🌟 Are you ready to unhook your past traumas and free your True Qi? The first step is to become the watcher and find the areas of your life where you have allowed yourself to be your true self. 👀 Can you be truly YOU vs the YOU that is being influenced by past trauma and external pressures? What have you acquired along that way that takes you away from being your true self? ☯️ Listen in as Leta and Jaye share tips on how you can identify your hooks by examining areas where your True Qi may have been distorted.  🚀 Take your first step towards self-discovery and healing with gentle kindness toward yourself!    - How you interface with the world: Observe your interactions in daily life, for example, at social events or while talking to people in mundane settings like the grocery store. It's normal to interface in different ways depending on your Element: If you're Wood, you'll likely be private, if you're Fire, you might be shy, if you're Earth, you might be really open, if you're Metal, you might hold back and watch, if you're Water, you might feel socially awkward at times and be very social other times. - Self-Doubt: Identify areas where you are doubting yourself and how this could be linked to past experiences. - Perception of the World: Examine whether you see the world as a threat and how this affects your authenticity. - Walking Your Path: Check if you are metaphorically on your life's intended path or if you are taking a detour. - Unconscious Beliefs: Understand if your deepest unconscious beliefs align with your stated beliefs. - Obsessive Thinking: Notice if certain thoughts dominate your mind and how to bring balance. - Authentic Self-Expression: Verify how you speak about yourself; avoid self-denigration and be genuine. - Heart Pains and Reactions: Be aware of deep emotions and how they can trigger disproportionate reactions. - Intimacy and True Qi: Explore your comfort level with intimacy and sharing your true self with loved ones. - Guilt, Shame, and Control: Acknowledge feelings of guilt and shame and how external control affects your Qi. - Identity and Authenticity: Reflect on whether you are the person you truly want to be and how closely you align with your authentic self.   Being gentle with yourself during this observation process. Acknowledging that trauma can make this process difficult and patience and kindness towards yourself are crucial. We are all on our unique Alchemical journey that is individual. Knowing that you don't have to do it alone, go it alone or be alone... we can share it with our global community of Alchemists at the AlchemyLearningCenter.com and InspiredActionPodcast.com.  Five Element Fridays Podcast. ********************************* Visit the Podcast Website: Click here to get more information on the Inspired Action podcast and the Five Element Fridays podcast.

🎶 Exploring metal music: It's all about duality. Metal has two modes - one's the rule-following, law-abiding, goody-two-shoes, and the other's rebellious, a big middle finger to society's norms. It's all about connection and loss, from funky dance vibes to a wild, head-banging frenzy. It's a fascinating range of music that swings between these extremes. 🎸🤘 #MetalMusic #Duality Show Notes: “Metal music is best characterized by its syncopated bass lines, polyrhythms, and the minor key. When metal music isn't getting down and funky, then it's usually evoking feelings of nostalgia, wistfulness, and being forlorn. And that's what the minor key does in music. It actually makes you feel forlorn.” What is Metal music energetically? - Funky and wistful Genres that tend to be more Metal - Folk, the Blues, Funk, Jazz, Heavy Metal, Gothic and Punk Rock Metal dancing - deep knee bending, hip grinding Metal singers: Amy Winehouse, Lorde, Stevie Nicks, Cher, Mazzy Starr, Joni Mitchell, Sade, Loretta Lynn, Lucinda Williams, Ella Fitzgerald, Lana Del Rey, John Lennon, Sting, David Bowie, Prince, Tom Petty, Neil Young. Bob Weir, Darius Rucker, and Leonard Cohen How the second Element affects Metal music “Think of it like the trees shedding their leaves in autumn. That's the Metal season. It's like waving goodbye to those sunny summer days. Goodbye, friends. We may or may not see you again.” "The truth is, all of us "F" up. You know, all of us, all the time, we're F-ing up, and yet, we just don't talk about it that way or sing about it the way Metals do. They love to sing about it, apparently."

And then the music is melodramatic.” "So getting fired up is not the same as when wood gets pumped up, there's a difference. So when you get pumped up...

