Good for you

1:57

Virgo moon and

1:57

Scorpio rising for those who are

2:01

curious. And a lot of planets in

2:01

Gemini. So I think you'll hear

2:06

that when I start talking. And I

2:06

just kind of go a little bit all

2:08

over the place. If you've

2:08

experienced me in class, it's

2:11

like, here's this topic but also

2:11

bla bla bla bla bla bla bla side

2:15

story so yep, my name is

2:15

Alexander Kriech or Alex is fine

2:20

whichever. I use Alexander cuz

2:20

it's more powerful online. But

2:25

friends family call me Alex. I'm

2:25

in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

2:29

Pronouns he him. Sometimes they

2:29

them. It just mostly em. So I'm

2:36

a professional intuitive,

2:36

medium, numerologist, and

2:43

budding astrologer. I have been

2:43

in the woowoo world since

2:50

officially since 2015 is when I

2:50

started my business. But I've

2:54

been interested since I was a

2:54

tiny child. Like as early as

3:00

second grade I was in the

3:00

library just like checking out

3:03

books on near death experiences

3:03

interviewing my grandma about

3:06

her near death experience and

3:06

like reading about UFOs and my

3:12

my mom's best friend we called

3:12

the my uncle was just you know,

3:16

her gay best friend basically.

3:16

And what I was record sightings

3:20

for me which is like the super

3:20

cheesy paranormal only kind of

3:24

unsolved mysteries. And it was

3:24

like my jam and I think left a

3:28

really kind of big. It was like

3:28

a very big clue of like what I

3:32

wanted to do, basically with

3:32

something kind of in this world.

3:37

Yeah, I do. You know, psychic

3:37

readings, I do numerology, all

3:42

the things. I also teach psychic

3:42

development as well. Because I

3:48

think everyone has access to

3:48

intuition and honing their

3:52

development. And like, intuitive

3:52

ability to me is I guess for

3:57

some people, it's like more of

3:57

an obvious talent. But I think

4:00

it can be developed in everyone.

4:00

Obviously, not everyone is

4:03

supposed to go out and be like a

4:03

professional at it. But everyone

4:06

can like find one. Everyone can

4:06

play a few notes in the piano.

4:10

It doesn't mean you're gonna be

4:10

a master pianist, but like

4:12

intuitive ability, something I

4:12

think that is that comes. That

4:15

is a natural sense to everyone.

4:15

So I'm super passionate about

4:20

teaching that and teaching

4:20

everyone how to kind of open

4:22

that up if they wish to.

4:24

So now recently

4:24

you taught a class on chakras.

4:29

Mm hmm.

4:30

So that's what

4:30

we're here are all about it.

4:33

Now. For some people, they may

4:33

know what the chakras are and

4:36

some may think that we don't

4:36

know what we're talking about.

4:43

We don't

4:43

No, we don't.

4:43

Now, there are seven main

4:47

chakras. Am I correct? There are

4:47

seven main chakras in our body

4:50

starting at our root chakra.

4:52

Mhmm, going

4:52

all the way to the crown and I

4:56

always, you know, tell people to

4:56

like yes, we have the seven main

4:59

chakras. That's just our way of

4:59

perceiving our vastly complex

5:03

energy system. But the chakras

5:03

really have a, an effect on your

5:08

physical body and your overall

5:08

wellness. It's not just like a

5:12

woowoo out there spiritual

5:12

thing. You know if one of your

5:14

chakras is out of balance, I did

5:14

this so I taught that I teach

5:20

chakra is as part of my students

5:20

like my intuitive development

5:22

program. But I also just got

5:22

done teaching this like whole

5:28

series with this super with this

5:28

kind of ex master yoga teacher,

5:34

chakra expert, her whole thing

5:34

is the chakras. And she kind of

5:37

comes out after like a very

5:37

grounded, like body mind,

5:40

connection kind of perspective.

5:40

And we've talked about what it's

5:44

like, you know, for someone who

5:44

has say, like an excessive Heart

5:48

Chakra, right? Like they might

5:48

be always giving to other people

5:52

never kind of feeling at their

5:52

own cup, they might feel kind of

5:54

numb at the end of the day. The

5:54

heart has to do with it.

6:01

Obviously, I'm not a medical

6:01

professional by any means.

6:05

But, you know,

6:05

throw that warning out there.

6:09

Disclaimer, we are not doctors

6:09

or psychologists. We just play

6:13

one on podcasts and TV.

6:16

The actual

6:16

title, exactly, but it does. In

6:21

general, if you're if your

6:21

chakras are you know, out of

6:23

whack for a long time that can have chronic physical health issues, too. So absolutely.

6:29

And so that's the important thing about chakras. Two is like one of the things

6:31

that people don't understand is

6:34

these show up in your body. And

6:34

chakras are very much like a

6:37

physical manifestation like, I

6:37

think, because and I think this

6:40

is why you're a good fit for

6:40

this podcast is because that's

6:43

one of the things we do is we talk about how is this accessible to people? Because

6:45

one of the things about chakras

6:47

is like it shows up like, you

6:47

know, like, when you feel

6:51

stressed in your body somewhere,

6:51

like maybe you or your stomach

6:53

is upset and you got, I don't

6:53

know what nausea or you're

6:56

feeling like you're in the pit

6:56

of your stomach. That's usually

6:58

like your sacral center.

