Welcome to Women’s Dream Enlightenment, where we decode dreams and dive into the profound depths of spiritual awakening to light up your personal journey. I’m Megan Mary, your host, an international bestselling metaphysical author and founder of Inner Realms Publishing. Today’s post is inspired by my enlightening conversation with Elysia Skye, a mindset and leadership consultant, speaker, and host of the Brilliance Method Podcast.
Understanding Enlightenment
Elysia Skye brings a unique understanding of enlightenment, generally seen as a return to home, a path intertwined with forgiveness. For Elysia, enlightenment means responding with love and kindness effortlessly and recognizing that what seems harmful often stems from others’ fears and disconnection from source energy. She emphasizes that our soul’s journey is filled with experiences in a realm of duality, meant to teach us love.
Elysia’s Transformative Journey
Elysia’s journey is a testimony to the power of intuition and self-trust. Her story is one of resilience and strength, having trusted her intuition when her life was on the line at the age of 24, facing a cancer diagnosis. This harrowing experience deepened her connection to intuition and sparked her path towards teaching others to do the same.
Growing up with significant challenges, including the loss of her mother and dealing with family dynamics, Elysia learned the critical importance of processing emotions and trusting her inner voice. Mindfulness, which she attributes to her mother’s teachings of Zen Buddhism, played a pivotal role in honing these skills.
Creating a Life by Design
Elysia believes in life by design, where our pre-life choices shape our learning paths. Her brilliance method, a culmination of her life lessons, extends a structured pathway to achieving alignment and abundance. Consisting of modules that cover listening to intuition, embracing love over fear, and discovering your zone of genius, her method empowers individuals to create a fulfilling life, grounded in authenticity.
Embracing Authenticity and Abundance
Authenticity is at the heart of both my and Elysia’s teachings. Aligning with your true self involves vulnerability and the courage to follow those dreams that lie quietly within. Synchronicities often guide us, creating a path towards abundance when we listen and act upon them.
Elysia’s path led her to embrace spiritual business without fear of judgment, offering her insights and services more openly. This shift not only brought her personal satisfaction but also deepened her professional success.
Practical Steps to Strengthen Your Intuition
To quiet the noise and strengthen your intuition, Elysia suggests creating time for yourself, starting with a simple morning meditation practice. She advocates for intuitive writing, asking yourself what your soul needs to hear today, thereby opening avenues for higher guidance to flow through you.
Conclusion
Our conversation highlighted the beautiful dance between intention and surrender in creating our realities. By embracing who we truly are and aligning with our authentic selves, we unlock a world of possibilities and abundance. This transformative journey is not just a path to personal fulfillment but a service to the world, sharing our unique light to inspire others.

Elysia Skye
[00:00:00] You’re listening to Women’s Dream Enlightenment. Dream decoding deep discussions and stories of spiritual awakening to inspire your personal enlightened journey. I’m your host, Megan Mary, international bestselling metaphysical author. And founder of Inner Realms Publishing. Let’s bring in the light.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Welcome. Today we have Elysia Skye. She is a speaker mindset and leadership consultant and host of the Brilliance Method Podcast. She has produced educational and motivational content for global brands and continues to lead mindfulness workshops for Fortune 500 companies and small businesses. Through her podcast speaking and Patreon community, [00:01:00] Alicia shares practical tools and profound insights that inspire people to trust themselves and create a wealth mindset rooted in presence, purpose, and authentic leadership.
Her work provides actionable ways to quiet the noise, strengthen intuition, and step fully into your zone of genius. Welcome, Alicia.
Elysia Skye: Hi, Megan, Mary. It’s so great to be here.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yes, yes. I am very excited to have you on today, and now you have the pleasure of my very first question, which is what I ask everyone at the beginning. What does enlightenment mean to you?
Elysia Skye: I feel like the guest who answered last week’s well when this airs, it’ll be a month later. who answered August 27th, her answer, so similar to mine,
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Okay.
