Dolores: 1:10

Welcome, Dolores. Well, thanks, Rose. I appreciate the invitation and look forward to what our conversation is going to unfold.

Rose: 1:19

Yes, and me too. In just a few minutes that we had a chance to chat, I already feel a very strong connection to you. I feel that we're very much kindred spirits here, which I love. So let's tell the audience about your journey and how you got to where you are today in your practice.

Dolores: 1:38

Oh, my goodness. So you know, everybody has their story and mine is pretty unique to me has their story and mine is pretty unique to me. I'm just going to give you the condensed version because there's a lot more going on. But I was born an empath, intuitive and highly sensitive person and I was raised in a household where we were not allowed to feel, in fact, anything that was painful. My mom's MO would be ignore it, it'll go away. And when you say that to an empath, intuitive and highly sensitive person, it doesn't go away, it gets bigger. So I used to tell my mom it was, you know, predating any type of Western medicine, technology or advances that we saw in the 70s and 80s, and he picked up a hospital, acquired infection. So that was pretty much what we considered a death sentence in Western medicine. Because you, he was in the hospital for over two months and he was pretty much knocking on death's door and by the grace of God he survived that. But what had happened at that time as well, remember, we weren't allowed to feel in our house or even talk about it.

Dolores: 2:59

I really channeled that emotion into music and I really excelled at it. In fact, I was on a trajectory to become a concert clarinetist and in the 11th hour I changed over to go into health care and the pivotal moment with that was my dad as I shared with you had been sick, you know, in the 1960s, with his back issue. Well, every time his immune system would get compromised, that whole sequela of events would reoccur. His immune system would get compromised, that whole sequela of events would reoccur. So between 1970 and 1975, this happened four different times. So my childhood was this emotional roller coaster and I didn't know, you know my, you know the male figure in my house, just, you know, wasn't there and, you know, not by his choice but by what you know had been transpiring. So there was a lot of moving parts and I feel that that was really instrumental.

Dolores: 3:51

Now, the last time that he ended up with that episode, the CAT scanner came on board in Western medicine in about 1975. And that was the first piece of diagnostic technology, you know, paving the path for modern medicine as we see it today. So they put my dad underneath the CAT scanner and, lo and behold, they found where he had his infection and their solution was that he was going to have to have major back surgery, a spinal fusion, which in 1975 was in its neophyte stages of development. So it came with a high risk of either you could die, you could be paralyzed, you may get better, you may not get better, and my mom had had it at that point. She was at her wits end. So she started looking at other possibilities and remember, this is 1975, we're not in 1990. We're Google, or, you know, google, md, search or whatever. We had newspapers and magazines. So she picked up a copy of the National Enquirer, of all things, and she found an article that was being featured of this man who was a minister from Carroll, michigan, who had the gift of laying on of hands, and he was being featured because he had assisted his brother in healing from leukemia and he had been doing this work for about 25 years prior. So since the 1950s this man was doing alternative stuff. Now, remember, this is 1975. This was considered uber, whacka, quacko, right. So my dad was like he was really the biggest skeptic, my mom not so much, and he only agreed if the surgeon gave his blessing on it. So you know, they were in the hospital at the time because my dad was hospitalized, and so my mom marched out to the nurse's station and there happened to be the surgeon. And so she, you know, shared with him I'm thinking about having this spiritual healer come in and assist my husband with his, with his health condition. And so the surgeons, you know, at the desk writing doesn't miss a beat, looks up and says, sure, that's fine, and just continued doing what he was doing. Mom went back to my dad's room, shared that news. Not 10 minutes went by. My mom came back out to the same nurse's station, same surgeon sitting there, made the announcement to the surgeon and said my husband agreed to have the spiritual healer come in. The surgeon stopped what he was doing, looked up at her and said what are you talking about? I never agreed to that. So my mom didn't share that piece of information with my father.

Dolores: 6:33

And a month later Reverend Holmes was at our humble abode in Connecticut and my mom flew him in from Michigan where he lived. Flew him in from Michigan where he lived, and you know he was just this very pure, quiet but very humble type of man and very observant too. And I don't know how he knew this, but my dad had one leg that was shorter than the other. So when my dad sat down he said to my father Joe, put both your feet up, and sure enough, there was a one inch gap and he started saying some prayers over my father. Joe, put both your feet up and sure enough, there was a one inch gap and he started saying some prayers over my father. He touched his belly, solar plexus, his head, crown, chakra, and you know, three or four minutes went by. He said put both your feet up, and they were both the same length.

