Cultivating Intuitive Flow in a Changing World! With Sonia Choquette

Sonia Choquette 0:00

People that used to laugh at me now are coming to my classes. Intuition is now considered the most sought after consciousness faculty because of AI, your consciousness is a creator, emotionally, creatively, spiritually. We are spiritual beings in a physical body, and there are many, many, many, many layers of consciousness in what we call the subtle realms. I work with a whole bunch of guides, and they're like my friends in spirit. And the goal is actually that everybody eventually is able to channel the key is not to try to grab onto the guides, but to create a clear vessel to receive guidance. There's a very different feeling between fear and intuition. When we ask for help, you have to let go and you have to be available to to receiving help. You can be helped on anything if you're really available.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:02

Sonia Choquette, a warm welcome to the show.

Sonia Choquette 1:05

Thank you. I'm so happy to be back.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:07

I'm excited to see you again and dive even deeper than we did the last time. And for everybody not knowing about you, you are a renowned, globally celebrated spiritual teacher and intuitive. And you've been working with helping people all around the globe, getting in touch with their intuitive abilities for more than 40 years. Yeah, and you've also written 27 books, which is just incredible, and especially remembering ask your guides and trust your vibes. That was really helpful for me, and still is. And I want to dive into intuition today and actually understanding how much we how much help we are actually receiving or that is available for us. But still, there seems to be some obstacles in really trusting our intuition. And for those who are a bit new to you, can you share how it has been so easy for you to trust your intuition? Because, from what I know, you have had a family that was very supportive of this. Isn't that? Right?

Sonia Choquette 2:14

I actually believe that's the only distinguishing factor between me and other people, as far as trusting intuition. I grew up in a culture and in a family that valued intuition above everything, so where other people would say, you know, maybe get the message as a child to do your research or follow the teacher. Do you're told I was given the message over and over again. Trust your vibes, listen to your spirit, listen to your heart, and live in Integrity with your spirit and your heart. So I really don't have an experience of not trusting my vibes. I don't I don't I, but I do. I did recognize, when I started school, pretty early on that that what was perfectly obvious to me was was somehow lost on other people. And I thought that was just the worst state of consciousness you could be in, the most vulnerable. So it became a real passion of mine, very early in life, to help others reconnect to their inner guidance.

Jannecke Øinæs 3:26

Do you think also that you perhaps were born with some extra sensory skills, or are you saying that? No, they just developed because you did not push them down like many of us did.

Sonia Choquette 3:38

Well, you know, there's is a question of is, are you? Do you have a genetic disposition? I'm my feeling is because of my lengthy experience as a teacher, that I don't think certain people are are more inclined to be intuitive, biologically, I do think emotionally, creatively, spiritually, there are people who prefer to live a more literal life. They find they're more secure with the third dimension, just what you can see, touch, feel sense, or what you can logically explain. But I I also think those people are having more and more difficulty staying in that bubble with quantum physics and the world of science evolving and we're understanding everything is energy. It's making more sense of my world and less sense of just being being trapped in a literal world. So those lines are getting blurred a little bit right now, thank goodness. And I think truly, everybody has inner senses, just like we have outer senses. And yes, for some people, they're sharper than others, but we all our inner senses are on equal playing field. I. Our outer senses, maybe you might like. For example, my mother was deaf, so she turned on her inner senses to compensate for what she could not physically hear. That was probably the biggest reason why we we I had a mother who was so determined to make sure we were able to tune in, because it it was something she did, and it helped her so, so the best attitude to take is, this is my natural design. I have it. I have outer senses that show me the physical world and inner senses that show me the energetic world.

Jannecke Øinæs 5:38

And I'm curious just to learn a bit more about you. Was it something you chose very consciously, that I'm I want to be this teacher, I want to help people, or was it sort of spirit and your guides to just led you there?

