Hello beautiful souls! As we gather around the sacred space of our podcast, Enlighten and Elevate, it's a moment of heartfelt gratitude and reflection on a year of spiritual camaraderie. This special installment is enriched by the presence of Andy, a fellow Reiki master and dear friend, whose journey through his own spiritual awakening weaves a tale of discovery and empowerment. Our shared memories of Reiki training set the backdrop for a candid exchange about the nuances of distance healing, the awakening of psychic abilities, and the transformative power of recognizing one's past lives.
Have you ever felt the delicate balance of energy within your fingertips, or wrestled with the unseen boundaries between the mundane and the mystical? My own experiences with Reiki and the supernatural reveal the necessity of setting 'office hours' to navigate the challenges of psychic work, and the way my own practice is influenced by the vibrant energy of a paranormally active park. The conversation blooms with insights into the contrasting dynamics of distance versus in-person healing sessions and the invaluable practice of energetic hygiene, underlining our commitment to a life enriched by spiritual guidance.
As we close this chapter, we turn our attention to the profound role spirituality can play in managing anxiety and emotional health. I unfold my personal encounters with the HALT BS system, offering listeners a compass for identifying the roots of their unease, and introduce the ALTER system as a beacon for emotional regulation. Our discourse also spans the respectful engagement with the supernatural, emphasizing the importance of education and discernment in spiritual practices.

Speaker 1:
Hello everyone, Welcome to another episode of Enlighten and Elevate. We have a real special episode today. I have my friend, Andy, with me. We went through Reiki master training together, got our certification. He is a friends and family practitioner and I did a Reiki distance session for him recently. So we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about Andy's experience with Reiki and some of his experiences with the supernatural. So, Andy, welcome. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Speaker 2:
Thank you, kelly, much appreciated. Let's see where to start. I have been doing Reiki for my friends and family and whoever's open to it for probably about five years now, actively. But I have been seeing and hearing and feeling and being with the elements and supernatural and psychic abilities and all those lovely gifts that the universe provides us, basically since I was five and kind of just learned my own way until I got formal training around the age of 22. And kind of just learned my own way until I got formal training around the age of 22. So I've kind of just made my own out of it and shared what I could with others who were open and willing.
Speaker 1:
Awesome. Well, andy, should we start with talking about the Reiki distance session we did together? Yeah, so recently I did a Reiki distance session for Andy and so for the people listening who are thinking, how can you do Reiki through distance? Well, you can do Reiki through distance because Reiki is a universal life force energy and we all are connected to it. So through intention and another person you have to have someone's permission and they want to be willing you can send them healing through the quantum field and it's actually a really beautiful experience when you work in someone's energy. So I worked in Andy and I got all of these beautiful messages for him. I kept hearing. When I talked with him, I kept hearing restless, restless.
Speaker 1:
That was when I first started and I was working in your crown, in your third eye. I got that Well, and this actually makes sense the more that now I have learned about you. But you have very clear seeing and when you are unclear, to ground in, you know ground in your energy and kind of cleanse your energy. And then in this life you have been working on speaking your truth and standing in your power that you are very safe this lifetime, because I was actually shown when I was in your throat. That's when I was shown that you were hung as a witch in a past life, yeah, and then you can release any sort of fear around that, if that is anything that you're still carrying with you In your heart. I got that you are enough, you are so loved and cherished and then actually, that you don't really realize how incredibly powerful that you are. Just your presence, like you just have this beautiful energy that just radiates. You don't even have to try, you just are and you just do. And when you walk in, like the energy of the room shifts, people around you shift. I'm sure you've probably noticed this before. So before when I was setting up the session because I use chakra stones and other crystals I have a lapis lazuli sphere and I definitely felt like it wanted to be part of it and I didn't understand at the time of setting it up why.
Speaker 1:
But when I was in your solar plexus, that's when it became clear that you had had a past life in Egypt and that you were a high priest and that symbols of Egypt and there's the sacred knowledge that is held in that time period and in those symbols mean a lot to you and that you can definitely take things from that. That's just kind of what I was gathering from that. That's just kind of what I was gathering and I know that your guides, they believe that in the future you will work in spirit like you're going to start a business and you're going to be super good at it because you're just really amazing and connected. And let's see here in your root oh, this is where I got that, because you're definitely very solid in your safety and you're solid in your energy I just got that you are possibly going to be leaving the state that you would, in the future, be placing roots elsewhere.