6:59

Mm hmm.

6:59

Absolutely. Yep. And the way the

7:04

way I teach it is, you know,

7:04

like, your chakras are kind of

7:10

there, between like, physical

7:10

reality and just like pure

7:13

energy, basically. So we have

7:13

the physical body. We have the

7:17

chakras, and then the chakras

7:17

project the aura, which is like,

7:20

like your electromagnetic field

7:20

around your body, right? Yeah,

7:25

but they're there end up being

7:25

super important. Whether you

7:28

like whether you think they are

7:28

or not, they, you have the seven

7:32

main chakras, and lots of other

7:32

little chakras that I'm not a

7:36

super expert in, but you have

7:36

chakras in like the palms of

7:38

your hands, chakras in your

7:38

feet. When we do like these

7:42

exercises in class, I always

7:42

have people pull up like

7:45

imagining pulling up, like the

7:45

super healing earth energy

7:48

through your feet, right. So you

7:48

know, you're so your whole root

7:53

chakra system, like kind of goes

7:53

down from the your, like the

7:58

tailbone, kind of like the

7:58

bottom of your spine, but also

8:00

really kind of into your legs

8:00

and feet. And when you're not

8:03

grounded, like this, this root

8:03

chakra, everything else is kind

8:06

of messed up. Because grounding

8:06

is like, for me being you know,

8:11

professional, psychic, and all

8:11

this other stuff. I absolutely

8:14

need to be grounded. Like

8:14

absolutely, like your root

8:17

chakra is about your survival

8:17

system. Like, you know, being

8:21

kind of here in the present

8:21

moment being really rooted, not

8:24

kind of, you know, floating off

8:24

into airy fairy land. When I do

8:27

a reading I have to be like,

8:27

very connected into the energy

8:31

grid of the earth and be like,

8:31

yes, I'm doing a second reading.

8:34

But I have to feed my cat and a

8:34

half hour I have bills to pay

8:38

and you remember my rent check

8:38

on time. Like, you know, I need

8:43

to be here in my body. Right? So

8:43

and it's just,

8:46

I feel like

8:46

that's a whole nother episode of

8:49

like, firemen and readings. How

8:49

does your cat show up in

8:54

readings? I yeah, that's a whole

8:54

nother episode. In fact, you

8:57

could start a whole Instagram

8:57

for him as a psychic cat.

9:03

As my little

9:03

as my little familiar, you know?

9:06

Yeah, you're

9:06

familiar. Well, so I'm just

9:09

going to quickly go through the

9:09

chakras for people who might not

9:12

know. And so we're gonna start

9:12

at the base or our root chakra,

9:16

which Alex just talked about.

9:16

And that is located where I love

9:22

it when you say your butt. Yes,

9:22

I'm taking glasses viewing it

9:29

like and just get your butt.

9:29

Yeah. Like, yeah, I got a big

9:34

butt my root chakra. So when I

9:34

root down this is gonna be a

9:39

huge but this is where we have like

9:45

our basic trust in our basic

9:49

sense of stability and place in

9:49

our bodies in our homes. And

9:57

then we associate that with the

9:57

color red, I'll even add that in

10:01

there. See, I wrote this whole

10:01

book like a year ago and

10:04

actually talk that chakras in here.

10:05

Awesome. Cool.

10:06

So I was like,

10:06

I've got this on my desk. So

10:12

then we move up to our Sacral

10:12

Chakra, which is below the belly

10:16

button in the womb space between

10:16

the hips sort of area. This is

10:21

where we hold our sexuality, our

10:21

creativity, and that is born.

10:27

That's the color that we

10:27

associate there. Then we move up

10:30

to our solar plexus chakra,

10:30

which is just above our belly

10:33

buttons, and right below our

10:33

diaphragm. So this is where we

10:38

have our power center, we have

10:38

our wisdom, you know, that gut

10:42

feeling or your gut intuition.

10:42

That's all right there. And we

10:45

associate the color yellow with

10:45

our solar plexus. And then we

10:50

come up to our heart center, our

10:50

heart chakra, where we have our

10:53

love and our healing. And we

10:53

associate that with the color

10:57

green. And then we move up to

10:57

our throat chakra, right there

11:03

in the base of our throat, you

11:03

know, where you get that lump,

11:05

where you might have it your

11:05

Adam's apple, this is our

11:09

communication center, obviously.

11:09

And we associate that with the

11:16

color blue, then we move to our

11:16

third eye, right? White, right

11:20

between our brows. And this is

11:20

really our awareness center.

11:24

And, and this is your Indigo

11:24

color, your deep blue, that that

11:32

we're going into, and then we go

11:32

right up to the crown of our

11:34

head, our crown chakra, which is

11:34

our connection to source

11:39

spirituality. And we have a

11:39

beautiful violet, violet, white

11:44

light. I mean, it's imagine it

11:44

as you will. But you think it's

11:51

so white, it's on fire, it's got

11:51

a little so those are the basic

11:57

seven chakras granted that

11:57

you've got your soul star and

12:01

your earth star and all these

12:01

things around you and meridians

12:05

and, and all of these things

12:05

that you can get into but we're

12:09

not going to do that.

