Emma, it's so great to have you on.

00:01:41 Merrily

Casual tempo.

00:01:43 Emma

Thank you.

00:01:43 Emma

Thank you.

00:01:44 Emma

I'm so happy to be here.

00:01:46 Merrily

Hey, yeah, I'm really excited to talk with you.

00:01:49 Merrily

We chatted a little bit before we got.

00:01:51 Merrily

And you are on Shannon Torrance's podcast. Magic is real, which is awesome, and everybody should check it out and check out your interview there as well.

00:02:01 Merrily

But really, we just kind of get started from wherever you consider the beginning of your current path that you're on to being an intuitive.

00:02:12 Emma

Yeah.

00:02:14 Emma

Gosh, it's it's a tough question though, because you can.

00:02:17

Mm.

00:02:19 Emma

You know so far back or even more.

00:02:20 Merrily

Oh yeah, we can go far back.

00:02:22 Emma

Yeah, we can.

00:02:23 Emma

We can go many different places.

00:02:28 Emma

I think kind of way I like to start though is is more recent because I grew up a highly sensitive.

00:02:37 Emma

Kiddo, I was always like, I felt really connected to nature.

00:02:42 Emma

And I always like had.

00:02:45 Emma

Feelings about things or senses sensing things.

00:02:49 Emma

Me, but I wasn't one of those kids that, you know, talks to their dead people walking around or sees them.

00:02:59 Emma

So I like to start more recent because my gifts really opened up when I was 21 and.

00:03:07 Emma

I made the choice to develop them and to work with them and to grow them, and I worked really hard and I've been working.

00:03:17 Emma

Still work and practice every day.

00:03:19 Emma

To get better at them, but I like sharing that because I think a lot of people have this misconception of.

00:03:24 Emma

Like intuitive abilities, as something that you're you're born with and you can't sort of deny that they're there.

00:03:36 Emma

And for.

00:03:36 Emma

People they have, I mean, I believe everyone has intuitive gifts.

00:03:41 Emma

But they get sort of clouded out as we grow up. And so I like sharing the story to to let other people know.

00:03:50 Emma

You know I.

00:03:51 Emma

I didn't think I was going to be a.

00:03:53 Emma

I didn't grow up, you know, thinking, oh, I'm I didn't know that this was a possibility.

00:03:58 Emma

So it was something that I've developed since reaching adulthood.

00:04:05

Yeah.

00:04:06 Merrily

Wow, yeah, that's something I've shared on well through my podcast and other people's podcasts is similar.

00:04:13 Merrily

A story.

00:04:13 Merrily

But it was something where I had stuff happening when I was a kid, but I was like, this is scary.

00:04:18 Merrily

It down like Nope.

00:04:20 Merrily

You know none of this.

00:04:21 Emma

Yeah.

00:04:23 Merrily

And then yeah, and then sort of like in more recent years kind of over my journey kind of, oh, there's something there that is wanting to connect. And I do think that every, every person can do it.

00:04:36 Merrily

It's just a matter of like how you do it and I know we're going to probably chat about that in like the different abilities you can sort of develop on your own.

00:04:46 Merrily

But yes, so though.

00:04:48 Emma

I was kind of the same as that because I well in retrospect now.

00:04:53 Merrily

Yes, national medium.

00:04:55 Emma

I can see.

00:04:56 Emma

The times when I like when I was really young, I would.

00:05:00 Emma

I grew up Catholic and I would go to church twice.

00:05:02 Emma

Week and I.

00:05:04 Emma

Talk to my relatives who died during.

00:05:08 Emma

The service and I would talk back to me and so.

00:05:09 Merrily

Right.

00:05:14 Emma

For you know twice for an hour, twice a week, for most of my childhood.

00:05:19 Emma

What I.

00:05:19 Emma

And now look.

00:05:21 Emma

I see while I was practicing but before add this knowledge and.

00:05:23

No.

00:05:27 Emma

Awareness of these gifts in this way, I kind of thought it was my imagination.

00:05:32 Emma

Felt, but it didn't feel like I could bring that out into the.

00:05:40 Emma

The real world or the, you know, I could outside of.

00:05:44 Emma

It felt like a very internal experience, but looking back you can see oh wow, I was practicing and.

00:05:51 Emma

Beautiful connections that I had with my loved ones and the conversations that I had and how real they were.

00:06:00 Emma

Yes. Yeah.

00:06:01 Merrily

Yeah, that's.

00:06:02 Merrily

It's always interesting how you're like, wow, how things mirror each other, especially when you're a kid and then you're like, oh, as an adult, you're like, oh, I was already kind of doing, like, in this example, you're like, I was already sort of doing it.

00:06:14 Emma

Yeah.

00:06:14 Merrily

And you just probably did. You know, you didn't have like.

00:06:17 Merrily

The terminology or you know real, broader understanding of what was going on.

00:06:22 Merrily

But yeah, that's fascinating.

00:06:24 Merrily

My gosh.

00:06:26 Merrily

So when you kind of did get started. So in your early 20s, did you have any support or guidance to kind of help you along?

00:06:36 Emma

Yeah. So.

00:06:39 Emma

The event.

00:06:39 Emma

That kind of opened up my intuition I had been.

00:06:44 Emma

Really sick all through.

00:06:45 Emma

So from the age at the age of 18, I started getting really sick with mysterious symptoms.

00:06:50 Emma

Eventually got like some autoimmune diagnosis.

00:06:55 Emma

Diagnosis.

00:06:58 Emma

And but that didn't help.

00:06:59 Emma

Like I still wasn't very good at my body. I had a lot of pain and the doctors couldn't help me, and I was in another country, away from my family at college.

00:07:11 Emma

So that was really the beginning of my healing journey, because that that that was the.

00:07:19 Emma

Challenge that brought me into my body, into my own hands, to recognize that I had a body and I had emotions, and to begin to do that work, to reconnect with myself as I. Up until then, I lived very much for others.

00:07:36 Emma

Reading people, sensing other people, trying to make everyone OK, take care of people.

00:07:42

Hello.

00:07:44 Emma

And so on. That journey, I began, one of the things that helped me was meditate meditating.

00:07:50 Emma

And so whenever I was in a lot of pain or well just everyday I.

00:07:55 Emma

And so one day, when I was 21, I was meditating when this, like, beautiful pink cloud came into my awareness and I.

00:08:07 Emma

Like, oh, it's so pretty.

00:08:10 Emma

And a message came with.

00:08:11 Emma

That someone in my family was going to die and I.

00:08:19 Emma

Thought it was a really weird.

00:08:21 Emma

And I.

00:08:21

I was.

00:08:23 Emma

Like Pat pushed it to you know, I watched it pass and I let it go and it came back again even stronger.

00:08:30 Emma

But what really made me sit up and say this is different is the.

00:08:36 Emma

And like.

00:08:38 Emma

Support like I.

00:08:39 Emma

Like I was in like the most.

00:08:39

Hello.

00:08:43 Emma

Snuggliest hug you can imagine.

00:08:46 Emma

And I hadn't really felt a love that big.

00:08:49 Emma

And so I.

00:08:50 Emma

Up and I was like, this is so weird.

00:08:52 Emma

I'm feeling so loved, but I'm also getting like information and emotions.

00:08:57 Emma

That my brain would usually it wouldn't associate with feeling loved and cozy. And the message I'm getting is a little strange and random and weird.

