Welcome to Belief, being and Beyond with your host, Granddaughter Crow. Hi everybody, granddaughter Crow here and it's time for another episode of Belief, being and Beyond, and I've got something very special for you today. Today I have Terri Ann Heiman and it is going to be so amazing. I have been on Terri's show, the Empowered Spirit show, and you know what Terry does. She sets sacred space for the show and the guest. So, as a host and honor to her, I am going to do the same thing. So awesome everybody, wherever you are. So awesome everybody, wherever you are. Just take a deep breath and relax into this space, into this time. I'm going to draw a circle around this space, around this time, declaring this space as sacred space, and this time as a very sacred time, I'm going to set my ego to the outside so that I can be a clear conduit to bring forth spirit. In this podcast, as we have a wonderful discussion on bridging spirituality and work, let the divine, as it reveals itself to you, bring messages to you, whether it's through our voices or whether it's through something that we say that inspires you. So let's get started.
Granddaugnter Crow:Terri Ann Hyman is an interfaith minister and spiritual counselor, a Reiki master, teacher, soul reader, author, speaker and podcaster. Like I said, I've been on her podcast dedicated to supporting women navigating challenging transitions such as divorce or new beginnings and or whatever we are going through at this point in time. So through her empowered spirit programs, she equips them with the essential tools and techniques to rebuild their confidence and reconnect with their inner wisdom. People, that's so important Our inner wisdom. We get a lot of external counsel, which is wonderful, but let it lead to our inner wisdom. We may talk a little bit about that.
Granddaugnter Crow:Moreover, terri has been featured on ABC and has contributed to multiple articles to Reiki News Magazine. Her debut book this is going to be fun. We won't talk about it. We may mention it a little bit. But Confessions of a Shower Tapper right, the Ultimate Guide to Living your Purpose through EFT it's available on Amazon and in 2024, she was written about in the Woman's World magazine and was contributing author to Freddie Silva's book Portals Energetic Doorways to Mystical Experiences Between Worlds. She also hosts the Empowered Spirit podcast show, the Empowered Spirit Podcast Show, etc. Etc and so forth. I could go on and on and on, but let's bring Terri Ann Hyman on. Say hi to everybody, terri.
Terri Ann Heiman:Hi, so grateful to be here. Thank you so much.
Granddaugnter Crow:Oh, absolutely Absolutely. What a wonderful time to be able to connect with other spiritual practitioners and to bring this information to the community so that they can be empowered In a world that we're living in, 2025 United States. Need I say more? We really need to? I don't know. For me, it's like I have to shift a little. I have to get more tools or really open up my tools, but really always remember not to hide my spirit and to actually bring it into my day-to-day activities. There's a whole saying we're so spiritually minded that we're no earthly good, and I'd love to hear your thoughts about how we bridge spirituality into our day-to-day activity, into our work life.
Terri Ann Heiman:Terry, yeah, it is such an important thing right now. It really is, so I thank you for that. I find that so often we're just so busy, we're running around, we forget that we have this beautiful spiritual presence, we get caught in our ego, we don't take the time to set it aside like you did for us, right, and so we're just too busy. And also too many of us, you know, get a little bit like I can't say that, or I can't tell them that they hide the tarot cards in their desk, yet they want to read them, they want to use them. And even the word intuition, like you can say, maybe trust your gut, but use intuition. And it's like oh, no, too, woo. But I think that we really have to embrace where we are right now, that we need these tools. We really do. And, like you said, here we are in the United States.
Terri Ann Heiman:Things are a little wonky right now and we're feeling a lot of disruption. We are, whether it's in your workplace, whether it's at home, whether it's in the whole political environment, everywhere, and so it is. It's a really hard time, you know what? It's also hard to know who to trust you, and so it is. It's a really hard time. You know what. It's also hard to know who to trust. You know all the digital stuff going on.
Terri Ann Heiman:I know I got hacked recently. It's like oh my gosh, and I thought I was like correcting it and I was making it worse. So there's so much out there and there was something inside of me that kept saying get off the phone, get off the phone, get off the phone. And luckily I finally just said OK, I've heard this three times in a row in my head off the phone, right, and yes. Then I found the correct people to call and caught it in time. But it is a crazy world out there and if we don't bring our tools, wholeheartedly, our whole self, to work to everything we do, it's going to be even harder.