12:11

But I just realized looking at this picture in your book, I just realized it is a

12:13

rainbow from your from your root

12:17

up to your top. So it goes in

12:17

like the order of the visibility

12:20

with which you can see, which I think

12:22

Did tou just pull my book off your shelf.

12:23

I did. I legit pulled

12:23

it off the shelf.

12:26

OMG I adore you.

12:27

And then just looking at it. I'm like, wait a minute, that's roygbiv, red, orange,

12:29

yellow, green, blue, indigo,

12:31

violet. And it's in the spectrum

12:31

of you know, the light that you

12:34

can see to the light you can't

12:34

see. And I think that's

12:36

wonderful. Because when like the

12:36

chakra, like the roots chakra.

12:39

I'm getting excited. So I'm slow

12:39

down and pull back, I get

12:43

I didn't realize that either. That's funny. I was like, Oh, that

12:44

makes a lot of sense, doesn't

12:47

it?

12:47

It does. Yeah.

12:49

You're going to..

12:51

Go ahead, go ahead. No Go.

12:52

So you're, you're kind of going for like the most you're like lower three

12:54

chakras or you're more like

12:57

primal, animalistic centers.

12:57

It's kind of like going from

13:01

like more dense energies all the

13:01

way up to like super spiritual

13:04

ethereal. But I definitely am

13:04

like, start with the root first.

13:08

And, you know, do you and when I

13:08

in this workshop I was doing

13:14

that you can actually download

13:14

now it's called. Oh my god. It's

13:19

called, we call it a Goldilocks

13:19

basically, it's like finding

13:22

just right with your chakras,

13:22

right? It's like the fun

13:24

tagline. But it was, it was

13:24

cool, because we were discussing

13:31

how with each chakra, you kind

13:31

of find out if you're obsessive,

13:35

if that's your, like, superpower

13:35

chakra if that's your extreme.

13:39

So like I tend to be a little

13:39

excessive in the third eye and

13:41

like I needed to like check my astrology for head out for the day. And a little a little maybe

13:43

rigid in my root chakra too,

13:49

which is kind of interesting.

13:49

But that's where I tend to be. I

13:52

tend to kind of have those

13:52

extremes and then my throat i

13:54

think is my most dominant chakra

13:54

like I'm always thinking I'm

13:58

always kind of in my head. I'm

13:58

always like, you know, I have a

14:01

podcast too. I love to tell

14:01

stories and talk and I'm like,

14:04

Yeah, it's a dominant throat.

14:06

I'm like extra

14:06

everywhere like everything is

14:09

excessive like my energy all the

14:09

time. Like excessive everywhere.

14:17

I am. I'm

14:17

excessive crown I am I will say

14:21

that it often feels like my hair

14:21

is growing. I just have that

14:26

itchy scalp sort of thing. But I

14:26

there's nothing wrong with me

14:29

scalp. So it's just like I get

14:29

that constant buzz in my crown

14:34

chakra a lot. And definitely. I

14:34

have a big old heart opening and

14:40

I was that person who is off

14:40

that felt depleted and like just

14:44

completely awful from giving too

14:44

much at the end of the day. That

14:48

has changed. Yes, that has changed.

14:51

Good for you.

14:51

I now subscribe

14:51

to self care which some call

14:54

selfish. I call fan fucking

14:54

tastic

14:59

Let me find out who is calling you selfish.

15:02

And then I'm a

15:02

little depleted in the root. And

15:05

that happens a lot. And I see.

15:05

And what's really funny because

15:09

I am an energy healer, and I

15:09

have an entire army of energy

15:16

healers that I see and speak to

15:18

yeah. I hear

15:18

that.

15:20

you know, it's

15:20

even though I could, in a way

15:25

heal myself. I'm lazy, I listen,

15:25

it's easier to, it's easier to

15:34

go get a second opinion, another

15:34

perspective from somebody else,

15:39

you know, see how it sits and

15:39

resonates with you. And then you

15:43

get some insight to work through

15:43

stuff because working at it on

15:46

your own sucks and, and

15:48

you have your

15:48

blind spots too You don't see

15:51

everything and, you know, like,

15:51

if you're, I just, you know,

15:55

there's something like, I'm a

15:55

crier, whenever I go get like a

15:58

Reiki treatment from someone I

15:58

trust or something I'm like, or

16:01

like a really good massage or

16:01

like, I just like, whatever, I

16:06

don't know, what I need. I need

16:06

healing to, you know,

16:09

you're my people. I'm a crier.

16:12

I think I've cried at

16:12

least a total of 12 times today

16:14

alone. Like, I think my heart

16:14

chakra is open for God knows God

16:18

knows what reasons this week,

16:18

and I'm just like, I don't know

16:21

what is going on with me. Like

16:21

this is something like, I think

16:24

it's actually great because, um,

16:24

we like we talked about, like,

16:26

things being open and things

16:26

being closed. And I don't want

16:29

to shift gears a little bit and talk about like, what happens when these things are like in

16:31

excess? Because I think we think

16:34

about like opening channels and

16:34

things like that. Like, let's

16:37

think about like water, I guess

16:37

is the way to put it and like

16:39

water flowing up and down your body?

