Opening up our major financial statement reports like we do every time. The reports are on the left hand side. We're in the favorites. We're going to be right clicking on the balance sheet and open link in new tab, right click on the profit and loss. This is our point of focus this time. The profit and loss otherwise known as the income statement sometimes abbreviated as the P and L right clicking on it open link in a new tab. Let's go to that middle tab. We just opened close up the hamburger. There is our balance sheet. Let's change the range up top. So we're rolling back the clock<PHONE_NUMBER>23 and run it rolling back the clock. The wrinkles have just faded away. Tab into the right. We're going to close up the hamburger, scroll back up and we're going to roll back the clock again. 010123 tab 123123 tab. Run it to refresh it. There is our profit and loss otherwise known as the income statement sometimes abbreviated as the prop as the P and L. Now in prior sections we took a look at the balance sheet, the balance sheet being the other primary financial statement report. These are the two big ones, the balance sheet and the profit and loss or income statement most other reports being more information given on one or multiple line items of these two major financial statement reports. The profit and loss can kind of be thought of as part of the balance sheet in a sense, part of like the equity section of the balance sheet. What do I mean by that? Let's go on over to the balance sheet before we jump into the profit and loss one more time. Close up the triangles. There's our accounting equation, assets equal liabilities plus equity. That's the whole double entry accounting system right there which can be represented in debit and credit format or accounting equation format as it is here. You might be asking well there's more account categories that aren't included in here namely the income statement account categories of income and expense or revenue and expense. Where are those? How do they fit into the accounting equation if this is the entire double entry accounting system in terms of an equation? Well they're basically the income statement is part of equity because this formula represents where we stand at a point in time what the company has assets and who has claimed to those assets either third party, liability, bank, the bank oftentimes, or the owner equity which would be the shareholders if a corporation, partners if a partnership, the sole proprietorship, the owner if it's a single owner. The statement that we want to look at this time is a timing statement. This shows where we stand as a point in time and the reason we can think about that is kind of like part of the equity section is indicated by QuickBooks here that this net income is not really an account. You won't find it on the chart of accounts. It's QuickBooks basically putting the net income into the balance sheet so you can kind of see where it comes from. So in other words the total equity of the balance sheet here which is actually negative right now which isn't good but the equity is what the owner has claimed to over the business as opposed to third party liabilities having claim like the bank having claim and then the questions well how do we get to this number in the equity section as we generate our bookkeeping well you can think of it as the income statement over time meaning we have revenue minus expenses that are then rolling into the equity section basically of the balance sheet. So the income statement is kind of part of the equity section in other words this net income is representing the entire income statement for the prior year in one lump sum number if I was to change the date one date up it'll roll into net income. Let me show you that if we bring this up to the next day then that amount rolled into the retained earnings. Did I say net income? Net income rolled into retained earnings. So basically the retained earnings then is all of the income from the income statements that have been rolled into the balance sheet which have not yet been distributed to the owners in the form of if a sole proprietorship draws meaning the owner hasn't taken them out yet or if it were a corporation in the form of dividend dividend distributions. So that's how it's linked to the balance sheet. So the balance sheet is where we stand as a point in time but this equity section we want more detail about it we want to know about the earning power of the business because that's the point of the business that's what it's here to do it's here to generate revenue that's why we have it people that's why we have it and it looks like it's not doing a great job because we've got negative equity right now so let's get on the ball let's improve let's make some improvements here because this isn't working out but in any case let's go to then the profit and loss this is the is the profit and lost and so what are the categories of the profit and loss well at its most basic level which you might call a single step income statement it would simply be income and expenses let's pull up a trusty calculator here so you just got increases and decreases income and expenses are the major major categories that we have so we've got the 10 277 minus now cost of goods sold is another subcategory along the way and that's when we go from a single step income statement which would have just two line atoms income minus expenses to a multi-step income statement which means which basically is just the fact that we want more categories of expenses usually maybe some more categories of income too if we had returns and allowances and whatnot but of expenses for sure and if we sell inventory because inventory is so important to a business that solely sells inventory if we were a retail store and all we sell is inventory what's going to be our biggest cost the stuff that we sell the thing that how much we purchase the stuff for is going to be a big cost that's why we give it its own area here we also have to track the inventory some way using some kind of inventory flow assumption usually first in first out last in first out weighted average specific identification or something like that so if I subtract this out 405 that gives us a subtotal of gross profit gross profits only going to be there if you have inventory because only if you have inventory will there be cost of goods sold and then we have the other expenses now all of the other expenses are just going to be these line items in other expenses and if I subtract that out we get to 5203.31 that gives us to the 459246 that's the net operating income so you can see this is basically the bottom line before we get to the other stuff down here and to get to that bottom line it's just going to be pit stops along the way right it's just going to be things that are chopping away at the income the income is what we earned what we have what we have generated the revenue we've generated and then everything else is an expense generally decreasing chopping away at that income and that's going to be the cost to get sold the other expenses now down here then we have another category of you could have other income and other expenses down below why do we have those things well it could be the case that you have some income that you don't think is part of your normal business operations so if you have like dividend income or interest income because you have some investments for example but I'm a landscaping company I'm not in the business of generating interest and dividend income you might want to put it down underneath so that you could say yeah I have this income but I don't really want to count that income as my top line income number because I don't want to count it in my projections going forward due to the fact that I'm only holding on to that money that is generating interest and dividends for a short time because possibly I'm going to buy some equipment with it and shortly in the future so I don't want to really budget on that revenue being there but I still need to record it so I might put it underneath down below similarly for expenses you might have some expenses that you don't expect to happen again right it was just some weird thing some crazy person sued you because you know they stubbed their toe on your on a rake that you that they took out of your truck and they hit their toe with it and they stubbed it because they stole your rake and then hit their toe with it and then they sued you and so you had to pay him money and so like that hopefully that's not going to happen again so maybe that's just like an unusual thing that you put down here and say you know you lock the rake you don't just keep them in your truck you lock it down so people can't physically take the rake out of your truck and hit their toe with it so they can sue you so if you do so so then you might want to put that down here because you've solved that problem and you don't expect it to be repeating in the future and then you make your projections on the net operating income portion of the income statement all right let's expand these things one at a time before i do though just note that the profit and loss up top you can see that it's a time frame report because it goes you have a time range up top so you'll recall that both the balance sheet and the income statement have these ranges up top but when i change the range on the balance sheet just to remember this there's no change in the numbers right because this is still going to be as of December 31st so if i change this beginning date to 11 01 2 3 now there's only a couple months but it still didn't change anything what's the point of having two date ranges up top on a balance sheet when it only has one point in time report one reason is that you can drill down on the data to go into the transaction detail which is now a timing report meaning you do need the beginning and ending date because that will limit the amount of data you have in essence this gl type report the transaction report another reason is that you can use the range up top to get these custom reports sometimes with these comparative reports that we looked at in a prior presentation otherwise though you would only have one date up here because that's what's actually on the report the beginning date doesn't impact a normal balance sheet because it's as of a point in time but if i go on over to the profit and loss and the income statement this range is important if i change this range in a similar fashion changing it to 11 01 2 3 then you could see there's a significant impact on the numbers down below as you can see so that's the first thing we want to know whenever you look at a report any report you want to think is this report reporting something as of a