Inner Alchemy - Balance

This episode is a reminder that we do not need to become worthy, we already are. Joy leads us on an exploration of what it means to live with greater ease by reconnecting with our natural state as a being of light, love, and awareness, rather than constantly striving, fixing, or proving yourself.

We are invited to notice how quickly the world is shifting and how important it is to stay grounded in your own energy. By slowing down, breathing, and asking deeper questions like “Who am I beyond the noise?” space opens for what Joy describes as inner alchemy, that quiet transformation that happens when we reconnect with our truth and sovereignty.

We are reminded that even during chaos or uncertainty, we can “flip the switch” of our inner light, radiate kindness outward, and strengthen your connection to wellness, clarity, and abundance through consistent inner alignment.

Balance episodes are a pathway to harnessing the healing power within, releasing the signals of trauma and accumulated pain from your family history and personal journey.

This is Soul Awakenings with Joy Truscott, the show that is your safe space. Life has so many transitions, and this is where we walk through those together with more ease, grace, and flow.

SPEAKER_01 0:18

Thank you for being here. It's just wonderful that we get time to connect into what it is that will help us to live this life with more ease, grace, and flow, to adjust our energy, mind, body, and being. Whatever adjustments we can make, there are things that are moving so rapidly, and if we can just stay in pace with that, it's gonna be so much easier for us. So just think about it like that. We're not just trying to get better. We're just trying to let this wonderful person who is already a light being, that's you, really wonderful. You don't have to do anything to become that, you are that already. But we have to slowly adapt into the space and the pace of this vibrational frequency, this calibration. So it is us who's adapting to being in place and in space. So we can bring a bit more of who we are, a bit more of our light, a bit more of our energy, because we are that already into a place that is slowly starting to upgrade in its frequency. Please think about it like that. The other way around is a game of manipulation. You've got to become this light worker, you've got to become this gracious being. It's this constant becoming, and you're not good enough yet. Don't be playing that game, my treasures. Just don't play it. Make up your mind right now. Will not play that game, it will not be played, and I will not be manipulated. I am that already. You already are a divine being of light and love. You are the very breath of the divine. We've forgotten a lot of that because we've been living in a very low vibrational frequency. It's a thick, goopy mess, this vibration. And the contrast for so many of us is that we're just drowning here. We just can't breathe. We're choking to death in this very, very suffocating, very hard energy space. It's not because you're broken, it's not because something's wrong with you, or that you just don't know how to manage yourself and you need to learn how to do that. It's not that at all. It's just that you've had to push your energy down, down, down to manage being here. And now we've got to slowly start opening it up again. But we have been playing the game of suppression and coercion for so long as a species that we've almost forgotten who we are. Oof, my lovelies. I'll just go goosebumps with that. Please, my treasures, we've got to remember who we are. It's the most important thing we can do. We are that already. Please hear that. It's just that we are matching into a higher calibration, a little bit higher, and then all things that we already are will be available to us. So be delighted when you see yourself being switched on, because you are going to be more and more and more amazed as you switch on. There is nothing that I can teach you, my lovelies. You know all this stuff. Honestly, you are that already. It's just that we've got to remember it and start remembering who we are, believing it. When those wonderful moments come in, we get a moment of insight or we connect to something, it's like, there it is. Look at that. Really celebrate it, really notice it because it's you coming back online. It's fabulous. Let's talk about what we're going to talk about today. And it's finding our inner alchemy. And you know, when we think about alchemy and alchemists, and we think about in the old ways, we were thinking of the big cauldron, maybe all little pots and smoke and things rising and churning, and all these things that were just cooking, cooking away. And we think about this space that could be like an alchemist's sanctuary, but really, this alchemy, this magic is already in you. You are this already. And what we're doing is awakening it, tweaking it, coming back online, seeing ourselves again. The more of us who are seeing this happen and convincing ourselves first, and then talking about it with others without the fear of suppression, without condemnation, judgment, shaming, and blaming, and the fear of persecution, without all those added stories of immense pain, we're at a wonderful time where we truly can stand up for our sovereignty. And let's claim that. If you can settle down where you are, do a little wriggle in your body, get your feet or any part of your body that's connecting to something that's touching the earth in one way or another, feel that connection now. Take a deep breath in, my lovelies. A long slow out breath. And as you drop drop into this moment, smooth the skin on your beautiful face, drop your shoulders, soften your tummy, and send a signal to you that I'm ready. I'm ready to be in a space and a place with my own being and reconnect to the magic of me. This beautiful being that knows how to create, that is the very breath of the creator. It holds