00:09:11 Emma

And a week later, my dad ended up having a heart attack and passing away.

00:09:16 Emma

So that was the beginning of my journey of of seeing. Wow, there was something.

00:09:24 Emma

Real here, there was something real that was communicated to me with all this love and I got.

00:09:33 Emma

Really afraid after that of meditating, I stopped meditating for a while because it did like you were saying, when you were younger and it felt really big and scary. That's how it felt to me.

00:09:43 Emma

Felt really big and scary and I was like no more.

00:09:48 Emma

And I sort.

00:09:48 Emma

Shut down from that, but it was about nine months later, after my dad had passed.

00:09:54 Emma

After I had grieved and just taken the time to.

00:09:59 Emma

To do what I needed to do and.

00:10:01 Emma

That experience.

00:10:03 Emma

That one morning I woke up and I was like, wow, that's not scary to me anymore.

00:10:09 Emma

Scary at all. And I'm I want to figure that out.

00:10:12 Emma

Want to get back into?

00:10:13 Emma

There was something really special there for me.

00:10:16

Hmm.

00:10:17 Emma

And so that's when the support and the help came in and I started working with teachers and.

00:10:27 Emma

Amazing psychics and mediums. I started like taking courses and.

00:10:33 Emma

Um, just reading books and doing everything I could to understand the process that had happened in my system and and I really wanted to figure out how I could use this process to support me in my life, in my healing journey, and just in making.

00:10:49 Emma

These decisions in my day to.

00:10:52 Emma

And then people started coming to me for Sessions, which I did wasn't really expecting.

00:10:59 Emma

Bring people to me.

00:11:00 Emma

And so I started doing it really for practice just because I wanted to, you know, get better at this skill.

00:11:11 Emma

And yeah, now I'm full time working with clients and I'm teaching people what all the things that I learned and I've learned so far on this journey.

00:11:19 Merrily

Oh, awesome.

00:11:20 Merrily

Yeah, that's a lot to kinda go through for sure.

00:11:25 Merrily

Yeah. And that's. Yeah, that's.

00:11:30 Merrily

Well, yeah, it's interesting that you felt like, oh, man, this what the information you're getting was kind of big and then you probably felt like, oh, man, if I meditate again and my it kind of like you're causing other people, right.

00:11:41 Merrily

Know what I?

00:11:42 Merrily

Feels like you're the one that's causing bad things to happen to other people.

00:11:46 Merrily

Not that you're just receiving information.

00:11:49 Merrily

That's kind of a lot to process, especially so young, you know, just kind of big.

00:11:55 Emma

Yeah, but even just that one experience taught me so much about intuition and so many like.

00:12:03 Emma

Uh.

00:12:05 Emma

The the key.

00:12:07 Emma

Flavors of intuition are the key signatures, I guess.

00:12:10 Emma

Could say.

00:12:10 Merrily

Yeah.

00:12:11 Emma

Bit of information like.

00:12:15 Emma

I wasn't afraid.

00:12:16 Emma

Scared or sad when that information came through?

00:12:18 Emma

So then the months.

00:12:20 Emma

Followed. Yeah, I had a lot of anxiety about meditating, and I had a lot of anxiety about my own thoughts. Like I would have of, like, my husband would go to work and I would think I would imagine that he gets in a.

00:12:31 Merrily

Yeah.

00:12:32 Emma

Is it happening right?

00:12:34 Merrily

Do it again.

00:12:35 Emma

But then I would I would have to take a moment and say no. Like that doesn't feel the same as how that felt.

00:12:41 Emma

Like I'm afraid right now.

00:12:43 Emma

I'm scared, you know.

00:12:46 Emma

Worried.

00:12:47 Emma

So this isn't accurate intuitive information.

00:12:52 Emma

Which was.

00:12:53 Emma

It was really helpful and that's the most important things for people to learn when they're developing their intuition is that.

00:13:01 Emma

Here and intuition are they don't coexist, they can't.

00:13:06 Merrily

Yeah.

00:13:06 Emma

Thank you.

00:13:07 Emma

Together and so learning to like.

00:13:11 Emma

Understand the different.

00:13:13 Emma

Voices. I guess you could say in your head or the different parts.

00:13:17 Emma

You that.

00:13:18 Emma

Are speaking at different times.

00:13:21 Emma

Even giving them names you know to know like part or. Oh, that's my, you know, intuitive voice. And I know I can trust that when that turns on is really helpful because otherwise you could just feel.

00:13:36 Emma

Really controlled by your own thoughts and controlled by your mind, which is not a nice place to be.

00:13:41 Merrily

Yes. No. Yeah. Your mind likes to play little fun games with you, so you can be entertained, I guess.

00:13:49 Merrily

But yeah, it's interesting 'cause. I like that how you're sort of explaining that because for me, I've explained this actually to my sister recently.

00:13:55 Merrily

Were talking about, you know, something like that, like, oh, I imagine something bad happening to a family member or friend or loved one.

00:14:03 Merrily

And you know, it is for me at least, the way it feels in the body is like you're pushing out when you're pushing that out, like you're, like, pushing the fear, pushing. It's coming out of you instead of something coming to you and like, you're receiving, you know.

00:14:15 Merrily

Like a receptive.

00:14:16 Merrily

Mode. Then you know, wait a minute.

00:14:18 Merrily

The one who's like generating this.

00:14:21 Merrily

It's like coming from me.

00:14:23 Merrily

It's, you know what I mean.

00:14:25 Emma

Oh, I love.

00:14:26 Emma

What a beautiful way to explain it totally.

00:14:28 Merrily

It's just, yeah, it's just so then I'm like, hold on, you know? Then I have to pause and be like, wait a minute.

00:14:34 Merrily

I think.

00:14:34 Merrily

Is just me being my brain, wanting to like, entertain me today.

00:14:39

Yeah.

00:14:40 Merrily

But yeah, so So what is? You have the method that you teach folks?

00:14:45 Merrily

Intuitive.

00:14:47 Merrily

So can you kind of, well, I guess I have a few questions on this, but who would you say is a good candidate for the intuitive method?

00:14:54 Merrily

Then like.

00:14:55 Merrily

Like, how do you?

00:14:57 Merrily

Like.

00:14:57 Merrily

How do you work with them, I guess.

00:14:59 Emma

Yeah, that's a that's a great question.

00:15:02 Emma

Umm. So yeah, I think a good candidate for the intuitive method is someone who's like really knows that they're on an awakening journey like things that started happening or.

00:15:16 Emma

Changing in their life.

00:15:17 Emma

Maybe they have, you know, a lot of a lot of the time it's.

00:15:21 Emma

Physical discomfort.

00:15:23 Emma

Or thumbs or illness in whatever way starts coming up to get us to like, wait a second. I'm alive, you know.

00:15:32 Emma

Sometimes it's that so, so whatever it is, there's been some sort of shaking up in their life and they know.

00:15:40 Emma

They're they're seeking something more and they're wanting to heal.

00:15:45 Emma

Wanting to learn more about themselves.

00:15:47 Emma

They're wanting to.

00:15:50 Emma

Deepen their connection with spirit.

00:15:53 Emma

And yeah, someone who's just curious and open, and I'm wanting to learn more.

00:16:00 Emma

Would be a great candidate.

00:16:03 Merrily

Nice.

00:16:04 Emma

What was the second part of the question?