Are you flowing freely in your life? Or are you frozen in your life, afraid to take your next step? Or are you stubbornly not letting go of the anger you feel? These are just a couple reasons why your heart may not be free if you’re the Water Element. Listen and learn how you can face your Water challenges. "So remember, living in a state of anticipation...this is water. And hopefully that anticipation is like a really wonderful feeling of exciting events in the future. But we always say your greatest gift can be your worst nightmare for every element. So this excitement for life can also be dread and terror for life when life is potentially delivering bad stuff in the future. "   What are the Water tentacles of the heart? The number seven is the number of potential. And Water is all about potential! Waters don't mind waiting because they live in anticipation. You're not a freak or an alien... you might just be WATER! Master Alchemy Apprenticeship Program starts in September. Sign up is now to complete the prerequisites. October Alchemy retreat: Building Your Alchemical Cauldron. Only a few spots left! Water is the most varied Elemental type. Waters excel in an emergency. Drama, trauma and the Dalai Lama - Waters love intensity and quietude/wisdom/meditation - the challenge is to have good intensity not bad intensity in life. Likely Water tentacles are: Fear, Apathy, Over-Indulgence and Deep-Seated Anger. The emotion associated with Water is often translated as "fear" but we like to use the word "anticipation." Fear as a negative emotion is more like PTSD. It's about freedom... do you have the freedom to drive on the highway even if you feel afraid? Anticipation should be a really wonderful feeling of excitement about the future. The Thirteen Ghost Points in Pod 29 and Pod 30. The Apathy tentacle is like being frozen in fear - like the Deer in the Headlights or Woolly Mammoth version of Water - a refusal to move and flow. The feeling of lack can bring out the over-indulgence tentacle for Waters. Waters can tend to not want to confront and stuff their anger, which causes the Deep-Seated Anger tentacle. To free yourself from these tentacles, do the Free Your Heart meditation in the Stage Two of Alchemy meditations in the Alchemy Learning Center.       One might be like a still pool of water and one might be like a rushing river, and those two don't seem alike at all... but wait a while, a couple minutes, a couple hours... time doesn't matter to water. They might even switch places energetically because all waters have the capability of being a calm lake or a tsunami.

For Metals, a Free Heart can mean the difference between flying and falling. How can the Metal Elemental type free their hearts and fly free in life? Can you let the power of the Metal Lungs let go of deep-seated anger and jealousy to fly their magic carpet through life instead of falling and going splat? "If you can say that you always do this particular thing whenever that particular situation happens, the question is why ... and at the core of this is the idea that those issues probably come from your heart pains, which come from past experiences that we can't let go of, and are haunted by -- even if it's completely unconscious." What are the Metal tentacles of the heart? Update from Alchemy Learning Center: Dai Mai Livestream Course Coming up on April 16! Learn about the Master Alchemy Apprenticeship Program! 2023 cohort now open for enrollment Apathy and Deep Seated Anger are the the primary tentacles for Metal people (bonus: Temptation and Jealousy). The Yin nature of Metals makes them more reserved and observant - less "overly involved" - so more prone to retreat and shutting down. A Metal person's nightmare could have them feeling disconnected and unable to find the way back. The Apathy is the feeling that they'd rather do nothing -- life is just too painful -- when they've experienced deep trauma and the disconnect can feel all encompassing. Apathy can be a mechanism where total surrender of CONTROL (especially in instances of trauma and abuse) allows for the Metal person to survive the circumstances of their environment. Even if they aren't doing something about it, a Metal person is going to feel Deep Seated Anger at the injustice of the situation; this could be suppressed and building up until a time when it explodes! Metals tend not to overindulge on things like food, though they might feel tempted by things they aren't supposed to have... A Metal person can get really stuck in addiction if it feeds the impulse to be non-compliant with a norm (they follow the rules but find ways to be slightly deviant) -- think about the "cool" smoker. Moxibustion or incense could help to offset some feelings of lack if a Metal smoker decides to quit. Metal Jealousy is about not getting the RESPECT they deserve, and seeing others get it. The Free Your Heart Meditation can help you to re-write the memories of experiences which have caused these tentacles to develop and create triggers in your life today. Thought Quote: "Notoriously some of the big kings and queens of rock and roll, sex and drugs, but in everyday life, we have them around us of course...they just love a good Rebel Yell!"

