00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.890 Linda Marsanico: Hello, everyone welcome to the A trained Sedona.
00:00:54.470 --> 00:00:56.370 Linda Marsanico: I'm Linda Marcannico.
00:00:56.950 --> 00:01:00.929 Linda Marsanico: Today's podcast is going to be different.
00:01:01.370 --> 00:01:03.189 Linda Marsanico: It's just you and me.
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.550 Linda Marsanico: Let me share the agenda.
00:01:08.350 --> 00:01:15.269 Linda Marsanico: I'm going to read from the memoir that I wrote also the A train to Sedona, as many of you know.
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:21.520 Linda Marsanico: I'm going to share some of the work I've done in an elongated biography.
00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:27.600 Linda Marsanico: I'm going to share the story of my book's development, my ups and downs.
00:01:28.610 --> 00:01:31.560 Linda Marsanico: and also some stories about Sedona.
00:01:34.370 --> 00:01:41.719 Linda Marsanico: There is a relaxation exercise that I absolutely love. I call it 4, 4, 8, breathe in 4,
00:01:41.860 --> 00:01:48.280 Linda Marsanico: hold for 4, and exhale for 8, and we can do that to relax. After I tell you some exciting stories.
00:01:50.850 --> 00:01:52.540 Linda Marsanico: I'm going to tell you the story of
00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:56.870 Linda Marsanico: buying a home which I owned for 13 years in Sedona.
00:01:57.960 --> 00:01:59.699 Linda Marsanico: I'm going to read from the book
00:02:00.460 --> 00:02:04.530 Linda Marsanico: at the end of each chapter is a section called Reflections.
00:02:04.770 --> 00:02:06.469 Linda Marsanico: and I'll be reading from that.
00:02:08.139 --> 00:02:10.770 Linda Marsanico: and I'm going to share the way I pray, and
00:02:11.009 --> 00:02:17.209 Linda Marsanico: some of the responses. I've gotten more stories, perhaps a poem.
00:02:19.390 --> 00:02:21.280 Linda Marsanico: and we'll see how much time we have.
00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:28.250 Linda Marsanico: So let me start with the introduction
00:02:30.730 --> 00:02:33.600 Linda Marsanico: to the A. Train to Sedona. I hope you can see it.
00:02:33.770 --> 00:02:40.340 Linda Marsanico: That's Cathedral Rock. By the way, one of the most photographed vortexes in Sedona.
00:02:42.880 --> 00:02:46.659 Linda Marsanico: So I call this finding my heartfelt voice.
00:02:48.380 --> 00:02:53.720 Linda Marsanico: This is a story of my adult life and my spiritual journey.
00:02:54.980 --> 00:03:00.569 Linda Marsanico: IA girl from Queens, eventually transplanted to Brooklyn
00:03:00.700 --> 00:03:03.860 Linda Marsanico: by way of London, Denver, and Toronto.
00:03:05.150 --> 00:03:09.130 Linda Marsanico: In 2,007, I added a home in Sedona, Arizona.
00:03:09.380 --> 00:03:15.220 Linda Marsanico: which I had been visiting twice a year with my Long Island spiritual group.
00:03:16.380 --> 00:03:27.119 Linda Marsanico: the spiritual group was led by a deeply committed woman who cherishes her privacy and so wishes to be identified simply as Anita D.
00:03:27.870 --> 00:03:34.439 Linda Marsanico: For me it was a new experience that lasted 8 years, and continues to grow and develop
00:03:35.700 --> 00:03:40.339 Linda Marsanico: in the social discussions before and after meditations and chanting.
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:46.639 Linda Marsanico: and the energetic healings, I learned concepts I had never heard before.
00:03:47.290 --> 00:03:55.559 Linda Marsanico: At 1st I had no understanding of the ideas described in the group we learned of ascended masters, such as Saint Germain.
00:03:55.860 --> 00:04:00.009 Linda Marsanico: Sanskrit words, Energy, work, avatars.
00:04:00.310 --> 00:04:06.349 Linda Marsanico: Our dedicated moderator, included the wisdom of so many traditions.
00:04:07.620 --> 00:04:15.330 Linda Marsanico: Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Catholicism, Judaism, the stuff of metaphysics.
00:04:15.790 --> 00:04:19.429 Linda Marsanico: global beliefs which I ran through my filter.
00:04:20.940 --> 00:04:25.710 Linda Marsanico: I was a sponge soaking up the principles with this caveat
00:04:26.420 --> 00:04:30.090 Linda Marsanico: ideas embraced must resonate in my heart.
00:04:31.580 --> 00:04:38.530 Linda Marsanico: I was inspired to read many books by original thinkers, Greg, Braden, Lee, Carroll.
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:46.590 Linda Marsanico: Wayne Dyer, Donna Eden Masuro, Emoto, David Hawkins, Tom Kenyon.
00:04:46.930 --> 00:04:54.260 Linda Marsanico: Bruce, Lipton, Neil, Donald Walsh, Gary, Zukhoff, and later Candace pert.
00:04:55.270 --> 00:05:00.700 Linda Marsanico: Truly I was, and remain inspired by these trendsetters.
00:05:01.850 --> 00:05:09.179 Linda Marsanico: My internal metaphysicist was born after the trauma of September 11, th 2,001.
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.760 Linda Marsanico: Many of us would never be the same again.
00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:18.739 Linda Marsanico: I felt bereft, wanting to be part of a group greater than myself.
00:05:19.130 --> 00:05:34.939 Linda Marsanico: This led me to finally join the park slope, food, Co-OP, something I had previously put off because of time constraints, and this became a kind of neighborhood family, a United Nations of diversity and collaboration.
00:05:36.380 --> 00:05:45.030 Linda Marsanico: In September 2,002, Derek O'neill, a prominent motivational speaker from Ireland, gave a New York seminar.
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:59.180 Linda Marsanico: It was my 1st exposure actually to the Higher self meditation, where approximately 150 of us moved up to our higher self to communicate with a loved one.
00:05:59.470 --> 00:06:02.459 Linda Marsanico: I chose my parents, who were alive at the time.
00:06:03.490 --> 00:06:12.000 Linda Marsanico: Through this powerful facilitation I was able to ask a question of each, and to receive a response.
00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:18.499 Linda Marsanico: thereby resolving 2 issues of conflict, I was blown away
00:06:18.900 --> 00:06:24.360 Linda Marsanico: by the possibilities within each of us to reach into a deeper consciousness.
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:35.250 Linda Marsanico: After reading almost all of Neil Donald Walsh's books. It occurred to me that time is an illusion of the ego.
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:41.470 Linda Marsanico: Our many lifetimes, the incarnations that we have are simultaneous.
00:06:42.210 --> 00:06:46.399 Linda Marsanico: What follows from this is that we have intrinsic knowledge.
00:06:47.210 --> 00:06:56.250 Linda Marsanico: Answers are available to us when we cultivate our internal heart to higher self access
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:07.840 Linda Marsanico: at around. The same time I became aware of author and scientist, Greg Braden, who had written that the heart beats to the pulse of the earth.
00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:15.810 Linda Marsanico: At this point I intimately knew that the heart is an important focal point to reach. In our deeper. Knowing
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:22.970 Linda Marsanico: all this new thinking was affecting my own practice as a spiritual coach.
00:07:23.700 --> 00:07:30.089 Linda Marsanico: I remember receiving information from my clients, unconscious processes.
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.369 Linda Marsanico: I would pick up what feels like a ping
00:07:33.490 --> 00:07:37.320 Linda Marsanico: or a sensation in my body when they disavowed a thought.