Sonia Choquette 5:54

I honestly believe that I came in with that intention because my first class, I was I was about 15 years old. I had already been for many, many years giving people what we call, then intuitive reading, psychic readings, but it was frustrating for me for a couple of reasons. As a child, I saw things way beyond my emotional level that I didn't understand. I thought adults were living crazy lives and very incongruent, energetically, not not in integrity, not well connected. And then I also felt like they were really lost. Didn't know how to make decisions, always trying to second guess other people feeling very threatened, and when you're in, when you're tuned in to your inner guidance, you don't have those experiences. So I was motivated to bring relief. So I taught my very first class, and I remember it to this day, and and because I was motivated to do more than have them. I was, I was smart enough to know that coming to a 15 year old was not necessarily that reassuring for guidance in your life. I would I was pretty savvy, but I thought, if I can give them the tools, perhaps they could could find some relief from their confusion and make better decisions. And that was something that just felt right for me from the beginning, and I've done it ever since

Jannecke Øinæs 7:28

I know, like I've known of you for years, like even when I started in 2012 like you were one of the big names, and you still are doing wonderful work. Did you think it's easier for us now to follow our intuition now that we're in a consciousness shift,

Sonia Choquette 7:44

I absolutely do. In fact, it's almost unrecognizable the difference between when I grew up, where people people laughed at me and mocked me and dismissed me, some feared me. Interestingly enough, they had certain religious training. And I said, I can I'm intuitive. They really misinterpreted that to be aligned with dark forces, just quite superstitious. And I'd say around, literally, up until the pandemic, that was still less and less, but still pretty common. But after the pandemic, the world changed. Because up until the pandemic, things were pretty predictable. We didn't expect things to go wildly out of out of sync, was what we expected, and so all of a sudden, our world was not quite so so secure, and it hasn't been since so that the need to be able to be present and to make decisions has has activated our intuitive senses for survival reasons. And so people that used to laugh at me now are coming to my classes and and people that used to very offhandedly dismiss the inner world are now really diving in. And I was at a conference in California, and I was talking to a gentleman who said intuition is now considered the most sought after consciousness faculty because of AI, because for all that AI can do, it can't feel it can't feel energy. It can't be intuitive. And so it can, it can derive a tremendous genius from the past, but it can't project the future, and intuition can

Jannecke Øinæs 9:45

interesting. You must have been thinking about this a lot since you're an intuitive future and past. I mean, how is it possible to predict the future from your perspective, and do we have more. Multiple timelines.

Sonia Choquette 10:01

Well, predicting the future is subjective. If you've made choices energetically, they will have consequences. If I step into traffic, I'm probably going to get smacked by a car if I don't look okay. So I can predict that that is that is it an energetic flow of energy that is going to run into opposition. And then there's what's called probability, which I really prefer to teach people, which is to be aware that your your your consciousness is a creator, your choices are the direction in which it's created, and the probability is what will happen with the different choices. You can energetically sense, because and the world is all energy and flow. So the intuitive faculty is I can not only sense where my energy is going, but I can also sense energy coming toward me, energy moving in the world. And so intuition is really best developed, best amplified. Because I don't even know if I like to say the word developed I like to say turned up if, if you use it to assess energy, your own and others, and begin to recognize the flow of patterns, because the universe is organized, and you can sense physically, energetically, if the direction you're moving is incongruent With what you might meet, which case it's or or alternatively, very congruent. Let's go for this so, so intuition empowers you to make really well informed decisions. That's where it's it's useful. People approach it because they they're first, and it's real. It's realistic and makes sense that they want to develop their intuition for protection. That's a first instinct. I want to be safe. I don't want to be hurt. I don't want to I don't want to be in danger. So that's first level intuition. And the interesting thing about that is that when people they want it, they turn it on, it works, and then they get scared, oh, I don't want to hear anything bad. Like they get confused with the here's this protective consciousness, and you equate it, if you're not being discerning, with bad things, it's like, well, no, it's the warning system that's preventing bad things, so we have to what I teach people now quite a bit, is to be more discerning, be more grounded, be more present. Pay attention to where you're going, what you're experiencing. Get back in your body. It's the receiver of your intuitive information, and connect the dots. Just things are not that random. Things are actually flowing in quite, quite predictable, energetic flow. So just if you're present and you're paying attention and you're conscious about what I'm doing and where I'm going and what I want, then you can start intuitively assessing where that matches up and your choices around you and with the people around you.

