You are listening to a psychic story, a podcast that shares behind the scenes insights of people who lead supernatural lives among the ordinary. And I'm your host, Nicole Begley. Join me every other Wednesday as I dispel the myths behind magic and more welcome to a psychic story. Hi, psychic listeners. Thank you so much for joining for another episode of a psychic story. And for this episode, we
Speaker 2:Have Kelly. Kelly is an intuitive, she also practices chakra work and prep past life regression. And she's doing today to talk about her experiences with those modalities, but also EFT. And we'll hear about what EFT is about if you haven't heard about it before or experienced it. So welcome to the show, Kelly, Hey Nicole, thank you so much for having me. Of course, of course. I'm a pleasure to have you and really excited to just dive in and hear about your experiences and what brought you into this line of work. But also you mentioned when we were talking just a little bit ago about how you mix up the various modalities and the practices that you do to bring a very unique approach to EFT. So if you could just start us out, like how you, how you got into it, you know, it's funny I call EFT. Um, and for people that don't know that stands for emotional freedom technique, um, and it is, it's a really interesting technique because it really incorporates the mind and the body all at the same time. It really incorporates all the senses. And it's, to be honest with you, it looks a little bit strange when you first learn about it. I don't know if you've seen it, but it, you know, you're tapping on different body parts. And I found EFT actually first and I call it the gait medicine, because for me, I started out as a nurse and I was working at the bedside for 10 years and worked with labor and delivery nurse for eight years and did some GI nursing after that. But I found EFT because I was working as a nurse. I was working night shifts. Um, you know, even the labor and delivery can be fabulous and like the, you know, the most amazing moments in the world, it can also be kind of like working in the ER and you have no idea what's coming in the door and there, you know, you can be in some pretty traumatic experiences on a pretty regular basis. And, um, to be honest with you, I found EFT because I wasn't burned out like I was posts. And, um, even though I kind of had that mindset of positive and, you know, kind of push through and be the strong one and I could handle anything. And there's not a whole lot that tribals me. I really found myself in a place where even though my mind was telling me I was fine, I was a mess. And my body was really starting to show up to show me that that was true. And I was having, um, a lot of anxiety and I never had anxiety before. And I haven't having a lot of like physical aches. And, and I was in my twenties. I was like my late twenties, you know? And I even had doctors saying, well, you know, you just had babies and they're getting older, but like I knew, I'm like, I shouldn't be having tightness in my chest, my joints and my bones shouldn't be hurting. Um, I shouldn't be having IDs all the time. You know, after every time I ate, I had to run to the bathroom and it was like, my body was really screaming at me. And I, it really just led me down this path of recognizing that I, there was something really wrong. And intuitively I knew that it was something that could be like, something had happened to me and it could be undone. You know, I just knew that on a really basic level. And, um, after having one of like a, you know, a textbook surrender moment one night when I just was so burned out and tired and exhausted, and like I was snapping at my kids and my husband, who's an amazing human. And like, I could recognize that I wasn't really myself. I had a surrender moment where I laid in bed and cried and felt myself open up to the universe. And I was like, listen, I don't feel like I'm supposed to be doing exactly what I'm doing right now. And I am open to anything. Um, and it was a funny pathway of kind of like one thing led to another. And I saw Wayne Dyer on Ellen and then Wayne Dyer got me on, you know, I downloaded one of his, um, eBooks and that got me on a hay house list. And suddenly I was receiving emails through hay house about something called tapping or EFT. So that was kind of long-winded, but really, it was like the synchronistic events after I had that surrender moment and I was a broken, you know, feeling like a broken mess. And I remembered that promise to the universe that I would do anything. And I was like, okay, this is saying that this is going to help me with anxiety. And I was like, well, I don't really know anxious, you know, I'm fine. I'm fine. Um, but it did mention in one of the emails that it would help with like physical pain as well. And I was having a lot of eights and just like body shakes and, you know, just didn't quite feel right. So I will never forget, you know, when you do EFT or you're tapping on these different, acupoints the acupoints that they use acupuncture and you're, you're, you're tapping around your face and you're tapping on top of your head. And you're saying, you know, the things that, that cause you anxiety or bring stress to your life. And I remember sitting there, like in front of my computer and looking around and thinking, oh my gosh, like, this is a dope, I, I am a part of like the biggest hoax right now. And like I'm being recorded, I'm being recorded through my computer. I really thought it was like, you know, I was on that show pumps or candy cameras, something I really did. I was like, this cannot be real. You know, I had that, that very like nurse ego that it was like, I went to nursing school. If, if this was real, I wouldn't know about it like a class or was it, um, like, cause you mentioned you were recording on your laptop, so it was it just so you could see yourself. Yeah, no. So I was actually watching a YouTube video. Yeah. Yeah. So initially I started out because I was getting, I was getting emails from hay house for the tapping solution, which is really what opened me up to tapping. And so, you know, Nick Ortner was doing videos and I was watching one of his, I think that's how I heard about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They've done fantastic work, getting that out to the world. And um, I really credit the tapping solution and refer people to them all the time and like get the book, get their app. It's all amazing. And we'll get really good people started. Um, let's go on like doing the video and tapping on my body and I'm like, oh my God, this is so stupid. But I, I started out, you know, really feeling tense and achy. And after just like a couple of rounds, I could not deny that I had this really profound relaxation in my body. And I suddenly felt a sense of peace that I had not felt in a really long time. And it did two things like it instantly brought tears to my eyes because I felt hope. And that makes me want to cry right now because I think there's so many people that are out there struggling, especially with this year and the stress levels that have been astronomically high and are just desperate to feel