00:07:38.510 --> 00:07:49.130 Linda Marsanico: This sensitivity was the beginning of my emerging clairvoyant ability, which has continued to develop as I move away from 3rd dimensional angst.
00:07:49.900 --> 00:07:58.330 Linda Marsanico: We are all wired in the same way, and as we move toward compassion, our multisensory self emerges.
00:08:00.750 --> 00:08:06.199 Linda Marsanico: During these 8 years with my spiritual group, there was a lot of emotional work to do.
00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:11.220 Linda Marsanico: I am a baby boomer born after a turbulent war.
00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:19.810 Linda Marsanico: My father, who passed away 11 months after my mother, was a marine who saw the flag go up at Iwo Jima.
00:08:20.570 --> 00:08:24.429 Linda Marsanico: My mother told me my dad was never the same. When he returned from that battle.
00:08:25.370 --> 00:08:29.250 Linda Marsanico: Dad told me that he was both afraid and not afraid.
00:08:29.440 --> 00:08:34.809 Linda Marsanico: He disembarked from an aircraft carrier to ride in a diesel-powered boat.
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:42.250 Linda Marsanico: With his sensitive stomach. He became nauseous and couldn't wait to reach the beach where he could have been killed.
00:08:43.090 --> 00:08:48.319 Linda Marsanico: He stepped onto the sand and discovered a mine 6 inches from his boot.
00:08:50.010 --> 00:09:00.500 Linda Marsanico: although my brother and I were not even born at the time. I remember asking my brother, who was not particularly metaphysical, where he thought we were when Dad almost got killed.
00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:03.889 Linda Marsanico: Quote. We were telling him where to step
00:09:04.110 --> 00:09:07.339 Linda Marsanico: safely. End of quote, he replied.
00:09:09.230 --> 00:09:12.199 Linda Marsanico: well, my journey from a quiet child
00:09:12.400 --> 00:09:19.510 Linda Marsanico: to having a heartfelt voice began in a simple, strict, loving Italian family.
00:09:20.500 --> 00:09:28.230 Linda Marsanico: We later learned that my paternal grandfather's descendants came from Russia, Romania, and Italy.
00:09:29.380 --> 00:09:34.930 Linda Marsanico: I am the eldest of 4 active children, the daughter of a mother who was a homemaker
00:09:35.090 --> 00:09:38.330 Linda Marsanico: and father, who is the son of an entrepreneur.
00:09:39.750 --> 00:09:43.409 Linda Marsanico: My parents instilled in us a strong work ethic.
00:09:44.330 --> 00:09:51.929 Linda Marsanico: My father adored my mother. He cooked and helped around the house, which was a bit unusual for the 19 fifties.
00:09:54.170 --> 00:09:58.330 Linda Marsanico: My challenge was to find my own heartfelt voice
00:09:58.540 --> 00:10:06.350 Linda Marsanico: to create a path to self-expression. In a home where family values were more important than individuality.
00:10:07.330 --> 00:10:22.639 Linda Marsanico: I was raised to be a homemaker and mother, yet I wanted a career as well. There was no role model. There were years of intermittent loneliness and self doubt, lots of support from my family, even though I am regarded as more than a bit
00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:25.509 Linda Marsanico: when they are being kind.
00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:28.440 Linda Marsanico: Other times I have been called
00:10:29.180 --> 00:10:33.789 Linda Marsanico: crazy. I've been told the people don't want to hear what I have to say.
00:10:34.460 --> 00:10:41.439 Linda Marsanico: Well, being Italian, Russian, and Romanian, this is juxtaposed with a lot of love. Oy, they
00:10:42.310 --> 00:10:49.569 Linda Marsanico: basically they haven't understood me and my big mouth I mean my heartfelt voice.
00:10:51.060 --> 00:10:55.749 Linda Marsanico: Now, in this book I share my spiritual journey on the road to compassion.
00:10:56.150 --> 00:11:01.709 Linda Marsanico: My childhood experiences would fill another book, and that effort would be about 500 pages.
00:11:02.300 --> 00:11:06.379 Linda Marsanico: My hope is to share tidbits, to inspire you.
00:11:06.630 --> 00:11:08.860 Linda Marsanico: perhaps to make your journey easier.
00:11:10.160 --> 00:11:19.619 Linda Marsanico: Be determined, as you enjoy the challenges making your way, as a friend told me. Never give up on your dreams.
00:11:20.420 --> 00:11:26.500 Linda Marsanico: I want to add that our dreams are grist for the mill of our co-creations.
00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:31.960 Linda Marsanico: where we work with God to fulfill constructive desires.
00:11:32.540 --> 00:11:35.780 Linda Marsanico: There is no greater partnering than this.
00:11:40.730 --> 00:11:47.839 Linda Marsanico: Well, that's the introduction to the A. Train to Sedona, and now
00:11:48.880 --> 00:11:56.680 Linda Marsanico: we have just a minute or 2 before we break. But I'm going to start talking about
00:11:57.190 --> 00:12:02.530 Linda Marsanico: sort of a biography, an elongated one to let you know more about who I am.
00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:15.030 Linda Marsanico: I write about love, playfulness, visualization, meditation, and stillness as a path to a joy-filled life.
00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:19.890 Linda Marsanico: You can find me@lindamarsonico.com.
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.679 Linda Marsanico: I have over 200 blog posts.
00:12:24.090 --> 00:12:32.590 Linda Marsanico: I have a published article or 2, many podcasts, a soundcloud, 2 soundcloud recordings.
00:12:32.890 --> 00:12:37.880 Linda Marsanico: and you can also sign up for my mailing list on the contact. Linda Page.
00:12:39.850 --> 00:12:45.339 Linda Marsanico: My blog was born in January of 2,013. She's 12.
00:12:47.930 --> 00:12:53.599 Linda Marsanico: My 1st editor, after reading some of my books, said
00:12:53.770 --> 00:12:56.189 Linda Marsanico: You, you must have a blog.
00:12:56.580 --> 00:13:04.430 Linda Marsanico: An author has to have a blog, and I said, There's no way that I want to do that. There's such a commitment to writing all the time.
00:13:04.760 --> 00:13:08.350 Linda Marsanico: and I disregarded her advice, sent the book out.
00:13:09.450 --> 00:13:12.370 Linda Marsanico: and it got rejected again and again and again.
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:20.539 Linda Marsanico: Okay, I need a blog. Linda Marcano needs needs to. Linda Marcannico needs to start a blog.
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:28.320 Linda Marsanico: and it took me about 6 months to decide
00:13:29.350 --> 00:13:34.979 Linda Marsanico: from what perspective I would look at spirituality. It was going to be a spiritual blog.
00:13:36.020 --> 00:13:38.770 Linda Marsanico: After about 6 months I realized
00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:41.249 Linda Marsanico: the focus would be love and compassion.
00:13:41.450 --> 00:13:52.030 Linda Marsanico: For it is my heartfelt belief that when we are loving and compassionate, self-loving, loving of others which creates compassion.
00:13:52.280 --> 00:13:53.720 Linda Marsanico: we are spiritual.
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:05.840 Linda Marsanico: Now we have break up. We have to leave for a break right now, and when we come back
00:14:06.140 --> 00:14:14.199 Linda Marsanico: I'm going to tell you about who I met in Sedona someone that you may know.
00:14:14.800 --> 00:14:18.300 Linda Marsanico: So off we are to the break, and we shall return.