Jannecke Øinæs 13:28

So let's dive a bit deeper. On the show, I have many guests who are channeling different beings and entities and energies, and they are talking with their team and guides. Now, what sort of guides are you working with? And I'm curious, if we're speaking about angels here, elves, Higher Self, soul,

Sonia Choquette 13:53

good question, and it is a bit of a wild west for a lot of people. But here's the truth is, we are multi dimensional. We are spiritual beings in a physical body. And there are many, many, many, many layers of consciousness in what we call the subtle realms, the energetic realms, and we can have relationship with those very different and varying levels of consciousness. So I wrote a book called Ask your guides to organize it a bit for you. There's nature spirits. They're the world of nature and the world of of the physical has its own energy and spirit. Then we have helper guides. Helpers are souls who have transitioned out of body but learned certain skills when they were in the physical realm, and they come back to help us. They have not assumed a body, but they retain the consciousness. So they come and help us, depending on projects. So they come and go. We have healer guides. Healer guides basically serve to direct us to where we might meet a healer force, or a healing force. Us in our physical reality. So a healer guide will direct you to you need massage, you need to not eat meat, you need to learn to meditate. You need to to deal with your trauma. You need to you know, and it'll bring books to you and ideas and connect you, sort of navigate your consciousness to what will help bring you back to balance, which is what healing is. We have ancestors. People are people crossed over who love us because the threads connect and sustain so our our loved ones, can still come and go in one of the dimensions. And we get higher and higher and higher higher. We have teachers and light beings. And there's a lot of very high consciousness coming through the planet right now the light beings, which is why we have this proliferation of channeling. And all of a sudden, everybody's channeling. It's because there's a tremendous flooding of light and a tremendous assistance of elevating and expanding consciousness for our planet, because we're at a tipping point. If we keep staying unconscious and disconnected from our bodies others our planet, we're going to destroy ourselves. So now we're getting all this help coming in, through all these various people channeling and sharing the messages that we're all connected, that we're spiritual beings, that we can't live in fear, that we need to be conscious of our choices. We need to recognize the planet is alive and we have to care for it, and we have to to see our connection to other humans so we don't continue our ego based inclination to attack or be afraid. So all these levels, they come and go depending on where our attention is and where our growth is going. So I like to say, see them as you have your angels, which are always wish with you. They're like your spiritual staff. They're here to help you fulfill your goals, and they're with you all the time, but they don't interfere unless you're really drifting into something dangerous, and they'll pull you out and keep you going if you're not complete with your soul intentions. And then the other guides come and go. So guides you had when you were 20 may not be the guides at 30 or 40 or 60, I work with a group of light beings. I work with a whole bunch of guides, and they're like my friends in spirit. So you don't have just one guide. It's just like you have guides, like you have friends and community and teachers, are just in the subtle realms. So and I've written about them in a lot of my books. The teacher guides, the light beings I work are called the emissaries of the third Ray. There are 12 rays, probably more 12 we know of, or we can register, and it's the second octave of love. So my particular connection is with a group of guides that are really here to teach self love, intuitive awakening and non judgment that is my soul commission. Other guides are here to teach other things, other light beings come for other things, manifestation, for example, or or or healing the planet, or changing the environment, or, you know, various things you'll have, you'll see various channels have their focus, their particular focus, but they are, they are light, being teachers, really. And as we grow, they change. I've had the emissaries since I was about 20, so I've had them for a long time. And there's one in particular, Shoah Kim. He speaks for the emissaries. And I channeled some books. I just released, one called the 22 laws of divine mastery that Joachim channeled. And then I comment, and then he'll speak, and then I'll comment. I think the important thing is to know that quite possibly, you may start doing this any day, or anyone listening, because as our consciousness opens up, it's only natural that we start make bridging these frequencies and have dialogs just like you and I, having the dialog on this streaming 20 years ago, that seemed impossible, and now here we are. You're in Norway, I'm in France. Here we are. It's the same on the vertical plane. I'm here. The Light Beings are no different frequency, but we can connect. And the goal is actually that everybody eventually is able to channel. Everybody is able everybody who has the interest, certainly to channel for yourself, maybe not for the public or the greater good, but for yourself. And I think we're seeing that more and more and more for.