better. And that was that moment for me, where I was like, oh my gosh, something actually made me feel better and I didn't have to take a pill and I didn't drink the glass of wine and I didn't have to go run three miles or, you know what I mean? It was like, wow, that felt so much better. So that was really my first, you know, opening to EFT. It brought me hope. And then the other thing it did is it like lit something inside of me that I just did not know was there. And I had to learn everything I could about it. It just, it brought so much hope to me. And the other thing that it did is it really lit a fire. It like found that full spark inside as lit me up. And it w I dove in, I just knew, like I have to learn everything I can about this technique. I learned, you know, I read everything I could, I listened to everything I could. Um, and about a year after I always say it was like tapping in the closet because even my husband, like, I think I mentioned that I was, you know, I was like, I'm trying this thing, but it, you know, uh, it just looked so strange and I, nobody had ever heard of it at that point. I mean, that was like 10 years ago and it's come a long way maybe 12 years ago, even, but nobody had heard of it. And I was still in that nursing mindset of like, this is so weird or there's no way there's any science behind this. But, um, at some point about a year after I was tapping in the closet, I went to my husband and I was like, Hey, I think I need to get certified in this. I need to, I need to take this farther. I feel like there's something I can do professionally with this. I don't know what it is, but I really feel like I should follow that path. Um, and ended up, you know, driving to Chicago was the closest I could find any trainings. And, um, just went from there. I've been traveling all over the country for the last 10 years, trying to learn absolutely everything I can about this. And I'm so fascinated with the technique and with that coming back to where we started, um, I've, you know, it was the gateway energy medicine for me, but, you know, from then I, you know, I've been training in chakra healing and past life regressions and something called matrix reimprinting, which is an advanced tapping technique. And, um, I really through the process has really opened up my intuitive gifts and that continues to unfold, which is really, really fun. Um, and now I just bring it all together and, you know, bring in whatever I need to at the moment and do something really, really cool, beat stress reduction, relaxation, but just do really, really deep, full integration. It's really fun. And now when you mentioned the, you brought tears to your eyes, I find that anything that really resonates with me on a deeper level, or it's speaking to my soul, that happens for me. And so that was definitely assigned for you, which is fantastic because it brought you to where you are today. And even before we were talking, I was doing a little bit of research because while I have experienced it very lightly, just a little bit, um, same thing with the tapping solution with hay house, I did see that, you know, EFT, there's been various studies and they say that, you know, their researchers are torn about how it happens. Some say that it's because they're just simply tapping your body and you're giving your body that human touch. And then others say that's the placebo effect, but they can't deny that it's releasing this like blocked energy, that's trapped in our body and it goes back to the trauma. And so I'm curious just to see, like what you, based on your 10, 12 years experience with it, where, what resonates with you or what do you think about it and why does it work? I think part of the power in EST is that it's kind of bolts in all of the above. You know, the research that's been coming out is very sound and very solid. And, um, even researchers at Harvard, Harvard have done studies where they, you know, they did sham acupoints. And I think that their studies weren't done with tapping per se, that they were actually done with, with the needles and stimulating them with needles. But, um, but there's very definite evidence that shows that there's something magical that happens at those acupoints. And they're still trying to figure out exactly what that is, but we can see that there, that the fear centers in the brain really dialed down when you stimulate those acupoints and brainwave regulate. And you can see that, that on SMRI that, you know, different areas of brain light up or shut down, there's definitely science emerging about the specific acupoint. Now, as far as touch goes, you know, we know that touch is part of one of our basic human needs, um, from that nurture. So I think that that adds into it as well. And then as far as the placebo effect goes, you know, I, when I'm teaching my classes, I always say, you know, absolutely everything has to do with the placebo effect because whether we know it or not, we have a belief about whether something will work or not. And, you know, you know, when you take an ibuprofen, um, like we know that an ibuprofen will, will help with pain, but it will absolutely help even more. If you have a belief that it will help you, uh, you know, you can't take the placebo effect out of the human, essentially because we have beliefs about whether they're conscious or not think it's going to work or not. But science does show that it's something far beyond placebo effect. And, you know, there's even studies that come out, you had a very grounded, very, very grounded, scientific side of things that show that, and this study has actually been repeated recently, so that's fine, but that it reduces in one hour VSP, it reduces cortisol levels by between 20 for either the original study, the average was 24%. Um, the study that they just recently did, it shows that it reduced cortisol levels by 42% in an hour. Um, and of course, cortisol is one of those stress hormones that, you know, we need a certain amount of it, but if we have too much of it, it, it creates inflammation and it tells our body to hold on to extra weight. So it can be, you know, part of that, um, people having difficulty losing weight to be an excess cortisol issue. So that is very grounded science. And they've also shown that this is fun, kind of on the newer epigenetic side of things that I think it was an hour of ESP shifted our epigenetic expression of 72 different themes. And so that was basically, you know, dialing down gene expression for things like inflammation and dialing up the gene expression for rest and digest and regeneration. So, um, they're seeing this and, you know, again, like seeing changes on MRI and, um, you know, there's research coming out as far as like cravings and weight loss and showing that EFT with a weight loss program will last over time where other programs are falling short. And so, you know, there is this very sound silence since science is coming out with it. Um, but to be honest with you, I, my mind loves the science, but I also, and like way into Wu land and I'm like, energetically, do you call it Wu land too? I like, oh, we will. I know. I like, it's like, I am all out there also. And I think that there's