Stories from the Subconscious

S3 E13 | Mini-Episode: if other people are doing LESS and getting MORE, why not do what's on your heart?

This podcast episode wasn't expected. Mae sat down to listen to a 10min guided meditation on InsightTimer app... and instead, she got riled up. What happened?  This meditation was filled with inefficient/not super effective affirmations... which serve as GREAT EXAMPLES as to how much possibility is out there.  This by NO MEANS is a shot at the creator of that meditation! He is serving as a teacher for us all in this moment.  YOU'RE INVITED TO CALL IN ABUNDANCE:  Click HERE [https://www.patreon.com/posts/calling-in-for-81103873?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link] to learn more about the "Calling in Abundance" [https://www.patreon.com/posts/calling-in-for-81103873?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link] hypnosis challenge happening April 17-21 LIVE on Patreon.

S3 E12 | Mini-Episode: Don't listen to this quick & easy subconscious hack!

Mirriam Webster indicates that "don't", the converted version of "does not", has been used across the English language for quite some time.  Don't is defined as: a command or entreaty not to do something You likely are already aware of that.  And yet you might not be aware that the subconscious mind has an interesting relationship with "don't".  We often use don't in commands like:  * DON’T WORRY * DON’T THINK ABOUT IT * DON’T BE HOME LATE * DON’T SMOKE And if we really start to think about it: how impactful are those commands?  Or perhaps asked differently: is that the best or most efficient use of language?  Because the subconscious mind often skips over "don't" and leaves you only with the parts of the command that you DO NOT want. So then it sounds more like: * WORRY! * THINK ABOUT IT! * BE HOME LATE! * SMOKE! ...and that's not what you intended, is it?  So in today's mini-episode, we offer up one small nugget to the subconscious mind on how to be more impeccable with our word.  _______________ HEY! did you know that you can watch this episode on Patreon?

She has given the reader an eloquent starting point in which to navigate the wilderness of grief." - Chicago Sun Times "Achingly beautiful..." - Los Angeles Times This powerful book is Didion’s attempt to make sense of the “weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness . . . about marriage and children and memory . . . about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.” This novel is a navigation of how grief can weasel its way into the most ordinary of moments. Didion describes the heartbreak of losing her husband and dealing with the unexpected journey of witnessing your own child in the hospital. Where does the mind go? How do we navigate these hard times? How can a simple billboard trigger thoughts and memories? What do we do?  In the United States, we tend to shy away from death and avoid it [like the plague] and yet, death is one of the only guarentees in life. So, in embracing this book, I wonder how much we can start to normalize death, grief, and the inevitable of life.

S3 E11 | Dropping into the Place of "The Knowing" w/ Mystic & Psychic Medium Cynthia [a hypnosis session recording]

Today's episode is very special and unique. Host Mae Deevy meets with her dear friend Cynthia, who is a Mystic & Psychic Medium after Cynthia reached out with a proposition:  "I want you to hypnotize me!" she said. And so today's episode is a recording of what clarity Cynthia received from her hypnosis session... live! You may be asking yourself: WHY would a PSYCHIC MEDIUM [who receives messages via Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience and Claircognition] want to try hypnosis for clarity!? Doesn’t she just… know things?!  And to be honest, I had the same question for Cynthia! And she let us know why she was seeking clarity via hypnosis so you'll have to tune in and listen :)  The truth is: Cynthia knows what a "trance state" is. When she sits down to channel, she describes the meditative trance place that she goes to as a "room" or "the abyss." She channels from a "deep trace state", in fact she noted specifically that she connects with the 5th dimension for readings and 8th dimension for channeling.  So what happens when we intentionally induce a deep trance state with hypnosis? What could come through?  In this episode, you’ll have a chance to: 1. Meet Mystic & Psychic Medium Cynthia: why we’re here & her intentions for her session 2. Be WITH us through the process and living the experience in REAL TIME to truly understand what it’s like to be hypnotized (getting in touch with the seat of the soul!)  3. Hear where Cynthia’s subconscious brought her & the clarity she received (HINT: humans are so silly) What happens when you hypnotize a psychic medium? Will she land in a new dimension? Will hypnosis open up a room or space beyond the “abyss”?  This episode features a brief interview and intention setting with Cynthia and Mae and then from about the ~35min mark through ~1hr 40min is the recording of their hypnosis session.  NOTE: the hypnotic "induction" has been cut from the audio so that you tune into the core session (versus receive hypnosis yourself!)  Cynthia asked to be hypnotized because she had 4 specific questions she was hoping to receive answers on. Her four questions were: 1. What did her soul do during the hours that she was unconscious during a near-death experience? 2. How to have a better relationship with money? How do I stay in the place of free-flowing? 3. How can I help my family? 4. What is the best direction for offering her gifts and talents to the world? ...and the session left Cynthia in awe, commenting that, “This is a fascinating school that we’ve signed up for" and that she really didn't have anything to worry about ever again. ok, WOW!  This episode is a unique opportunity to experience a real-life hypnosis session which typically happens privately behind closed doors (and closed eyes).  MEET YOUR HOST:  Mae Deevy is a Certified Hypnotist, Integrative Coach, Sound Healer & Host of "Stories from the Subconscious" Podcast.