Elysia Skye: and I was thinking about it from that [00:02:00] perspective. So if you, if you’re listening to this and you haven’t caught up yet, it is about returning home. And for me, that path is forgiveness that we remember who we are, where we came from, and return to love enlightenment is Responding with love in all ways. Enlightenment is responding with kindness without having to think about it or know it. When we think about the people who have achieved enlightenment, I believe they got this on lockdown, it doesn’t mean that they didn’t stand up for their beliefs or. What they were passionate about, but they knew that when someone caused harm, that it was their own fear of separation from source energy. But we’re not. We’re [00:03:00] just having this dream and I get to be in your dream and you get to be in my dream, and we get to practice forgiveness lessons until we go back home.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Mm-hmm.
Elysia Skye: what we’re doing. Our soul is having an experience. There’s no real right or wrong or good or bad. We’re just having an experience and oh, I’m so excited to talk to you about this. Actually, just based on your background, learned over the years and through many different experiences that has the highest capacity for love far as the human race, where other. Astral races maybe are better at technology or like the Pleadians are amazing at peace, right? But they study us because of our ability to love, where we don’t really have peace under control at all. And technology is already blown up some of our cities once or twice before. [00:04:00] If you’re here listening on this planet, you’re here to experience love.
And as Neil Donald Walsh writes, in conversations with God, I’m gonna paraphrase possibly poorly, but essentially he says, how can you truly know the experience of love unless you can experience the opposite of it? So that’s this realm we’re in of duality, but that’s not real.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: I would only expect that each person’s answer is in itself. It’s totally unique and that’s why it’s always asked. So, yes. And I likes the part about the separation from source and the fear and negative emotions that come from that trial and tribulation really.
And the forgiveness is mostly. A self-forgiveness in [00:05:00] order to be able to extend acceptance to others. When we have these wise ascended masters it’s the benevolence, it’s the achieving of that.
Almost zen state where you recognize humility. It becomes the loss of the ego, it becomes the recognition of you in others and forgiveness of your expectations that you’re placing on yourself in this illusionary world of that we live in, this 3D reality, that’s just a holographic game, really.
So
Elysia Skye: That’s right. You know, when you think about the song, row, row, your boat, right? Meerily, meerily, meerily. Life is but a Dream.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yes.
Elysia Skye: And here we are and we [00:06:00] forget and we make it so real, and then we make it so hard on ourselves.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Mm-hmm.
Elysia Skye: wrapped up in drama and we find our frequency lowering because we are looking down all the time. it can be so simple to shift it just by that quick remembrance, exactly what you just said and going Who? Who am I? How can I make a different choice right now love, to choose peace, to forgive myself for thinking any of this really mattered or meant something bigger than it actually is,
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Right.
Elysia Skye: learning curve to that.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: There is, and it’s for many a continual choice that has to be made where you stated that the state of enlightenment is not needing, that you don’t have to make a choice, you, you’re just always reacting in that way. You’re always receiving in that way. You’re always giving off that perfect energy and you’re not having to continually go, [00:07:00] wait a minute.
Why am I upset? Okay. And start to shift all the time. Having to shift the energy all the time because of the situations around you.
Elysia Skye: Yeah, and have a sense of humor about it. Some spiritual people take themselves way too seriously.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Hmm. Yeah, and that was actually the, the episode that’s coming up before yours is all, is actually a former comedian, so it’s going to be about not taking yourself seriously, which, you know, I’m guilty of, so, but
Elysia Skye: one thing to be passionate about your work, you know, it doesn’t mean that. You know, you have to laugh at everything or not have something mean something to you. But
Megan Mary – MeganMary: yeah.
Elysia Skye: don’t take things so seriously, it means, it’s that part of how real am I making this about my identity?
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Mm-hmm.
Elysia Skye: so attached to the outcome of all of this?
And that is one of the [00:08:00] main things that causes so much stress, anxiety, and depression, is we put our self value outside of our true self. Which is love, and that makes it so simple, and we just remember how can I be even more loving to myself right now? Maybe stop worrying about that thing and don’t take it so personally.