00:16:09.400 --> 00:16:14.870 Linda Marsanico: I was muted, and now I'm unmuted, and I can speak through my heartfelt voice.
00:16:15.630 --> 00:16:18.560 Linda Marsanico: In 2,000 around 2,005
00:16:18.870 --> 00:16:24.549 Linda Marsanico: I had the pleasure of meeting David Hawkins, Md. Phd.
00:16:24.780 --> 00:16:26.250 Linda Marsanico: In Sedona.
00:16:26.630 --> 00:16:29.879 Linda Marsanico: He was revered during his lifetime
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.109 Linda Marsanico: for his work, for his energy.
00:16:33.330 --> 00:16:39.949 Linda Marsanico: His most noteworthy book is power versus force, and I highly recommend it.
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:43.620 Linda Marsanico: You produce many videos.
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:47.519 Linda Marsanico: And he also talked about muscle testing.
00:16:47.640 --> 00:16:56.570 Linda Marsanico: And in his book he has the protocol for muscle testing where you hold your arm out, and when you state a truth, your muscles stay strong
00:16:56.830 --> 00:16:59.699 Linda Marsanico: when you speak in untruth, the muscles
00:17:00.290 --> 00:17:03.560 Linda Marsanico: are weak and and the arm collapses.
00:17:07.730 --> 00:17:12.640 Linda Marsanico: I showed him a paper where I had quoted him immensely.
00:17:13.050 --> 00:17:18.999 Linda Marsanico: and he took a copy of it, and was very gracious. His energy radiated
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:23.299 Linda Marsanico: when he passed in 2,012 we were heartbroken.
00:17:26.010 --> 00:17:37.730 Linda Marsanico: Another project was co-writing with Michael O'brien Brown. He blogs for the Huffington Post, and he said, Linda, this is the title I'm suggesting. When intelligent people do stupid things.
00:17:37.940 --> 00:18:02.659 Linda Marsanico: cracked foundations, the void and the magic of breathing. I thought stupid things. I couldn't relate to calling people or not calling them stupid, but saying they do stupid things. So I called a spiritual friend. What do you think of this title? And she said. I think it's very funny, Linda, go ahead and write the article, and so I did. I wrote it, and it was well received.
00:18:03.990 --> 00:18:10.500 Linda Marsanico: I also interviewed Michael. He's a published author, and, as I said, he blogs for Huffington Post.
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:16.480 Linda Marsanico: The interview on my blog is August 3, 2,015.
00:18:16.930 --> 00:18:20.360 Linda Marsanico: The article is on my media page.
00:18:21.830 --> 00:18:28.330 Linda Marsanico: you can find it on Media. But it was published August 16, th 2,016, on Huffington Post.
00:18:29.580 --> 00:18:36.420 Linda Marsanico: I also did an article for spiritualphiz.com building the muscle of meditation.
00:18:37.970 --> 00:18:45.610 Linda Marsanico: When we want to build our bicep, we go to the gym, and we practice. We don't practice, we repeat.
00:18:46.340 --> 00:18:54.090 Linda Marsanico: with the weights again and again to build the muscle. The same thing is true with meditation, in order to become
00:18:54.370 --> 00:18:59.919 Linda Marsanico: more proficient in order to get into the meditation more easily, we practice.
00:19:00.530 --> 00:19:02.799 Linda Marsanico: So it's an interesting article. If you
00:19:03.170 --> 00:19:05.959 Linda Marsanico: want to look@spiritualphys.com.
00:19:06.310 --> 00:19:16.500 Linda Marsanico: So at the beginning. Now, I was in 2 podcasts. And frankly, I don't remember which came first.st So Emilio Ron interviewed me about balancing life
00:19:16.820 --> 00:19:23.049 Linda Marsanico: as a career as a woman who had a family and a career.
00:19:23.850 --> 00:19:31.110 Linda Marsanico: and we also talked about the importance of bringing the unconscious to conscious for behavior change.
00:19:31.330 --> 00:19:38.690 Linda Marsanico: We talked about having younger selves within us that we can communicate with them to develop joyful selves.
00:19:39.540 --> 00:19:42.629 Linda Marsanico: We talked about the answers being inside of us.
00:19:44.490 --> 00:19:47.150 Linda Marsanico: the importance of collaboration in my work.
00:19:53.250 --> 00:20:04.169 Linda Marsanico: and I had this concept, which I still do of updating the program in your brain, the computer program in your brain by changing attitudes and behaviors.
00:20:04.630 --> 00:20:11.569 Linda Marsanico: And I have a 4 stage model for change. One. Know what you're thinking. 2. If
00:20:11.760 --> 00:20:25.710 Linda Marsanico: know what your habitual behavioral responses are, and if you don't like those 2, you go in, and you plan to change them for the thinking. You go in and plant a more graceful, kind way
00:20:26.080 --> 00:20:27.510 Linda Marsanico: to speak to yourself.
00:20:28.050 --> 00:20:32.289 Linda Marsanico: And then we look at issues from childhood. We don't dwell there.
00:20:32.760 --> 00:20:36.140 Linda Marsanico: but we want to understand the influences from childhood.
00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:39.789 Linda Marsanico: The 4th is meditation and mantra.
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:43.280 Linda Marsanico: very important tools for the toolkit.
00:20:43.510 --> 00:20:47.029 Linda Marsanico: and also letting go of what doesn't serve you.
00:20:48.810 --> 00:21:03.639 Linda Marsanico: There is an ebook that I have called compassion in my own words, and if you go on Google. And you put in Linda Marcannico compassion. In my own words, you get to a place where you can download it for free.
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:09.580 Linda Marsanico: So the other podcast I did 8 years ago. We're talking
00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:22.889 Linda Marsanico: is with Neo Mayo Davila, also known as neopositivity, and he speaks of thoughts, become things. He was recently on my show a couple of weeks ago.
00:21:24.290 --> 00:21:33.330 Linda Marsanico: and on that podcast I talk about my spiritual beginnings, my openness to explore metaphysical possibilities.
00:21:33.930 --> 00:21:42.400 Linda Marsanico: and in thinking of spiritual coaching. When you bring 2 people who are very interested in
00:21:42.620 --> 00:21:51.130 Linda Marsanico: collaborating on their growth, you receive, you get involved rather in a an art form.
00:21:51.710 --> 00:21:53.190 Linda Marsanico: It's beautiful.
00:21:55.590 --> 00:22:01.030 Linda Marsanico: Then there's Candace Pert, who talks about the body being the unconscious
00:22:02.310 --> 00:22:06.379 Linda Marsanico: and her book The Molecules of Emotion, is amazing.
00:22:06.840 --> 00:22:08.610 Linda Marsanico: So when we disavow
00:22:08.840 --> 00:22:16.499 Linda Marsanico: an experience, it gets sent to our body, we send it to our body, and after a while, if we're disavowing and disavowing.
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:23.350 Linda Marsanico: we get aches and pains, and we're very uncomfortable, and it can lead to illness.
00:22:32.040 --> 00:22:38.899 Linda Marsanico: Now with neo neopositivity, I shared a quote from Saint Germain.
00:22:39.260 --> 00:22:47.659 Linda Marsanico: and this quote goes like this, thoughts and feelings are living, pulsating things.
00:22:48.180 --> 00:22:51.900 Linda Marsanico: and we have to understand that we are creating.