00:16:05 Merrily

Oh yeah.

00:16:06 Merrily

Two-part questions are always.

00:16:10 Merrily

So kind of like so when you so the candidates. So how do you start working?

00:16:13 Emma

Uh.

00:16:15 Merrily

How do you start working with them with the intuitive method?

00:16:19 Merrily

Sort of like highlight.

00:16:19 Emma

Yeah. So.

00:16:20 Emma

Oh yeah.

00:16:21 Emma

Oh my gosh, I'm excited so.

00:16:27 Emma

So typically, so it's a 12 week.

00:16:30 Emma

Actually, it's 13 weeks because we take a week off and then the last one, we have a little gap between the weeks at the.

00:16:39

Mm.

00:16:40 Emma

But yeah, so it's a 12 week program.

00:16:43 Emma

And we do live classes and there's homework and exercises that you work on every week.

00:16:49 Emma

And things to practice and.

00:16:55 Emma

And we do in the we have an hour and a half class once a week and that's learning about a new topic and then practicing using your our intuition either together or individually with different exercises.

00:17:12 Emma

So we start the program starts with the body and the emotions.

00:17:18 Emma

And the mind. So just understanding how your body and deepening your connection to your physical.

00:17:25

Body.

00:17:26 Emma

Your emotional body and your mental thought patterns and learning how to befriend them in a deeper way.

00:17:34 Emma

That where we start.

00:17:36 Emma

And then we get into more specifics, so.

00:17:40 Emma

The I teach you how to ask for intuitive.

00:17:44 Emma

The different ways that you can receive intuitive information, like directly, indirectly.

00:17:51 Emma

Mediumship we talk about?

00:17:54 Emma

How to ask and how to receive information like specific ways to ask?

00:18:00 Emma

Different like.

00:18:02 Emma

Channeling tools and journeying tools that you can use like structures that you can implement to like explore your inner world and then it ends with me teaching you my.

00:18:16 Emma

Technique for connecting with my intuition in a direct way.

00:18:21 Emma

That builds on all the different.

00:18:24 Emma

Components that we've learned through the week and then it sort of ends with this like tool that you can use to like turn on your intuition basically like an on switch.

00:18:35 Emma

And use it whenever you want.

00:18:38 Merrily

Awesome. I love that you.

00:18:41 Merrily

I know there's a lot of different traditions have also identified this, but that there's like kind of different bodies, right?

00:18:46 Merrily

Have your emotional body, your mental body, maybe where your like spiritual body.

00:18:51 Merrily

They have different names depending on which.

00:18:54 Merrily

Practice you.

00:18:56 Merrily

But what's interesting, I've been reading a lot 'cause. I'm Filipino and so I've been reading a lot about sort of the indigenous practices of the Filipino people before pre colonization and a lot of the indigenous practices from the Philippines.

00:19:11 Merrily

I think pretty much everywhere.

00:19:12 Merrily

Ireland native, you know natives.

00:19:15 Merrily

To have that understanding of those bodies.

00:19:19 Merrily

So to me it feels like these intuitive works. The things that you're doing is like kind of calling back to like what we were previously already doing but forgot.

00:19:28 Merrily

To do.

00:19:29 Merrily

I love that you're putting it together in such a structured way, because I do think the Western.

00:19:36 Merrily

At least here in our Western world, we need that structure.

00:19:39 Merrily

How we've been taught how to how to absorb information.

00:19:44 Merrily

So I love that you have this, like very condensed but very powerful like program for people to follow.

00:19:51 Merrily

And but it is harkening back to what we already naturally do. We just kind of forgot how to do it.

00:19:57 Merrily

So I think that's super cool.

00:19:59 Emma

Utterly and I and I just have to say, like I'm didn't invent this.

00:19:59

Yeah.

00:20:04 Emma

At all, yeah.

00:20:04 Emma

Me.

00:20:09 Emma

It has existed.

00:20:10

Yeah.

00:20:11 Emma

Wait for me, you know, and will exist way after me.

00:20:16 Emma

I'm just teaching it in in the way that I understand it so.

00:20:20 Merrily

I mean.

00:20:22 Emma

That connects with people and I I really wanted to make something that was really simple and clear that took all the things that I have learned and in my course like I have.

00:20:33 Emma

All my references, all the books I've read, so you can see, you know, and if you're drawn to certain things, you can.

00:20:39 Emma

You know or or ways of learning or topics you can see where I got that information and go and explore it even deeper because we could take like each.

00:20:50 Emma

Week we could spend a whole year.

00:20:51 Merrily

Gosh, yeah, for real.

00:20:54 Emma

Though they're so rich and I'm still working on deepening my awareness of all.

00:21:01 Emma

And I hope to never stop.

00:21:04

Yeah.

00:21:04 Emma

Because.

00:21:06 Emma

Yeah, I love learning.

00:21:10 Emma

To exploring this information, it's so fun for.

00:21:13 Emma

It's so fun. So I created this course to just be really a simple clear way. Really I made what I needed when I was 18.

00:21:28 Emma

In this beautiful fun package with and and the community is my favorite part of the whole experience. Is just the amazing people that are attracted to this work.

00:21:39 Emma

That support one another and cheer each other.

00:21:42 Emma

On and um.

00:21:44 Emma

It's one thing to do this work and to practice connecting with your intuition on your own, but when you do it with a group it.

00:21:54 Emma

It is really powerful.

00:21:56 Emma

Because you get.

00:21:57 Emma

Validation and that feedback to grow your confidence when you're working by yourself and on your own. You know, it's like when you're a little kid and you have these intuitive senses and you're like, is this real?

00:22:08 Emma

Imagination. Am I just playing?

00:22:12 Emma

You know, it kind of.

00:22:14 Emma

It kind of doesn't quite feel.

00:22:18 Emma

Totally concrete.

00:22:19 Emma

But when you work with a group, when you're practicing and challenged a little bit to like, you know, use this muscle.

00:22:31 Emma

It's really a.

00:22:32 Emma

Life changing and it's been really transformative for a lot of my students.

00:22:36 Merrily

Yes, man so much there.

00:22:38 Merrily

So kind of like the last piece you said, I in my story process too, I was able to work with a group of other people who are sensitives or intuitives or psychics.

00:22:49 Merrily

And exactly what you said, it's great having that feedback.

00:22:52 Merrily

Just it's so helpful.

00:22:55 Merrily

And the other part is also for me it was like observing how everybody else kind of gets information differently and how they're stronger in different areas.

00:23:05 Merrily

It doesn't.

00:23:06 Merrily

That anybody's worse or.

00:23:07 Merrily

It just means that for whatever reason, like people just receive and get information differently and like.

00:23:14 Merrily

Especially what's fun is like the symbol.

00:23:16 Merrily

Is it?

00:23:17 Merrily

The symbol dictionary or however you wanna call it.

00:23:19 Merrily

Like everybody's symbols are, like, very personal to them.

00:23:23 Merrily

And that's always fun to see.

00:23:26 Emma

Yes, yes. Yeah, I I I have a workshop that I teach around the world called discovery of sensory superpower. And this last year, I was like teaching it in Ireland.

00:23:37 Emma

Taught it in new.

00:23:39 Emma

I taught it all over the.

00:23:41 Emma

East Coast.

00:23:45 Emma

And it's so.

00:23:47 Emma

It's one of it's one of the funnest things that I do because we do an exercise to discover how your intuition speaks to you.