Or if I can’t let it go, maybe ask a question or have a conversation about it so I can feel some peace,
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yeah.
Elysia Skye: right? If you
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yeah.
Elysia Skye: the peace within yourself, then seek it out.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: And it’s also, for me anyway, the laundry list of things that you put on yourself to do and the unhappiness that arrives when you run out of time to do them. But that is all part of the matrix that our minds create, right? So, i’d like to have you tell a little bit about how you arrived at where you are, because everyone has a backstory [00:09:00] and many times the winding path of spiritual awakening can be different for everyone.
But this is really a place for women to share their stories. So that others don’t feel so alone in theirs. So tell us how you ended up where you are.
Elysia Skye: Doing all this Well, the longer versions of all of this are on my podcast on the brilliance method. So the highlight reel when I was 24 years old, my doctors told me everything was fine, but I knew I had cancer. I am very gifted in my intuition and I can see inside the body. I knew that I had cancer.
I’m not a hypochondriac. And I had just turned 24. This was 20 years ago, actually this month. And when it turned out, I basically slammed down my credit card and said, give me a mammogram and a biopsy. ’cause nobody’s taking me [00:10:00] seriously. told, if you don’t do something, you’re gonna be dead in a month. So it went from, don’t worry about it, nothing’s wrong to wow. You just saved your own life and that. that’s not gonna ground you into trusting your intuition as a young person. I don’t know what else is. And then I went on this journey of why did I get sick? Because everybody was saying, wow, you have stage three cancer.
You are so young. Do you have a family history? How did you get it? You know, anyone who’s been through any awful illness at a young age, if it’s not genetically traced. They get those questions and so I asked myself that and, and when I went inside, ’cause it’s always an inside job, I looked back at my life and I know, look, no one’s had an easy life. And I’ve had people say to me, wow, Alicia, you’ve really been through some stuff and you carry yourself really well. I’m like, yeah, but haven’t we all been through stuff? They’re like, no, you’ve really been through some stuff. I’m [00:11:00] like, okay. Some people have had it worse than me, some haven’t. Whatever. No one’s keeping score.
But the point is, I don’t think I handled things. Very well or at all when I went through things and how could I, I was a kid, right? So my mother was hit by a car and killed when I was 12 years old. She was my best friend, and I don’t think that I I processed it. I became the matriarch of my family at that age.
Took care of everybody and learn to live with a man who is my father. But, you know, didn’t really have a great relationship with him. And was kind of on my own, raised by wolves at that age, even though I have very loving Uncle Godmother grandparents, but I was independent. And that’s some quick growing up.
And on the, the other side of that, in my youth, my father was in a cult. And there’s a whole bunch of stories there. And. I just learned, wow, I have to trust myself and thank God I learned how to trust myself. ’cause again, when I turned 24 and then I was diagnosed a week later, [00:12:00] I trusted myself. And that’s one of the things that I help people with is how to trust yourself.
’cause there’s so much noise going on and mindfulness is at the root of it. And my mother, such a spiritual amazing woman. Even though our family is Jewish, she raised us to also practice Zen Buddhism, which is a mindfulness practice. So I learned to be really present to listen, and that’s one of the main ways you develop your intuition or you learn to hear it better, is you’re just You’re just now. that’s a hard thing to do in your twenties in LA trying to be a movie star. Thinking every guy’s opinion matters, every producer’s opinion matters. Putting everyone else before your own. And I’m so grateful that I learned those lessons, unfortunately, a very hard way. At that age. ’cause I know so many people who are now just starting to understand, wait, you mean everyone else’s opinion?
Especially my family and friends isn’t more important than my own and I can finally be visible and be heard [00:13:00] and my dreams matter. It’s like, yes, I just wanna scream it from the rooftops. Yes. So that’s how I got here. And, a handful of other things as we do lots of study, lots of curiosity lots of trying weird things as we do. And I’ve lived to tell the tale.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yes. Powerful, powerful story. Some people you think, oh, nobody’s had an easy life. And then you find out, well, some people may be less eventful, other people tragic. I mean, it, it runs the gamut. But I do, you know, hear a lot of theories that we choose before we come here to experience certain things, to learn certain things and to propel us to become certain things.