point in time or is it reporting performance over a time range because that will have an impact on how the report acts if you're trying to customize it or anything like that so let's go back on over to 01 01 2 3 run it to refresh it close up all the little triangles again and just take a look at these expanding one at a time we'll go into the income statement now i mean the income line items income also sometimes called revenue so these are two terms you could you could use for the same thing it depends on you know who you're talking with in terms of whether they're normally going to call it revenue or income some people will also call the income line item sales which is often a term used when you're selling like inventory because sales if you're selling like bookkeeping you might call it income or revenue right it would be the general concept usually now normally with the income statement on income you don't usually have a lot of different income accounts why because you only do one or two things that's the point of the business you're specializing in a certain thing whatever that thing is that's what you're getting the income from you want to avoid the tendency of making income accounts based on who you who you sold the stuff to in other words some people have an urge to want to say this is income from customer number one this is income from customer number two and so on and so forth but if you do that once you have a lot of customers you're going to have a very long income statement so you don't typically want to do that what do we do instead if we want to run a report by customer then we can run a different report i can go to this first tab over here and i can go down to my reports on the left and i can i can run sales by i'm already in the reports what am i doing who owes you i got sales down here i have income by customer summary right so i can run that one if i wanted to boom open link in a new tab and then i can change i can say this is going to be oh one oh one two three twelve three one two three run it and so here's our income line comes out to 10 to 80 and it's not exactly this income line i don't think 10 200 but it's close why isn't it exact because quickbooks does not restrict you from saying quickbooks doesn't say hey you cannot report anything to an income type account unless you assign a customer it doesn't force you to do that it does generally a force you to do that when you go to accounts receivable that's why the accounts receivable for anybody's bookkeeping almost always ties out to the sub ledger because quickbooks forces that to be the case but if you always use the the forms up top of invoices and sales receipts and include customers when you make sales it should tie out the things should tie out and you can then run that second report if you want more detail of income by customer therefore we don't want to add income accounts by customer we don't want to say this is customer one income and so on so that's the general rule is there an exception to that rule there is because what if you are using something other than an invoice in a sales receipt and you're using bank deposits for example this is the case of that gig worker case maybe you get paid by youtube maybe you get paid by whatever other platforms are out there you get you're getting gig work of some kind platform number one plat they just send you the stuff you've used a bank account the bank deposit to record it well it's because you're not using an invoice you're not going to be be able to assign the customer in the same way and you won't be able to generate the report by customer and therefore you might just want to record income by platform this is youtube income which is basically your customer right although the customer might anyways you say it's youtube income it's the other platform uh income and so on and so forth so that's kind of the exception now you also have people that have a tendency and and urge to try to make a separate income account for everything that they sell this is inventory item number one income inventory item number two income and so on and so forth you you might want to do a little bit of that as you can see here this one's a little bit strange because it's a job cost system but you don't want to go overboard with that either because if you sell different inventory items you're going to have you're going to have a whole long list of different inventory items it's going to be tedious to attract to to map out your income account to the proper accounts and whatnot it's going to be too much detail what can you do instead there should be another report for it right because if you sell inventory items properly then in your reports you should be able to have sales by sales by product service detail right so I can right click on that and open that and say this is the report from 0 1 0 1 2 3 12 3 1 2 3 and this will give you that further detail uh that you want right so this is the stuff that you sold by invoice and sales receipts notice there's no deposit forms on it because that's not the form typically QuickBooks wants to be using to be selling stuff but that comes out to 10 280 doesn't tie out exactly over here because once again you could post things to income that are not done or assigned to a customer or item QuickBooks doesn't restrict that but if you only use the sales receipts and invoices to report income they should tie out so that's the general rule on the income side again there's usually a lot less income accounts and if you have it set up properly if you're not doing something funny then you shouldn't have too many income accounts and it should be pretty easy to manage the income side of things generally so I mean obviously there's issues with with how you're going to collect payments and that kind of stuff but I'm just saying the actual reporting which account should you report to should be fairly straightforward once you have the system down then you've got the cost of goods sold so the cost of goods sold is a subcategory related to inventory this one looks strange because you're like it's not that large of an amount compared to the income and but that's because it's a landscaping company instead of like if it was a a retail store where they buy inventory and mark it up or if it's some kind of job cost system where they buy raw materials they make it into a finished product and then they sell it then the cost of goods sold is going to be very substantial that's why there's a gross profit here so the cost of goods sold is is going to be tied to the sales forms that we talked about before meaning when you sell stuff with an invoice or the sales receipts that's when the cost of goods sold is recorded if you have a perpetual inventory system in other words when you have inventory you've got to think do I want to have a perpetual inventory system or do I want to have a periodic type of inventory system if you have a perpetual inventory system then when you purchase the inventory with an expense or bill form then it's going to increase the inventory amount in dollars as well as the unit amount in the system and when you sell the inventory with a invoice or sales receipt it will record the sales side as well as reduce the inventory and record the cost of goods sold at the point in time of sale or at least the point in time that you make the invoice and the sales receipt and it will reduce the sub ledger for the inventory valuation summary we saw that when we when we looked at these forms in a prior presentation so but you might not do it that way you could have a periodic inventory system possibly because you're tracking inventory on your other site possibly using a Shopify store tracks the units of inventory maybe or an amazon or something like that or an excel spreadsheet and there and if that's the case then you would still adjust the inventory periodically meaning you would you would just make your sales the way you normally would recording the sales however you end up doing it right but maybe with a bank deposit or month or the or transactions coming in from Shopify or amazon with a journal entry or something or you enter your invoices and sales receipts but when you enter the invoices and sales receipts you're not going to have tracking of inventory turned on therefore it's not going to record the inventory side of things or cost a good soul side of things rather just the revenue side of things and then periodically you do an adjustment meaning you you manually go in here and do a journal entry decreasing the inventory and recording the cost of good sold we'll talk about that stuff a little bit more in future presentations and then you have the expenses side of things this is usually going to be the longest categorization area it's usually the easiest one to manage once it's set up though because most of the expenses that we go that go through here most of the things that we buy are cyclical so once we have assigned the the category it'll it'll be easy to assign it in the future in other words if you go to work at some accounting place and the system has already been set up and you're in the job of doing the data input then what your job usually is going to be is say well what happened last month or what happened last time we had a purchase from this vendor or whatever for this thing and then just assign it to the same account that's going to be the general idea the problem the difficulty comes up with with the expenses when we first set up the company file because then we're going to have to set up our expenses and there's going to be a lot of them and there's a few different ways that we can do that which we'll talk about in future sections or course when we start up a new company file but the general idea would be let's go to the first tab over here I'm going to open up the chart of accounts in the transactions and the chart of accounts to the right and so usually when you start a new company file QuickBooks will give you a whole bunch of accounts and it's usually way too many accounts because they they really are only using like one chart of accounts no matter what information you're telling them in terms of your company type are your sole proprietorship partnership or a corporation and what industry you're in so therefore they they try to cover everything with one chart of accounts so when you first start up the company file you could try to use their chart of accounts which might be the way to go and then start doing data input for the first few months and whenever you assign an expense account see if the expense account works and use it if you like it if it doesn't have exactly the right name but you think it has a close name then you would come in here and change the name to the what you want