Dolores: 7:19

In that moment my life changed forever. I knew that it was my mission to go into health care to bridge the physical with the spiritual and the visible with the invisible. My father started crying like a baby, like I've never, ever witnessed, and the reverend did more uh, healing on him about a half an hour more and then he was instructed to go lie down and rest Because, as we know, when you do massive energy work on a person, you are changing the field. But it's like the equivalent of a computer getting a new program. You have to download it. It got downloaded and you need to rest or reboot. Reboot this computer and you know so it could reintegrate that higher frequency. My dad slept for over 24 hours. He returned back to the CAT scanner. It showed no evidence of his infection. He never had to have that surgery, he never had to revisit that problem in his life and he passed away 12 years ago at the age of 80.

Rose: 8:25

Oh gosh, god bless. Oh, what amazing. So I can see how that could be life changing. Witnessing that, and also as an empath and intuitive how you must have felt what he was going through.

Dolores: 8:39

Oh, it was. It was just horrible, because, as an empath intuitive, as you and I both know, we take on things, and a lot of times we take on things on an unconscious level to heal it through us, and I wasn't really aware of that until much later in my life as as part of my spiritual growth and involvement as well. So, yeah, it's, it's been very, it's been a very interesting journey. So my biggest conundrum was OK, now, what do I do with this? Because here you are, I, you know it's just like I'm in. Back then it was so black and white with no shades of gray. The good news is I've been in healthcare probably almost 50 years now, and this is the time that we've been waiting for.

Rose: 10:35

Yes, oh, absolutely. And you, my friend, were a pioneer. Yes, and we need pioneers because they forge that, they blaze that trail, just like in your bio, and that's what you did, yeah definitely.

Dolores: 10:51

Wow, that's an amazing story. Thank you for that.

Rose: 10:53

Yes of course, and you know, as you're beautifully explaining everything, I could visualize everything and I also sensed, although your mother didn't feel right, didn't express those feelings. She obviously felt it, but she was guided also by her intuition and I also feel that you supported that in a way, held that space for that to happen. Oh my gosh, I'm getting the chills and I'm looking at.

Dolores: 11:18

Thank you for that. You know what? I never even thought of that.

Rose: 11:22

But oh my gosh, yes, yes.

Dolores: 11:24

Yeah, but you know it, I have to circle back that whole thing with the surgeon thing. This is what I call a God moment Right, absolutely.

Dolores: 11:36

Everything was orchestrated behind the scenes in order for the next steps to happen. And I got privy to this once my father passed away about 12 years ago. That his father, my grandfather, who I I'm very close to in the spirit realm um, he's like one of my guides. He actually helped orchestrate all of that on the other side. Beautiful, I knew, I knew that I got that you know that little little peak of insight and I was like, okay, thank you.

Rose: 12:10

Now I get it. Wow, that's beautiful. Oh, so glad that it worked out. That's a very, very inspiring story. A lot of different ways. A lot of different ways. Yes, that's wonderful. So you are a nurse practitioner and you incorporate or integrate energy practices into your practice, right? So you have medical and you're a medical intuitive and an energy whisperer. So I'd like to talk a little bit about what each of them are. So let's talk about medical intuition and how that works.

Dolores: 12:48

Medical intuition. You know, Rose, there's so many different variations of it. Okay, Sometimes we have people who can scan a body and feel what's going on. Remember, everything is energy. Okay, what you and I are both looking at and witnessing in our backgrounds, our demonstration, even our physical capability, is a demonstration of energy, but a denser form of it, because if you were to put those items and ourselves under a high, high, high power microscope, you would see everything vibrating like energy. So the things that we can't see are, you know, our thoughts, our beliefs, our emotions, our connectedness to ourself. That's all like radio waves, energy. Everything has a frequency and energy to it. Just because you cannot tangibly see it doesn't mean it does not exist.

Dolores: 13:44

So, for me, I've been very fluent at reading energy from a very young age.

Dolores: 13:50

So if reading energy was a language, I would be, you know, uber fluent in it, Because when people start talking, I could, you know, I all of a sudden I'm able to go into who you know, that energy timeline and look at how things kind of manifested. And I think the most interesting thing is this the way I could describe it is when they start talking, I tap into their energy and I could see where you know emotions may have been trapped, where, if they're connected to themselves, where they spend the majority of their time in their head, their body or you know whatever and I'm able to give them guidance as to what needs to have happen in order for them to come into better alignment. It's not about healing them and doing the work for them. It's teaching them how to fix this for themselves. Okay, Because these are tools that everybody has access to, and when you're able to realign things, you could. You know, it's like the holes in the Swiss cheese get aligned and it's just like you know.