00:23:54 Emma

What is the language?

00:23:55 Emma

That it uses mm.

00:23:58 Emma

Because it's often different than we think it would be. You know when you hear about a psychic or an intuitive person, you most people tend to think of like, visions like seeing auras or seeing angels with your real physical eyes.

00:24:15 Emma

Some do that but.

00:24:19 Emma

Actually.

00:24:20

The.

00:24:21 Emma

Most common way that I found in doing these workshops running these workshops is like hundreds of people. The most common one.

00:24:28 Emma

Has been the felt sense.

00:24:31 Emma

The most common way that people receive intuitive information is a felt sense in the body. So like feeling a tight tightening or relaxing of the muscles or heaviness, lightness, that kind of thing is the most common one that I see but.

00:24:42

This cops.

00:24:46 Emma

Our our intuitive.

00:24:49 Emma

None.

00:24:50 Emma

Muscle uses just like we have 5 physical senses. We have 5 intuitive senses as well that.

00:24:57 Emma

Five physical senses, so intuitive information can come through.

00:25:01 Emma

Those 5 intuitive senses.

00:25:03 Emma

So clear sentience, which is the one I was talking about.

00:25:08 Emma

Like the felt sense in the body.

00:25:11 Emma

Clear cognizance.

00:25:12 Emma

Audience.

00:25:15 Emma

Clairvoyance, which is the seeing.

00:25:18 Emma

And yeah, the symbols are really fascinating.

00:25:21 Emma

I started my own symbol dictionary.

00:25:24 Emma

I don't know if you know Tyler Henry.

00:25:27 Emma

Oh yeah, yeah.

00:25:28 Emma

At that medium, he posted his.

00:25:31 Emma

Some pictures of his symbol dictionary that.

00:25:34 Emma

He's kept over the years and added to and I just started lying and it's so cool to see.

00:25:42 Emma

How much wisdom is in our system and in our body?

00:25:48 Emma

And and that's why it is so personal. And it takes a lot of work and practice to get to know your intuition really well and to be able to interpret it really well because.

00:26:02 Emma

Your intuition will use the information that's available to you, so if you like want to get into tarot, let's say or get into something that is has like symbology within it or astrology or something.

00:26:16 Emma

If you learn that information, then your intuition can use it to convey more to you.

00:26:25 Emma

And typically also the symbols that will come through and the information that will come through will be connected to things that you care about or are interesting and exciting to you.

00:26:35 Emma

So like I really like. I'm. I'm not so good with names like in life. I'm not so good with names.

00:26:44 Emma

I'm really good with faces, but when I do mediumship like names are still something that I'm really working on working to, but it doesn't come as naturally to me 'cause I'm not.

00:26:44

Like.

00:26:52 Merrily

Mm.

00:26:55 Emma

It's not something I.

00:26:56 Emma

Even care about in physical life like I think people could have many different names.

00:27:00 Merrily

Yeah.

00:27:00 Merrily

Yeah.

00:27:01 Emma

Like I'll see someone like oh, she's.

00:27:03 Emma

She could also be Sarah or Jennifer, like, but I faces and clothing and there are things that I really connect with.

00:27:14 Emma

I have a.

00:27:15 Emma

A lot of Libra in my chart so.

00:27:18 Merrily

That makes sense, yeah.

00:27:20 Emma

So so when I'm doing mediumship readings like, I often will see how someone dressed how their hair was.

00:27:29 Emma

Um, how they fit their physical appearance, how that looked even had their voice sound like. All those things will come a lot easier to me than a name and that's.

00:27:40 Emma

Correlated to you know, to what I care about in my physical day to.

00:27:46 Merrily

Yeah, explain that so well.

00:27:48 Merrily

And I like that you also brought up about names because I know names is like.

00:27:54 Merrily

A very unique one for mediums to kind of be able to snap.

00:27:57 Merrily

Always like whoa, you got the.

00:27:59 Merrily

You know.

00:28:00 Merrily

But when you explain like, I kind of remember more like their face and their hair.

00:28:00

Yeah.

00:28:03 Merrily

Like, yeah, I think I'm more like, like I remember.

00:28:08 Merrily

More than physical traits.

00:28:10 Emma

And and I like I have so much respect for mediums. Who can do that. And I like love it so much.

00:28:18 Emma

But also I don't have like pressure on myself.

00:28:21 Emma

I need to do all that because it's like you were saying like.

00:28:26 Emma

We all have different ways of receiving this information and or we can embrace our way. The more open that Channel will become and the more.

00:28:29 Merrily

Mm.

00:28:38 Emma

The more accurate intuitive information will be able to just bring and flow into our life.

00:28:44 Merrily

Yes. Yeah. So, so much of that. And definitely when you mention like sort of the tarot too, I spent a lot of time like learning the tarot. And yeah, when I would start doing.

00:28:55 Merrily

Readings or healings on people I would start.

00:28:58 Merrily

The tarot cards would start popping up for them.

00:29:00 Merrily

I'm like I'm seeing.

00:29:01

I.

00:29:01 Merrily

Blue at tarot and your whatever chakra. You know, that kind of thing.

00:29:05 Emma

Oh, that's hilarious. That that just popped into my head.

00:29:06

Yeah.

00:29:08 Merrily

Yeah, yeah.

00:29:10

See.

00:29:11 Merrily

And then another thing too is like I love love, love, love music and I get song lyrics quite a lot.

00:29:16 Merrily

Get like little snippets of song lyrics out here and I'm like.

00:29:20 Merrily

I'm just going to tell you this.

00:29:21

I.

00:29:22 Merrily

Don't know what it means or whatever, but I know what it means to me and what it probably means for the person.

00:29:27 Merrily

Yeah, that's so fascinating.

00:29:30 Emma

Utterly. That's another great example.

00:29:32 Emma

Is so good.

00:29:34 Emma

And sometimes when I do the discovery or sensory superpower workshop, sometimes people will hear music.

00:29:41 Emma

What do what we discover? And if we have time at the end, we could do a little exercise. Maybe, but the.

00:29:47

Uh.

00:29:49 Emma

I have people feel into their yes and no.

00:29:53 Emma

And so that is where people will get that information on how their intuition is communicating to them. And sometimes people will have music or music lyrics for a yes and or a no.

00:30:06 Emma

Which is cool.

00:30:07 Merrily

How fun. I love it.

00:30:11 Merrily

So you did mention.

00:30:14

Sort of.

00:30:14 Merrily

A little bit of like how you got started with the system, but why?

00:30:18 Merrily

Made you.

00:30:18 Merrily

I need to create the system like what was the thing that really wanted you made. You want to do that?

00:30:24 Emma

That's a great question.

00:30:30 Emma

I think I felt really alone.

00:30:35 Emma

Beginning of my journey, I came from a pretty fairly conservative background and community.

00:30:44 Emma

So the work that I do.

00:30:47 Emma

I it wasn't modeled to.

00:30:48 Emma

And when my it wasn't something that I was ever around or knew anything about.

00:30:58 Emma

Umm.

00:30:59 Emma

And then I was pretty sick through.

00:31:01 Emma

I had some awesome friends, but like when my kids started opening up they they didn't, they couldn't relate.

00:31:12 Emma

No, I was pretty.

00:31:13 Emma

Felt pretty alone.

00:31:15 Emma

And exploring it.

