Hello and welcome to Intuitive Insights. I am your host, megan McDonough, your no BS Woo Woo coach. I'm here to guide you on a journey of self-discovery, spiritual growth, connecting to your intuition with universal messages, practical tools and inspiring stories to hopefully empower you to deepen your intuition in your life so you can live with unshakable purpose. This week I have decided to share with you not just a little bit from an intuitive message or a universal message from a reading, but the reading itself. This is a good friend of mine, so this is not an initial reading. This is a follow-up reading that we had done together, but there were some really profound universal messages that I feel like we could all kind of take in, and so I am leaving it here for you today to listen to, to explore. Here you go, enjoy the heart and the head.
Speaker 2:I don't know that I have anything like in particular that I am wondering. I mean we're debating buying another house in Arkansas. That's kind of been on my mind. Just this coding. I'm just about done with belief code and so then I'll be fully, fully certified, and so I mean I'm making money doing coding. I want it to be like my full-time, permanent job. I'm trying to figure out what that looks like and how to get there. Okay, and other than that I don't well, my daughter-in-law's, I don't know if that ever improves, and that's all I got going on.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, but there's a couple of things with that. So the first one is the launch of you no longer being under the tutelage of someone else, like having the strain, the reins taken away. And it feels like um, there's a fear around that. It's like circling around that, it's like, uh, feeling naked, you know.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so when I look at the like full-timetime, how do I make it a full-time job? But there's this like, there's this fear and anxiety around having it be naked without that's the best word that comes up but like um, without having, uh, the structure of a class or a certification or a thing. You know what I mean? Um, yeah, speaking of belief code, there is a, there is a you got to believe around there's a, there's a thought around them. There's like a packet and it's and I'm seeing it like a package, you know, and the thought package is like there is an odd judgment around it and that judgment is coming from a fear and it. But then it's like, and if I keep going back, it's like taking me back to but it's, it's a, it's the, it's a thought, belief, philosophy around work and money and accomplishment. It feels opposite of like it's, it feels like a battle between your heart and your head. It feels like your heart wants to live in your soul, wants to live in this um space of the like, this entrepreneurial, spiritual, healer space. But there is this massive amount of structured, ancestral fear, with ideas around money and um work and the idea of the word work and what it means, um, that they, it's like they're oil and water and so they mix for a hot second and then they separate. And they mix for a hot second and then they separate, and so it's like getting past. So let me see how we do that.
Speaker 1:Okay, I was just shown. I was just shown the trees again. Yeah, I'm just, I'm getting shown, like for you to walk outside and just listen. Like you have the answers. You have the. I keep hearing that you need to listen. Like you have the answers. You have the. I keep hearing that you need to listen, like you have the. You have the, the instruction manual for unraveling the tension that surrounds what your soul and heart desires to move towards. Does that make sense? Yeah, because I'm hearing. Oh God, it's, it's, it's getting aggressive with you today. Sorry, but I'm hearing like it's the thinking, thinking, the thinking. Let go of the thinking. Okay, and the taking notes is part of the thinking. Do you know what I'm saying? It's part of the doing things right. To get from a. If I do a plus b plus c, I get d. Okay, and that's how it works. Okay, that's not how this other thing works, and you know that. True, and your soul, your free spirit, fluid, has spiritual, intuitive soul, loves to live there. But there is a hot guy I feel like I got like a ball root right here. But there is a fear in you that if you give way to that free spirit, intuitive self, the structure of your life will unravel. Okay, and that's not true. Okay, because but I'm seeing it, because I'm seeing it as I keep hearing like going back to like your teenage years or early 20s, like that kind of time, like there's a part of you that's like um, you were more in touch with that side of yourself then, that kind of wild, fluid side, and um, and it's like, it's almost like you had a moment where you saw the writing on the walls, like if I don't get my shit together, shit's going left and I need to go right, and so that's where the structure came in. You know, that's