something really cool happening with our energy and pushing through those energetic blocks and, you know, karmically speaking, the, the foundational issues that like, we choose a body and we choose a life to work through that it, you know, on that epigenetic level and on that really deep, you know, energetic and DNA level that will really shifting something profound, too many questions. So for one, because to me, I feel like it's easy, right? I mean, you need to know kind of your pressure points. So my first question is why are you no more people not doing this? Why is it not as widely practiced? Um, cause you don't, even, as you mentioned, need to go and use needles with acupuncture or what have you, it's literally like yourself and just knowing where to tap. So I guess that's my first one. I think that the good news is, is that it is spreading rapidly. Whereas like before, you know, when I first learned this technique, I didn't know a single other person that had ever even heard of it. Whereas now I will meet people in passing and say, um, you know, I'm a transform myself, coach. I specialize in a technique called and, and they'll be like, oh yeah, I've heard of that. You know, I mean, not all the time, but I do feel like people are actually hearing about it now. So I think that's the good news. I think there's a couple of things walking. I think that one of the big things that's blocking us is that it does seem kind of strange. And, and I think that unfortunately enough of us have insecurity about looking weird or doing things that seem weird, that it actually holds people back just because it looks a little bit odd. So I think that's unfortunate, but I do think that holds some people back just cause it's like, you know, I'm tapping on my body and this just seems really weird. I think the other thing is is that it is something that is easy and people can do. And I think that there are powers that be that don't, I unfortunately don't really want the masses to know that they can take care of themselves and heal themselves in these ways. I think the same blocks show up even with like nutrition and, um, you know, supplements and things like that, that there are actually groups, large, powerful groups of people out there that that would rather us believe that we need to rely on pharmaceuticals or things like that to feel better. And, you know, it's unfortunate like things like, like a PDF there's world, renowned scientists, um, psychologists all over the world that have studied EFT that use it, you know, even a psychologist at Harvard. I think he's a professor at Harvard came out and wrote this really amazing letter to Wikipedia because we could pedia just won't post accurate information about EFT. And if people, as experts get in there and try to change it, they just change it right back. And, um, you know, all of these experts are writing and trying to change and tried for a long time and there's such a bias out there that they just won't no matter what evidence they give them, they just don't. So I think that that's the other, another really big issue is that there's this bias out there with things like, like a PDL and they're not the only one that no matter what information they are provided, they just won't share it. And I think that's really sad because like a CEDIA is like the first thing that pops up when people Google something. And so I think a lot of people Google it and see like a PDF that says there's, you know, there's no sound evidence behind us. And then they're like, oh, I knew it. And then they just move on. Unfortunately. So I think that's a really big problem. Um, and it's just not actually true. So it's frustrating and it's not true. So, you know, it's a big block and you mentioned, yeah, no, that's unfortunate. And I actually donated to Wikipedia. I think I was only one of 5% last year and they sent me a note and I was like, something told me not to, so now I know why I'm going to write back to them and say, update, you know, a LA you know, release a little bit of this criteria, which, um, you know, you're not taking the facts into account, but anyway, that's a whole nother conversation, but yeah, no, that's really good insight to have. And, and that was kind of my gut reaction to, as far as like the bigger, like big pharma, the pharmaceutical companies, there is a place for modern medicine in this world, but then at the same time, if there are simpler, um, easy things that are also free to people that you can do yourself, like why not? It's, there's no harm in it. Right. And especially in this, in this, um, you know, with this technique. So you also mentioned something that I find really interesting as well. And I'm, I do believe this I'm a firm believer is that we choose this lifetime. We choose this body to experience things, to help us grow in the next evolution or stage of our spiritual journey and growth. And so when you mentioned to that, can you talk a little bit more about how that is related to EFT or even with your work, you know, and, and studies and going into past life regression? Yeah, definitely. You know, the way that I normally start with clients, either they show up with, and they know exactly, they're like, I have this block, you know, no matter what I do, I can't manifest this or no matter what I do, I have this chronic pain and there's no physical thing. Or sometimes there are physical things that are causing it, but, you know, they'll show up with a specific thing that they know that they want to work on or they show up and say, you know, I don't really know, but I know I'm blocked. And what I find on either side is that when we start really doing the looking and investigating, um, the, the foundational issues of what we're here to work through are showing up no matter what, you know. So when you can start to use EFT to work on present day stresses, relationship issues, pain, you know, beliefs, blocks, abundance blocks, that kind of thing. If you can use EFT to start working on those and get some, you know, the thing that it does is it really makes the body feel very, very safe and it helps the mind feel calm. And as the body feels safe, our mind will start to open up to the older stories that are supporting that particular issue. And the farther back in time, we go in this life and the more work we do in the past on that past emotional wounding on those moments in time that really got stuck in the nervous system and in the body and created these energetic patterns. The deeper we go into that with ESC, the deeper the reset goes. But what I find is that those foundational issues with people are the ones, I mean the really deep ones, right? Where it's like people, no matter what they do, they can't, they can't get past it. Those are the places where I go, you know, that is something it's showing up right now in everyday life, but we've traced it all the way back. And if we really go back, as far as we can, we get this sense of like, I have had this since the day I was born and that's when they go, okay, let's start investigating. How is this actually in your DNA and through your, your genetics and your ancestral line and how might the C uh, a past life karmic thing that you actually chose