instead of creating two accounts with similar names because that will lead you to to post to two accounts and that will be kind of messy so you want to make sure you only have one account you want to kind of avoid that then after a few months of data input you can go back in here and see the accounts that you're not using and possibly make them inactive so that you don't have this massive mess of chart of a of a chart of accounts in here just using the ones that you're using or you can remove the entire chart of accounts to start with possibly just on the expenses side of things if you wanted to and then whenever you enter your transactions possibly with the use of bank feeds because most of the transactions are going to be going through the expenses on the bank feeds you can create your own expenses basically as you go customizing your expenses from the start as you go and then after you do that for a couple months it should be fairly straightforward you can also make rules if you're using the bank feeds to record things according to the rules we'll talk about that in the future course or section as well getting into that in more detail also note that the drop down here like we saw with the balance sheet these these triangles are here by account type so this is has a drop down because these are expense type of accounts but these drop downs are because we have that sub account situation so this is a sub account we have all these sub accounts we have sub of a sub account in here okay so that so so those sub accounts are nice you can set those up on the on the general ledger but some people I think kind of go overboard with the sub accounts but the general idea with the sub accounts would be that if you if you want to put your accounts in order in some way one way you can have more control over the ordering of the accounts in any given area is to have account numbers but account numbers add a lot of difficulty into the system if you don't really know how to use them they're a little bit cumbersome to use if you're adding new accounts so if you're not comfortable with them you might not want to use them in which case within each category it'll be in alphabetical order in other words you can see this thing is in order first by account type income cost to get sold expense and then other income and expense that's the way it should be but within the category such as expenses where you have a lot of stuff it's in alphabetical order right and so what if I don't want it in alphabetical order within a category well you can try to assign account numbers that's one thing or you can use the sub accounts which means that I can at least group particular accounts under a certain heading that's great it gives you more detail but it also makes your report a lot longer because it's going to add a a header row and a sub total row so that means there's like two extra rows than if you just added you know one account at a time so that's going to be the trade-off now of course you can collapse these and basically make like a summary type of income statement and that's one of the great benefits of that method because now I can try to print a report that has less detail this way and then I can get the more detail by expanding the triangles and that is a useful tool also note if you want to change the order of these accounts possibly trying to put the largest dollar amount up top for external reporting purposes you might go up top and then say I want to have uh where where did that one go oh I see it's right here it's sort right here and total and descending order so there we have it so now you've got the highest dollar amount one not the one in alphabetical order now if you're providing these reports to an accountant who might be putting it then in their own software then you probably don't want to do that because the accountant wants the same order of accounts from year to year so they can make an easy comparison from year to year oftentimes but if you're giving it to the bank or something like that then maybe the most important accounts the ones with the biggest dollar amounts being on top kind of makes sense so that's another kind of formatting tool uh that you can use now also just remember that these accounts are going to be basically the names of the accounts can somewhat be standardized but they'll also be somewhat specific to the business different businesses will have some unique type of accounts oftentimes depending on the business but the categories will usually not be categorized categorized by vendor just like with the revenue size you're not going to say this is this is Edison the utility company uh bill right you're going to say no it's the it's the electric bill that's what we're going to have it's the electric bill not the Edison bill so that also remember when you're doing the bank transactions from bank feeds which usually will give you the name of the vendor that means that you have to be able to convert in your mind the name of the vendor to what it is that you are buying so that you can make an expense account based on what it is you are buying from the vendor rather than making an expense account called Edison you know the vendor name so uh that's just something to keep in mind as as well and so there's going to be the account types that we have here now the the expense aside often also has the most flexibility with with how you're going to format your your your income statement we saw the sub accounts you have flexibility there you also have flexibility with how many accounts how many accounts that you want in other words you might say hey look I I want it to be easy I don't want to have to report all of you know all these different categories I'm just going to call it expenses that's going to be I'm just going to have one account called expenses well that's too that's probably too restrictive right if I if you fill out the tax return and you say that I have my my expense accounts are just called expenses that's probably not going to do it you're going to need more categories than that but sometimes people go overboard the other way and they start putting too much detail every vendor that they pay something from they're like well this is now I had I went to this restaurant for meals and entertainment but no this was the the Spanish restaurant that I went to rather than the French restaurant that I went to rather than the restaurant that you know you know they might you might have too many categories and you can go overboard and and if you have categories where you're only reporting like 25 dollars in it or something like that well you probably have too many categories maybe you could have grouped that you know somewhere else you're going to be creating too much work for yourself and the added detail will not be worth the cost of time to put in the extended reports in place so you want to like utilities is a classic example because it used to be that utilities used to be the telephone gas and electric and possibly water even trash would be under the the utilities but as time passed the telephone became so important that it basically broke out into its own category so I think most people although they put it under utilities here still under subcategory would basically put the telephone in its own category right now maybe not even call it utilities and the gas and the electric because for most companies those are still relatively small possibly compared to everything else maybe you group those together in one area however if you're growing something like with a with electric lamps or something then your electric bill will possibly be quite higher than other people or something and so that in that case you might want to break out the electric because it's such a significant thing to your business so those those are the kind of things you want to keep in mind in terms of how there's no there's no one set rule to say this is how you group all of the expense accounts across the board that's why we can't exactly standardize things there's certain conventions and and general rules that you can fly apply heuristics I guess but there's not like a rule for every business because it depends on what expenses are most important to you as to whether they should be expensed out in their own category or combined with other expenses grouped together to make the report a little bit easier to read so then down below we've got of course the net income the net income is the bottom line the line at the bottom and we typically if you change the net income just note up top to like one month if I said this is at 12 31 12 0 1 2 3 for example then I'm going to have net income for for the month down here a loss but if I go on to the balance sheet notice the balance sheet doesn't change right if I if I run this for the one month 12 0 1 2 3 then the net income down here is still on a yearly income so so so the way QuickBooks is set up is it rolls over the income statement automatically on a yearly basis and it's not going to change it to like a monthly like you would think that well shouldn't like 11 months be in retained earnings and one month being net income well no because that's not how QuickBooks does it it just does the whole year no matter what you do with the dates in that net income area so just to to point that out and just also just remember that if I run a report 0 1 0 1 2 3 we'll take a look at this more later but if I run a report like quarters then now you've got your performance by quarter and then it sums it up total for the year that's different than the balance sheet because it's a it's a performance report so bottom line income statement performance report you need a beginning date and an ending date whereas the balance sheet was a point in time you only need one date basically to have a basic balance sheet


