It just would not be spring if I wasn't laying awake at night dreading a hike I have planned. So tonight I leave for the Grand Canyon. Pretty excited about that. Gonna go up there camp tonight. I'm with a friend and then we'll wake up super early. Hike from the south rim to the north rim which will be a little over 20, well like

a little over 26 miles based on where we park and where the campground is on the North Rim. And so on the North Rim, I will camp with my friend. And so we'll be carrying a tent, sleeping bags, sleeping pad, some snacks. And there's a restaurant on the North Rim that we're going to hit up. So we're basically going to get there, set up camp, shower, eat, go to bed. Then we'll wake up the next day.

and then walk from the North Rim back to the South Rim. So save them out like 26 miles. Elevation change of about 12,000 miles. So going down about 6,000 and up about 6,000. It's basically a big inverse mountain. And last year, I don't know who I shared this audio file with. Might've just been Kinship. But last year I hiked from...

the south rim to the north rim and then stayed overnight on the north rim and took a shuttle back. So this time I'm doing twice as much. And I will have a friend with me, so super fun. I have been training very hard for this and my original plan was to do it all in one, but I just was not feeling physically ready and I have...

I like to push myself in these efforts, but I have just like, my ego isn't there in the way where I like, need to do something crazy and risk injury. Like for me, it's more important to do something that's difficult, but even if I have to back off a little bit to avoid injury or feeling totally demolished, you know, for the few days afterward, I just like to be active. I want to be able to walk my dogs like the day after and I know I will be tired and I know I will be sore. But I just I don't want to do the whole thing in one crack someday probably but I was thinking about it and I'm like and having a friend with it would be kind of fun to camp overnight and if anything if it feels like I could have done that in one shot then I will be.

I'm excited to do that at some point in the future. But that's kind of what I'm thinking about right now. That's like what's right in front of me. Yeah, other than that, I've been working on the podcast, of course, just I have six podcast clients. I'm doing about six, six-ish sessions with each of them. Some of them have a few more. Some of them might not get to six, but six is kind of what I'm shooting for.

And I have, we have completed them, like actually done the sessions and recorded it, most of them. And then now I'm starting to go through and edit the sessions just to make it like a podcast episode. So, you know, I don't know, we've just been having so many cool conversations. And when I explore with people's higher selves,

I think I've shared with you all before I have this whole list of like just general questions that I have for the higher self and we just are not getting to them. Everyone's stories and like what they're following and what they're asking about is just so interesting and it's really like the main reason why I wanted like dedicated podcast clients for at least a handful of episodes because

just doing this work for seven years, having some clients who have been with me basically since the beginning. It's really cool to see these people grow and evolve in very subtle yet life-changing ways. And it's a part of my job I find so interesting and so I wanna share that. so when I'm with these clients, it's less about like the questions I wanna ask, even though I do slide those in there and it's...

Jina Seer (04:43.689)

more like I'm curious, I want this person to get the most out of it. I'm curious as to like how this is going to unfold. So yeah, it's kind of like me balancing that. But what I'm gonna do is actually this question list I have of general higher self questions, this list also just continues to grow and grow. I think I have like 30 questions on there now. I think I started with like eight.

And it's just when I get answers, then I get more questions, you know how it is. So I think what I'm going to do is create hypnotic tracks and share them as podcast episodes. But in that, what I'll do is kind of put my general collective higher self questions in there so you all can get your own answers. See how it compares to other people's answers. I plan on doing this with my podcast clients too and having them.

Maybe even sitting down like for a discussion to see what we all get, see what was similar, see what was different between each other, but also between what we thought before the hypnotic journey, what we thought after. So I thought, why not share that as a podcast episode? Because if someone wants to get those answers themselves and I have the way to do it, then I want to share it. But I'm really curious to see just what other people get. Is there overlap? Is there common threads?

I'll be sharing those with the invite to let me know what you get when you actually do it. So that leads me to, I'm gonna share this recording. was a conversation with a client that we had during the session and we, I record the sessions, so I just spliced the recording. And basically this client had asked the question of like, how do we know we're talking to our higher self? The way I've crafted this is,

So the higher self is the part of our soul. So we are, I believe we are all one, but I'm having an individual experience from you. So how do we explain that? Right? That's my, like, what's going on. Well, it's almost like tentacles off of that. Or like, if you think of a lava lamp, how it's like pieces will kind of flow, but it's still all connected. It's just taking different shapes. And so I think of the higher self as like the energetic.

Jina Seer (07:04.529)

part of the energetic being that we are that's closest to the divine. So in order to get there, it's my understanding that we bypass, we can bypass like the lower frequency things, like the malevolent energies, those sort of things by holding unconditional love in our heart. And so it's, we're accessing that transcendental state by using hypnosis. So I think of

hypnosis as an on-ramp to this state of being that humans have access to and there's so many on-ramps you can use plant medicine you can use hypnosis you could use meditation yoga journaling drumming chanting all the things right and definitely the on-ramp we take to get somewhere will influence the experience and our intentions influence the experience

But when we're in that transcendental state, it's my understanding that everything's energy, including me, right? Like even a rock. A rock is really energy just moving very, very, very, very, very slowly is my understanding. And so the higher the frequency at which we're vibrating, the more expansive, the more light, the less contracted, heavy, dense. And so when we're

actually holding that emotion. Like, I don't know if you remember, but in the induction, I had you bring forward a memory of unconditional love in that I prompted you to feel it, feel even more of it. And in that we're changing the frequency of which we are vibrating at. It's my understanding that our emotions are a really good indicator as to like how the frequency at which we are vibrating. And then a bigger explanation is, is my picture is like when we're

in this transcendental state. I talked about kind of these on ramps to get there. Well, I also think of it as like the frequency at which we are vibrating, the emotional state in which we are in also influences the energetic address that we're going to. So if we have, if we, why would we not want to have like a loving expansive experience? So then I move through it with unconditional love.

