Hello everyone and welcome to the choose a happy day show My name

0:05

is lorraine toth and I am your host and creator of this show.

0:10

Today is a solo episode which will air right after my premiere.

0:15

Which was an interview with my guru, my Ketut and that was Deborah Hanlon.

0:21

Deborah is huge and a key player in my journey, actually,

0:28

of all of this energy work.

0:34

Lorraine Toth: Howdy and welcome to the choose a happy day show, a

0:38

podcast for women who want to up level their life, manifest those

0:42

dreams and just live happier.

0:45

If you have vision boards, love energy work, are into psychics and feel you

0:51

are meant for something more in this life, then this show is for you.

0:55

Hi, I'm Lorraine Toth, an award winning filmmaker, author, Reiki

1:00

master, photographer, and creative genius who also loves to vision board.

1:06

And I am here to bring you all of the tips and tricks to help you up level your life.

1:11

Now let's go and hop on that happy train.

1:21

Flashback to ten years ago, I was newly divorced, and out of a toxic marriage

1:30

and just had really low self esteem and wasn't sure what my path would

1:36

be, wasn't sure what my purpose was in life, and I just felt really dark

1:43

and empty and I basically just was filled with black, negative energy and

1:49

vibes and I just felt like a shell, basically walking around like a shell.

1:55

So in walks Deborah into my life.

1:59

I hear an ad on the radio for meditation and it was a group meditation in

2:06

Latham that Deborah was doing. So I just randomly went to this meditation class, seminar,

2:14

whatever you want to call it. And it was basically myself and I think about 30 to 40 other people

2:20

in one giant conference room. And we all meditated.

2:25

This was my first time ever doing meditation.

2:29

But I felt like it really helped me quiet my mind when I was

2:33

going through such a hard time.

2:36

It definitely helps, to be able to go in words and see what was going on in my

2:42

mind which wasn't really good at the time.

2:45

But anyway, that was my first introduction to Deborah.

2:48

And then I just started to follow her and later on, maybe I think it was

2:53

about four months later, I noticed she was doing Reiki training and workshops.

3:00

So I decided to sign up for the Reiki training.

3:03

I did the first one and it was incredible.

3:07

It was truly a class where you really go and look at yourself,

3:14

with a fine tooth comb, basically.

3:17

You have to go in and look at what your patterns are, look at what

3:21

your red tapes are, look at what you're attracting into your life.

3:26

Yes, the class was a lot of energy work and the class was to, hopefully

3:31

make most of the students in the class licensed to practice Reiki, but

3:37

I was doing it more for awareness of what energy brings into your world.

3:44

So I learned so much about myself and about my patterns and about

3:50

how I was letting, childhood trauma lead me into this world, where I

3:56

was attracting people who really weren't serving my highest good.

3:59

We'll just leave it at that. When you look at, the kind people that, especially as women, who we are

4:05

dating, when you look at what you're attracted to, look at what type of,

4:11

man or woman that you're attracting as your mate, and then see a pattern.

4:17

There's definitely, you need to do some work.

4:19

So Deborah's Reiki 1 class was extremely helpful for me to do that.

4:25

So I really dove in and I, knew I wanted to get to the next level to

4:31

where I could actually practice Reiki.

4:33

So I signed up for her second class and got certified, Reiki level

4:38

two, which is where you actually practice Reiki on someone else.

4:43

So I did that and that was just incredible.

4:47

I remember there was a woman who was lying on the table and she

4:51

couldn't hear out of one ear. And then after the treatment.

4:55

She said she could hear out of both ears. Deborah explained it, it was just basically trapped energy

5:01

in the body and somehow I was conduit and able to release that.

5:06

So that got me even more hooked about the importance of energy.

5:10

I remember being in her classes and just crying and shaking with anxiety.

5:16

And she even sent me a picture a few months ago.

5:20

And I was just sitting there and my body language was really forward and you know,

5:27

caved in, and I just, I looked unhappy.

5:30

I look sad. I looked like I was lacking confidence.

5:34

And then. I look at pictures of myself now and I'm like, wow.

5:38

I really have changed. So I think, her classes and her teachings really helped me to look at myself and

5:49

see what I was bringing into my world.

5:52

My number one book that I tell anyone who's going through a hard time in life

5:56

and who wants to harness the Law of Attraction and Learn How to Manifest.

6:02

I recommend this one book and it is so good.

6:05

I do always give the disclaimer though that you're going to start reading it

6:11

and you're going to be like, wow, this is so weird, but keep going because

6:14

it gets better and it has some very good tactical things that you can use.

6:19

And I will tell you exactly how I use those.

6:22

But without further ado, This is the book.

6:25

So it's called Ask and it is Given and it's by Esther and Jerry Hicks.

6:31

This book is phenomenal.

6:34

I've made many notes it's wet from reading it in the tub

6:38

and it's been, it's traveled. I've loaned it to my mom, to friends but it's incredible.

6:45

So I definitely recommend starting with that as your book number one if you're

6:50

looking to get into manifesting and, using the law of attraction in your favor.

6:56

The second book that I always recommend to people to read to understand

7:01

energy and all of that is E squared.

7:04

And E squared is by Pam Grout.

7:07

My biggest takeaway from this was using energy as a visual wish list.