My name is Rowan, I'm a dyke officer, work at ACT Regions office. I've been working here for about three and a half, maybe four years, and I'm a spare time professional musician. Share our stories to understand, we're all one and the same in this wondrous land. It wasn't really a great leap, I think, to take something like Harmony Day and the message of Harmony Day and incorporate it with Hip-Hop. If you believe in harmony, say diversity is a part of me. I mean, a lot of Hip-Hop gets a bit of a bad rap, but for as much negative, you know, cliched stereotypical Hip-Hop music, a lot of it is really positive. It was born out of people, you know, talking about their lives and wanting to be positive and, you know, it's a way of expressing yourself. I think it is important to celebrate Harmony Day because it brings people from different cultures together and that's what make Australia. I can encourage my members in the community to come along and then celebrate the Harmony Day together. To get the lyrics matching images which we hadn't seen, we sat down and discussed the overall way, so we had a look at storyboards, we had a talk about how it was going to be paced, the types of images which were going to be shot, the types of people, colours, motifs, themes that were going to be involved. So we knew that it had to be obviously sort of a really bright, positive sound, but it also had to be upbeat and vibrant and engaging. Harmony Day is about peace and everybody working together. I think it's important to celebrate Harmony Day so that it gives everyone a chance to live together, all different cultures living together. Embrace the different cultures in this country and, you know, get to know your neighbour and, you know, the different nationalities in Australia. Seeing the clip for the first time was fantastic, seeing how the music and the images have finally come together after all the planning and talking about it, and the thing which stuck out for me today was the colour of it and the overall, what was a really positive feeling and a sense of excitement that people in Australia are going to be able to see this, hear this message here, the music that we've created, see the images which the department's put together for Harmony Day and hopefully I think people will be really responsive to it.


Hello everybody. This is my first time actually hosting Bryce on to my show today and welcome to spiritual perspectives of our great awakening. I'm so excited because we have Cindy coming on to the show today and we are going to talk about Hathor. How are you guys doing today? Good. That was same before we started filming. This is not my second time filming from a bedroom, from a bed, so you see my camera wobbling about. It's because it's on a pillow. I'm still not in Atlanta, so we're just making do with what we have, but I'm super excited. I got back in time to do this episode with you ladies. Yeah. How are you, Cindy? I'm doing good. I'm here at the yoga studio, taught a class earlier this morning, and I was reading up. I was preparing too. I love, you know, talking about Hathor and was reading up a little bit before we got on today. Yay. Yay. So I just started reading a little bit about Hathor in the Sophia code book. I'm currently reading through that right now, and ever so slowly I'm reading through it during my busy work schedule and everything, but I really wanted to start, you know, covering more of like the goddesses and everything like that because they're so twisted, you know, the way that the powers that be have portrayed them. And so I think it's important that we understand just what these Ascended Masters did, their importance, a little bit of their background and everything. So the audience understands that, you know, there's a bigger picture and all of this. So with that said, Cindy, I will let you take the wheel on Hathor. Oh my gosh. Well, I also, I have the book that Sophia can actually have me here with me as well. And I love the way that she talked about Hathor in this book. In my experience in the working with Hathor, the first time I really worked with her, I felt like she just came in and rearranged my whole intern. I feel that the part of her essence or her magic, her mastery, you know, it goes through many realms, but for us as humans, it's learning how to master our human body into awakening and not just everything that the human body entails.  And in the Sophia mode, Hathor has talked about how we're made up of electrons and Bryce has talked about that. I think we had that conversation before on your channel and understanding that our body is this quantum thing and how powerful it is, how powerful our body is, how powerful our voice is. And when, like I said, when I worked with Hathor, I think it was last fall. I mean, I really felt like it was, it was a really intense experience.  And when I had that, you know, I had fever and I had started my, my period at the same time. Like, so I was in this major, major, I don't know what you call it, ketone mode. And I kept seeing also like a lot of things, the, the flower of life, you know, the sacred geometry on the flower of life, that kept coming in a lot too. And again, it just felt like this very intense, alfamical kind of experience through my body. But after that, like, it lasted, and then there was a whole mental rearranging, I think that happened as well with my mind.   And on the other side of that, I had so much energy, so much momentum, so much motivation, and like, new information, just new information kept coming in through that. Well, I like sharing that because that's, that's what happened to me when working with Haphor. I really did feel like I was rearranged, and I feel like that's largely part of what she does is that she helps us to clear cleanse our body, our mind, our throat, our heart, our energetic system, so that we can be the clearest vessel that's possible for our time itself. But learning, like learning mastery over our body, too, like true mastery over our body, as sovereign beings, as manifesters, as co-creators, and this is the whole process of understanding all the bits and details and the power that resides within our body, activating it to its fullest potential so that we can live our best life. Can we talk about the virus thing for a minute, because this is something, Stephanie, I've spoken about, and this is something I cannot reiterate enough, because here in the Western world, especially as of the last couple of years, I think we forgot, we forget the potency of viruses. They're not a bad thing. And in fact, in the East, they're, they're necessary. It's the burning away of, of the old Samskara, of the old patterning.   Like it's not fun, you know, but there's a spiritual process that is happening. We've talked about this, Stephanie, when you can't, when you're, when you have these, these pathways throughout your physical body that are energetic, the energetic body is feeding that physical body.  And when you start to break down those patternings, especially old ones that have been around, you know, you might have inherited them from your ancestors. Who knows? It takes like a fire. It takes a virus. It takes something to come in to like just, we have a joke where Guruji used to say like, well, a new body is making, new body is making. But what he didn't tell you is the old body has to break first before the new one can make. And that's the same thing with energetic patternings.  And sometimes that results in a virus that results in a fever. It's the same thing when you're on your period, it's that deep. And the fact that it happened all together with you, Cindy, God, God has a sense of humor with that one. That was rough. I want to add to that, too, Bryce. Oh, sorry. I didn't, sorry.  No, I was just responding to that. I mean, that was like, what the? Coming out of every hole, right? Like every, like literally every. Oh my God. And it's interesting you bring this up, too, because I don't know if I've ever mentioned this on my channel or yours, Bryce, but back in, I would say, middle of 2020, I hadn't fully awakened to this whole realization or reality of what exactly is going on. But I was, I was going through a period of time where I was like little by little and I remember I'd wake up really, really, really early in the morning because, you know, generally most people, if you're normal to some extent, you have a full bladder when you wake up, you got to relieve yourself and not to get gross here. But I would like break out in a wicked fever that lasted maybe five minutes and I would get so weak that I fall on the ground. And I was getting concerned. It went away. But now looking back at it and knowing what I know now, I'm realizing that my body was upgrading and it was allowing some old stuff to be released and then the new to come on in now that I know better. And so the other thing that would happen is the ringing in the ears would happen and then I'd break out in a fever again. And I mean, only last five to 10 minutes. It was the weirdest thing and I did not understand it at the time because coming from the Western medical world that I was in to to a regular doctor, that could be like a heart condition or you need to get this test done and that test done. And now that I know, especially thanks to Bryce, you know, you have taught me a lot about this stuff. I realized that it was releasing of the old so the new could come in and then it was weird because then I had a massive spiritual awakening after I went to the front of that because it was happening almost every morning. So yeah, I mean, our bodies are quite magnificent in the in the magazine he just do and even in the half or because, you know, like half or I said, Magdalene, it's up the same, the same lineage, but they talk about the body as the chat like your body is the whole grail.   And the mastery of our body. I mean, that is how all these these high priestesses, the ascended masters, that's how they they knew how to heal. And that's how they knew how to how to create how they knew how to travel between timelines. They understood that their their bodies with quantum in that they could coexist here and in another lifetime at the same time or they can, you know, like energetically be at two or three different places at the same time that comes from mastery of the body and understanding what the full potential of our human body is. Now, most of us don't don't quite to there, but that in essence, to me, the way I see it is what an ascended master is. They have a full awakening and knowing, of course, of their of their eternalness of their soul, of their, you know, all that, but also of how this instrument works. And they have full control of that instrument in yoga.   It's the full understanding of all those things. Yeah, it's interesting into the second sutras. Patanjali says that you're learning how to master your senses. And from through everything that I've experienced, and I'm still haven't mastered that yet, you know, it's still a practice. But the more you really hone in on the subtle body to the more you realize you first start to acknowledge how much your senses are actually mastering you and you're not mastering your senses and so you learn how to then take that step. And how many people do we see that are afraid, they're afraid of sensation, they're afraid. But that's what these beautiful ancient practices are teaching you is how to actually understand your and I mean, Patanjali even says like future pain can be avoided. Future if you learn how to enter the third and fourth part of they get into like the cities, what we call in yoga is cities and I'm a bad lady for even talking about them because we're not supposed to even talk about them. But if you read a lot of like Ram Das's books, it even when a Bhagavan Das's book, they talk about Maharajee, their guru, they literally witnessed him making food multiply the way that Yasha would did in the Bible, they made he made apples multiply. There was one scene I think it was Ram Das, maybe it was Bhagavan Das was driving in India and Maharajee was in the passenger seat beside them and they were having a chit chat and they look over and he was gone. And then a few minutes later, he was back again. He learned how to control because the nature is and we talked about this, Stephanie, it's like in the Western world, we've been taught that our body is just our body.  