the body and this experience to work through in this life. Um, when we've got, gosh, when we go back to those early places in this life and work on those emotional traumas, and then piggyback that with past life work, it's just, I mean, it's profound. These, just these energetic shifts that people can have so quickly. Um, the past life regressions. I actually, when I was really young with my sister, we're almost 10 years apart, we would read books and do that. Um, which I think is kind of fun looking back. Yeah. I think it's fun looking back on it because we obviously didn't know what we were doing, but because we were a lot more open being at that younger age, we really were able to go deep and that has allowed me and given me information nowadays, but honestly, I haven't had time to go into it as an adult or really explore it. So, um, I'm excited because I have added to my to-do list to go back into that a little bit more personally, but for people that haven't had a past life regression experience, what do you mean by that? And what could somebody experience like? And I know it's different for every single person, but if you could just maybe share something, yeah, definitely it is different and different practitioners do it differently as well. Now I combine past life work with, like I said, with the ESP. And so while we're getting into the space, there's an, I'll talk about that here in a second. Um, I have people tap the whole time and that sends a calming signal through the physical body and to the mind that kind of, even though we're going into these deep places in the past, it reminds us on some level that we're also here in the present moment. And so I think there's something that keeps us grounded while we're doing this past life regression. And ultimately the goal of ESP is to be able to think about something and feel physically safe at the same time. And of course, when we do a past life regression, what we're doing is we're going into really deep state of relaxation. Um, and I have people visualize and depending on how long I've worked with somebody, um, and just intuitively I will do it a little bit differently depending on the person. Um, but we, you know, we take some time to kind of relax the body. And then I always tell people we're going to use the imagination. And I actually heard you, the podcasts that I listened to you, I heard you talking about this imaginative space, but I tell people if you can allow that side of your brain and that side of your mind, that's creative and imaginative to just paint the picture. Your mind is going to show you exactly what you need to see. If you can just, you know, relax and let it show you and trust what you see the truth is whether past life is real or not. I mean, I absolutely believe that they are real, but for people that even feel a little bit hesitant or skeptical, your mind will show you what it wants to feel and what it wants to see. And it takes all the data of every experience that you've ever had and puts it into a picture because on that deepening level, we want to heal, right? So whether it's real or not, I tell people just trust the story that is being brought forward, because your mind is doing that for a reason. It's a way for your mind to work through whatever is going on. Yeah, absolutely. And I do absolutely believe that we get into past life spaces, but again, it's like, it doesn't matter to me because it will, it will paint a picture and take everything that it needs to, and put it into a story so that we can work with it and start to do that deep feeling. Um, so I, I had people imagine and they have them just kind of, you know, look around the space that they're seeing and get in tune with the energy and the space and ask them, you know, what other people they see have them look at their own body and see, what does that look like? Are you male or female and just get as many details about where they are. Um, and then from there, what makes my work a little bit different is that sometimes people will have you observed from a different, you know, from outside of your body and watch the scene and you can get a lot of information there. And it's not, I'm not saying that I never do that, but I really try to have people see in that body a little bit more because we've moved through in a way that's very, very safe with EFT so that we can actually work through the emotional trauma of it. And so the way that I do it is I, I have them give me part of the story, you know, what's been going on. Is there anything I'm here to help you? We step into that picture and just let them know that we're here to help them and ask them how they're feeling and what they're going through and kind of do I'm going all over the place, but like, kind of do both where like the, the person that you are steps into this scene and talks to this past life version of you. And then we also kind of move into that person and allow them to experience the emotions and tap at the same time. That's cool because it's almost like, um, a little bit of psychology too. Like if you have gone to a psychiatrist or a psychologist, or even just in general talk therapy, sometimes they're like, they ask you to picture, well, when you were a child and you're going back and you're thinking about those memories. And a lot of times like our memories are, you know, suppressed or all of that. And so, like you said, either way, if you're going back and your mind is kind of creating and painting this picture for you, or it was something that happened regardless of where that foundation is coming from, it allows you to work through those either memories or emotions, or what have you, because I do think two dreams kind of help us with that as well. And it's kind of like that, that same energy that we're all working through. But so a couple of questions on that too. Well, one, I'm going to ask you in a little bit, um, what some of your past labs work, cause I'm just curious and nosy, but before we get into that, what about DNA from the scientific standpoint is that because it's, it's literally the foundation of life here on earth. So when you mentioned like path lives and, oh my goodness, what is going on here? Wow. We're playing Jakey, literally, hold on. This has got to be, this has got to be our angels. What the heck? All of a sudden my Mac book just, I'm not even near it. And it just started playing, getting jiggy with it with will Smith. Anyway, that was bizarre because I was like, I haven't listened to him in years. So that must be your angels. Okay. Well, there you go. That's like, so, or where you were hitting on or we're, or we're hitting on some sort of truth, I guess I'm just, um, I don't even really know what my, my whole question is. Other than I feel like there's a connection between DNA and our past lives and just was hoping that you could kind of unpack that for me. Um, because I was just getting the download. I definitely do my best. Yeah. I will definitely do my best to do that. You know, it's something that I'm still like really doing a lot of research and trying to figure out myself, but, but one of the things drawing it back to trauma is that we know that on an epigenetic level, um, that our DNA