where, like, okay, the shit's math, I'm gonna do some math, even though your body and your heart is like I'm a poet bitch, you know what I'm saying. So it's like your, your heart's a poet, but you're like, in order to get through life, I have to be a mathematician. And so right now, your soul and your heart are in your head are like your head's, like math, math, math, structure, do it this way, blah, blah, blah, and the heart's like that is not what we're here to do. And so there's a lot of letting loose of the reins and leaning into the trust. Okay, so let me look back at this now. Having said all that, I want to look back at this full-time, uh situation. I keep hearing the word faith, like big faith, loud and clear, okay, taking and I'm here and it's not quite taking the leap of faith meaning I I don't see that. It looks like I'm quitting my job and I'm doing this full time, like I don't see, it's like that, that's a, that's a big fucking leap. That's like going the opposite extreme. That's not going to solve. What I'm hearing more is a um, a dissolving of the fear of structure, of the need for structure, and the rising of the faith in your natural abundance. And I also am hearing that this is softening this transformation, that it's sticky because this is old and old ingrained or long time ingrained, right, but uh, the transformation is going. I'm like I'm just to cry a little bit, but it's going to soften not only your relationship with self. Yeah, I don't really see a problem there. I just see what I'm seeing meaning she just is who she is. What I'm seeing meaning she just is who she is. And I feel like if you just kind of move into where you're going, it's just, it's a non starter. Okay, because, because the holding on to structure, but it also feels like, um, like it's, uh, like it, it sucks. That it sucks, but what it feels more like is that it's a place to put she is she and all the things you wish she was, is a home to put anxieties and fears. Okay, so there's the her. That is right, it just is what it is. And then there's the her that you wish she could be, and that's where we're putting all the extra things and bits and pieces we don't want to process into. Okay, does that make sense? Yes, and so that's why I feel like, when you start dissolving this structural need around you, that it's like it doesn't even. It's not even. It's just she is who she is. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yes, okay, I'm getting like a little tummy and throat anxiety, like a little knot in my stomach and a little knot in my throat. Hold on, can I say this feels like it's too much. Yes, this feels like it's too many. It's it's a large-ass distraction and it feels too heavy and too stressful and um, and it feels like a no right now.
Speaker 2:Okay for right now.
Speaker 1:Just say that, because that's exactly what I've been getting okay, yeah, it feels like a not right now, and and, and I think it's a not right now because it's coming back to the main thing that we were talking about, which is this isn't math. Stop calculating. Okay, for now I'm not saying forever, but for now, until you can integrate the internal and the external, the head and the heart, because right now they're arguing and those arguments are living in different places, like relationships like, um, you know, people not coming up to par or whatever it may be. You know it's like, but there's something off in my stomach right now. What is that? What do we talk? What are you feeling and thinking?
Speaker 2:well, it's so nauseous, like you're spot on. Like when I was a teenager, I was my free spirit. I did whatever the fuck I wanted and I didn't give a fuck what anybody said, including my parents. Yeah, yeah, like doing me. Yeah, I'm pregnant, and I was like, okay, I need to like get back on the parent Kool-Aid. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then I got back on the parent, kool-aid and I have been successful, but I haven't been happy. Yeah, so I've like sacrificed five, 35 years happiness for the security of doing a job. That makes me fucking crazy. Babysitting adults that makes me crazy. Being the rule enforcer, which makes me crazy, and it's just, it's funny. It's like I think you're right, I think it's so not true to who I am, and then I've just gotten such in this. It's so not true to who I am, and then I've just gotten such in this like this is how it has to be, and even if it is making me miserable, you know, instead of being who I truly am and just letting go of the lies that aren't true.
Speaker 1:Here's what I'm hearing when you're saying all that. It's not that you've given away happiness. It's that you've acquired life lessons and you've learned how to play this game. You've won at playing this game. You figured it out, you know how to do it, you've done well, you're successful, you've played this game well, and what's making you frustrated and miserable is that you can no longer ignore your heart and your soul's calling.