16:43

I would think

16:43

so he kind of for me like a kind

16:46

of go each one. So like a super

16:46

super, I'm going to say

16:48

excessive super open root would

16:48

be someone like that might be

16:53

very, very stuck in one city,

16:53

the town that they grew up in,

16:58

like they don't want to leave

16:58

that space. Like that. Like they

17:03

have to know kind of what is

17:03

coming up for them. Like what

17:05

like where their next paycheck

17:05

is coming from like it. It's

17:08

really kind of very focused in

17:08

their physical environment. I

17:11

would think like a super.

17:12

That's my partner.

17:14

Oh, really?

17:14

Yeah. But maybe they maybe they

17:19

balanced you out a little bit, too.

17:21

I think that's

17:21

the whole point. I'm all up

17:23

here. They're all down there.

17:23

Yep,

17:26

I definitely think a little bit more. I can be a little bit more guarded

17:27

than my partner to like, just in

17:30

my case, like, but then

17:30

sometimes I like take off like

17:33

an astronaut and they're like,

17:33

hey, Alex, you just dropped an

17:36

entire today. I pretended I had

17:36

no arms and I dropped a roll of

17:40

toilet paper in the toilet. I

17:40

don't know, whatever. It's so

17:44

um, but I had like excessive

17:44

sacral I would say it's like

17:49

overly needing, like, sexual

17:49

experiences or like just needing

17:55

to like move the body constantly

17:55

needing excitement. It's like

17:58

not quite ever calming down and

17:58

coming back to Earth. Right.

18:02

Super open core, or like I would

18:02

say excessive core. So why don't

18:09

you describe that?

18:10

Well, no, I I

18:10

think Zeph and I were both

18:13

pointing to ourselves here about

18:13

excessive sacral chakras that

18:20

we've all gone gone down the

18:20

the road. Oh, whoa. Yeah, we've

18:28

all been there. We've been on

18:28

Hodeo Avenue. And

18:33

I hear you I hear you. Mine could be more open. I gotta say Mine could be

18:35

more open. I think so.

18:39

But if you want to

18:39

borrow any of my openness. Let

18:41

me know I have plenty to give.

18:45

I'll take some you can send it my way.

18:47

Let's do an energy transfer.

18:48

This sounds

18:48

good. I'm just gonna take some

18:53

of your I'll take some of your

18:53

Sacral Chakra please. So

18:59

On to the solar

18:59

plexus. So with

19:03

super open

19:03

core, I would say is like, you

19:05

know, Boss Lady to the extreme.

19:05

It's basically what I would say

19:08

with that. It's like, it's like

19:08

constant competition, constantly

19:13

achieving, but to the point of

19:13

like where it's like, they can't

19:15

stop competing. I would think

19:20

that I'm a

19:20

competitor, but I don't stop

19:22

like this. I'm a gold digger.

19:25

Yeah, totally.

19:25

I mean, which isn't a bad thing.

19:28

It just if it gets in the way of

19:28

something that would be

19:31

Yeah, it's like Leslie

19:31

Knope. Basically like Leslie

19:34

Knope ratcheted up to like 100 and

19:37

that's a great

19:37

that's a great example. Someone

19:41

with like, a dominant or

19:41

excessive course. Lovely notes,

19:45

binders that she can create in

19:45

like, several hours.

19:48

Those binders are like my love language.

19:52

I wish I had

19:52

that. Like I just tend to be a

19:55

little I tend to be really nerd

19:55

like neurodivergent like

19:59

somewhere in the ADD Kind of

19:59

spectrum. So I wish I was a

20:02

little more organized. Super,

20:02

but we've talked about the

20:05

heart, super excessive heart,

20:05

excessive throat, I would think

20:08

like a performer like, it's like

20:08

what I see performer like this

20:13

might be like a stand up comic

20:13

or someone who uses like

20:16

communication. But to the

20:16

extreme, they might never stop

20:20

talking to me love to hear

20:20

themselves talk, I think also

20:24

maybe would have a hard time

20:24

like shutting off their mind as

20:27

well to like, constantly

20:27

analyzing. The third eye super

20:32

excessive third eye is like

20:32

someone who like can't come back

20:35

down to earth, I think and like

20:35

third eye and crown excessive

20:39

kind of goes together, honestly.

20:39

But definitely like someone who

20:43

might always kind of live in the

20:43

other dimensions and the

20:47

Fantasyland and stuff. Super

20:47

excessive crown, I think kind of

20:51

blends in. You know, I'm not

20:51

really sure what to say about

20:55

super excessive crown, but not

20:55

that I can remember. But I think

20:59

You know, for

20:59

me, it's that it's very hard for

20:59

you can speak on that. me to focus sometimes. And I go

21:04

through phases of hyper focus,

21:09

and absolute no focus. And so I

21:09

have luckily for me, I work from

21:15

home, and I work for myself, in

21:15

a way as you know, I do contract

21:19

work. And I work my own

21:19

business. So it allows me to,

21:24

you know, really hyper focus for

21:24

a few hours and then take time

21:27

away. I felt very stifled by

21:27

normal corporate in the office

21:34

work, because I couldn't work in

21:34

the ways that I needed to. So

21:38

actually, this change up last

21:38

year has been amazing for me.

