Welcome to the Art of Life Podcast.

Speaker: 00:00:02

I'm Kanika, I'm a meditation teacher.

Speaker: 00:00:04

My purpose with this podcast is to share tips on how you can start

Speaker: 00:00:09

creating a better life simply by playing with your imagination.

Speaker: 00:00:13

You can heal past pain and traumas, and you can create the high vibration life

Speaker: 00:00:21

that you wanted simply by being in a kid's space and just playing a little bit.

Speaker: 00:00:26

So let's dive straight in.

Speaker: 00:00:29

Hi there, and welcome to another episode of The Art of Life podcast.

Speaker: 00:00:34

I'm so glad you can join me on this one.

Speaker: 00:00:36

This is a very special episode.

Speaker: 00:00:40

We're talking about healing your past.

Speaker: 00:00:44

I do have a lot of questions that I get around this, how someone

Speaker: 00:00:48

can get past their traumas, their childhood experiences, maybe their

Speaker: 00:00:53

life patterns that causes them to be stuck in the current lifetime.

Speaker: 00:00:59

How can they release it?

Speaker: 00:01:03

In my last episode, and I'll link it to this one in the show notes.

Speaker: 00:01:09

In my last episode, I talked about pain.

Speaker: 00:01:15

Basically, anything that is external to us, something that doesn't

Speaker: 00:01:19

match our vibration is pain.

Speaker: 00:01:24

It doesn't matter if it came with a good intention or if there was just some

Speaker: 00:01:28

whacky energy that was thrown at us.

Speaker: 00:01:31

So somebody could have very well-meaning prayers for me, for example, but if

Speaker: 00:01:36

they don't align with my concepts, then that can be pain for me.

Speaker: 00:01:44

I have explained another tool called grounding for pain as well.

Speaker: 00:01:49

So grounding is how you connect with the earth and your release stress and anxiety

Speaker: 00:01:54

or past traumas and pretty much everything and anything, you can heal with grounding.

Speaker: 00:02:02

You can start healing with grounding.

Speaker: 00:02:05

I have been meditating for such a long time.

Speaker: 00:02:07

Grounding is just one of my favorite tools.

Speaker: 00:02:10

I use it all the time.

Speaker: 00:02:12

This is typically how I start my day, how I end my day.

Speaker: 00:02:15

So I do highly recommend you getting this ebook.

Speaker: 00:02:20

You can find it at artoflifecenter.com/grounding/

Speaker: 00:02:24

All the pain is typically stored in our body in the form of pictures.

Speaker: 00:02:30

Just imagine like little pictures on maybe a gingerbread version of you.

Speaker: 00:02:36

You know, like just a stick figure or an oval figure for your shape.

Speaker: 00:02:40

However you wanna draw your body shape and just imagine lots of pictures there.

Speaker: 00:02:44

Essentially, it's just a visualization to say, well, this is where you carry

Speaker: 00:02:50

charge, positive or negative for some experiences that happened in your life.

Speaker: 00:02:56

Everything that we store, all the memories, we just

Speaker: 00:02:59

store them with pictures.

Speaker: 00:03:01

Pictures in my body, pictures in the aura layer as well.

Speaker: 00:03:06

So everything is just like pictures.

Speaker: 00:03:08

And once you clear the pictures out, then you can clear out the feeling

Speaker: 00:03:16

that you're associating with that.

Speaker: 00:03:19

So in that sense, whether that is past traumas, or past circumstances, past

Speaker: 00:03:25

energy, you can just heal pretty much anything by just clearing those pictures.

Speaker: 00:03:32

Grounding is a tremendous way to start as well.

Speaker: 00:03:36

So some of the pictures that we will have around a particular memory,

Speaker: 00:03:42

sometimes they can get really strong.

Speaker: 00:03:46

They can have a very, very negative charge, and it could also be

Speaker: 00:03:51

that some pictures get linked.

Speaker: 00:03:54

That's why the charge on those becomes like a little circuit almost.

Speaker: 00:03:59

So let's say you are triggered by something that happened in your childhood

Speaker: 00:04:05

and now you are wanting to let go of that.

Speaker: 00:04:11

Didn't work.

Speaker: 00:04:13

Somehow the picture just stayed in your body.

Speaker: 00:04:15

And usually, when we don't have a way to release, the

Speaker: 00:04:19

pictures just stay in our body.

Speaker: 00:04:21

Because we don't know how to release, we just try and bandage them somehow.