00:31:18 Emma

And figuring it out.

00:31:20 Emma

And so once I started to get my feet under me, like once I had some community that had built up of friends.

00:31:30 Emma

Who understood what I was going through and were exploring the same thing for themselves.

00:31:35 Emma

Then I started to feel like, OK.

00:31:39 Emma

I need to get this out there for the other people that are feeling alone in this.

00:31:45 Merrily

Mm.

00:31:46 Emma

And yeah, I became.

00:31:48 Emma

It just like it felt like a really.

00:31:51 Emma

I felt really strongly motivated to create it and to put it all together and the first class I taught, I guess it was.

00:32:02 Emma

2019.

00:32:06 Emma

And the first time we all met, we all got together.

00:32:09 Emma

Was like, wow, people really need this.

00:32:12 Merrily

Yeah.

00:32:13 Emma

And and and it really makes a difference for them to have this opportunity in this community, yeah.

00:32:22 Emma

So and I recently just started a free intuition practice.

00:32:28 Emma

Group that we do monthly.

00:32:31 Emma

Because I I want people to be able to access the support and structure to pursue, you know, and discover more about their intuition, regardless of where they are or.

00:32:45 Emma

Able to afford a course.

00:32:47 Merrily

Yeah.

00:32:48 Emma

So I do that on the 3rd Sunday of every month. If anyone is curious and wants to.

00:32:56 Emma

Must explore their intuition with the community.

00:32:59 Merrily

Oh, that's so cool that you offer that, yeah.

00:33:04 Merrily

Yes. And everything you said is so spot on and I'm glad that you realize, like, oh, you know, it is definitely about the tools, but it's also about creating that community for people and that place.

00:33:14 Merrily

You don't feel so alone especially.

00:33:17 Merrily

Yeah, it's super isolating for sure when you're like, oh, God.

00:33:21 Merrily

What's going on?

00:33:24 Merrily

And you know, you do talk to maybe your loved ones or your friends in your life, and they're not having the same experience, which is fine.

00:33:30 Merrily

Just. Yeah. You just feel like, oh, man.

00:33:33 Merrily

What's going on with me?

00:33:35 Emma

Yeah, and it can.

00:33:36 Emma

It can be really lonely too, because.

00:33:40 Emma

You change too.

00:33:40 Merrily

Yeah, yeah.

00:33:41 Emma

So a lot of the people that I was friends with, I'm not friends with anymore.

00:33:47 Emma

A lot of the things I cared about or thought were important in my life.

00:33:51 Merrily

Yeah.

00:33:52 Emma

And I have new interests and I really have changed and I think that that was one of the scariest parts. When my intuition first opened up, when I first had that moment of like, oh ****, this is real.

00:34:04 Merrily

Yeah.

00:34:06 Emma

I can't deny that was because I I I felt this like my life is never going to be the same.

00:34:13 Merrily

Hmm.

00:34:14 Emma

Moment of like, wow, everything. Everything from now on will be different.

00:34:21 Merrily

Yeah.

00:34:22 Emma

And and that's a scary thing and it's scary.

00:34:25 Merrily

OK.

00:34:26 Emma

Especially when when it means we lose relationships or.

00:34:30 Emma

Have to let go of things.

00:34:31 Merrily

Yeah, that's what. Yeah, for sure.

00:34:35 Merrily

But you know, it's good that you're not.

00:34:37 Merrily

But it is good that you went through it and so you can kind of help people walk through.

00:34:41 Merrily

That could be, you know, something that they might have to go through as well. And and it's a rough situation, but you know, ultimately it's, you know, you get closer to who you actually you are.

00:34:53 Merrily

And so that's always, you know, a positive.

00:34:56 Emma

Yeah. And you and you attract people and you meet.

00:35:00 Emma

Yes, of the person you're becoming and care about that and that. That's one of the things I am excited about, this community that we're building this monthly group and and with the intuitive method to like you get lifelong friends through the program.

00:35:15 Merrily

Yeah.

00:35:17 Emma

Through the community that you can, you know, connect with beyond our meetings and and have that support and.

00:35:28 Emma

Who understand?

00:35:30 Merrily

Yes, people who.

00:35:32 Merrily

Yeah, that's so invaluable for sure.

00:35:34 Merrily

Oh my.

00:35:36 Merrily

So what would you we kind of sort touched on it a little in here, a little bit, but what would you say?

00:35:42 Merrily

Is your higher self such a big question.

00:35:47 Merrily

But what is your perspective on what that is?

00:35:51 Emma

So when I do my intuitive sessions, I am communicating with my clients higher self.

00:35:59 Emma

And also their guides.

00:36:01 Emma

And the higher self is to me from from the way my guides have explained it to me is it's the part of you that's still connected to spirit.

00:36:14 Emma

So when we come to Earth, we don't bring 100% of our soul energy.

00:36:20 Emma

We bring a percentage of it into our body.

00:36:23 Emma

Still a part of it connected to source.

00:36:27 Emma

So our higher self is.

00:36:29 Emma

Is.

00:36:31 Emma

Gosh, it's.

00:36:33 Emma

Such an essential.

00:36:36 Emma

Part of us well, it is the essential part of us. And when we connect with it, it's almost like.

00:36:43 Emma

Our work on Earth is to connect as much as we can with our higher self and vibrate as close to that frequency of our higher self as possible.

00:36:52 Merrily

Mm.

00:36:53 Emma

And our higher selves are totally unique and gorgeous, like prisms of light, and every soul is so different.

00:37:04 Emma

And beautiful and special in its own.

00:37:06 Emma

And so the more that you really it's the more unique you become.

00:37:11 Merrily

Yeah, yeah.

00:37:13 Emma

The more you embrace like.

00:37:17 Emma

Your.

00:37:19 Emma

Desires and your things that you love and follow your heart and the passions that come up for you, the closer that you get to connecting and and and embodying.

00:37:34 Emma

The frequency of your higher self.

00:37:38

Yeah.

00:37:40 Merrily

Oh yeah, yeah, for.

00:37:41 Merrily

I I think I've had moments where I've definitely connected with it and I.

00:37:46 Merrily

Like what?

00:37:46 Merrily

I've explained it to.

00:37:48 Merrily

I'm like, it's me, but without all the BS, right?

00:37:51 Merrily

Me without all the anxiety or the fear.

00:37:56 Merrily

It's, but it's me.

00:37:58 Merrily

It still has a sense of humor, which I'm happy about.

00:38:04 Emma

Yeah, yeah.

00:38:05 Merrily

Yeah, it's just like I'm not worried about how I look that day or not worried about, you know, the bill.

00:38:10 Merrily

Have to pay.

00:38:11 Merrily

You know, it's all that is not there.

00:38:13 Merrily

It's.

00:38:14 Merrily

Yeah, the essential who you are. Whatever.

00:38:17 Merrily

So I love how you explained.

00:38:19 Merrily

Explain that it's all connected to source or spirit, yeah.

00:38:25 Emma

And it's who we are and we have access to our higher self all the time because.

00:38:30 Emma

Us it's our essential nature.

00:38:31 Merrily

Mm.

00:38:33 Emma

So it can never leave you.

00:38:35 Emma

Can never get rid of.

00:38:37 Emma

It, you know, never lose it.

00:38:40 Emma

Can never abandoned.

00:38:42 Emma

It's always, always, always there.