21:44

But even then, there's days where it's like, you know what, nothing's gonna get done this

21:46

afternoon. And then, and then

21:49

after supper, it's like, I am

21:49

tuned in from seven until 10

21:53

o'clock at night. I'm ready to

21:53

rock in. Yep. But I have to be

21:58

able to do that I have to be

21:58

able to be like, now's not the

22:00

time. This is not coming out of

22:00

my mind right now. Move on to

22:03

the next thing. Yep. And there's

22:03

other times where I get so

22:08

focused on research, and I could

22:08

research for hours I'll get lost

22:12

in doing research for nine

22:12

hours.

22:15

I wonder if you have some seven energy in your chart, like seven is the

22:17

10. Seven tends to be the

22:20

researcher and like the someone

22:20

who's gonna analyze something to

22:23

death, but it's also like a very

22:23

psychic energy to take some

22:27

very,

22:28

I'm a triple

22:28

Sagittarius.

22:30

Oh, okay.

22:30

Cool.

22:32

All right. So you both are Sag,

22:32

right?

22:36

We are.

22:38

Sag sun Leo rising

22:38

Libra moon.

22:40

Okay, okay,

22:40

I'm bringing all the earth

22:43

energy to this party, then.

22:44

Yeah. This would have

22:44

been fucking chaos. It wasn't

22:48

like the episodes where we don't

22:48

have people who can ground us

22:51

they go a little crazy, real quick,

22:54

gay and unhinged.

22:58

Actually, now that we're talking a little about openness, what happens when we

23:00

get when we balance them? Have

23:02

you ever like physically felt

23:02

balancing one of your chakras?

23:04

There's one time actually

23:04

Charmaine I texted you because I

23:06

was doing yoga and it was in

23:06

tree pose. And all sudden, they

23:09

felt like I got like,

23:09

psychically sucker punched,

23:12

like, in my like, hip region.

23:12

And I literally fell out of the

23:14

pose on the ground and just

23:14

started cackling. Because it's

23:17

like, I don't know what the hell

23:17

this was like. I was like, I

23:19

just literally was like, Sucker

23:19

Punch. And it wasn't like a

23:21

physical feeling either. But it

23:21

really like, now I'm fit now I

23:26

feel a little bit more like

23:26

grounded now. And I'm also on

23:28

the floor.

23:30

And we're

23:30

gonna set but there's isn't

23:32

there some sort of like bonda

23:32

with like the foot, like

23:35

connecting the leg? Isn't that

23:35

right? Charmaine? I believe.

23:38

Yes. Yeah. Because I remember

23:38

feeling. I remember her

23:42

actually, a couple years ago, I

23:42

think a very big memory of being

23:45

kind of hung over and went to a

23:45

yoga class. And I just felt like

23:48

drained all day, too. It was

23:48

like, I think it was like, I was

23:51

serving in restaurants a lot at

23:51

the time. So I was like, kind of

23:55

hungover really drained. And I

23:55

remember actually being in tree

23:58

pose it's like, the moment you

23:58

can literally feel your aura,

24:01

like coming back together. I was

24:01

like, Oh, that is literally what

24:05

that feels like. Because I feel

24:05

a million times better. So

24:08

opposite experience.

24:11

Well, I felt better

24:11

afterwards. It was just chaotic.

24:13

And I think that's the thing is because it was like tree pose, that balancing pose it really

24:15

allows you to like recenter

24:18

yourself and especially if

24:18

you're grounding into the ground

24:20

I was like, well, it's no wonder

24:20

that like the sacral energy

24:23

enter decided to wanted to

24:23

balance itself again. It just

24:25

took me off my ass. Those super

24:25

unbalanced.

24:29

Absolutely.

24:29

That little that little Hippo

24:32

had that little hip opening

24:32

action you had to maybe

24:37

could be. I find

24:37

that greatness in camel pose

24:41

myself.

24:42

Oh, yeah,

24:44

that sucker

24:44

opens me up and it's like, it's

24:47

like I could feel everything.

24:47

shoot straight through my

24:50

chakras.

24:51

Totally.

24:51

Totally. It's that that like,

24:53

because that's a pretty that's a

24:53

pretty hard like, like you're

24:56

it's like a super heart opening

24:56

one, isn't it, too?

24:58

Yeah, it is yeah.

25:00

You are literally exposed to the world in that one.

25:02

Yep. I'll take

25:02

it. I'm just showing showing off

25:05

showing my boobs, the universe

25:05

at that point. So,

25:09

give a little shimmy.

25:11

Exactly.

25:15

Yeah, so I, I

25:15

really like that word a lot. And

25:18

you know, the only thing I have

25:18

to say for my week of being

25:21

grounded is I fell out of bed on

25:21

Monday night and hit my head on

25:27

the window sill, which was a lot

25:27

of fun. It's okay, life goes on.

25:33

But I tell you at my, at my age,

25:33

it's been a long, long time

25:37

since I've fallen out of a bed.