Rose: 15:07

It's a straight bullet point. Yeah, it's about balancing. So all comes back to balancing and also unblocking energy. That's blocked Cause I work with energy as well, but to be able to be able to, to speak to someone and then have that, that connection, to be able to do that, I mean that's a gift and that's fascinating. How long have you known that you've been able to do that?

Dolores: 15:33

Probably my whole entire life, but really consciously probably the last 30 plus years.

Rose: 15:41

So when you were doing this, or knew that this was a part of you a long time ago, how did you feel? Did you feel like odd man out?

Dolores: 15:51

Oh my God. Yes, it was just like I'm thinking to myself okay, where's my manual to come to earth, because I have no idea how to fit in. It's just like I would say something and it would be my truth and I would get ridiculed. Or the thing was oh, that's a bunch of baloney. And it's just like. I really relish those conversations now because you know, when you get to be our age, rose, it's just like you know what, you know who you are, you know what's out there, you know your wisdom just shines through. So I've had some very interesting dialogues with medical colleagues in my career because I still practice in in the realms of Western medicine. I'm an assistant surgeon, so I assist on all different types of surgeries as an assistant assistant surgeon and I've been doing that work for the last 30 years, where I get to really witness the end products of people's creations um beautiful yes so it's just like because you will see 20 different people with the same physical thing, but how they got to it is a whole different pathway.

Dolores: 17:09

Okay, so this is where Western medicine really is. I'm concerned about it because they tried to pigeonhole everybody in a box the same way because of the end product, the physical disease they have, and thinking that they could fix it with a pill, procedure or you know whatever, or even surgery, and without looking deeper, below the surface of the iceberg, because underneath there is the treasure trove of how that particular disease was created for that individual. Okay, where people because everybody's had experiences and they don't take that into consideration of how they cope with things, how they, whether or not they experience their emotions or not, whether or not they're in their body, a lot of people don't live in their body. There is a disconnect.

Rose: 18:14

Oh, yes, yes, A huge disconnect.

Dolores: 18:17

Yeah, oh, yes, yes, a huge disconnect, yeah, and so it's about, it's a renaissance of people coming back to self, self, meaning being in their body, physically present in this moment. And I think what people are starting to understand is that we have multiple brains in our body. We have the brain brain, the heart brain and the gut brain and they all need to play nicely together in the sandbox and they're bullying each other sometimes and they're not communicating, they're ignoring each other. They're just, you know, the ego's like I'm most important. Then the heart thing is like well, you know. And then the heart thing is like, well, you know. And then this gut thing is like, oh, hell, no, you know. And it's like so it's just like it's about balancing that within yourself.

Dolores: 19:08

Now, case in point I we just had, um, the family member, go through open heart surgery, probably about two weeks ago and, knowing this person for my entire life, you know we get a little tap on the shoulder. It's like, rose, you need to do something. You ignore it. You get a slap on the face Rose, you need to do something, you ignore it. Then the refrigerator falls on you and then your attention is totally with that thing. So, to witness that and also to know what that person experienced and how he dealt with his emotions. He is totally disconnected from his body. In fact, he doesn't even take care of himself.

Rose: 19:52

Yeah.

Dolores: 19:53

So, you know, it's interesting witnessing that. The good news is is that I believe this is like his opportunity for an awakening, which I believe, you know, things happen for a reason. By the grace of God he's alive because if his wife was not up when she was, he would have been gone.

Rose: 20:12

Yeah, oh, wow. Yes, he definitely has another chance and opportunity to change and to embrace life and, hopefully, a different perspective. I think when we undergo something like that, I know that from firsthand experience we think of things a lot differently. Yeah, so you know, people are disconnected from their bodies, but also disconnected from their feelings. There's a lot of people that don't feel, don't know how to feel. They suppress those feelings and it manifests into something physical, right? And you see that and you're involved in all these surgeries. Do you feel that there's like a pattern that people have that lead to certain disease or ailments Like, okay, well, I'm going to just go right into breast cancer, for example. What is it that you feel is the underlying reason, or possible?