Granddaugnter Crow:Yeah, I 100% agree with that. And you know, there's also like little scaresT-C-H, which I love them, all of those people. It's almost like the community is having these little conversations around. What do I say and like? So, as a spiritual leader, as an empowered spiritual leader who empowers other people, what is the stance that you would take in encouraging people at this moment to be able to do those things, put those works in practice? How do we?
Terri Ann Heiman:keep our voice. So important to keep our voice, especially right now. It really is such a great point, granddaughter. So I think the first and foremost thing that we can do is to be able to take the pause, especially when so much reaction energy is going on. It's like take the pause, take a deep breath, because right there we can begin to change whatever's going on within us which is going to help us around us, and when we take that pause, we can connect to our spirit. I think that's first and foremost.
Terri Ann Heiman:I know I was in a meditation prior to this today and with my tultic group, right, and so it's like what is that message for me coming? And the very message was to continue to slow down, because I slow down and get the messages. And the other part of it, of that message, was that you'll feel the joy in life, right, because there's so much going on. It's like, oh, it's so much reaction. Reaction, oh, my gosh, I can't believe. Can't believe. First of all, we don't know what's going to happen, and if we all lose ourselves to that reaction energy, there's a lot of anger, there's a lot of fear and there's a lot of anxiety in the cosmic field. So we have to do our job, to stay grounded. So, no matter where you're showing up at work, in a meeting, with a relationship, being really grounded, really present I like to say call in the higher self to keep you in that alignment. I know that's what I need to do. All right, higher self, we're going to walk together, we're going to kind of go through that right so that we can show up.
Terri Ann Heiman:Now, one of the things that I kind of fight, but yet it really is a valuable thing to think about, is that we do have to use the language of, say, corporate if you're in the corporate world especially. But sometimes you have to change your language a little bit so that you don't come off sounding too quote-unquote and I don't like this word, but I'll say it too-woo right. So we sometimes have to use their language, yet we don't have to change how we feel and how we believe right. So maybe we don't always get to say, oh, trust your intuition, but you certainly can say trust your gut, right.
Terri Ann Heiman:So we might have to use a little bit of that language, especially as women, because it's so easy for us to be talked over right and to be taken advantage of or for someone to say you know your idea after you said it, but nobody's listening. But when we can just stay in that sense of grounding that was a big message for us today too it's like just be grounded constantly. You know, down south here I am right now in Alabama and we have a little saying. Maybe you have it too buckle up buttercup. We need that sensitivity and beauty of the buttercup, but yet we need the strength to be grounded in mother earth right now.
Granddaugnter Crow:Yeah, I love that because, oddly enough, I was in meditation this morning and I got the same message. And this morning I up at 3:33 you know, and I remember I woke up and I was like, oh, I want to light a candle with some incense, I want to breathe. I didn't have like prayer requests and da, da, da, da da. I was just like. So I got a little tea light candle I have them on hand Lit. Got a little tea light candle I have them on hand, lit it little stick of incense. And I just sat in the stillness of 3.33 in the morning, which is a very special time, and I heard breathe. Pay attention to your body. What do you need right now? What do you want? And I'm like to breathe. And I love that message about taking the pause, because what happens when we react versus proact, terry, what happens?
Terri Ann Heiman:when we react versus proactact, we tend to get all over the place, we get into blame, we get into pointing that little finger, right, and we really don't take responsibility for our own energy, which is, first and foremost, really important, right? Yeah, so it can be such a simple thing, like before you start your meeting. It's like let's just take a moment and everybody pause, take a breath, let's join our energy. That doesn't sound too meeting. It's like let's just take a moment and everybody pause, take a breath, let's join our energy. Now, it doesn't sound too woo, but it's taking a moment.
Terri Ann Heiman:And what are we doing? We're bringing all the consciousness, just like you do with that beautiful sacred circle all around us, is bringing all that energy together versus jumping right in and everybody's in a different place and everybody's scrolling and not even present. Then we can all be present to what it is and we're going to be more focused. We're going to get things done quicker, better. Yeah, so it really is simple things like that that we can do to show up really in that idea that we are spirit and we bring this together. We don't have to leave it at home. We can show up fully in who we are.
