Imagine a life filled with happiness and purpose, where you are connected with the divine and perfect aspect of yourself, protected and guided by a loving angelic presence. Deep inside, you feel creative, passionate, and joyful — and all of that is reflected into every moment of your daily life.
In Seven Cups of Consciousness: Change Your Life by Connecting to the Higher Realms (New World Library, September 15, 2015), trailblazing spiritual teacher and author Aleya Dao shares how this kind of life becomes possible when you learn to consciously connect with the resources in the higher realms.
Her book outlines a step-by-step process built around the “Cups of Consciousness” that are designed to give readers access to other dimensions. The seven cups she offers are simple concepts, such as “You Live in an Multidimensional Reality,” “You Are Never Alone,” and “Your Challenges Can Help You Grow.” Energetic practices and audio meditations help readers release limiting patterns and gain access to a higher consciousness.
Dr. Pat: Wow! Hey,
everyone. Welcome. I want to welcome you to the Dr. Pat Show. This is Talk
Radio to Thrive By. I want to welcome you to Transformation Talk Radio.
And
for many of you that are listening, I'm not even sure of all of the places
you're listening from but thank you so much for doing that. We are so thrilled
about what it is that is being created here. And thank you for all of your
input and advice to help us create this.
Many,
many years ago, someone said to me, "You know what, if you can hang around
for about, I don't know, more than about nine minutes with the show and people
actually listen to it, you're going to really see a change in the impact of
Talk Radio." And you know what? I didn't even understand what that
actually meant. But today, I do. Thirteen years ago, when this started for us,
many of you know that through the amazement of our Seattle flagship station,
KKNW, now our WBLQ station, the home of Transformation Talk Radio and
TransformationRadio.fm, the bottom line to all of this is the audience and
listenership has grown exponentially.
It
is all of you that have figured out that this is really the way to plug-in and
change your life whether it's vibration or consciousness or saying yes to an
epic life, this is what we get to do together.
Great
show today, great. I want to just tell a little story about my guest, Aleya
Dao. And let me just say a little bit about this. I don't remember exactly how
I came across her music and her message and her meditations but I did and this
was several years ago.
And
what happened was I would just listen
and I must say I get stuck on a song, on a track, Benny, I get kind of stuck on
it and it's just right there for me. But I said to Linda this morning and maybe
we can drop a little clip of it in here kind of spontaneously, I said to Linda,
"You have to listen to one of the tracks that Aleya has presented us
with." And Linda said to me, "Well, why is that?" And I said,
"Well, just do me a favor and just listen for a minute. Just do me a favor
and listen." She said, "Okay, which one is it?" And I said,
"Listen to Awaken. Just listen to Awaken." And I said, "You
know, I think it was around when we were launching Transformation Talk Radio
back in 2009, 2010. That's when I first heard it."
And
so as we listen to this song, Benny, do you think we could play a little bit of
that, pop that up?
Benny: Sure.
Dr. Pat: So as in today
and we're going to play that song throughout, as in today, as a first time that
I listened to that song, it just brings tears to my eyes. Now, why is that?
Well, thank goodness that Aleya has written a fabulous book, Seven Cups of
Consciousness, but beyond all of that, we get to plug-in and get to listen to
her music and her meditations everyday.
For
those of you that are not familiar with her work, I will say to you, we're
going to make sure that you have the website as you listen to these songs and
the message of clearly this amazingly guided woman, you, too, will be able to
plug-in to a part of yourself that you may not actually understand because
there's a reason that folks call her a sound healer, an energetic practitioner,
a minister, someone that has gone out into the world then said, "I'm going
to understand what it's like to heal whether it's through oriental medicine or
acupuncture, it doesn't really matter." The word healer has been
absolutely, divinely appointed to who she is.
Aleya,
welcome to the show. It's great to have you here.
Aleya: Thank you
so much. It's an honor to be here.
Dr. Pat: I have to
tell you. I said to Linda, "Listen to that song." And I think around
2009, 2010 that's when I came across it and I don't even remember how. But I
want to start with that and the conversation as well as with the book because
there's something about sound healing that is hard to describe.
But
what do you make at the fact that every time, I know I have to tell you every
single time, I was a little reluctant to play that song during the show, it
brings tears to my eyes. I just don't know what to do with it. Maybe you can
get to enlighten me here.
