Feeling weighed down by the week’s events? This episode explores how we can transform heaviness into personal growth and empowerment.

Kim and Jill dive deep into collective reflection following significant national tragedies, discussing how moments of darkness invite us to examine our reactions—fear, anger, or calm. They unpack the metaphor of “falling down like toy soldiers,” questioning societal expectations and embracing step-by-step transformation rather than sudden shifts. Through music, memories, and nature’s wisdom, they encourage listeners to reconnect with their inner voice.

Key takeaways:
• Reflection on tragedy can lead to unity or division—our response matters.
• Awakening from autopilot living empowers authentic choices.
• Embracing gradual change helps integrate new perspectives without overwhelm.

Tune in for heartfelt insights that will inspire you to claim your power and move forward with intention.

Hello, lovely listeners, and good morning, Kim. Good morning, Jill. Good morning, everyone. It's one Harmonic whole back at it again. Yeah, got your daily message for you. Yep, this one. It's been an interesting week here in the United States. Very interesting week with a lot of. It can be perceived as darkness. That's very good word.

We went. We had 911 yesterday, so a lot of people were feeling still the heaviness of that experience from what, 24 years ago? Yeah, so people are still feeling that. And then we had some couple other major events that happened on Wednesday. So it's just been. Been a very interesting week.

And I hear the word reflection, like reflecting. How are you perceiving this type of stuff? Are you going into fear? Are you going into anger? Are you going into frustration? Or are you really taking the time to utilize those practices of keeping yourself calm, balanced? Right.

I know someone who did some reflection on it, and it was interesting to me because she was quite young when 911 occurred. And her reflection was that that was the last time people came together in the United States. And that in her reflection, that's the degree of divisiveness that we have now. Where some of the other events, like you said that happened this week, Kim, were quite tragic event.

And we actually have a world where people celebrate tragic events, which is very much the opposite of what happened in the United States around 9 11. Parts of the rest of parts of the world did celebrate that event. As you know, sounds harsh, but they did. And here no one did in North America, really, no one did.

And here we are 24 years later with some intensive things happening and. And people celebrating. And I just found it really deeply touching that this person, like I said, who was quite young when this all occurred, was reflecting and seeing this. And I was like, if she can see this, lots of people can see this because she was so young when that occurred.

Do you see what I mean? Like, you know, and I'm going, okay, some of these people that don't even remember it or weren't there or whatever, you don't even have to know it or see it or remember it to reflect on some of these things and pick up some messages that we're really being called to look at, being asked, what are we looking at?

That's what I heard you saying, Kim, like, what are you choosing to look at here? And in her reflection, I was deeply touched by what she chose to look at.

Yeah, I gotta go back to the song. Prior to Jill and I starting, there was a song that popped up in My head. And I was trying to see if it just kind of almost go away as we're talking. And now it just like really came back nice and loud.

So this song has some correlation to what people are going through right now with, say, the tragedies that are going around, the reflections that are happening right now.

There's just a lot of what I call energy movement. Okay. I'm not going good nor bad. Just saying movement of thoughts, movement of energy.

Movement of what we're expressing out and what we're pulling in. Lots and lots of movement of energy.

And this song is an older song. What was it, 1988? Boy soldiers. And I haven't heard that song yet.

Oh, my. I don't remember the last time I actually heard it. It was probably like 1988. Yeah, exactly.

Holy cow. We're dating ourselves here. It's a while ago.

But crazy that that song came up today.

And it's like we're all falling down like toy soldiers.

So what we're getting is there's... You can literally walk around like a toy soldier.

You can literally be played like a puppet.

You can literally follow exactly what you're supposed to be doing or what—I'm going to put quote—supposed to be doing by what our standards say or what we've been told,

what we've been taught you have to do,

what educational system...

Oh,

you're really good at math,

you need to be a mathematician.

You're really good at nursing,

you need to be a nurse.

You know,

and it's like people are awakening to the possibilities of,

like,

that following,

say,

the yellow brick road.