00:22:52.060 --> 00:23:11.679 Linda Marsanico: And is it? And it's coming back to us. So we have to understand that we are creating. And it's coming back to us. And this is kind of in line with one of the concepts that I developed, that we are broadcast journalists that from our thoughts and feelings and actions we send out energy
00:23:12.100 --> 00:23:20.100 Linda Marsanico: all the time consistently, and then, of course, everybody feels that energy, and of course, that energy
00:23:20.390 --> 00:23:23.730 Linda Marsanico: attracts like energy and comes back to us.
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.550 Linda Marsanico: And also in the podcasts. With Neo.
00:23:30.990 --> 00:23:36.370 Linda Marsanico: I share Merlin's statement that we can use our wands.
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:45.449 Linda Marsanico: This magic to create what we want and the using of the wand and the magic has to do with our intention to create.
00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:59.770 Linda Marsanico: So in the a train to Sedona. I talk about ways to clear the cobwebs so that readers can co-create their constructive desires.
00:24:01.040 --> 00:24:07.389 Linda Marsanico: We talk about divine right timing, taking in what resonates.
00:24:07.540 --> 00:24:11.009 Linda Marsanico: And of course I am a Reiki master, and I use
00:24:12.010 --> 00:24:16.369 Linda Marsanico: integrated energy and vortex with my clients to relax them.
00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:21.350 Linda Marsanico: and that it's all about healing, taking care of the Temple.
00:24:28.800 --> 00:24:40.710 Linda Marsanico: That's my work biography, and I wanted to share something about
00:24:41.050 --> 00:24:45.740 Linda Marsanico: writing the book, as I mentioned in my heartfelt voice introduction.
00:24:46.060 --> 00:24:55.450 Linda Marsanico: when I was involved with Anita's spiritual group. I had such an experience that I wanted to share it. It was so special.
00:24:59.960 --> 00:25:04.949 Linda Marsanico: and when I sent the book out and got rejected. I was inspired to start my blog.
00:25:06.370 --> 00:25:11.389 Linda Marsanico: but the book was written in 2,010 to 2,011,
00:25:11.690 --> 00:25:18.470 Linda Marsanico: and I remember in 2016 I had a telepathic communication. Now we all receive
00:25:19.300 --> 00:25:25.329 Linda Marsanico: communications in different ways. For me. It comes around like a quiet ticker tape.
00:25:25.840 --> 00:25:29.970 Linda Marsanico: and I heard this is not the time for your book to be published.
00:25:30.430 --> 00:25:33.620 Linda Marsanico: Well, I must tell you I was very disappointed.
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.830 Linda Marsanico: but in my faith I worked it out for myself.
00:25:38.150 --> 00:25:41.110 Linda Marsanico: and knew that at some time it would be published.
00:25:43.370 --> 00:25:47.329 Linda Marsanico: It wasn't until about 2,021
00:25:47.470 --> 00:25:50.159 Linda Marsanico: that Jared Rosen came into my life.
00:25:50.840 --> 00:25:54.239 Linda Marsanico: and Jared is a book whisperer.
00:25:55.010 --> 00:26:02.289 Linda Marsanico: because when I look back on the book that got rejected again and again, it was very dry and and technical, and
00:26:03.060 --> 00:26:13.839 Linda Marsanico: people were not receiving it. Well, the editors were not receiving it. Well, so Jared inspired me
00:26:14.270 --> 00:26:21.070 Linda Marsanico: to tell stories, and I must tell you I didn't realize how many stories I had in my experience.
00:26:21.550 --> 00:26:32.979 Linda Marsanico: And so the book that you see now, if you should purchase it is very different from the original book that I wrote in 2010. It's more interesting. It's funny, it's informative.
00:26:33.420 --> 00:26:37.830 Linda Marsanico: There's more of myself, and my experience breathed into it.
00:26:44.050 --> 00:26:53.020 Linda Marsanico: So from 2,001 right after 9 11, I started going to Sedona
00:26:53.330 --> 00:27:01.550 Linda Marsanico: with my spiritual group. Anita had the spiritual group, and we went, and I must tell you that I
00:27:03.230 --> 00:27:08.460 Linda Marsanico: never heard of Sedona before, never
00:27:08.570 --> 00:27:16.290 Linda Marsanico: everybody now, and I asked my friends. Oh, yes, I from the sixties. One of my friends went there in the sixties, and anyway.
00:27:16.430 --> 00:27:18.020 Linda Marsanico: I see that
00:27:18.840 --> 00:27:24.949 Linda Marsanico: Gwendolyn Green Lindbergh, said Linda. You are not odd. We love you. Thank you so much, Gwen.
00:27:29.010 --> 00:27:30.609 Linda Marsanico: So he went to Sedona.
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:37.289 Linda Marsanico: I was struck by the beauty.
00:27:38.530 --> 00:27:45.890 Linda Marsanico: The red rocks are huge, ever-present.
00:27:47.450 --> 00:27:51.699 Linda Marsanico: and the energy not not everyone feels the energy.
00:27:53.120 --> 00:27:58.930 Linda Marsanico: But I did, and a lot of the group did as I mentioned.
00:27:59.450 --> 00:28:01.090 Linda Marsanico: I felt like I'm high.
00:28:02.890 --> 00:28:12.279 Linda Marsanico: And with the emotional work that we started doing, I was knocked out, absolutely knocked out. Sleep early up early
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.580 Linda Marsanico: working on ourselves. Going to the vortexes
00:28:20.140 --> 00:28:30.570 Linda Marsanico: and the main vortexes for me are Bell Rock, which is this huge bell of Orange Rock, hugely beautiful
00:28:31.630 --> 00:28:37.760 Linda Marsanico: airport which I'm going to tell you a story about. I hope we have time to do that, Schnebley.
00:28:37.980 --> 00:28:55.130 Linda Marsanico: which is such a name to pronounce Schnebly. Now Schnebley is Sedona Schnebley's last name. Sedona is a woman who was an early pioneer in the early 18 hundreds, and her last name was Schnebley, and I must tell you
00:28:56.360 --> 00:29:00.890 Linda Marsanico: it is said, and I must tell you. In my opinion this is so.
00:29:01.280 --> 00:29:04.280 Linda Marsanico: that alien ships land in Schnebley.
00:29:04.950 --> 00:29:08.460 Linda Marsanico: in fact, alien ships are all over Sedona.
00:29:12.450 --> 00:29:17.630 Linda Marsanico: and, as I mentioned before, Cathedral Rock is the most photographed.
00:29:17.900 --> 00:29:20.989 Linda Marsanico: But I have to. I think that Bell Rock is my favorite.
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:34.389 Linda Marsanico: As I mentioned, the energy is amazing. It's electric. I often feel high, and when we come back I'm going to tell you a story about
00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:36.360 Linda Marsanico: what happened to me one day.
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.219 Linda Marsanico: We're off to a break now.
00:31:16.360 --> 00:31:25.479 Linda Marsanico: Welcome back everyone to the A. Train to Sedona. I'm Linda Marcannico. I'm thinking of Sedona. I must feel high.
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:27.639 Linda Marsanico: The story
00:31:29.550 --> 00:31:36.589 Linda Marsanico: I had to drive to Bell Rock, because Bell Rock is in the village of Sedona, not in Sedona.
00:31:37.500 --> 00:31:39.359 Linda Marsanico: main part.
00:31:40.350 --> 00:31:42.650 Linda Marsanico: So I came back from the
00:31:42.900 --> 00:31:47.740 Linda Marsanico: walk and the meditation. I'm up by myself. I get into my car.