Speaker 1:
That's what I got when I was in the root that you're going to be placing roots elsewhere and that, like, your family will be sort of helping you with this. That you're worthy and deserving of love and all this life has to offer. You are safe, strong, resilient and that, no matter what comes your way like you're, like that tree you don't break, you just bend, you just weather what comes your way. I think we all sometimes need those reminders that we are powerful and to stand in your power, that you're just magnificent. Again, reiterating, studying Egypt's sacred symbols, because they hold so much meaning for you, knowing that you are loved and you are just so bright and you bring so much needed light to the world, and to believe in yourself. That was like my closing thing, but yeah. So what was it like for you when I sent that energy your way?
Speaker 2:
So it was very interesting. So, in regards to the distance session, to help myself get into a field to assist when you are performing Reiki, even on a person in person, you obviously want to make sure that they are calm and they are settled, so I wanted to be in that headspace as well. So that way I had to benefit as much as I could from the experience. So I wanted to be in that headspace as well, so that way I can benefit as much as I could from the experience. So I ended up going on to an app called the Insight Timer and I ended up listening to about a 60-minute guided meditation about restorative healing. And as I am listening to this guided meditation, I can feel your guides and your team and just your energy in general working with mine and kind of tuning me up, if you will. So it's like when you were talking about my third eye and psychic seeing, I felt myself kind of sit up in my bed where I can like my feet are still connected to my body but I can still turn around and I'm seeing myself, so to speak. But then I'm seeing hooded figures and I'm seeing your team working with me and like my team is working with me and like everybody's kind of tuning me up, and it was a really cool experience. And then it's like I see this old woman come out of nowhere and this old man come out and I can definitely be like hey, with like, obviously you want to double check your sources. So it's like asking them for validation of hey, are you who you say you are? Because obviously you want to make sure that everything is very consensual and everybody agreed. And so the message that I ended up getting for you from the lady and the man collectively was that you are enough. What you are doing is miraculous, you are doing the right path and you're on the right path finally, and you are going to continue to go down this path and learn so much more than you can even imagine. And then the other message I got was actually more related to you and your teaching style.
Speaker 2:
When it comes to children, husbands or even fellow practitioners, when you're trying to share your story, comes to children, husbands or even fellow practitioners, when you're trying to share your story or trying to share your experiences or teach others about your experiences. The man was very religious in his lifetime and there's an old Bible verse that I don't remember the actual verse, but the scripture says train up a child in the way they should grow. And to me that resonates as we are teaching the next generation about energy and there are obviously. You want to make sure there are boundaries. You want to make sure that they are doing it in a loving manner of love and life. You don't want to cause any negative or low vibration to come forth in their respective practices. And that's all. Through teaching correctly and what you are doing with, let's say, your own children or with others, when you're teaching them about Reiki or what is Reiki, you're doing it in such a positive way that you're on the right path.
Speaker 2:
So just to continue going for that, when you're working in my different chakras, for that, when you're working in my different chakras, such as the heart, where it's like you are enough, you are worthy, I just felt like an overly presence of warmth, as if I was getting coddled in a weighted blanket. When you were working in my root, I got very much pins and needles type of feeling, as if like roots were coming out of my feet and grounding me down, and it was very interesting because it was like I'm standing in my power. I'm very much here and now, in the present moment, and it was very hard for me not to be elsewhere in the ether because, as the Aquarius that I am, I love flying but I couldn't. It was like I was very much tethered to the ground, but that's because you were working on my route at that time and then there was like pins and needles and just interesting sensations throughout. But the biggest experience that I had was receiving that message from your two loved ones and then having that somewhat half out of body experience of, okay, cool, I'm seeing more than I normally do.
Speaker 2:
And then, just so that your viewers are aware, my natural abilities are just since I was about four or five, due to an unforeseen circumstance in my life which has turned into a marvelous thing, opportunity and miracle, if you will, I am able to see, hear, taste, smell, all of my sense of kind and heightened where I can communicate with people who have passed on, and I have been able to help people cross over. I've been able to cleanse out a house. I've been able to sense the energy before anybody else really does or get a vibe of the room. If you will sense the energy before anybody else really does, or get a vibe of the room, if you will. I'm very empathic and I do work with spirit quite a bit, not just in the mind's eye of like a motion picture running through my head, but also like as I'm seeing you now sitting across from me in your physical, human form. That is how I'm also seeing spirit.
