0:13

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

0:18

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

0:24

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

0:28

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

0:34

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

0:40

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

0:43

Music.

0:49

All right. So welcome to the Choose a Happy Day show.

0:53

Today I have a The special guest is Nick Carbuto. Yes?

0:58

Beautiful. Perfect. Perfect. Carbuto is fine. Carbuto. It's the American version of Italian name.

1:05

Yes. So Nick, I met Nick, what, two years ago now?

1:10

Oh, yeah. A while ago. Yeah. I came to you for photos.

1:14

Yes. Yes. And then we nailed the photos.

1:17

And then I don't know why I came back. I needed psychic guidance, I guess.

1:22

Is that how we got there? We manifest each other. You manifest each other. Of course.

1:27

So Nick is also an intuitive medium. Most people call you a psychic,

1:32

right? Yeah. Intuitive. Intuitive. Yeah.

1:36

That's really more applicable for me. Okay. So I've had two readings from Nick, intuitive readings.

1:43

And the last one is actually why I'm here. So I feel like you're responsible for this whole thing.

1:49

Well, you know, I was just reading your soul. So your soul said to me,

1:53

oh, she needs to do this. So, okay, that's wonderful. Yes, it did.

1:57

So you told me on April 10th that I have the platform and I needed to do this.

2:02

So you gave me a psychic greeting and here I am with a podcast.

2:06

Yeah. Does that happen for a lot of people? No, this is wonderful. Congratulations.

2:11

Thank you. You listened to your soul. I did. You followed through. I did, yeah.

2:15

So today I wanted you to help others. Sure. I have a list of questions for you.

2:20

Okay. And I'm ready to talk about manifesting because clearly you helped me

2:26

manifest the show to help others.

2:30

So my first question for you was the mechanics of manifesting.

2:34

Like, what are four tricks or tools that our listeners can do to manifest?

2:40

I think it's important to start out, though, with the fact that all matter.

2:45

And I'm going to get very, very metaphysical on you. all matter whether we perceive it as.

2:51

Physical or non-physical is made up of energy, frequency, and vibration.

2:57

So that's where I think every talking point that we'll have today will come down to that.

3:03

Energy. Energy. It's all about energy. Okay. Okay.

3:06

So there's nothing separate about you and I. There's nothing separate about

3:10

this table from me or this microphone from me.

3:14

It just vibrates in a lower vibration because it's seemingly solid.

3:18

But if we took this table and broke it down to its atoms and molecules,

3:23

we're made of the same stuff. So when I do my work, I connect on an energetic level.

3:31

So when I sit down with my clients, with my sound healing,

3:35

I do group events as well, I am basically asking spirit to energetically connect

3:43

with the person I'm sitting with or the person or the people I'm working with in a group setting.

3:50

So as far as manifestation goes, our thoughts are energy and frequency and vibration. Yes.

3:57

So it's kind of like I see it as my analogy is that I think of thoughts as clouds.

4:04

Okay. And I picture clouds when I say, I don't know, I'll pick one of my affirmations. Oh, yes.

4:12

He has the list of affirmations. So I have three pages of affirmations, actually.

4:16

So one of them is a much greater version of these on the horizon.

4:20

And so when I recite that, every molecule, every part of me is reacting to that

4:29

and setting in motion, okay, all the factors that can make that happen.

4:35

So when we think of like

4:38

the weather patterns you know you think you think of well how is

4:41

weather power weather patterns formed well you have a low pressure and a high

4:45

pressure and they meet you have storms and rain or high pressure creates beautiful

4:48

sunshine and no clouds and low pressure creates whatever it's right okay so

4:54

i think of i think of my thoughts as sending out like a cloud.

5:00

And then people's energy will be attracted to, and because we always talk about

5:05

the law of attraction, it will be attracted to that vibration or that cloud.

5:10

And then clouds form and then things just happen.

5:15

I'm not sure the exact quantum physical explanation of that,

5:20

but I just know that those things attract.

5:23

When I put out an intention of the best version, or the much greater version of the horizon.

