Questions for further guidance:
● Five Minute Daily Practice: Use the following questions/phrase structure to check in with your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. I like to use an oracle deck to connect with my quintessence for guidance.
○ “Today my ______ body feels ________. It needs _______ and __________.
○ Eg. “Today my physical body feels lively and rested. It needs more water and to balance activity with rest and reflection.
○ Quintessence: I use an oracle card to guide me to my ‘higher-self’ needs. Today’s card for me was “Release”. So I asked myself what I need to release so that I can grow.

Jen Lang:Hi, everybody, and welcome back to another episode
Jen Lang:of no halos here with Jen Lang and Jane Stark. Today, it's a
Jen Lang:solo episode with me, Jen, and what Jane and I talked actually
Jen Lang:before I hit record, so she is still recovering from her
Jen Lang:illness. And if you listened to last week, last week's episode,
Jen Lang:we talked about the energy of January and how it is very much
Jen Lang:sort of an inward slower moving energy and self care type of
Jen Lang:energy, there's not a lot of momentum, at least, you know,
Jen Lang:generally speaking, you might be feeling quite differently
Jen Lang:yourself. But it's been interesting for Jane because
Jen Lang:she's been processing this illness. And she's working on
Jen Lang:like day 15 or 16. Now, and it's been quite a journey for her
Jen Lang:into the surrender aspect of that energy, and also trusting
Jen Lang:what her body's signals are. And we had planned this early this
Jen Lang:morning, we had planned to record this episode. And then as
Jen Lang:the morning went on, and we had a couple of meetings, a couple
Jen Lang:of conversations, we decided that she needed rest. And what I
Jen Lang:wanted to talk about today, was trusting those signals from your
Jen Lang:body when you need rest. This has come out of a couple of
Jen Lang:different conversations this week, as well. And we debated
Jen Lang:what to cover today in terms of, you know, content and what's
Jen Lang:helpful for you, our audience, and what's meaningful, and based
Jen Lang:on last week's episode, in terms of trusting the energy of the
Jen Lang:month, and not jumping in and leaping into something new for
Jen Lang:2022. It's around sitting in assessing where that energy is,
Jen Lang:and what are the feelings that are coming up that are asking
Jen Lang:for reflection? And what are the sensations in your body coming
Jen Lang:up that are asking for attention. So they could be
Jen Lang:something as simple as you get a good solid eight hours of sleep,
Jen Lang:and you wake up and you still you're tired. Or it could be
Jen Lang:something more complex where you know, you have achy joints, and
Jen Lang:then you have back pain, and you have some other like jaw pain.
Jen Lang:And this is your body literally talking to you and giving you
Jen Lang:signals of something that needs your attention. Another aspect
Jen Lang:of this that I want to address today is our physical body gives
Jen Lang:us signs and symbols and signals of what needs attention. But
Jen Lang:what often isn't clear is what that attention actually is, is
Jen Lang:it? Is it that your physical body needs attention? Or is
Jen Lang:there something going on in one of your other energy bodies, so
Jen Lang:whether it's your mental, emotional, spiritual energetic
Jen Lang:body, that is asking for attention, and quite often it's
Jen Lang:layered. So if you only address something in the physical realm
Jen Lang:than you and you haven't addressed it in the mental,
Jen Lang:emotional and spiritual fields, then that chances are that
Jen Lang:physical pain will come back in a different form or that
Jen Lang:physical discomfort or symptom will come back in a different
Jen Lang:form. The this is true for all of your energy layers and or all
Jen Lang:of the levels of your different bodies. So if you have an
Jen Lang:emotion come up that hasn't been processed, or that hasn't been
Jen Lang:dealt with or you've stuffed down inside, then chances are
Jen Lang:it's gonna show up in a different energy body like oh,
Jen Lang:maybe your physical as a stuck emotion our as a persistent pain
Jen Lang:or as a persistent physical symptom. It could be a digestive
Jen Lang:system, it could be a reproductive, it could be
Jen Lang:endocrine, hormonal, it could be breast pain. It's like a really
Jen Lang:discomfort it doesn't and it might not be big, either. It
Jen Lang:could just be like, oh, you know, I've always had this left
Jen Lang:ankle thing. Or maybe you fell on your left ankle, and the
Jen Lang:physical part is healed but the emotional wounding and mental
Jen Lang:and spiritual wounding of that experience has not yet been
Jen Lang:dealt with or transformed. So there I would ask you with this
Jen Lang:episode today, where are you holding on to things that you
Jen Lang:are ready to Let go of both physically, mentally,
Jen Lang:emotionally, spiritually in any other way. And then if you have
Jen Lang:let go or transformed something on the physical level, have you
Jen Lang:let go with it or transformed it on all of those other bodily,
Jen Lang:bodily three, all of those other energetic levels, whether it's
Jen Lang:physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual?