And, all things are gifts in a way. So
Elysia Skye: Yeah. Life by design, right?
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yeah. And so I understand losing a parent as well and how much that can shift your mind view [00:14:00] when you’re younger. I wasn’t quite as young as you, but I was still just coming out in the world and it really affects your independence, but also, for me, my belief in the afterlife really, it pretty much cemented that right away. So, and dreams were always in for me where I could go to visit. So it was really a healing space for me and became even more so the older I got, it seemed.
Elysia Skye: That’s so special.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yeah. And mindset, absolutely, like meditation. Working with dreams for me was the quieting, because when you have listen to your dreams, then you start to hear your intuition as well, and your dreams are really whispers of your intuition.
So, [00:15:00] yeah. That’s what led me to dreamwork. So I completely understand that. And the Zen Buddhist aspect too, I quite young, ended up working at a Buddhist university and was learned all about Buddhism and was able to meditate. During the day, during the workday, and so I had a quite an unusual beginning in terms of my career and got a lot of exposure to a lot of different metaphysical things that some people may never cross paths with until later, so.
Elysia Skye: Well, you’re here to be a healer, so your guides put you on that path, and
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yep.
Elysia Skye: and for everyone who feels drawn to the healing arts or anything esoteric or interesting, even if might seem weird to your family or your spouse, or your kids, or whoever, [00:16:00] follow that pull. Listen to that call.
There’s a dharma in there, you know, that’s just. Some of this stuff is written, you know, like we said, it’s destiny. We can’t escape it. My life coach, in 2005, when I met her, she was almost wheelchair bound, and she had said, she’s so, so, so psychic. And she had said for years she wasn’t going to open a coaching business.
She had a nail salon years and years ignoring it. But the psychic messages just coming in so strong. And then one day she fell down a escalator. Had an accident at the mall and then she was home bound and she couldn’t go to the salon. So she opened the coaching practice and she said, you know what? I think Spirit might have pushed me literally to be in service.
’cause I was ignoring it, ignoring it, ignoring it. And that’s
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Right.
Elysia Skye: to scare anybody. But her message to me that I’m now sharing with all of you is don’t wait for that big push. If you feel that nudge. Go [00:17:00] for it. Ask for help. Look at all these incredible people that have been on this show and working with Megan Mary, and so many opportunities for you to learn and expand.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yes. I appreciate that. And I wanna encourage the same. Yes. And I so many ways. There’s so many ways to strengthen your. But let’s talk about some of your methods. Tell us about the brilliance method and how you came upon that.
Elysia Skye: Well, it kind of just happened, like all beautiful things in life, not forced. It just materialized. had been asking me over and over after all the things I had been through and. I had some success as an actor in Hollywood, but I don’t have an Oscar on my shelf yet, and I wound up having a production company very successful.
And then on the side, this is gonna sound like the weirdest. Side hustle. I was officiating weddings, I was in ministry. So Monday through Friday I’m [00:18:00] working at these big networks, producing content, and then evenings and weekends, you know, got my nice top on and whoever you needed me to be, whether it’s, pastor Skye, rabbi Skye, I’m like, I’m here.
I’m just here on behalf of Spirit to bring two people together who are in love. And it was such a beautiful thing and in gratitude to my grandfather, my father and my sister, for bringing me into that, world, into that industry. So long story longer, I had always felt a call to do mindfulness work and I wound up doing some corporate mindfulness work for some wedding clients at their company, which is Gap Inc.
Banana Republic. Most people have heard of these brands. And then that led me into working with some other brands and. Then, you know, at some point met my husband, my love of my life, soulmate, at least in this lifetime, and. Gosh, people started saying, Alicia, how, like you have this gorgeous house and this amazing relationship and everything you touch seems to turn to gold and whatever [00:19:00] business you wanna do, just flourishes.