5:28

I'm asking spirit, I'm asking the universe to attract to that intention.

5:38

Make it happen. Okay. Okay. Through energy. So is that something they can say?

5:44

Yes. Okay. Yeah. And I always follow up my intentions or affirmations with,

5:51

this is my belief and this is my reality.

5:54

Oh. So I'm convincing. I'm not only convincing myself. So I'm convincing the,

6:00

basically I'm a soul that's manifesting as an energy form known as necrobudo,

6:07

that we call necrobudo. Okay. Okay.

6:09

So I'm asking my soul to actually create the situations that will make that happen. I know.

6:18

So they can do this themselves, right? Absolutely. They don't need to go,

6:22

like, drive to. No. No, you don't need to go to an ashram in India to make this happen.

6:29

It used to be this way. I mean, you know, I've got a few years anew, just a few.

6:36

But, you know, back in my day, in the late 60s, early 70s, if you want to be

6:41

enlightened, you had to go somewhere to an ashram and blah, blah,

6:45

blah, blah, and all that kind of stuff, all that kind of woo-woo kind of stuff.

6:48

Well, that's not all woo-woo. It's because science and quantum physics are proving

6:52

that we are, We are our energy beings.

6:55

Yes. We're beings of energy. That's what we are. We're energy.

6:59

And manifesting is just, it's kind of, the brain doesn't know,

7:02

right? If it's real. It's manipulating energy. Okay. Yeah.

7:06

So we can do that. So I do that with my own affirmations. I do that with my

7:10

individual clients because I work with energy, a Reiki practitioner and sound healer.

7:16

I do that in my group activities as well.

7:18

So I think it's important to understand that it's kind of like a dance we do

7:25

with people, with the universe and the world like it.

7:28

So we are, you know, we've had an intention.

7:33

Someone or someone's energy picks up on it, And we kind of do this like,

7:36

okay, well, all right, I'll go to the store and I'm going to go and all of a

7:42

sudden I meet up with Nick Corbuto. And we say, oh, what a coincidence. I ran into so-and-so. No, it's not.

7:49

No, because they picked up, they picked up, whether consciously or unconsciously,

7:54

and more times than not, it's unconsciously, on going to the store.

7:59

And I need this. And all of a sudden, boom, Nick Corbuto's there.

8:02

I'm like, okay. Oh, how are you doing? It's just picking it up too, right? Right.

8:06

Or you pick up a phone and you're ready to text someone and they text you.

8:10

It's the same thing. It's the same principle. All right. So for our single listeners, Ben, they want to meet their soulmate.

8:17

What do they do? Do they put out that intention to the universe and say, hey, how?

8:23

How do they do it? Okay. Well, I think for me, personally, I try to think big in the sense of I don't want,

8:33

well, I think big, but not also entertain lesser affirmations or lesser intent.

8:42

So let's say I'm saying, as a practitioner, I'm saying, well,

8:44

I really want to have 30 appointments a month.

8:48

But then the same brother goes, well, you know, I'd be happy with 10 or 12 just

8:51

to start out. Well, guess what I'm doing? I'm setting myself up for 10 or 12, not 30.

8:58

So the same thing with looking for a mate.

9:01

Well, I think our energy system wants to be told really precisely what it's supposed to manifest.

9:15

So if you say, I'm looking for an Aquarius male with about six foot two, funny,

9:25

sensitive, incident and then like really basically picture this gentleman like picture them mentally,

9:32

Whether you do it in prayer, radio meditation, or just daydreaming,

9:35

whatever that case may be. I think that's one way, okay? Setting the tension and being very,

9:42

very specific about what you want. Yes.

9:46

I can speak on that. I actually, back 10 years ago, I wrote it down in my journal,

9:51

38 qualities and characteristics.

9:54

And one of them was, you know, singing and plays guitar. And everyone was like,

9:58

Lorraine, you're crazy. We don't live in Texas.

10:00

But wouldn't you know? No, I manifested a boyfriend who sings and plays the guitar. Yeah, I'll too.