Jen Lang:And how do you do that? How, because you know, you can talk
Jen Lang:to a therapist and talk through some things. But if you are have
Jen Lang:been going to therapy for a while, and you've been well
Jen Lang:supported, if you've gone through a process, you know,
Jen Lang:might be very significant years of therapy, to process
Jen Lang:experiences. But if you haven't cleared them from the rest of
Jen Lang:your bodies, then all the talking in the world is not
Jen Lang:going to get you to where you need to be to stop or complete
Jen Lang:wrap up the therapy cycle. And if you maybe have been going to
Jen Lang:a chiropractor or physiotherapist for a persistent
Jen Lang:long term injury, but if you haven't dealt with it on a
Jen Lang:different energy body level, then you're going to continue to
Jen Lang:see that physiotherapist and that chiropractor or the
Jen Lang:alternate health practitioner for that thing, until you have
Jen Lang:resolved it in that other energy level, or the other bodily field
Jen Lang:or level. So do you see a repeating pattern or a theme
Jen Lang:here? Some of it, some of it is inherited from our social
Jen Lang:structures from the way we are raised. And in the conversation
Jen Lang:with Jane before I hit record, there, we had this moment of
Jen Lang:looking at, you know, aspects and practices of stoicism, that
Jen Lang:British colonists an attitude of stiff upper lip, don't let your
Jen Lang:emotions show stuff them down inside. It's especially that it
Jen Lang:can go as far as toxic masculinity where men aren't
Jen Lang:given a safe men and boys aren't given necessarily or haven't
Jen Lang:been given, some of them are, haven't been given a safe avenue
Jen Lang:to express emotion. And therefore it results in physical
Jen Lang:complications later on in life, or it might result in awkward
Jen Lang:partnerships or relationships later on in life. So all of this
Jen Lang:to say that what we have inherited from our both our
Jen Lang:ancestry and what is portrayed for us and our current social
Jen Lang:constructs, both in film, media, television, and to a certain
Jen Lang:extent in conversations, expectations of family doesn't
Jen Lang:always lead to a place of healing. In fact, I would say
Jen Lang:that it hampers or stifles the transformation that you might
Jen Lang:actually be seeking. And it operates on such an unconscious
Jen Lang:level that you might not even realize, realize it where it
Jen Lang:plays out on the mental level is in the words and the dialogue
Jen Lang:that you might have with yourself. And so I'd look at the
Jen Lang:difference between I am tired, versus I feel tired. So if you
Jen Lang:say you are tired, then you are perpetuating the pattern of
Jen Lang:fatigue. And you're taking on the fact that you are tired, and
Jen Lang:you are reinforcing that message in your mental brain. And then
Jen Lang:it's filtering through the rest of your body's energy bodies
Jen Lang:physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. If you say I feel
Jen Lang:tired, you may be white want to identify that even more fully
Jen Lang:saying My body feels tired today. However I feel mentally
Jen Lang:and emotionally alert and aware. This is why it's really helpful
Jen Lang:to have morning practices, or maybe midday check ins around
Jen Lang:all of these different areas of your life. So they have been a
Jen Lang:part of my spiritual practice my morning spiritual practice, I'd
Jen Lang:say for the past four years, where I check in with my
Jen Lang:physical and mental, emotional, spiritual bodies. And then I
Jen Lang:check in with the fifth like the quintessence I usually pull a
Jen Lang:card for that guidance, to check in with the higher self, the
Jen Lang:whole soul self. And when we start to break down that
Jen Lang:practice into the physical, mental, emotional spiritual, we
Jen Lang:are given the opportunity to really sit in presence with that
Jen Lang:aspect of self. So then when we sit with that aspect of self, we
Jen Lang:can start to get to know that aspect of self a little bit
Jen Lang:differently. And so what is my mental body saying today? Well,
