I am your host, Carrie Mugs, and today we are going to talk about the most way or the most spiritual thing that you can do right now. So a lot of people are going through their awakenings. A lot of people are going through spiritual frequencies, upgrades, downloads, all this kind of stuff. And it is fun. And once you start to get the hang of it, or once you start to understand what the downloads are, and once you start to kind of communicate with spirit, it is awesome. It really is. But I want you to know that the most, sometimes it's almost like addicting. And so you want more and more and more, which is great. But at the same time, sometimes you can move too fast, and sometimes it can overwhelm you. So today we're going to talk about the most spiritual thing that you can do right now. And I'm going to give you five different steps of five different things that can help you be more spiritual right now. So here's the thing, I know we want to be up, up, up, and we want all this like, extremely, you know, woohoo, aha, moments. But sometimes just being us is the most spiritual thing we can do because sometimes we get so involved in the past, sometimes we get so involved in the future, sometimes we get so involved in what's going on around us. And sometimes we get so involved in what's going on outside of us, spiritually. And we want to connect to that. And honestly, the most, the best thing that you can do for your spiritual growth is to be you, to be yourself, to be authentically you. And don't try, I mean, it's good to have, you know, mentors, and it is good to kind of look and see what other people are doing. But you got to do you, you've got to be what you want to be, especially on a journey, a spiritual journey, because no journey is the same for everybody. No, there's no, there's no this is how it works. There's no instruction manual, everyone is different. So there's lots of people that I know that love to do meditation. There's lots of people that love to do breathwork. There's lots of people that do plant medicine. And there's I, and there's just some that like to kind of just focus on their own what they what they have inside of themselves to get get to that point. Because honestly, if you think about it, the goal is to be in that one state that oneness state that state of beautifulness, the oneness that when you feel connected, and sometimes you can get during do that during meditation. Sometimes you can do that during breathwork, plant medicine. But I would always feel it mostly when I was running. It's the craziest thing. And that's how I connected in mine. So I don't know if it's because of the way I was breathing, or because I was in a meditative state at the time to when you run. But running for me was my connection, my biggest connection. And now I can just kind of easily get into it when I do readings, is I can sit in the power automatically. But I had to practice that when I was running. And a lot of people out there are going to be able to are going to be like, well, I feel mostly connected when I run, some people will. And so you have to do you you have to be authentically yourself. So I followed a bunch of other mediums. And they some of them would be like, you have to do this, this, this, this, like it had to be a list, I even went to a class. And they wanted me to do structure my readings a certain way. And it just didn't work for me. That's not how I worked. So you have to just kind of put everyone else aside and be authentically you on how you connect, on how you serve on how you have frequency raises, because everybody is completely different. So this is something that you just have to ask yourself, where do I feel connected? Where do I feel at peace? Where do I feel one with with the universe with God with source? Where do I feel like I most like me? And it isn't when you're trying to be like somebody else. And it isn't when you're trying to do what other people do to connect. Now, there are things that can help you connect. But some of them can work for you and some of them can't. So I love to use Oracle cards. Some people don't. I don't love to row cards. Some people do. I don't like to use the ruins or a pendulum. But some people do. So you just kind of go on your own because your journey is going to be different than somebody else's. So you can take ideas from people and you can, you know, kind of try different things, but you have to kind of know what works best for you. And also to you have to remember that there's lots of modalities. And there's lots of and by modalities, I mean, there's lots of different ways you connect. You could connect breathwork meditation, I've said all of that. But ultimately, you have everything you need already inside of you. And I do not know how many times I've told people this. I if you follow me or have followed me for a long time, you know that that I strongly, strongly say you always have what you you already have what you need inside of you. It's like it's like a bird or an eagle trying to put on glasses to help them see better or trying to find maps to know where the best food is. It's already instinctly, instinctly inside of them. They already know they don't need a faster backpack. They