Jina Seer (09:21.091)

And then with the intention, we pull your higher self in. And so those human intention, transcendental state, high frequency at which you're vibrating, and the intention to get this information from that most divine part of you, that is how we're getting it. After time, after time, after time, you're going to get even more of an understanding of what that higher self energy is.

So today we went there, we took a long trip, we took 90 minutes, we bathed in that energy, you were right there. But the more you have connection with that energy, whether in hypnosis, listening to a guided track that I've sent you, or just you even walking by the river with the intention to connect, like that will help you build that connection even more so that voice

in your head becomes the strongest voice in your head, the one that's the most familiar, the one that has the best track record. And because you're on a journey of becoming more mindful, understanding how you're being influenced, what's coming in through the channel, where is that coming in? How did I get that information? All of that stuff, you become more and more accustomed to that information. And so then you don't even one day,

you wouldn't even, mean, probably tomorrow if you wanted to, but you might even one day feel like, why would I pay to do a hypnosis session when I can just access this stuff on my own? And that's what I want for people. Because for me, I think therapy is great. I'm sure I'll be in it at some point again, but like accessing my higher self helps me in business. helps, it's like having this like divine coach that's like,

helping me process my life. Like if I'm having a difficult time, normally I would have brought it to my therapist. And now I sit down, I go into that meditation and I just ask the questions to my higher self. And it's always like loving and compassionate and all of that stuff. So that's why, that's where we're going there. And we go to the higher self because that is actually the voice. It is us. It's always been us.

Jina Seer (11:42.826)

So it's actually the voice, the voice that's the most closest to us. It's the easiest for us to access. And it's the one that we're actually the most familiar with, even if it's not conscious in this lifetime yet. So, and then from there we can go to, you know, as we've done before, like spirit guides and past lives and the Akashic records and stuff like that. But it really is almost like this foundational piece of like,

connecting to our divinity. I could talk so long about it, Dana, but what I also want to say is that the more you get to know your higher self, that divine part of you, for me personally, the more curious I got of like, okay, well, who am I? And like how unique and fun can I make this life for Gina? And then because this is just like the beautiful way a human is,

When I'm excited about something and I do it over and over and over, I lose excitement for it, but I still appreciate it, right? So I still appreciate myself, but that excitement isn't there anymore. And now I'm beyond curious to be like, you, like, what are you doing with this life? What does your higher self want you to do with your life? Like, I don't want to control it. I don't want to influence it. I'm just so curious. Like I know my gifts, I'm being shown them, I'm being validated in them. And now I, that's still fun.

but not as fun as it used to be. And so now it's like, I turned to other people and I'm like, and what are your gifts? And what are your gifts? And and what are you doing with this? And who's your higher self? And how does that manifest in your life? Like, and I think that that is like the expansive way to have compassion and love for people without like putting them in a box of like, you're sad and need help. And so that's why I'm being compassionate to you. It's almost like we can all be great.

but we can all still fight for justice, fight for the things that are important to us. It's this expansive love and compassion that drives us to do more good instead of kind of this like contractive love and compassion that like makes us wanna control and like close all the doors and fuck everybody else, we gotta get ours. And so it's like just this more expansive place. So if someone...

Jina Seer (14:02.056)

if someone was ever accessing their higher self and they said, the higher self was like chastising me or saying really negative things to me, that's an indicator that they're holding a lower frequency in their heart. Like they maybe didn't do the whole thing to get there, to shift that feeling that too unconditional love. And that would be a marker that you're not talking to your higher self. But that's why I like doing these sessions because the way we do it is safe and clear. So now you,

have that connection. And so it's easier for you to connect outside of a session, do it on your own. As opposed to if, if I was just like, connect to my higher self, it's great. Like how everyone's like, I'm channeling. I'm like, and who are you channeling? What was in your heart? Were you in a bad mood? Like, I don't know, just kind of all these things like the energetic address and all of that stuff. It's like we can

grow even more confidently when we know exactly who we are and what's ours. and one last thing before I go. Yesterday I had a session with Meredith and we did my forecast for the year, which were like halfway through the year. That's how busy she was. And it was so interesting, such good astrology for the launch of the podcast and for this hike. And then I checked the astrology for the road trip.

big Mercury retrograde in my 11th house or 9th house or something, which is like travel and stuff. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna have to bring my sense of humor for sure. But then like a week after that, Jupiter does something and it's supposed to be good. But my plan is to share those recordings with you and you can hear Meredith and my conversations, but that'll be in the next few weeks.

When I get around to doing that, I'm like being swallowed whole by this Pilates training as well currently. I am able to teach like over half the Pilates class. So good on me. I should be done. My plan is to be done with all the work, all the practice teaching, all the studying and take the test at the beginning of August, like right when I get back from my road trip.

Jina Seer (16:23.112)

And my god, when I am a certified instructor, you're gonna hear me rejoice from the mountaintops. All right, everybody, I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Get outside and breathe in some fresh air, sniff a flower or a tree. Okay, talk soon.
