Hello and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host Deb Bowen.

And I'm Samantha Fe.

Let me begin by telling you what this episode is not. It is not.

A, oh, we're a weekend to the year and make a resolution episode.

It is not a manifesting episode. It is not a doing episode.

Rather, this episode is an invitation to you to begin this year as a year of finding yourself.

An invitation to dive into who you really are and to find a new way of being within yourself

and with the world around you. In this episode, we're going to offer you ideas of ways

that you can change the pace, the rhythm of your days so that you feel more connected to yourself.

In this episode, we ask the question, how do we give ourselves permission to just say yes

to a moment or 20 moments when we are in silence, really listening, and in perhaps repeating

a word that connects us to ourselves, a time when we simply are and we are simply being.

Okay, at this point, you are rolling your eyes and you are saying here they come with that

meditate, meditate, meditate, then again. And you'd be both right and wrong. We do know,

believe it or not, I know this, that sitting still and quieting the mind does not work for some

people. That's why we also recommend other ways to meditate, walking, walking elaborate,

meditating to music or drum beats, chanting, listening to chance in drum beats.

But what we're talking about in this episode transcends meditation. Okay, so let me share this

with you. And I may have done this on an earlier episode, but I think it was repeating.

Many years ago, our wonderful friend and joe gave me a gift when I was in a really uncomfortable

place in my work. And I wasn't sure what to do with what the situation at hand. And here's what he said

to me, push pause, be present, see the spirit, push pause, be present, see the spirit.