00:31:47.900 --> 00:31:56.870 Linda Marsanico: It's the summer. My driver's side window is open and my glasses were somewhere. I don't remember exactly where they are. They were.
00:31:57.260 --> 00:31:58.980 Linda Marsanico: See, I'm still feeling high.
00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:02.889 Linda Marsanico: The glasses came off my body.
00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:13.110 Linda Marsanico: They went out the window and they fell to the ground, and very simply and literally.
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:15.870 Linda Marsanico: Universe was telling me.
00:32:16.410 --> 00:32:24.249 Linda Marsanico: ground yourself before you get to driving in your car. Because, of course, we know that driving is such a big responsibility.
00:32:24.660 --> 00:32:26.580 Linda Marsanico: so I felt very taken care of.
00:32:27.820 --> 00:32:35.210 Linda Marsanico: Now the second story has to do with a trip I took with the spiritual group
00:32:35.330 --> 00:32:38.270 Linda Marsanico: at a time of a severe drought.
00:32:40.260 --> 00:32:57.849 Linda Marsanico: and we heard stories. Now Sedona is surrounded by vast trust lands. There are mountain lions, there are so many there's so much wildlife. Anyway, we come into Sedona. We hear stories of the coyotes encroaching on
00:32:58.430 --> 00:33:01.860 Linda Marsanico: residential areas, eating dogs and cats.
00:33:02.710 --> 00:33:09.090 Linda Marsanico: So Anita took us to airport vortex, which is right in town, and it's dusk.
00:33:09.570 --> 00:33:13.359 Linda Marsanico: and we're sitting 7 of 7 or 8 of us.
00:33:14.100 --> 00:33:21.000 Linda Marsanico: We're sitting, and we're meditating, and Anita has some music going very quiet, and I hear.
00:33:21.350 --> 00:33:26.410 Linda Marsanico: ruckus, I hear what I say to myself is.
00:33:27.250 --> 00:33:33.160 Linda Marsanico: people are howling and kicking up and having a very good time. They're getting ready for a party.
00:33:33.940 --> 00:33:38.440 Linda Marsanico: So we continue to meditate, and all of a sudden Anita says.
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:46.210 Linda Marsanico: Let's go now, and because we trust her implicitly, we picked up our blankets, and we ran to the car.
00:33:47.470 --> 00:33:52.900 Linda Marsanico: The coyotes were getting ready to attack us. They were getting up their energy to just
00:33:53.410 --> 00:33:59.920 Linda Marsanico: ascend, because they were in a lower part airport has this big, deep plunge.
00:34:01.170 --> 00:34:10.690 Linda Marsanico: So the next day Anita spoke to a native American Shaman, we said to her, I had a vision
00:34:11.080 --> 00:34:13.550 Linda Marsanico: that last night you were almost dinner.
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:17.029 Linda Marsanico: so it's always good to remember
00:34:18.570 --> 00:34:20.679 Linda Marsanico: that Sedona has a wild side.
00:34:22.389 --> 00:34:28.290 Linda Marsanico: So after that very exciting story, I thought that we would do a little relaxing.
00:34:28.949 --> 00:34:31.279 Linda Marsanico: so get into a comfortable space.
00:34:32.110 --> 00:34:34.360 Linda Marsanico: and just for a few minutes
00:34:34.909 --> 00:34:38.979 Linda Marsanico: I'm going to suggest if you don't want the
00:34:39.340 --> 00:34:42.770 Linda Marsanico: exercise. If you don't wish to relax, you can go take a break
00:34:43.600 --> 00:34:50.460 Linda Marsanico: cup of tea. I have water with lemon, which I love so much, anyway. Sit comfortably and
00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:54.690 Linda Marsanico: breathe in. So we're going to do. Breathe in for 4.
00:34:54.960 --> 00:35:14.170 Linda Marsanico: Hold for 4, exhale for 8, breathe in 2, 3, 4, hold 2, 3, 4, exhale 7, 6, 5,
00:35:14.340 --> 00:35:18.420 Linda Marsanico: 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:36.310 Linda Marsanico: Breathe in 2, 3, 4, hold 2, 3, 4, exhale 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, again.
00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:44.949 Linda Marsanico: breathe in 2, 3, 4, hold 2, 3,
00:35:45.050 --> 00:35:54.770 Linda Marsanico: 4, exhale. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. I'm ascending and descending.
00:35:55.610 --> 00:36:12.450 Linda Marsanico: Breathe in 2, 3, 4, hold 2, 3, 4, exhale 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 again
00:36:12.600 --> 00:36:19.190 Linda Marsanico: to you're you're breathing in for hold. 2, 3, 4,
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:27.880 Linda Marsanico: exhale. 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 1 more time.
00:36:28.210 --> 00:36:42.410 Linda Marsanico: Breathe in 2, 3, 4, hold 2, 3, 4, and exhale 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
00:36:44.450 --> 00:36:45.210 Linda Marsanico: Wow!
00:36:46.220 --> 00:36:50.300 Linda Marsanico: There's a blog. I did about that. A more recent one breathing.
00:36:50.570 --> 00:36:54.410 Linda Marsanico: It's from December or November
00:36:54.850 --> 00:37:00.299 Linda Marsanico: where I describe more about building blocks of time, so that you can relax yourself.
00:37:00.470 --> 00:37:06.669 Linda Marsanico: I often do that before a broadcast. I'll breathe for a couple of minutes, and it really is wonderful.
00:37:07.040 --> 00:37:13.950 Linda Marsanico: It's all about slowing the heart down and lowering your blood pressure.
00:37:18.450 --> 00:37:24.760 Linda Marsanico: I loved Sedona so much that I purchased a home in 2,007.
00:37:25.130 --> 00:37:30.499 Linda Marsanico: It was in 2,005 that I wanted to buy a house, but
00:37:30.690 --> 00:37:34.419 Linda Marsanico: I wasn't successful. It was a seller's market.
00:37:34.630 --> 00:37:39.970 Linda Marsanico: Prices were up so high, and houses were scooped up like that.
00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:48.749 Linda Marsanico: I made 2 bids, and they were rejected, and I gave up in disappointment, and I said.
00:37:48.870 --> 00:37:51.550 Linda Marsanico: Why can't I have a house? It's a simple thing.
00:37:51.700 --> 00:38:00.750 Linda Marsanico: I sort of got irritated with God, and I let it go, and out of the blue.
00:38:01.210 --> 00:38:04.609 Linda Marsanico: My realtor, who became a dear friend. Lynn Easterday.
00:38:07.550 --> 00:38:14.460 Linda Marsanico: showed me the pictures of 2 homes, so I flew out to Sedona.
00:38:14.750 --> 00:38:17.259 Linda Marsanico: The 1st one required work.
00:38:17.580 --> 00:38:18.420 Linda Marsanico: Brooke.
00:38:18.640 --> 00:38:23.949 Linda Marsanico: Renovation from a distance of New York, didn't appeal to me. Well, the second house
00:38:24.250 --> 00:38:26.630 Linda Marsanico: was the most perfect house for me.
00:38:26.930 --> 00:38:30.460 Linda Marsanico: We stayed in the house for 2 2 h.
00:38:32.740 --> 00:38:36.310 Linda Marsanico: I loved it, made a bid and bought it.
00:38:37.130 --> 00:38:43.520 Linda Marsanico: and it was my happy place for 13 years now. Why didn't I get to buy the house immediately?
00:38:44.500 --> 00:38:49.040 Linda Marsanico: I learned what was important to me. I wanted to be in West Sedona.
