 Hi, it's Bridget. Hey, I'm arriving. I'm arriving Hi, nice to see you. Let's see how I'm gonna set this. Okay Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to above-life channel. The purpose here as always is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope. Today, we're gonna have an interesting conversation with Prince in the afterlife. Now, I wanted to talk to one of my spirit guide friends about Shakti, about the energy of sensuality, the energy of expression in regards to loving your physical body and sharing that Okay, we're just gonna talk about sex, kind of, but not in the way you think. We're gonna talk about sensuality. We're gonna talk about Shakti. Shakti is the energy of this fire, desire, and also coupled with and enveloped with the energy of love as a sacred container. So the one spirit guide friend that I knew I could talk to about this that I haven't talked to recently is actually Prince. So we're gonna have a conversation. So it's an adult conversation, kind of. Okay, this is a tough topic to talk about with all y'all, but we're gonna do it. I've talked recently about gender and spirituality and kind of how that we are transcending gender instead of just one identity of man or woman in body expression and energy expression and identification. And I've talked to you about that. I'm gender specifically. We've had a conversation about that in a channeling video. I think we talk to trying to remember who we talked to about gender. Did we talk to Carrie Fisher or David Bowie? I can't remember exactly, but we started to have some of those conversations. I think it's really important to do that, especially because it's coming into my awareness. I'm trying to use new pronouns. I'm trying to use a broader perspective when I connect and share and talk about my life instead of just like a husband instead of that a partner. And just really encompassing and honoring a lot of my viewers and people I love deeply and care about deeply who have feelings about gender specifically and expression and also about sexuality and expression. So let's have some conversation. Now that's a lot. That's a big order to serve up here for Mr. Prince in the afterlife, but I think he can handle it. Let's be clear. So when you talk, when I talk about, so I know it used to be kind of taboo, like when you, he's here already, obviously you guys, I mean, I think you can feel him right. When you did, you were like cutting edge a bit because when you did the whole purple rain album and, well, I don't even know if it was purple rain specifically. I think it was purple rain actually where you got the rating where it was almost like a rated R rating or something because of the explicit lyrics and we talked about sexuality and masturbation and all sorts of things related to women and men and very much this kind of freedom of expression. And kind of on the cutting edge of some of that stuff and borderline back then we used to be like, oh, that's so raunchy. That's, I mean, hello, I'm a childhood like the 80s. Okay. So it was like, oh, that's so raunchy. That's so naughty. Like I even thought that I was like, oh no, I'm not Prince fan. That's like naughty. I'm like 11 years old, you know, that's so naughty. You know, like, come on, you guys, right? Remember like even Michael Jackson all grabbing himself. I was cool with Michael Jackson, but I guess he has a little more mainstream grabbing himself. Well, now we know what we know. And now, hello, who is the one that maybe would have been a little more open to express themselves in a very authentic way, maybe Prince, right? Maybe that's the kind of vibe we should have been having conversation around in the first place. So as not to vilify sexuality or sensuality. And when I say sexuality or sensuality, I'm talking about the expression of not the identification, not the type of partner you have, not how you resonate in your body, but just in general, the expression, sexuality, the expression, you know. So clearly you were cutting edge. And also you have some androgynous features or rather, maybe I shouldn't say androgynous because maybe even so your petite structure. I know you hate that when I say that, but it's just the truth. Okay, your body type and your hair and makeup and the way you could move and dance and the clothes you chose were kind of a mixture of masculine feminine. I mean, there was definitely sensuality. Of course, he says, oh, it was pure sex. He's like, I was it was dripping off me. He's like, sex was just dripping off me. That's obvious. It's very obvious to all of us. And so I'm curious about now this afterlife perspective, looking back on human life, being known as like a player or a ladies man, etc. The impact now, looking back on that, do you think that I mean, you played with gender, you played with the expression of gender, but also not specifically calling out or singling out gender, you also had that gender expressive mix in with sexuality. And so I think that's really confusing. I know it's really confusing for me, because at first when I was learning about gender identities and gender variations and things and the whole range of how that is expressed and experienced by people. And I right away was all confused about, well, how does that fit with sexual orientation or attraction or sexuality? And so can you talk to us about this? Because I think you