Granddaugnter Crow:I like that you talk about. You might have to change the language a little bit and you know, honestly, I do that when I'm talking one on one to different people from different places, you know I'll be like, oh, how do you say it in your language? So it's not like I am surrendering or discounting myself, but I love this idea. I used to work in international corporate America for like 12 years and but I could see walking into a meeting, a corporate meeting, with all types of people and maybe even leading the meeting and saying, oh wow, it's so great to be here with you. Now we are going to focus all of our energy, all of our attention onto this topic. Let's be creative and dynamic and get some things done. That's a prayer in itself, wouldn't you?
Terri Ann Heiman:think, oh, I so agree. I love that, yes, because it is it's meeting them where they are, it's using their language, yet we're taking that time to be present.
Granddaugnter Crow:Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I think that, depending on what age group you are, yeah, you know, I think that, depending on what age group you are, people I'm a Gen X, so when I was growing up, the world was a little bit different, but you know a lot of people in that generation and maybe even in younger generations.
Granddaugnter Crow:It would be like Sunday church, that's it A couple hours. Then you could go out for fried chicken or whatever you know, and segregating this idea of spiritual thinking, spiritual food for the soul, through a two-hour window on a Sunday morning, after your Saturday night that you've been staying up late watching movies, netflix, whatever you're doing, and spreading that concept over to go, like you said, I am spirit and I'm going to show up, not just on Sunday from 10 till 12 or 930 to 1130 and then you can hit the buffet, but to do it every single day. How can we do things like that? What are some tangible practices that we could remind ourselves on a day-to-day basis to breathe or stay center, that we can integrate into our life, even if we're in corporate America, in the Bible belt? I think there's so many ways and you know what.
Terri Ann Heiman:I have to kind of giggle a little bit because I, even if we're in corporate America, in the Bible belt, I think there's so many ways. And you know what? I have to kind of giggle a little bit because I don't even think it's once a day. We need to meditate right now, or taking one pause, I think it's multiple times. Right, and just starting to make that habit, like, okay, before I go to work, before I turn on my computer, as my computer's turning on, let me just take a moment and presence my energy. And we ask myself, you know, we ask ourselves like, okay, where's my mind today? How many thoughts, is it busy? Breathe, what are my emotions? What am I feeling? Because if I'm not aware of how I'm feeling, any reaction is not going to be fair. Right, where's my body doing? Like, where am I stuck? Where am I tense? Where's the pain? And we also ask, like, where's my spirit? How am I today? And it doesn't take long, I'm not saying we have to spend a half hour, three hours, anything like that. No, within five minutes you can do that and center, then go to work. I mean, it's like a place of here. Now let me go to work and then perhaps you've got all this stuff going on, you're brought in a lot of people's energy in the middle of the day and the same thing may be at lunch, before you start again. And I even say before you go home, like gratitude okay, I'm done for the day. I'm leaving this here because then that's going to help you not take it with you and then all that, whatever aggravation, anxiety, stress you had at work, do you really want to go home with that?
Terri Ann Heiman:You know, I lived in New York for many years. That's where I did most of my education, raised my kids, and I would ride the Long Island Railroad back and forth and I was in the jewelry industry and I would be like sometimes like, oh, my gosh, platinum, and oh, did I mess it up? And I'd be in tears and I'd leave and I'd get on the train. Take that pause, be really grateful for these hands, right, what I was creating, but also to run a little Reiki and by the time I would get home I was ready for my kids. I didn't have all that stuff Right, and I think we need to be really mindful when we do that. And maybe that means for you between meetings, between different contracts you're working on or different relationships that you have, right?
Terri Ann Heiman:I know one of my clients was telling me oh my gosh, I use one of the techniques Like what do you mean? She goes. Everybody was like kind of talking over everybody, nobody was listening. I just said, said hey, wait a minute, let's all take a breath, and everybody got quiet. So there we go, we redirect the energy, we come back to center. Rather, right, all that discord is another better word for it, I don't think. But right, so I think it's things like that.