Speaker: 00:04:25

But the pictures carrying the pain, they still stay in our body aura.

Speaker: 00:04:30

So we still feel the pain.

Speaker: 00:04:31

We just numb it down a little bit.

Speaker: 00:04:35

So as time passes, maybe your childhood experience was something involving

Speaker: 00:04:43

the cupcake, just as an example.

Speaker: 00:04:46

It could just be that after some time, maybe even years, you have a friend you're

Speaker: 00:04:51

talking about color of a dress and the color sort of connects with that cupcake

Speaker: 00:05:01

that you had when you were a little child.

Speaker: 00:05:03

And there's a traumatic memory related to that, and you might not even know

Speaker: 00:05:09

in your very conscious understanding of the world that that's what's happening,

Speaker: 00:05:15

but somehow it might just be that you're having this very disconnected conversation

Speaker: 00:05:20

with your friend involving a dress and somehow that triggers the memory of

Speaker: 00:05:26

that cupcake and whatever trauma was associated while you were doing that.

Speaker: 00:05:31

And then that whole thing gets triggered and that's how you feel suddenly.

Speaker: 00:05:37

So pictures can be interconnected and they might not make sense in

Speaker: 00:05:44

real time in your physical world how you are experiencing things.

Speaker: 00:05:50

Basically they carry memory and there's something behind something

Speaker: 00:05:55

and behind something that's going on, which causes you to react to the

Speaker: 00:06:00

situation in a very different manner.

Speaker: 00:06:03

And your friend at the other end, and even you, yourself, why

Speaker: 00:06:06

you're actually talking on dress.

Speaker: 00:06:08

You might go like, oh my God, I don't even know why I reacted

Speaker: 00:06:11

that way or why that conversation was just so off putting for me.

Speaker: 00:06:17

So the great thing that you can do with meditation, and I'll just share a very

Speaker: 00:06:23

beautiful exercise in a few minutes as well, around healing your past.

Speaker: 00:06:29

The great thing about meditation is just that you can clear these things.

Speaker: 00:06:39

You can start clearing these patterns in your past life.

Speaker: 00:06:44

Sometimes some of the patterns will make sense to you.

Speaker: 00:06:48

Not all of them will, but you don't need to fully understand

Speaker: 00:06:53

them to start clearing them.

Speaker: 00:06:55

You can just start clearing them.

Speaker: 00:06:58

And so now let me get sharing a beautiful, fun exercise on healing

Speaker: 00:07:05

your past and let's do this.

Speaker: 00:07:09

So I'm not gonna go into full details.

Speaker: 00:07:12

I'm just getting to give you like a little prompt, and this is for you to play.

Speaker: 00:07:17

Imagine you have got dots all over your body, wherever you are charged . My

Speaker: 00:07:24

favorite always is just take out a drawing paper, a pen and paper, and some crayons,

Speaker: 00:07:30

some pencil colours, and just draw.

Speaker: 00:07:33

So just imagine you've got like a human figure on there and just put dots.

Speaker: 00:07:39

You don't even have to know.

Speaker: 00:07:41

Just start putting the dots randomly.

Speaker: 00:07:43

And you can imagine that this is where you are charged.

Speaker: 00:07:47

Like you don't need to know what is the past trigger.

Speaker: 00:07:52

You just need to know the pictures literally.

Speaker: 00:07:55

So just put the dots and your imagination is okay.

Speaker: 00:07:58

Just imagine that you are putting the dots wherever you are charged.

Speaker: 00:08:03

You can put in as many as you want.

Speaker: 00:08:05

You can put in as little as you want.

Speaker: 00:08:08

Personally because I love clearing out, so I will put in lot more

Speaker: 00:08:13

dots and I will not even think whether I'm doing it right or wrong.

Speaker: 00:08:18

It doesn't matter.

Speaker: 00:08:18

There's literally nothing wrong that you can do with all of this,

Speaker: 00:08:22

so just put in as many dots as you like on that piece of paper.

Speaker: 00:08:27

Imagining that that is you, that is just the charge that

Speaker: 00:08:30

you carrying in your space.

Speaker: 00:08:33

And then as you do that and as you sit down, imagine you are

Speaker: 00:08:38

washing one of those dots away.

Speaker: 00:08:40

Just wash.

Speaker: 00:08:41

You could even just take like a hose and just imagine you are washing it away.

Speaker: 00:08:46

If you're playing with colors, you can just imagine erasing them.

Speaker: 00:08:51

Or you can put in another paper which replaces those pictures.

