meltdowns. You guys, meltdowns aren't bad either. They're not the end of the world. It's a human thing. We got to express that energy and get it out. You know those two-year-olds with temper tantrums? Boy, are they smart sometimes. Let's get it out. Get the energy out. Yeah, I see some stuff about sleep. Dream anxiety. I see that too. Yeah, it can be. Hey, I have a tip for that. I have a tip. Before you go to bed at night, if you have problems with sleeping, like last night, it was just a crazy night. I don't know what the deal is with last night. But I had a, my youngest kid ended up in my room. We're in my, my, uh, our master bedroom here right now and ended up sleeping on this little couch chair thing because he couldn't sleep. He was just like, mom, I can't, I just can't sleep. And my husband and I were the same way. We were both like, what's going on? I can't sleep. And then my mother-in-law called us at 1 30 in the morning. She's at an assisted living place and she has dementia and called us and thought it was like the afternoon, not the morning. And so she's called the talk and so I'm like, what is going on? Crazy night last night. But I have a tip on that. So before you go to bed, Archangel Meditron, Archangel Meditron has a really pretty kind of lilac lavender energy. Ask Meditron to come in and, um, encompass you and enfold you with that energy of light and to utilize his energy, Meditron's energy to realign your energy centers of your body. So not just the chakras internally, but to realign you to put you back in order. Meditron is my energetic chiropractor and he's freaking awesome. He is working all the time right now. He is like a masseuse. He is like a chiropractor. He is like helping you with your wellness and getting you into alignment. Mind, heart, spirit, and body, mind, heart, spirit, and body, mind, heart, spirit, and body. So Meditron and he's that beautiful lavender lilac color. And if you really want to connect with them, he does like the scent of lavender from what I've experienced. But all Archangels in my, in my experience love rose, rose scent, rose oil, rose wood, rose auto oil, rose, rose, rose oil. All right. Oh, Dina's written in her gratitude journal every morning when you wake up, sets my mindset from worry to positive. Good tip, gratitude journal stuff. That sounds like an Oprah thing, doesn't it? Yeah. Meditation doesn't always work for me either, says Lisa. You guys, writing really is an active thing. It's an activity. It's active. EFT tapping, yes. Tapping is also called EFT, emotional freedom technique. I also watch a guy called Brad Yates. He's great as like a quick tap, get tapping done with him. All right, let's see. Oh, you're welcome, Kate. Thank you so much for the positive message. Thank you, everyone on the chat. All right, you guys. Okay, I think we're going to wrap up this live stream. I want to say thank you so much for everybody who has been here today and been part of this experience before we wrap. Let's do some cards. Let's do some cards. Would anybody in the chat, anybody who's watching live here? Oops, anybody who's watching live in the chat, would anybody like a card? Because I'll do a card for you. I'm actually going to use this deck because it's pretty. I've been starting to use this one more. This is the Sacred Destiny Oracle card deck by Denise Ling. You guys know I like Denise Ling stuff. She's very grounded. Yay. Okay. Lisa would like a card and I'm going to give one to Sarah too. Okay, so let's do Lisa's. Do Lisa. Do you want to press that? There's no specific way that you have to do cards. Cards are just a tool, you guys. And in fact, on Fairy Grass Opportunity yesterday, I talked about cards and my view on them. Okay, so this one's for Lisa. Lisa, this card's for you. Truth. Oops. And for anybody else who is connected to this vibrational energy, when I suggest that when people start to use cards, I personally like to use the imagery and look at the image of it, but the power of truth feels great in alignment, especially with what we just said about Archangel Metatron helping to get our bodies into alignment or energy into alignment. What is true for you? What is true for you? There's a lot of false or anxious energy comes through and it makes us feel unsettled. And really, how do I say this? Let's say this. Archangel Michael can step in and specifically assist you, Lisa, if you're feeling very anxious in your heart space, if you worry a lot, if you're a worrier, if you take those anxiety meds and they are just not doing the trick right now, let Archangel Michael come in, step in and assist you with what is true, like what is really happening here because you might be worrying about stuff that in the past and stuff in the future and there's nothing you can do about it. And that's just the truth. This energy vibration, it's definitely a kind of, you know what this brings for, I can't stop looking at this card. You know what this brings forward to for me? Lisa, this might not just be for you, this might be for everybody else that's watching this particular video at this time, the air element, the element to see how this all kind of like looks like there's motion here kind of blurred or whatever. The air element helps to, it helps us with change, it helps us shift. So that is assisting right now. So is Archangel Michael. Archangel Michael is an energy ambassador for the energy of truth, the power of truth. So he's also present at this time. All right, so it's for Lisa. I'm going to get one for Sarah and then we'll do one for everybody. Okay, we'll do a couple here. It's like four and then we'll get one for everybody. So we got truth. Oh, by the way, you guys, I'll take a picture of this and I'll post it on the above life channel, Facebook page. You see that? See how that works? I got two here. So one for Lisa and I think Anjali. Jenny's? Is it Jenny's Anjali? Oh, that's a pretty name. Okay, so one for Sarah. This first one's for Sarah. Oh, Sarah, this is perfect for you. You're so sweet. I love your energy. I've talked with you before. I know you've been on other live streams. This sweetness. Oh, sweetness. You have such a positive energy anyway. So I mean, you could barely, I mean, which would make sense that you're very sensitive, obviously very clear and sensitive. Look at this. Oh my God, this is