Jen Lang:my mental, my mental self is quite alert. And I my ideas are
Jen Lang:on fire and I'm making lots of synaptic connections and I feel
Jen Lang:really excited about pulling together these seemingly
Jen Lang:unrelated threads into a coherent conversation to then be
Jen Lang:broadcast on this podcast. At the same time, my physical body
Jen Lang:feels a little bit tired today. However, I did have a great
Jen Lang:night's sleep. So my physical body doesn't feel like it's
Jen Lang:sore. Or like I can't do something. However, I have had
Jen Lang:other days where I felt more energized. So do you see when we
Jen Lang:get into this distinction? Oh, and actually I can reference
Jen Lang:this morning, I woke up and felt emotionally I felt inexplicably
Jen Lang:sad. And I didn't know what that sadness was about. I know, I
Jen Lang:just felt emotionally off. So when I checked in with my
Jen Lang:emotional self, I was like, Why am I feeling this sadness? So
Jen Lang:that led to a deeper reflection point around a choice I had made
Jen Lang:yesterday as decision I made a split second, to do a rehearsal
Jen Lang:to meet tomorrow. And I didn't feel I woke up this morning
Jen Lang:going, Why did I do that? Why don't I put that pressure on
Jen Lang:myself. And to that the emotional feeling of sadness
Jen Lang:was, that's what old Jen would have done. Old Jen would have
Jen Lang:tried to fit it in, tried to smash in crushing some rehearsal
Jen Lang:time to practice so that we'll be ready for tomorrow's meeting
Jen Lang:tomorrow's rehearsal in a more fulfilled way. However, when I'm
Jen Lang:practicing that, then I'm practicing those feelings into
Jen Lang:the music and into that experience, so that when I
Jen Lang:perform it, I'm performing with that underlying pressure, rather
Jen Lang:than coming at the music from a place of spaciousness and joy,
Jen Lang:and expansiveness. So do you see how checking in with each of
Jen Lang:these bodies can lead us to better decision making on a day
Jen Lang:to day basis. So based on that realization, I had this morning,
Jen Lang:this sadness, I was feeling identified, it identified why I
Jen Lang:took action. And I said, Actually, I can't meet tomorrow
Jen Lang:is there another date and time and we agreed on a different
Jen Lang:date and time, that gives me lots of spaciousness and time to
Jen Lang:approach the music from a place of meaningfulness. So this
Jen Lang:spaciousness place is really where we want to approach so
Jen Lang:much of our lives from. And when we are constantly busy, or
Jen Lang:ignoring or numbing or scrolling, or doing all the
Jen Lang:things, all the activities that keep us from actually looking at
Jen Lang:all of those different aspects of self, then we do ourselves a
Jen Lang:disservice. And we actually, we, when we, and when we shift that
Jen Lang:behavior, to looking into aspects of self, more completely
Jen Lang:than sometimes it's surface, sometimes it's like, my body
Jen Lang:feels great today. And thanks very much, I'm going to do some
Jen Lang:yoga, and I'm gonna go for a run and you know, whatever. But
Jen Lang:sometimes being granular in looking at each of those aspects
Jen Lang:of self, the physical, the mental, the emotional, the
Jen Lang:spiritual, and the overall spiritual, that Quintessence
Jen Lang:self, then we are able to be more in tune, then we can make
Jen Lang:better decisions on a day to day basis that actually serve the
Jen Lang:development on the spaciousness and the expansiveness of self.
Jen Lang:So, yes, meditation is great. And yes, physical exercise is
Jen Lang:wonderful. And I would argue that this time, and literally,
Jen Lang:this takes me five minutes, it doesn't even take that long, on
Jen Lang:a daily basis, setting aside that five minutes to check in
Jen Lang:with the self and go, Oh, I can make this decision today based
Jen Lang:on that. And I can make this decision today based on that. In
Jen Lang:valuable, you'll live your life from a more aligned place,
Jen Lang:you'll find it easier to move through your day, because you've
Jen Lang:made decisions in alignment with where you're at.