Speaker 2:
You may be a little bit see-through sometimes you may not be, but the thing that I've learned, at least with my abilities I'm only able to do any of that if spirit consents to showing me or letting me have that opportunity. So it's up to their discretion because, like any relationship, there is a give and take. So if spirit comes to me and is like a giant blob, but I can hear them clearly, that's all they're willing to. Let me see, hear whatever. But if they come to me in the physical form, where it's like I see their top hat, I could see that they're in a vest of some sort and I could pick out oh, they're from the Victorian era, that's what they're willing to show me. So it's up to their discretion what they want to show me or tell me or see, and I'm just the vessel that is protruding this information like a computer and processing it and spitting it out to whoever needs it, or processing the information to help them as well.
Speaker 1:
That's amazing and I wanted to follow up with Andy did validate the past lives that I was shown. Andy has had a past life regression, which I did not know about until I sent you. I did a voice recording for him about all the messages that came through and the things that I saw and he confirmed he has had a past life regression and he was a high priest in Egypt and he was hung as a witch a high priest in Egypt and he was hung as a witch.
Speaker 2:
In a life. I have a very strong connection to the King Tut era or King Tutamun King Tut for short, as the most common people around nowadays know him as, but basically from him all the way to his great-grandfather-esque territory is when my Egyptian lifeline happened to be, according to my past life progression and yes, you are correct, I was a high priest and I was very much into learning about the stars, learning about the energy, helping the Pharaoh being the right hand man, providing information as needed and stuff of that nature. So you are very much correct. Symbols and literature and being very analytical were kind of like the takeaways of that particular time period.
Speaker 2:
And then, as for the witchy area of being hung, I've actually had a few experiences in my life about being that, but the one that I honed in on when you told me about this was very much like the Salem witch trial era, but it was not here in the United States, it was on the European continent territory, but I was still hung nonetheless, and it was only because I was at that time different and people couldn't accept the change because I didn't conform to the social norms, but I did have a very much a herbologist, alchemist type of feel where it's like, yeah, okay, the doctor wants to do XYZ to a patient. I'd rather just give you a bowl of tea and see how that does for you instead and take a more holistic approach. And that caused me to Later down the road.
Speaker 1:
I like how you just did that. I just wanted to bring that in, but it was a really cool experience to experience that with Andy. And then it's also really cool to obviously it's always nice, when you are seeing things and getting messages, to have it validated by somebody else and it resonated for you and it made sense. So thank you for letting me work on you and be in your energy. It was lovely. Of course was lovely and of course, it was a really cool experience. So you all heard a little bit about Andy and his gifts.
Speaker 1:
So, andy, let's talk a little bit about your experience we could talk about with Reiki, which often includes the supernatural or just the supernatural in general. Whatever you feel called to share with the audience. I'm sure a lot of people listening have had experiences. I think that's really common. I mean, in a way, if you are not trained in energy or in Reiki, or there's so many healing modalities where these things come into play, where you have just a greater awareness of what's going on around you and you're more in flow, more tapped in, maybe you want to talk about some of your experiences or I don't know. Let's just see where. What do you feel called to share during our conversation today? Absolutely.
Speaker 2:
So for me in general, I basically with working with spirit and working with my team. I protrude with basically office hours, if you will, because obviously you don't want to get overwhelmed or bombarded by spirit or spirits being. Where I happen to live, I'm next to a park that is very much active in the paranormal realm of multiple portals, spirit realms, a lot of people who have passed away fairies, gnomes, nymphs, elementals, you name it and I pretty much have worked with it. But they have all learned that I do have office hours. I don't mind helping them. I set up my sacred space, I open up circle within my own sacred ceremonial space that I have in my house, and then I just work with the energy as they need to, whether it's answering a question, transferring them over to their next point of their cycle of life, so to speak, passing on a message to a loved one, it really just depends, and it's very much case by case With my abilities.
Speaker 2:
It does take a toll on me at times, which is why I have the office hours, but then I also use our natural gifts and abilities in connecting to source to recharge, for example, like going out for a walk in nature or meditating under a super full moon or meditating on a new moon to call in different things to help me. New moon, bring in the balance, bring in the new energy, a fresh start, if you will. Super full moon, bring in that water, bring in that flow, bring in that like lovely, kind of like a babbling creek. It's very rejuvenating but yet peaceful, right. So it's just, I use different elements to help me kind of calm myself down. And even as a practitioner yourself, you know that, like for distance Reiki, you can get so much. But then when you're doing Reiki in person, you get a little bit more deeper into everything because you're close by, you don't have to use so much energy to go so far away.