don't need glasses to help them see their prey on the ground. So we can, we already have everything we need. All the other stuff is just to help or to assist us. But honestly, trust yourself, trust you. And that's what you can do that can help you be just be you be you. And I know some people are like, Well, I don't feel like I belong here. I don't feel like I am needed here. I don't feel like this is me. But you know what? This is what you chose. I know that that's hard. But before you came here, this is what you chose. We have our free agency. We have our free will. And this is what you chose to do. So you need to honor you. You need to honor what you chose. And you need to figure out how you can be happy here or how you can find happiness here. Because I know sometimes the world can be cruel. And it can be beautiful at the same time. So some of you are like, I just don't feel like I belong here. I don't want to be here. And I'm telling you right now. Yes, you do. Because once you once you draw that line, and once you're going to be disappointed in in how you reacted to that or how you what I'm trying to say is I've had spirits come through. And they've said, I didn't want to be here. So I chose to do this. And this is hard because I don't want to like, I don't want to like demean anybody because I spirits have reasons why they do things. And I don't know the answers to everything. But some spirits do come back ones that maybe have taken their own lives and said, I wish I could have finished, I wish I would have finished. It's not that they're they're who the ones are hard on themselves. No one is judging them. They are still beautiful and spirit and they're still on the other side and they're in heaven. And but they themselves say, I just wish I wouldn't have I wouldn't have had all this fear. I wish I wouldn't have, you know, I didn't understand that I wanted to do this. And so that's what I'm just telling you, you're here because you chose to be here. So honor that honor that and try and figure out what on earth makes you happy or how you can how you can finish this journey in a happy in a happy way or in a joyful way. And are you going to be happy all the time? No, it's not 24 seven, but but growth with with spiritual growth comes comes this when you get to the other side, it's beautiful and it's wonderful. So another way the second way to to be the to be the most spiritual right now is to be in the now be in the now. So I do this all the time. If you're in the past, you're worried about what happened in the past. If you're trying to figure out the future, you're you're you have anxiety about what's coming in the future. I did this this weekend. So I had a really big weekend. We found out that someone in our family is expecting a baby around September. And we also found out someone of our children got engaged to be married in September. So I went down that road, I went down that because I have big plans for my business in September. So I went down the holy crap. What are we going to do? How are we going to do this? And I was so anxious about what was coming up for the year and how I was going to do this and how I was going to figure it out that I didn't realize I forgot to just be in the now be in the now and enjoy enjoy that we're going to have another baby added to the family. Enjoy that the engagement and all the fun stuff that's going to come with it. I need to enjoy the journey because if I'm too stressed out about what's going to happen in the future, then it ruins it. It ruins the journey. I can't just keep thinking about what comes next, what comes next. And I got to tell you a funny story about this and hopefully my kids are fine with this, but I don't ever give my kids readings ever because I don't want my it's too much mother's intuition. But this year I did. I gave my kids readings on the first of the year. I did a the year reading that I posted on my Instagram, the circle thing. And for the one that was having a baby, I said, I think you're going to have a baby this year. And she's like, no, I don't think so. I don't it maybe be down the road. But then two days later, she's like, yep, you're right. I just took it pregnancy test and I'm pregnant. And then the daughter who the child who got engaged, I said, I think there's going to be a wedding or a proposal. And they're like, no way, no way, we are not doing that. He then they actually did get engaged this weekend. But he had planned it before and he was worried because when it came up in the reading, he thought I was going to give it away. So it was kind of fun. But so that just tells you too, I've been told you're not supposed to read. I've been taught that you shouldn't read for your family or friends. And that made me realize that's not true. I need to be true to myself. People teach things that sometimes aren't entirely true. And sometimes they are. So when you learn things, just make sure that you or when you're trying to up your frequency, just make sure you're true to you and what feels right with you. Okay. So the way that you can be in the now is to one, breathe and focus and remember to just enjoy right now, enjoy the moment. And also to ground, I have been grounding every