were on to something way ahead of time because you just expressed. Do you have something to say about that the way that you presented yourself and expressed yourself? He's like, he's really said literally says, I was dripping sex. And he said, okay, so is it because sex sells? Is it because it's a marketing thing? I mean, let's be honest. I mean, look at advertisements, look at models, look at Instagram nowadays, look at the old school commercials and movies and all that. I mean, it totally does and did instilled us but in different ways now it's now there's a huge range. Who are you actually appealing to? There's not this or that. There's a whole bunch of extra ways to connect. He's saying I didn't I don't think I he says I wouldn't say that I consciously connected to my feminine side. He's saying I definitely loved women. And he says I appreciated them. They were like works of art, the woman's body and the just the features of a woman's body and the curves and the the like the beauty of it. He's saying like art like we as women. I identify as a woman. So I'm a she woman. And he's saying they're like works of art. So, okay. And so in a sense of appreciation for that or adoration or even you guys like devotion, like almost like a devotion to women, he borrowed some of their like hair kind of ways and used makeup for expression of beauty. And he says so creative. So he says fluid he actually uses the word fluid. So would you say it like looking at you now like if you are here today and people might say that you are gender fluid, would you would that resonate with you? Does that does that identify? Does that make sense to you? He says I don't think it needs to be it doesn't need to be specific. He's like you don't need to he says I don't need that. If that's how people connect to me or through my work or my art and it it means something for you. He says like that's that's the meaning for you. He says it's not that wasn't an intentional thing I was doing he says and and I wouldn't say that I would change anything today like he literally says I wouldn't change anything today. I wouldn't change anything. And then he also says to me very specifically I identify as a man in human context in human terms I identified as a man and he says now as a spirit in the afterlife without gender there's no gender in the afterlife. He says I would definitely he said I would certainly say that it would be masculine with a devotion or love appreciation for the woman for the ultimate divine woman. He says that is the purest source and sense of beauty. He says so we're going to talk about sex. Yeah let's talk about sex. I'm so going to have to like categorize this or something on YouTube but this is going to be a fascinating conversation. So because you're connected to divine feminine and women and appreciation for women clearly you understand or understand shock to energy which is that sacred fire desire energy this desires energy and that like for me I connect that with my ability to express myself and be as Glenn and Doyle would say untamed in my body. So if you guys don't know who Glenn and Doyle is take a look at her stuff she's got a great podcast we can do hard things it's on iTunes and other places as well probably Spotify so check that out but that's kind of what allowed me to start to consider different levels of expression and freedom of expression as far as being a sensual and and connecting with my essence I guess in a sensual way so I think this would be helpful for other people to hear okay men or women or however you identify whatever your attraction orientation is this is a good conversation and you know so get some coffee or maybe some wine so talk to us about this your understanding of Shakti and the desire in within women or the womanly desire because Shakti is the female identification it's so hard to say that so messy to say that so messy to say gender specific but that's what it Shakti is identified is traditionally connected to the understanding of woman divine feminine and Shiva is traditionally connected to the divine understanding of man masculine there we go that's how we'll say it I won't say too much extra words because then I just complicate things and offend people so let's not do that because I don't mean that by the way not even I'm so fine with whatever I'm like a whatever talk to us about your understanding of Shakti the divine feminine can you do that Mr. Prince Rogers Nelson from the afterlife he says I think we've covered that women are beautiful they are this source of beauty he says they are just this beautiful he literally shows me like a flower like at the center of the body and just this opening of this lotus flower or opening of a rose and he says it has to be more progressive more transcendent so it's much more rose like and he says women are truly transcendent he says in the energy of the expression of the essence of woman so when you identify with the energy of woman or Shakti he says it's kind of like perfume is what he's showing me it's literally showing me like an exotic perfume you know a little musky a little bit of that cashmere kind of notes of that with that kind of sensual maybe even sandalwood or depending upon how you activate or connect with that kind of free flowing energy of the fire element of the Shakti energy he says it's like that it's like this perfume or this essence