Speaker: 00:08:56

The pictures that you would like.

Speaker: 00:08:59

Just make it fun and playful, like don't think about it too much.

Speaker: 00:09:03

Maybe best be like a three year old kid.

Speaker: 00:09:06

Be a kid who just loves to play.

Speaker: 00:09:09

Experiment is curious.

Speaker: 00:09:11

You don't really have to think too much.

Speaker: 00:09:13

Just play.

Speaker: 00:09:16

You know, I'm thinking of the movie Harry Potter.

Speaker: 00:09:20

I don't remember which one it was, but there's this ridiculous spell in that one

Speaker: 00:09:25

. So you could do just something similar.

Speaker: 00:09:28

And this is a similar spell.

Speaker: 00:09:29

You're just imagining ridiculous.

Speaker: 00:09:32

The sillier, you make everything more easy it gets to release.

Speaker: 00:09:39

Like just have fun.

Speaker: 00:09:40

Your past might have been, very strong, very dramatic.

Speaker: 00:09:47

You don't need to look at it like that.

Speaker: 00:09:49

You can just put little pictures and even if it was very bad, maybe you

Speaker: 00:09:54

just circle the picture and make it a little bit bigger, and then you just

Speaker: 00:10:00

imagine that you are washing it away.

Speaker: 00:10:02

You don't need to go into the details.

Speaker: 00:10:04

You don't need to know or analyze how bad, how intense it was.

Speaker: 00:10:10

You don't need to do any of that.

Speaker: 00:10:12

Just wash.

Speaker: 00:10:14

Just work it all.

Speaker: 00:10:15

Just play.

Speaker: 00:10:17

Okay.

Speaker: 00:10:18

Let's share an example from my life.

Speaker: 00:10:23

You know, just to have an understanding of whether all of this can really work.

Speaker: 00:10:31

Now, from my personal life, it was last December, and even some of it in January.

Speaker: 00:10:40

I was just stuck on a picture.

Speaker: 00:10:44

All of our experiences actually be just vibrating out of some

Speaker: 00:10:48

picture at some point in time.

Speaker: 00:10:50

Now, pictures can be positive, pictures can be negative, so when you have a

Speaker: 00:10:55

positive picture, you might be feeling really high, really good, and then you

Speaker: 00:10:59

might have some negative pictures, but you're just really going to those deep

Speaker: 00:11:03

emotions and not feeling very great.

Speaker: 00:11:06

But you know what?

Speaker: 00:11:07

When you just clear the picture, your powerful spirit, your amazing self,

Speaker: 00:11:14

your abundance, your happiness, your joy, everything awaits for you there.

Speaker: 00:11:22

So, well, going back to my story for December or January, I was vibrating in

Speaker: 00:11:29

my pictures of abandonment and loneliness.

Speaker: 00:11:32

I'd just been doing some healing work and I brought up some really

Speaker: 00:11:39

deep stuff in my past lives.

Speaker: 00:11:42

I saw that I had been orphaned, so I was without my parents at a very young age.

Speaker: 00:11:48

There was another lifetime.

Speaker: 00:11:50

Then I had lost my family again.

Speaker: 00:11:52

The feeling of abandonment, the feeling of loneliness at that

Speaker: 00:11:57

time felt super, super real.

Speaker: 00:12:00

Like I don't remember any other new year when I've just cried.

Speaker: 00:12:05

I went out, I, you know, had my social gatherings and so on, but I came back

Speaker: 00:12:10

and I just cried, like just cried.

Speaker: 00:12:13

It was the most horrible period of just crying and cleansing it out like that.

Speaker: 00:12:23

The great thing, and having done this work for a long time, I know the great

Speaker: 00:12:30

thing is that when you do hit anything like that, your joy and your superpower

Speaker: 00:12:39

is just right after that picture.

Speaker: 00:12:42

Because once you've cleared that, then you are more powerful.

Speaker: 00:12:47

Then that picture is no longer holding that for you.

Speaker: 00:12:52

So as I dealt with those pictures, I had to really face where I was feeling

Speaker: 00:12:57

alone, where I was feeling abandoned.

Speaker: 00:13:00

And it was very good as well because I could really see how

Speaker: 00:13:06

I was sometimes not prioritizing myself, how I wasn't loving myself.

Speaker: 00:13:11

Well, that's a class for another day.

Speaker: 00:13:15

But I was really able to look at my relationship with

Speaker: 00:13:22

myself and start healing that.

