It's happy hour, bitches. It's happy hour and actually this happy hour I am sober. I want to share this. It's an adaptogenic, neurotropic, botanical sparkling bubbly drink, right? So if you are, maybe you had a long week and you drank all week and drank yesterday then you said, hey, maybe time for a little break, maybe time to chill on that? Yeah, But the cool thing about it. So I'm drinking the peach mango flavor.
Speaker 1:Yep delish And it's called hyal. It's really good and you can get it online. We'll put the link in there but it only has 30 calories, which is nice. Five grams of sugar. It's all organic. There's all kinds of cool shit in there, but a lot like cordyceps, mushrooms, tomeric and lion mane and they have what they call the feeling that gives you. they call it the float. So instead of a buzz, they call it the float. Instead of a buzz, go on a float with hyal and we totally love it. They do not sponsor us, but we're open.
Speaker 2:I hope they do Give us a holler.
Speaker 1:But it's so good if you're feeling a little over the drink.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, or honestly yeah, if you're at a barbecue or a party or something and you're just you're not into drinking that day, or you don't drink, or whatever. This is an excellent, excellent alternative.
Speaker 1:Yes, i love it. Wanted to get that. Share that because we want to share any new products we find for our gals. And happy hour This one. We're gonna focus on a couple cool experiences. We've had doing sound baths and meditations over the last couple weeks with one of our favorite people in the whole world called Kristen. Fritz, yes, magical goddess, she's amazing.
Speaker 2:I told her that I know if a butterfly was a person. that's how she because he was like oh, like, what's she like? And I was like basically that's the only way I can describe her If, like, this big majestic butterfly turned into a person it would be. Kristen Fritz.
Speaker 1:Yes, I love that. I absolutely love that. Yeah, she, I, yeah, I've never met anybody like her and she's, you know, definitely touched my life and yours.
Speaker 2:I think right And Tammy, my stepmom, loves her.
Speaker 1:She's going. We've brought you know cousin Nicole there. So anyways, her ripple effect is huge. Yes, it is, but so we want to share. We went to a meditation at her house. She opened back up her meditation calendar for this summer. She has beautiful studio on Lake Oswego. Hello, it is small, like I don't know if there's like 10 or 11 people in there.
Speaker 2:She said that the studio fits 12. And when she does like. So what time Tammy and I did the sound bath outside on the dock. That's about 30. Okay, cool And so to do the in studio meditation. You really have to be like yes yes And lucky we were.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we were.
Speaker 1:So, she had her first one of the season. We both went. It was amazing. Yeah, it was focused on the Sophia century, which, if you're intrigued by that, google it. And I brought my own Sophia. Yes, you brought your Sophia. I was there. Sophia is just rock in the world. I think I mentioned this last season, but I read a book called the Sophia code, which is all about this sort of energy, this divine, feminine wisdom that's here and how to connect with the goddesses. So that's a beautiful book, yeah, but do some research on it. It was fabulous And the meditation was all around that and what you were focusing on it to bring that to life for yourself. Like, what were you? what were you focusing on? So, of course, i chose love, because that's my jam.
Speaker 2:And yeah, it was super beautiful.
Speaker 1:How about you?
Speaker 2:I loved it myself, of course. I mean, it's such a calming space, she is such like an inviting energy. I just, you know you can't go wrong. Can't go wrong when you're hanging out with Christian Fritz. Yeah, mine, i feel the what had, what came up for me and came to me during that meditation with support, and I'm balancing sort of like how much do I rely on others to support me and how much can I really support myself? And not obviously financially, but like mental stability and like partnership and how to keep this row boat a row it, you know, if you will. So, yeah, it was really insightful and they always are. Yeah, i felt a lot of, you know, calming It's funny to say like powerful energy, because it wasn't like a masculine type of like rush sort of energy, but it was powerful and like a very calming, empowering way.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I should say Yeah, I love that. Yeah so if you live in the area, you must go, and then she did a sound bath.
Speaker 2:Yes so.
Speaker 2:Summer solstice, yep. So while you were out of town, tammy and I went to the summer solstice sound bath Absolutely gorgeous, met some really cool people, one woman specifically that I hope will have on the show, so TBD on that, but it was eye opening. It sort of felt like like she really tapped into. You know, what do you need to feel right now in order to be your most like empowered self? You know what can you tell yourself, even if you don't believe that it's fully true right now, what do you need to be true? What are you working towards to to become your most empowered self? And so you know, for me it was a lot of like I am strong, i am capable, i am loved. You know that sort of vibe because it really was about like building up your own sense of who you are and knowing that you carry this power within you.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It was really incredible. It's one of those things that's so hard to talk about later, because in the moment it's so powerful and in the moment you're really in it, you're just like nothing else is there, almost. So then when you try to tap back into it, it just seems almost like a dream that's slipping away. You know it's like you're trying right after you wake up and you're trying to recall it and it's just not. I wish I could record the whole thing and then just play it every day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's how you know it was I was sad to miss it.