of woman and he says men love that he says if you're in a position where you're a man and you feel a kinship with that present that presentation of man he's like you feel it's so crazy you guys because literally he's trying to talk to me about this from an afterlife perspective which there's no bodies so there's really no male or female or body parts let's be clear except he's showing me this beautiful goddess woman body and I keep going like this like with the curse I hope that doesn't offend anybody and if it does too bad I don't mean it that way but I'm like you can appreciate that a beautiful body and men have that too they have this kind of structure in their shoulders and and in their backs and in their bodies as well maybe in their legs and you know there's different parts of men that you can appreciate too the form of the body but what he showing me is this transcendence and like the women or the energy of Shakti which is identified with this essence of woman divine feminine is like a perfume and men have that too he's like men just he says you can just literally breathe that in and activate that fire inside you he said it actually comes when I see it he said it comes into you he says from the place between your heart and your sacro chakra whether you're whatever kind of body type you have you have all the chakras the seven energy centers of the body that follow from the top of the head all the way down to the root chakra so he says it comes in between the heart and the solar plexus is that right yeah so there's the heart chakra and at your belly there's a solar plexus and right below that at the womb space for a woman's body the low gut for men is the sacro chakra and he's showing me that the the Shakti energy this light this fire desire actually comes at the bottom of the heart and the top of the solar plexus so the bottom of the heart with the emotions and the energy of the emotion infused and at the top of the solar plexus which is purpose so the purpose is to love and he's like the the purpose is the freedom of the expression of love that's what Shakti is the purpose is the freedom of the expression of love that's what the definition of Shakti is from prince in the afterlife the purpose is the freedom for the connection of love boom heart chakra solar plexus boom that's what it is i did not realize that that is fascinating that's fascinating okay so how many of you are thinking it's a goddess thing and it's like womb sacral chakra it's like where the sex organs are it's that's what it's about that's where the Shakti energy is the root chakra and the sacral chakra connected in where everything is at well the action is right in the physical form prince says it's here between the heart and the solar plexus and it's really about the freedom of the connection for the love and that's what it is and he says it's essence it's pure essence it's it's just pure essence and literally like perfume pure essence is what he says you can't think of it in terms of an act of a type of body where pieces fit together and let's say that you can't think of it like that he says it's transcendent and then you should we need every time he says transcendent to you guys every time prince says transcendent i see this lotus flower like opening up and every time i see this lotus flower i totally think of the episode from friends so gonna date myself so gonna date myself the episode from friends where monica was like talking they were having a flashback she was talking to rachel who was like the cool girl and monica was like did you give him your flower did you give him your flower like talking about having sex for the first time right and so that's what i think of what i think let's see this image of friss showing me this lotus flower and he's saying bridge it it's about transcending what you think you know in your human mind in your human body it's an it's like this advanced ascended expression that you you can't he says we're we and our minds are so limited but our bodies are willing to be open to the freedom of the flow of love that's all you really want he says that's what your spirit wants is to be free with the energy of love because that's what spirit is he says his pure love and the body loves the loving energy because that keeps it safe from disease that helps it feel happy spontaneous joyful he says that keeps the body creative and flowing and movement and it's just it's it needs to express and that's what movement is that's what flow is that's what energy does he's like you know all these things he basically says it's transcendent and it's this big lotus and i'm like so cool wow like my mind is like okay so i get it so this is why then this is why all of the new the younger generation i'm going to be very stereotypical and i'm going to paint with a broad brush you guys so not true for everyone i'm just making some broad statements here but it seems like the younger generation is way more open to sexuality who they're attracted to who they fall in love with um that they're not limited by bodies body shape body type um they feel so much more um there's there's so much but there's also so much so many more opportunities to to screw that up and offend people because of all the different labels and identifications within genders within sexual orientations and all that and it's like we're seeking to belong so we need