00:38:46 Emma

To guide you and to support you and to love you.

00:38:52 Merrily

And is that why you try to teach your clients to connect with the higher self?

00:38:57 Merrily

Because of that sort of essential part of them.

00:39:00 Emma

Yeah, 'cause our highest self contains.

00:39:03 Emma

The wisdom that we need in this lifetime.

00:39:06 Emma

So.

00:39:09 Emma

My.

00:39:10

What?

00:39:11 Emma

I really care about is empowering my clients and students to make their own decisions and trust themselves more and to embrace the things that they want to experience in their life.

00:39:24 Emma

To heal, to grow.

00:39:27 Emma

So I want to empower my clients and students to be able to do that on their own, to not need to get that information from outside of them from their parents or even from me. You know, I.

00:39:40 Emma

I, you know, channel intuitive information, but my goal is that they don't need me or want me eventually, you know.

00:39:45

Yeah.

00:39:48 Emma

Yeah, I want them to be able to access it themselves. So their connection with their higher self has all the wisdom they need.

00:39:55 Emma

The answer to all of the questions that they might have, or the challenges that they're going through or the things that are.

00:40:03 Emma

The snags that they might be hitting in their life that they.

00:40:07 Emma

Feel that they need support on like if they can connect more with their higher self.

00:40:13 Emma

Then those snags don't last as long, or don't feel as painful because they're bringing higher perspective and able to access the the answers and the solutions and the.

00:40:23 Emma

Actions that will support them in the best way.

00:40:26 Merrily

Yeah.

00:40:28 Merrily

Yeah, it's so.

00:40:28 Merrily

And I like like that you mentioned like, yeah, I just.

00:40:31 Merrily

Want them to need?

00:40:32 Merrily

You know, that kind of thing.

00:40:33

But.

00:40:34 Merrily

Yeah, I think that is like a big goal.

00:40:38 Merrily

Is to get folks to to have that their own connection with with that higher self or spirit, or whomever their guides.

00:40:48 Merrily

And.

00:40:50 Merrily

I think, gosh, I just lost my train.

00:40:53 Merrily

Thought on that.

00:40:55 Merrily

Yeah, I think that's a great service to provide for people.

00:41:00 Merrily

Can you walk us through?

00:41:03 Merrily

You do different sessions with clients directly.

00:41:07 Merrily

Can you walk us through like a session with client?

00:41:10 Merrily

Know you do different things, but yeah.

00:41:12 Emma

So the three offerings that I have are intuitive sessions, mediumship sessions, and somatic therapy.

00:41:21 Emma

Somatic.

00:41:21 Emma

I just recently started offering in person and that has been really cool because in the last year and a half in my intuitive sessions with clients, I had been my my my guides have been.

00:41:36 Emma

Instructing me to do certain things with my clients to connect with their energy, to experience their emotions and move their emotions and process and heal trauma and all these things.

00:41:49 Emma

My guides for supporting me and bringing in giving me this information to give to my clients, and then I learned it was a thing.

00:41:57 Merrily

Yeah, yes, yeah.

00:41:59 Emma

So I I the last year and a half, I've been doing different trainings.

00:42:06 Emma

And learning about it like mentally, like learning the science behind it and the neuroscience and about the Vegas system and.

00:42:17 Emma

All that good stuff and trauma theories and things like that so.

00:42:26 Emma

I now offer that in person.

00:42:29 Emma

And it's like touch based.

00:42:33 Emma

Semantic experiencing, basically, but with me connecting with my intuition to support them and being with their body and whatever's happening because the really cool thing is like.

00:42:45

Really.

00:42:48 Emma

And and this connects totally to empowering my clients and students to.

00:42:53 Emma

Connect with their own intuition.

00:42:57 Emma

Our intuition speaks through our body.

00:42:59 Merrily

Mm.

00:43:01 Emma

You know it speak the more can our body is like the antenna.

00:43:04 Merrily

Yep.

00:43:06 Emma

That receives intuitive information and so many people.

00:43:09 Emma

Mean I didn't know.

00:43:10 Emma

I really had a.

00:43:11 Emma

I didn't know what it was like to be in my body.

00:43:13 Merrily

Right. Yes, definitely.

00:43:15 Emma

So so yeah, now I now I have this awesome offering of supporting people in experiencing being in their body and feeling that can come from that.

00:43:28 Emma

In my mediumship sessions, I communicate with people who've died.

00:43:33 Emma

So.

00:43:35 Emma

That's pretty self-explanatory.

00:43:37 Merrily

Right, yes.

00:43:38 Emma

And then in my intuitive sessions there like energy readings, is typically how we'll start them.

00:43:44 Emma

I connect their higher self and their team of guides.

00:43:45 Merrily

I.

00:43:50 Emma

And I typically start out by drawing their energy.

00:43:53 Emma

So I'll see how the energy is moving in their energy body and I'll draw it on a piece of paper and make notes about different things that are coming up.

00:44:01 Emma

Then I'll we'll just start working together and I just start channeling this information connected to.

00:44:07 Emma

Them in their life and I really that those sessions, I really like to focus on, like really practical.

00:44:15 Emma

Information.

00:44:17 Emma

And tools and perspectives that can make the most.

00:44:24 Emma

The biggest shifts in their life and help them the most through what they're going through right then at that moment.

00:44:30 Merrily

Yeah, yeah, those are really good.

00:44:34 Merrily

I'm glad that you have like a thematic.

00:44:36 Merrily

That was something I also recently been aware of through some other folks that I'm connected with or practicing that.

00:44:43 Merrily

And it is about like the body is so important. And what's funny is when I've done sort of readings on people, a couple a few times, I have literally seen where it's like, here's their actual body. Like, I'm with the person, but I can see, like, they're liter.

00:44:57 Merrily

Like perpendicular, like they're not and they're attached at the head. But like their actual spirit is like hanging out.

00:45:04 Merrily

It's really weird and I'm like, you're really not in the body like you are just hanging out.

00:45:05

Yeah.

00:45:11 Emma

Yes, it's very common. It's very.

00:45:12 Merrily

Fascinating.

00:45:14 Merrily

Yes.

00:45:16 Emma

And often that will happen if we're experiencing like physical or emotional pain.

00:45:21 Merrily

Yeah.

00:45:22 Emma

You don't have the tools.

00:45:25 Emma

Or the support to be with and.

00:45:30 Emma

Acknowledged that pain that we're in.

00:45:33

Yeah.

00:45:34 Emma

Then you can't just. You can't like hard to.

00:45:36 Emma

Pop that.

00:45:37 Emma

You know, pop it back in.

00:45:38 Merrily

I don't want to go in there. Yeah.

00:45:41 Emma

You buy, like, enjoy being contained.

00:45:43 Merrily

Yeah.

00:45:44 Emma

That's why I'm really excited to have this offering because I was just seeing clients and clients like over and over like you were saying, who?

00:45:51 Merrily

Mm.

00:45:53 Emma

They they just needed, like really physical touch and.

00:45:56 Merrily

Yeah.

00:45:58 Emma

And I had learned to do that.

00:46:02 Emma

For myself, I had to learn to do it, to survive, and so I'm really excited to be able to share that with them and also to, like, encourage that relationship with their self and with their bodies.

00:46:15 Merrily

You can.

00:46:15 Emma

To grow.

00:46:17 Merrily

Yeah, I love it.