so much amazing, enchanting magic within it. We come back to that part of us that is always seeking and longing, yearning for the fulfillment and the fullness of our expression. We don't seek it because we don't have it. We seek it because we are it. And we're just so longing for that to be reflected back to us. You and I, we are mirrors to each other. That's how we do the dance of the human story. You show me and I show you little aspects of me and you, and I show you back again. It is that constant reflection, relating relationships that is happening back and forth. It is that that's helping us to remember who we are and to see ourselves. And when we learn to relate with each other in a loving, kind, gracious, and conscious way. When we are aware of the sensitivities of the other and we don't condemn them or blame them, when we do that, we uplift their energy, their field. I know there's so many of you who are in this group who have never had that upliftment. Please, my lovelies, hear that this was never because you were broken or something was wrong with you. It was because you could see that it wasn't appropriate, it wasn't okay, it wasn't kind or loving. And how did you know that it was not that? Why didn't we just go with all the stuff that was being presented? Why did we feel the anger, the resentment, the rage, the sadness? Why didn't we just feel that and say, well, this is life, that's what you feel. You feel miserable. It's because there is a part of you that has been and always has been fully connected, fully aware of the consciousness that resides within. And that part of you has been screaming for that to appear. So if we're lucky, we come into places and spaces where it's reflected lovingly and kindly back to us. But equally, we could be in places and spaces that are very challenging and we receive nothing of that feedback. So, how do you know all these other facets of you? How did you remember who you are? It was through your yearning and your longing, your despair and your heartache. Because you yearned for it, you knew it already because you are that already. It's such a major key that, and I need you to hear it. It's probably going to say it many, many more times, but I want you to hold that right in you and remember who you are. You hold the God code, the blueprint in you. The situations that you've come through and are going to move into will challenge you in one way or another. It will either encourage you to uplift even more because you're getting such gracious feedback, or it'll challenge you in a very deep and profound way. And all the time you're going to have some sense of how you feel in that space. That is your trick. That is your gift. How do I feel right now in this moment? Check in with yourself. Just take a breath. If you can, close your eyes, feel the connection. And how do you feel about you right now? And notice how you would love to say how you feel about you in terms of what it is that's happened around you, the people or the stuff. But if you were to push that aside and ask again, how do I feel about me right now? Who am I? And feel that connection. Who am I? In all the moments when we just stop for a moment and we ask, who am I? We are asking that part of us that is pure divine sovereignty to remember itself. Who am I? Away from all the clutter and all the stuff, all the performances of the human story. Who am I in the quietest moments of you just being in the space with yourself? Are you a screaming, ranting being? Are you furious? And then if you are, just sit with that. Who am I now? Who am I that is feeling so much pain, so much misery, so much hateful anger? Huh? Who am I in this? Who am I that knows that this is not what I want? You will always get the information about who you are, regardless of the story around you. If you sit there long enough. And you'll feel your connection to yourself. My lovelies, with all our heart and soul, give yourself as many opportunities to do this as you possibly can. We do not want to be brought to the point in a human journey where our voice, our movement, our expression, our life force is taken away from us. And all we really are doing is sitting like a blob in a chair, waiting for someone or something around us to feed us or nurse us or take care of us. If we could give ourselves those spaces of inner, deep, profound reflection, reconnect to your inner alchemy, your divine graciousness. If we could do that while we are still present in the world, while we are in the calamity and the crashing and the colliding, we still remember who we are. We don't need a space that has none of that so that we can remember who we are. If you set that up, you are also setting up a lot of pain in your life, a lot of hardship. Choose now to be in your particular life, in your particular drama that's unfolding. But choose to be in it in a way that remembers who you are, mindful of you as a being that has this heart that yearns, this soul that seeks, that has this love that is so incredible. Keep reminding you who you are because the moment you reconnect to that, you are connecting in to something that is profound. You create that connection, it's like the sockets join. And once they do, it starts to transmit and starts to send out and radiate energy outward. It's very much like switching on a light, isn't it? We take it so for granted, we walk into a room that's dark and we go flick, we flick the switch, and the light comes on. We don't even think about what that took and how it operates, it just happens. Could it be that we could take it so for granted that we could walk into any room, anywhere, at any time, and we could be the one that flicks the switch on. That we could just walk into a space no matter what it looks like, no matter what feedback is coming towards us, and we see ourselves outside of that drama, karma, and we just flick the switch, we put the light on. Once light comes into a room, all