expression is changed when we experienced trauma. So we know that by looking at people that are survivors of the Holocaust, and then looking at the generations that followed, and we know that there is an exponentially higher risk of the generations that follows these Holocaust survivors of having things like PTSD and anxiety disorders, um, and having, you know, mental health struggles that don't necessarily line up with their life experience. So on that level, you know, when we talk about DNA, a lot of times people think that we're actually changing the DNA. And I honestly am open to the idea that we, that we are changing the DNA, but what we're really doing is, is changing the expression of the DNA. Okay. That just gave me chills when you said that the expression of the DNA. Yeah. So, right. So like, rather than thinking about like, okay, we took that piece out and we put a new piece in thinking about it more like there's, you know, there's all these codes there and depending on the energy and then the environment, the codes and the DNA will be expressed differently, kind of like a mutation. Um, well, again, I'm, I'm open to that idea, but the way that I, the way that I understand it is at least at this point, is that there's something that happens energetically. And like, in our blueprint, when we experience trauma, that that puts us, puts us in a state of being on high alert and more locked into like a fight or flight or freeze state. So again, like thinking back with those Holocaust survivors, you know, that prolonged stress and the extreme trauma that they went through, just changed them on some level. And rather than it actually going in and changing their actual pieces of DNA, what it did was just change how that DNA was expressing, but because their DNA expression changed in that lifetime, then they pass on that DNA expression to their offspring. And that's, that's also kind of like what, what disease, like I'm always, and I'm also getting chills with this, like disease is dis-ease. So if you think too about how that expression of DNA, like maybe one life, you don't have cancer, another life, you do have cancer. That could be something where you still, to your point, like, I'm just trying to think of something somewhat tangible of what an expression would be like, and maybe an example. Yeah. And it's for anybody that's really interested in learning about that epigenetics Bruce Lipton and his book, the biology of bullies, and he saw YouTube videos. I mean, he will blow your mind. He is a cellular biologist that was involved with the human genome, like back in the day when they first started trying to pick apart DNA and the genes. And originally we thought that, okay, there's going to be a certain, you know, gene for every single protein in every single, every single molecule. And like everything that's created in the body is going to have its own special themes. And so they know I'm terrible. My brain does not remember statistics and numbers very well, but yeah, but they thought that they were going to find this like huge, you know, number of genes in our DNA, but what they, what they found afterwards is like, okay, there's a lot smaller number of genes, but what, what they're finding is that depending on the environment, um, you know, and a lot of that comes back to the energetic environment. The genes will actually express differently. So under a stressful environment, these genes will produce this protein and under a different environment, a different combination of genes will express a different protein, less about changing the strand of DNA and more about what's going on around it. So that, that DNA expresses. Um, and it's really fascinating. So Bruce Lipton is definitely something starting to check out for that. I definitely will end. I was just looking while you were talking, it said, um, humans have between 20,020 5,000 genes, but genes are so basically, um, genes are all the same in people, but the number of genes that are different is less than 1%. So there's a 1% difference, but a small number of genes, less than 1% of the total are slightly different between people. Wow. Wow. Wow. Yeah. And so I think that they thought that they were going to find, you know, between 102,000 different things. And when they only found 20,000, they were like, Ooh, there's something else going on here. Yeah. And the field of epigenetics is fascinating because they are finding that, you know, changing our internal state and changing our energetic state changes our DNA expression. Um, and that's where that like really interacted with healing comes in on a very, you know, physical, grounded level. I mean, and there's all this, you know, the things out in the universe that we don't totally understand yet as far as how that's happening, but yeah. Lots to learn. And, um, if you guys are interested in more about genes, we will share some things that you can read up about it. It just feel it's like crazy to me about the, like the DNA and the code. And there's also a correspondence between what, you know, our soul and our spirit are and how all of that works and that consciousness. Um, so that's cool to hear. So curious about what kind of past lives have you been able to go into regression and know for, yeah. Yeah. Oh man, I've done some fun ones on kind of just like a side note because it popped in as something like a fun little tidbit that I just learned yesterday. I had a phenomenal psychic reading yesterday from a gal in LA and she told me that one of my guys is actually Florence Nightingale. She said, yeah. So I was like, that's kind of fun, but, um, felt relevant for some reason to share. But yeah, so I have had multiple paths lags as healers and, um, intuitive. And one of them that really stands out was kind of in, you know, somewhere in Europe, medieval times. And I was, you know, for lack of a better term, I was a healer. I was a witch type, you know, and kind of a classic story of, you know, healing people with herbs and laying hands and doing energy work and not really totally understanding what I was doing, but, um, the wrong people catching them divot and, you know, of course dying persecution because, um, people misconstrue that into being some sort of state tannic, which, and that kind of thing. Um, another past life that actually is so much a few different times because it must've been really, really profound. Um, but I was in the middle east somewhere and I was a man. Um, and I don't know the exact time, but when I connect with it's like thousands of years old. And when I look at this gentleman, he has on, you know, like really simple light brown kind of thin, um, that cotton that almost like a muslin type of garb and sandals. And in that way, I was some sort of ride, um, and was, was doing some sort of writing as far as religious teachings. So I don't know exactly the details on that, but apparently I was writing things that the, the powers that be, did not agree with and kind of gathered a following of people and was basically, you know, my threatens to death and ended up having to leave this town and, and had all these followers follow me, follow me out of this place in the middle east. And we ended up somewhere in the mountains, um, and the snow. And I think this past life was significant in a lot of different ways. And like I said, this has come up a few different times to do healing on. Um, but these followers ended up, most of them ended up perishing in the mountains as well as myself. So I think, you know, as I am teaching and expanding my intuitive gifts and learning about all of this, you could see how that would be significant as far as like past like fears that might come up, um, you know, having people follow your lead and not working out well. Um, you know, I had a wound around my throat chakra in that pathway where someone had cut my throat and I lived through it, but I had, I had a wound there that was healing and, um, you know, micro Shakur has always been something I've had to work and civilly on in this life. So, yeah, that was an interesting one. Well, no wonder then too, you were, you were worried about, um, how weird it looked just for, for tapping. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Definitely. You know, I mean, that's a simple kind of ex you know, example, but just where that judgment in the past has kind of followed you through and hopefully you're able to work through that. Definitely I've had pain, uh, past lives in ancient Egypt as well. And pretty much all of them on some sort of like intuitive on some level, whether it's outwardly or, you know, on some level inside, I know that I'm intuitive and I'm helping people, but sometimes it's more of like my outward job and sometimes it's more secret. And do you think that nowadays, um, cause you mentioned like EFT and some of these other modalities weren't necessarily as common and they have felt a bigger resurgence in people not only being open, but wanting to learn more about it. Do you think that it's the time for the light workers to become more out in the open or what's kind of driving that in your mind? Oh, I definitely do. I think that, I think it's been building for a while. I think that we really are at this unique point in history where things are changing and I think we can all feel it. And a lot of people are waking up, um, inside and to their higher self and city universe and, you know, getting that deeper connection, even if they thought they were opened before. And I think that this, like the light workers has really been building for the last, I mean, from what I would guess, you know, for a long time, but really over the last five or 10 years, I think that it, maybe it's just my experience, but it just seems like there's a lot of people that have been doing that deep in our work and are now having that recognition like, wow, okay. At least for me, I was like, everything makes sense now, you know, like I understand so much of my path because now everyone is experiencing stress and even people that didn't have to really like look at it and focus on it before I'm really being faced with enormous amounts of stress, enormous amounts of fear and uncertainty, and whether we all realize it or not, we're all being re-triggered into our old trauma because of 2020 and everything that's happened. So, um, yeah, I think that the light workers are really being called forward. I think that there's an openness from people because they're really desperate to feel better right now. I do have this sense and I do feel like somehow this pandemic is, is going to expose a lot of the faults with the Western medicine and I'm with you. I think that there's a place for it. And you know, medicine saves lives sometimes and surgery saves lives and it's not that it's all bad, but big pharma is definitely has taken a good thing and run with it in a direction is not good for the general population. Yes. Like turn it into a big business and agreed. And I do see that some of that is getting exposed pretty rapidly. And my hope is that that, you know, at least the part of it that isn't for our highest good is going to crumble. You know, that's my hope and prayer because there's too many people stuck in that web. Um, and that don't even know at all. I think, you know, I'm not sure if I answered your question, but yeah, I do think that the white workers are being called. No, no you did. Yeah, no. I just feel like that we've been building up and we, unfortunately, which whichever way you look at it, what I've been feeling is that this isn't necessarily, we haven't hit the precipice of it or the culmination of everything. But for me, I went through a lot of really dark times, a couple years before this happened. And I think it was my angels way of, and guides and my higher self preparing me for this year because I felt really calm throughout it, actually unlike some other people. And I think it's because sometimes you hold that energy for others. And so maybe I was going through my own mini crisis before this, you know, so that then I'm in a better place, um, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. But I do think that also it's, it's a time where if you haven't had a chance to focus and look inward and build yourself and grow from whatever you're trying to work on, that this was one of those situations that is forcing us to do that. It's kind of like if you know that you're in a terrible job and you don't want to move on. And so then finally it's like, okay, well, they lay off people because of, you know, the economy or something of that nature. And it's like, it's almost like your angels and God's way of, um, making it happen for you. And I think this is one of those that the earth needed and mass awareness needed to happen on a reset level until we kind of embrace that a little bit and know that it's not bad not to be in that fear based that good can come of this, then we're still going to be kind of repeating some things. And it makes me sad and looking at just the news and how people are reacting out of that fear base and just being nasty to one another. And just remembering that when you're home now with yourself and your loved ones, that if you're not going to do it now during this pandemic and the time where you have to really evaluate where you want to go, then you may not do it. Right. So just take the, take this as an opportunity to kind of learn and grow. You absolutely answered my question. And before we break, how can people find you? Where would you like people to reach out to get more information or to contact you? Yeah, definitely. Definitely. Um, I have a website it's Kelly, how coaching.com and people can go there for more information on ESP and resources. Um, I do have some upcoming projects, you know, some DIY EFT and just kind of appealing DIY online, uh, courses that I'm putting together. I, I mean, fortunately and unfortunately, and kind of at a place where I'm going to have to figure out how to work with people in a different way and not, I mean, I'm still working with clients one-on-one, but the state of the world right now, I can't get everybody in to my office or get them on zoom. So, so yeah, I'm trying to figure out right now how to do that. Um, so more people at the same time. So I would say keep an eye on my Facebook page, which is also Kelly, how coaching and Instagram is the same for upcoming events. And we do, um, I know you spoke