10:06

I've seen my boyfriend. So it works, guys. It totally works. Yeah, of course.

10:10

Yeah, and I was extremely specific, you know, in those 38 characteristics.

10:15

So is it the more, you know, precise you are with the universe?

10:20

Is that how it works? I'm sorry. So if it's the more precise you are with the

10:24

universe. The more specific you can be, yes. Detailed, yes, absolutely. I want guitar. I want singing.

10:30

I want sensitive. Yes, I want muscular, I want whatever.

10:36

Okay. Whatever it is that you're looking for. Okay, perfect. Absolutely.

10:39

And I think it's also important that I believe very strongly that once you put

10:46

the intention out there, you have to – I've been quoted as saying that the space

10:51

between intention and manifestation is surrender.

10:54

At some point, you have to say, okay, this is what I want.

10:58

I know it's going to happen. But it's going to happen because of all the circumstances

11:03

that are going to be put in place. Now, because we are dense, we are dense physical bodies, we're not in spirit. Right.

11:14

Things take time to manifest. Think about when you're dreaming and you're,

11:19

you know, I was just thinking about this on the way here, so I'm glad this came up.

11:23

Well, maybe I just, yeah, okay. Of course I knew that. Of course you knew. Of course you knew that.

11:29

But, you know, when you're dreaming, you're out of your body.

11:34

So you could be, I could be in Malta in this dream and then saying,

11:39

gee, California would be nice. And you're there.

11:42

You don't have the limitation of this density. Yeah.

11:45

All right. So my next question for you to help our audience was,

11:50

how do you use your intuition to make a decision?

11:53

So for example, you want to move to another state, you want to sell your house,

11:58

you want to end the marriage, you want to take a different job.

12:01

How do you tune into your intuition to really make that decision? Okay.

12:07

Well, it's going to go back to, I believe that we all have a spiritual team.

12:13

We have spirit guides, guardian angels, ancestors, those people in spirit who

12:21

really are working constantly in our best interest.

12:27

So what I do, I just ask my team, you know, let's say I have this decision to make.

12:34

Do I want to, I don't know, do I want to purchase a new gong?

12:38

Do I want to practice in a different location?

12:42

And I literally, my question is spirited. So I say, I ask my team,

12:46

team, what is the best outcome for me?

12:49

Which gong is the best one for me right now that's reasonably priced?

12:53

And I get, yes, very specific. And then I may or may not get the answer immediately.

13:00

More times I don't, but all of a sudden I'm on the internet.

13:05

There it shows up. There it is. The gong shows up.

13:10

When I went independent as a practitioner, I was borrowing people's equipment

13:18

to do sound bath meditations years ago.

13:21

And when I went independent, I said, you know, I said, spirit,

13:24

I would love to manifest another practitioner that is fully prepared to work with me.

13:34

And literally through a mutual friend, this gentleman showed up.

13:38

I mean, he just appeared like within weeks.

13:42

So sometimes it takes time and sometimes it happens really, really quickly.

13:47

But as far as my intuition, I'm asking my team to help me. Okay. For sure.

13:54

They've been with me forever. Oh. And you're one? Yes.

14:00

We all have a team. We all have spirit guides. We may not have a relationship

14:04

with them yet, but we all do.

14:07

So, you know, in Christianity, they call guardian angels, whatever.

14:11

You can call them what you want. Yeah, that's another question.

14:14

But I do want to mention that my spirit guide, so last time I went to your,

14:19

it was A.A. Ron, so we were joking.

14:23

Yes, of course. Instead of Aaron, it was A.A. Ron.

14:26

So my spirit guide is A.A. Ron. One of them, yeah.

14:30

Yeah, so one of them. So you can actually find out your spirit guides if Nick

14:35

can talk to them or channel them, right?

14:37

Yes. Okay. If I'll end up in a private, sure, in a private section, sure.

14:42

Yes. Because when I'm working privately with individuals, I mean,

14:45

I'm literally, before I start, for those of you that, of course,

14:49

you don't know because I'm on podcast, but my individual session starts out

14:54

with a brief meditation. It goes into almost a half hour of sound healing.