7:15

So one of the things that I did with her book is to say, wouldn't it be nice

7:20

if, so wouldn't it be nice if you get that parking spot, wouldn't it be nice

7:26

if you got that promotion, wouldn't it be nice if I got reservations to

7:30

dinner at this restaurant where you're not supposed to, you know, whatever

7:35

it is, wouldn't it be nice if you got a surprise bonus and then you can

7:38

buy that, purse that you want to buy. Who knows?

7:40

For me, I actually used this this morning, this trick and it totally worked.

7:47

So I went away for four days to Cape Cod and it was an amazing

7:53

vacation right on the beach. And.

7:56

I unfortunately dropped my bag and things fell out.

8:02

I thought I got all the things, but I didn't. So I get home last night and I go to take my evening walk, which I

8:09

do, and I can't find my earbuds.

8:12

They're nowhere. They're gone. And that's how I listen to my walking meditations and activations.

8:19

So I'm freaking out because I cannot find these earbuds and

8:24

they were also a sentimental gift.

8:26

My daughter got them for me as a gift and they were in this adorable

8:31

pink little case and I really was sad that I would never see these again.

8:37

So I went, of course, to Amazon and ordered new earbuds because

8:42

I was like, this is horrible. I cannot, exist without these earbuds.

8:46

I use them every single day to do my walking meditations.

8:49

I use them when I go to the gym, use them when I take phone calls.

8:53

They were like a necessity in my life.

8:56

So I put them in my shopping cart, but in the back of my mind, and actually I

9:02

think I said it aloud, I said, wouldn't it be nice if the place where I was

9:07

staying, it was a timeshare, finds my earbuds and I get them back and

9:13

then I don't have to buy new ones. I get my earbuds back that my daughter gave me and I am so excited.

9:21

So wouldn't you know, I, fill out this form.

9:24

It's, Ilostmystuff.com, which I think is an amazing invention.

9:29

Because clearly they marked up, however, they're sending it back.

9:32

And it's great, a great service.

9:34

I'm sure for hotels and motels and all of this, you know, where people

9:38

are constantly losing their things. So anyway, I fill out, this form on, I lost my stuff.

9:46

com. And. Maybe five, ten minutes go by and I get a text message and an email.

9:54

Saying, hey, we found your AirPods and we can mail them back to you.

10:00

So I was like hello let's do this.

10:03

So I fill out the form. I fill out the shipping, pay for the shipping.

10:06

I think it was like 20 bucks to send them back.

10:09

But I'm just so excited that I have these and I no longer need to buy new ones.

10:13

So I cancel and delete the things out of my shopping cart on Amazon because

10:18

I used my wouldn't it be nice if. to get my airpods back and I got them.

10:23

That's my biggest takeaway for eSquared and my little story

10:29

about losing my pink airpod case.

10:32

So anyway, back on track, this one, Asking It Is Given, this book, my

10:39

biggest takeaway from this book is to actually do the creation box.

10:44

You get the box, you write on the inside of the box, it says, anything

10:48

that is contained in this box truly is.

10:51

And I wrote that on the inside of my box and I wrote this 10 and a half years ago.

10:56

So before I got my current home that I bought, that I live in now, I put

11:02

in pictures of a finished basement.

11:05

I put in pictures of. What else did I do?

11:08

I put in a picture of a shed in the backyard because I

11:12

knew I wanted a she shed. I think I even put in, it was just the pretty pictures of a home,

11:18

like a gray home, a Cape Cod style.

11:21

And there were other things I can't really remember right now,

11:24

but I put in all these pictures. I just cut them out of magazines or ads or whatever.

11:29

And then I put them into my creation box.

11:32

Wouldn't you know, I find a home with a finished basement with a shed

11:38

that I later turned into a she shed.

11:41

And it's also a Cape Cod, a gray Cape Cod style home.

11:45

And I found this home and I absolutely loved the home and it

11:50

was meant to be for me, and I really feel as though I manifested this

11:55

home because of this creation box.

11:59

So definitely try the creation box tip in this book asking it is given and the e

12:07

squared book try the "wouldn't it be nice" tip And I think once you start with those

12:12

two things, you're going to start to see these coincidences pop up in your life.

12:18

And then you get used to having more control than you give yourself

12:24

credit for how things turn out. So that's my biggest tip.

12:28

I hope that this helped you on my solo episode.

12:33

You can write in on comments on find me on Instagram at choose a

12:38

12:43

other topics you'd like to cover and I'd be more than happy to dive in

12:48

deeper if you need more information.

12:50

Of course, I'm going to have more guests talk about the Law of

12:53

Attraction, Manifestation, Energy, and all of that kind of witchy stuff.

12:58

And I cannot wait to share everything with you guys.

13:02

Oh, one last thing. thing. I realized as I was getting ready to record episode number one of my solo

13:10

episodes that I asked myself, what are three words to describe myself?

13:16

And my three words were wigs pink, and cheetah.

13:21

So my rug below me is cheetah.

13:25

I have pink on and I have a wig on. So those are what I'm going to rock going forward with a lot of these episodes.

13:32

For those of you watching this on YouTube, I will have different

13:35

hair but the same old Lorraine.

13:38

So I look forward to showing you what kind of hair I'm going to

13:43

have next and have happy day.
