Put A Quarter In It Podcast
We will be discussing all things in the world of energy healing. All the healers, the initiatives, the seers, the readers, the channelers, the ministers, the crystal workers, the empaths, the physicists, the teachers, the authors, the visionaries, the sages and of course the prophets, that converge in this glorious world of subtle energy exploration is extraordinary. The inspiration for this podcast comes from years of listening to the brilliance of my friends, Dr. Sara Allen and Debra Hurt.
The name comes from a student who was in a class that Debra and Sara were teaching. She said she loved asking a question and getting a really juicy, in depth, OVER answers to her questions. Debra and Sara really do over answer every question. This student proclaimed that she was going to bring a roll of quarters and keep feeding the juke-box to hear all the hits...she was gonna “put a quarter in it and just sit back and listen”. We thought that was really funny and it has stuck.

Human nature wants to help. When we are reacting from our forebrain, helping is out is a natural response. Today we are continuing our conversation about coherence. And even though awful things are happening, they aren't the only things happening. It's good to remember the Buddhist Parable - don't be the 84th problem! We're also going to learn a simple nose breath to help regulate ourselves.

Human nature wants to help. When we are reacting from our forebrain, helping is our natural response. Today on Put a Quarter in It, our continuing conversation about coherence. And even though awful things are happening, they aren't the only things happening. It's good to remember the Buddhist parable, don't be the 84th problem. We're also going to learn a simple nose breath to help us regulate and maybe get back to forebrain. Let's hear what Sarah and Deborah have to say.
SPEAKER_00I think too, this might be a good time to bring up the prejudicial way that the media directs our attention.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_00That it's constantly directing us with repetition toward these events over and over and over and over again, to the absolute exclusion of all the unbelievably creative, kind, compassionate ways that people are meeting needs that arise out of these situations and are and are really creating benefit and community and health. But from they're doing it from the forebrain.
SPEAKER_02Marianne Williamson t tells a story of being on a plane. This is about a year ago I heard her tell this story about human nature. She was just referencing human nature. And of course, it's it's really overwhelming now to think about humans and all the things we're doing to each other. And she said she was on a plane and there was some kind of terrible turbulence. And the cabin up front that holds the flight attendants' cups and coffee cups and all that kind of stuff flipped open and everything spilled into the and rolled, you know, all the way through. And she said all she watched, she just watched humans just pick stuff up and then help. Just pick stuff up and help. Pick stuff up and help. All she just saw their little arms picking stuff up and helping. So I, you know, so I'm thinking about that and the this idea that people do run towards people. I mean, in a good way.
SPEAKER_03Absolutely. You know, we experienced that during Hallen. We did.
SPEAKER_02We did. And we absolutely experienced it during a Hallen. And I experienced it, I had a really interesting moment this fall when SNAP benefits got in in Asheville. So there's a little community, unbelievably beautiful community in Asheville, North Carolina, called Beloved Asheville or Beloved Asheville. And they just are just this earth-giving food, absolutely meet, meet needs. Just don't charge anybody. They're just amazing. So when the snap benefit thing went, people were wanting to do something, right? Constantly. So you had all these people, but no organization. And so what beloved Asheville and the libraries did was if you had food, like canned food, you could drop it off at the library on the front door of the library, and then there was a person that would come at nine o'clock, noon, and three o'clock and take it to beloved Asheville. And I did like the three o'clock runs for five days. That formed within 24 hours. As far as I know, not a single person that had SNAP benefits in Asheville went hungry.
SPEAKER_00Excellent.
SPEAKER_02So that just and that was just a couple texts that was 24 hours, that was open hearts. That was forebrain. Four brain facilitated it, and you don't even hear anything about it. And that's just, they just kind of came and went. And that's that's really how it works. I mean, I just really think that's how it works. So finding that and creating that, and and so one of the things in the Good Force, when we start to talk about how you do this, so I have a quote here if the heart can synchronize with broader energetic fields, it raises the possibility that collective human emotions and intentions could influence broader social and cosmic systems. That was that moment. Yeah. So all those little I don't know who those people were. All I did was just drop off a box of canned goods or breads or something, you know. So yeah, that's that kind of synchronization.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02That's a natural rhythm between humans. I'm sure there's something about heart variable heart variability. Yeah, and that kind of thing about getting that getting that in sync. I'm sure there's something about that.
SPEAKER_03Well, those Buddhists they talk about basic goodness.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03It's all that same thing, that innocence.
SPEAKER_02So heart one and heart two, basic goodness would be heart one and heart two. Yeah, but it just gets crowded over with plaque. And we have to brush, we have to brush our heart one and heart two every day, their little teeth.
SPEAKER_00With a wire brush sometimes.
