An intended intention

My intention behind why I started the podcast Everyday Alchemy

Hey guys,

First off, let me introduce myself- my name is Terri, and if you’re into astrology I was born on the cusp of Aquarius and Pisces, and I’m an Aries rising. If you’re into Human Design I’m a Manifester Generator with a 3/6 profile. I am originally from Australia, but I live in the beautiful Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, in a wee little resort town called Whistler. I first moved to Whistler in 2008, and since then it has been one crazy rollercoaster journey of self discovery and awakening to the magic and abundance this universe has to offer.

I just want to confess, never ever… ever in my life did I think I would be hosting a Podcast series! Kid you not, ask me 4 months ago and I didn’t even know then that I would be buying microphone’s, or that I’d be googling ‘how to get over cringing at hearing the sound of your own voice’!

But here I am, starting a podcast in where I share my stories and adventure’s that the universe and spirit has sent me on over the years, and the incredible lessons, connections and growth that has always come from them. I will also share my processes and tool’s that I have found to be life changing. From discovering the missing key elements behind the law of attraction to learning to talk to my spirit guides.

I also will be chatting to my friends and member’s of my community on the show, where they too get to share their stories and tool’s that have helped them to expand their consciousness and helped them to spiritually evolve and live their most authentic lives. Whistler truly is a special place, with some pretty amazing people from all around the world. But they are just everyday people too like you, and together, by sharing our stories, my intention is to normalize this world that has previously been more hidden and help to encourage you on your journey too. 

You know, in the more recent years it’s been really cool to see a lot of this awareness and knowledge being shared, thanks to the ease of technology and how much more connected we are than ever. And I just want to say, there’s no right or wrong way in diving into this work.

But I’ve gotta’ say, I’ve seen so many different teachers out there painting their message or tools as ‘THE’ way or ‘THIS IS IT! THIS PRACTICE WILL WORK FOR YOU!’. Sometimes, the way esoteric knowledge is conveyed can also feel overwhelming or maybe sound a bit crazy, it can turn a lot of people off in doing the work! I remember it did for me, years ago when I first started hearing concepts like “we’re all ascending to the 5th dimension!” or “You must have an Ego death Terri!” I would think ‘well what the F does that mean?!”. Or if the catch was I had to rely on the teacher in anyway, for instance to ‘activate me’ or if it was required for me to continuously have to see them and pay for their services in order for me to spiritually grow then I would question the teacher’s credibility. I would get really turned off and have a sense of panic or anxiety about this work.

But I want to stress to you guys that there is absolutely nothing to be worried or afraid of- and don’t worry we are not all going to be teleported to another dimension! The truth is, we are here on 3D Earth, we are not going anywhere, we are still going to have our challenges and ups and downs. But we are being reminded that absolutely all of us have access to 5th Dimensional concepts and abilities! Woot! And remember, absolutely no one can do the work for you, it is up to you to empower yourself.

I just really want to stress that we are all so unique and different, and its important to know that there isn't just one way of doing things. So please don’t feel bad if you’ve tried things or dabbled in things and you haven’t quite gotten the results that other people have. Only as we are all different, and your process or the way you do things will just be different than others- and that’s ok! 

There are so many different teachers and leaders out there, and they too all have their own unique way of sharing their message as that is probably what worked for them. And their way of sharing the information will be perfect for some people, and not so perfect for others- and that’s exactly how its supposed to be.

So, naturally, we need different perspectives.. I want to stress that its ok if perhaps certain styles of relaying information doesn't resonate with you. To just take what does resonate, and leave whatever doesn’t. Everything relayed in this podcast is just a perspective, and I encourage you to use your own discernment to what feels true for you.

Now, I love hearing from experts. They have so much powerful information to teach and share with us, but sometimes- as they have so much knowledge and practice or expertise in their field, I can find it hard to relate to them or implement the tools that they have been using for many many years. And so, my hopes are that in hearing the different stories and information from all sorts of people on this podcast, that you can get a sense of how other everyday people have been doing the work and have achieved success or their desired results.

 For me I just want to be authentic with you guys, and share my journey. I also want to bring some fun and playfulness, as I like to remind people (and myself.. a lot!)  that not everything is always so serious or complicated as our mind or ego makes things out to be! Even in looking back to some of my darkest times, I now also see the light side of that time too- and that’s the beauty of when you move through that darkness, you then have an awareness or perspective that’s removed from that time and you can see the positives or light that was actually there all along.

So anyways, I just wanted to share that nugget of intention with you guys as I cant stress enough the importance of using your own discernment when it comes to learning any new information, and that there is no right or wrong way of doing anything- the important thing is to listen to yourself and to listen what you like or need.

Terri :)
