Warm welcome and blessings. This is the Wisdom of the Ages podcast show where we invite the sacred into modern day reality. And this is host Ayn Cates Sullivan. Now, if you want to live an empowered life, you’ll be excited about this episode. You might even begin to feel a warm glow inside your heart, but first I’d like to begin with an empowering wisdom blessing from my Legends of the Grail series. This one is called Anya’s Goodness Blessing. And it goes like this.
May you recall your innate goodness and the light that shines within you. Each time a ray of sunlight touches you, remember to share your magnificence with those who can celebrate you. Even as the sun dips behind the mountains, disappearing from our external view, notice the fire still lit in your heart. The blessing of wisdom is eternal.
And so, with that, I would like to introduce Susan Burrell. Beautiful name that I found out just a minute ago is Scottish. So, Susan is a feisty Scorpio, born with red hair to back it up, who has navigated life by learning how to listen within to the divine urge. That’s really what this show’s going to be about. How we listen, how we learn to turn within and listen to this divine urge. With a Master’s in consciousness, Susan has been counseling and supporting people in transforming from the inside out for over 20 years. Susan is the author of Live Your Empowered Life! A 30-Day Journey. She also offers guided meditations on Insight Timer. She has a thought-provoking podcast called Empowering Chats with Susan Burrell, and I’ve been on her show talking about my Legends of the Grail series, so if you love this episode, there is more on eWomen Podcast Network. So, welcome Susan.
So welcome, welcome. I feel so welcomed. That blessing you did Ayn, just ha ha ha. Just my entire energy system just lightened up and tuned in. Thank you for that.
Oh well, it’s so important. I love this work you’re doing. I think it’s so important every morning to get up and with all the insanity that’s going on in the world, to get up to link into our higher source of wisdom and to start operating from that place of true nature. And so, to me that’s an active empowerment. That’s something we can give ourselves every day.
Absolutely.
I just wonder, what do you feel about that? Yeah. What’s empowerment to you?
Oh, well absolutely the tuning in and checking in is a vital piece of just living life, right? Before you even leave your home, right, to go to work or wherever you’re going, it’s very important and it’s an easy thing to forget to do. I know in my life when I forget to do that, just taking even five minutes to ground myself and listen to what it is that the divine is speaking to me that day, that morning, my entire day goes haywire because I haven’t checked in.
It’s so true I feel, and we realize it straight away, because all of a sudden we’re really ego identified, the personality gets distorted, we’re suddenly arguing with people, or we feel depressed, or we feel angrier, and we go, “Oh, hang on a second. I really need to stop. I need to take three deep breaths. I need to put my feet on the earth, and I need to realign with my higher consciousness right now.”
And a lot of people, what you just mentioned, like being angry, or sad, or depressed, or those are all big red flags that we, most people don’t recognize. They just think, “Oh, well I’m depressed. I’ll take a pill.”
And I always remind my kids too, that if those emotions are coming up, you don’t want to suppress them, because there’s wisdom in them, but we might not want to act on them. We probably want to pull out a journal or sit with a friend and talk about what’s arising so that we can understand. I always say to them, “Look, if you’re feeling angry, there’s strength that’s needed for something. Or if you’re feeling hatred, that’s because you’re missing your power right now and you’ve got to realign with it.” And so, I think these things are really important that we don’t just separate ourselves off from negativity, but realize that everything, everything is part of our true nature.
I would absolutely agree with you, because it’s all contained in the one energy, right? That just that one energy source that is fueling, running, giving itself through everything, not just human beings or but through animals and plants and rocks, and it’s a sentient consciousness that’s very hard to put words to, but when you are in that flow of it or aligned with it, then you become a conduit for good as opposed to a conduit for just mucky, yucky crap.