SPEAKER_02You know, that coherent heart wave. There's a very interesting study. I mean, there's, you know, Greg Braden's so genius, such a genius with the heart math and all that heart stuff. But there's a lot of research that talks about neuronal activity in the heart, you know, how the heart thinks. Oh, yeah. And lots and lots and lots. You know, and we're preaching to the Guire, everybody here knows that. But what's really interesting about that, when you see the heart itself, there was a picture that I I I can't remember the year. It's just been a couple years. 2020, May 26, 2020, Thomas Jefferson University research team published the very first 3D map of the neurons of the heart. And what's interesting is they're all up by the valves. All the neuronal activity is right by the valves in the top of the heart. So, right where all that squeezing, the red and the blue blood mix, you know, the yin and the yang come in, the positive and negative charge come in. Yeah, so that's synchronization that happens. And so all those little all that synchronization. So that coherent wave in the heart. I don't know what I would say more about that, but syncing that up.
SPEAKER_00Well, and that what that story you just told about beloved Asheville, that's a heart to sink, yeah. That's an example of that synthesis. I didn't know the synchronization neuronal activity.
SPEAKER_02No, never don't know anybody's name in that project. I mean, one text person, you know, but that was all that was all that was a sinking of a heart and that neuronal activity. Well, I'm feeling a little better. Good. I'm still rubbing my spleen 21s and my heart ones and my heart twos. I think that's just a good practice. I just think that's a good practice generally, too. I do, I do, I do.
SPEAKER_03I have to say, so I I've heard you say about that we're supposed to be in this place, everything is happening for a reason, we're going into this new age. And I keep, you know, I have so many of your uh your voices in my head, Sarah. I'm so sorry. Sorry, repeating things, you know. Don't whip the don't whip the tired horse has been the one that's been running through lately. But oh man. But but I I keep hearing you say, everything's gonna be okay. Everything's gonna be okay. And I just I'm holding on to that, even then if it's hard. So now what I'm gonna do is I'm as I'm hearing you say that, I'm gonna start rubbing these points to keep myself on my island. Right.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, right. Exactly. Because if you go off your island, nobody can go there with you. Yes.
SPEAKER_00That's right. De plain, de plain. And it doesn't mean that awful things aren't still happening. But they're not the only thing happening.
SPEAKER_02They're not the only thing that's happening. And I do not, if I widen my gaze, I don't have to put my head in the sand. Exactly. Because I can see the big picture, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And then I can react appropriately. And so there's this ching thing. So the master gets really impatient with one of his students complaining. So complain about this, complain about life. This is awful. What do I do here, master? No, no, no, no, no, no, whatever. So he gives his student a glass of water and a cup of salt, and he puts the salt in the glass of water and says, drink it. And so the student drinks it and he says, How's it taste? And he says, awful or bitter or terrible. So he takes the same amount of salt and he puts it in the lake and stirs it and says, Okay, drink a glass of water out of the lake. And the student says, I can't taste the salt. He says, Exactly. So the principle is some people feel like a shit magnet, you know, like they've got more to carry than anybody else. But when you understand you create your own shit.
SPEAKER_03Or you keep picking the bag of shit up.
SPEAKER_02You keep that's right. Keep picking the bags of shit up, like in our Carmen Dharma discussion on how to stop to do that. So that whole widen the gaze, you know, it's it's this, everybody gets the same amount of salt. It's the 86th pro it's the 84th. 84th problem. I love that story. And I don't think I've told that. I'll tell that. Okay. That's a great story. I'm telling it to myself. Can you get I'm so glad we had this scheduled today because I needed the therapy.
SPEAKER_03That'll be $75.
SPEAKER_02So the 84th. The 84th problem, the parable of the 84th problem. So the man, um, so the people are traveling to the Buddha to seek the wise advice of the Buddha, and one man travels a great distance, and he gets his he gets this moment at the feet of the Buddha, and he tells the Buddha all his problems. He says, You know, my children don't respect me, my wife doesn't love me, my cows are dying, farming's bad. It's telling the Buddha all his problems. And so the Buddha looks at him and says, I'm very, very sorry. I cannot help you. And the man's horrified, like, why can't I travel this great distance? You're answering, you know, all these other people are getting their, you know, you're helping all these other people, why can't you help me? He says, Well, you have 84 problems. And the man says, What? Because in that, in that perspective, everybody's only given 83. You always have 83. You'll solve something and then another one will rise. You'll solve that one, so it's whack-amo with 83 problems, but you only have 83 problems. So the man looks at him and he says, Well, Buddha, what's the 84th problem? And he says, You don't think you should have problems. That's the 84th problem. So for me to ever, and I get into this space thinking sometimes that I have I have that 84th problem. Like I should be able to resolve all that, you know. So, yeah, so to see that that you're just gonna have 83 problems. Yeah. And I can name a few of them right in this room. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Shoes are too tight.