S3 E10 | Own Your Subconscious: Exploring, Honoring & Loving All the Parts that Make us Whole: a *LIVE* podcast episode w/ Danielle Gertner

Have you responded to an invitation with something like, "well, part of me would love to but the other part of me isn't so sure."  And so the truth is: we naturally break down our needs into parts. A "part" of you wants to go to that birthday party and another "part" of you wants to stay home & eat ice cream.  Maybe "part" of you feels like you "should" sit down and meditate while the other "part" really needs a nap.  We naturally are in touch with various parts of ourselves: * the part that feels embarrassed doing karaoke * the part that is proud of the cake they made for the party * the part that deceived their partner even though they knew it would be hurtful * the part that loves to 'pay it forward' in line for starbucks "just because" * the part that believes they're not worthy of abundance Imagine if we welcomed every single part of ourselves with honor and love? Perhaps you've heard about "parts therapy" or "gestault" or even "Internal Family Systems" (and if not, that's perfect, too!) Either way... you are invited to discover the power of the subconscious mind as we explore, honor, & love all the parts that make us whole. This is a VERY special episode as it is a recording from a LIVE PODCAST EVENT sponsored by  MiraMira Photography Studio in East Austin,  TX. In this episode, Mae Deevy hosts a vulnerable live conversation with special guest Danielle Gertner as they own their shit. on stage. for a live audience.  Quite specifically: today's episode is a deep dive into a "part" that we likely all know pretty well: the inner critic. The inner critic is: -- the one who is quick to point a finger and call out what you haven't done or don't do enough -- often the one who speaks to you in "shoulds"  -- sometimes louder than the kind, loving all-knowing inner wise advocate  -- typically a part that feels heavy, shameful or guilty.  This event is an environment where we will begin to play with the idea that we can call forward these parts, name them, and offer them a seat at the table so that we can have a conversation with them - without judgment. And that happens when we partner with the subconscious mind. Because the truth is: the more we take ownership of our subconscious, the more we create grace and compassion for the parts we do want to play even bigger roles in our lives. Doesn't that sound inviting?

S3 E9 | Mini-Episode: Up until now, you've been doing affirmations wrong. Here's how to supercharge your affirmation game!

Y'all. I have to apologize. I have been gate-keeping this golden nugget. And it is time for the world to write and speak better affirmations. You might be asking... what is an affirmation? and for reference, here are some "typical" AFFIRMATIONS: * I am worthy. * My body is sacred. * I have everything I need.  Amazing, great, we love it!! And what if I told you that THESE are ALSO AFFIRMATIONS: * "I have this terrible habit..." * “I go to bed way past my bedtime.” * “I need to watch Netflix at night to sleep.” * “I have no time or money.” This is why they say that our words are powerful and cast SPELLS because how we WORD things is AFFIRMING behavior.  And all of THAT brings us to our subconscious-micro-shifting nugget.  Tune into the episode to hear all the juicy details... and for my friends who learn visually, here is a summary:  So, how can SUPERCHARGE our AFFIRMATIONS:  1. It typically can BEST be heard in a sentence that indicated AWARENESS. 2. Literally STOP yourself and say, “let me phrase that differently.” POWER MOVE. Now people are listening. 3. Restart the Sentence, “up until now…” 4. Re-state the sentence IN THE PAST! Because you are now AFFIRMING that behavior as a PAST behavior; and 5. we have now left that sh!t behind.  MEET YOUR HOST: Mae Deevy is a Certified Hypnotist, Integrative Coach, Sound Healer & Host of "Stories from the Subconscious" Podcast.