14:59

So I use gongs and bowls and kosher chimes and triangle pyramids and all kinds of stuff, tuning works.

15:07

And second half is actual reiki but

15:10

from the from the day i learned when i was studying reiki

15:13

as soon as i touch as soon as

15:16

i place fingertips on someone i started

15:19

getting messages now i always kind of

15:23

felt like i had that ability i just i just didn't have the the avenue to like

15:27

direct it i wasn't doing readings you know 30 30 years ago i knew i had something

15:32

so i what i do is i I literally asked my guides to collaborate with the person

15:39

I'm sitting with, their guides, to work together to create a conduit for messages to be received and delivered.

15:48

So that's – and I love when people say that, and I'm not downplaying this.

15:54

You say amazing, but I really want everyone to know that because it's not like,

16:00

ooh, Nick has this ability. I want people to know that everyone has this ability.

16:05

Every single person. You know, we believe that we're made in the image and likeness of God.

16:10

Jesus said that, you know, what I do, all can do.

16:15

I'm here to tell you that it took me into my 60s to actually have this fully

16:23

manifest, where I really, truly, fully knew what I was going to be doing for the rest of my life.

16:28

Wow. I had hints of it all through my life.

16:32

I was a band director teacher for 36 years, but on a parallel track,

16:38

I had a very, very deep, deep spirituality.

16:42

And I basically, I couldn't really put one into the other, because you really

16:48

can't talk about spiritual stuff or religion in a school setting.

16:52

Yes, definitely. But the kids I was close with, who went out calling and stuff

16:57

like that, I kind of shared a little bit.

17:00

I kind of let them in a little bit. The kids I really felt like were mature

17:04

enough to understand and could handle what I told them about my past and what

17:09

I did spiritually. Yeah. I think it's important to know that, I mean, what I do, anyone can do. Okay.

17:18

It's just having, it is absolutely, it's just having the tools.

17:22

It's putting the time in to realize that you have the ability.

17:26

Number one, it's like that's also a form of manifestation. Okay?

17:31

Okay, so here's another affirmation I say on a regular basis.

17:36

I am now ready to empower to the next level the template of my life path.

17:40

From this moment forth, I consecrate my life force to a life of oneness,

17:45

divine love, God's infinite abundance,

17:49

vibrant health, eternal youth, and everything else that supports my highest

17:54

good and helps me in fulfilling my divine purpose and reason for being.

18:00

That's a long one. That's a long one. That's a long one. But there's a lot of information there.

18:04

Can we share that with our listeners? Absolutely. Okay. So I'll put that in

18:08

the share notes, everyone, so you can recite it. Do you have to say it aloud

18:11

for it to work, or can you just say it in your mind? You can either way. Okay.

18:15

But the important thing is to follow up any affirmation or anything that you're

18:21

looking to manifest with, this is my belief and this is my reality.

18:26

Because that tells every single atom, molecule, whatever you want to call them, that makes you you.

18:32

It tells them how to start to work. And it puts out energetically that thought

18:39

or those thoughts, that's a long one, so that all the conditions can happen to manifest.

18:45

Okay, great. Well, we're giving another tool a new job. All right.

18:50

So moving on, we'll get some other questions in here to help you guys out.

18:54

So just, I have a question of how do you feel better energy-wise when maybe

19:01

you're dealing with depression or grief? And what can you do to get yourself feeling better?

19:07

You know, if you're really down and really blue.

19:10

Are there energy tricks that they can do to get in a better space? Yeah.

19:16

Are we talking about a quick fix or something long-term? Oh, yeah.

19:19

Probably quick fix. Quick fix? Yeah. I would say, you know, a meditation practice. Yes.

19:27

You know, you're looking at a person with a 40-year-plus meditation practice.

19:32

Back then, there were no apps and cell phones. So now there's Calm, there's Indeed.

19:41

Yeah, there's a bunch of them out there. There's so many. Well,

19:43

just go to YouTube and you can type in any, you can type in,

19:48

you know, guided meditation for, you know, depression.