Dolores: 21:05

reason. I think there's a whole sequela of things. I think what I feel with, like, breast cancer it's like when you think about breast, it's nurturing, it's nurturing self. And when you talk to some of these women who come in with breast cancer, they a lot of times they have a lot on their plate and maybe you know, you get, you know you, maybe you get some attention for yourself, but usually not. You're not, you're you're, you're putting yourself, but usually not You're putting everybody else first over yourself. So I feel that when people have breast cancer, it's an opportunity for them to learn how to love and nurture themselves.

Rose: 21:50

I agree with you. I had breast cancer and it came at a time where my kids were little and I just was not, that was a wake up call.

Rose: 21:59

I'm sure, oh, it was a huge wake up call, and you know I'm always looking over my shoulder still, but I always wonder if there's this common theme. And I look at that. What a first thing I looked at because I was already a Reiki practitioner at the time was like okay, why am I, why did? Did I get breast cancer? I don't take care of myself. You know, why did my mother have breast cancer? She didn't take care of herself, you know. And that's why people like you are here to educate and help people to heal before something happens, hopefully, and to teach them how to do it for themselves.

Dolores: 22:37

Because you know, rose, we all have that innate ability to heal ourselves. We are wired that way. It's one of our sovereign rights as a human being. But yet we have given that power away to something outside of ourselves, and so it's about reestablishing a connection with yourself. A lot of times, people don't like themselves. Okay, they're not comfortable with themselves.

Dolores: 23:07

Well, that's it. And the thing is I love this saying it's like the longest relationship you're ever going to have in your life is the one you have with yourself. Yet, and it's not your spouse, you're not your kids. Think about that. Okay, you come into the world with yourself Yet, and it's not your spouse, you're not your kids. Think about that. Okay, you come into the world with yourself and you're going to go out of the world with yourself, but yet we treat ourselves so not so nicely. Just for an example, the things you say to yourself in the quiet of your mind, the judging and criticizing we do to ourselves.

Dolores: 23:37

It's no surprise that humanity is in the state that it's in right now. Case in point, let's just look at that what we say to ourselves. You know, you're not good enough, or you're ugly, or you're too fat. That's a drop, that's like a pebble, and so we contribute to collective consciousness, which is this big pool of water of everybody else's stuff that they've dumped into that. So you drop that pebble of not being good enough or unworthy into that water and guess what, when you drop it in, it ripples out and it affects that whole body of water. Okay, how we change that is, start being nicer to ourselves, having some self-compassion. We need a whopping dose of self-compassion right now, and compassion because how we switch that pool of collective consciousness is individually, and we all need to show up for ourselves because we are worth it.

Rose: 24:37

Yes, we are worth it, and self-compassion, unfortunately, is something that we need to learn. Yes, we do. It doesn't just show up. We have to learn what it's like to turn that compassion that we give others towards ourselves, and it's hard for some people.

Dolores: 24:55

Yes, it is, and it's hard for some people. Yes, it is, and you know, I find one of the easiest ways to do that because where we're going energetically as a collective is fifth dimensional. It's about vibration, okay. So words have frequency and vibration right, I hate you has a lower vibration. Vibrational quality right, I hate you has a lower vibrational quality, right, it's energy Also, you know, I love you is better.

Dolores: 25:25

Self-compassion is way up here. So all is necessary is, like the awareness, that number one. You're beating yourself up and judging and criticizing yourself. Then you could make a different choice. Yes, you could go down that pathway and continue. I don't recommend it, but it's. It's about okay, I can make a choice. I'm starting to really be hard on myself. I'm just going to focus on the word self compassion and feel the vibration of that word. That is all that is necessary. It's not about figuring it out, it's a feel thing. Just feel the vibration and the energy of the word.

Dolores: 26:00

Now, dr Mazaro Emoto I think you know him, who used to bless his heart. He passed away probably about 10 years ago or maybe more than that, but he was a pioneer as well. He would label vessels of water with words fast, freeze them and look at the crystalline formation under a microscope. I'm really simplifying this, but the thing is that's what he would do in a nutshell, and he would photograph those crystals and, of course, the higher vibrating words like peace, love, appreciation, were these beautiful, symmetrical, they look like snowflake crystals. Whereas if he labeled a bottle of water and did the same thing with I hate you, war, worry, those crystalline formations would be fragmented or even dull or just non non-forming.

Dolores: 26:56

So what does that tell you? What you label your vessel of water, your body is at least 75% water. Okay, how are you labeling that vessel? Because that water is going to adapt to whatever that vibration is. You're feeding it and that's going to actually contribute to creating a physical problem. The physical disease issue is the end result of a cumulative effect of everything that's kind of gone on under the surface of that iceberg. Okay, the physical is the tip of the iceberg and everything below the surface of the water is everything that's been running the show and creating that.