Aleya: When I'm
singing, I'm actually hearing the angelic realm and literally repeating the
tones, the sounds, the words that they are bringing in from the higher realms
into this one. And I think about as my sort of greatest creative challenges,
"How can I experience what I experience in the higher realms and then
bring it in the most pure way with the least amount of distortion into this
physical plane and share it with others?"
So
I think what might be happening is it might be hitting a core within you where
you know that you are divine. You know that you're connected. You know that
some part of yourself is awakened in some realm and it's really speaking to
that part of you.
Dr. Pat: Wow! Have
you ever had anybody say that every time they listen to your song, they cry? I
mean, I have tried to listen to it and not cry and I will tell you, it is not
possible for me. So I just go with it now.
Aleya: Yes.
Dr. Pat: I just go
with it, right?
Aleya: You ride
the wave, right. Yes, people have definitely said to me that they cry. I
haven't heard the feedback of every time so that's going to be a new one that
I'll hold dear to my heart.
Dr. Pat: Every time.
Aleya: But exactly
the light language, too. Wow!
Dr. Pat: Yes.
Aleya: Wow!
Dr. Pat: Yes.
Well, let's talk about this and being divinely guided. And I love what you
said. What if you help folks with in your saying yes? What if you help folks
with in understanding the power of sound healing because we have talked recently
about the rise of the word energy to make the mainstream. And in fact, if
people are now understanding that more and more then isn't sound healing a form
of energetic healing as well?
Aleya: Absolutely.
And I think all of us are sound healers, we just don't realize it. When we hum
or when we talk or when we choose particular music, we are literally tuning
into a frequency of vibration that is somehow helping us in some way. Even
heavy metal rap helps [0:08:46] retrieve our responsibilities for their
lives so that they can stand on their own two feet when they walk out that
door.
Dr.Pat: For you,
this has been quite a journey. And I have to ask you a question that I ask just
about everybody. Here you are. We're going to talk about this incredible book
that you've written "Seven Cups of Consciousness – Change Your Life by
Connecting to the Higher Realms". What are the challenges? What are some
of the challenges, Aleya, some of the obstacles in your journey saying yes?
What are some of them that you've had to overcome to bring you to this very
moment right here now?
Aleya: Well,
I've been on the path of being a healer for almost my whole life which has been
an incredible gift, honor but also a challenge because as a healer, we
typically will hold high levels of empathic sensitivity, literally being able
to feel another person's pain, hear their thoughts, feel their emotions. And in
2001, I had an enlightenment experience where my awareness of other dimensions
skyrocketed and my empathic sensitivity blew through the roof. And so for the
first three to five years, after that enlightenment experience with that high
level of sensitivity, the greatest challenge was figuring out how to maintain
my sanity while perceiving multiple dimensions and feeling other people's pain.
And
then figuring out the solution to those challenges because anytime we're empathic
with someone, it's an indicator we have information that we need to send to
them vibrationally. And when we send that information, we hold the faith space
then the empathic sensitivity goes away. And it's also a great mechanism for
cultivating compassion.
So
those first five years after that enlightenment experience was a vertical climb
in the compassion department and discernment as well. So I would have to say that
empathic sensitivity has been my greatest challenge but at the same time, my
greatest teacher.
Dr. Pat: Well, and
it's really interesting that some people say, "What doesn't kill us makes
us stronger." I mean, I heard that this morning. I was out this morning at
a very early morning meeting and I heard that this morning, "What doesn't
kill us makes us stronger." And I thought, "Has that been true for
me?" And the answer is yes.
So
what I've come to and talking with you today is I certainly don't want to put
myself on the edge of that pain, right? I don't want to always continue to put
myself on the edge of having to burn something off, die something off. And so
what I love for you to talk about is how do we set ourselves up in a way where
we're consciously walking through a
higher vibration so that even if we are singularly challenged with, let's say,
perceived life threatening experiences, how we respond to them will be
different.
Aleya: I love
that question. That is such a huge piece that it's like we have challenges in
our life and I think of Earth kind of like a gym. You come here to get
stronger. And when we're not conscious that we're spiritually growing,
evolving, cultivating more of our light, we will use struggle, pain, suffering,
illness, financial lack, aging, abandonment, you name it, trauma essentially,
to grow and evolve. That's going to be our weight set.
Then
when we get to a certain point in our evolution because we've been in so much
pain and the pain has literally woken us up to there's got to be another way
then we get to start consciously choosing how we want to cultivate very
particular vibrations inside ourselves like greater grace or connection or
strength or power, self-control or self-love. And I have a thing that I talked
about, that I wrote about, that's called the "flip it sheet" or the
"flip it section" and we do the opposite of what we're intending on
mastering until we reach a certain level of consciousness. And then we begin to
practise what we intend to master.