Jannecke Øinæs 20:00

Very exciting. I haven't had a direct connection. I feel like with my guides, I feel like I have more an intuition when it comes to knowing. I just know something and I follow my joy. That's sort of my GPS. But I do remember that I had one day a very clear voice, and when my guests speak about voice, then it feels good, because then I can sort of identify with it, because I've one time heard a voice, but it was something that was not significant and that puzzles me. So I was going on this date, and right as I walk out the door, the sentence comes, it's not him. And I'm like, where did that come from? It's not him, okay? It's just my first date, I mean. And obviously, when I went on a date, I knew it was not him, but still, I'm like, Why haven't I received such a direct, direct voice all the times where I really needed it?

Sonia Choquette 21:06

Well, I think that what we need to do is consider that it's not that the voice comes and goes, or the guide comes and goes. It's at your your availability to receive frequency expands and contracts so you as a receiver in that moment, just had everything lined up to get clear direction from, most likely, your higher self, which is your most important guide. And it might have been a point in time where you needed to stay on your spiritual track and didn't want your higher self, didn't even want you to be distracted. So it was maybe more important than perhaps you would give it importance in retrospect. And so the key is not to try to grab onto the guides, but to create a clear vessel to receive guidance, to become a good receiver, then the guidance will come and and the way you've described it is a wonderful way for it to come to you. I just know we can occasionally have clear audience, which that was, or we might have a vision, but your basic, what I would call your core frequency, your soul's main, intuitive channel is I just know, not a lot of thought, not a lot of conversation, not a lot of light show and visual I just plans. I just know it's not it's not a conclusion. It's not the result of thinking. It's just, boom, I know. So that works brilliantly for you, and that is a very strong, intuitive channel. And I think I've written this in quite a few books, that it's not one size fits all. If, for you, it's, I know, you go with it, you might occasionally get a voice and and it, it can be a startling experience. But if the if you look for the constant, you might occasionally see a vision or have a dream, because actually, your intuition does borrow all of your senses, but the one that just knows is your heart. Okay, so it borrowed your it borrowed it borrowed your ears for it's not him, but your heart just knows. So I think the important thing is not to try to turn on all the the senses that could overwhelm you. Just recognize what is my core frequency, the one that informs me consistently accurately, clearly, not without confusion that I can trust. That's what we need to focus on now,

Jannecke Øinæs 23:50

yeah, and let's go there for everybody listening and watching. So how can I develop or open up my intuition more? And I know you've been speaking a lot about the breath and the heart chakra, and also the fifth dimension. And I'm sort of curious if this is linked together, that our consciousness sort of need to open up to the fifth dimension in order order to receive more. If that's sort of the power

Sonia Choquette 24:17

let me explain that, because it sounds like another place? Yeah, it's not another physical place in outer space. So I like to explain it like this. The third dimension is like am radio. And on the am radio band, there's a lot of talk radio, a lot of people sharing opinions, a lot of just talking about the mundane. Then we go up to a higher band. There's a higher frequency, we call that FM. FM is a stronger broadband. It picks up more it broadcasts music, concerts, elevated conversations. It broadcasts Public Radio. It just it. A little bit more evolved, a little bit more expanded. Then we can go to the next dimension, which is satellite. All of a sudden, we have now access to channels all over the state, all over the world. And then we go up to internet, which is what we're on, where you can connect anybody, anywhere, on any subject at any moment. That's the same as intuition, your ego and your basic physical mundane consciousness is am radio. It's just I'm aware of is here now, what's right in front of me and my own thoughts. And then, as you go up, you raise your consciousness, you become aware that there's more than just my perceptions and more than just what I see. You start to recognize that there's energy and other pieces of consciousness and and that we can connect with one another without being in the same physical space we might have, for example, telepathic experiences. I think of you, then you call me, it's like, Wow, how'd that happen? Because we went up in consciousness, and now our frequencies are connecting. So as we keep going up in consciousness or expanding intuition, the ego and the intellect are third dimension. Am radio, intuition. There's a lot of levels of intuition. Is fourth dimension, telepathy. I pick up your thoughts. I'm thinking of you. I can read your mind. We're not really exchanging words. I'm just getting information. I walk into a place, I read the room, I get energetically. Someone had a fight here, or this has good vibes. That's fourth dimension. Then you go up even higher, and you start feeling angels and guides and inspiration and ideas that never crossed your mind. That's the fifth dimension. So it's just dialing up the frequency to a higher bandwidth. So if you think of it that way, then it becomes accessible. It's like, well, then I just have to become a more expanded receiver. I just have to work on being able to receive more and more and more vibrational communication. Intuition is communication vibrating energetically. It's not speaking to through language. It's speaking to like if you put your hands like this, you can feel that energy traveling palm to palm that communicates, and when we receive it, I feel not emotionally. I feel like sensually. I know it's like I receive that that communication gives me information, that energy, I see, I hear, I hear what you're saying. I see what you mean. I see the future. I see. So we're just evolving our senses into internally and externally, to receive more more information energetically. That's what, what basically intuition is.