How can Earths free their hearts and feel a sense of abundance and nourishment in life? Can you let go of resentments and heal from the past... Tune in for this core Earth Element episode! "The first step is acknowledging that the problem isn't outside of you. That these outer circumstances are happening, but inside it's time to look at yourself and why you're being so triggered...so first ask yourself: what are the triggers?" By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What are your Earth tentacles of the heart? What would happen if the Earth came to an abrupt halt?! Revisit Pod 2 and Pods 12-16 to brush up on basics of the Five Elements Two types of Earth: Stomach and Spleen. What does each mean? Food can play a major role in an Earth person's life...sometimes positive, sometimes negative. Earth people sometimes struggle with feelings of lack, coupled with a denial of this feeling, and this can occasionally lead to... Overindulgence. Some Earth people have tentacles that mess with their appetite, and may develop an eating disorder. The flavor of Deep Seated Anger for Earth is Resentment, and when unaddressed this can come out in some not-so-nice ways... Earth is right in the middle of Yin & Yang, and has some of both aspects. Earth Apathy can be understood as an extreme version of putting others' needs ahead of their own Occasional Jealousy (or Envy) can happen for Earths, especially when coupled with the deep seated anger and/or resentment. Earth people do not like feeling like they've been "duped"! How to address these tentacles? Earth goes into problem solving mode -- but can go round and round--so it's important to look inward. Check out the Free Your Heart Meditation in the Second Stage of Alchemy Meditations in the Alchemy Learning Center to practice this! Thought Quote: "They may have learned from trauma that they just don't matter at all, which is different than the Water wanting to matter, and they just go along with others, just to stay safe. They don't want to rock the boat or cause a rift." Jaye McElroy Links in this Episode: The Alchemy Learning Center -- a new online community of learning.

Supreme lover or supreme controller? Which are you? Are you trying to fill a hole of lack of love? Are you getting the love you deserve? Or are you trying to control everything and everyone around you? What stokes your fire and how can you spark your authentic heart again? Maybe they also even got bullied in school, and maybe it came more from this feeling of isolation among friends. So that could be where Fire might feel a lack of love. And then, you know, when fire's not loved... it's disastrous. By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram https://chrt.fm/track/5E3D1B/traffic.libsyn.com/inspiredactionpodcast/IAP-104_rev3.mp3 What are your Fire tentacles of the heart ? Fires tend towards over-indulgence, temptation, ego/pride and jealousy. Why Fires love a good smorgasbord The over-indulgence tentacle - filling the lack of love hole The temptation tentacle - also filling the lack of love hole Demi-sexual, and being attracted to those you have an emotional attachment to Healing the tentacle by going through the past and rewriting it The ego/pride tentacle - coming from the Fire need to be the Supreme Controller The jealousy tentacle - comparing yourself to other who have the love For the Trekkies out there - Smorgasborg! Thought Quote: And don't forget to wear smorgasbord pants. The ones with the stretchy elastic waist. I usually say buffet pants, but that word is out. That is so like 1990! Right now we're saying smorgasbord pants. Fires love a lot of variety. We love to see variety everywhere we look in our visual field. That's why parties are so cool. There's lots of color, there's lots of people, and you know, the people are the most interesting. So let's just say you're Fire and you have a feeling of lack inside, deep inside. that would be a heart pain. And that makes you feel like you need to fill this, lack - like a giant hole inside. And it's a constant sense of hunger. And so instead of going out and making friends and doing your fun Fire thing, you stand by that smorgasbord at the parties and stuff yourself nervously, and then you go home and eat an entire container of Paul Newman's O's.

The Wood version of a poncho – Celine Dion in a cape! What to take on the Titanic, singing Celine Dion, and why Leonardo DiCaprio couldn’t fit on the door! Wood is the change agent of the world, and frustration or anger is what gives them the impetus to create that change. The Wood mind is constantly calculating odds and possible outcomes…it’s about optimal circumstances for survival at all times. The Wood way is about finding a better way, especially when its a Win-Win.