And
it's all focused on vibration and particular qualities that you hold within
you. And so as I'm in the place of lack, I'm actually trying to master an inner
abundance. Or if I'm the victim, my soul's attempting to master empowerment. If
I'm a place of fear, my soul's determined to master trust.
And
so we want to start flipping our challenges and then activating those
vibrations inside ourselves of the solution and also retrieving all
responsibilities for our growth and our evolution off of the outer world, off of
our relationships and our money and our body and holding that responsibility
deep inside and going, "You know what? I'm just going to use my higher
self and my energy fields and activate particular vibrations in my divine line,
river of light as a way to spiritually grow and evolve. I don't have to use the
outer experience.
Dr. Pat: Wow!
Aleya: So that
is kind of the route out of the journey of suffering.
Dr. Pat: Well, I
love the route. You know what? I'm saying, "Beat me up, Scottie" for
that one.
Aleya: Yes.
Dr. Pat: I'm one
of these people, and please jump in and tell me if I'm alone, I'm one of these
people that I have a hard time doing things myself. That's why I can't remember
which year but it was several years ago that I discovered your cups of consciousness
and the meditations that you email to people. I mean, this is amazing.
And
it was so wonderful to beget, to be able to get these meditations that could
pop-up. And all of a sudden now, I get to take a few minutes and get into a
place that is just peaceful and serene regardless of what I have going on. And
so now, here you are not just talking about the cups of consciousness but you
have a book that you've actually written, "Seven Cups of
Consciousness" and I would like to talk with you about that. But before we
do, I would love to give a copy of this book away. This is amazing.
Aleya: Thank
you.
Dr. Pat: For
those of you out there, first caller would love to receive a copy of the book.
1-800-930-2819. Mr. Benny will get your information. Aleya, the book itself is
just beautifully written but to understand what the seven cups are, it's just
incredible. How did this come to you? And it seems like the book has come now
after the meditations or had they kind of come together as an idea you're just
getting around to writing?
Aleya: I'm just
getting around to writing it because I needed a contract to motivate me. I
actually came up with the Seven Cups in 2004. And I was getting on a plane, my
husband, we're just dating at the time, and he said, "What are the concepts
that you teach and you talk about and what are the concepts that you use to
essentially change your entire reality in three years flat, three to four
years?"
And
so he asked me that question as I was getting on a plane, flying back to tell
you I had to see clients. And at 26,000 feet, I started pondering, "What
are the concepts that I use?" And literally, in three minutes, wrote down
these seven concepts.
You
live in a multi-dimensional reality. You're never alone. You can change your
inner world. Your challenges can help you grow. Your body is a nature spirit.
Your soul has wisdom and inner gifts. And you're perfect.
And
those seven sentences, so those seven concepts, I then took the next five or 10
years teaching them and sharing them in audio meditations, using them in my
sessions in a much more conscious way, kind of like a formula or a whole
template that helps people fully embody a higher consciousness as they sip on
all of those seven cups.
Dr. Pat: Wow! One of the things I was so eager to talk with
you about was, of course I have been aware of the cups of consciousness, but
now actually reading about what you have brought to the forefront about them was
a little different for me. And I wanted to ask you about you live in a multi-dimensional
reality. I want to start with the first cup if we could and ask you about this
idea of always knowing that something about us is not exactly singular.
And
what do I mean by that? I have to tell you, I have always been accused even as
a kid and then even in the corporate world, my performance reviews would say we
think she lives on another planet. Now, that was not so good.
Aleya: Like I'm
a multi-dimensional being. Oh, my God!
Dr. Pat: I used to
look at that and think there's something wrong with me. Now, I'm thinking,
"Boy, I'm certainly glad I've probably lived on another planet." But
what does this idea of a multi-dimensional reality mean to us in contemporary
times?
And
the reason I'm asking this question is because we now hear of children that are
coming in and to being classified as challenged, ADD, ADHD, autism. And I don't
know, my sense is that we are living in so many realms of energetic layers that
our lack of awareness disconnects us from the multi-dimensional reality but I
was reading this and about what you said about it. And I would love to hear
what your experience is about that and what it means to people.
Aleya: We live
in a physical dimension but I perceived that that's only 1% of our reality.