Jannecke Øinæs 28:14

Do you want to cultivate a deeper sense of self love? Then I have a self love toolkit for you where I help you boost your self love. Head over to wisdomfromnorth.com/selflovetips. And yet it feels difficult for so many of us. And you mentioned that we we must not fear, or, I don't know if that was the exact words, and I received some emails sometimes when people are saying, I try to trust my intuition, but I'm so full of fear. And how can I not feel fear when I'm feeling fair? And it is also that thing where, where, for instance, let's say you are wondering if you're going to go to a country where it's a lot of crime, and you've been invited to something, and you really want to go there, but you're afraid of the crime, and you're afraid, is it safe and is that fair? Or is that intuition, like, how

Sonia Choquette 29:12

good question! Well, first it takes practice, and you have to learn to discern there's a very different feeling between fear and intuition. It's not app they're not the same. They feel different. So I actually have a tool that I we can share with the listeners where you want to get to your intuition. I have this tool that's very common, called empty the garbage. And so let's say you want to go to a country, or actually, do you want to try the tool with me to demonstrate it just in real time? Yeah, sure, let's do you have any kind of a question that is your you can't quite get clear intuition on Do you have anything that you you want to explore but you're not. Sure, is this fear? Am I figuring it out? Is this intuition?

Jannecke Øinæs 30:03

Yeah, it is actually very concrete. I'm wondering whether to go to a country or not.

Sonia Choquette 30:09

Okay, so here's the tool. So think of you're going to ask, you're going to bring yourself to the to the idea of traveling to this country, and then now just follow what I ask you quickly. I'm afraid of

Jannecke Øinæs 30:26

I'm afraid of being caught or shot or robbed or something horrible would happen, kidnapped.

Sonia Choquette 30:40

Okay, now stay with me, because you went up in your head. Yeah, I can now look at something right in front of you. What do you see right in front of you?

Jannecke Øinæs 30:51

Physically, my camera perfect. I'm afraid of, um, I'm afraid of, I have to think, Well, I'm afraid of anything that might happen that I'm not even aware of can happen just feeling unsafe and nervous all the time.

Sonia Choquette 31:14

Take a breath and what are you looking at right in front of you. Eyes open right in front of you,

Jannecke Øinæs 31:23

my Mac.

Sonia Choquette 31:23

Okay, let's just do that one more time, one more scan. I'm afraid of thinking of this trip.

Jannecke Øinæs 31:32

I'm afraid of not being able to return. I'm afraid of something happening to those I'm traveling with. I'm afraid of crime.

Sonia Choquette 31:44

Okay, perfect. What are you looking at right now?

Jannecke Øinæs 31:49

Are you

Sonia Choquette 31:50

okay? Take a breath in through the nose. Keep your eyes open, because that keeps you present instead of going off into your fear. Open your jaw and let out a sigh into your heart, ah and smile, put your hand on your heart, and my spirit says.

Jannecke Øinæs 32:14

My Spirit says, Well, my spirit says I'm safe

Sonia Choquette 32:24

and you're fighting it, but your spirit says,

Jannecke Øinæs 32:28

My Spirit says I'm safe,

Sonia Choquette 32:30

okay, and my spirit says,

Jannecke Øinæs 32:35

My Spirit says it will be fine.

Sonia Choquette 32:38

And I'll just ask one more time. What else does your Spirit say?

Jannecke Øinæs 32:42

My spirits say, I will be okay.

Sonia Choquette 32:46

Okay. Another sigh. And does it feel true what your spirit says?

Jannecke Øinæs 32:55

It felt true in the moment, and I felt very safe now with you, and it just did it, just it just came, just came, right, yeah.

Sonia Choquette 33:06

Now you have two channels, what your fear says and what your spirit says. And now you get to make a choice, yes, and this is how did the feeling of your spirit feel different?