Whereas when you get into the Eastern philosophy, you realize, actually, it's your energy, that subtle part of you that is manifesting these things within yourself. And that's what you're learning to control is that it's like a glove. It's like the hand in the glove is what's controlling the glove. The glove is just love that energy in your hand. I think too, you know, we're so programmed to think, you know, externally, like what what we see is what we believe. And it goes far beyond that. And I wanted to bring up the whole how half or could be in two worlds at once because that was something I was very interested in actually asking you, Cindy, was what I was reading about was she had this lifetime on earth, but she also was simultaneously in Syria for the Syrian planet. Also, I don't know she went back and forth or she was simultaneously living two different lifetimes, two different timelines together. But that impressed me. And I mean, we've been so lied to that these things are literally and they're possible. And I think these are things we're going to probably start learning about in the future and everything like that. But I don't know if you know more about that where she was in between earth and the Syrian planet. Well, the yeah, the way I understand it in the book is she did have a human experience and that that it was back along like before at land before Limerion. And it was during one of the golden ages where the people that were on this planet had more than understanding of things that we're not quite as awakened to. Yes, nothing that we're awakened to. And a lot of that information was simply more available. And the positive in her human experience, she had an understanding of the fact that we're quantum being through the electron. If you go through the Sophia pose or one of her activations, if she activates all the electrons within your body and electrons or quantum particles that travel almost at the speed of light, I actually researched this before for a video that I did, our electrons don't quite travel at the speed of light, but they almost travel at the speed of light. If our electrons travel at the speed of light, we wouldn't be in form. But they come really close to that. And then we have trillions and trillions and trillions of them within the body. And the way that Hathor explains it in the book is that that's the first vehicle to our soul. Like our higher self extends through every single electron in our body. And if we could just like awaken and remember them. That is what gives us the capacity to understand ourselves more as these quantum being through the physical body, you know, through the energetic body, then also through our resonance through our voice, through actual vibration and sound and through just like our heart, you know, our heart chakra. And when she was on earth, that was what she was known for. She was she was known for that. That was that that was her like her highest teaching. And yeah, and we're going to leave. Yes, and that's what also gave her the capacity to exist within different. That's amazing. Like her self here, her self there. She was not. It was I said, it was more the Oracle of the Earth. But anyway, she had she just that she had that that potential. And what was interesting to it in this book is Mother Mary is also a teacher of your voice and that the mother Mary also understood Hathor, like this, this, these specific teachings of Hathor about our bodies, about truly awakening the voice and to let our voice to be a representation of our higher self and that this is one of that you got your collarbone and that this space right here. And if you don't do it, you know, if you don't do it, you can feel a vibration that's coming through. And that's like the gateway, the gateway to.  And yeah, so it has to are like new, new, this. She knew the information to all of this and pass on that knowledge in her while she was on Earth. And then. Yeah, and now it translates over into, you know, her being the Egyptian goddess, the way we know her. You know, she would come in with these horns. I didn't see her like the horns in this. You know, you have like a disc in the horns and she would manifest through this. She was like, it's the cow goddess. But that was also her shape. This thing, like I said, was a shape. Differently as well. And you would see her with her feathers and, you know, half or was a shape shifter and they would capture her like the cow goddess, but also the goddess of fertility of abundance of all these things as well. That's how it passed on through the, you know, just the more traditional life. Now, Hathor was also a major influence in Isis, correct? Like you taught Isis a lot of what Isis knew. Is that accurate? That's the way I understand it. Yeah. That Hathor was an essence first. And then Isis learned the teachings of Hathor. And in the addition line, they got in that. Like Hathor and Isis kind of came once. Even though they were too separate, you know, a lot of their stuff got in mess. And sometimes you will see Isis with the same disc. Like Isis has a disc, Hathor has a disc because their teachings actually got in mesh with one another. Okay. That makes a lot of sense. You know, it's interesting. I want us to think that shape shifting is something that's bad, you know. I'm glad you're bringing the software, the lizard people do it, all that kind of stuff. But we're all, we all have that ability. We all have the, now granted, if I, I've said it on my channel before, like if I was going to shape shift anything, it would be for me to constantly have a six pack without having to exercise. No, I'm just kidding. But no, it's, we all have that ability. And if you think about it, like the rate in which, like you can, we do change. You can tell when someone's upset. Your shape shifts by the energy of being upset by being angry, you already see that happening. And our body is constantly in a state of evolving and changing. That's why it's nature. It's always going to change because it has a, it has an expiration date. But I want to get back to being the idea of being in two places at once. Now, this is something that I knew about long before the Great Awakening started because this is a topic of conversation that comes up a lot with the law of one with the Cassiopeans. And I myself have been told by many people that I am personally existing on this earth plane and in the Galactics. I've been told that by multiple, that my, a part of myself is also in the Galactics right now existing in that higher plane of existence.  I don't know, what does her outfit look like? I don't know, you know, but I hope it's pretty. I hope it's pretty. But that is something that I have, especially for what they say for it, I don't want to say more evolved souls. So I don't think that's, I don't think that's necessarily the case, but more of souls that are maybe used to being in a place where they've been more of like a warrior type in the sense of like, they have a job to do.  And sometimes we know with the concept of twin flames that a soul can split into two bodies as well. But yet in the quantum, those twins are always together. The souls are all, they're never apart from each other. And so it's this mind blowing concept for us, mortal, mere mortal humans that are dealing with the mere mortal brain, you know, the brain. We talk about this in yoga a lot. The brain is just a muscle. It's just an organ, like the heart. It has a job to do in your sure survival. But you also have your consciousness and your psyche and all these things together make up your own thought process. But when we start to separate the way we analytically look at something, you can actually feel the difference where the brain can't possibly understand this because the brain recognizes patterns. The brain is looking to survive. The brain is trying to figure out what's going to keep you on this earth plane alive. Whereas the consciousness though, if you shift it, your consciousness can kind of understand it. You know, can kind of go, oh yeah, that resonates. Like yeah, that actually resonates. The first time somebody said that to me, I was like, yeah, that kind of makes sense. I don't understand it, but that kind of makes sense. There's something that resonates. And I think part of this great awakening is, you know, the brain, the analytical brain does have a purpose. It does have a very important purpose. You wouldn't be able to drive a car without it.  But to be able to kind of flip the awareness into more of that conscious state of understanding the quantum more. And that's something that we've kind of been robbed up to in this timeline. We weren't, my parents didn't talk to me about this. Like we didn't go to school learning about this. So, you know. Part of the great awakening is entering this Christ consciousness state where, you know, it's not just understanding that we've been lied to our whole lives, but it's like, there's these gifts and powers that have been completely hidden from us in that we're going into a different state of consciousness. So I think going forward, we'll eventually start to remember these things if we had these abilities in a past life or whatnot. I don't know what your take is on that, you guys, but I'm thinking that we will start to remember things as we shift into the fourth density positive, but that fifth density consciousness, the Christ consciousness. Well, you know, we had, we met a lot of us and you know, I've done it through my work. We have the capacity to access different parts of our lives, our past lives.  And that's pretty well known. Like you can access your past life. And what's really fascinating is this is a personal practice too that I often share. You know, I've done it myself, but I'll share it with some students or some clients is to access your future self.  