00:46:18 Merrily

Such good core offerings for people that you have outlines, it's really cool.

00:46:25 Merrily

So you.

00:46:25 Merrily

Wanna walk through 'cause? My next question was like do you have tips for when folks are feeling stuck or having a bad day?

00:46:32 Merrily

You said that you had an exercise which probably helps with that. And if you wanted to go through.

00:46:37 Merrily

That or.

00:46:39 Emma

Yeah. Well, I'm just thinking about what I would do if I.

00:46:42 Emma

Was having been.

00:46:43 Merrily

OK, we can we can do that question and then do the yes no exercise.

00:46:49 Emma

Well, I think it's just a really good question cause like I've been having some bad days lately.

00:46:53 Emma

Know about.

00:46:54 Emma

I don't know about anything listeners but.

00:46:54

Did you?

00:46:58 Emma

Been having some bad days and.

00:47:01

I think.

00:47:05 Emma

What goes such a long?

00:47:07 Emma

And that's been what's been going such a long way for me.

00:47:12 Emma

In navigating these bad days that have come up is.

00:47:17 Emma

Like.

00:47:20 Emma

Accepting them.

00:47:22 Emma

And just being like the most loving of myself that I can possibly muster, because I think in the past and still I have this.

00:47:35 Emma

You know, pattern within me of like when I'm having a bad day to beat myself up for having a bad day.

00:47:41 Merrily

Oh, right, yeah.

00:47:49 Emma

And I think that's really common and.

00:47:51 Emma

Just makes.

00:47:52 Emma

Everything worse.

00:47:53 Emma

It's just throwing poop at a fan.

00:47:56

Yes.

00:48:00 Emma

And and lately in the last the last few days I've had some tough days and with the support of my husband 'cause, he's just like adorable and, like loves on me so ********.

00:48:12 Emma

Amazing.

00:48:15 Emma

With his support and being able to kind of do it better myself, like meeting, meeting those experiences with so much love has made them actually transform.

00:48:29 Merrily

Hmm.

00:48:30 Emma

And whatever process I was in cause a lot of times when we're having bad days, we're just in process.

00:48:35 Emma

You know, we're processing things that have happened.

00:48:40 Emma

We're going through some growth.

00:48:43 Emma

If we're conscious enough, if we're not super conscious, then we can get kind of stuck in bad days and we can talk.

00:48:50 Emma

That's kind of a separate, but if we're if we're conscious and if we're open and we're.

00:48:57 Emma

Aware to a certain extent then, then often bad days are like, you know, when things are moving and transforming and changing and it's like a little uncomfortable because we're growing or tough things are happening, but it's not, you know.

00:49:13 Emma

It's for our growth and and and teaching us lessons that we need to learn.

00:49:18 Merrily

Yeah.

00:49:19 Emma

So yeah, I've just been like this whole week.

00:49:23 Emma

Just been like I love you so much.

00:49:26 Merrily

Yes.

00:49:27 Emma

Like it's OK that it's a bad day. I'm taking care of you.

00:49:31 Emma

Are gonna work out.

00:49:33 Emma

Just loving on myself like.

00:49:35 Emma

So that's what I would recommend for when you're having a bad day, and don't try to use your intuition when.

00:49:40 Emma

Having a bad day.

00:49:41 Merrily

Oh yeah, that's a great.

00:49:42 Merrily

A good advice.

00:49:46 Emma

Have a.

00:49:47 Emma

Watch a show. Make make yourself something special. Take.

00:49:50 Emma

Of your.

00:49:51 Merrily

Yeah.

00:49:52 Emma

And your intuition will come back when when the clouds part.

00:49:56 Merrily

Yes. Oh, beautifully.

00:49:58 Merrily

Yeah, I definitely take it as like, oh, it's time for that self-care day, right?

00:50:03 Merrily

Like I really need to like.

00:50:05 Merrily

Take care of myself for sure.

00:50:08 Merrily

Because unfortunately I don't think those bad days are gonna go away like we're human beings are gonna come, you know.

00:50:16 Merrily

So it's good to have different tools of sort of navigating that.

00:50:20 Emma

Yeah, me and me and my husband, we just.

00:50:25 Emma

We're really busy right now.

00:50:26 Emma

We both have a lot going on and so we would end every day.

00:50:28 Emma

Would end and.

00:50:29 Emma

Like, oh, such a such.

00:50:31 Emma

Big day like such a, you know, kind of like it's a bad thing, like, you know, like every day of the week. We're like, oh, it was another big day, you know?

00:50:40 Merrily

Right.

00:50:40 Emma

And we just started changing how we talk about it. So now we say really full day.

00:50:44

Next.

00:50:48 Emma

And that change has helped a lot, just even in the wording and how we understand, like even just bad days, you know, having a different phrase like, oh, it's a learning day or oh, it's a self-care day.

00:51:00 Merrily

Yeah.

00:51:02 Emma

Make a big difference too, because you're right.

00:51:04 Emma

We're human.

00:51:07 Emma

Like things aren't perfect.

00:51:10 Emma

And they're not meant to be. You know, we're not meant to be comfortable and and happy and.

00:51:16 Emma

All the time.

00:51:17 Merrily

Right.

00:51:19 Emma

All the.

00:51:20 Emma

There's gonna be challenges, but how we meet them?

00:51:25 Emma

Is what really makes a difference.

00:51:27 Merrily

Yes. Oh, wonderfully sad.

00:51:31 Merrily

So I guess now if you wanted to go do the the yes, no exercise. I think you mentioned.

00:51:37

Sure.

00:51:37 Merrily

Happy to do. Happy to do that. She sounds like.

00:51:39 Emma

Yeah, yeah, it's fun for people 'cause. Then they can.

00:51:43 Emma

Can do this at.

00:51:44 Emma

You can do this at home if you're driving.

00:51:48 Emma

Pause this pod.

00:51:50 Emma

And you can do this when you get home or you can pull over and do the exercise.

00:51:56 Emma

Where you're going.

00:51:58 Emma

So Yep, so this exercise we're just going to do a quick meditation and.

00:52:05 Emma

I'm just going to guide you to experience your yes and your your intuitive yes and your intuitive.

00:52:10 Emma

So I would like you to have in front of you a piece of paper and something to write with if possible it could also.

00:52:17 Emma

Well, I don't like it being electronic.

00:52:20 Emma

You say can also be your phone, but no.

00:52:23 Emma

Let's let's have it be a piece of paper and a pen.

00:52:28 Emma

So get yourself comfortable wherever you're sitting or.

00:52:33 Emma

Or laying down somewhere.

00:52:36 Emma

To find a space where you can sort of drop into your body.

00:52:43

Alive.

00:52:48 Emma

Do whatever little movements you need to do to get comfortable.

00:52:59 Emma

Take a moment to just notice what's here.

00:53:03 Emma

Notice where your attention is in your body.

00:53:03

Replay.

00:53:09 Emma

If there's any places of tightness or.

00:53:15 Emma

Tingling.

00:53:18 Emma

Just noticing.

00:53:21 Emma

Saying hello.

00:53:24 Emma

To your beautiful body.

00:53:33 Emma

So we're now gonna do a little.

00:53:39 Emma

A little this is this is what I do for my to turn my intuition on.

00:53:44 Emma

Have this little visualization.

00:53:48 Emma

And you can even. You can either use.

00:53:52

Oh.

00:53:54 Emma

Water or something?

