The Middle Way: "Maybe"

When certainty gets loud, connection gets quiet. We pull on a thread that runs from energy sensitivity to the ancient “Chinese Farmer” parable to yoga’s plainspoken wisdom on expectation—and discover a gentler way to move through a noisy world. I share why curiosity is more than a mindset hack; it’s a daily practice that cools the ego, softens polarization, and turns experience into information you can use. Instead of chasing good news or bracing for bad, we try on the farmer’s “Maybe,” and watch our nervous systems relax, our listening deepen, and our choices get cleaner.

You’ll hear how I build small rituals to support that shift, including a simple sleep headband routine with frequencies or teachings that help me ease into rest and keep learning without pressure. From there, we unpack Alan Watts’ reminder that the consequences of fortune or misfortune remain unknowable, and we use that truth to stay present rather than spiral into labels. We talk about sensitivity as a compass, not a flaw, and how to translate intuitive signals into grounded action that respects both your values and someone else’s humanity.

I also share an invitation to practice soul-to-soul communication—recognizing your inner language, trusting your own messages, and letting curiosity clear away ego static. If you’re feeling stuck in being right, craving calmer conversations, or longing to reconnect with your own light, this one is a gentle reset. Listen, reflect, and try one small experiment: drop a label, ask a real question, and see what opens.

Hello, and welcome to Intuitive Insights Podcast. I am Megan, your host and your no BS Woo-woo coach. Through personal insights and illuminating interviews and conversations, I explore, we explore the magic of intuition, creativity, and soulful-based tools to help you get and stay unstuck. To tune in, feel aligned, and hopefully, yes, hopefully be inspired. You ready? Let's dive in. All right. So I've just been like, I don't know, man. It's like energy. Who's sensitive out there? Who's like a major? Like, I believe everyone's intuitive, and I believe we're all sensitive, but some of us are, you know, a little more prone to sensitivity than others. And uh prone to energy in others. Um it's just how we're made. And it's also something that you can be trained to do. Like I always explain, um, with uh like basketball or kickball. We can all play, we can all learn the rules and play. But some of us are gonna be like star kickball people, and some of us are just gonna be like, yeah, I played that in grade school. You know what I'm saying? Anyway, so I wrote this blog post the other day about um how are we gonna connect in this world? Like, especially the US. How are we gonna connect? How are we gonna find that connection? That um how are we gonna be able to listen again? And what I offered in this blog post was creativity. Oh, sorry, that's not a lie. I mean, you can be creative, yes, true, but curiosity. And when we're curious, we're open. We don't have our guards up, we don't have our boundaries drawn, our our lines in the sand, our minds aren't made up. We're curious. We're in a state of growth and learning and listening. So the blog post was about curious, being curious rather than being right. Because truly we can rationalize anything. Anything can be rationalized. I'm sure the Nazis had a great rationalization for what they were doing. I'm sure they thought they were right. So being right doesn't really matter. What matters is connection, curiosity, love, the realization that the only thing separating my light from yours is my skin suit. You know, the finite vehicle of this body that I'm living in in this life. Otherwise, we're the same. We're the same light coming from the same source. That's what I believe. And I feel like at its core, that's what all religions were trying to get at before they got all messed up. That's my opinion. Take it or leave it. But what I wanted to share today was this, you know, sometimes I I, by the way, I have this like um, I mean, it makes me feel so old and I love it so much. But it's like a headband. It's supposed to be for jogging, but I wear it to sleep. And it's like a Bluetooth head earphones headband, but I don't feel it on my head. Like I don't even notice it. So I started using it to go to sleep, help me go to sleep, because God bless perimenopause, and just playing like frequencies to help me go to sleep. And then I was like, oh, maybe I can learn things before I go to bed. So then I started like learning to listening things. So it depends on my mood. I'll either learn something or I'll listen to a frequency, or just relaxing music to kind of help me drift off into sleep. So um this particular day, just recently, uh so I found as I was falling asleep this beautiful, I think it was a Buddhist story. It's it's a Chinese called the Chinese Farmer, the maybe story. And I thought I'd share it with you today. Because I feel like it's an extension of that conversation of to be curious. Um to not like we're so stuck in our own opinions, in our own particular mindset branding right now. It's very hard to connect. And I feel like this story may offer a way for more connection, or at least the idea of it. Okay, here we go. The Chinese farmer's story. Once upon a time there was a Chinese farmer whose horse ran away. That evening, all of his neighbors came around to commiserate. They said, Oh, we're so sorry to hear your how your horse ran away. This is most unfortunate. The farmer said, Maybe. The next day the horse came back, bringing seven wild horses with it, and in the evening everybody came back and said, Oh, isn't it lucky? What a great turn of events. You have eight horses. The farmer again said, Maybe. The following day his son tried to break one of the horses, and while riding it, he was thrown and broke his leg. The neighbors then said, Oh dear, that's too bad. And the farmer responded, Maybe. The next day, the constrip conscription officers, I don't know what that means, but bear with me, came around to constrict what is that? I'm looking that up. People into the army. Constri I that seems like it's the wrong word. Or maybe I'm just a moron. Okay, to constrict people into the army. And they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. And again, all the neighbors came around and they said, Oh, isn't it great? Again, he said, Maybe. The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immersion into complexity, and it's really impossible to tell whether anything happens is good or bad. Because you never know what the consequences of misfortune may be, and you never know what the consequences of good fortune may be. I'm also going uh to read, reiterate that this is a quote of Alan Watts. You never know what will be the consequences of misfortune, or you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune. So the reason I wanted to share that was because I feel like we are so full of extremes now. And this farmer in this story didn't allow himself to get pulled in one direction too far. He stayed the middle road because he knew that he didn't know. And staying present in the not labeling of good or bad or right or wrong kept him open to the possibility of change and detached from the pain in which attachment to the outcome lies. I remember when I was first studying yoga and we were talking about the Patanjali sutras and and why yoga existed. And it was because the thought was pain exists, suffering exists, and the root of all suffering, the root of all suffering comes from expectation. And so this farmer, he didn't expect much from anything. He took life as it came to him. I have a saying that there is no such thing as good or bad. There just is, and what is is information. So, what is the information you're getting today? How can you detach from being right and how can you be curious? How can we soften the lines in the sand and find ways to reach across to those who may not seem similar to us and find a source of connection? That's it. That's what I got for you today. If you would like a reading with me, I offer intuitive energy readings, intuitive coaching, and also my um program for connecting with your soul messages yourself. My passion is not just uh intuitively reading and empowering you to trust yourself, but uh to learn how to trust yourself through listening and being able to communicate with your soul self. So I have a program called Intuitive Soul. It's a five-part, four-part series, one bit, one big intuitive um reading, and then follow-up readings to help you integrate the messages that came through the reading and recognize them for yourself. Because one of the things I offered in this blog post was man, wouldn't it be great if we could all just communicate soul to soul? It eliminates a lot of BS, a lot of getting tripped up on words and ego. Curiosity kills the ego. So if you're interested in that, you can find it on my website, magnetizeyourlight.com, or on all socials at magnetize your light. All right. Have a beautiful, beautiful week. Make some magic today, spread it around, find connection. God bless. I love you. See you next week. Well, in two weeks. Bye.