When we use our imagination or we dream or if we even close our eyes and bring
our awareness off of the physical plane into an inner plane, an inner realm, we
are starting to access other dimensions. And the children that are coming into
this world have an awareness of these other dimensions.
And
I'm going to rename ADD a dimensional doer. People who are ADD are holding more
of their awareness and other dimensions and doing. They're very active.
They
are working their butts off in this higher realm. And so the harder they're
working in the higher realms, the less energy and focus they'll have for the
physical plane. So, they look like they're distracted. But they're really not.
Dr. Pat: I know.
And let's talk a little bit about some of the other labels we have around
people. Being extraordinary sensitive and I don't know what else to say but
sensitive to different layers of energy. See, I think those of us that have
been categorized as, "She's a bit sensitive." We've taken on the
burden of a stigma.
And
when I hear you say and also reading about in your book is that, "Wait a
minute, empathic sensitivity in your teen. Hallelujah! I don't have to do this alone, Aleya. Can you
talk a little bit about this because now we're, I'm jumping around a little bit
but I want to say, now you're telling me I'm never alone. Hallelujah for that
because it's lonely out here.
Aleya: Well, as
children, we may have remembered that we had imaginary friends. They even
talked to my niece and my nephew who're eight and 10. And the 10-year old can
still feel a presence and he has a name for one of his team members.
And
so our team is actually with us 24/7 and they come in to this world with us.
They are standing around us in another dimension. They are not aspects of
ourselves or soul fragments. They are their own little being, standing next to
you in their energy body. And they can actually buffer energy, they can support
you, they can moderate energy to you, they can gather information.
And
actually in the book I talk about when I was learning how to fly a plane, I had
my team go and become master pilots in another dimension and come back the next
morning so that I could actually master landing. And it worked. And so when we
use our team, we feel this greater sense of protection and support and that
feeling of being alone here in the world, it goes away, when you start
connecting with your team, when your team are connected to themselves as well
and remembering their appropriate positions.
Dr. Pat: Well, I
wonder why I ask you a couple of questions about the meditation if I can. I
know that we're talking about the book. And by the way, I just want to tell
everybody out there, I know that you're pinging me about am I going to give
another copy of the book away?
Well,
Aleya is. Actually, we have three copies to give away. And the phones have been
jumping off the hooks for the book. So let's go. Let us go ahead and do this
before the break if we can.
I'd
love to give another copy of the book away. Aleya would love to pay this for.
1-800-930-2819. And we're going to take a break and as we go to break in a
little bit, we'll play the songs.
But
right now, I want to ask you a question. I mentioned the meditation. Now, I
would like to ask you about the meditation because Aleya, I've been doing this
13 years and I have enormous amount of opportunity to plug-in to meditations
that some people have, some people are doing daily, weekly or whatever. I have
never really been as affected by a meditation, a message, a sound as I have
been by yours, receiving these cups of consciousness.
I
would love for you to talk these daily meditations and then we're going to let
folks know how they can get their daily meditation. But what do you make of
what I'm saying to you?
Aleya: I think
the peace that's coming through is that with the meditations, I'm talking
directly to your higher self, your energy self not your mind. And as I focused
on your higher self, your energy self, I'm inviting the higher self of each
individual that's listening to use their own energy fields to bring in their own
particular vibrations, qualities, sacred shapes, light, sound that helps them,
supports them, empowers them, moves them into greater clarity whatever it is
that's appropriate. And so I think when we shift our own self as opposed to
someone shifting us, we hold it, we maintain it and we bring it in much deeper
than when someone else is doing something to us.
So
I am kind of, energetic snob or I don't want anyone doing anything to me. It's really
important for me to hold my power and be in control of my own experience. And
so I extend that same courtesy to everybody and would never dream of doing
anything to another person and some place sending information and modelling
right energy which creates strong coherent field of positive empathic, it's a
positive empathic experience.
And
so if I'm holding a vibration of self-love and I invite you to hold a vibration
of self-love in your own unique way, you then start to do it at a much deeper,
more profound level than as someone doing something to you. So I think that
that is the key peace with all of the works that I do.
Dr. Pat: Well, I
would love for you to tell folks how they can find out more about receiving
these daily meditations. And also, if we could just take a minute with you
explaining to folks about what these beautiful cups of consciousness are, what
they're going to receive. And by the way, beyond the daily cups, you can get a
tall cup. You can get a tall cup.