00:38:49.260 --> 00:38:53.179 Linda Marsanico: where I could walk to town walk to airport vortex.
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:59.090 Linda Marsanico: I needed to develop faith and patience.
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:09.000 Linda Marsanico: and the house wasn't available until 2,007. I think the prior owner bought it in 2,005 scooped it up.
00:39:09.640 --> 00:39:14.070 Linda Marsanico: and it was available to me in 2,007.
00:39:18.540 --> 00:39:20.569 Linda Marsanico: So now I'd like to read
00:39:23.890 --> 00:39:25.290 Linda Marsanico: 2 stories
00:39:31.470 --> 00:39:33.649 Linda Marsanico: which I think you'll find interesting.
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:41.120 Linda Marsanico: They're from the A. Train to Sedona, and here it is.
00:39:41.570 --> 00:39:44.080 Linda Marsanico: Driving has been a source of adventure
00:39:44.240 --> 00:39:51.279 Linda Marsanico: and challenge over the years. I rented a garage space that serves 12 vehicles
00:39:51.500 --> 00:39:55.520 Linda Marsanico: because of a narrow entry. I had to back into the space
00:39:55.960 --> 00:40:00.620 Linda Marsanico: one summer night after 10 PMA large private garbage truck
00:40:00.870 --> 00:40:04.839 Linda Marsanico: followed me. As I turned the corner onto my street.
00:40:04.990 --> 00:40:10.710 Linda Marsanico: My goal was to stop on the left of the street, to then back up and into my car stall
00:40:11.380 --> 00:40:16.810 Linda Marsanico: an unusual entry that I never quite enjoyed in the 19 years of my Residency.
00:40:17.120 --> 00:40:21.049 Linda Marsanico: Now this is an edited version of a blog post. I wrote
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:27.840 Linda Marsanico: June 24, th 2,019, and you can find it on the blog page@lindamarsenico.com.
00:40:28.910 --> 00:40:33.170 Linda Marsanico: I stopped on the left as I planned and opened the garage door.
00:40:33.490 --> 00:40:40.249 Linda Marsanico: The garage. I always say this. It's the garbage truck stopped, too, right behind me.
00:40:40.540 --> 00:40:46.520 Linda Marsanico: only as I backed up. The driver wouldn't budge to allow me the space I needed.
00:40:47.180 --> 00:40:50.180 Linda Marsanico: I tried once more, with the same result
00:40:51.370 --> 00:40:57.809 Linda Marsanico: on some level. I was afraid, because of the late hour, and because the driver could not be seen.
00:40:58.370 --> 00:41:05.440 Linda Marsanico: Intimidated as I was, it was necessary for me to get out of my car on the dark, quiet street.
00:41:05.980 --> 00:41:08.779 Linda Marsanico: I needed to ask for the driver's help.
00:41:09.530 --> 00:41:15.430 Linda Marsanico: I reached past my fear into my heart, smiled, and motioned
00:41:15.970 --> 00:41:22.229 Linda Marsanico: to him through my speaking and gesturing. He understood what I needed, and he backed up.
00:41:22.510 --> 00:41:25.470 Linda Marsanico: giving me the required space.
00:41:26.660 --> 00:41:31.320 Linda Marsanico: I felt such a relief as he drove off.
00:41:31.450 --> 00:41:36.089 Linda Marsanico: We waved goodbye like friends who just completed a task.
00:41:36.660 --> 00:41:44.189 Linda Marsanico: I felt grateful for his cooperation, which reminded me that we have the ability to make space for the other.
00:41:44.390 --> 00:41:47.639 Linda Marsanico: negotiating the many situations we encounter.
00:41:47.990 --> 00:41:53.319 Linda Marsanico: we can make life easier, stretching to communicate and accommodate.
00:41:54.020 --> 00:41:57.560 Linda Marsanico: As the driver and I demonstrated that evening
00:41:57.700 --> 00:42:04.889 Linda Marsanico: he became more flexible, and I more compassionate, a most pragmatic transition.
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:12.549 Linda Marsanico: My next example at the same garage had the opposite effect.
00:42:12.900 --> 00:42:16.929 Linda Marsanico: Before getting to the garage, I had attended a dinner party
00:42:17.410 --> 00:42:25.339 Linda Marsanico: where one guest, aggressively to win a point, maintained a position that denied a personal stance of mine.
00:42:25.990 --> 00:42:37.999 Linda Marsanico: I gently gave this person examples of ways in which I've balanced my values in a nuanced way. Yet this person was unrelenting and wouldn't acknowledge these subtleties.
00:42:38.290 --> 00:42:48.090 Linda Marsanico: I hadn't realized how blocked I felt about this disregard for my sensibility until I got to the same garage at around the same time of night.
00:42:49.290 --> 00:42:52.870 Linda Marsanico: where a car was parked directly in front of the entrance.
00:42:53.600 --> 00:42:55.920 Linda Marsanico: I pulled up alongside of his car.
00:42:56.420 --> 00:43:03.449 Linda Marsanico: The driver, a middle-aged man, was slow to advance. Once I gestured that I needed him to move.
00:43:03.810 --> 00:43:09.799 Linda Marsanico: he pulled up, and I didn't think he left me enough room to back up.
00:43:10.730 --> 00:43:14.490 Linda Marsanico: I flicked my low beam lights repeatedly
00:43:14.690 --> 00:43:17.060 Linda Marsanico: in the effort to have him pull up further.
00:43:17.850 --> 00:43:20.140 Linda Marsanico: My anger was palpable.
00:43:20.710 --> 00:43:29.010 Linda Marsanico: He didn't budge or say anything. As I continued flick my lights, he put on his hazards.
00:43:29.630 --> 00:43:32.970 Linda Marsanico: I felt the anger with each depress of my light lever.
00:43:35.260 --> 00:43:37.589 Linda Marsanico: I finally caught myself, took a breath.
00:43:38.780 --> 00:43:45.309 Linda Marsanico: reevaluating the distance I needed to back into my garage and successfully drive into my stall.
00:43:46.950 --> 00:43:47.850 Linda Marsanico: And I did.
00:43:49.240 --> 00:43:54.919 Linda Marsanico: I had felt blocked by the dinner guest as well as the driver.
00:43:55.430 --> 00:43:58.500 Linda Marsanico: This burst of negativity surprised me.
00:43:58.620 --> 00:44:00.680 Linda Marsanico: and seemed to come out of nowhere.
00:44:01.240 --> 00:44:09.490 Linda Marsanico: There it had been lurking in my unconscious. Each cell in my body was charged with anger, and my energy radiated negativity.
00:44:09.850 --> 00:44:17.659 Linda Marsanico: Once I understood my feelings, I was able to breathe and calm myself, acted differently in these 2
00:44:17.790 --> 00:44:20.479 Linda Marsanico: very similar situations.
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:26.750 Linda Marsanico: I was calm and resilient in my response to the driver in the private garbage truck.
00:44:27.050 --> 00:44:33.809 Linda Marsanico: Not so in the action, in the interaction with the man whose car blocked my entrance to the garage.
00:44:34.770 --> 00:44:45.329 Linda Marsanico: Why, in this situation, lurking in my unconscious was the anger I hadn't consciously recognized, and this unknowingness
00:44:45.540 --> 00:44:49.640 Linda Marsanico: sabotaged my ability to be compassionate with this driver.
00:44:50.410 --> 00:45:00.939 Linda Marsanico: This example demonstrates the power of the unconscious mind to motivate our behavior and the importance of bringing the unconscious mind into conscious thinking.