Terri Ann Heiman:Now there are other tools. I mean even, like you mentioned, tapping. Tapping is an amazing tool. It works on the mid to the brain, lowers cortisol and immediately it can bring your stress level down and bring you right back into the present, overwhelm, anxiety, anything and it's just simple points that you tap on and that will help you to calm and center right.
Terri Ann Heiman:Taking breaths, using Reiki I use Reiki all the time, just even sitting there, like I said, on the train, you wouldn't even know what I was doing, right. Just like, oh my gosh, right. So these are tools you can learn for yourself, which is really what I've based my practice on empowering you so that you don't always have to just come to me, right, it's great what people did right and I might have a better practice. Right, I am empowering you to take these tools and learn them for yourself and then, every day, you can show up with them. We need them, and you know what? Honestly, science is proving everything that we, as spiritualists, talk about right now. They're showing it. They're showing in the brain, they're showing scans. You can see the difference pre-meditation after meditation, pre-reiki after Reiki, especially tapping right, the tapping solution. They have so many now documented scans of the brain to show the results.
Terri Ann Heiman:And now even you know your watches, your smart watches. You can even do that with your smart watch and see that heart rate change. Yeah.
Granddaugnter Crow:Wow, I love that. So talk I mean, I haven't had anybody on the show yet talk about tapping. And here at Belief, being and Beyond, we have a very widespread audience and I love to bring different belief systems so that we can figure out what we want to. You know, you know our little buffet of oh, that sounds good. So can you? You wrote a book about tapping, would you? I did.
Terri Ann Heiman:Yeah, all the confessions the shower Confessions of a shower tapper. Yes, you mentioned I'm an interfaith minister, so confess I can. I kept confessing, saying, ok, I tap in the shower, I confess. And one of my teachers and mentors, ted Robinson, who is no longer in body, he said that's a great title for a book. I'm like, okay, I'm doing it, but that's kind of where it came from. But it's 21 issues. I was gonna look for a picture 21 issues really that we all go through to living our purpose. I can't do it. I'm not good enough. All my work stuck in my computer. No one loves me. All these different issues, but we do.
Terri Ann Heiman:We have these tapping points and I give them to you in the book. But Gary Craig, who was the one that really simplified emotional freedom technique, eft tapping, it's all similar names he figured out if we hit these certain points, we're getting all the points that we need works on the amygdala, which lowers cortisol, which brings us into the present and helps us to rewire our brain. So there's a little difference in this technique because we bring up the negative emotions. Now you hear people go, oh, I don't want to bring them up, no, no, but you know what, if they're stuck in us. We might as well bring them up. It's like the shadow, right, we want to bring them up, those taboo things, hello, right. And so when we bring them up and bring them out, we tap them until we don't have that charge on them anymore. Once we get that charge down, then we can rewire with the positive affirmations. But we can't really go positive if we're still charged, if we still have this like right, this energy to us. So it works on everything.
Terri Ann Heiman:I use it constantly, I really do whatever anxiety, fear right now. And you start to recognize. Sometimes you're like laugh, like, oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm doing this. It's so silly, you know. And then we get to the deep, rooted stuff through the tapping.
Terri Ann Heiman:Yeah, and there's a little setup phrase where you have to first acknowledge, right here at the karate chop point. It's an acknowledgement Like, even though I have this anxiety, I choose to love myself because we're acknowledging the right and left hemisphere, we're acknowledging the ego actually. So, even though I have this disruption, this shadow, I choose to accept where I am. And then you go point to point. Now, when you work with a practitioner, you know you're repeating and they're helping you to really go deep within yourself to what those old imprints are. And then I go a little further, working in past life through the Akashic realm, like what are the past life imprints that we keep going through. So you can go all that way even deeper and deeper. I'm doing some of my own deep work. Right now we're in the winter, we're in our ancestral energies and that deep visioning. So I'm working on some of those old, old imprints that are so deep inside seeing changes.
Granddaugnter Crow:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, TerriAnnHeiman. com, where you can find more of this wonderful information, and I will also have all of Terry's social media YouTube channel so many fun things. You know it's interesting, terry, because I have been having a little bit of stomach issues and I am trying to assign a story to it. I'm like, oh, did I eat something? Oh, nap ski again. So I take my little nap ski and I wake up and it's about 8.15 and I kind of wake up anxious. I just had anxiety and I'm like, why am I anxious?