Speaker 1:I mean, the lunch she did last year for the Full Moon in August was super beautiful, yeah, and at night and the bats came out, it was really great. But this was summer solstice, right, so it was a different energy, sounds like it was a little bit different energy and but still just packed right Totally. It was a lot of people there.
Speaker 2:Yep, every seat was full.
Speaker 1:That's so cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean it feels really special to be able to be a part of that community because it is very like you have to know someone who knows someone just to get to the list.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:I've never felt so included.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i love it. We did an episode last season I think I don't know which one it was but we talked about sound healing and kind of the magic behind it. So we're not going to talk too much about that in a happy hour Maybe we'll. Maybe we'll have a sound healer on and they can explain it to us. That'd be great. If you're a sound healer, give us a shout. Yep, but we want like science of it and what it does. The sound bath I was at well, actually she's amazing, So maybe she wants to be interviewed.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Sam, if you're listening, I let her know we'd be talking about her and the experience on the happy hour, so hopefully she's listening, hit me.
Speaker 2:We'd love to interview you, yeah.
Speaker 1:So in Arizona, speaking of couples doing things together, it was.
Speaker 1:Kyle's 40th birthday. So we were in Scottsdale and I was trying to find a sound healing there, kind of like we did at the beach with a healing exercise, and like wherever we go, got to find something cool, yeah, and I was laying in bed one night, a couple nights before the trip, maybe a week, and I kept seeing this chick and like she had this studio and I was like, well, i wonder where she's at. And I happened to look and she was in Scottsdale, of course, and she's like a full on healer. Her mantra or her phrase is I rise, you rise. She's super beautiful Love. That You can follow her on her Instagram is Sam underscore E underscore pants, so Sammy pants.
Speaker 1:Her name's Samantha Harper, so she's a website. You can follow all her links there, and the studio is the portal Arizona. So that's where we went to her studio And so they also have an Instagram. It's a community, i think as well, and it's home of modern Reiki and the sound chamber. Very cool. You got to check it out. I saw it on there and I was like we are doing this. I'm taking Kyle, he's turned 40, let's go.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:So and met her. She was such a beautiful energy. We went in and I want to say, is it two or six? It was like eight of us, It's about eight of us and it was in this cool like oh, I don't even like really old retro space, It was very cool, vibes.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Very artsy And so really the intention of going was just to, you know, try something new in Arizona, but get some healing energy for Kyle as he turns 40. He's never done anything like that, he's never been to Christens, he's never done anything And I've done the previous sound baths, which I love, so we walk in. She was super welcoming and lovely And this one gal was actually late and she goes. The girl was like oh my God, i'm so sorry And she goes. You know that you're never late, you're always exactly on time you know, she had this like totally different energy and I was really, really cool.
Speaker 1:And then she came around and she had like sage, yeah, and in this bowl and she would go around to each person and kind of cleanse our energy as she walked around. She walked us through like a beautiful, just information on the practice and the different chakras and the different bowls aligned to them, kind of gave us the setup right, like here's what they mean, here's how you might feel, here's what's gonna happen. Very, you know, get too settled and chill. So that felt really good. We started with some breath work, just easy breath work, breathing in and out, getting yourself really centered. So that was beautiful. And then we all laid down, we had little blankets and got cozy. She started the sound healing At the beginning of it. I was laying down and my stomach started feeling a little like. Then I was like, oh man, what's gonna?
Speaker 1:happen here Like you know, the stomach was getting a little cagey. So, and she had started it by saying either place your hands up, you know to receive, or down to the earth for grounding, because we're laying down right, Okay. So hands are down. Then she like she's doing the sound bath and during it, So my stomach starts getting weird lower stomach and my hands are down, I just intuitively like, and she kept saying that your body will know what to do. So but I did.
Speaker 1:Okay, all of a sudden my hands were like hot, intuitively, my body's like put your hands on your lower stomach, right, cause I was feeling this. So I put my hands over my lower tummy and the heat energy was going into my body and it started working its way up right. So this feeling that was lower tummy, intestinal, started like slowly working its way up right And I could feel it and I could, I was visualizing it almost as it was happening, as this dark energy that was just like this stuck energy, it starts working its way up and I have my hands on my tummy and I slowly move my hands up toward the next, you know, shocker point where I could feel it coming up and it was coming up and it was taking like it probably took like 15 minutes for this full thing to happen, or maybe about 20.