Rose: 27:42

Yeah, you know I oftentimes, when I'm working with people and they ask me well, you know why is this happening, and we'll just have conversations and I hear the same thing that they're saying and repeating about themselves, like whether it's not unworthy or I feel guilty was oftentimes that's a big one, big one.

Rose: 28:04

And then I'm like and then I say, well, what did you just say? And you said that several times, and then it's almost like an awakening. Oh, you know the guilt, maybe the underlying reason that they're experiencing. Whatever it is that they're experiencing, totally agree, yeah, Totally agree, but it doesn't make it easy to turn around and try to fix that right. So talk about that. Like you know, there's work to be identified and done.

Dolores: 28:32

Well, you know, and I think a lot of times people want the easy way out. They want that pill to take One and done, they want to bypass, they don't want to do the deep work that has to happen, and I think it's because of the fear of the unknown. Like they're afraid they're going to unlatch Pandora's box. The lid's going to go flying off the box and it's never going to get shut. Well, I have news for you. I've lived through it it does shut again it may open up again, but it does shut again.

Dolores: 29:01

But it's okay. And you know, I think what's important right now too is, with everything that we're experiencing globally in our world, it's pushing a lot of people's buttons right now. Okay, so they're triggers. Buttons right now, okay, so they're triggers. And these are opportunities, because the, the external trigger, is never what you think. It is Okay, the you're triggered and you know you could. When you're aware, you could realize, okay, this is really pushing my buttons. And when you sit with it, you could either say I'm going to react to it or why is that so?

Dolores: 29:42

And when you sit with what is coming up within you? The emotion. This is where the gold nuggets are, because sometimes it might have been something that happened earlier in your childhood, and what happens is like part of our soul fractures off and gets landlocked in that other time and place, and our natural tendency is to ignore it. Okay, put it on a shelf, deal with it later. And it's energy, it's never been dealt with, but part of us is trapped there. So what you need to do is go back and feel what those feelings are and just imagine that the feeling is like a big bubble. When you take a step into the bubble when you're feeling it. Next thing you know, you take another step and another step and you're outside of the bubble. Another step and another step and you're outside of the bubble when you experience your emotions. You dissipate the energy and bring it to natural ground, zero point, where it doesn't have an effect on you. Now, with something that happened, the core issue or the core injury where a part of your soul fractured off, this is how you recollect parts of yourself. Okay, it's kind of shamanic in its own little way. Yeah, yeah, definitely, yeah, it's. It's very powerful, because our natural tendency when something's really painful is just to push it away and keep it at bay. But really what it wants, rose, is this it's dying to come back home to you, but you're keeping it away. So the best thing you could do is, when this comes up and you're feeling it and a lot of times we have somatic responses when our emotions come up you might have, you know, tightness in your belly, just whatever that belly pain is. Just put your hands on it and just infuse it with so much pink love and light and unconditional love and acceptance, like it was, you know, your favorite being or pet, that unconditional. You know love that's there and when you're able to infuse this area with that energy, that somatic response dissipates. It may move to another place. So we keep chasing it down with love and appreciation until it comes to a neutral thing, and a lot of times you're able to. This is like where inner child work comes in. You know, the inner child might appear and you could have a dialogue with the inner child and it's about merging the inner child back to you, bringing her home and welcoming her. Yeah, so you know, case in point.

Dolores: 32:25

I know this is an interesting story because I live in Southern California now, but I've lived out here for almost 36 years. So, growing up in New England, I remember one of our childhood homes, like before I was in kindergarten. Whenever I would fly back to Connecticut I would drive by that house and sit outside the house. I don't know why, but I just I didn't really realize what this was all about, but I was. I left parts of my soul there I was trying to bring back to home, and my brother has done the same thing and I didn't find out about this until later. So it's interesting that once you know, because a lot of stuff happened like the first five or six years of our life there, and you know it was interesting just being able to call back pieces of yourself and reintegrate that and gain the wisdom of what was there in that experience, so you're able to become more complete and whole within yourself.

Rose: 33:30

Okay, it can also be that you went back. Well, maybe not you, but you may go back because you're experiencing or you are thinking about the good times yes that you had.