And can you coach us, can you explain this to us? Like what if I wanna. Do this or this. What if I have a big dream? I was like, how did I do? I dunno. How did I do it? So I literally took a step back, stared at my wall, grabbed a bunch of post-its, and just wrote down the major pivots in my life. And if you’ve ever studied any sort of course creation and you’ve written books, so this is not too dissimilar of a process. You can think of each part, each chapter, you know, with its heading. And then in course creation. That would be a module. And then
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Sure.
Elysia Skye: each chapter or module, there are lessons. So I looked at what’s the very first thing I did, which is the story I told you I listened to my intuition. So module one, listen to your intuition.
How do you do that, right? Number two, what did I do? embraced. Love over fear, the spirit over the ego, tons of stuff in there about forgiveness. Number [00:20:00] three, your zone of genius, your unique brilliance. Lots of work that Gay Hendricks talks about and has taught us about your zone of excellence and the golden handcuffs and all of that.
And it goes on and on. So I mapped out what, what essentially became eight different modules or chapters I went, yeah, this is how I did it and I can teach this. And then the second I said, Hey, I can teach this. The universe provided clients and people started showing up. Now, did a hundred of them flood in at once?
No, but it was a few here, a few there, maybe a dozen the first month, another dozen the second month, and again. Exactly what I teach happened manifested. I made so much money coaching and I was like, okay, this is fun. Now what do I wanna do next? So last year I started a podcast and I don’t know if podcasts make money, but I’m having fun doing it.
And I think that’s the most important thing is we do what we feel motivated and inspired to do and abundance shows up from that place. I’ve never done anything just for the money. I think that kills our soul [00:21:00] and. That’s how this all happened. When it comes to listening to your intuition, it’s really pulling all the pieces of a little bit of everything we’ve talked about today. Quieting the mind, trusting yourself, choosing to be still, and listen, asking yourself, what is it that I truly desire? out of your own way to receive some answers from your higher self, your guides, your angels, God, the universe, your masters, your ancestors, and just listen. Be so honest with yourself that it almost scares you that like, wow, this is my dream.
This is what I really wanna do. How am I gonna do it? I don’t know. The how is really none of your business just start. Right. And yeah, as far as like really tapping into your intuition, that’s a good place to start. Obviously meditation, meditate, meditate, meditate. If you are not great at meditating, I have some videos on that you can connect with me or on my show. [00:22:00] But keep a psychic journal. It’s kind of a fun thing to do. If you think about someone and they text you, write it down, start validating for yourself. You think about a song, you walk into Starbucks, it’s playing overhead. yeah, I was right. I was right. So I have a lesson in my course called I Was Right, and you just keep a psychic journal and then you just make it a game, right?
We’re here to have fun. Our soul is just here to have an experience. Let’s play, let’s have fun. If more people had fun, they would actually be more psychic.

Megan Mary – MeganMary: Hmm. Yeah, I, I call it the synchronicity list really. You know, I have a separate journal for [00:24:00] synchronicities and.
Elysia Skye: that.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yeah, of course. I, I tell everybody to keep a Dream Journal too, but that’s a totally separate journal. That’s why you gotta have a lot of journals. But,
Elysia Skye: Yeah. Yeah. Dream
Megan Mary – MeganMary: I.
Elysia Skye: are amazing.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: I agree completely with the steps of your method, and it’s a lot of what I talk about in my empowerment programs.
It’s the aligning with that authenticity because what you said about being vulnerable and being really honest with yourself and. Allowing the true inner you, whether that’s the inner child or the one that, well, I really wish I could do this, or I’ve always felt drawn to this, but I’m over here and I have this life and I do this.
And that’s, I need to put that away now because that’s just a pipe dream or a fairytale or that. That is where the true authenticity [00:25:00] lies, and that those little synchronicities are what gets us there. And when I started paying attention to my dreams and meditating and listening to that inner voice, I was told to start a podcast and I had no intention to do so.