Speaker 2:
And again, it's all about intention. Obviously, right, everything is through intention. If your attention is positive or good, it's all about intention. Obviously, everything is through intention. If your attention is positive or good, the session is going to be good, or at least helpful for that matter. But in my respective practice I've always gotten more of a hit, if you will, more information, when I'm doing in-person Reiki versus when I'm doing a distance session as a practitioner, or even when I am the in-person Reiki versus when I'm doing a distance session as a practitioner or even when I am the actual client Having a distance Reiki session done on me, like you and I did. There was a lot of great information, but now I'm curious how much information is going to be presented if we did a session in person. So that would be something for a different episode to figure out. A part two, if you will, I love that that's a great suggestion.
Speaker 1:
Yes, and then we can kind of talk about how it's different in person versus distance, correct?
Speaker 2:
So then for me it's like with my own respective practice. Like Kelly said, I am a friends and family practitioner, so to speak. So if my friends approach me saying, hey, can you, something seems off, can you figure it out, because I've exhausted all of my options, I will do a session on you or I will walk into your house and be like, hmm, with obviously their consent. Some of my friends know that I'm mystical and super Reiki and energy and very psychic and I can see stuff. Some people only know me as an empath and I just feel shit. Some people don't know at all. It just depends on how you're associated with me. But across the whole spectrum and board, people still come to me because they feel safe, b, they feel loved and, c, they get results. So it's one of those situations where it's like they don't know how I do it, they don't know why I do it, but if it works, it works. So they just keep coming back. I don't charge for anything right now because I'm still getting attuned and I want to like. It's just something I like to do. It's a hobby, if you will. For now it's something that I enjoy. I love working with people, I love helping people. It's one of the things that makes my heart flutter, and so that's one of the things of like.
Speaker 2:
For the past 12 years, I work in healthcare and I've done a multitude of different jobs. Currently I'm human resources and I get to help both my residents and my employees with their personal problems or their insurance questions or anything of that nature. But then I also have an opportunity, with their consent, even on an energetic level, to work with their energy if they want me to. There are some times where it's like I feel really sad today and then it turns into a therapy session. Well, how can I help you have a seat? Let's have a conversation, like you and I are doing right now, and by the end of it they feel tremendously better. And then here am I just like trying to see where the energy is and figuring out, and then I can provide suggestions hey, maybe have a green apple, maybe go for a walk, things that I'm being told or called to by their team, them oblivious that I'm having another third conversation, so to speak. But it's one of those situations where it's like, hey, if their team and their guides and their higher well-being is saying, yes, that to me is a form of consent. Obviously, if I feel called to do a message, then I explain to them hey, I happen to be psychic. This is kind of what I do. I do have a message for you and it's your choice whether you want to say yay or nay. And 95% of the time they always say yay because they're always like, hmm, I wonder, sure, so yeah, and like, working in the field that I do, I have residents who pass away.
Speaker 2:
They still come to my door because they're lost and confused. Hey, why is my body sitting in the kitchen table? And I'm standing here. I'm very confused and then it provides me an opportunity. Well, I'm sorry you passed away. Is there somebody you would like me to call to help your body, so to speak? And it's usually a nurse or a family member. And I usually have to relay that unfortunate, bad physical news. But I always turn it into a positive experience of like, look, I'm terribly sorry to inform you, but X, y and Z happened. However, they are no longer in pain and suffering. Please be aware that they are. I sense that they are happy and they want you to know that, and then it's usually a comfort and relief for the family.
Speaker 1:
Absolutely Well, Andy, you have these really cool acronyms Do you want to talk about?
Speaker 2:
them. Yes, so when I am doing actual Reiki session on a person, and even when I'm having a conversation with somebody, or even for myself, I deal with anxiety and depression. These particular acronyms are universal in the sense of across multiple belief systems, multiple religions, and it's just a really cool way to think about life, if you will. Yes, so the first one I'm going to talk about is called the altar system. In the pagan religion, christianity religion, islam, hindu, shikism, some cultures believe in creating an altar or a sacred space, physically for sacred relics or objects, and so I took the letters of the word altar, so A-L-T-A-R, and turned it into an acronym that would, in theory, help a protection or a person move on, and you can change the language as you see fit to fit your own respective belief, and I'll give you an example. But in the general sense, to deal with a situation, a middle of transitions, when life kind of throws you that curveball, you can use the alter system, which means that A stands for ask the universe to take whatever it is and make it good for your highest good. Then you have L let it go, be willing to let it go, don't dwindle on something, because then your brain is just going to consistently race on it. And who wants that? Because that can also lead to anxiety if your brain is constantly racing all the time. Then you have T, which is trust and transform. As a practitioner, you know that energy can never be destroyed, but it can be changed or transformed into something better for their highest good, its highest good, universe's highest good, whatever it may be. So T is for trust and transform, a is for acceptance Accept that whatever the situation is is not yours to carry. So sometimes when I'm working with a client and they have a heavy situation going on, whether it be divorce or something their heart chakra, for example, could be very much like cracked, and I have to remember that, I accept that it is not my burden to carry and I cannot take it personally whatever emotions I happen to feel while I'm trying to assist the client. And then the last one is R, which is release it. So whatever I'm working with and whatever my emotions is after my session, I release all of it because it no longer serves me, it's no longer mine and I transform it to the highest good and leave it alone. So the way that it can kind of counteract across the time and across different beliefs and religions is for me, for example.