Rose: 33:42

So it's not necessarily a traumatic time in your life whether you're a life where you left it there, but a piece of, like your memories that you want to recollect and reignite or just, you know, hold within again to help you feel good. But I do what you said about reconnecting with maybe a piece of your inner child. I resonate with that and I think a lot of people do. A piece of your inner child, I resonate with that and I think a lot of people do. You find or you read about or you hear about more and more people doing inner child work and reconnecting. But it's also not feeling sorry about yourself. I have to say that. It's about understanding the circumstances and the situations, whether or not you have had trauma with your parents, and understanding maybe where they came from, and not putting the blame on everything and just I don't know, just looking at it from a different lens. Oh, absolutely.

Dolores: 34:34

And you know, rose, that's where, like, the ancestral stuff comes in as well. Because you know, I feel too. You know, circling back to you know what it was like being a child, you feeling like you're the odd duck out. Yeah, those of us who feel like we're the odd duck out or the black sheep of the family, we are actually strategically placed into our family groups, family soul groups, and I'll tell you why because you are the one that is there to heal the ancestral lineage. It stops with you.

Dolores: 35:06

So it's not for the meek of heart. You have a very big job to do, it's an important job and I witnessed this, you know, in many people, especially many people in our tribe that are, you know, awake and also on this path that we're on. You know we're either way showers, light workers, thank you way showers. You know we are here to increase the light potion of the earth and with that is that, you know this is where all the ancestral stuff comes into play. Where all the ancestral stuff comes into play because a lot of it.

Dolores: 35:51

You know, I used to say who made this rule, because it was just like it made no sense to me at all, but they're carrying it on, you know it's like yeah, and so you know the humor part of it is that I'm easily entertained because it's just like wow, this is really amazing that this was created. But there's so much in our world to witness and a lot of it. It's like a comedy show right now. So I just invite people to you know, not take life so seriously when you lose your sense of humor. Not take life so seriously when you lose your sense of humor, folks, it's over.

Dolores: 36:31

Oh my God, yes, oh my God. It's just like, please, you know, just lighten up, it's not a joke, lighten up, it is kind of funny.

Rose: 36:42

Yeah, so I stopped being so everyone is so serious. I mean, I know that there's things that are happening in the world. You know, trust me because I feel it, not only I see it, but I feel it. But we have to have some levity because, you know, just talking, bringing that balance back. You know you can't have too much of one thing, you need to have something of the other, that yin and yang. You have to laugh, you have to have levity, you have to smile, you have to feel good. You can't always be fearful or sad. You know there's a so many, so many ways we can bring back that balance.

Rose: 37:14

This is a wonderful conversation. You have your own podcast, the Dr Delora Show, which I want to go back and listen to your podcast episodes. But the last one you did, the one more recent to where we're recording. Now you talk about and this is a huge topic for me that I love talking about embracing new beginnings, embracing change, evolving, growing, overcoming fear, all those things. Now I wanted to. I want to talk about that as it pertains to women going through transitions in their life, maybe empty nesting or coming out of a marriage, whether they're widows or not, whatever, but embracing change, not being afraid of that. Can we talk about that?

Dolores: 37:57

Oh, absolutely, and you know, change is the constant. Okay, uncertainty is the new certainty, right, yes, okay, so the point is it's like we're constantly evolving and growing. Things are changing and evolving and grow and growing as well, and what I mean by this is that remember, with the conversation we had about energetic beings, we are all energetic beings. Where you were even a week ago is a different frequency than you are now. So, for an example, say, all of a sudden you are ending a relationship.

Dolores: 38:40

Okay, and maybe you had been married for a long time, but energetically it's a mismatch for you Because energetically you were a mismatch for you, because energetically you were at one place when this was created and now you're here, but the relationship hasn't mobilized to here. So it's not like you're a failure, it's about an energetic upgrade. Okay, because you are growing and evolving. So when things happen to people that we label, oh, that's the most worst thing ever and horrific, I just say, well, you know what. You're getting upgraded and you probably love that you are. You are getting upgraded Because the thing is is like, energetically, you're still trying to fit your energy, to fit into something that you've outgrown.

Dolores: 39:25

Yeah, You're still trying to fit your energy, to fit into something that you've outgrown, and just for relationships and things in life. Things are here for a reason, a season or a lifetime. You're here to learn what you need to learn from that situation and once the lesson is learned, it's time to move on to the next lesson. It's not like you're a bad person. You failed in the guilt or the shame or whatever. If those things come up, I invite you to dig a little deeper, because that's not your voice talking. That's something from another. You know your grandparents or you know society a long time ago. This is not who you are, so it's about really trusting your intuition. This is another thing that's really key. A lot of people have you know. They maybe have that intuitive knowledge or wisdom, but we've been told to dummy it down because this is not real. This out here is not for me. This is the real deal here, because you know what, if you look in our world right now and it's probably been this way probably since 2008, because before that financial crash in 2008, you could bet your paycheck that a, b and c would equal x, y and z all the time, every time, and then, once that happened, nothing has been certain at all. It's been chaotic. Um, everything's changing and evolving quickly, and that's the way it was kind of designed. So it was our first wake-up call that you need to start focusing on coming within yourself to create that certainty in an uncertain world. Okay, so how do you do that? You learn how to ground yourself so you become physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually in your physical body Okay, you're in your vessel.