Can
you talk to folks how they can do this because I was telling you during the break
that I have my computer set on auto so I get to hear your music like boom right
away. But for folks that don't know how to get these daily meditations, please
tell them how.
Aleya: They can
go to cupsofconsciousness.com or aleyadao.com, A-l-e-y-a-d-a-o.com and you can
get a free trial week of the daily cups and they'll actually come for seven
mornings to your email. You can also get the app that we created in the iTune
stores called the cups of consciousness, the free app and it gives you access
to your free week. And the free week is really an introduction to some of the
concepts.
Then
after a free week, if it resonates and it's your cup of tea, you can subscribe
to the daily cups and I share them with subscribers one, three or five times a
week so you can choose. You might want to just get one on Monday or you might
want to get Monday, Wednesday, Friday or five days a week and then I take the
weekends off to rest and reboot.
And
they are audio meditations with sound healing, energetic protocols that are
like prayers, really speaking to your higher self to help you shift. And you
can listen to them sitting in silence or you can listen to them while you are
opening up other email or multi-tasking because the work is for your higher
self, your energy fields. Your mind actually doesn't have to listen to it in
order for you to get the full effect.
Dr. Pat: I love
this. And you know what I read in the book and we're going to talk about this
when we come back, you can change your inner world. I read in the book a term
that I had not heard before and one of the things you were talking about is I
think and I'll quote you directly, "My soul is exhausted." Boy, do I
have a sense of that thing? What does that even mean?
Okay,
when we come back, you can change your inner world. Right now, I would love all
of you out there to enjoy this beautiful, beautiful music. We're going to play
a little bit extra of it so here you go. We'll be right back with Aleya Dao.
Wow!
Welcome back, everyone. Aleya Dao joining me here today. And you know what, I'm
just saying to folks, "Absolutely." We've got a third copy of the
book to give away. And I want to make sure that we give Benny plenty of time to
do this.
And
we have a track from one of the later songs that Aleya has done. And Benny's
got that. We're going to play that up in a little bit. But before we do, let's
go ahead and give out your website again. Can folks go to
cupsofconsciousness.com? Is that the best place to go, Aleya?
Aleya: That is
the best place to go to get a free trial week of the daily cups or a tall cup
session. And it's cupsofconsciousness.com.
Dr. Pat: So how do
folks get a copy of your book because this is like cut off the press?
Aleya: They can
go to Amazon or Barnes and Noble. And the New World Library also sells it and
you can even ask your local bookstore because we love supporting local
bookstores to carry some of the books.
Dr. Pat: Yes, and
for those of you out there, this is really a look it. Seven Cups of
Consciousness, Change Your Life by Connecting to the Higher Realms. Before we just
jump ahead, so the book includes some meditations. Tell us a little bit about
that.
Aleya: It does.
It actually has 12 audio meditations on a link that's in the book and it gives
you access to resources like particular images and also my descriptions of
those, audio meditations that walk you through each concept that I explain in
the book so that you can fully embody it. You can energetically feel it because
from my perspective, these concepts are not exactly mainstream yet.
And
so when we let our higher self and our energy fields feel the concept then our
mind understands it at a much deeper level. And so these audio meditations are
designed specifically for your energy fields to understand the concepts. And
then the book helps you understand it at the mental level.
Dr. Pat: Awesome.
I love this. For those of you out there, I want to also mention that you can
receive these meditations. And yes, we have smart phone apps. You can get them
in your emails which I love to do because when I get this meditation that comes
to my email, before I look at any, any, any, any, any other emails, this is the
one I get and it is transformative for me.
Aleya,
thank you so much for today. Benny, let's go ahead and give a third copy of the
book away so we'll have time to play another song. 1-800-930-2819 to the first
caller.
All
right, I know we're not going to get to everything today pretty much but I had
to talk with you about change your inner world, the third cup. Change your
inner world. We are so connected, Aleya, and you know this.
I'm
just talking about a daily meditation that we can get on our smart phone. We
are connected to the outer world now, right? And so, I think we lose sight that
we even have an inner world. What are we at risk of by losing sight of that?
Aleya: Well,
we'll experience a core issue which is abandonment, fear of rejection, not
being approved of, not being loved and then a lack of self-worth. And then that
takes a hit on the self-love factor which enables you to receive and be in a
state of connection and love. And so the good thing about our outer world is
that it is training us to go for connection.
What
is everybody doing when they walk down the street? They've got their phones in
their hands. They are looking at it. They are texting. They are making phone
calls. They are checking email.