25:37

And I was just like, What just

25:43

happened? And then of course,

25:43

part of me that sits there is

25:45

like, I was in bed, right? Like,

25:45

yeah, I wasn't sleepwalking. Or

25:52

like, Did someone just like slam

25:52

me on the floor? I get all you

25:56

know, woo in my head, like, holy

25:56

crap. Did spirit just come toss

26:00

my ass out of bed? What did I do?

26:03

Like, I'm always like, what I just abducted, like, what happened

26:04

just now. And I'm like, I

26:07

probably just fell out of bed.

26:07

But yeah, I'm definitely always

26:10

going to like that.

26:15

Yeah, it's, it

26:15

was very strange. So now, I was

26:19

told once that when you're

26:19

dealing with your heart chakra,

26:24

the opening of your heart chakra

26:24

is actually in your back. So we

26:32

almost like so the front of our

26:32

chest pushes the energy out from

26:37

our heart chakra. But we

26:37

actually take energy into our

26:39

heart chakra through the back

26:39

portion of our heart. And so

26:44

then, that meant that if someone

26:44

came up behind you and gave you

26:48

a hug, and it was their chest to

26:48

your back, they were actually

26:53

pushing more love into your

26:53

heart chakra. And I was like,

26:55

that's the sweetest thing. But I

26:55

don't know, sweet, but I don't

26:59

know if there's any real science

26:59

behind that.

27:03

I don't know.

27:03

I don't have the authority to

27:05

speak on that. That sounds hot.

27:05

I do like that. But

27:09

I am glad I wasn't the

27:09

only thinking that, I was like,

27:12

Huh. I like this.

27:15

Let's touch

27:15

heart chakras. Push your energy

27:18

inside of me.

27:20

I do feel

27:20

though, like, whenever I do

27:23

mediumship, I do tend to feel

27:23

like when I'm like really

27:27

blending with spirits, I do feel

27:27

them kind of coming in from

27:30

behind. I do kind of get that

27:30

feeling too. So but that's the

27:33

only way I can kind of speak on

27:33

that. So that's,

27:35

that's kind of all I can say on that as well. I do feel a lot in my back. When

27:37

I'm working with clients, and so

27:45

when I'm doing Reiki with

27:45

clients, that seems to be when

27:48

my channeling and mediumship

27:48

opens up, but I do feel a little

27:52

light in, in my back at that

27:52

time as well. Yeah, and

27:56

when kind of when I do

27:56

it, it's like the side, like my

27:59

side my back. Like, it's like

27:59

it's never from the front. Like

28:03

when I like when I when channel

28:03

my mom and things like it's

28:05

always from the back. And

28:05

there's always like, I can feel

28:07

their presence behind me and

28:07

they they're never coming direct

28:10

to me. And I'm like, I've always

28:10

wondered why that is maybe that

28:13

might tie into a little bit

28:13

maybe or maybe I don't know

28:15

maybe there's try to catch us

28:15

off guard like surprise bitches.

28:18

We're here.

28:21

No, I think

28:21

there is some I wish I had was

28:24

more of an expert on like, the

28:24

actual energy channels, but I do

28:28

feel like that receiving kind of

28:28

energy from from my back. So I

28:32

don't know what that is. But

28:34

I mean, it makes sense too, thinking about your classes and when we do um, so for people

28:36

who don't know, when we do the

28:40

grounding exercises, Alex's

28:40

classes we pull, we pull the

28:45

energy from sorcerer through our

28:45

crown, I actually no, not that I

28:48

was actually pulling it through

28:48

my soul chakra so I am a liar.

28:50

So I have to actually change

28:50

that a little bit. But anyway,

28:53

they it goes through your back

28:53

channel, and it goes exactly

28:56

where your ground is for your

28:56

back channel and it goes down.

28:58

So I mean, for me, it's making

28:58

sense at least in in my head.

29:01

It's making sense.

29:02

Yeah,

29:02

absolutely. No, I would, I would

29:05

totally agree with that. There's

29:05

something going on back there.

29:08

So I just know it that's always

29:08

worked for me. So.

29:12

So now going

29:12

back to the other side. While we

29:16

might feel off energetically if

29:16

we have a chakra that is running

29:24

high or running low. But did you

29:24

want to touch on and I can I

29:30

could definitely help in this

29:30

area to touch on some of the

29:33

physical symptoms. And again,

29:33

we're not doctors, folks, right?

29:36

We're just telling you the

29:36

information we've been given

29:40

through the wise people who have

29:40

taught us so that there are

29:44

actual physical symptoms to

29:44

having a depleted chakra. So

29:49

with the root chakra, I know it

29:49

can have to do I mean, again,

29:54

there's a lot of stuff that goes

29:54

on in the lower region with a

29:57

body so you've got you kidneys

29:57

and kidney stones. Any type of

30:01

constipation things that have to

30:01

do with with bowel movements yet

30:05

we just talked about it. We just

30:05

Alright folks, we're. Okay.

30:09

Well, yeah, I

30:09

mean like, right when when I

30:11

have you to ground when when we

30:11

do grounding exercises in class,

30:14

we're eliminating energy from

30:14

our flight from our space.

30:17

That's literally like I'm like,

30:17

yeah, that's poop like, I mean,

30:21

yeah, there is a there is always

30:21

like a physical component to

30:24

everything. But I, you know, I

30:24

would say circulation as well.