I would never listen to them. I was like, no, I don’t even know the first thing about that. And I’m certainly not gonna record myself audio or video. But I had a lot of, a lot of ego. You know, deprogramming to do to get over that hump to realize that this is not about me at all. That this is my spiritual service that I must do.
And so I followed and I did that, and I also. Did all the other things and there was a lot of direction at that time, and thankfully, I’m glad it’s, it’s kind of slowed a little because I was working so fast [00:26:00] towards all those things. But when you do follow all of those signs, I’ve noticed. That you become more and more and more in alignment and that that alignment as, as your being your authentic self is what leads to that abundance.
And I know that your brilliance method probably ends in that as well because that’s really where. We, we start to understand how this energy system works here and how we are actually creating our own reality, and that why not have what it is that we want in instead of clinging to the beliefs that we can’t.
Elysia Skye: Yeah. Yeah. And you know, when I first did all of this, I had so many people with full-time jobs wanting to do their own thing, so I created this around entrepreneurship. And it’s evolved so much more than that. And I have just given myself so much [00:27:00] permission in the last couple of years. I mean, we’re still doing this work every day.
We’re still peeling layers away and tapping even more into that authenticity. And I love what you said about alignment and you know, alignment isn’t a line, it’s not A to B2C, it’s actually a circle. It’s like it’s, it’s a wholeness to who we are as we become and remember more of who we are, I have this tattoo that says, remember your soul. To remember love, and the point I was gonna make is now I’m just doing so much more spiritual business work and not worrying so much about what are my corporate clients gonna think or whatever. It’s like they know if they bring me in. It’s gonna be woo. It’s gonna be weird. It’s gonna be fun and it, it’s gonna be great.
And I’m, I’m even doing an event actually kicking off September 24th for a few days and there’s a lifetime replay, it’s called Divine Direction, where spirit meets strategy for energetic entrepreneurship. Just to have more of these conversations ’cause people get so hung up on, well, just tell me what to do, or just tell me what template to follow
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Hmm.
Elysia Skye: should my
Megan Mary – MeganMary: [00:28:00] Yeah.
Elysia Skye: be sent out?
I’m like. None of that matters. Like
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yeah.
Elysia Skye: And who are you? Who are you? And who do you wanna hang out with and how do you wanna help them? And what lights up your heart? And now let’s turn that light up so bright. Nobody can look away.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: I really like that. Yes. And I’ve also noticed that part of this journey is that when you do start shining that light. Not only does it attract a lot of the right people to you, but it also shakes it out to the people that don’t get it. And that was one of the hardest lessons for me as a highly sensitive person.
I thought, okay, if I overcome this and I step out and I do what you’re asking me to do, then you’re gonna reward me by everyone [00:29:00] accepting that right. That wasn’t the case,
Elysia Skye: No.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: that was probably the hardest part of it all was the, the conflict, the criticism, the the people that didn’t get it or maybe were just triggered right by the light.
Yeah.
Elysia Skye: oh, go. Go ahead. I have a saying. the lighthouse, not the lifesaver.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Mm-hmm.
Elysia Skye: the reason I add that lifesaver part is ’cause that was my downfall, trying to fix everybody, save everybody. I mean, I told you my kind of my origin story, so naturally I was like a caretaker. And where I came upon clients that were out of alignment, were just saying yes to be.
I I’m supposed to help every Yeah. If they need me and I can help them. Sure. But some people. hear it, don’t wanna hear it, don’t wanna do [00:30:00] the work, aren’t ready. It doesn’t mean you’re smarter or better than them. It just means we’re just at different frequencies and that’s
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yes.
Elysia Skye: works.
You can’t really hear each other. It doesn’t sound good together. And there is someone else who can take them so much further. That’s why it’s like, I don’t believe in competition. There is enough people out there for everybody to do everything. And, I’m focused mostly on speaking now and doing my live events and. There has been just so much that has come from letting go
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Hmm.