You're falling down,

you're falling...

You're like...

The toy soldier piece is like you're falling down,

but you're waking up to a different experience,

a different reflection,

a different thought,

different patterns.

Yeah.

The falling down isn't always fun.

It's not always enjoyable because it's shift.

It's change,

you know,

it's new.

We just...

We tend to balk at those things because we find comfort in what's familiar,

even if what's familiar isn't good for us.

That's where the fallen down...

I love the visual,

the metaphor,

Kim,

of the toy soldiers because those that...

If you're,

you know,

in a place in your life where you're a toy soldier or a puppet,

in a way,

the falling down is a really huge opportunity to regroup and find that yellow brick roll.

Yep.

You know,

it probably won't feel like it.

Maybe all the stuff that's going on...

you know,

initially won't,

but in time here,

step by step,

step by step,

you'll find your way back.

And to me that's really the big overarching message here is—you know—we're finding our way back within ourselves.

That when I watch something happening,
I don't lose being in touch with what's inside of me.
I can still see it,
I'm not in denial about it,
but it doesn't sweep me away.
It doesn't have a puppeting effect.
You know,
it doesn't turn me into a toy soldier.
I still stay with it,
I still determine and decide if and when something happens with that.
And it's not about being like overly controlling.
It's about being empowered with your own innerness.
That's what I'll call it.
Yep,
yep,
yep.
You can hear.
It's like people's hearing of themselves hearing their own true voice is getting louder inside.
Yes,
it is.
It is a step by step.
The more you practice,
it changes.
Yeah.
Quite honestly,
the big,
the big huge moments.
The big huge,
you know,
like I shared with Kim before I got on the call,
you know,
the big dimensional shifts,
the jumping,
the matrix,
everything changing all at once.
A brand new life today.
Quite honestly,
those are fall down moments
and they usually scare the living crap out of us.
Yeah.
Yeah,
they're kind of cool,
they're kind of fun.
You can do something
like we're going to host a class here
in just a little over a week.
It'll be probably
a bigger shift than
the step by step simply because
of the intention,
the together,
the group,
you know,
those kinds of things.
But it won't be such a big shift
that it scares the shit out of us.
It's just
a bigger movement.
But we only want those two occasionally
because we need
the step by step,
the everyday
to integrate it,
to bring it in,
to feel okay with it,
to go,
oh,
I like this new thing.
That's just how wired.
Yep,
that's...
Why would you just look at nature?
Like certain birds from
the moment they hatch
to when they're pushed out of the nest—
some of them it's like 10 days,
21 days—
look how long it takes
to grow a human being and teach them.
Like it's a long step by step process
and it's nothing to be judged.
It's not like oh it's so long it's so hard;
it's just what it is.

Yeah.

It's funny—right before you said nature—I was in my head: Why am I out in the woods?

I love it.

That would be really interesting too

to hear if anybody actually can kind

of pick up an area—a direction—that we're going

to prior to us saying—

like are you getting visions in your head?

Are you getting a thought?

And then all

of a sudden we say it—like if

that happens to you—

like oh my gosh

yeah

you were in it.

So thank you.

Thank you for being present.

Yeah,

you are definitely in it.

Cool.

Okay,

sorry,

off track there,

but super cool.

No,

not at all.

It's cool.

It's just where this one has gone.

We really tried with this one beforehand,

we were like,

all right,

let's wrap

this up into

a real nice,

sweet message.

And we're like,

ah,

we just got

to go with

it.

And here

it.

Thank you for riding along with us.

Yes.

Thank you,

Jill.

Thank you,

everyone.

All right,

well,

it's a Friday,

too,

so this carries into

the weekend.

And just remember—even

that fallen down moments—we're being called

to something within us that's really powerful.

Claim it for yourself.

That would be my closing suggestion.

Claim that power for yourself.

Claim—I claim it.

Cool.

I like this.

I got chills.

All right,

thank you Kim.

Thank you.