Speaker 2:True.
Speaker 1:And even though you played this game well, this particular game in life, now it's time to learn. Now it's like your soul is saying Now it's time to learn Now.
Speaker 2:it's like your soul is saying good job.
Speaker 1:Great, you did it. Cool. Now let's learn how to integrate. You know integrating your who you are in the structure of this game, and now I'm seeing you again in the trees, so is that a good?
Speaker 2:do you have like a path that you walk with the trees around where you like brain fart? No, but I, I think the trees is is so literally, the belief code is a tree. But belief code is literally like like you're a tree and the belief code is like the roots of your tree. So, anyway, I think I, I mean, and I think I just need to like, like you said, like just be in nature and, yeah, hear the messages and get and and be quiet, because you're right, it just like is constantly computing something. You know what I mean? I gotta do this at this list, I gotta. When I'm not doing that and it's exhausting you, and then I like I'm always in being productive mode, it is exhausting. I don't ever, other than when I sleep, I don't ever like let myself just chill the fuck out, you know. And so anyway, I think, and also hearing your sleep.
Speaker 2:You're not even sleeping, sleeping most most the time, not last night, was really good, I think I've. In the last month I've maybe had four or five really good nights of sleep, but mostly no, yeah, no, yeah. Um, I have one more question for you. Yeah, menopause. How is menopause playing into all of just how I'm feeling, what's going on? Or is it really just circling back to this giant conflict between my heart and my head?
Speaker 1:So when you asked that, my Megan self wanted to be like my you know me wanted to be like, oh, it's totally playing in because blah, blah, blah blah and like go through all the you know the laundry list of things. But what I saw was I don't want to cry a little bit here, but it was like this beautiful unraveling of like this soft, powerful beast of a woman, like this gorgeous, gorgeous, soft, strong transformation, and like larger than life. So it does play a part of it. It's part of your transformation. Right, it is transformative, transformative. But it's like it's almost as if this transformation is kind of the physical echoing of your powerful female self coming to play, coming into play. You know, know, um, like it almost. It's like I'm almost almost hearing, like it's the last part of the, it's the last thing of like listen, you know, yeah, it's kind of just another, but I do hear that it's the last piece, like it's the last piece of the puzzle or the last piece of the um, announcing of the transformation yeah, well, and I think it's funny.
Speaker 2:I think it is hard and I and it's so funny because, like, when I do all of this body coding and we're all coding work, I'm always telling people like this is not a head thing and I think why I'm so drawn to it is because it is such like it's hard work.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And, um, when I do it, no part of my head is like participating and we'll start thinking I'm like, stop, we're not. This is hard work. Um, but it is interesting how much I struggle with um, like I am a strong woman and when I look at soft women, I like like those two cannot be the same, like can't be, can't be in the same peapod. You know what I mean. And so I do need to like resolve those two contradictions and the contradictions of being a healer versus you have to work your fucking ass off to make money. You know which?
Speaker 2:I'm tired of working my fucking ass off, you know, and even if I go into business to be a coder, I don't want it. I don't want to feel like I have to work my ass off to make money. I want to feel like I'm doing this to help people heal, which is what I do feel. It's funny how different, like, when I'm in that space of doing the healing work, it's almost like it's almost like like something, something noise settles, like yeah, like like it's, it's like I do, it's like I'm, it's like my head gets cut off and I'm like in my body and feeling it all and doing it all and just in bliss. And then I I get back into not that work and I'm like put my head back on and the fucking thing is crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's too much. Well, it's because it's getting louder on the heart and the intuitive side right, and the healer side, and so it's pulling further and further away from each other and it's starting to rip you apart. You know, and I think that's why you're getting, you're feeling like, um, you're just feeling it get louder. You know, um, I did write down, redefine the word strength and strong women. That's something to marinate on, okay, fine for yourself, what strength is and what a strong woman is.