Jannecke Øinæs 33:22

I felt safe, and that's the feeling I want to feel it's safe,

Sonia Choquette 33:26

right? You can't, you can't manufacture that. When you let your spirit check the situation, it felt it's okay, so, but they tell people, and then you have a choice. You can choose to fall now, when you were in your fear, how did it feel?

Jannecke Øinæs 33:46

Your body erotic, a bit like

Sonia Choquette 33:50

exactly. It's very busy. It's a lot of contraction, lot of colliding. And when you're in your intuition, ah, it opens up, it gets quiet, not a lot of words. It's just a clear direction that you get to choose. But I always don't. I never ask, is that? I never say, is that right? I always say, does that feel true? Hmm, because you check, yeah, it does. So I could go on this trip and I would be okay. My Spirit says I'd be okay. I'm not sensing any I'm not sensing from the Spirit any collision of of energy and nothing that would compromise me. And then, and this is something I teach people. You get to choose. Lot of people don't want to be intuitive because they don't want to have to choose. They feel like I have to, I have to follow it. If I acknowledge it, you don't. You can follow whatever you want, but at least be curious to know what your spirit says. But what your inner senses are, checking the vibe and checking the energy field, it's like, well, actually, I'm not feeling all those things I fear. I'm I'm checking the energetic field. It's not there. I don't see the dark people coming to ambush me with the crying. It's not there. It's up in my in my head. So that tool works, but it doesn't work if you think it, you have to speak it out loud, and you have to keep your eyes open, because when you close your eyes, you're up and you fear again.

Jannecke Øinæs 35:31

Hmm, interesting. Good tool. Thank you very practical. Yeah, I bet there are many thinking now, well, I've asked for help a lot of times, and I haven't received help. I've asked, I've asked, I've asked. So are there times where we're just not receiving help because we're not meant to, or are we doing it incorrectly?

Sonia Choquette 35:57

I actually think that you have to ask yourself first when I asked for help, am I asking for things to go my way, or am I asking for things go the best way, even if it's not the way I want it to go? Because when we ask for help, you have to, you have to let go, and you have to be available to to receiving help. I, for example, as a client of mine, said that she was was dating a guy she really liked, and all of a sudden it wasn't going well. And she said I prayed that our relationship would get back on track. We were having so much fun. I really wanted to marry him. I invested eight months here, and I prayed and prayed. I don't know why it didn't go well, and I feel that I really got abandoned by the universe. Okay, I could appreciate that. Two years later, two years later, she came back and said, You'll never believe it, but the man that I was so crazy about was arrested for for fraud, for taking someone's money, for being a manipulator, and I was protected. He was setting me up for that, but I was just maybe a little too aware for him to stick around. So I was helped. I just couldn't see it at the time, because what I wanted was for him to stay in my life. I couldn't see and I wasn't acknowledging that something about his intentions was incongruent with his words. And now this poor woman, you know, he was arrested and and took advantage of another woman for 1000, $100,000, it wasn't me. So we have to take the long and broad view when it comes to help.

Jannecke Øinæs 37:51

Can we get help with anything in in theory and and is there a correct way of asking for help?

Sonia Choquette 38:00

Well, anything you want help with, whether it's where it helped me find my car keys because I'm running late to work, or help me find a parking spot, or help me find my purpose in life, all of it in the spirit world. And by the way, when you sneeze spontaneously, that is always a signature of my guides. So that's very funny. Anybody who knows me would know that that would get a sneeze. The guides are talking so you can be helped on anything, if you're really available and that you trust that what, what what is happening is in your highest good. You don't say, I only get to have help on important things, because the human experience is important, and it's important in the moment that I find my keys. It's important that I find that parking so it's important that I meet my partner, find my purpose. It's all important so the spirit world will just help you stay in flow and congruent and connected to what it brings the best experience to you and what brings the best out of you. So it won't help you. The spirit world won't help you. Manipulate someone else. The Spirit world's not going to say, Please give me the job instead of that other guy. Just say, Just, please give me the best job for me. Give me the best partner for me. Give me the best. Bring me the best for me, not take it from someone else. So that's the you know. Just be in your heart and be sincere and be helpable. I mean, have you ever had a friend, for example, come to you troubled, and they complain and they're really troubled, and you give this advice, and you give that advice, and you give this advice, and they're just not hearing any of it. All they're hearing is they want to tell you how troubled they are, and don't don't receive anything. You try to relieve them. It's very common. So it's just How available are you to receive help? Is the only real question you need to ask yourself.