30:29

And that constipation digestion

30:29

can be second shock related to,

30:33

and often it's not just one

30:33

chakra, they're like, it's like

30:35

interrelated with something else

30:35

as well. But, so we kind of

30:39

covered that with route, there's

30:39

a lot of backing I think can can

30:42

go on with with with Root

30:42

Chakra, I would also say like,

30:47

um, like fear, it has a lot of

30:47

like, first chakra stuff, you

30:54

know, so like, and or it's like,

30:54

someone, let's say they're like,

30:58

it's like, compulsive

30:58

overeating, you know, to like,

31:00

feel like they have to really

31:00

get in their body into ground

31:03

that could be like Root Chakra

31:03

deficient, you know, it just can

31:05

kind of run the gamut. second

31:05

chakra, again, we kind of

31:11

touched on digestion, but also

31:11

like, addiction. Like if someone

31:16

has like a lot of like addiction

31:16

tendencies, I would probably

31:19

look, I think that can be a lot

31:19

of things too. But that can also

31:22

be like really like, that can be

31:22

second like second chakra, we

31:26

could say, second chakra excessive, it could be something with the heart as well, too,

31:28

could be something like love and

31:30

not getting love and your training.

31:33

And I know as a

31:33

cis female has a lot to do with

31:38

exactly that the womb space and

31:38

menstrual cycles, ovarian cysts,

31:44

there's all kinds of things that

31:44

can happen in that area with

31:48

that as well. I lived a lot of

31:48

that. It's kind of crazy how

31:57

much more balanced I am now that

31:57

I've had a hysterectomy.

32:01

Wow.

32:02

Yeah. It was

32:02

like night and day. Yeah. So um,

32:07

yeah.

32:09

No. Sorry, I keep Core

32:09

i would say like, because core I

32:20

associate fire and heat with

32:20

that chakra. A lot. Like ulcers?

32:26

Like a big one with that one.

32:29

Yeah, that's the

32:29

first thing I think of is, is,

32:35

well, not just ulcers, but I

32:35

automatically think heartburn,

32:39

like anything that has to do

32:39

with like an acid reflux I have

32:43

from the stomach that is, you

32:43

know, all solar plexus. And it's

32:50

good to have you have soothing

32:50

foods for your tummy before bed.

32:56

In heart, I

32:56

mean literally, it's like, the,

32:59

like the organs associated with that, like the heart and the breasts as well, too. You know,

33:01

so, I mean, that's like a very

33:04

kind of easy.

33:06

And I and I think because it is, you know, the heart is, you know, this

33:08

organ that you know, our blood

33:11

touches our entire body and it

33:11

really has to do with the immune

33:14

system as well. So there's a lot

33:14

of immune autoimmune

33:18

deficiencies and things like

33:18

that that can can pop up in that

33:22

region.

33:26

throat I mean,

33:26

literally anything involving

33:29

like, throat voice anything I

33:29

write. Oh, yeah, there we go. I

33:35

was like there is some gland

33:35

that I missing. Definitely.

33:39

Yeah, I writes a

33:39

big one. Yes, spit lies. You

33:44

know, like, karma will come back

33:44

and, and getcha with your

33:48

depleted throat chakra and weird

33:48

thyroid issues. Or if you hold

33:53

too much in like, that's the

33:53

other thing is sometimes people

33:56

don't realize that it's not just

33:56

like, say, for the throat

34:02

chakra, which is where we're at.

34:02

It's not just about using your

34:05

voice, but it's also the

34:05

feelings that you don't voice.

34:09

Mm. Oh, yeah. And you're holding

34:09

on to that energy, that unvoiced

34:13

energy that is tied into that.

34:19

Um, I've

34:19

always had like, tons of sinus

34:22

issues and stuff too. And I'm

34:22

like, Oh, very interesting. I'm

34:25

connected to third eye I'm still

34:25

not sure how it's connected. But

34:30

I I definitely and I have to say

34:30

to you like there is a direct

34:34

correlation with like, my like,

34:34

intuitive stuff opening up like

34:37

once I had sinus surgery,

34:37

frankly, because I just had

34:39

like, mucus like it's sorry,

34:39

this is disgusting. But like

34:43

mucus basically everywhere like

34:43

under that had to be kind of

34:47

pulled out. But, yeah, I just

34:47

think, you know, it's not my

34:52

sort of area of expertise. It's

34:52

like the physical part. But we

34:57

do my cohort actually. We talked

34:57

about that a lot in the workshop

35:02

that we did too. So I would say

35:02

check that out. That was

35:04

definitely her area of like,

35:04

here's what happens, like when

35:08

the chakra is not balanced.

35:10

So yeah, in the

35:10

crown, you know that, you know,

35:13

mental. Any type of mental

35:13

issues, sleeping disorders. Yep.

35:19

All of those things. And while

35:19

you know, that's just the tip of

35:22

the iceberg of things in could

35:22

be there. I think it's really

35:27

funny that we both had major

35:27

imbalances in certain areas, and

35:31

then had surgeries and then have

35:31

now had great balance and

35:36

relief.