00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:06.610 Linda Marsanico: So I failed to be on to be compassionate here. But the gift
00:45:06.810 --> 00:45:11.850 Linda Marsanico: to me was that I realized the importance of bringing unconscious to conscious.
00:45:12.170 --> 00:45:17.600 Linda Marsanico: because if we don't, the unconscious motivates us without much control from us.
00:45:18.210 --> 00:45:22.589 Linda Marsanico: so I see that we have to take a break now, and we will be back
00:45:23.970 --> 00:45:27.170 Linda Marsanico: with another story that I think you're going to like very much.
00:47:01.350 --> 00:47:02.720 Linda Marsanico: Hello, everyone!
00:47:02.850 --> 00:47:05.460 Linda Marsanico: Welcome to the A. Train to Sedona.
00:47:05.650 --> 00:47:07.379 Linda Marsanico: This is Linda Marcannico.
00:47:08.270 --> 00:47:12.260 Linda Marsanico: I have another story to tell you. This one is in the book.
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:20.270 Linda Marsanico: Some years ago I was in a living in a condo which had 3 families.
00:47:20.790 --> 00:47:24.400 Linda Marsanico: A family on the 3rd floor became pregnant.
00:47:25.780 --> 00:47:28.720 Linda Marsanico: They had the baby and put their baby carriage
00:47:28.980 --> 00:47:37.309 Linda Marsanico: right outside my door, so that when I opened my apartment door, 3 feet ahead of me was their carriage.
00:47:38.470 --> 00:47:45.300 Linda Marsanico: I asked them. Could you put the carriage in the outer vestibule, or
00:47:45.630 --> 00:47:52.209 Linda Marsanico: some steps up to the upper vestibule, the the landing?
00:47:52.580 --> 00:47:54.040 Linda Marsanico: And they refused.
00:47:55.160 --> 00:48:02.070 Linda Marsanico: I spoke to the mother, who was enjoying being a new parent. I spoke to the father separately.
00:48:03.250 --> 00:48:08.730 Linda Marsanico: They did not move the carriage in my
00:48:08.910 --> 00:48:12.650 Linda Marsanico: rigid stance, because I was so angry. I never
00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:20.050 Linda Marsanico: offered to move the carriage for them, to fold it up and bring it to the outer vestibule or the landing.
00:48:22.940 --> 00:48:25.820 Linda Marsanico: So for months we were in conflict.
00:48:26.370 --> 00:48:27.980 Linda Marsanico: Small building.
00:48:28.130 --> 00:48:33.870 Linda Marsanico: The energy was negative. I was unhappy, they were unhappy.
00:48:34.180 --> 00:48:37.869 Linda Marsanico: It was a very unpleasant situation.
00:48:40.250 --> 00:48:48.300 Linda Marsanico: I think, an angel whispered in my ear with the phrase, I am a Bodhisattva.
00:48:48.650 --> 00:48:59.519 Linda Marsanico: and a Bodhisattva is a person on the path to enlightenment. Now I'm not enlightened. I am working on the path to enlightenment. So I began to say.
00:49:00.950 --> 00:49:02.140 Linda Marsanico: Amabadisatr.
00:49:02.590 --> 00:49:12.180 Linda Marsanico: I am a Bodhisattva. I am a Bodhisattva. I come in from work and see the carriage in front of my door. I am a Bodhisattva. I am a Bodhisattva. I am a Bodhisattva.
00:49:13.510 --> 00:49:14.940 Linda Marsanico: and they moved the carriage.
00:49:17.510 --> 00:49:19.569 Linda Marsanico: So my interpretation of that
00:49:20.540 --> 00:49:28.109 Linda Marsanico: is that the energy of love is so powerful, it opens doors. It's a catalyst that they felt that.
00:49:29.490 --> 00:49:33.659 Linda Marsanico: and they were moved. I never saw the carriage in front of my door again.
00:49:34.510 --> 00:49:39.779 Linda Marsanico: and later we became friendly, and Mary forgave me. I forgave her.
00:49:40.010 --> 00:49:47.260 Linda Marsanico: and she wrote me a Christmas card one year. Oh, what a lovely neighbor you are. It was wonderful, but love was the catalyst.
00:49:48.810 --> 00:49:54.889 Linda Marsanico: So we have some time, and I'm going to read
00:49:55.600 --> 00:50:00.590 Linda Marsanico: from a section in the book called reflections.
00:50:00.990 --> 00:50:02.890 Linda Marsanico: It's at the end of every chapter.
00:50:03.310 --> 00:50:08.720 Linda Marsanico: So I would write the chapter, and Jared said, I want to hear some reflections afterward.
00:50:10.740 --> 00:50:11.899 Linda Marsanico: so let me read.
00:50:15.250 --> 00:50:18.209 Linda Marsanico: I love reaching into my intuitive self
00:50:18.700 --> 00:50:23.090 Linda Marsanico: as I've written. It's developed over time with patients.
00:50:23.690 --> 00:50:25.949 Linda Marsanico: The voice of Creator is subtle.
00:50:26.390 --> 00:50:31.150 Linda Marsanico: and the intuitive sensibility is important for connecting in this way.
00:50:32.500 --> 00:50:39.030 Linda Marsanico: Years ago I wore my music headset before the ipad ipod. Excuse me.
00:50:39.300 --> 00:50:41.459 Linda Marsanico: as I fast walked in the park.
00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:46.410 Linda Marsanico: Loud music truly motivated me to move and groove.
00:50:46.530 --> 00:50:53.270 Linda Marsanico: but I could not hear the birds, or really listen to the sounds of nature.
00:50:54.090 --> 00:50:57.880 Linda Marsanico: After a time I received a telepathic communication
00:50:58.630 --> 00:51:02.769 Linda Marsanico: from universe to leave the headset at home.
00:51:03.700 --> 00:51:07.249 Linda Marsanico: Since then I walk or ride in the park without devices.
00:51:07.500 --> 00:51:12.590 Linda Marsanico: a kind of walking or riding. When I'm on my bike meditation.
00:51:13.040 --> 00:51:19.690 Linda Marsanico: I sense my surroundings, see the beauty of nature, and hear the birds sing.
00:51:20.570 --> 00:51:26.899 Linda Marsanico: This connection inspires, nurtures me, and complements my physical activity.
00:51:27.450 --> 00:51:35.299 Linda Marsanico: I become part of the family of Flora, which is the grass and the trees and the fauna, the animals
00:51:35.810 --> 00:51:38.640 Linda Marsanico: and fellow humans being
00:51:45.620 --> 00:51:49.559 Linda Marsanico: another section from reflections.
00:51:52.470 --> 00:51:55.589 Linda Marsanico: I'm excited to live in this magical world.
00:51:55.700 --> 00:51:59.180 Linda Marsanico: where we entertain the organic and multidimensional.
00:51:59.730 --> 00:52:08.040 Linda Marsanico: where a particle becomes a wave, where protons think, and the rhythm of nature flows with its flora and fauna.
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:10.010 Linda Marsanico: infinite variety.
00:52:10.170 --> 00:52:16.319 Linda Marsanico: We are affected by hidden dimensions, and possess an inner wisdom which is waiting to be developed.
00:52:16.540 --> 00:52:21.519 Linda Marsanico: It is said that we have access to pure awareness through muscle testing
00:52:22.290 --> 00:52:25.890 Linda Marsanico: with the map of consciousness. And that's from David Hawkins.