Speaker 1:So I'm making it sound faster than it was but, it was a slow burn.
Speaker 1:I knew I was purging something And so, as it started to work up into my heart chakra, like it started to get heavy on my chest and a little bit like you couldn't breathe, a little bit just, but not in a scary way, but just, you know it was moving up And the part where it got most intense was so she would walk around too and we each had a bowl next to us and it was funny because I didn't know which bowl I was sitting next to. We all just chose our spots and I was sitting next to the grounding one, the root chakra, which I've, you know, need a lot of in my life because I'm very air energy. So she would come around and, like you know, between each person and kind of do the bowls, and so, as she was coming towards me, that's when it really started to get up into the chest area And I felt like I was going to cough and I was like, please, please, i do not want to ruin these people's sound bath. You just picture everybody being disturbed. I'm like fighting this cough and I'm like fuck.
Speaker 1:You know, if you've ever been in school or a place where you can't cough, it's that tickling, itching And it's like burning, And so I'm holding it. She's walking towards me, it's getting stronger and stronger. She's coming over to my bowl and she's kneeling down and she's on the bowl and it starts coming and I'm like swallowing. I'm like I'm trying to swallow it down because it's coming up.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to stuff it down.
Speaker 1:I'm stuffing the cough down by swallowing, and I'm just like I keep swallowing, and swallowing, and swallowing, and then it starts to come up in the throat So it moves out of the lungs. That God, i did not cough.
Speaker 2:My God, but it was.
Speaker 1:It was like I was trying to choke this thing down and it came up into my throat and then it was like all hot and heavy And then it slowly felt moved into my head, up into my third eye, and it was really heavy in my crown for a long time, like it sat at the top of my head And I was just imagining like the you know, the dark cloud like coming out of the top, like just like in a little stream And you know, after a few minutes of that and breathing and stuff, it finally went away. I will say like after it I still felt a little headsy for a few hours And she said the sound healing can last up to 72 hours, like the effects of it.
Speaker 1:But yeah, that was my experience fully. like I just purged this, I don't know what it was. I mean, i assume that over the next, you know, a few weeks and months I'll probably realize what I purged out, but it was crazy.
Speaker 2:Did you talk to her about it?
Speaker 1:No, i no, I didn't, i was nervous, i was nervous, but you know, maybe if we have her on, she could tell me more about, like, what that was, or you know, definitely, like when I was tapping in, intuitively it was, it was definitely like. You know, don't worry, this is this. You know, we're purging this energy from your body, right, and I think that's the fact that it came from my lower tummy and it just like came out. It was so, so interesting, yeah, wow, Very intense, and I highly recommend it because it was like a beautiful, a beautiful experience.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I feel like anytime you can really feel that shift in your body, it's, it's a magnified Yes, You know it really is.
Speaker 1:That's good stuff, so, yeah, so she was great, i think, yeah, we would love to have you on, sam, and you could help explain what all this is and sound healing and all of that to our audience.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And, yeah, it was beautiful. Kyle had had a great experience as well. I mean, he saw some colors and definitely felt in a different realm Kyle has. He has challenges visualizing but he meditates and he has meditated. He doesn't do it as frequently as I do, but he was definitely tapped in as well and truly enjoyed the experience. So overall it was great. Yeah, it's highly recommend, but these are just. This is like invest in yourself, go to these beautiful experiences. You know you can do sound healing on there's YouTube's there's. You know you can get a cheaper headphones and get some sound healing in some meditation.
Speaker 2:Yeah well, and trust your own self. You can pace it, it's not a deal Like. it doesn't have to be structured. You know it's great if it is, if you have someone who knows what they're doing, an instructor like what you and I have.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know. But if you are just trying to dip your toe and it's okay to just explore a little bit and you know, see what comes up, yeah, that sort of made me think of when we did the Meditation at Kristen's house in the studio.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And it was very much like all of the energy from like one limb at a time and you're fusing all this energy into your spine and then you were releasing it all and it was like all about, like what you need, and I was pulling the energy you're supposed to like, pull from your fingertips, like through your wrist, through your forearm, through your elbow, and my energy got stuck.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:And I was like go like you, follow the path like it was so stuck and had to totally relax, yeah, and totally let go of trying to force it to happen. And finally it's like I felt my body literally kind of click, yeah, and then it flowed all the way up my arm, into my shoulder, into my spine And I was like man, i wonder what like energy your elbow holds.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was like what's stuck there?