Granddaugnter Crow:And my slow, paused mind the pause, not the reactive mind, but the proactive mind said to me why do you need to create a story around it? Why can't you just sit with the energy story around it? Why can't you just sit with the energy, just sit with it and allow it to move, and see what comes up and let it go. And see what comes up and let it go. It could be residual energy. You don't have to have a reason that you have to focus on all day long. And within 20 minutes I cycled that energy and I was like I know I'm going to be talking to Terry today and I know that she taps. So I'm like I just started tapping my pupils, so I don't even know what that means, but I was just tapping my pupils and within, like like I said, I cycled through the majority of it within about five to seven minutes, but the buildup and then the letdown took about 20 minutes. And now, I'm fine, what?
Granddaugnter Crow:would you say happened in that. What would you say about what I just said?
Terri Ann Heiman:Well, I think there's a couple of things. One I had a similar moment on Saturday when I came into the kitchen to get my coffee and I'd had a beautiful sleep I do a lot of meditation, waking up, similar right and I came in the kitchen and I was like what is wrong with me? Like I feel so depressed. And then I sat there in the kitchen and thought this isn't all my energy, this isn't all my anxiety there's, I'm pulling in, I'm pulling in from the universe. So that was very helpful for me, first and foremost, to realize like I don't need the story, like you said, but I'm actually pulling in a lot of energy and so I need to be more protective of my energy, not less, and especially like when I wake up, you know, or I mean when I'm sleeping like really make sure that I'm able to manage all that energy. So I have some techniques for that, because it was not all mine, but it does show me that even as great empaths like we pull this in without meaning to, even though I know I'm sensitive to other people, but from humanity and in our sleep time. So I just want to acknowledge I woke up the other day, too, feeling that, and so now I'm a little more aware of it. I've got my, I've got my black obsidian from Teoway to Cona, mexico, underneath my pillow right, and so it helps me to then really stay grounded and my dreams have been better and I've been waking up better. So that's one of the things.
Terri Ann Heiman:But as we tap, we are working on meridian points of the body. I forget which or which I was seeing, if I could find it really quick, but there are certain points. But, as Gary Craig, the founder, recognized, like if we just tap on these points, you're going to hit what you need. It was called like touch field therapy or something Callahan Stephen Callahan, I think, was his name, that was the original originator of this kind of therapy. But you had to go look up the points and you had to look it up for each person. So then Gary Craig came along and simplified it. And so if you touch these points and even, as you were doing, you just randomly chose one, we're starting to activate the amygdala of the brain, which is lowering cortisol, which is bringing us back into the present moment.
Terri Ann Heiman:Because what is us as humans? What are you worried about? Something that happened in the past. Right, we're remembering it. We wake up, we check our emails, we check the social media oh yeah, what happened yesterday that's going to now trigger us. Oh, we're worried about the future. How am I going to pay this? Oh no, tax season's coming up, all those things we get triggered. But when we're in the present moment, which is what I acknowledge in the kitchen wait a minute, I am okay, I'm about to make coffee, I can get dressed, I can walk around, I can dress myself as senior citizen, right, that's a big thing when you go to the doctor these days, right. But the point is is, like I acknowledge, right here, in the present moment, I'm okay.
Terri Ann Heiman:Otherwise, we take that anxiety with that stomach ache, and then we go to the doctor and then we're given medicine. We're not given the opportunity to really sit with it, like you expressed. Right, yeah, because there are. There are big emotions coming in. I mean, one of the principles with tapping that Gary Craig taught was, underneath the physical ailment is unresolved emotional issue, yeah, right. So the emotional issue is look what's going on in the world. It's hard for anybody to digest life right now, much less food, right, yeah, so that's part of it and, as you talk about in your work in your book and what we talked about on the show too with the shadows. This is the part we embrace.
Terri Ann Heiman:But with the tapping we can get to it a little quicker and it starts to rewire the brain and then you start to recognize, like for me, some of the anxiety, some of the old lineage, mind, ashkenazic, the struggle, the guilt, the worry. This is an old imprint. I recognize this is yesterday's energy. I recognize this is an old habit. I I recognize this is yesterday's energy. I recognize this is an old habit. I choose not to go there, I choose to be present. So as we start to acknowledge the shadow, we start to then be able to rewire it. So I don't have to wake up that way every day. So these are the ways in which the tapping it's just amazing, right.