We'll decide which parts of your future self actually activate and this and that. But if you're in the process of really manifesting or creating or just really wanting to create the life that you wanna create, well, there's a timeline for that. Like you can transport yourself to your future self that has all the things. And to ask that future self to come in and to communicate with your present self and give you the information that it needs to get you there. So, you know, like that's a practice that you can use instead of always going in the past. Now, you know, sometimes we have to unravel our past, unraveling our bodies to disentangle it so that we're not living or we're not frozen in the past. But then you can also connect to your future self. And with that timeline where, in that future where you've already done the things. You know, you've already got the thing, you've already created things. And then ask that future self to come in and to give you the roadmap as to how to get there. Now, that would require a lot of shadow work. I'm assuming, wouldn't it? Well, I was about to say. Shadow work comes in for the disentangling pieces of your past. Yes. That's basically the shadow work is a lot of the inner child stuff. Yeah. A lot of subconscious where we're fragmented and we're still caught in our trauma drama, all that stuff. Usually your shadow takes you to your past to free you from that, from your body. Because all that stuff gets stuck in your body and that's why I think that's also part of the process of mastering our bodies. We gotta shed it from where it's traumatized or frozen in the past. There is a book out there. You know, honestly, I haven't read the book because I feel like I would read the book and go, yes, yes, yes, correct, correct, correct. Your body holds the score. Yeah, I've read it. Have you read it? What does this book again? It's intense. It is really, your body keeps the score. It is. Is that something somebody could purchase on Amazon or something? It's really intense. It gets into how your body holds on and things, but it's interesting. So Dr. Brian Wise, most people know who he is who are in the spiritual world. He was one of the first big hypnotherapists, doctors who accidentally stumbled upon learning how to bring people into past life regression. He's written his first book, I think, was called Many Minds, Many Masters. I can't remember the exact. I read his first book when I was in college. And at that point, Reincarnation was something my grandmother kind of briefly spoke to me about, like, whispered because we didn't want our Christian family to hear we were talking about that. She was great. I've told people much that she used to hide books about reincarnation under the bed for my grandfather. But she, and so I started reading this book in college and I was like, this is so fascinating. And he's written so many books on the subject. He's talked about all his different clients and he can study karmically patterns in people and how they've kind of translated through each life. And again, your karma said this over and over and over again for the Westerners in the back of the room. You don't understand what karma is. All karma is is action and reaction. It's your work. That's all it is. That's all it is. And there was one book though where he was starting to take people into their future lives. He was starting to do this with his clients. And a lot of the times, and one client I remember who spoke about in particular is there were two future lines simultaneously available to that person. And it all depended on whether the person in this particular life did their shadow work or not. If they didn't work through their karma in this life they were gonna have to take this path. If they did, they did the work, then this path would open up. One path and I'll never forget. The next life, I remember it was this woman was going to now be a man living in Hawaii in a beautiful home was gonna have a very peaceful life. But the other possibility was a really hard life for her. But it all depended on what she did now in the here and now with her own karma.  So God doesn't care how long it takes. Like you can repeat the second grade as many times as you want to because you're not dying anyway.  And that's gonna determine the trajectory of which path is simultaneously available to you. Now as we talk about the multiverse there could be two different lives you're living in this life where in one instance you do the work and in one instance you don't and so your soul then takes two separate journeys. That gets into a whole other discussion of the multiverse and the existence of you living even on the same plane in different existences. But it's all for you to learn for this. What is it Alan Watts says? It's like the eyeball trying to see itself. It's like the soul really trying to understand itself which it's almost as David Greed you say like it almost like the unsolvable riddle because it's so complex you know. And for our little mortal lives it's just, you know. It starts to wrap itself around all those ideas and that's why often through sessions or you know clearing sessions and I do you clear through all dimensions all realities all timeline through all space time dimensions and reality because they're and not only that but the way then how that just continues to roll over into how it can impact your unborn children. Because it goes out, it has a rippling effect that goes out beyond simply you. It ripples out to your future line. You know you're over and all of them who come after you so it's just yeah it's mind-blowing when you think about how. We were talking about this yesterday Stephanie about we were talking about like it's not men having to like grow up and be dads and you said oh they have nine months to prepare I'm like no, no, no. The minute that sperm hits that egg that sperm is holding a vibrational frequency.   It really does. Yeah. So mind-blowing, it's absolutely mind-blowing. This is realities, future selves, past selves, unborn children, I mean it just we ripple. And how many different directions for sperm? No pressure people, no pressure. It's a lot to take in, it really is and especially like you know I just came out of the Christian church so this is like you know what I mean like learning about all this stuff and I mean it's quite liberating at the same time. I'm glad I'm out of that world because that is a very harsh world to be a part of and it's you lose your sense of self when you were in that world because they don't want you to know your powers and everything but you know learning about all these ascended masters and everything it's been a subject of interest with me especially the lineage of ISIS and all of that and so that's why I wanted to bring in this whole Hathor video because I know they're very interconnected in a lot of the stuff that they did and the teachings and all that kind of stuff so it was very, very fascinating for me and I'm very fascinated with the whole thing that Hathor was simultaneously living in two different worlds I think that's mind blowing right there but apparently we still have those abilities to do that. You might be too Stephanie at this and Cindy might be as well that your soul is living in two different worlds. I wouldn't be shocked. I wouldn't be shocked. At this point nothing really shocks me. So I always say and we were texting today I mean in the West we're just basically taught the soul like that's what we're spirit soul that's what we're taught is that eternal but then you get into the teachings of the East and you've got and for them the soul I typically say soul because I'm speaking mostly to Westerners and so that's what Westerners understand is that eternal part of us but then you get to the East and they believe that the soul isn't even the real eternal part of you that you can have multiple souls within you from all your different lives you've lived it's like a residue from all those so you can be walking around with like 1500 souls from all these lives you've lived in your one body that the real essence of the eternal if it gets down to Atman something that's even deeper than the soul this idea of Atman which then connects to Brahman which is one of you know big in India it's Brahma Brahma is one of the tri heads of the deity so it gets so, so detailed so detailed into who we really are the essence of who we really are and one thing I love about the Isis and Hathor teaching is the role of women because I think most people know the name Isis over Osiris and Osiris was her male consort but people know Isis probably thanks to you know McCain and his bandits of we won't say much on that guys you know what we're talking about but they like to dirty those names up but people know Isis more than they know Osiris the women in this time were respected as sovereign beings who actually were more than just a housewife with a pretty face that they had babies that there was such a huge shift from these powerful women that people went to for healing went to as a we even see we've talked about this and you've mentioned this a lot about even with Magdalene and Yahshua she anointed him you don't ask somebody to anoint you unless you view them as spiritually superior to you and he had to anoint him he asked Magdalene to do it he didn't ask Peter or John or you know Larry down the street like he asked Magdalene to do it with her alabaster jar and so yeah and it's funny too that when you begin to connect and study with these ascended masters the way that they come through you I mean they will really be with you I shared recently on the Instagram so I'm running right now the attention course where we're actually working with the female ascended masters and I was sharing how when I come up with a date for the program that I run I come up with a date clearly because it fits on my schedule well that's it there's no other motivation I was like I look at my schedule I'm gonna say okay we're gonna do this thing, this thing, this thing right and then as we know you know we just well went through Holy Week and this past Saturday we had one of the classes scheduled for ascension and of course it was mother Mary Magdalene until we had scheduled and it happened to fall on the full moon in Libra which you know Libra is ruled by Venus and I planned that well some of my consciousness planned that but like I didn't consciously plan that but the way that these teachings and these features and these ascended masters will just come in and will show up in your life this way giving you the synchronicities and the affirmations that yes we are yes we are here with you and I think that's one of the big things that we can take away from this as well is that they are here with you and that they will work with you and they will show up in your lives in very meaningful transformational ways that you know truly make a difference that they don't only exist in theory