Speaker 2:I? you know I tried, but I got to reach out to like. Gwen or someone who knows like what they're talking about.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, that would be great. Yeah, reach out to her So that happy hour. We're always bringing you some practices, we're trying people to recommend all that fun stuff. And I wanted to share one more thing Just. It's a place where we also share, like manifestation stories from us, our audience, our friends, people who obviously give us the approval to share, and so this one this happened a while ago, but I just, for some reason, really think it needs to be shared, because I do get a lot of questions about like well, why don't my manifestations happen? Like you know, i really wanted this thing and I totally believed it and I saw it and this and that, and it didn't happen. So it's what the fuck you know?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And the answer is really, sometimes you do not know what the universe has in store for you. You might want all of these things, and that's where we've talked a lot about trust and surrender, and so this story is going to highlight for you that in a very, in a big way, but you're not always going to get to know this. So the example is I had a friend and she said I can share the story. She was manifesting a new apartment, a new home like a condo in downtown and gorgeous, right. So she was manifesting it and she found this one and she'd sent me pictures and was like, oh my God, this, i love this one, it's great, she's a tour. You know, she loved it, yeah. And a few days later she found out she didn't get it right. Well, a few more weeks go by, she ends up getting a different place that she totally loves, right, she finds this other place. She will tell you like it's. I went, i visited it, it's gorgeous magical.
Speaker 1:So her. But a few weeks after she'd gotten this new place that ended up being better for her she found out that that the one the initial one that she wanted had caught fire. So it was on the news. It had caught fire and people had to be a fire and people had to be evacuated and there's fire damage and all of that. So, being your manifestations, i was telling her I'm like that is like a literal, like you never, you never get to clearly see why something didn't work out. You know you don't.
Speaker 2:You don't ever get to know that, you don't always get to see the apartment on fire.
Speaker 1:Yes, You don't get to see the apartment on fire, yeah, and to see it and go. Thank you, universe, for not giving me that apartment.
Speaker 2:Yes, right, yes, yes.
Speaker 1:So if you can learn to let go and just trust that, whatever reason that manifestation did not come to you, yes don't blame it on the process, don't blame it on it doesn't work. Just know, like that's part of manifesting, yeah, letting go, releasing, trusting Being in flow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think that everyone can think of something that they've been really grateful They didn't get that they thought they wanted. Yeah, some makes sense Yeah everyone, at some point or another, has been like God, if only I had this one thing, didn't get it super bummed at the time, and then realize like, oh god, i'm glad that didn't happen. Can you imagine? Yeah if what I thought I wanted so bad.
Speaker 2:I would have had that thing, it would have wrecked this, whatever, and so, knowing that's Always the case, even when you don't see it, even when you don't see on the news the apartments on fire, you have to know that, like if it's not meant for me, it's not coming to me. Yeah plain and simple, and when you let go of that belief of like I need it, proof that it wasn't meant for me, for me Yeah.
Speaker 2:I need proof that I, you know, didn't actually want what I thought I wanted. Let go of that idea. You can open your mind up to such bigger opportunities and just trust like what's meant for me is coming to me and I will always have exactly what I need. I am exactly where I'm supposed to be. Yeah, like that's for me, that's a lesson. And also I, this one always gets me and people like am I manifesting wrong?
Speaker 1:am.
Speaker 2:I doing it wrong.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:And my answer always is you can't. You can't manifest wrong, you can't meditate wrong, you can't create wrong. Yeah, it's, it's always happening All the time. You're not, you're not a, you're not switching it on and off, be, you're not doing something wrong to create some other manifestation. If you're in flow and you're always like really trusting the universe and kind of letting go of the idea that you have to Like control the outcome, then It's always going to be right for you. Like you had said a long time ago, you're never gonna be right for the wrong opportunity. Yeah, that's, that's the belief that you need to carry when, when the thing that you think you want Doesn't happen, doesn't come to you. You have to remember that if it's right for you, it will. Yes, plain and simple. Yes, it's not difficult, it's not. It's the Jello, yeah, episode one green, fucking Jello man green.
Speaker 1:Jello Squeeze it too hard.
Speaker 2:It's slipping right through your fingers. Don't do it, just let it go.
Speaker 1:Let it go. Yeah, it's not easy, we get that, but of course So. anyways, that wraps up happy hours kind of a mishmash.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I like that's a happy hour.
Speaker 1:Is bitches, yeah, sober happy hour.
Speaker 2:Yeah, touching on all the things. You.