Speaker 2:
I come from a Christian background, so then I took a Christian approach to the altar method and I changed A for, instead of asking universe to take it, ask God. L again is for let it go. T is for trusting God will use it for your highest good. A is for accept it for not to carry, for it's not yours to carry. A is for accept it for not to carry, for it's not yours to carry. And then R is still release it. So it's just putting an association or a name of whoever you worship, whoever you believe in, sure, what resonates with you, correct what resonates with you to that acronym. So in my particular thing, I just you do your universe and release it that way.
Speaker 2:
The other thing that I've learned over my own experiences, as well as my career in working with energy and being in the field that I've been in and having the gifts that I have and being attuned to all these different things and growing my knowledge in that field of quantum physics and energy, is called the HALT-BS system. Physics and energy is called the HALT-BS system. Now the HALT-BS system is used for risk management.
Speaker 2:
You are at risk for a bad experience or a low vibration experience, or a not necessarily the best experience, if you will, when you happen to have or be in the queue of halt, bs so halt.
Speaker 2:
Obviously is H-A-L-T, and then obviously, bs, so halt is when you are hungry, angry, lonely, tired, bored or sad. So if you are any of those things that I just mentioned and you can recognize oh, I'm hungry, I'm tired, alone, I'm sad, I'm upset, I'm bored you can rewire your brain so that you are not in a state of being able to be manipulated that much, being able to have a bad experience, being able to feel things that you probably don't want to feel. As somebody who suffers from I shouldn't say suffers as somebody who deals with anxiety and depression, because you know language matters Language always matters and depression, because you know language matters, language always matters, wording changes everything. I have learned that using the HALT system has actually, at least for me, benefited in having less anxiety attacks, because I recognize that when I'm having an anxiety attack, it's usually because I'm either bored, I'm lonely, I'm angry at a situation, I'm hungry, and once one of those needs are met and I recognize what need needs to be met, the severity of what I'm dealing with weakens.
Speaker 1:
You're going to be making a clearer or seeing things clearer, making a better decision. So a lot of what you're talking about, I think, is states where you're often in fight, flight, fight, flight, freeze or fawn right. So you're in like overdrive and when you're in those systems, your vagus nerve.
Speaker 2:
Yes, your vagus nerve is completely eradicated. So when you can recognize the HALT-BS method, then you can also apply the ALTER method to correct that or at least damper the side effects, that your vagus nerve is not going tenfold or your vagus nerve is lost, or if you have been in a state like I've been for a while, in a state of fight, flies, freeze, etc. You have to relearn how to use your vagus nerve, reamp it, because it could go dead. Absolutely, your vagus nerve could die. But you can bring it back to life and when you do, trust me from personal experience, it is a struggle, but using the HALT method or using the ULTRA method or a combo of both can help in the healing process as well, absolutely.
Speaker 1:
It's just getting ways to regulate your nervous system when you fall into these patterns, and there's a lot of, there's lots of ways Reiki can help with it. There's different types of breathing Wim Hof, left nostril breathing. There's so many Box breathing. Yes, there's so many healing modalities that address a lot of these things Anxiety meditation, right Meditation can help with just overall wellness and connection.
Speaker 2:
Correct, establishing healthy eating habits, putting in good nutrients into your body. Obviously, you don't want to do something without doing proper research and making sure that, if you are working with another practitioner, gaining their consent, gaining their knowledge understanding what you're getting yourself into before you do it. Don't go, for example, and do something like, let's say, ouija board, just because it's cool and it's on TV. Do your research, because if you're not using it properly, it could ultimately hurt you, whether it's the short run or the long run.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, you need to have a full understanding of what you're getting yourself into and I mean have a healthy sense of respect, right? Because you know it's not a game, it's not. You know when you're connecting with spirit it's not to be toyed with, or you know it's just not meant for that. So I think if you don't hold respect or your intention is not good, correct that the outcome can be very poor.