35:37

Yeah, it was weird, because it was like, right, thinking back to it. It

35:39

was right before I started

35:43

taking psychic development

35:43

classes myself, you know, and I

35:45

think I'm sure it was always

35:45

there. But I haven't had nearly

35:49

the issues that I used to have,

35:49

just because that was I don't

35:52

know. And then I'll have people

35:52

tell me to like, there's

35:55

somebody in my life, it's always

35:55

like, oh, because I think it's

35:58

some like some Louise Hay book.

35:58

It's like sinus problems is like

36:01

you're irritated with people.

36:01

And I'm like, that is true, but

36:04

also, I think it's more I know,

36:04

I'm easily irritated. But I it

36:10

has to be more.

36:12

Another point to think about, we're all talking about this, like the interplay between

36:14

the different chakras, too,

36:17

because they don't exist in a

36:17

vacuum either. It's not like you

36:19

have this one symptom here. And

36:19

it just manifest here. I think.

36:22

Also, like I was thinking when you're talking about the ship when you thought that that that

36:24

that that that that that that

36:27

throat chakra like that whole

36:27

list thing of mine gets in the

36:29

way sometimes speaking of throat

36:29

um, but I'm thinking like that

36:33

throat chakra and the things

36:33

that are left unsaid I'm

36:35

wondering like, how could that

36:35

like impact like your sacral or

36:39

even your root and like those

36:39

feelings of instability and

36:42

insecurity within yourself like

36:42

that one not speaking here and

36:46

having that undeveloped leaves

36:46

the blockages in another one to

36:49

or vice versa like opening one

36:49

opens up others

36:53

we talked

36:53

about like soul partners in like

36:56

each chakra like having a

36:56

partner that's often connected

36:59

with like this the throat is

36:59

often connected with sacral you

37:03

know what I mean? Oh, well,

37:03

again, like exactly like Yes,

37:07

yeah, so like, like again like

37:07

not voicing your emotions right?

37:12

So there's I think it

37:15

Does it mean

37:15

it's better if you moan

37:21

I think so

37:21

just go for it. Just absolutely

37:24

be loud in the

37:24

bedroom. That's what that's what

37:26

I got right there.

37:27

Got it. Exactly. Screaming a rollercoaster scream while

37:29

you're having an orgasm. It's

37:31

all it's all.

37:35

Love it

37:38

Throat and Sacral are Connected. What are the other ones? Do you know them offhand?

37:42

I don't know them offhand. I don't remember

37:43

I will Google this because now I am curious.

37:46

I wish I could

37:46

remember that was again, like my

37:49

Miko words, but it was funded

37:49

like to talk about because they

37:53

are I remember like first and

37:53

fifth. I think third First, I

37:56

would assume like your route in

37:56

your core seems like very

38:00

intertwined. Like your core

38:00

being your competence, your

38:03

roofing, your security. You

38:03

know, like, if say, like you

38:07

were never, let's say in

38:07

childhood, because like the root

38:12

chakra has a lot to do. Like

38:12

each chakra system we talked

38:15

about in this workshop was like,

38:15

it kind of talked about each

38:18

stage of development. So like,

38:18

root chakra is like infant Baby,

38:22

you know what I mean? Like, did

38:22

you get your physical needs met?

38:25

Or were you like, you know,

38:25

like, where those needs not met?

38:29

Or like, do you kind of feel

38:29

unstable? So then it might mean

38:34

that like, you may not be able

38:34

to take as good it's good to

38:36

care of yourself later in life,

38:36

or maybe you overcompensate for

38:40

that. Second was like, kind of

38:40

like more like toddler like

38:44

feeling your way through the

38:44

world. You know, that was really

38:47

interesting. And then we talked

38:47

about like, throat being a great

38:50

school, like your connection

38:50

with your peers, you know, your

38:54

connection with other people.

38:54

So, no, that was Middle School.

38:59

grade school was was a heart

38:59

chakra, where it's just like,

39:03

your when you you know, we've

39:03

all probably had horrifying

39:06

experiences in middle school.

39:06

Elementary School was a little

39:12

bit easier. It's just like you're a little bit more open hearted elementary school. So

39:14

anyway,

39:16

that explains why I'm

39:16

a cold hearted bitch now. Okay.

39:19

Let me let me get back to that trauma.

39:21

elementary

39:21

school were more likely to raise

39:24

our hands and answer questions

39:24

and by middle school were like,

39:26

Don't look at me Don't call on

39:26

me. Don't talk to me.

39:29

Exactly. Like

39:29

I'd like gossiping. I want to

39:32

fit in like, I just don't like

39:32

Middle School being I feel like

39:36

it's universally worse than high

39:36

school. A lot of the time. Of

39:41

course, that's not for everyone.

39:41

But you know, and then High

39:44

School is like your third eye.

39:44

So it's like the when you kind

39:48

of start to become a no at all.

39:48

You think that you like no more

39:50

than the teacher.

39:52

And you're like

39:52

a sign. That's my 16 year old

39:55

right now. Yeah.

39:56

Oh, really?

39:56

Okay, fun. Yeah.

39:59

Thats Me at every

39:59

stage of life even now.

40:03

I feel like I've never grown out of that I'm just out all the time.

40:06

Extra extra extra

40:06

again I reiterate, I am extra

40:09

everywhere.

40:14

Oh my gosh.