Jannecke Øinæs 40:09

And then when we think about prayer, we could think that when we pray, we can pray out of this consciousness of lack, like, God, can you please, please, please, give me this, especially at the young like, I need that bike please, please, coming from that lack, but asking for something like, too assertive, like, bring me this could feel wrong also,

Sonia Choquette 40:40

I think that that is wrong too, because both of those are from the ego, which feels disconnected from source. What you do instead is say thank you in advance for helping me with this. Thank you in advance. I'm going to have certainty that you're going to answer my prayer, and I'm thanking you in advance for for receiving my prayer, and now I'm going to make myself available to receive it. That's how you should pray, that that's the way to pray, that works the best. I start all my days with a prayer. Thank you in advance, I say, lead me to my highest good this day, and thank you in advance for all the wonderful surprises coming my way, and at the end of the day, I always name and acknowledge the wonderful surprises. And I've done this since I was a child, and it people have said, You're the luckiest person I know to me throughout my whole life, but it's really a matter. I don't say it's so much luck is that I'm I'm fortunate that I was taught how to be a good receiver. But it's not, it's not subjective. We can all be good receivers. We just have to create that mental space. I work with students. I teach students who are very negative. They're very wounded. They've had a lot of disappointments, they've had a lot of a lot of pain, and it's hard for them to believe that life would get better. It's easier to just stay negative than to take the risk emotionally to have another disappointment. So I always say, start off small surprise. I always say, start the day was just surprise me with something wonderful today, anything but then be conscious and aware that something wonderful would happen. And I want to give an example of this, because it was really struck me. I was working with a woman whose greatest sorrow was she was a brilliant woman. She had become a coach. She was very good at coaching other people. She even became somewhat well known in her area, and her greatest sorrow of of all in life was that her father, who was a military man, never validated her, never saw her, never thought much of her career, her success, just didn't get it. And she felt very unseen and very and uncelebrated by him. And it was, she said, it was her biggest wound. And so we go along, and I'm coaching her one day, and she said, I said, Well, what good thing happened? And she goes, Well, my parents called me. They were having a big fight, and they, my mom called me and asked me if, if, if I could maybe help them negotiate a solution, which I said, That's unusual. She goes, yeah, it was unusual, and I helped them. And she said, then my dad wrote me a letter, an email the next day, said, Thank you. You really helped me. Now, in my estimation, that's the miracle you've been waiting for, right? She didn't even get it. I said, Anne, and she goes, yeah, he thanked me. I said, and do you see that's what you've been waiting for your entire life? What do you mean? You coached your own father, and he thanked you. The biggest complaint you had was that he didn't support or acknowledge or value you at all, let alone your coaching. And now this happened and you're not even receiving it. He goes, oh, oh, I guess you're right. Like, ah, yeah. So maybe you're being helped a whole lot more than you think you are, but you're expecting it to be with bells and whistles and fanfare and drama, and it's actually going to usually come in a very subtle way.

Jannecke Øinæs 44:54

And I know a bit about that, because being depressed 20 years ago, everything was negative. Everything was gray. And like you said, just opening up to the possibility that life is for me was so scary. Didn't want to go there, because I was protecting myself. And I think we are protecting ourselves with negativity, because you become this positive person, you can become naive. And what disappointed? And this, yeah, disappointed, yeah.

Sonia Choquette 45:23

So start little but the way out of this sand trap is to start being grateful for the little things. I'm grateful that I was able to get a cup of coffee from them in the morning. I'm grateful that the sun is shining even though it's 20 degrees below zero. You know, I'm great. Just little things that start bringing you out of your head, back to the moment, and start to see that life is trying to support you, and if you can be my teachers taught me, and it is another ingrained part of my nature to be grateful for 100 things a day.

Jannecke Øinæs 46:01

That's quite a lot, yeah, but

Sonia Choquette 46:05

I'm grateful for this conversation. I'm grateful our internet's working. I'm grateful the sun is shining. I'm grateful nobody's doing construction in my building at the moment. I'm grateful to see you again. There's seven or eight right there.