19:52

Yes. It's there. So, you know, it's readily available.

19:56

It is. And it really works. That's what I used 10 years ago when I was going

19:59

through a divorce and I was just, you know, it was my mental Prozac,

20:03

you know, it was what felt get me through, get out of my own head. It was so bad.

20:07

So I can definitely attest to meditation.

20:10

And I would just do the ones, it was the guided meditations with Deepak Chopra and Oprah.

20:16

So that was 10 years ago. But now there's a new app, it's called Superhumans

20:22

that has affirmations and meditations.

20:24

But like you said, the tools are out there, but it does help reprogram your

20:29

mind, right? So you don't feel so sad.

20:32

Is that how it works? Well, I think, you know, I think depression is also a

20:37

chemical reaction in your body. So, while it's easier for me to say, except that I've never experienced it personally,

20:44

just do something physical.

20:47

You need a physical release of those chemicals that make you,

20:50

or that electromagnetic reality of feeling that way.

20:55

It needs to be just, I need to get rid of it. Yeah, yeah. Get out, walk, do something.

21:00

Just don't sit. I know it's easier said than done.

21:03

So for those of you who are suffering from depression, you might say,

21:08

well, Nick, come on, really? But I say do it. Try it.

21:13

Yes. I chose to start running to help my sadness and get that energy stuck.

21:21

And I signed up for marathons. You don't have to do so extreme,

21:25

right? But it was my way of coping. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, which clearly I do.

21:31

Oh my goodness. All right. So I have a couple of other questions for you.

21:34

So when someone says, and I get this a lot, actually, I didn't used to as much,

21:40

but now that I'm in the whole energy world and someone says, your energy is amazing.

21:46

I like to think that I give off a good vibe, good aura.

21:49

You know, how can our listeners assess, do a self-assessment?

21:53

Like, what kind of vibe are you giving off and what kind of energy do you project?

21:58

Well, I think people, when you sense people's energy, like, wow, you have a good vibe.

22:03

Because people were vibrating at a higher level, higher frequency. Yeah.

22:07

And that just comes from the work that we put in individually.

22:11

I just believe that if we, again, if we're looking for quick fixes, I don't know.

22:17

If we're looking for long-term and raising our vibration, you know, it's meditation.

22:22

It's, you know, seeing a practitioner. It's going to a sound bath.

22:27

There's a lot involved. I don't think there's a lot involved,

22:30

but there are ways of raising your vibration.

22:33

So it's contagious. People just sense it.

22:36

Yes. You know, you walk into a room, you're like, wow. You spot somebody and

22:41

go, wow, that person, I feel their energy because they're vibrating at a very high level. That's why.

22:47

And you've told me a couple times that my energy is off the charts, right? Yes.

22:51

So yes. Yes, I have. So when he's done the Reiki portion, the energy just vibrates

22:57

so much. It's just like, okay. Part of my Reiki, part of my practice, of course, is the Salahian portion.

23:05

So I use two ways of gathering information about someone's energy.

23:10

Okay, so the instruments for me give me a clue as to what chakra is not working

23:18

or not moving fast enough. So especially with, I use tuning forks.

23:23

So I really do like a body scan.

23:25

And then wherever the forks, I tap them, and wherever the forks are vibrating,

23:32

then that tells me that that That chakra needs to work.

23:34

Okay. Okay. So basically, if people who vibrate at a high energy level,

23:39

their chakras are moving in the right direction, number one,

23:44

and then also moving freely and uninhibited.

23:48

So that creates a high energy level, something that's perceivable.

23:53

It is absolutely perceivable. I know that with people who, obviously I've worked with people who suffer from

23:58

depression, impression. And I can just know, I know from, first of all, from the instruments that,

24:05

Let's say they're a sacral chakra, you know, and they've lost their passion

24:09

for whatever it is that they were passionate with.

24:11

Or their root chakra, they're just not rooted or grounded. They're just moving slowly.

