Namaste!

Namaste! It's Sahara Rose and welcome back to the highest self-podcast. A place where you discuss what makes you your soul's highest involvement.

I am soul-deeply honored to have you here. I know there are a lot of new listeners who have gone through a bit of a spiritual transformation this quarantine season. It doesn't for you, doesn't it?

And are awakening to this whole other side of themselves that involve spirit guides and chakras and Ayurveda and dojas and just understanding yourself at the soul level.

So to you who this is your first episode listening, I say welcome. Now is the perfect time your soul is asking you to wake up and is guiding you to the exact conversations, realizations and awakenings that your soul has been waiting for.

So welcome my queen or king or non-binary, whoever you are. I'm grateful for you. And if you are here every week, what's up? What's happening? You may have heard our last episode with Teal Swan, which was over a year ago, episode 176 Intuitive Gifts and the Loneliness Epidemic with Teal Swan.

Such a great episode. Definitely recommend listening to it as well. But if you aren't aware of Teal Swan, she is truly an OG when it comes to sharing spirituality online. I actually discovered her about 10 years ago on YouTube when I was like really going through my spiritual awakening and she had so many videos on what is duality, what are spirit guides, what are souls, all of these things and it was very, very helpful for me.

And what I love about her is she is so herself. She doesn't try to market things in a way that they might be liked by other people just to get their approval. She definitely does not fall into the toxic positivity category.

She says it as it is and for a lot of people, it can be blunt and it can be harsh, but she is always speaking her truth and someone who has such profound depth and wisdom that learning from her and hearing her speak and hearing her just awarenesses of the subtleties is really inspiring and also activating for your own consciousness.

So she explains more about her story growing up in a very strict cult as a child and actually being abused in this cult and you know eventually finding spirituality and finding herself and finding her sovereignty and a lot of the work that she does is also on loneliness and how loneliness is our biggest epidemic and she's been talking about this for years now, but it's interesting because we're in this literal manifestation of it in quarantine that we're literally in boxes in homes.

And so it's just by herself is when the one thing that we need more than anything is each other and she is someone who is very vocal and speaking about this and dives into it in this episode. So as we know we have been going through the most crazy spiritual awakening of human history right now or at least in our modern memory and a lot of stuff is going up in flames and it's going up in flames so we can rebuild something new.

I wanted to build a house from scratch. I'd have to get rid of the old house to rebuild the brand new foundation from the ground up and essentially that's sort of what it feels like we're going through right now.

There are so many layers from political to spiritual to medical, etc. And what we really focus on in this episode are the spirituality and the consciousness related aspects of this shift of this awakening and what we can really focus on.

And how at the end of the day, it really comes down to this. I for myself have realized that the best way that I can really be of service to humanity is to raise consciousness and that growing up myself and I share this on the podcast as like a hardcore activist going to school to become an international human rights lawyer working with NGOs and immigrants and refugees being the president of Amnesty International orchestrating many protests like really coming from an activism background and eventually realizing.

That this is not the best way to really help people because these situations keep showing up if the belief is still there.

And that's what we talk about in this episode of really going to the root cause and if we want to talk about activism.

It's not just about posting things on social media and going to the protest. It's about changing your subconscious beliefs that are still withholding up holding whatever it is that you're fighting against whether it is racism or sexual dysfunction or what.

Elsewhere is that present in yourself in your relationships, etc. And that's really what we dive into in the first part of this episode.

Teal also has an amazing video on her YouTube channel YouTube is her main place on millennials and the differences between millennials and generation, the baby boomers and how so many people keep saying what's wrong with the millennials. Why are they so entitled? Why are they this? Why are they that we have a conversation about that myself being a millennial and different perspectives of why we are the only way to get the right to the right.

Why we are the way that we are and the light and the shadow of that of growing up in the time that we have been raised in graduating at the time that we we graduated and the economic collapses and now this situation how it's affected us.

We also talk and this was my first time ever hearing her speak about this on the podcast about her unique living situation of living in an intentional community in a home with 12 other people and how that works, how that functions, what are their dynamics and how a lot of us are getting the download right now to move into you know off grid communities intentional communities homes with multiple people.

Whatever it is and I know for myself I've never seen it done in a way that I'm like this is really thriving and this is really working and she shared that she actually lives in one so I asked her some questions about the dynamics of the one that she has created and and it's really interesting because you can see that there can be a community created around anything you can actually create your own rules and it doesn't have to be this one certain way or this one certain structure it's actually going to be really based off of the needs of the people who want to create this.