because you know when we talk about this you know we talk about the theory, the philosophy but they don't only exist in the realm of theory that they exist in the realm of showing up for you in your real life and bringing the messages home and truly embodying them and that is so true with all of us with Hathor and they just like sneak in and they give you all these little divine ways through the synchronicities saying yes you know we're here again we don't just exist here in the world of talking about us but we will truly come in, come through you and the more you study with them the more you get the more you take in the more you become initiated the more you actually become the challenged yourself as that's on the channel and your words are their words your words become one like their words are your words it's like you've opened yourself up to their wisdom their knowledge and everything that they have to share You said one time Cindy and I loved it that they don't want to be worshipped they don't want to be it's almost like they're there actually that you are also an ascended master yeah so you can also do this they want to be embodied through you it's like they want to be embodied and to like really be here on this earthling showing up to anybody who's open and willing to do it and you have to be open and willing you have to be willing to be the work because it would end kind of initiation no matter what study you're going in it's going to require you to do your work so the willing list is to do your work and to then become become the vessel you have to become the chalice and become the embodiment that's what they want they want you to be an embodiment of what they've been you know that their wisdom of their teaching Yeah, somebody asked me I can't remember if it was in an email or if it was in a comment somebody asked me what does one have to do to be initiated into the priesthood of Isis or this path or whatever it's called now you know what does one have to do to become that it's going to do to find someone who's already done through them so in the GA4 you know someone who's spent years with it and it'll just work better you can totally go through and you know say it frequently you can totally go through these processes on your own I mean you really can you have the capacity to do that but to have someone that helps you through it it's much better for when the fit hits the fan and you have someone that you can go to because it will it will have been like the unraveling of the old will happen Yep and when that happens you have someone who can just be a concert or have something or someone a container to help you get through through like those moments and to just help to I don't know to dive along into actually the catalyst for it instead of trying to do everything on your own you can pull up your things by yourself but it's better to do things not for yourself well sometimes the teacher will trigger the karma to come up faster I mean I tell a friend who is a certified ashtanga teacher one of the like 17 women in the world who are certified so hard and she said that before like your karma is laid out for you in this life already but when you pick a practice like ashtanga or a spiritual practice an intense old practice that runs by very ancient set of rules you're actually asking to have your karma set up you're asking what about this? I'll just I'll just step up I was telling this to somebody I mean maybe it was you Bryce all we're doing is saving you time so that you don't have to go through your four, five or six lifetimes like you said you know God really doesn't care but you might care because you might be tired of feeling shitty or feeling stuck or feeling like you don't know where you're going you know and you want to enhance your life now look like and so your teachers they just act as catalyst to save you time all we do all we do is save you time yeah it's a controlled demolition I mean I was having a conversation with that at your school sending with a student of ours saying this is a controlled demolition when you're in the especially with the yoga ashtanga practice the practice itself and a lot of old spiritual practices are designed to piss you off they're designed to trigger you they're designed for a controlled demolition of your false sense of self to get to the root of who you are you got to you got to take down the fake plaster before you can actually get you the gold underneath and that's not fun that's the one thing I'm trying because I think sometimes here in the west more so in the east we are really confused about that I find a lot of people think when they take on a spiritual path that it's going to be just in your music and like you know lavender scents you're just going to be farting lavender I don't know it's just going to be it's just going to be and I'm like rainbows that's not that's not happening once maybe next life maybe next life maybe next life this is farting lavender I was just highly impressed I know I did not happen I was really impressed too I'm like no it is it is one of the most painful things you will ever go through and that's when people I find in myself anyway with my students when when this stuff really starts to come up when the shit hits the fan that's when people run and they don't want to do it anymore and they go back to their old habits because it's too hard and it's not their you know it's not their expectation of what they held in their mind about what a spiritual journey was going to look like and it's it becomes worth it when you start to work through that stuff because you learn so much about yourself and you find out who your sense of self is but yeah it's and those teachers are not going to coddle you they're not going to have enough people help you through that too yeah you know remain and that's where it's good to have have teachers is when you get to that point where you're like oh my gosh I want to stop but you have a space and you have like a container you know to do the work it's you're more likely to go through it and to show up and to you know to process and to fit to the other side of it where if you're just doing it by yourself you might not be as motivated or you might not keep the momentum to keep going I agree with that teachers, initiators you know your priestesses all this that's where that's that's just what we do is is we're holding we're holding the space for that for you to do a teaching because it's not like we're here figuring it out for you you're not figuring it out for yourself like we can provide you with with the guidance we can provide you with maybe some of the initial inter-static initiations and you know be there but you still have to yeah you still have to go through it yourself you have to do the work and and we're that's basically what we do is we just hold the space for you to be able to do it holding accountability and people ask for that a lot especially in the Mysore Room which is not Cindy's school I just teach a web class but in the Mysore Room for traditional Ashdanga there's constantly somebody on their mat crying there's constantly somebody having a breakdown and it's not becoming the practice is hard but that's nothing compared to what it's pulling up in that person and every single teacher I've worked with and the way I handle it to in the Mysore Room is when somebody's having a breakdown on their mat I don't draw attention to them I just let them have their space and once they get them once they get themselves together they resume their practice again and then I continue helping them through their practice most teachers will not draw attention to it I remember one time I was up in Philadelphia practicing and there was a girl beside me who every day she was just struggling through this third series transition which would be all third series like Cirque du Soleil anyway but you know she was really you could tell it was really triggering her and you would see her just you would hear her dropping F-bombs that's most Mysore Rooms you hear the F-bomb all the time it's no big deal because people are triggered and they're working through stuff and then one day like four days into my time there she just like sat on her mat and just started sobbing just sobbing we all just continued practicing and David continued walking around the room and then once she got her act together and took that deep breath David came and sat on the mat beside her and just said y'all good now? and she said yep he was like alright let's get back up and keep going and that's all it took you know and someone tried on my mat this morning I was like you're not going to help just solve their problems like you solve it yourself yeah but we might give a little extra something you're gonna hold the space if you have questions answering the questions that kind of thing but you know we're not here to thank you or to do anything like that we're just here simply to you know to give a hold just to hold the container be the container and I'll leave go ahead and yeah I'll say it's a safe space it's a safe space to follow apart it's a safe space and that's because it's expected and sometimes people feel crazy when it starts to happen to them but the teachers are to go actually this is really normal that's happened to me Bryce I called you I'm like I don't know what's going on I just did this bar exercise and I can't stop crying and so I've been learning this first hand for the first time in my life like I've worked I used to be a crazy person with working out two hours a day for six days, seven days a week when I was like really, really young but in the gym and I wasn't working any of my pelvic floor area my hips none of that like solar plexus area and now that I'm working that with the bar exercising like this morning I really lost it and I felt a lot of I actually had a lot of like flashbacks of my childhood things that made me angry come up and I didn't run away from it I faced a head on and I just remembered it and I said okay well and I allowed myself to cry it out and really faced it and everything and understanding why that particular issue has created me to act maybe certain ways in my adult life you know why and learning a lot from you Bryce when it comes to this kind of stuff I was able to productively face that and do that shadow work head on but I felt so much better afterward it was uncomfortable I don't like crying I talk about solid time I was always told a lot of times don't cry, don't cry so that's a programming I have to release now and so but you have to release it you have to face it and you can't run away from it because it's going to just follow you and follow you and follow you so it's just you it's you that you're facing you know what I mean