SPEAKER_03Oh gosh, I thought it was. I thought you were gonna say Deborah and I.
SPEAKER_01No. Oh yeah, oh yeah, you guys are full of problems. You'll uh there's a lot of trouble in this room, let me just say that. A lot of trouble. A lot of trouble in this room for sure.
SPEAKER_02For sure, for sure. Well, one of the other things I'm reminded of when it's very, very, very, very easy is the nose breath. So let me explain to you about the breath. It's just such an easy way to reset. It is. So your left nostril is your yin nostril, and your right nostril is your yang nostril. So one of the cool little things about understanding your yin and yang nostril, the left nostril because it's yin is a cooling action, and the right nostril because it's yang has a warming action. So if you're really chilled, you can close your left nostril and breathe through your right nostril only and warm your body. If you're overheat it, you can close your right nostril and breathe only through your left nostril and cool down. But there's a way to energy test to see if I am way too yang or if I have my head in the sand and way too yin. And they're and they're both painful. You know, I get out there and get activists and push back and everything, that's painful.
SPEAKER_00I think the tests are thank you for clarifying, Deborah. The tests are not painful. Just want to be clear about that.
SPEAKER_02But the yin, what Jill's saying is I feel terrible when I don't look. You know, I can't, I have I have to be able to look and be strong, right? So one of the ways to do that, you can use any kind of self-test. But if I'm really, really afraid and I can't decide if I'm yin or yanged, if I'm yanged out, I will be really weak when I breathe through my right nose. So I'll close my left nostril and test myself and take a breath through my right nose. If I got way too much yang in my body, I'm gonna go out and hit somebody with a stick up with a metal butt stick.
SPEAKER_01With a metal butt stick.
SPEAKER_00Available wherever metals are sold.
SPEAKER_02What I will do is I will close my right nostril and cool things down and breathe through the left. If I am in a field position, because the world has heard has gone to hell this weekend with just terrible stories, yeah. I will close my left nostril and breathe through my right nostril and expand my view, right? So the breath, I mean, for those of you who do breath work, you know there's so many zillions of things, but that is a really simple thing to help yourself. So if you're out there and you want to strangle somebody, close your right nostril, take a few left nostril breaths. If you can't get out of bed, because the world is the accumulation of awfulnesses that landed on your chest, close your right, close your right nostril, uh, close your left nostril and breathe through the right and expand. Did I say that right? Did I say that correct?
SPEAKER_00Breathe through the right and expand through the right. Yeah, I did it right. Okay, yeah. Yeah. And it also changes your your blood chemistry. It does change your blood chemistry. Because it brings up certain um certain minerals and brings down certain.
SPEAKER_02Absolutely. It's amazing how it mineralizes you. Yeah, the breath. Um plus the other thing about the air, we have to really understand that the air is Wi-Fi. So it's literally Wi-Fi. Literally, the aura is Wi-Fi, and it's full of things. So what happens is I think when you balance, when you start to breathe in through the left nostril, you are literally breathing in the cooling, calming things that are actually exist in the air with the awful things, but they they're predominant. That's what I can't get over, how predominant goodness is. So this idea of just cooling that off. And so I would imagine if I'm breathing through my right nostril because I can't get out of bed, what I'm gonna do is what's happening is I'm probably picking up on all those heart one, heart twos out there that are looking for me, you know, that day. So what what we seek is seeking us. Yeah. Yeah. So there's the hold your nose and then the naughty sutra, you know, you you guys all know all that kind of stuff, but but that left and right nostril can be really balancing quickly, like within 30 seconds. Yeah, yeah. Very quickly. I can get, I can get I can get something in forebrain start to jiggle. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Someone tell a joke, Kristen.
SPEAKER_02The uh I'm just reading, I'm trying to read why I wrote this because it's really good, but I don't know what it has to do with anything. Like that's like that's like that's ever ever made any difference to us. But anyway. Yeah, right. So why would I have put this by this? Okay, orienting response. It's called the or or oriented response. Though unconscious mechanisms that seem to stem from our animal heritage, we know we know where to look for what we need. Oh, I'm remembering this now. It's called the orienting response.
SPEAKER_00Wow, they named it after what it does. What a great idea. We should do more of that.
SPEAKER_02So this reflex, let me go on. This reflex, this is called this reaction reflex is called orienting response, and it always involves scanning for danger as well as for safety. It is actually a reflex designed to help us locate the safety of shelter or the presence of food. It's a tribal weaver. It's a tribal weaver, yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So the tribal weaver points. The tribal weaver points are small and 11, small intestine 11, triple warmer seven, and meng meng.
SPEAKER_00Ming meng.