Elysia Skye: people who just aren’t a match. And it means that
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yeah.
Elysia Skye: a match for them either. And they were trying really, it’s like any relationship, right? It’s like if either side is trying hard to make this work and something’s not right, just let it go.
And know if it’s a superhero complex or what, but like I had the hardest time thinking, why can’t I help? Why can’t I be everything to everyone? And like.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Right. Yeah.
Elysia Skye: that’s not how it works. It’s, it’s like a thousand teachers out there. Let’s
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yeah.
Elysia Skye: do this one thing in this one [00:31:00] space, you know?
Megan Mary – MeganMary: But it’s comforting to recognize that when the student is ready, the teacher appears, and that in the podcast world, it’s real difficult because you don’t know who’s listening ever,
Elysia Skye: Yeah.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: But you have to trust. That what you are saying and what you are putting out there is going to reach the people who need to hear it.
And it’s the same with my books. If you feel called to write a book, it’s because the person that needs to read it is waiting for that book to come out to be born to be invented. And so it’s much like being a channel. It’s an energetic dance that you agree to do to deliver the, I don’t wanna say information because it’s almost like encoding.
We can sit here and chat, but what we’re really doing is sending out [00:32:00] an energetic code that’s being received by the people that are listening to it. And they might just hear us chatting about our lives, but they are energetically receiving. There’s this whole exchange going on that’s greater than us, and I think that’s the beauty of podcasting, of art, of literature, of anything that we feel drawn to create that someone else receives.
Elysia Skye: I absolutely agree, and people get so hung up with social media of seeing like how many people liked
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Mm-hmm.
Elysia Skye: we have, or how many followers do we have? And loved what you said about, you know, if you wanna write the book, it’s just for that. Maybe it’s just for that one person who needs to read it.
And when you think about it. If, let’s say somebody is listening to this, they’re like, oh, like they just gave us permission to start a podcast, and who am I to start a podcast? I don’t even know how to start a podcast, right? Like, how you start, how I started. I didn’t know what I was, we just did it, right?
Like I said, the how is not your business? Just
Megan Mary – MeganMary: That’s right.
Elysia Skye: the teacher will [00:33:00] appear, or the YouTube video will appear, or whatever it is, and if you have even 50 people listening once a month, right? It might seem, oh, I don’t know how that’s gonna get me the blah, blah, blah. How about just right now? Imagine you’re in your living room and there’s 50 people in there, and you have their undivided attention, and they are listening to everything that you’re saying, and they respect you and they trust you, and they care about you, and they’re gonna send more people to you. only is your room full, but your heart is full, and I like to think about that when I look at, oh. Maybe my ego flares up of like, oh, I posted this reel and like, four people commented. It’s like, oh my gosh. Four individual human beings with their own lives and families and passions and hearts and souls took the time to say thank you or hello. And as Megan Mary was just saying, sometimes we don’t know who’s listening. So listening right now and you feel inspired to comment that you’re [00:34:00] here and you’re listening or something that resonated with you today, please do, please let us know who you are and we’ll send you just that, that ping like dolphins communicating under the ocean.
Like that sonar of just love, love and gratitude your way. It feels so good. We get to receive and we get to give.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: A hundred percent yes. Just knowing that you’re out there makes all the difference, and I am going to hold on to that image of the 50 people in my room because you are absolutely right. It couldn’t be more true. And also what you said about the whole getting wrapped up in the social media and the reels and the followers and the likes, I am just as guilty of that because I’m trying so hard to reach the right people, and it’s a slog because you feel like it’s a never ending battle.
But on the other hand, look who you are reaching. We never appreciate that. So.
Elysia Skye: right. And your show brought me to you, and now we have this new friendship. I hope you’ll [00:35:00] come on my show. Yeah, there’s so much more to talk about.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: And of course for those of you who have read my books, it is not remiss that Elysia’s last name is Skye. And yes, with an e. And everyone knows about Skye Manor if you follow my books and yes, I mean there is, there’s a little bit of history to that with. My Scottish heritage as well.