with Brittany buff author prior to today. Um, and she and I, and another woman, Chantelle Renee have an event called the energy enlightenment tour. And you can find that on Facebook as well, energy enlightenment, tour.com and on Facebook. And I will keep an eye there too, because we do a phenomenal event. She's a psychic medium, and Chantelle is a spiritual author. And the three of us come together and do a one and sometimes a two day event to help seekers kind of go a little bit deeper with their inner knowing, connecting with their higher self connecting with their intuition. And, um, it is really fun. It's, it's kind of a combination of education and healing. And the three of us I think are actually really fun to be around. And it's a, it's a fun event. So have we definitely recommend people check that out and come to one of the events, you know, obviously with that, with the pandemic, we've had to really slow down our schedule, but we do have an event coming up. Yeah. I know. It's like this. It's like, where did this year ago? It just flew by and Brittany some town in Hannibal, um, next month. Yeah, it is October. So in November. Yeah. I kind of struggle with time anyway and keeping track of the time. And this year has really done a doozy on my, um, time tracking because to me it still feels like it's June. Well, very confused. Yeah. That's true. That's true. Well, so before we actually officially break, I just want to let everyone know I'm that's Kelly K E L L Y H O w E coaching.com. And of course we'll include on our show notes. And I was just wondering before we actually like close out, do you mind maybe taking us through, um, either some breath work or some tapping just so that everyone can end the episode in a good place? Yeah. Yeah. I would love that and I wanted to add something really because it just popped in and like, I feel like I need to say it, um, because I'm sure that your, your show has a variety of listeners, you know, wherever they are in their personal development path and in their soul's journey that I, I find that sometimes people that have found a spiritual path for awhile will look at ESP and kind of, um, discounted or poopoo it because it seems a little bit basic. And the odd thing that goes against our intuition sometimes is that with ESC actually waste what our real problem is. And so, you know, if we've been doing personal development work, it feels really yucky to like say the negative and to voice the problem. And it feels like we're going to put that out into the universe and manifest. So I guess this is my calling to all speakers, like not discount it right away, because there is magic in the process of tapping at the same time while you voiced your problem. And it really truly gets into where this is stored on such a deep subconscious level and even down to the nervous system, that physical level. And, um, I just find that sometimes speakers that have been doing this for a while, but sometimes so, oh, no, I don't need that. And in truth, sometimes they're the ones that have these really sticky set problems that have been there for a lifetime. And sometimes adding, tapping to the work that they're already doing, whether that's breath work or, you know, whatever they're already doing with their spiritual work is adding a little bit of tapping in, does that grounding and resetting of the nervous system that will integrate that so much faster. So I felt really called to say that because, um, I do see that sometimes. Yeah, I do see that sometimes people will kind of go, oh, I don't need that. Yeah. I mean, there's, there's the different levels like you mentioned. And the beautiful thing is, is that even though, as we both had said, it seems simple and it seems basic. It really is the foundation. It's like, you wouldn't build a house without the foundation to build the house on. And it'll probably allows you to dig in a little deeper and then determine what else your next step should be. If you need to go get a massage acupuncture or go to someone who's a medium, um, half-life aggression, whatever it is, it gives you that foundational kind of like almost like a pointing, you helping point you in the right direction of where you need to go to work on those deeper issues. Definitely. And you know, one of the things I like to tell people is that, you know, God created us to have an autonomic nervous system that can override the mind when it feels like it needs to for safety. So it's the same reason that we can't tell ourselves to stop reading and we'll work for a little while and we can like consciously say, okay, I'm not going to breathe. But eventually that automatic system will kick in. And especially for things that are foundational issues and like past like phobias and things that got brought into this life really on such an autonomic nervous system level. So it's like when you get into that kind of body space, we're actually designed to not be able to override it with our thoughts and our conscious mind. And ESC really speaks to that, to that nervous system level. And, you know, while you're tapping, you're actually telling that autonomic nervous system that is safe and that it gives, it gives your brain kind of space to relax and rewire into it in new states. So, yeah, it's amazing. Okay. Yeah. What do we, what do we want to do? Yeah. Let's just go a little bit of tapping. Um, yeah, we'll just, you know, since everybody's got a little bit of stress on their plate right now, I think we'll just do like a very basic round of tapping. And what I always have people do first is really just close their eyes and tune into their physical body, into their energy and into how their mind feels and just really notice what feels tight, what feels heavy if their heart is beating a little bit faster, there's constriction in the chest feels like the mind is kind of swirling and just really take note of that. And you can even give it a number zero to 10 on how intense or how uncomfortable that is. And for everybody who want you to just tap on the side of the hand. So on the pinky side of the hand, reach around with one hand. So we're where you would kind of like something that the people side of your hand, you can reach around with the other hand and with your fingertips. You just lightly tap on the side of your hand there. And just as a reminder, that every time you tap your body, senses it, your mind senses it as a very calming, soothing, rhythmic pattern that tells everything that you're safe and you're okay. And I want for now there's other tapping points and people can go to my website and I'll get that or look up the tapping solutions to the other tapping points. But for now, I just want other to just tap on the side of their hands and tune into their physical body. And when we work on the tapping, we, we really state the problem. So for right now, we'll just call it stress. And the basic processes does this say and notice, you know, even though I have the stress and to follow it with some sort of affirmation or some sort of recognition and say something white, I'm going to be okay. I accept myself anyway. I love and accept myself or even just something white, even though I have this stress I'm working