They
want connection. Great. We're getting it externally a little bit. And the more
we crave it eventually the process is to bring us deep within and start finding
our connection in what I call the inner river of light, divine line, front of
spine.
And
then the body has its own consciousness. And the body, too, wants greater
degrees of connection. And they can go into its energetic river to feel that
connection, same for the team.
And
so I think of the outer world and all of the little nuggets for connection and
happiness that are being held externally as just a process and eventually as we
evolve will go in to get our resources instead of out.
Dr. Pat: One of
the things you talk about in the book which I had really never heard of was
this inner commitment. And I think you refer to it as growing your inner
commitment. And I thought to myself when I read that then I had to go back and
read it again. Wow! I don't think we even think about having an inner
commitment.
Aleya: No, not
to the light that blows within us, right? We commit to our job, we commit to
our partner, our children, everything that we love but we don't think about
really being committed to the connection and to the light that flows within us
and when we make that our number one commitment, then we're actually able to
show up with discernment in a balanced way.
We're
not martyrs. We're not co-dependent. And so I learned that by the hard way,
betrayal, right? It's like people betrayed me. Guys betrayed me. But why was
that? Where was I betraying myself? Where was I not fully, 100% committed, to
my own connection, to my own essence, to my own light?
Dr. Pat: Well, you
know, here's the thing. We started the show kind of with me asking a question
about some of the challenges, obstacles you've had to overcome. And then we go
and as I continue to read the book, and by the way, I love the way you've
written the book. You have taken, in my opinion, some of the more complex ideas
about life and spirituality and how to thrive in the world.
And
through the Seven Cups you presented a way of understanding that not only
invites healing but helps people with a bit of hand-holding along the way. And
I love to call that, that's your spiritual grip that we love to have. We love
that spiritual grip so that we don't have to white-knuckle our way through
life, right?
Aleya: Right or
am I going the right way? Is this the right path?
Dr. Pat: And my
God, right the very nature of that question, it gives me a hot flush, just
saying right through. You know that's not a pretty picture. But one of the
things you talk about is discerning your challenges.
And
I looked at that and I said, "Now, I don't know what she means by
that?" So I'm probably in denial. So do you want to talk a little bit
about what discerning your challenges means because it sounds like we got to
start there?
Aleya: Well, if
we think about our challenges that are in the outer world, it's simply a
reflection of a particular vibration we want to attain inside but we haven't
yet. So we could take that spin on the commitment, right? Like let's say,
somebody betrays you in your outer world or they're not being honest with you,
they're being out of integrity, now we bring it deep inside and we go,
"Okay, if I'm triggered and upset by this outer situation, that is
key."
There
can be things that happen in your life that you're not upset by, that means you
have no work there. That's just their stuff. That's their issue. But if you're
triggered and upset by an external situation that is in your life that has
shown up, that is an indicator that somewhere inside, your soul is determined
to attain a very particular vibration. That is the solution.
That
sort of talks about what we were talking about earlier about how do you use
your challenges and see you're going to discern your challenges by looking at
your outer world kind of like the cards on the table. Then you're going to
bring your awareness into this inner river of light, divine line what you're
connecting with internally at an energetic level and you're going to locate
where inside you you are ready to commit more deeply to yourself or being in
greater integrity with your own light or be in a deeper level of connection
with your light or love or respect to the light that flows within you. So our
outer world can be a really great indicator, reference point, cards on table to
help us know what it is we want to shift, need to shift inside ourself.
Dr. Pat: Wow! It
is about the journey, isn't it? As a matter of fact, Benny's got that ready to
play. I would love to play a little bit of this song that you've sent us. And
then tell us a little bit about it before we queue it up here.
Aleya: It's The
Sage's Journey.
Dr. Pat: Yes.
Aleya: Is that
the one? Yes.
Dr. Pat: Yes.
Aleya: This is
actually off of the Light Body Sound Healing album that sounds true picked up
and you can get that, too on Amazon. And it's a beautiful album that I created
when I was missing the other side. And I wanted to have music that would, it's
kind of like you know you're in camp and you really miss your parents and they
send you a care package and you go, "Oh." So this is my care package
that I made for myself and then shared with others to help us feel that angelic
connection.
Dr. Pat: Awesome.
Mr. Benny, it's all you.
Oh,
that is absolutely beautiful. Aleya, how does that feel for you to hear and
just be listening to your music?