00:53:58 Emma

A lot of some people don't love the water.

00:54:01 Emma

Some people love.

00:54:02 Emma

So if you love water, you can use.

00:54:04 Emma

But I want you to imagine in front of you.

00:54:08 Emma

Some thing to jump into.

00:54:12 Emma

It could be the ocean.

00:54:14 Emma

Could be a.

00:54:15 Emma

It could be a pile of leaves or it could be off a Cliff with a parachute.

00:54:21 Emma

Or maybe you can fly and you don't even need the parachute.

00:54:25 Emma

Whatever it is, just imagine a big, beautiful abyss. It could be jumping into a.

00:54:31 Emma

Of flowers.

00:54:32

OK.

00:54:35 Emma

A big comfy pile of duvets or warm laundry.

00:54:40 Emma

Something in front of you.

00:54:44 Emma

Imagine and visualize that for a moment.

00:54:47 Emma

Might see.

00:54:47 Emma

You might just sense it.

00:54:49 Emma

You might hear it.

00:54:53 Emma

And I'm just going to countdown from 3.

00:54:57 Emma

So 3 relaxing your muscles even more.

00:55:03 Emma

Connecting in with this.

00:55:06 Emma

Beautiful space.

00:55:09 Emma

2.

00:55:11 Emma

When noticing the details of this.

00:55:15 Emma

And.

00:55:16 Emma

What?

00:55:17 Emma

Do you smell?

00:55:20 Emma

What do you see?

00:55:27 Emma

And one preparing yourself and jumping, diving back, flipping into this beautiful.

00:55:38 Emma

Warm pile of laundry or.

00:55:43

Ocean.

00:55:46 Emma

To the clouds flying around.

00:55:51 Emma

Gorgeous. Good job, everyone.

00:55:55 Emma

Beautiful.

00:55:57 Emma

So now our bodies are relaxed, our minds are relaxed.

00:56:01 Emma

Feeling connected?

00:56:06 Emma

I'm going to now ask your intuition to communicate to you.

00:56:11 Emma

Your intuitive yes.

00:56:14 Emma

Please express to me my intuitive yes.

00:56:20 Emma

And I just want you to notice rest and notice.

00:56:25 Emma

What arises?

00:56:34 Emma

It might be really subtle. It's OK.

00:56:42 Emma

Just notice it. Take note.

00:56:53 Emma

Now please express to me my intuitive no.

00:57:08 Emma

What does a no.

00:57:11 Emma

Sound like taste like smell like, feel like look like.

00:57:25 Emma

Noticing what you sense.

00:57:39 Emma

Now we're gonna go back to the yes, please express to me my intuitive yes.

00:58:17 Merrily

The work.

00:58:21 Emma

And then.

00:58:23 Emma

Please express to me once again my intuitive no.

00:58:46 Emma

Amazing.

00:58:49 Emma

Now when you are ready, you can open your eyes and I want you to right.

00:58:54 Emma

Go to that pen and paper and make a note, even if it's super subtle or it just felt like a whisper of something.

00:59:02 Emma

Just make a note of the things that you noticed.

00:59:07 Emma

And then that will give you really important information about.

00:59:11 Emma

First of all, how you receive information from the world around you?

00:59:15 Emma

And second of all.

00:59:17 Emma

How your intuition will most likely communicate to you.

00:59:22

So.

00:59:23 Emma

For example, if you a really common one is, people will like.

00:59:31 Emma

They'll see a sun for yes and then like.

00:59:35 Emma

Gray blackness for. No, that's like a really common one.

00:59:40 Emma

So if if you saw something like that, if it was visual, this will tell you that you receive information around around.

00:59:50 Emma

You know, in your day-to-day life in a visual way, so you can work on developing your intuition by surrounding yourself with very pleasing.

01:00:01 Emma

Enjoyable visual experiences. So you really want to take care to make sure you have beautiful things in your house around you.

01:00:09 Emma

It's, you know, you have colors around you that you love and really take care.

01:00:16 Emma

To because that will support you in being able to stay present and raise your vibration throughout the day. If you heard something, it would be different. You know, if you heard different noises.

01:00:26 Emma

That would tell you that music or sound is really essential to how you live, so you can.

01:00:32 Emma

You can cultivate your life around that, and that will also support you in.

01:00:39 Emma

Being more open to that intuitive information when it comes through.

01:00:44 Merrily

So good that so well, I don't want to say it's simple, but it is like simple.

01:00:48 Merrily

It was very cool.

01:00:49 Merrily

I do want to share with my mind felt like 'cause. I thought it was pretty fun and any listeners. If you want to share happy listen. If you want to share what it felt like for you. But so for the yes, I kind of got like several differe.

01:01:05 Merrily

Like the same time, but it felt like initially I was like oh.

01:01:07 Merrily

Feels kind of.

01:01:07 Merrily

Pop rocks, you know, pop rocks are like champagne bubbles. And then, and that's what it felt like in my in my heart chakra.

01:01:16 Merrily

So it was like like that for yes.

01:01:18 Emma

And that.

01:01:20 Merrily

Yes. And so I even felt like.

01:01:23 Merrily

It was like I felt.

01:01:24 Merrily

And then I saw like, pink and gold colors. And then it, like, kinda heard like the pop pop like, like, very exciting. And it felt also like a giggle. Like when I giggle, it's like that.

01:01:38 Merrily

Sounds really.

01:01:39 Merrily

And then the no was like it's as if something like put a lid on it like a lid and it like pushed down into my riakakra and it was like no.

01:01:48 Merrily

Then it was very.

01:01:50 Merrily

Black or brown?

01:01:52 Merrily

The colors and it even had a sound to.

01:01:54 Merrily

Which was like.

01:01:58 Merrily

Bunk. So that was really fun.

01:02:02 Emma

I love.

01:02:03 Emma

I love the feeling of that. Like the bubbly, like effervescent, even thinking about like.

01:02:06

Thank you.

01:02:09 Emma

Fermenting.

01:02:10 Emma

Yes, are they're alive.

01:02:14

That.

01:02:14 Emma

Like sourdough starter like it's.

01:02:16 Merrily

Yes.

01:02:18 Emma

I've and like what a what a perfect.

01:02:21 Emma

Yes, that is, you know.

01:02:23 Emma

Yeah, full body, yes.

01:02:25 Merrily

Yeah. Like, yeah. Yeah, like of course.

01:02:27 Merrily

But it was pretty.

01:02:28 Merrily

It wasn't like Bubba ham or anything, but it is very subtle. So like you said, it's like sometimes it might be a little whiter.

01:02:35 Emma

Yeah, that's why it's really important to just write it down right away.

01:02:39

Yes.

01:02:41 Emma

Hide, turn on and be like, oh, you were just imagining it. Or it can so easily, like.

01:02:42

Yes.

01:02:48 Emma

Rationalize it away.

01:02:51 Emma

But the work of becoming more intuitive is is the work of really making the subtle less subtle?

01:02:59 Merrily

I love it, yes.

01:03:01 Emma

Yeah. So, so taking note and writing things down is a really important to that process of of believing yourself and allowing that subtlety to have meaning and significance in your life.

01:03:16 Merrily

So.

01:03:17 Merrily

Very cool so.

01:03:20 Merrily

Thanks Emma.

01:03:21 Merrily

So we're kind of wrapping it up.

01:03:23 Merrily