Dolores: 41:23

One of the easiest ways to do that and I call it the gateway thing is doing a mindful activity. Okay, and let's talk about a mindful activity. We've all had those things that we have done, that we have lost all sense of time and place, where five hours turns into it feels like 10 minutes. That's a mindful activity. A mindful activity that allows you to lose all sense of time and place, and that could be the whole gamut, from sitting and reading a book to coloring a book. Coloring a book, doing creative stuff. It also could be going for a walk and being in nature. It is whatever you're leaning into. Trust your intuition on that, because it's going to be different for every person. Yes, it may be something highly athletic too. Whatever it is for you, do more of that, because that is what is going to keep you grounded in your body, so you could be in the present moment. When you're in the present moment, you're right here right now. When you're right here right now, this is where you get to hear the whispers of your soul telling you those intuitive hits Okay, or those ideas, and then you go into divine, doing so you're being, and then going into doing and then coming back to being.

Dolores: 42:46

Okay, we've been told that the external, and pushing a boulder up a hill and being in your head and trying to figure it out, is the way to go, and it's an abuse of power. It's controlling, it's stressful. When we have a lot of stress, you know, your immune system gets compromised. When your immune system gets compromised, you get sick. Okay, it's been lopsided. That's what happens. This is what we're witnessing in our society. So it's about coming back to self, creating a relationship with yourself so you become your own best friend, learning how to spend time by yourself. That scares the bejeebers out of a lot of people, yeah, but we used to do it as children.

Dolores: 43:26

that scares the bejeebers out of a lot of people, yeah, but we used to do it as children. Well, the other thing too I think covid taught us a big lesson with that too, because you know, we I talk about the doing mobile. You know we're talking about the do do, do, do, do. So the doing mobile was constantly in motion and I think a lot of people knew that they needed to stop, but they couldn't get off, they couldn't get off the ride, and then COVID hit and then the ride stopped for at least two weeks. These people were scrambling because they weren't familiar with what not being in motion was all about. And you know, I saw it was very telling about, you know, a lot of people, because those who you know were OK with being by themselves, did OK, but those that this was a new concept, they just it was. It was frightening for them because they just didn't know what was going to happen and they would distract themselves from being by themselves distract themselves from being by themselves.

Rose: 44:28

Yeah, yeah, I almost missed that. I used to go out in my backyard in the summer and sit there in the back by myself with communing with the birds and writing, and it was so. It was like heaven, you know, I was because I was, you know, in a way you were forced to be at home yes, right, and and find things to do, and it was. It was really transformative, I think, for me. I was able to connect with a lot of pieces of myself that I needed to work on and you know what.

Dolores: 44:57

You were awake enough to know that. So I believe these events that happen in our world are opportunities for people to awaken. Yeah, because I didn't feel I needed to show up for anybody else except myself.

Rose: 45:07

Believe, these events that happen in our world are opportunities for people to awaken. Yeah, but because I didn't feel I needed to show up for anybody else except myself, or to, or to entertain, or to do, or to you know to be. I mean, people did work and all that stuff, but it did create a huge shift in the way we we are with ourselves.

Rose: 45:24

That's absolutely true yeah, and when um, in a part of that change, is also allowing for that curiosity, right To help us, um, because change can be scary, right. So so you know, going back to women and going through change and you know, relationship change, but also trying things that are new, exploring, not being afraid of stepping out of our comfort zone, because we're always put in that little box that says, ok, well, you're just supposed to do this, this and this.

Dolores: 45:55

And I always say who made that rule up?

Rose: 45:57

Yeah, who made that rule up? We're going to have a T-shirt for that. Who made that rule?

Dolores: 46:03

up. Well, you know, I know that would be a good one. I also feel too that, you know, when stuff like that happens and we're able to move forward, it's like embrace, you know that fear with, call it excitement, Right, and adventure, because it really is. You know, it's like going on to okay. You know, a lot of times when I'm in the hospital and stuff like that, it's just like, oh, you know cause I go from different place to different place when I assist in surgery and I said, oh, onto the next adventure.