day. I live in Idaho Falls. So a lot of times I can't go outside and ground, put my feet on the grass. I do that in the summer. But this in the winter time, you can't. So I have a grounding mat that I use every day that I sit on or meditate on for 20 minutes. So use a grounding mat. If you if you don't, you can find them on Amazon. I think they're in my Amazon store. I can link one down at the bottom in the show notes, but grounding is good. Also meditation, meditation teaches you to be in the now. So sometimes you're not going to have all these great aha moments during meditation. But what it'll teach you is to be in the now. So when you are in the now, you can connect to spirit because here's the trick or here's the clue. You have to be in the now to connect to spirit. You can't be worried about the past and you can't be worried about the future. If I was doing readings and I was sitting in the power and I was worried about what I was going to cook for dinner or what happened two hours ago, I wouldn't be able to do my readings. Spirit can only communicate with you when you're in the now, when you're in the moment. So try and find as much time as many times during the day as you can to center and find yourself in the moment. Okay. Okay, the next one is love the process. Enjoy the journey. Sometimes we get so hooked on the next destination and we work so hard that we don't enjoy the journey and the growth is in the journey. The growth is there with pregnancy. We get so fixed on what's going to happen at the end or the end result that we don't, we don't focus on, we don't live in the in the now or we don't enjoy the journey and in the journey is where the most important lessons are learned is in the journey. So there are many times if I ever, I mean, I think I've talked about my mediumship journey. In some of my podcast episodes, it was, I'm not going to say it was easy peasy, it was hard, like just coming out as a medium and then doing readings and not having anxiety about them, all the things, all the things, but you know what, I learned everything. That's where I learned all the most important valued lessons is in my journey, in my mediumship journey. So remember to stop and smell the flowers, enjoy the journey and, and stay in, stay in your own lane. Like, don't worry about what everybody else is doing, which is what we're going to kind of talk to you at number five. So number four is be grateful for what you have now. So sometimes when we want something so bad or we want a new job or we want a new relationship, we, we can't really get there if we're not grateful for where we're at in the moment. That's kind of enjoying the journey part of it. A lot of times we, we don't enjoy enough, don't be grateful for what we have, like we can't, if we can't be grateful for what we have, and the things that we have, how do we create more. So this is a great, this is a really big manifestation block. If you don't have, if you can't find gratitude in what you have now, it kind of blocks you from moving forward. So really try to look forward, look for the small things to be grateful for in your life now. That will help a lot. That will help you be in the now and it'll help you have gratitude, which is one of the highest frequencies. The actual highest frequency, love and gratitude are high, but the actual highest frequency is you being authentic. That's when you're at your highest frequency is when you're being authentically you. That means processing all the good and the bad, but that's when you're at your highest frequency, not when you're trying to be somebody else, not when you're worried about other things. It's when you are being authentically who you want to be. Okay, also too, I already talked about this, you chose to be here, you had your free agency, so that's be grateful, try and be grateful on that, try and find the gratitude in that. The next one, this one's huge is stop caring what other people think. This was my biggest thing, especially when I was going to be Mormon in a small town and a very kind of religious town actually. And it was hard. It was hard. I worried about not only what people outside of me thought, but what my friends and family thought and my kids, my kids, what would they think if I did this? And this is the hardest thing. And every kind of career has its own niche. So in this niche of the spiritual kind of niche, there has been lots of, with any career doctors, lawyers, any kind of, there is a somewhat of a weird kind of jealousy. And it's not like you want to, it's not like you're like, I can't, not a mean jealousy, just comparing yourself, comparing yourself to other mediums or comparing yourself to other card readers, comparing yourself to other healers, comparing yourself to other people in general and how and their gifts. And this is where it gets hard. You just have to stay in your own lane and worry about your own self. You don't worry about what other people think of you, because you know what, who cares? Who cares, what they think of you, right? Because it doesn't matter, I'm telling you right now, it doesn't matter what you do. Someone's going to think ill of you somewhere. It doesn't matter if you don't come out of your