Jen Lang:Now, if you're stuck in a pattern, I want to address this
Jen Lang:briefly. If you're stuck in a pattern of say, fatigue, and
Jen Lang:tiredness, and say you're tired all the time, and you wake up
Jen Lang:feeling tired. Well, if you're telling yourself that every day,
Jen Lang:then you're going to perpetuate that pattern and that rhythm
Jen Lang:every day. So maybe you decide tomorrow to wake up and say
Jen Lang:something different to yourself and say, Okay, I acknowledge
Jen Lang:that I have been feeling tired. However, I'm doing all the
Jen Lang:things I knew I need to do to be rested. I am taking care of
Jen Lang:myself. And today I feel a bit more energy than I have in the
Jen Lang:past and start to shift the dialogue around I'm always
Jen Lang:tired. I'm always tired. I'm always tired, too. I'm getting
Jen Lang:better. I feel more energy. And it doesn't have to be you go
Jen Lang:from the bottom of the ladder to the top of the ladder and one
Jen Lang:day, it might be one step at a time. So then the next day you
Jen Lang:wake up and say Hmm, wow, you know, I had a really busy day
Jen Lang:yesterday, but today I feel rested and ready for the day.
Jen Lang:And the next day might be oh, you know I had An awesome day
Jen Lang:yesterday and building on the energy of the last couple of
Jen Lang:days, I'm feeling ready to approach my day with joy, and
Jen Lang:with more gratitude than I have in the past. And yeah, my, my
Jen Lang:feet might feel a little bit tired. But that's just my eyes,
Jen Lang:the rest of me feels great. So you see when we start to refine
Jen Lang:and pull in and observe more accurately or more, with more
Jen Lang:detail, the aspects of self, how that can lead to better decision
Jen Lang:making, and then it changes the pattern that you might be stuck
Jen Lang:in. Okay, I'm gonna leave it here. However, if you want to
Jen Lang:dive into this more for yourself, Jane and I have an
Jen Lang:awesome tool called the empowerment playbook. I'll put
Jen Lang:the link in the show notes. But it is available I believe the
Jen Lang:link is we are Jen and jane.com. Forward slash empowerment
Jen Lang:playbook, or actually, I think just Ford slash playbook. I'll
Jen Lang:double check the show notes for that. The other thing I wanted
Jen Lang:to share with you is this is going out on Tuesday, the 18th.
Jen Lang:If you want to talk about this a little bit more, and actually
Jen Lang:meet us face to face. We have a community call on Wednesday, the
Jen Lang:19th at noon, Pacific Time, that is 3pm, Eastern and 8pm in the
Jen Lang:UK. And if you want to talk about some aspects of these
Jen Lang:things, then you're invited to the call. And all you need to do
Jen Lang:is actually just download the empowerment playbook. And you'll
Jen Lang:get the reminder emails and the link to join the call. So we
Jen Lang:hope to see you there. And yeah, we're also working on some
Jen Lang:really cool projects. I'm going to drop a few nuggets here more
Jen Lang:details will be forthcoming. We are opening a small group
Jen Lang:program over a six week period, we start the second week of
Jen Lang:February and it's called fierce serenity. So how can you
Jen Lang:approach these aspects of self with both fierce fierceness, a
Jen Lang:fierceness of energy, but also the serenity of surrender. So
Jen Lang:finding that balance point, if you are curious and want to know
Jen Lang:more, definitely keep listening to the podcast and follow us on
Jen Lang:our social channels. Because we will be sharing more about pure
Jen Lang:serenity there is a beta program, it's going to be a very
Jen Lang:approachable price point. So if you have any concerns about
Jen Lang:that, let me know. I'll also be talking about it on the
Jen Lang:community call on the 19th. So definitely join us tomorrow for
Jen Lang:the community call with we are Jen and Jane. And on that note,
Jen Lang:have an amazing rest of your week. Listen and tune in to all
Jen Lang:your different energy bodies aspects of self. And we'd love