Rose: 46:40

Well, it is an adventure I can't imagine.

Dolores: 46:43

I could just never know what's going to happen and you know, silly me for thinking that it's going to turn out a certain way. I've learned early on that it's just like I just need to get out of my own way and just allow things to unfold the way that they're supposed to. Now I don't know if you're aware of this too is that everything that we ever wanted for ourselves is in our energy field, okay, it's just vibrating at a different frequency than what we are currently vibrating at. So you know, maybe you want to be able to travel the world and that vibration is up here and you're here.

Dolores: 47:18

So what's you know is necessary is what can I do to raise my frequency to match those frequencies? So it's about working on yourself, being mindful of what you say to yourself in the quiet of your mind. But also you know we. You know anything that's going to raise your frequency, like bring more joy to your life, more fun humor. You know walking down the street with a smile on your face, that's a big deal, you know, because you know people. You know when you smile and you know you look happy.

Dolores: 47:56

You're just like a magnet for other people they want to you know what I'm saying and it's just about, you know, having fun in life, because, yeah, you know there's some pretty crappy things happening and you know what. You just don't let that get to you.

Rose: 48:12

Yeah, no, I, I agree. I love what you said and you know I try to make it a habit of going out, and even at the grocery store or wherever I'm going, to smile at people and they smile back and it's such a beautiful thing. And they're not. And they smile back and it's such a beautiful thing, and they're not. They just smile. It's a, it's a lovely reaction and hopefully they may have been so distracted by something that was so sad or or whatever they were worried about.

Dolores: 48:36

Maybe that changed the frequency you, you have no idea what impact you have on other people. You really don't. You know, and and you do, you know it. You might have, just like you were saying, just change a person's life by, just, you know, smiling at them. It's that simple. Yeah, it doesn't take, you know, like this big whatever, it's that simple thing, yeah, and I always feel better too.

Rose: 49:06

I mean, I guess it's it takes it with practice. It's just something that I guess I've always been that way, but, but I just want to put it out there for anybody that's out there. Just go out there and smile with other people, see what happens.

Dolores: 49:20

You know. Well, you know, and I think, especially different parts of the country too, because I grew up in New England and I know what it's like. You know, and I think, especially different parts of the country too, because I grew up in New England and I know what it's like. You know, people are like in New Jersey as well, but you know hey that would probably shock the jeebers out of them, especially if you smile at them. They're like what's wrong?

Rose: 49:40

Yeah, what's going on? Yeah, but that's like you know, let's change the world. I know, do I look funny? But no, no. You know, let's change the world. I know, do I look funny? But no, no, you're just. I'm just smiling, I'm just happy, and I want to share that and extend that out to everyone. Talk about some of your offerings, or your offerings and how you help people. The floor is yours.

Dolores: 50:04

You know, thank you very much. I have a grounding meditation that's free on my website. It's like a pop up that when you go to my website, drdeloresfazino. com, sign up for it, because it's a grounding meditation that's going to allow you to be in the present moment, right here, right now, and it's very short, but it grounds you in multiple dimensions, which is always a good thing, and you'll feel the difference. Also, I have a program called I'm awake, now what? And it is a community program and there's a link for that too on the header of my website. Just click on that and you'll get more information. But what that is is I decided with a girlfriend of mine that you know we've both gone through our spiritual awakening and what it was like doing that you know, and how isolated and alone you felt, and so we decided to put together a community where we offer healing resources, tools and insight as to maybe what's up for people.

Dolores: 51:12

We have weekly Zoom call live. That's recorded and that's pretty much it, because you know nobody should have to go through what a spiritual awakening can and is. I mean, sometimes it's just like it's frightening, especially when you wake up one morning life had been working great the day before and you wake up and you're like what the hell's going on? I have no idea. Or maybe you lost the job. You're going through, you know, transitions in your life, whatever that is a health crisis, that's this is. This is the a community for you.

Rose: 51:48

Yeah, you need the support, Even though we are our own healers and I totally believe in that. It is nice to have others to share the journey, the ride, support you know how to guide you, all those things, because we shouldn't do it alone. It's really about building community and having that as we go through these things. Yeah Well, it's been amazing. Is there anything else you wanted to add at the end? No, that's it, but thank you for sharing your energy with me and with the audience here at Shadow of the Mat Dolores. It's been wonderful, thank you.