Speaker 1:And then also, I did a meditation. I'll send you on the rose gold light and just that. I'll send it to you, but you just play with it on your own, okay, but I feel like that rose gold light has a lot of strength and a lot of softening. Okay, you know, and that's actually kind of how I saw it when you said the menopause. I saw that in there. Okay, I'm still feeling something at the base of my throat, though this is the connection between the heart and the voice, right? So is your husband supportive of this work? Ish, yeah, do you feel like you can't talk about it with him?
Speaker 2:no, I mean I do, um, but I don't think I'm like as vocal about it with him as I am with. He's like a yeah on the sideline, like a wallflower about it, yeah with everybody else I'm like oh my god, you know. And he's like yeah, I think he thinks like this is just another phase or something well, I what like a phase or something like he thinks it's another one of those. Like she got on the side road and we'll see when this passes, because there have been roads, but what's funny?
Speaker 1:is attached to identity that's what it is, I'm feeling is there's a struggle in identity, in voicing your identity as a healer or moving into a different space. Okay, it's self-identity. Okay, it's like the root of that thing, at the base of the heart and the throat. And I'm curious as to why, because I'm also feeling a little my stomach, so that would be more like self-power, identity, that whole thing. But the base of the throat would be more like how to communicate it, you know, how to share it. Yeah, that's it, that, that was 100% it.
Speaker 1:So, and and what it feels like is for that is just clearing and there's anxiety wrapped around it because of all the stuff we talked about at the beginning and that it's, you know, it's familial, familiar, and actually it is also familial. There's that in there and then, but it's just, it's old, hardwired, you know, it's just it's old hardwired. You know, and I'm sure there's some kind of and I'm hearing you, robbie like there's like a belief code, mantra or something you can replace for those anxiety places right at the throat, right at the core. You know, because it's that self-identity, how to voice it, how to feel it, how to soften it, how to empower it, how to voice it, how to feel it, how to soften it, empower it. Strong doesn't have to be harsh or hard edges. It can be soft edges and massively grounded, can it.
Speaker 1:I'm not, I'm just being facetiousetious yeah, and I'm gonna get rid of it. Yeah, but yes, yeah, it like um, it's like a whole new way. That goes for me too. You know what I mean. Like I'm feeling this echo of you know, uh, like a thick gel instead of a hard line, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, and I so identified with being this like badass hard ass you know for my whole life, and so, anyway, I do think it's time to let that go, cause it's exhausting. Like keeping up this, these walls. You know, it's like and you are.
Speaker 1:So you are such an amazing. I mean I know you are because I know you and I know how intuitive you. I mean you're wickedly talented and that's just like, and you know it's. It's just, you're in tune to your gift, mm-hmm, you have this beautiful healing spirit which is such a massive, massive gift and not everybody can do that. Thank you. If you ask someone to do that instead of what you do at work, they wouldn't be able to do I think that's true, but they might be able to do your job.
Speaker 2:I think that's true too. I think that's. I love it. I mean, it's the message I needed to hear, and I got some work to do because I want to step into.
Speaker 1:You don't have work to do, you have listening to do, true Listening. You're right, and that's also so. So in this way, know that, like you've been coming at everything you're doing with a hard structure for so long, so when you're looking at your new business, flip a bitch on it. Your strength comes from structure. So just know you're not going to be able to fucking help yourself when it comes to that. It's just, it's just gonna, it's gonna come. So don't force it now. Just know it's going to come, because you're just not going to be able to help yourself, you know. But what you do need to um, not need to, but what may be helpful is to on the fluidity and turn down the volume on the structure. Okay, turn up the volume on faith and trust and turn down the volume on because there is no right way to be a healer. You're just a healer who heals, you know.
Speaker 2:Yay, I loved this reading. Thank you.
Speaker 1:All right, that's this week's message Integrate the heart and the head. I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know what you think about this format. It's a new one I'm playing with. You can reach me at info, at magnetize your light or on magnetizeyourlightcom.