gorgeous. I don't even, I don't even know how to interpret this. It just feels good. It says delight. Oh, here, let's use it like this. Light. You are light, Ms. Sarah. You are light. Look at the vibrational energy. Look at all the sweet soft colors that turquoise is your creative energy, your creative vibe. Do more creating if you can. Do more artistry, summertime writing or painting and exploring your creative side because that is your vibe. You are light. You are light. You are light. You are so positive anyway. Your energy feels so good to me all the time. All right. So, and I said, is it Jenny's? Is it Jenny's or Jenny's? Anjali is Jenny's. Okay. We are going to do this card for you. Oh, are you ready? Because this is a big one. Like I said, you guys, I'm going to take a picture of all the cards together and I will post them on Above Life Channel Facebook so you can see them. Okay. So you can see them as a big reading as a whole and then take out the energy that fits for you right now. Look at this. Taking risks. Didn't we talk about risk? Risk and about being incarnated coming in that there are two goods for every bad basically. So connecting into what the energy of the circumstance of situation that is serving you. How is it serving you? What is good? What is the goodness here? Plug into the goodness, dial into the goodness, recognizing that the negative stuff does have a purpose. It does serve a purpose. Without that, we wouldn't have the balance of things, right? This feels like Arizona to me and it also feels like a Phoenix. You're under a lot of change. Taking risk does not feel like, oh, Jeannie. Jeannie in the bottle. Okay. That's what you said. Don't you like the way I said it? Jenny's? Does that sound cool? Okay, Bridget. Yeah. Getting a little silly here. I must be in the altered good energy vibes of our conversation. This doesn't mean you have to take a risk. What this means is being out of your comfort zone and being okay with that. This really does feel awesome. Look at the energy. It does feel like there's opening up though. There's definitely opportunity. I can certainly feel that. This feels like Arizona. Every time I look at this, it feels like Arizona. There you go. Let's do one for Sean. Hey, I'm going to switch cards. I'm going to go to, just because I feel like it, the sacred traveler deck also by Denise Lynn. They're for the purple ones, Sean. See? Jeannie, Jeannie. Oui, oui, Jeannie. Whoops. Whoa. Sean, that was your card. It just went flying off. Okay, this is Sean's card. Sean, travel lightly. Travel lightly. No baggage. No time for baggage here. No time for your baggage. You need a carry on. That's all you got is a carry on. Lighten your load. This isn't just talking about physically lightening your load, lightening your load, although it might be if you've been wanting to get healthier and physical body. If it's been tough on your joints or if you have something that you know you could, how do I say this? This might be a physical body thing as far as that goes, as far as health goes, but I feel like it's more about old cycles and old patterns. It's not really about the physical environment. It might be about the physical body and how you feel in your body, but if you change some of the old patterns and cycles just by being aware of them and make some less, have less control over you, you don't have to go, oh, this is a problem I've had the same relationship over and over and over again, the same kind of pattern over and over and over again. Oh, this is a problem I have. No, you can, what you can do is you can lighten up the intensity of the energy of it by just being aware of it. It's about patterns. That's what this feels like to me. Every time I pull this card, you know what I also say about it? So for the rest of you who are watching, this might be about you. Okay, so pay attention. Every time I say about this is, okay, notice that bin, that big tall basket. Is that a recycle bin? Like, is that going to like, are you getting rid of stuff there? Are you, you know, throwing things away? Is it the garbage? Or, or is it a refueling station? Is it one of those places where like, people leave stuff so that other people can have them when they need it? Like, scarves tied to a fence posts in the park so that kids in the winter time that don't have scarves can grab them, for example? Is it like that? Maybe it's that. What is it for you? Either way, either way, it's just a symbol for you to know that you have support and you have the support you need. There you go. Simplify your life. This is not about cleansing. This is not about like, at least for you, Sean, it doesn't feel like that. Now, you can interpret it on your own. Like, don't just take what Bridget says, but it doesn't feel like it's that. It feels like it's a cycle pattern thing. Being aware of it, then it won't have such a hold on you. It won't have such a hold on you. You have a choice then. You recognize that you have a choice. All right, one more, one more. Oh, Trace. Tracy, I am in Perth. Always too tired to keep up. Oh, honey. Okay. All right. Let's do one for you. Hey, let's do this one. Now we're gonna have three different decks. This will be fun when I'm trying to like explain why I have all these decks. Let's use this one. Soul Coaching. Denise Lynn, of course. This one's for Tracy in Perth. Oh, sorry about that, you guys. Low power mode on my phone. Okay, got one more, and then we got a wrap, wrap, wrap, wrap. Okay. Oh, this one. Oh, here we go. Freedom. Horse. I love horses. I've been so connected to horses lately. Oh my gosh, freedom. You have the freedom to choose. You have so much freedom. You don't have to run away from anything. You can have movement through joy. You can connect with life and the changes that are happening in a way that is more positive and helpful and hopeful for you. Boundless freedom surges through me. This is not, this is kind of about the energy of taking that kind of unsettled energy and putting it into something that you want to focus on to really channel that energy. Okay, hopefully my battery won't die, you guys, and I'll be able to finish this up, but freedom, the energy of freedom. Tracy, take a look at the horse totem animal and get more information or additional information about that. Okay, so we've had five cards here, you guys.