Terri Ann Heiman:So yes, you can check out my book, you can find it. I do private sessions. But I will just offer just a huge insight for this that the tapping solution is kind of taken over for Gary Craig. He's much older now and he got very popular. The tapping solution has a free summit coming up and you can get tons of information just by listening. Great teachers and they're really you can buy it. I think that's the only thing they try to sell is the buying. But all the interviews they're just pure information, and some of my teachers, some of the people I've worked with, are on it, but to me it's one of the best techniques right now for anxiety and fear. Yes, I love Reiki. Reiki is good for personal calming, loving energy. But if you want to rewire your brain and get out of the limits and beliefs, it's amazing what it can do for you.
Granddaugnter Crow:Yeah, I absolutely love that. And so you do you actually do? Speaking of Reiki, you actually do teach Reiki and help people to certify, get certified, as well as send Reiki and do one-on-one mentoring. Tell us a little bit more about how an individual can work directly with you beyond listening to your podcasts and things.
Terri Ann Heiman:Yeah, thank you for that, because my podcast does give a lot of information and, like you said, I always tune in. First and foremost, I offer a free discovery call so you can go on and I can send you the link if you need it. But you can go on and just let's just chat, like get to know me, like I'm real, I'm available, right, and if you are serious, I do ask you how serious you are right About wanting to make the changes. Right. Let's be fair with each other's time and we can talk about what would be beneficial for you. Maybe it is just a session or maybe you want to learn how to set up your own spiritual practice and learn these tools. So I do have private mentoring and now I have several different private mentoring. Maybe you aren't trained in Reiki and you want to have that. Maybe you want to do a little bit more deep soul work. We can work that way. Maybe you even want to learn about the radiance. I have a radiant light program, right, I even have one that I love called shape shifters. Like let's get in shape.
Terri Ann Heiman:I'm an emotional eater and I use tapping for that. Like let's get to what's in that gap of why we say we want this or what's that? Emotional energy holding us and connecting us to food and to emotions, right? So that's one of my favorite. It's a lot of fun. It gets into a little shamanism techniques as well. We get into a lot of them because there's so much in that whole emotional eating, right, and even talk about it in my other book too. It's just like you know, like, oh, it must be because I'm overweight. Nobody likes me, right? It's like, come on, how silly is that. But when we have those deep beliefs, we believe it, right, and they're imprints.
Terri Ann Heiman:When I came back to Birmingham, it had been 35 years and I saw a woman in our community that I knew from practically like kindergarten. She said, oh, I remember you, aren't you the fat one 35 years later? And boy, did that put me right back to that time period of being insecure? Yeah, of course, and that's what happens. Those are called imprints, energy imprints, yeah. So I help you work through those and that's actually one of the most fascinating for me, especially in the Akashic realm. Want to learn how to access your own records in the realm? I can show you how we start by learning intuition, learning about our empath energy, learning about the aura. So I do have a little method to my madness how I go from A to Z right, and how we build it and all. But there are many ways to work with me.
Granddaugnter Crow:There are I love it and you know one of the benefits like it's a huge benefit to listen to all of the information, but one of the biggest, biggest, biggest benefits, if you have the time, energy, resources and will, you know, to do a one-on-one, it becomes personalized to you.
Granddaugnter Crow:It becomes personalized so you're like, oh well, I'm Granddaughter Crow and I now understand my energy and where it tends to slide down the rabbit hole and I now understand, you know, and so that's a really big benefit of working one-on-one with all the tools you know I, so that's a really big benefit of working one on one with all the tools you know. I want to kind of circle back, because we started this saying bridging spirituality with work and then spirit in everyday life, and so we talked about spirituality in work, like corporate America or even if you work at a factory or a farm or whatever, but then you kind of started mentioning, oh, what about if you're an emotional eater or something like that? So it goes beyond just work life, it can go into all aspects of your life, bringing spirituality to your dinner table. What would you say?