a label or a category or someplace to fit in but at the same time this younger generation especially they're creating this huge wave of we don't want that you don't need that be an expression people are people let's just spirits our spirits in bodies that's really what people are is spirit in a human body so let's just be free spirits and let's not think too much about things let's not get in our own heads and get in our own ways let's just be open and loving and follow when our soul recognizes ourselves and another that's when the attraction connects and then that that's when that shockty light lights up and that's when we can have real beautiful spiritual connections with human bodies people in a human context and experience and then we can build upon that into relationships that foster a freedom of expression in other areas like in abundance and making as much money as you want in your life or an expression as an artist or a writer or an expression as being a successful teacher or a successful doctor or a successful entrepreneur or a successful parent however that that looks and shows up that shocks you light energy can then fuel these other parts of life and expression through relationship so it's I know it's a confusing time and I am like we're just going to say I'm in my mid 40s okay and you guys are going to be kind and say oh no you look like you're in your mid 40s let's just say let's say mid 40s even though I'm being very generous so at the place I'm at in my life I have kids that are in high school college and middle school and they're in relationships and friendships and and romantic relationships where they're not traditional and what the hell is traditional anyway like it doesn't matter there's no such thing as traditional traditional is the past and so right now here in the present I think if we just cut ourselves some slack and not have to try to fit ourselves our kids our family our parents our grandparents into old ways of thinking but to recognize that people had different have had different experiences and they will continue to have different experiences as we move ahead and look back right and you can look back and understand things so much easier right so let's stop trying to look back and understand things let's just acknowledge that we come into the present moment with different expressions different understandings different experiences different I was having a conversation with a family member the other day about this and you all know right that my dad was gay my dad was gay but he was closeted I hate that term that sounds so stupid that sounds so stupid I'm sorry I don't like the term um but he was not living his truth truth at all um openly or with his family or anything he was very much afraid it was very stigmatic at that time all of the things right I don't judge him there's no judgment whatsoever that's his those are his choices but so I was having a conversation with a family member and we were having this conversation about how cool it is that cool it is that this generation now can and we as their parents can let them just unfold let them have different kinds of relationships and different life experiences because we're going to need that in other areas in innovation in in education and science and in art and so many ways we're going to need all of this progressive energy that is trying to I think create a some more of a solid foundation of an not an acceptance that's not the right word but embracing the truest diversity of all which is literally the diversity of everything because each of us is unique and we bring unique things in so many ways and a lot of those uniquenesses are not obvious they're not overt like you don't know do you know my gender expression is really the only reason you know that is because I said I identify as a woman and my pronoun is she and I probably look today like a woman right but I could be fluid even though I'm in my mid 40s I could totally change my perspective and be like hey now I'm free to I never grew up this way I could totally present more masculine if I chose to and sometimes I do actually dress a little more masculine I think we're looking back on things I probably do at times which is fine whatever right but I was having this conversation with family member and we were like yeah it's just such a different time than it was back when we were growing up you know and I said yeah like there's so many more choices now there's so many more choices within ourselves to recognize who we really are or who we might be now you know I think that's why people start to kind of wake up later in life to different experiences and lifestyles and it's not like a midlife crisis where you check in with yourself necessarily it's just like wow the world is unfolding and I know there's drama and trauma right now I know it's confusing but that confusion that messiness is art it's like creating and finding new ways new things to excite us to inspire us and to fill us with hope and that's the point right so how did I do Prince hmm yeah I think this was an interesting conversation I hope you guys thought it was interesting I mean all over the place I know but come on this is like my channel I could talk about whatever I want to talk about in today I thought this was great I thought this was an interesting topic and it sure perked me up woke me up today so I thank