SPEAKER_02Creates a diamond pattern and goes up to the head. Yeah. Got letter 20. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for the therapy, you guys. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Anytime. I think I'm pretty close to cooked. How are you doing?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I'm filled. Let's see. I'm just gonna see. Oh, there's something I said. There's something. Okay, well, maybe I'll just so this is this this is still in the oh, we're in the weave. So I'm in the aura. Change your weave, change your life. Change your weave, change your world. Change your world. When we are integrated around the negative selves, those unfinished traumas, we build our daily living around. We will build a life around an unresolved wounding like a rock in a fast-moving river. We misintegrate. We form a pattern, a personality, a personhood around unresolved wounds. And these unresolved wounds separate the whole cells from resolution. The unresolved wounds become heavy baggage that when they are that we are then destined to carry. The bags of shit. They are dead weight. When we resolve these parts of us, they begin to animate. They whirl, they get colorful and light up. They begin to carry their own weight and contribute to the whole. They become jewels that sparkle in our aura like metals on a soldier's chest. They become the fertile ground for growing our next self. They become the diamonds on the soles of our shoes. Do you know who said that?
SPEAKER_00You did.
SPEAKER_02I did.
SPEAKER_00Sarah Allen.
SPEAKER_03Dr. Sarah Allen.
SPEAKER_00So what was I going to say about that? Was something go? Oh. So one of the ways that we can get tripped up in our movement of attention, of changing a view, is if we allow ourselves to get triggered. When when we see when we see bad things in the in the world, it can be easy to get our own unmetabolized traumas triggered. And we will go after that like a bulldog.
SPEAKER_02I do not want to misintegrate this time. Exactly. I want to integrate it correctly. Correctly. And I want to see these things as the potentials for a new emerging thing. Absolutely. That's what I want. And I don't want to integrate this time. I don't I don't want to misintegrate it. Right. Right. Yeah.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_00So it's really important when you get when one feels a strong reaction to something that they're observing, it's a great opportunity to look into, okay, so where is that unmetabolized trauma in me that is making me jump into the hole with them such ver a lot of people are doing.
SPEAKER_02And so that's yeah. The powerlessness, the the power gap. Yeah. You know, I you know, in some ways I've never felt my voice is smaller, but it but I'm yelling louder, you know, than I ever have before. That sensation, that's that's small childhood trauma, all that stuff. You know, that really is triggering to people. Goodness gracious.
SPEAKER_00So opportunities to heal. And and recognizing when that's happening and changing your view anyway. Right, exactly, exactly, exactly. Which is tricky because sometimes when those things get triggered, we go into our entitlements in the worst possible ways. And that will keep us stuck and it will keep the world stuck because it's just repetition.
SPEAKER_02And I'm thinking about Jesus in Gethsemane when he picked up that soldier's ear and put it back on.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And and and tried it. Peter, it was Peter that did that, right? Peter that, oh my goodness. It's like, did you learn nothing?
SPEAKER_00Been with me for three years. This is this is not how we do things, bud. Besides, you're gonna deny me three times before the rooster crows. So there.
SPEAKER_03As a non-religion person here, I have no idea what that story is.
SPEAKER_00That's okay. It's okay. It's a really interesting story. It's probably my favorite part of the New Testament. Yeah. Is the story of Gethsemane. Yeah. Yeah. And how Christ realigns his personal will with the will of his mandate. Because he knew it was coming. He knew it was coming. He couldn't possibly know what it was going to be like because it was, you know, he'd never been there before. He'd never been there before. It's like, yeah, please take this away. But it's part of my mandate. I know this has to happen, and it has to happen surrounded by a field of love, so we're going to make that happen.
SPEAKER_02So the story is Peter, who loved Christ, when they came to get him, grabbed a soldier's sword and was trying to defend Christ and sliced off a soldier's ear. And Christ in that moment picked up the ear and did a miracle and put the ear back on and chided Peter.
SPEAKER_01And so that's just one of these, you know, well, it's a Jesus moment because it was Jesus.
SPEAKER_02And a moment of no retribution. But that those moments where he was, he those the the Gethsemane was that's that's the famous line where do I have to take this cup from me?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Do I have to drink this? Do I have to drink from this cup? And of course the answer was, yeah, you do. So he's like, damn it.
SPEAKER_00Just thought I'd ask. Just in case things had changed. Maybe there's a plan B for me.
SPEAKER_01Always look on the bright side of life. Always look on the bright side of life. Oh man.
SPEAKER_03Weird shit in our heads. Oh man, no kidding. And with that lovely serenade, another set of episodes wrap up. Join us next time as a new conversation begins with Sarah and Deborah. Thanks for listening to Put a Quarter in It, presented by Energy Medicine University and produced by Hip Chicks Create.