Terri Ann Heiman:about that. Yeah, I think that's really important because I know I struggled all my life with emotional eating. Now I will say today I am much better. I'm not saying I don't overeat or emotionally eat, but when I do I catch myself and I ask why are we overeating? Why did we just buy a bag of pretzels and want to eat them all? Yeah, and then I say okay, I'm feeling a little lonely. I'm feeling say, okay, I'm feeling a little lonely, I'm feeling a little isolated, I'm feeling a little separated out. But then I can tap myself back into it by simply acknowledging it is helping as well.
Terri Ann Heiman:But I think it's so valuable to help us understand. And even just sitting down, yes, my mother used to say you eat too fast, you eat too fast. So when we presence that energy and we can really take the time we're going to have overall better, how many times you go eat this amazing meal and you don't even pay attention to eating and all of a sudden you realize oh my God, I just ate the whole meal and didn't even realize, yeah, so I think that's really important and that comes into mindfulness. You know we have informal, formal mindfulness, but even in our just everyday life, like you're saying, like being really mindful, and that's one of the things I'm really focusing and that was a message in my meditation to slow down even more, even more, yeah, yeah, because when we can just really be aware of the energy, it just makes us so much more aware of our life and what we're doing. And no, I don't want to keep repeating the same mistakes, right, and I can get way ahead of myself. Our spirit generally is it's way out there, it's already watching, right, it's already looking at it. But when we can come right back and really be in alignment, time shifts, everything shifts. Yeah, not saying it's like I won't have any problems because Lord knows I got them, but I do my work and I tell my students that, like I'm not perfect you want a perfect teacher but I will do my work and I will meet you where you are to help you do your work, and I think that's really important.
Terri Ann Heiman:But in our everyday life there's so many things that we deal with and growing up, I mean, my mother used to say oh, quit being so sensitive, right, and one of the ways she tried to help me with my weight problem, I was a I was a fat kid in the family, I will just admit it. But she took me to a fat doctor quote unquote that gave me diet pills pre-adolescence diet pills. I love my mother dearly, I do. I lived with her the last five years, but that's how they dealt with it back then. Right, did I learn anything? No, I didn't learn anything until I went off to college and started having to cook for myself and realizing wait a minute, what is this about? And it still took me many years.
Terri Ann Heiman:It did, but I do feel that having the ability to even say I'm an emotional eater is really powerful because it embraces the shadow again. Yeah, but now we have tools and we can cut the gap. I mean, it's really amazing. We start to realize like, oh my God, why am I always going for sugary doughnuts in the morning. We realize, oh, my dad used to take me out for sugary doughnuts. So I think about my dad. So we want to separate the love for your dad with the idea wait a minute, that's a sugary donut, we don't need the sugary donut to feel the love for the dad. So we start to get in the gap and separate those out.
Terri Ann Heiman:One of the things I say is we eat for nutrition, not for emotions, right? Yeah, so that's kind of how you work with that, but that's part of our everyday life and even like to like you can even take it to like just even being able, you know, for women, where we are right now being able to speak up because what's happening? We're being smashed down again. But wait a minute, wait a minute. Hello, I have something to say and we have to take that reserve, be grounded and, right here in the deepest part of our heart, say hello.
Terri Ann Heiman:I do have something to say, especially for those difficult conversations. Just having this conversation with my daughter she had to have a difficult conversation she says same thing it's better to go ahead and face it head on than to put it off, because it just builds and builds and gets worse, right? So, feeling that I like to say you know, spirit to spirit deep in your heart, connect with the greater source, bring in the higher self, and this is something. Once you do it, it's just like becomes automatic, but then we're showing up whole and complete. Yeah.
Granddaugnter Crow:You know, I have to applaud you for talking about emotional eating, because I think that we are in a day and age where we need, there are, so there's so many people out there. That's like I'm so glad she said that because I didn't want to admit it to myself. Or, oh, I'm emotion, I'm emotionally doom scrolling, or oh, I'm emotionally binge watching Netflix, or I'm emotionally drinking too much wine, or I'm emotionally shopping. You know, fill in the blank. You know, fill in the blank people. What is it that is reactive to the energy? And how do we do that? We pause and understand oh, that was dad's donut. I love dad and I'm going to light a candle to dad, talk about my dad today, give him a hug, whatever it is, and then eat a granola bar, or, you know, I mean separate those out Drink water, drink water.