closet for, for, for being a medium or spiritual closet or whatever closet you're in, or if you do come out, if someone's not going to like it, you're not always going to be there, you're not always going to be everyone's favorite. So who cares? So not caring what other people think is so, so important for your authenticity, for you being you. You can't care what other people think, other people think of you. So you have to let that go. And I took a class from Cindy Kaza, and she said, stay in your own lane. Just put on your blinders, do that racehorse thing where you and stay in your own lane, because no matter what you do, someone's not going to like it, even if it's other mediums, even if it's other tarot readers, even if it's other healers, or even if it's other, if you're a doctor, you're their doctors or hairstylists, whatever, someone is just staying your own lane, do your thing. You be authentic to you. You do, you do it the way you want to do it, because there's no right or wrong way to do it. I know that there's lots of classes, spiritual classes, you know, I guess, you know, doctors would have to go to school because you do have to have that, that degree. But in the world of spiritualism, there is no rule, because not everybody is the same. Not everybody grows spiritually the same, just like we all have different clairs, we all hear spirit differently, we all connect differently. And so if you want to do your readings a different way than what you're taught, then if you go, because I do believe in continuing education in any career, and I do believe that you're always learning, always growing, it's not always, it's always, always growing, you're always growing. But I also believe that you take what resonates with you from what you're being taught, and you keep that for you, because if it resonates with you, then it's your truth. But that doesn't mean it's somebody else's. So when I took this class, and they said, this is how you have to do your readings, you have to do this first, then this, and then this, I was like, that does not resonate with me, that is not going to be me, because that's not how I do it. So you do you, you do it differently. And, and honestly to you guys, there's so many things that I was taught in some of these classes, that aren't true. I was taught that you're not supposed to see a medium until six months after somebody passes. That's not always true. That's, mediums can't talk to them, as soon as they pass, it's your grief that they, that they struggle with. So there's just so many things that I've learned, I've learned that there really aren't any spirits that are stuck. Like I haven't run into them, but I was taught that they existed, and then now I'm taught that they're not. So this is where you do you. And you know what I would have wished, I wish that when I was taught that thing, those things I would have trusted my gut, because I felt something was off when they taught me that stuff. I'm like, that doesn't sound right to me. I wish I would have listened to that, because then six or seven months down the road, or even years down the road, I realized, you know what, that wasn't accurate for me. And that's okay, because what's not accurate for me, isn't going to be accurate for everybody. So I promise you guys, this is a lot. And I know that we think that to be the most spiritual weekend, we have to always grow, meditate, do all the things, mark off the list. And really, honestly, the best way, and the biggest way that you can be spiritual right now is to do you, just be you, be authentically you. It's okay if you watch me or other people or other people in relationships or mentors that you have. But you know what, at the end of the day, you need to be true to yourself. You need to do what's right for you. You need to do what feels good for you. And if you if the spiritual stuff isn't for you, that's fine. Find something else. If it is for you, and you have all this fear, figure out how to let it go, figure out how to stand in new power, stand in who you are, and know that you have everything that you need inside of you. The magic is already inside of you, you guys. And so the most spiritual thing that you could possibly do is be you. That's what we're here to figure out. This is what we're here to do is figure out who we are, and how to be joyful in what we do. And what brings us joy is not what's going to bring somebody else joy. It's not it's not going to be what brings your kids joy. They're they've got their own compass, they've got their own way. So just remember that. So that is to be in the now, be yourself, be in the now, love and enjoy the journey, be grateful for what you have now, and stop caring about what other think others think. All of those will help you be in your authenticity and stand in your authenticity. So I hope that helps. I know you guys wanted more like you need to meditate to this meditation and listen to these frequencies and do all this. But honestly, that's all fluff. It's all fluff. You need to be you. That's what the creator made you for is to be you. And so you need to be original and you need to be you. So I hope that helps you guys. So now I am going to see you guys next week.