Speaker: 00:13:26

And as I healed that, as I nourished myself, as I put myself first, as I

Speaker: 00:13:33

looked after myself and really became my own cheerleader, there were just so

Speaker: 00:13:40

many miracles that started happening.

Speaker: 00:13:43

So I had friends reconnecting with me.

Speaker: 00:13:47

Like, I had a friend reconnect in the city.

Speaker: 00:13:49

I didn't know even the same city where we are living.

Speaker: 00:13:52

And he and I go way back to like when I was in my late teens,

Speaker: 00:13:58

that's, that's since how long?

Speaker: 00:14:00

How long ago we knew each other and we'd lost touch and then suddenly we connected.

Speaker: 00:14:06

So I found him, I had friends who had to be relocated close by like.

Speaker: 00:14:11

You know, all the way from the States to here.

Speaker: 00:14:14

I have had miracles where people have just come into my life, like somebody

Speaker: 00:14:19

knows somebody, and then I've just met amazing people again, where I have really

Speaker: 00:14:25

good, truthful, honest relationships where I can just vibrate as myself.

Speaker: 00:14:31

And I've just had heaps of those relationships come.

Speaker: 00:14:36

With my family.

Speaker: 00:14:37

I think all of this year after that, like as bad as , probably the cusp of

Speaker: 00:14:42

that new Year was and how I was really rebirthing, just healing with all

Speaker: 00:14:48

of that and coming into a new self.

Speaker: 00:14:51

I literally did come into a new self.

Speaker: 00:14:54

I've had the best year, but like the best holidays.

Speaker: 00:14:58

Short holidays, long holidays, overseas, holidays in Perth, we live.

Speaker: 00:15:05

It's a beautiful place to live in.

Speaker: 00:15:08

I've had amazing holidays and I've got so many others planned as well, and I kid you

Speaker: 00:15:14

not, but again, if it was, you know, just maybe months ago, maybe even November last

Speaker: 00:15:21

year or October, if you'd asked me any of that, none of that would've been true.

Speaker: 00:15:27

It was because I did the work around healing my past or some of it,

Speaker: 00:15:36

that's why other miracles happened.

Speaker: 00:15:39

All your pain and everything that is there, it is not there to punish you.

Speaker: 00:15:46

Your soul doesn't bring in stuff to punish you.

Speaker: 00:15:49

It's not saying, Hey, I've given you into this life, or you've been born

Speaker: 00:15:53

and here is your life supposed to be full of sacrifice and compromise.

Speaker: 00:15:58

No, it's absolutely the contrary.

Speaker: 00:16:02

Your soul loves you so much.

Speaker: 00:16:05

It wants you to experience life on earth in the fullest potential.

Speaker: 00:16:12

It wants you to be fully vibrating as you connected to your awareness, connected

Speaker: 00:16:18

to total abundance, connected to pure bliss, connected to your superpower,

Speaker: 00:16:23

all the knowledge that you have.

Speaker: 00:16:25

It wants you to have all of that and experience that in this lifetime.

Speaker: 00:16:32

Like touch it, feel it, live it every day.

Speaker: 00:16:35

And that's why when it throws out all of these little things, you might

Speaker: 00:16:40

be triggered by a past trauma, but the idea is just to get over it,

Speaker: 00:16:45

just to clean it and then grow and then more growth will happen and

Speaker: 00:16:50

more other miracles will happen.

Speaker: 00:16:53

More magic will happen.

Speaker: 00:16:55

So if you want, I do have this amazing class coming up, art

Speaker: 00:16:59

therapy to heal your past.

Speaker: 00:17:03

Beautiful class because we sit down and play.

Speaker: 00:17:05

There's an example of an exercise that I did here, but obviously in the

Speaker: 00:17:10

class we go into a lot more detail.

Speaker: 00:17:13

You are more than welcome to join in if you cannot join in live.

Speaker: 00:17:17

There is a replay as well, and I will be there to answer if

Speaker: 00:17:20

you have any other questions, but it'll be so great to see you.

Speaker: 00:17:25

It will be great to be supported while you are healing your pain, it'll be

Speaker: 00:17:32

great for you to be able to take the next step and actually step into your power.

Speaker: 00:17:39

So wishing you the best and wishing that you can reset your life and press

Speaker: 00:17:45

that reset button and just step into power, step into your amazing self.

Speaker: 00:17:53

Wishing you the best.

Speaker: 00:17:54

See you next time.

Speaker: 00:17:56