Jannecke Øinæs 46:20

That's true, and you are remembering to consciously do that. Yes, it's a habit, yeah, okay,

Sonia Choquette 46:28

I developed it as a habit, and I've developed as a verbal habit. So it tends to create when you're grateful verbally, you tend to stay open to good things. You tend to be available to intuition, and you tend to become an attraction magnet. More you're grateful for, the more good things come. So I tell my students, look, you don't have to believe me. Try it for three days and then report back what happened. Do not believe me. I don't try to convince anything of anybody. Just try it. But give it 72 hours, because you have to build the frequency. But let me know what happens in three days and people have come back that I have been unemployed for a year and a half. I just got this yesterday. A friend of mine here in Paris has found no work in a year and a half, said, I got hired yesterday from a job that I interviewed with eight months ago. They called me back. So I always say, try it. You have nothing to lose. Just be grateful for 100 things a day for three days, and see how much intuition increases your manifestation increases your health, increases your luck, increases your beauty, increases your your charisma. Just, just try it and see.

Jannecke Øinæs 47:50

Yeah, I think that's 5D living. I think it gets easier. I I've heard many speak about it this that traumas are resolving easier things that seemed more difficult before is going faster, in a way like

Sonia Choquette 48:07

resolving getting a lot of light on the planet, we're getting a lot of help. Yeah. So rather than please, please, please, the better prayers. Thank you for helping me. Thank you for helping me. I know you're helping me even, even even more than I realize. Thank you for helping me.

Jannecke Øinæs 48:24

And we don't need to know who is helping us and or who.

Sonia Choquette 48:28

Well, you don't necessarily need to get the backstory on the pilot when you get on the airplane so or in the taxi. So you just are going to trust vibrational match that if you're sincere, it's going to pull in what will lift you up energetically as a match? Keep it simple. Don't Don't let your mind get that involved. Be discerning. But be energetically discerning. If it feels good, go for it. If it feels off decline.

Jannecke Øinæs 49:05

Thank you so much. Sonia, this has been lovely, and a little recipe on how to do this. And I think it's important to also speak a bit about the how, not just the what, right.

Sonia Choquette 49:16

Otherwise, our brains won't, won't hang on. It's like it'll lose it. So the technique of 100 gratitudes a day is a wonderful little test for three days. And just write to you and have scare ask your listeners to write to and tell them what happened, share what happened, and then the I'm afraid three times with eyes open, but my heart says three times, eyes open, and then ask yourself, Does that feel true? There's some good techniques that are, that are, and I like to give actual tools, because I'd rather someone have an experience than just listen to me beautiful and.

Jannecke Øinæs 50:00

I did remember when I read your book many years ago, one of the exercises was to ask for a gift or a surprise. And I remember, I was sitting at work, and all of a sudden I got a gift. And I was like, Whoa,

Sonia Choquette 50:14

is that so fun? That's the other thing. Einstein said, you can live two ways, if nothing's a miracle or if everything's a miracle. So let's go for everything's a miracle.

Jannecke Øinæs 50:26

I so agree. Sonia, I have a few questions I ask all my guests, and the first one is, what is self love to you?

Sonia Choquette 50:34

Well, first I like to identify the self is the spirit. It's the divine spirit that is in me that gives me life, and I love it. I love that I'm alive. I love that I have this light in me. I love that I'm given this human experience. So myself is the divine spirit that I am, and I do love the divine spirit in me and in everyone. So that's what it is to me,

Jannecke Øinæs 51:01

and what is the deeper meaning of life from your perspective,

Sonia Choquette 51:04

I think the most important thing you can do in life is two things, create beauty and connect and share love. If you do those two things, your life is meaningful. It's meaningful. You feel like how I'm using my time and energy is is is adding to the greater good. So the meaning of life is to have a meaningful life, and those are the things that bring meaning creating something beautiful, whether it's through an experience not just visually Beautiful, just beautiful that uplifts and to love, to be courageous enough to love

Jannecke Øinæs 51:45

beautiful. How can people connect with you, if they perhaps want to follow you? Maybe have a session. I don't know if that's possible. How can they

Sonia Choquette 51:54