Terri Ann Heiman:Water is the processor of energy. Yes, say that again. Water is our processor of energy, right, say that again. Water is our processor of energy, right. And so there's even a tapping. I eat for nutrition. You know how many times I've tapped on that? I eat for nutrition. I drink water for my emotions. I eat for nutrition, right. But water is the processor of emotions. Yeah, that's amazing. It flushes the body, moves through the kidneys, right, yes, oh, I love that.
Granddaugnter Crow:That's a bumper sticker, people, that's a bumper sticker, I absolutely love that. So, as we're starting to wrap up, is there anything else that you want to say and is there any upcoming things that are going on in the world of Terry Ann Hyman?
Terri Ann Heiman:Yes, there is. I'm so excited. It's kind of like a kind of thing because it hasn't been announced but it has to do with my podcast. I have a new show coming out called Soul Messages. It's going to be on Etheric TV, which will be a live TV streaming. It is still kind of under wraps because it hasn't launched, but it will. But it's going to be. My program is going to be along with others, other content creators it's going to be about 50 different programs. But I am going to actually do a little bit of like teaching. How do we find soul messages, where do they come from? How can we begin to access it? So there will be a little teaching and examples given in it. But I'm very excited.
Terri Ann Heiman:I had a pilot. It's like a whole big deal for me and it's like kind of the next level up, which is really funny because last year I don't quite remember when it was, I think it was last fall I had an astrologer on the show and was late and she felt so bad she goes let me give you a reading. And so I said, okay, sure, give me a reading. Who doesn't want astrology reading? And she said to me you have to get visible, like what I'm visible. She goes no, you have to get visible. You need to take your podcast and put it on video. I'm like I can't do that, but it was so powerful in my chart I said I need to listen, and so I followed that advice and so I started doing the podcast, now on video, and from there that's where the pilot was created from. I have to change it a little bit just for them, but you know what it was like.
Terri Ann Heiman:Yeah, taking that guidance and actually acting on it. And now, yeah, I'm very excited. It should be out in March. Hopefully, yeah, hopefully, we'll get it all together. Should be out in March. I'm not sure when they're launching it. They're doing some testing right now to get it all up in there. But it's actually what I understand. It's like kind of a new phase in TV broadcasting, yeah, so big, huge up curve for me, yeah, but I'm very excited and I can't wait to bring it forward and then working on it, yeah, but other than that, I mean my work, my mentoring, all of those things are always ongoing.
Granddaugnter Crow:Yeah, where can people follow you to keep tabs on this new adventure that you're going into? Like, should they follow you on social network? Of course, again, terriannhymancom, but where else can we follow you?
Terri Ann Heiman:Yeah, you know, that's a little bit of a little tricky question for me right now, just because of what's going on in the world at large. Some of the platforms I am changing and not to get too crazy here but definitely my website. I have recently started on Substack. That's another place. In the past it's been Instagram, but that could change. Yeah, but YouTube, I'm building the YouTube, but you know what? Like I said, reach out, you can find me and my website. I do try to keep up to date and for now I will say I am on Instagram at Terriann Hyman, but that could change.
Granddaugnter Crow:I think that that could change for a lot of us. Terry, thank you for you know, being one of the first voices that come forward on my show to say, hey, things are changing people. We may have to meet up, you know, down the street, you know basically, but I know I mean we still shine, we still shine.
Terri Ann Heiman:We still shine. I really want to feel that integrates part of me. Is that the right word? Integrous, but be an integrity right, like? I'm not so sure I believe in those principles, but yes, like, oh, but it's for your business, but I don't know, so it could change and I think we all need to have a little consciousness right now about that. And there are many ways and there are new platforms every day, you know, coming forward. But you can find me on YouTube That'll be there for a while now. I think that's a good place and Instagram, like I said, but my website I'm trying to use it more and more. Yeah, thank you, and actually I will say, if you go to my website, I do have a free gift and it's a download and ebook on energetic sensitivity, so it gives you some great tips to really increase your energetic sensitivity.
Granddaugnter Crow:Yeah, okay, I'm going to download that book. I am going to download that book. So, terry, thank you so much. We talked about bringing spirituality into your day.