that's like people think oh my gosh I want to say something that I can't it's you it's a part of you it's a you that was stuck or frozen a child or something that felt hurt and we fear that we fear facing that but it's you you know it's just you that you're facing and our ego makes it so much bigger than that like no you can't go there because you know we we we cultivate these protective mechanisms to keep us from going to those places because they cause trauma before and you're that those parts of those mechanisms of protection they do a really great job of making you very afraid of looking at those things but there's just you they're little big views they're like they can use little two three year old views you know what I mean eleven year old views and that that only they just want to be heard and acknowledged and seen you know and it's through that process that we can regain and become a whole like those those pieces that we have fragmented we can bring them back into our soul we don't feel we don't feel I mean we can't ever be fragmented that we we do a good job of of in in our bodies fragmenting pieces of ourselves of that we don't feel home you know and that's what the this does is it brings all those pieces back to you and you can bring that part of you back into your heart or into your soul reflexes or into wherever wherever you just associated it from but they're just they're they're just your emotions you know they're they're simply your emotions and they're you that's that's what you're facing but we make our that our our protective mechanisms they're really good job of making us really afraid of facing those things mm-hmm it's not easy but mm-hmm it's so beneficial to do that work so beneficial and we like to project we like to and as I say this guys I'm generalizing if you were in a situation where you were being abused please get out of it but if we go back and look at because I know I've been through that Stephanie's been through that we've all been through that situation and we want to project all of those issues onto the person who did it to us but when you're really on the spiritual path you go wait a minute I was doing that to myself what part of me we're talking about magnifying attracting what part of me wasn't healed that was the best thing that happened to me in my life is I had gone through one bad relationships the next bad relationships the next bad relationship with narcissists to the point where I almost lost my life it got so bad where I almost lost I had to call 911 I got you know I can't say it on YouTube but this and the dog actually I actually thought I was I mean the dog pooped on the floor and that's when they I was dropped and I reached for my phone and called 911 it was bad but I had to get all the way to that point for me to go why am I attracting this and then sending into trauma therapy and also to India where I took a lot of time alone and I went through trauma therapy and I had a great I know people feel funny about therapists I had a great trauma therapist she was very well educated in Eastern philosophy and she you know would walk you through things and we did EMDR therapy to also relax the mind a little bit but just being able to face that part of myself from my childhood that wasn't healed and if something isn't healed it's going to keep screaming out at you and attracting something to get your attention before you actually heal it and after that happened after I went through that I all of a sudden was able to date men that showed me actual love because I started to love myself I actually found myself in healthy relationships that I had never been in before all of a sudden look at that this is all of a sudden you're in a healthy you know and it's it's it's um so it has been official it's hard though it really sucks especially when you've gone through something like that and you're like wait a minute this is on me yeah when I was a child I didn't have a chance to you know but now I'm in and that's one thing my therapist said to me you are responsible for that little girl you are now responsible for her and by not healing this you're doing to her what you feel like your parents did to you you're just right up that role and it is it's you facing yourself it's all you it's liberating when you and it is when you go through the idea of this little contract that you actually agreed for these things to happen so you would have the opportunity to learn and grow and I know people get upset with that but honestly when you actually realize that you were the you were the writer of that contract that you were the one that said I'm going to do this in this life whoa that's powerful yes that's very liberating to understand that and I always have said to that how did I how do I word this I always say some of the greatest things that come to us in life come with the hardest work yeah nothing good and I mean no nothing good is easy and but but look at it in a sense where when you do that hard work you are going to feel like a million bucks compared to if you did nothing about it you know what I mean there is a sense of like I don't want to say reward I don't want to coming off like egotistical but like it's it's like a humble pat on the back like okay I did this I'm proud of myself and you gain this love for yourself that you couldn't if you didn't do anything about it does that make sense with self respect yeah it builds your it builds the confidence inside of you that it which is going that impossible it's part of the actual feeling of empowerment is that it's where you can say you know here I am I'm good with and that confidence empowerment all those things and that they reside right there at your solar center and it builds you up you know but it builds you up from from the inside out from restoring all those misplaced pieces where we disassociated them or put them somewhere you put the piece back and it's like you know you grow you grow bigger taller or stronger for sure yeah you learn you said this to me too you you learn and that's the thing about the sense of self you learn not to look for your sense of self outside of you and that's the big that goes even beyond love is just understanding that you have a sense of self of who you are that's beyond what your favorite food is what your favorite color is it something that's so sacred that's yours and once you find that sense of self and you're able to settle into that sense of self you can be alone and be fine you're not looking for another person to fulfill you you're not looking for another thing to fulfill you I mean I Ram Dass even said this once and I thought this was brilliant that one day you don't even need the spiritual practices anymore because you found what you were looking for you know and that's that's the beauty of it and that goes beyond so much of what we even perceive about ourselves is resting in that sense of self and I think a lot of times children do have a sense of self but then through the hazard obstacle of being human things get knocked out of them and all of a sudden we are a little fragmented and disassociated and then we're adults running around with wounds from our childhood that we're just trying to cover up a mask when actually it's never been gone in the first place it was always there we just have to go and find it again and I thought like Hathar, Isis all these ascended masters had to also work through this as well well to get where they were to have an understanding of the predicament of being human we're restoring your talent you got to restore it restore your talent and then it can hold your higher consciousness better like you resonate with your higher consciousness better once you restore restore your talent and I think that's why you know that's what Hathar that's what I feel at least in my part of it you know I think different teachers might have different perspectives as to what their piece is and what they're offering in teaching but the one that comes through most powerfully for me is that is restoring your talent restoring your body restoring your humanity doing doing your shadow work doing all all this stuff doing your exercises eating well I mean because all that contributes so doing the bar doing the yoga doing making sure your muscles are supporting I mean I mean go through the truth not just the inner data but you got to go through the physiological I mean you need to go through understanding your nervous system understanding yeah though your bone structure your muscle structure how you can support to that your senses I mean taking it beyond just an energetic but to the physical because it all of course it all comes up and restoring your talents I mean that's really what I feel like like I do that's what I help people with that input mine the way these masters come in through me is is to offer that kind of those words and that kind of support the health in that yeah when is your next ascended master's workshop Cindy do you have dates for yet no or two more probably in the fall okay I'll do another one the thing is I have to figure out how to do that we do so much hands on that one I haven't figured out how to put together virtually because we also take field trips yeah you know we go and we go and do different things but um yeah I'm definitely a feeler like I'm a knower I'm a feeler I like to touch people I don't know why I'm being called to ask this of you Cindy because you know in the Ashtanga world teachers travel a lot to do workshops and actually Dave agreed we'll probably be coming back in the fall which is yeah and but would you ever if there's somebody watching right now Cindy that owns Shala somewhere and wants you to come up and teach a weekend workshop or something on the Ascended Masters would you be would you be open to traveling to do that yeah yeah and it was like yeah totally I would totally be up for that and I am also trying to forget more on the virtual like you know I did the little arm in the middle of doing the the virtual training for the spirit release so and I do some other in one's clients you know I have clients from you know from all over the place that I do virtually but I think the training part like really trying to get in and train train people that is where I don't know if there's plenty of training is virtually but like I said hands on is so important though hands on it's that energy it's that it's part of the prampara so I totally get it but if there's Shala owners out there that are listening Cindy's down to travel thank you for putting that out there um we are over an hour at this point um Cindy I want to thank you so so much for coming on here and explaining um what you know about Hathor and then of course Bryce you bring in your ashanga uh you know