So when I got your email, I was like, wait a minute. Full stop, no questions asked. Like, come on now.
Elysia Skye: Let’s
Megan Mary – MeganMary: So
Elysia Skye: those little signs and confirmations from the universe that we’re exactly in front of, who we’re meant to be in front of, and we never know
Megan Mary – MeganMary: yeah.
Elysia Skye: what,
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Yeah.
Elysia Skye: like what’s gonna happen.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: So what are some key things that you would like to share with our audience? Actionable ways to quiet their [00:36:00] noise, strengthen their intuition, step into their zone of genius.
Elysia Skye: Oh gosh, there’s so much there. I want to encourage you to create just a little bit of extra time for yourself. Because the number one thing I hear from most people who don’t have a meditation practice is that they don’t have time to do it, and I totally get it. What I started doing is the moment I wake up, literally the moment I wake up now, I say, God, thank you for returning my soul to my body, and I just sink into the gratitude. Of being here. And of course, if you have your dream journal, then start to journal. And I also go through a list of people I love that pop into my mind. Thank you, God, for returning their soul to their body. And sit up in bed. I don’t necessarily go to my office or a meditation space or anywhere [00:37:00] else, but I sit up in bed and I meditate. And that can be different for you depending on what kind of meditation you’re looking for. I listen to a guided frequency meditation, and it’s just for me to remember who I am, that I’m safe, that I’m loved, that I’m abundant, and that everyone I’ve ever loved in this life and other lifetimes has shown up for me in the biggest and most beautiful ways to support everything I’m creating. And I feel their love and I see them surrounding me. Sometimes I see different faces of people I haven’t seen in a while, maybe that I grew up with, or family members, people that I don’t even never even met, maybe from other lifetimes. But I just see this soul circle and then I listen. So once you do your own little morning meditation practice, and again, my, my tip in don’t even worry about leaving your bedroom, is to [00:38:00] simplify it for you.
If you can just get up. 10 minutes earlier, just 10 minutes earlier. Then do that. Sit up and do it. And if you’ve done your dream journaling, the next thing that I like to do, that I do feel helps to strengthen our intuition is I do intuitive writing. I’ll start on the top of a notepad and I’ll say, what does my soul need to hear today? And I just trust what comes through. And I have had people do this exercise that are not anywhere near as spiritual or dedicated as, as Mary, or myself might be. And the stuff that comes through when you just put spirit in charge and say, I’m just gonna write, right? And don’t force your hand to stop writing.
Just trust, even if it doesn’t make sense or you can’t read your own handwriting, or you don’t even know what it’s talking about. But when you give Spirit a channel to come through, especially with writing. You get out of your own head, which I think is so important of thinking, oh, well, maybe I’m like imagining a vision, or maybe I’m feeling something.
You know, there’s all [00:39:00] these, all the different Clairs, which we could talk about another time. But when you just allow it to come through, just give it space, it’s a receiving exercise. then in order to receive anything, you have to allow it to happen. You have to give it space. So we’re just creating that space.
Now, if you’ve got, you know, a couple kids to get off to school or you gotta rush to work or you overslept, okay, I get it. We all get a bathroom break. We all get a lunch break. We all get a snack break. Then take that five, 10 minutes then and do your channeled writing. Then I have noticed that when we truly prioritize ourself with a capital S and we develop meditation practice, we develop our relationship with source energy, and when I say develop, it just means spend time with quality.
Time is the love language of God. When we do that, when we sit. You can call it prayer, you can call it manifestation. you sit to meditate, you tell the universe that you’re worthy, [00:40:00] that you’re worthy of abundance and magic and love, and great health and joy. And it’s not about checking a box and putting time in.
It actually doesn’t take very much time. It’s just a little intention, A little heart in a few minutes, start there.
Megan Mary – MeganMary: Wonderful words of advice. Yes. And I have a morning meditation practice myself, and it’s really what led me here to be here for all of you. So I highly, highly suggest that. And thank you for that advice. Yeah.