Aleya: Honestly,
I listen to my music a lot. And so anytime I feel like I've lost my center or I
do miss the angelic realm or I want to connect with my guides more deeply, I
actually play it in the car or I play it in the evening and it just kind of
brings me back to that place of center.
So
everything that I create, I create really more for me to help me maintain a
high vibration and stay really clear and then maybe other people will resonate
with it. But that way, I stay in integrity with the work because if I like it
then maybe other people will, too.
Dr. Pat: It's
interesting we're talking about this because I started this in 2003 by dialling
a wrong phone number and not hanging up. Within 10 minutes I bought my first
hour of airtime.
Aleya: Wow!
Dr. Pat: And then
three weeks later, yes, KKNW get a hold of me and called me and said,
"Hey, you're not going to believe this. We have five days a week open."
I did it again.
Same
thing with WBLQ and Transformation Talk Radio as Hugh helping a friend launch
his network. And then he literally disappeared. And Chris called me and said,
"Do you want to start in network?"
And
I want to ask you about this because one of the things you talk about is you
talk about receiving your soul's gifts. Now, clearly, I did not lay out a
business plan. I did not cross the Ts and dots the Is, I had a crust-busting
card and it said that I wanted to reach a million people this year to bust
through the crust and live life full out. This is what's spirit delivered.
Can
you tell me and all of us about what is the preparation required so that we can
actually, first of all, hear what the soul is telling us and then receiving it
because those are two different things for me personally. Being open and
hearing something or seeing something or feeling something but then I've got to
receive it. I would love for you to talk about because that's the sixth cup.
Aleya: It is. it
is the sixth cup and I think it's important for people to remember that if
they're listening to your show, they are focused on consciously shifting,
growing and evolving, being a better being, coming into this world and doing
what we came here to do which is to make this world a better place which means
there was some prep involved before people even got here into this world.
And
so the soul gifts that I talk about are all of these vibrations and qualities
and mastery and wisdom that we spent lifetime cultivating. And I think it's
important to remember that what we're doing here in this life didn't start on
day one of this life. It started a long, long, long, long time ago. And so when
we vibrationally feel those gifts, own them, embrace them and start using them
instead of putting our gifts on other people or thinking other people's gifts
are better than our own.
We
then move into appropriate action. For you, you inspire, right? You like
support. You ask questions. There's this whole curiosity piece. And then that
gets other people triggered to, "Well, how could my life be better? How
could I use all of those gifts that I do have within me at an energetic level
far beyond the mind?"
And
so when I think about even what I'm doing, well, I don't have a master's or a
PhD in psychology but I remember many, many, many incarnations of sitting with
people and helping them understand why they have created the challenges that
they have and how they can use those challenges to grow and evolve in a more
gentle, graceful, joyful way.
So
I think it's about really recognizing our own innate wisdom and then moving forward with that and following our
desires, listening to the intuition, flowing things down so that we can hear.
Dr. Pat: Wow!
First of all, this hour is zipping. It's just zipping right by.
Aleya: I know.
It's flowing things down right.
Dr. Pat: I know. I
wanted to say to everybody. If you want to find out more, if you want to sign
up for the daily cups of consciousness, the daily meditations, go to the
website, cupsofconsciousness.com, lots of information.
I
would literally regret not talking about the seventh cup and so I'm glad we
have a few minutes to do that. Out of all of them, all of what you presented in
the book, this particular one, you are perfect, I think is one of the greatest
challenges we have in living in the outer world.
And
I guess I wasn't surprised to see it in the book. But to really grasp and
embrace the idea that you are perfect might in fact be one of the greatest
challenges we have in this day and age. Can you talk about not only why this is
important but also why it's very paradoxical? It's paradoxical in so many ways,
isn't it?
Aleya: It is,
and if you said to somebody, "Hi, how are you?" And they say,
"I'm perfect." It's like, "Well, not really." Right? We
have that belief system. Or, "How do you feel about yourself?"
"Oh, I think I'm perfect." There could be a little bit of arrogance
that some people could perceive.
But
what I'm really talking about is that every single one of us is a beam of
light. We are having a human experience. We're actually not our bodies. We're
not the horse we ride. We're not the car we drive. We are this beam of light
and when we're done with this world, we will take our beam of light, we lift it
off the front of the spine and we'll go back over to the other world.
Don't
do this now unless you want to unplug and go back to the other world. You want
to firmly attach yourself to that front, to the front of your spine and use
your inhale to pull yourself into this inner river of light. And when you're
holding your awareness in this inner river of light, in that place you are
perfect, nowhere else.