Speaker 2:
Yes, very much so. It is very much a two-way street, but also a somewhat one-way street. It's a two-way street where respect goes both ways and communication goes both ways, but you also have to do a one-way street where you need respect with yourself, understanding of yourself and be okay with yourself or willing to change.
Speaker 1:
I think that actually is really. That's really beautiful that you said that, because it actually ties into how you started talking about boundaries just having an overall good sense of your energy, doing your energetic hygiene, all those practices, but having clear boundaries and understanding all of that is super important, I think, in life in general, but especially if you're going to be tapping into your sixth sense or any sort of extra sensory perception. Just go into it with respect absolutely and awareness and know that we are powerful and that we set the boundaries you don't have to experience. So it's funny I think about, especially because we're just moving out of the Halloween season.
Speaker 1:
There's so many horror movies and all the scary things and a lot of people think that that's what the experience of the supernatural is and if you go looking for anything, I'm sure you can find it. But my view is, if you're going to work, I think that's just like the lowest level. There's so much more to spirit, right, there's so much more to spirit than, yes, there are earthbound spirits, yes, there's stuck energy or residual energy that is left. Bad things happen. That's why battlefields have certain feelings and energies and it's because that is just what can happen. Or a home that had a murder or what have you, or a lot of abuse. I just think being educated and you can learn about spirit many different ways, but you should definitely do it with somebody who you feel is trustworthy and going to give you good information, and there's so many teachers out there. Find one that you resonate with and correct, and that is who you should learn from.
Speaker 2:
The other thing, even for your listeners, to also contemplate on the sense of learning is yes, you definitely I would recommend getting a teacher If you are interested in figuring out how this all works, make sure they are a reputable source 100%. But you also, if you are not ready to invite another human being to teach you and have like a tutor, for example, books are a wonderful way of going, but make sure, again, it's a reputable source. Joe Schmo can be writing about a clown, like any of those lovely movies that have been popping up lately, but is that an actual, reputable source of how the paranormal is? You gotta look at the author. What have they been through? What are they going through? What are their credentials?
Speaker 1:
Yeah. What is their training? Where is their background? How long have they been practicing Correct? Who did they learn from? Who are their mentors?
Speaker 2:
Correct and you also want to make sure, at least from my point of view is not just sticking to one specific source. If anybody's in the world of academia you know, for any sort of paper you need multiple sources.
Speaker 2:
Peer review, correct Peer review, reliable sources, but multiple reliable sources, absolutely so. If you're going to do a book, multiple different authors. If you're going to have a teacher, maybe do two or three.
Speaker 2:
I know, growing up and being raised the way that I was and learning about my natural gifts, later in my life, later in my adulthood, I had about two or three different teachers that I am very close with and each one has brought me different lessons, different teaching tips, different tricks of the trade, if you will, and then I kind of morphed it into my own as my own teaching techniques, so that way when friends ask me, hey, how did you know that this was going to happen in the house or that was going to happen, or how did you know that the house was haunted, or how did you know that the party was going to get crashed by the cops and you ended up leaving two hours early, it's because I had that success. You ended up leaving two hours early. It's because I had that success, it's because I knew and I trusted myself because of the training I received from multiple different people, multiple different sources.
Speaker 1:
Yes, that's very good advice, Andy. Andy, all these things, all this stuff. So what else would you like to share with the audience? I think what you just said could probably be your closing thoughts, but do you have a message you want to leave with people?
Speaker 2:
I guess my closing thoughts or my last message to the audience is just always be willing to have a curious mind. Be willing to look beyond what you see. Make sure that it is for your highest good. Make sure that it's from a reputable source, or sources which would be preferred. Be willing to ask questions. It never hurts anyone to ask questions. The worst you're going to get for an answer is no Right, which, yes, there is always the fear of rejection, but that in itself is a life lesson to learn, yes, it is. So be willing to ask the questions, be willing to go with a clear point of view and a clear head and, just overall, be willing to continue to learn, continue to be in the mindset of the student.
Speaker 2:
Being here on earth is consistently like being in school. You're always going to have the opportunity to learn. You just have to either seek it out, want it or be willing and open to it. If life decides to slap you with a two by four, it just depends. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, absolutely. But overall, kelly, thank you so much for having me on the podcast.