darkness dissipates, all shadow is gone. Secrets are uncovered, nothing can be hidden because light comes in and releases all of that. We wish there was light, we wish that there would be some light somewhere and something would come in and would save us. But we are the light, my loves. And the light is within you. The light and the love, the grace. It's in you. The greatest way to manipulate a great majority of people is to allow them to forget who they are and to tell them they're weak and reliant and dependent, and then poke them every now and again with lots of fear bombs. It's a great way to manipulate humanity. But if you remember who you are, nothing and no one can take that away from you. You will be a light within yourself. Know thyself. You be the light of you, and then let that transmit through you. There's nothing for you to do to have that happen. You simply are. We don't go up to the light bulb and beg it. Oh, please, will you just cast a little bit of light here? Would you do that for me now? If I flick the switch, would you do it? We don't beg it, it just happens. And you just are. And you are this light. The light, the truth, and the way it resides within you. The alchemy and the magic to uplift you, to upgrade you, to bring us as a species into another space is already inside every single one of us. Isn't that wonderful? So all we must do is remind each other who we are, and remind each other who they are. Keep reminding others who they are. Don't look at their behavior and their story. It's defensive and it's protective. It'll be angry and sad, it'll be whatever it is, because the human journey is tough. But look for their light, look for their soul and help them to remember that. If we all made just the difference in one other person's life, we've done something magnificent. Just magnificent. A life worth having because we made a difference to one other soul. How lovely. And that doesn't just include the humans, it's kindness to plants and to animals, to all the earth. It's kindness, my lovelies. It is a reverberation that is so amazing and nothing can stop it. Nothing. It's a wave like a tsunami that just comes in and sweeps away and clears and cleanses it a little bit like that. We don't want the devastation of it. We just want the absolute of it. That here it's coming and here it's gonna be, and that's us. We create this energy because we are it already. Just see if you can feel that deep within you now, my lovelies, as you take a breath, and then lock it into your being, lock it into this beautiful being. Smooth the skin on your beautiful face, just hold it there. Stop what you're doing. Busy, busy, busy. Stop it. Be wasteful, be mindful, be conscious, be here. And then open your heart. What would you radiate out to life? What would you send out now if you knew that you could radiate out so much light by flipping a switch in you? What would this light say or feel? And to whom and where might you send this light? How powerful are we, my lovelies? That we have this ability to transmit and to transform. We're in a form to be informed by all of this around us, the performing that's going on is bringing us all this information. We're assimilating it and understanding it, playing with it, or not. But all the time it's coming in and coming in and coming in. And we can either be thrust around all the places, bombarded by all this information like static, or we just stop and see it like a swirling mass of information, and we can choose to be in it and see it and play with it or not. But whatever we do, before we begin to even think about engaging in any of the games outside of us, we must lock our energy in. Lock it in, drop, drop. Lock your energy. Who am I? Who am I in this moment? What is the absolute truth that I'm holding within me? My deepest, quietest moment. What would I yearn for with all my heart and soul? Feel that as many times in a day as you can possibly just stop and reconnect, reconnect, reconnect. And then, my lovelies, do it every time you grumpy pants. Every time you're just feeling lots of bristly energy. This is the best time to get the answers and the words and the gifts, the feedback. It's great. Because we're paying attention when we are grumpy or irritable, when something's happened around us. It's the very, very best time to remember who you are. So if there is chaos around you and if there's craziness going on around you, just notice it and then feel who you are in it. Who are you in this? What do you know? What do you know that's beyond this game, this screen, this story? And you hold that energy. We don't rely upon any of this outside of us to be a certain way for us to be fabulous because we are fabulous already. Can you just say that? I am. I am that already. No game, no story, no pretense, no anything. I am that already. Can you get it? Got it. Then lock it in. Just lock it in. So that we can stand now in the space. Whatever's coming in, boy, oh boy, this great change coming in. It's coming in rapidly. But you stand in the space that you're in because there's nothing that is different about you. Our behavior adjusts to this and that, but we are the same being of light and love, holding the same amazing gift that we were given to be here and to bring into this world. It's right there, it's in you. Don't have to go outside of you to find it or hook up to anything or anyone to do it. You've got it in you. Lovely you. Let's take a deep breath in. A long slow out breath. Just breathe out. Drop drop into this moment. Be here. We thank our guides and angels and divine presence for holding us so sweetly. And we ask that while we're in this space, that we can find wellness to thrive and become abundant, fulfilled, healthy, clear. So that when we're showing up in the world, in all the wonderful, multifaceted ways that we can, that we are always plugging in that part of us which is our excellence. Feel that now. Well done. You've got it.