So
if the only place you look for your perfection is in your inner river of light,
also your safety, your connection, your power, your control, really in truth,
this is the only thing that we can control. It's the vibration that flows in
our divine line, river of light, front of spine. And when we really get connected
to that then we do feel this beautiful divine perfection and we're then able to
move forward in our life and interacting, connect with people from that more
authentic place.
But
we don't have to love our belief systems, our behaviors, our accomplishments,
our body or what we do or where we're going, just the river of light and then
everything gets so much clearer, so much easier.
Dr. Pat: Well, you
know for many of us, we do want to do this with other people and do it with
ourselves. Now, you also, you know I know that you and I were talking during
the break. You know how often you travel, where you go to, what you do.
You
also work with individuals as well as do group work and workshops. And I wanted
to ask you, please tell us how folks can find out more about this. And I guess
my question is what are you sensing from a theme if there is one for people?
Aleya: For 2015,
the rest of 2015 or 2016?
Dr. Pat: 15.
Aleya: 15.
Dr. Pat: Yes, we
haven't wrapped that one up yet.
Aleya: Yes. No,
we haven't. We've still got a few more months this year.
Dr. Pat: Uh-oh.
Aleya: So in
terms of people working with me, I do do one on one sessions over the phone,
Skype and I'm not taking that many people in person just because my practice is
so booked out. I'm booked out about three to four months for new clients. And
I'm putting more and more of my energy into the creation of music, sound
albums, maybe another book, we'll see, promoting this book and doing the talk
apps which are every three weeks and an hour-long energy balancing session
live, online and over the phone.
And
so people can check those things out if they want. And then I've also recorded,
oh my gosh, I think it's now 1,300 audio meditations better online because I
started in 2009 so I've been a little busy but a ton of resources for people.
And my whole perspective is gather the tools so that you can shift you and then
you don't need me. It's like carry on but here's the formula that you can use
that will help you shift your life in a way in which you intend.
In
terms of 2015, if I look at the energy of that and actually those daily cups
that I do, I'm everyday looking at the energetic weather that's coming on to
the planet and recording these meditations that really support you in using the
energetic weather and your energy fields to help you shift, grow and evolve. But
if I look at the months, the rest of September, October, November, December, it
feels like there's this empowerment current coming on to the planet for the
next four months.
Like
how do we want to be really supported as we grow and evolve? And so the focus,
I'm just looking at where it turns, right around the 26th, 27th
of September, the energy starts to really focus on the roots. We're going to
Mercury retrograde September 17th and I love Mercury retrograde.
Dr. Pat: I do,
too.
Aleya: Because
it's the time to clean out, reboot. The energy of time actually slows down so
you can get more done during Mercury retrograde. And it almost feels like a
time to revisit, how do we want to be supported in the world? What do we want
our root to be filled with at a vibrational level? Do we want greater
empowerment or courage or self-control or self-love, beauty, joy?
There
is a peace I really want to speak to because I just got this insight yesterday.
So many people are financially struggling in their life. And what I think has
happened is I was at lunch with some friends and this friend said, "Hey,
did you know that all the way up until the 1950s they were still using Carrie
beads as money?" And she pulled up this Carrie bead and she's like,
"Oh, it's so beautiful."
And
I started looking at the energy of it and go and I said, "Oh, my
God!" The piece that's gotten disconnected from money is beauty. We used
to look at shells or gems or gold and it's so beautiful which has this love
vibration and I want to create more beauty and connection and love in the
world.
And
so if you think about what you want to do with money which is a major support
system, the right root resources, hold the vibration of beauty in the roots and
that will then help us rework how we are supported in the world and then how we
can serve and how we can actualize our greatest potential.
I
love your opening line of your show of how can you live a life where you're not
even afraid to fail.
Dr. Pat: That's right.
Aleya: Like how
can it be so incredible and successful? I'm not getting it correctly but it's
that essence of it.
Dr. Pat: What
would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?
Aleya: Right. I
love that.
Dr. Pat: Yes.
Aleya, thank you so very, very much. I love the book and I love you. Thank you
so much for all that you do.
Aleya: Thank
you.
Dr. Pat: Oh, my
gosh! Benny, thank you for masterfully producing this show today. And thanks to
all of you out there, that you are the inspiration for me as you are for so
many. And so remember we, too, get to change our lives. We, too, get to sip
from the Seven Cups of Consciousness.