24:17

The Ishvara tells me. Okay. Okay, they vibrate a certain way.

24:21

Of course, when I'm laying hands and doing Reiki, the portion of the spirit just talks to me.

24:27

Because I know you may or may not have heard it many times, but I've worked

24:31

with you, but after I do the sound healing portion, Before I do the Reiki portion,

24:35

I literally ask Spirit, I stand at your feet and I say, Spirit,

24:39

just open the book on this soul that we know as Lorraine and tell me what she needs to hear today.

24:46

Tell me what's going to help her grow, what's going to help her heal.

24:51

Yeah. We all have trauma from the past.

24:55

We all have it. You gave me an amazing message that just brought tears to my

25:00

eyes and it was exactly what I needed. So which spirit delivered to you that

25:05

message? So I can attest to that. So, yeah. So for me, I ask, again, I'm asking my guides to open the book on

25:14

the person I'm working with. And please tell me, what does this person need to hear today?

25:18

Yes. How can they grow? How can they heal?

25:21

Perfect. Well, I would love to give them some, like, two tips to take with them.

25:28

Maybe it's a book or something they can do to get on a higher energy frequency

25:34

and to actually use the law of attraction. Okay.

25:37

I would say self-care first. Self-care. Okay.

25:41

I'm talking about a meditation practice, reciting intentions, affirmations. Okay.

25:48

You know, I have a pile of books at my house that I have.

25:54

I have probably right now three or, no, about four unfinished books.

26:00

I have more than that. So I'm like, I almost feel like sometimes I get what

26:06

I wanted out of the book by the three-quarters of the way through the book.

26:11

And I'm just sure if I need the rest of this. But maybe one day I'll pick it up and finish it. But, you know,

26:16

reading, you know, I mean, there's deep dives on the internet.

26:20

I mean, YouTube is just an infinite amount of information.

26:25

And, you know, people are going to find stuff that resonates with them.

26:29

That's how it was for me. That's how, you know, for me to even meet my spirit guides.

26:34

And when I was a very, very staunchly practicing Catholic, I lived upstairs from my parents.

26:41

This is where I lived on Long Island. and my mother had a set of books.

26:45

Those of you who are older might know this. It's called Butler's Lives of the Saints.

26:50

I used to read about the life of a saint every morning. That was like my morning

26:56

meditation, part of my morning meditation.

26:59

On March 6th, I don't recall the year. It's a very important date for me, 3-6.

27:07

I opened the book, and there was St.

27:09

John Joseph of the Cross. This is before I even knew, I mean,

27:13

I kind of knew that we had guardian angels and,

27:17

spirit guides, opened the book to John Joseph of the Cross.

27:21

I'm reading about his life, and he's talking about that he prophesied,

27:28

which meant he was intuitive, psychic, medium, whatever you want to call it, that he would bilocate.

27:33

People would see him in different places at the same time.

27:37

And then he spoke to me. He said, I'm your guide.

27:43

That's how he came to me. As a child. as

27:46

well no this is no this is i was i was

27:49

married at the time oh okay it just varied but

27:52

three six was important because that was that's the date of my

27:55

my wife and i's first date oh three six yeah three six six yeah which we which

28:03

we celebrate every year yes i know i see on facebook but you know that was so

28:08

again so there's ways i mean taking a deep dive on youtube is there's There's

28:12

nothing wrong with that. Although some people are frowned upon for saying it on computers for hours and

28:18

hours. But listen, it's out there. It's out there to learn.

28:22

Okay. Yeah. I have one more question. Do you have time for one more?

28:25

I have time for it. I need you. I like to make it, you know, sort of relatable.

28:29

So I went to Nick last time and he's like, what's going on with your lower back?

28:33

So that's kind of like the root chakra area-ish.

28:37

And I didn't even tell him. My lower back has been killing me. It was killing me.

28:43

And he's like, you suggested maybe some gentle yoga or something.

28:48

So I started doing that, and that helped a little bit. But if you can just, there are these energy centers, these chakras that I was talking about.