through it or I'm noticing it. And so I'm going to say something and wherever you are[inaudible], but I want you to just tap on the side of your hand there and just feel that nice red make touch there. And just repeat after me, we'll just say, and I'll have you just kind of near back to me as I say there. So even though I have this stress, even though I'm working through it, I'm working through it and we'll just keep repeating that. And the real process, we would start to tap through other points that right now we'll just stay on the side of the hand, even though there's so much stress, even though there's so much stress and I can really notice it in my body and I can really notice it in my body right here in this moment, right here in this moment, unsafe, tapping on the side of the hand, even though I have all this stress, just repeat after me, even though I have this stress, even though I have this stress, I give my body permission to relax. I give my body permission to relax. Okay. And then if everybody would just reset to the top of the head, right in the center of the head is their fingertips. Might we tap? Is this say a short version? So we'll just say this dress and then on the inside of the eyebrow. So it's actually a little bit over from that third eye point. The third eye point is a wonderful one for trauma. So it's okay if you want to use that one, but there's actually a point on the very start of our eyebrows of bladder point in Chinese medicine, which is an emotional containment point. So this is really important if you've been consuming or holding onto the emotion, just lightly tap there. And just repeat after me all this stress, all this stress, and then go see outside of the eye and a little bit in front of the temple and kind of right at that outer eye on that bone there. And we'll just say all this stress, all this stress who I just felt like something like something like click there. Oh, wow. Kind of like, right. So then the next point is under the eye. So that's on the cheekbone and about, you know, an inch and a half an inch below the pupil there. And this is a phenomenal point for fear. I find that this one, I mean, if you're, if you're in a state where you're feeling afraid, this is a great point. This is a stomach Meridian point in Chinese medicine, um, known to carry a lot of fears. So that's a great one. Let's just say all this stuff, all this stress, then the next point is under the nose and above the upper lip. It's the large intestine point. This is a wonderful point. If you're trying to release or let something go all this stuff. And if there's a point that feels particularly make you feel something moves, you're welcome to stay on that a little bit longer. Like this one, I just felt my body relax a little bit more with, and that one tends to be a go-to for me. If I feel tension, then we'll go on the chin point, which is between the chin and the lower lip, right in that crease, there, all this stress. And people can even add into that, that shortened statement. You could say, you know, there's this tension in my chest or this tightness in my chest. If you wanted to kind of call out the physical point, sometimes that will help direct the focus and the energy and help with the release. Just whatever that physical tension is for you. That's great. And when you start it, and you mentioned a scale of one to 10, um, you, you rate how you're feeling, um, with, is it 10 being the most and then one being the lowest? Uh, yeah. I'm glad you brought that up. Yes. Pending the most and zero being, and that's the only a zero. Okay. And then you do that in the beginning, and then you also do it again after the tapping so that you have a baseline to kind of compare yourself, um, and how you're feeling. Right. Definitely. Definitely. And you can do it on, um, you can do it on a physical standpoint. Like my pain is at a 10 or my discomfort or is it a six and you can also do it with, okay. I'm feeling really afraid right now, as I'm having this thought, that's a 10 and then how afraid do I feel afterwards? We can do it with both because there is a cognitive shift that happens as we tap and voice the different emotions that we're feeling. And people will say to me like, oh my gosh, I was attending before and eat sometimes even just after a couple of rounds of tapping or like, I don't even know why that was a big deal. I don't feel afraid at all. So particularly around fear. Yeah. I mean, it doesn't always happen that fast for sure, but it can. And I also saw that when I was originally doing my very late exploration of EFT a couple of years ago, is that you can make sure that, um, like if you one round doesn't work, then you can continue to do it until that number slowly decreases or until you feel like you've tapped into something and released it. Definitely. Definitely. Yeah. Repetition is key. Um, you know, the older, the problem, the bigger, the problem, those full foundational issues are going to be a little more sticky. Usually, you know, not always I've had people have past life phobias that I've seen fall away very, very quickly what's happening because it does really calm down to your centers in the brain and people feel it very quickly, but yeah, I'm glad you brought that up because it's, it can work really quickly, but persistence, you know, the more you do it, the more likely it is to work as well. So if, you know, if you try tapping, it's important to know also that if you try it on your own and you don't necessarily feel anything drastic, it doesn't necessarily mean that the techniques don't work for you. It just might mean that you either need somebody to kind of take an outside, look and help you on the way, um, and help you on that deeper journey. Or there might just be a different slant to the tapping that you need to take. Right? There's like a million different advanced techniques that we can use to get into that deep subconscious place. It just might be a little bit more of a Southern block that maybe we need to do a little more investigating. Um, and we always say with tapping, the more specific you get on something. So a specific thought and repeating that thought over and over and over again, um, a specific memory, a specific moment in time. Like when I'm in a workshop, I say, choose something, that's annoying something that's annoying you. And, and I will say like, get really specific, like something like the noise that somebody makes when they chew. That's a specific thing to focus on. But I would say you can't pick a person. You can't pick an annoying person because that person is recognized is like literally bringing up everything in your shadow that needs to be worked on, you know, like, like they're mirroring everything that needs to be brought to light inside of you. So that's a bigger thing. You can't pick a whole person based specific on the physical or the emotional yeah. Like one specific thing that that annoying person does. Right. Um, they always talk over me. Okay. A specific time that that happened. We're going to, we're always talking over you and then you start to work through the process on that. Um, and that's where you'll get might be very big reflux pretty quickly. Oh my gosh.