00:52:26.110 --> 00:52:28.400 Linda Marsanico: We observe consciousness itself.
00:52:28.760 --> 00:52:31.840 Linda Marsanico: We are quantum. The stuff of universe.
00:52:31.990 --> 00:52:36.139 Linda Marsanico: The salt water in our cells is changed by sound.
00:52:36.510 --> 00:52:42.260 Linda Marsanico: The universe lives within us and we live within universe. Wow!
00:52:42.640 --> 00:52:48.200 Linda Marsanico: Isn't it amazing that we are such an integral wave in this quantum world.
00:52:50.560 --> 00:52:58.550 Linda Marsanico: It is also amazing that our chakras ring with a sound from A to G on the musical scale. I don't hear that myself.
00:52:59.410 --> 00:53:03.720 Linda Marsanico: but some people like my former hairdresser can hear them.
00:53:04.090 --> 00:53:06.829 Linda Marsanico: I learned that from him. Oh, he said one day.
00:53:07.150 --> 00:53:13.839 Linda Marsanico: you're really in a good place. I hear your chakras what I said.
00:53:15.050 --> 00:53:17.819 Linda Marsanico: so only then did I learn that the water
00:53:18.380 --> 00:53:25.160 Linda Marsanico: in our bodies is saline. I was astounded that the oceans and our cells share this quality.
00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:27.170 Linda Marsanico: What is it about salt?
00:53:27.610 --> 00:53:30.139 Linda Marsanico: As adults? We are 70% water.
00:53:30.350 --> 00:53:37.470 Linda Marsanico: And the earth is 70% water. What did Creator have in mind when designing the similarity?
00:53:51.490 --> 00:53:58.509 Linda Marsanico: The work of forgiving this is another reflections. The work of forgiving and accepting is a complicated challenge.
00:53:59.870 --> 00:54:02.189 Linda Marsanico: apt material for your focus.
00:54:03.130 --> 00:54:06.519 Linda Marsanico: Think of this as a marathon rather than a sprint.
00:54:06.950 --> 00:54:14.499 Linda Marsanico: Be patient interactions with others, help you to look in the mirror so that you are poised to ask
00:54:14.740 --> 00:54:16.939 Linda Marsanico: what this can teach you about yourself.
00:54:17.410 --> 00:54:19.400 Linda Marsanico: What can you see about yourself?
00:54:20.330 --> 00:54:31.180 Linda Marsanico: Seeing yourself clearly is a gift born out of the discomfort of discovering unconscious material, discovering something new.
00:54:31.870 --> 00:54:34.800 Linda Marsanico: Think of the lotus that grows from the mud.
00:54:34.970 --> 00:54:38.329 Linda Marsanico: the beauty which emerges from muck!
00:54:39.830 --> 00:54:43.720 Linda Marsanico: I remember letting go of a situation that was nagging at me.
00:54:44.890 --> 00:54:48.759 Linda Marsanico: Later that day I took the subway to Soho
00:54:48.920 --> 00:54:51.840 Linda Marsanico: in New York City for an appointment
00:54:52.060 --> 00:54:59.520 Linda Marsanico: noticeable to me was my sharper focus and clarity in finding my way not usually an easy task.
00:54:59.670 --> 00:55:05.649 Linda Marsanico: I attributed this clarity to my clearing the issue earlier in the day.
00:55:06.680 --> 00:55:10.580 Linda Marsanico: Having resolved the concern, I lifted its negative impact.
00:55:11.160 --> 00:55:15.940 Linda Marsanico: I remember feeling excited about my lightness of being
00:55:16.180 --> 00:55:22.350 Linda Marsanico: and about my ability to negotiate the streets in Manhattan. These are moments of joy
00:55:22.790 --> 00:55:32.380 Linda Marsanico: where I mark my progress and know I am moving forward on the Yellow Brook road. I remember viewing Dorothy's joyful face as she made her way to Oz.
00:55:33.260 --> 00:55:36.530 Linda Marsanico: Now we have about 3 min until we
00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:39.760 Linda Marsanico: close, and I wanted to read a poem
00:55:42.810 --> 00:55:46.959 Linda Marsanico: that I wrote during Covid. It was in 2020.
00:55:48.010 --> 00:55:52.360 Linda Marsanico: I call it tale of a city-state.
00:55:55.080 --> 00:56:00.670 Linda Marsanico: Now, remember, it's in 2,020. We are at the beginning of what we all experienced.
00:56:00.850 --> 00:56:04.369 Linda Marsanico: There was an old city who lived in a situation
00:56:04.700 --> 00:56:13.180 Linda Marsanico: she had so many citizens who were dying in hospitals and homes. She did know what to do from the churches and the schools to the few
00:56:13.350 --> 00:56:22.750 Linda Marsanico: shelter at home, she said, as the virus blew the house down and people huddled, afraid, and exposed, be safe in shelter.
00:56:23.630 --> 00:56:27.650 Linda Marsanico: Yet the people grew restless, even rebellious, from boredom.
00:56:28.030 --> 00:56:33.530 Linda Marsanico: You see, the city was built on rock and roll, the New York Times, the Daily News.
00:56:33.700 --> 00:56:38.420 Linda Marsanico: The city is proud, yet New Yorkers have a heart.
00:56:38.740 --> 00:56:41.750 Linda Marsanico: They can and have come together.
00:56:42.390 --> 00:56:44.799 Linda Marsanico: The city is grateful, not dead.
00:56:45.050 --> 00:56:50.189 Linda Marsanico: The city is the home of King Kong and the Delhi planet Batman and Captain America.
00:56:51.200 --> 00:56:57.149 Linda Marsanico: We are superheroes with masks, gloves, and ppe.
00:56:57.720 --> 00:57:05.279 Linda Marsanico: I am counting the ways that I love thee, O New York, the city of my birth and my residence we shall overcome.
00:57:08.370 --> 00:57:10.180 Linda Marsanico: and there's 1 other one
00:57:15.140 --> 00:57:16.740 Linda Marsanico: we have. About a minute.
00:57:18.660 --> 00:57:36.390 Linda Marsanico: The time goes slowly. I've seen people wonder what day it is. Yet the time flows so quickly, moving through space as though on a superjet. How do we pass the days during COVID-19 confinement we spend time reflecting, zooming, phoning, eating, exercising, letting go of fear.
00:57:36.640 --> 00:57:47.160 Linda Marsanico: Sunlight produces longer days, yet the sun doesn't reach my cheeks under the mask which sometimes hurts my ears. My hands are cleaner than they've ever been
00:57:47.260 --> 00:57:53.530 Linda Marsanico: caressed by cream and dreams of health and freedom. I forget to wear bracelets, because I am mostly at home.
00:57:54.080 --> 00:57:59.909 Linda Marsanico: I give thanks for my shelter, food, love, my work, family, friends, and the air I breathe.
00:58:00.230 --> 00:58:07.869 Linda Marsanico: for I could not live without these. Yet I ponder, what will the new normal look like when we round the corner of spring to summer?
00:58:08.190 --> 00:58:12.620 Linda Marsanico: I yearn for joyful surprise as this unfolds.
00:58:15.670 --> 00:58:19.869 Linda Marsanico: Well, I've enjoyed this intimate conversation.
00:58:20.150 --> 00:58:27.579 Linda Marsanico: We are ready to close next time. I have a wonderful guest, Tiffany Canno, who's an empath.
00:58:28.010 --> 00:58:35.710 Linda Marsanico: She's funny, joyful. I think we're going to have a very, very good time bye, for now.
