Hello, lovely listeners and good morning, Kim. Good morning, Jill. Good morning, everyone. It's a Friday.

It is. It's a Friday. Or else we're going into a weekend. And we are trying to make some really fun message for today. And a lot of you are feeling a little too much for us to make this a little fun even. We were just like, hey, it doesn't even have to be that fun. How about it's just a little bit more in the lighter edge of all that.

It's like as we were talking, it just got deeper and deeper. It was like, let's talk about anxiety and histamines and what's bugging you. And I mean deeply bugging you. Yeah. And then we're throwing a full moon on top of that. Wow.

The intensity right now that I'm feeling when tuning into the energy, all of your. Everybody who's listening and then. And then some. It's like what came up when we're talking was if you get stung by a mosquito and say years ago, it'll be like, oh, I got stung. Maybe you didn't realize you were getting bit and you're like, oh, you kind of slap it, whatever. You get a little, little red bump, itches maybe a little bit. Nothing crazy.

Now it's like you could feel it biting you. Either you get big welts. The things just itch like crazy. Like, it's insane. The intensity of these, like, mosquito bites.

That is a histamine response in the system. And a lot of what we're talking about came back to just a histamine response reaction in your system, but also kind of an over the top doesn't match. You know, like the histamine response isn't matching or the bite feeling isn't matching.

You know, it's a mosquito. And it's like I actually had one bite me yesterday where it didn't match. I could feel the bite of the mosquito, like, literally throughout my whole body. And I was like, what the.

And it was a little mosquito, Kim. And even when I brushed it off of me, I was like, what was that? And it's just.

There is the mental piece that is coming in here that's actually creating more of a response than it is a true straight up physical.

Mm.

So mentally we are, like, constructing anxiety over this stuff.

We.

Everything's on heightened awareness.

Like the people around us, the reaction to what they say we wanna put in our input.

Like, all the things we've been talking about this week is literally enhanced today.

And what are you gonna do with that?

Yeah, I wanted to say enhanced, and perhaps not in the best way.

Right.

But it's helpful because let's say, you know, I think a lot of this is happening with a lot of us. We're not.

We weren't conscious, we weren't noticing these things, and now we are.

So let's say today I notice that I'm really building up a lot of anxiety in myself over something that's pretty small, which I do that mentally.

I look at it, something I need to do.

Okay, I'm gonna give a concrete example.

Yesterday I got bit when I.

By that mosquito when I was weeding a garden,

and I looked at that garden and I was like,

oh my God,

this is going to be so much work.

It's going to take so much time.

And I was building up the angst,

the anxiety,

all of that,

and I stopped myself.

Just stop.

Just do this one part and then do this next part.

And that's what I think is going to have to happen today.

Is that kind of interrupting that enhancement a little bit?

If that makes some sense

of enhancing it does.

Does it make sense?

I.

In my mind,

it totally makes sense,

because if you're caught up in your

And your mind is

What do you want to call just going and going and going and going?

You're not in your body.

You're not in your present moment.

So it's like you're

I don't want to use the word disconnecting,

but you're kind of like disconnecting from your physical body when you're in your mental body,

when you're in your mind.

And so when those physical things come up,

you come back and you're like,

whoa,

where'd you come from?

Oh my God.

And you're like,

whoa.

React.

Okay.

That is very very cool Kim

That is actually the purpose of the enhancement is what you just described

When we're having these enhanced,

like intensive experiences,

it's so we can notice

Holy crap

I just basically went all into my mind,

and now that I came back,

or like,

when the mosquito was biting me,

I must have gone all into my body

Yep

And it's now

There's nothing wrong with it

When we know we're doing it actually becomes kind of like a game and playful then

But when we don't know we're doing it stuff can happen that we didn't intend

Yep

And then you

You take that bite or you take that response,

and then in your mind,

you get frustrated with it

That's when all the histamine in Your physical body just jumps right up

So then we have like the allergy symptoms or we have the

like more issues I'm not even going to go into all of them

Yeah basically you have more of a response when you now throw in all the mental

When you go back into the mental body and you're trying to figure things out and you're like why did I get bit like this why am I reacting instead of being like oh I got bit put a little lavender oil on it whatever or this is funny All of a sudden I heard let your dog lick it whoever has dog I guess Yep let them Let them bite Just go on Don't make it We're not supposed to make big deal out of this stuff Oh And 

I just like oh my heart's just cracking open for everyone because we were so taught to make such big deal out of so many things and to keep track of them and to store them and to do this and then do this and then do it this way and then do it this way and remember that you need to do it this way And can you just feel the anxiety building It just keeps going 

And that ultimately is to me what we're being asked to let go of is that habit that we were trained into holding on to all these things Like you said Kim you're bit by mosquito you dealt with it We now let it go Yep Not future frustration Not bitching there's mosquitoes have come out now And You know what i mean Not all other stuff Not trying tell someone who loves mosquitoes mosquitoes are worst thing don't even know why they're on earth Yep 

I think we're really close to What do i want say Some really incredible newness coming forward out this intensity Like We're It's marathon Like what mile where people hit wall Is 20 24th I'm not sure But hit wall runners aren't sure they can finish 26 mile marathon If can make through wall that's biggest one biggest things about marathon If can learn make through wall can run marathon And think we're like This week was kind wall Yeah pretty intense still little bit but We're moving past Yeah You are Everyone This good This good stuff It Is Yeah Have no words Yeah Blank blank All right Had one last closing thought about It Is Like If want do any simple little practice throughout weekend Deal with mosquito bite Then drop If comes up head or comes back And mosquito bite's really example But comes back later tell yourself drop You start having reaction drop You know So again another more Little bit concrete thing If Kim & i had little exchange didn't go very smooth You know let dog lick It Be done You know What tend Do later pops head ra ra ra ra Get frustrated Start histamine process store body Stop You're gonna You're gonna notice coming back Just say done done Yes Thank Jill That's beautiful Exactly what people need Well Thank Kim Yeah Here's Energy continuing lighten becoming much harmonious Yeah finally got calm all over body Thank Good All right Thank much everyone listening Enjoy weekend Until next time