28:55

So the root chakra, lower back pain, so if someone's having hip pain or lower

29:02

back pain, what does that correlate to?

29:05

Well, this trauma from the past will reside in different areas of the body.

29:10

Depending on what kind of trauma it was. But like a blocked root chakra, is that attached to like... It's attached to

29:18

stability. Stability, okay. Yeah.

29:21

Long-term success. Yeah. Okay. Definitely. Yeah. And then throat chakra, right,

29:28

is someone who's maybe not speaking the truth.

29:30

They don't speak the truth. Or they feel like they were never heard when they

29:34

were a child or an adolescent. Sure. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Heart chakra is obvious. Oh, yes.

29:42

You know, right? Right, if you don't feel loved. Yeah, well,

29:45

you know, I'm going to tell you a quick story. When I was born, I was the third child of two older brothers.

29:52

And my mother wanted a girl the worst way. The worst way.

29:57

And I was born, I got chills just saying it.

30:00

My mother and grandmother cried for days.

30:04

They wanted a girl. So even though I couldn't hear or understand what was going

30:11

on, on an energy level, I felt rejected.

30:17

So my core belief about myself for the longest time was overachieving and trying to improve myself.

30:23

But my father stepped in, though. After the third day of them crying,

30:28

he said, he wrote a letter to my mother from me. Oh, that's amazing.

30:35

Oh, did you keep the letter? No, he never, he didn't keep it.

30:39

Well, she didn't keep it, but he wrote a letter to her from me saying, how could you reject me?

30:45

I'm your flesh and blood. I'm your son.

30:47

You know, I love you. I'm so happy you brought me into the world.

30:51

You and Dad brought me into the world. This is my father, who became like Marine Corps Sergeant Al Corbuto.

30:56

Wow. Or was Marine Corps Sergeant Al Corbuto.

30:59

So I had a core belief about myself that I wasn't worthy. Yes.

31:05

And that was definitely like lower chakras for me.

31:08

That took years and years of work for me to get over the fact that I really am worthy.

31:14

I really am competent. I really am okay.

31:19

There's nothing wrong with me. It just energetically resided in my lower chakras. So I had back pain most of my life.

31:30

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, whenever I hear someone say, oh, my back just seized up or

31:35

my neck seized up out of nowhere. No, it didn't. I'm always like, what's going on or what happened to your traps

31:41

that you haven't resided? Our soul will manifest the conditions for us to grow.

31:46

It's just what it is. It's just the way it works.

31:51

There's no other way. No. There's no getting around it.

31:55

Your soul creates the circumstances for you to grow and heal.

32:01

But that's where we're in. This is like Life School 101.

32:06

Okay? This is one manifestation of our soul. Our soul has many manifestations.

32:11

Many of the lives, if we didn't get into past lives, that would be a whole other

32:14

situation. That would be a whole other thing.

32:17

Maybe more. Maybe more. But our soul, you know, we come into this existence, I believe that our soul

32:26

sets up certain situations over a lifetime. time.

32:30

So some people say, well, are these things predetermined? To some degree,

32:34

yes. But we do have free will.

32:38

So when Judy came along in my life, you know, I could have said, no, I'm not interested.

32:45

But I knew I loved her. It was just like an overwhelming, like,

32:49

I knew that this is the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with.

32:54

Yes. And Judy's his wife. Judy's my wife. Yeah, she is. It's like, who's she?

32:59

She's awesome. She is awesome. She really is.

33:04

So, yeah, the soul sets up these situations for us to grow and heal.

33:09

And on that note, I'm reading a book that you said you've read.

33:12

It's The Seed of the Soul by Gary Zukav. And it's amazing.

33:17

So, if you want to learn more about the seed of your soul and break it down, that's a great book.

33:22

Absolutely. I've read about three books from him. Yes. Yeah.

33:26

And it's always the same message. He just clothes it differently.

33:31

That's fun. Yeah, it is. Great. So, how can people find you?

33:35

33:39

It's a calling, something I knew about from when I was very,

34:55

very young. I just didn't know how it was going to look.

34:57
