#24 TNT Amber Owens: Guru Woman and Sacred Storyteller I call her my Guru Woman for a host of reasons, but mainly because she listens with a magic ear👂 ...Then pulls an answer from what seems like an invisible vault of wisdom 👁 ... All while keeping it incredibly real🎅 Her name is Amber Owens and she is a reiki master, multi-dimensional-energy healer, and earth grid worker with years of experience. 🧞♀️☄️ Listen and Read the show Notes/Quotes Here 🌈: https://simplecast.com/s/680eac3d 🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿 Amber recently returned from Jerusalem, where she met with a special group of individuals at Temple Mound for this year’s 11:11:11, so this episode definitely falls into line with THE NOMAD THEORY mission: Learn to Live with a Nomadic Mindset 🧠 We talked about how she makes her decisions while on the road, as well as how responsibility changes once we become more aware of our place in the Universe. 🧚♂️ I challenged myself to talk more and share personal stories more in this episode in an attempt to balance out the host/guest dynamic, and I am happy with the results. 🎙 Amber possess an uncanny ability to stay on her conversation partner’s plane of understanding while explaining an idea, which makes her approachable even when discussing “hardcore hippy” topics like finding spiritual mentors, or using words like “God” v.s. “Universe”. 🧙♀️ Thank you so much for listening to THE NOMAD THEORY🌎 Stay Wild Folks A.C. Ridenour 🍌 ☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️ 1:00 What role books played in Amber’s travel life. First thing to really spark inspiration to travel, inspiration to explore. Books were pivotal in me becoming who I really am. 2:40 Amber doesn’t normally keep a journal. In fact, she never really writes anything down because she likes to process the experience and with there that doesn’t look like writing. But with Social media she can mark the miles stones through pictures. 4:20 Amber talks about her story telling philosophy and how she thinks about processing an experience without writing, and then sharing it later on in a way that doesn’t make the person you’re talking to feel jealousy, but rather that they are capable of experiencing the same thing, but in a vastly different way that would be that much more interesting to them because they would be the ones experiencing it. It’s a step by step process, kind of like marination. 1. You go, let your body live the story. Absorb all the energy and environment. 2. Then, when you get back there’s a gestation period. “It’s the space in-between the in breath and the out breath” 3. Then you are able to process from the at-home perspective and see how you’ve changed because of the trip. 4. Write down big thoughts. It comes down to allowing the energies and memories to come back in the order in which they feel most natural. “Allowing the experience to give me what it wants to give me” 7:00 Amber recently met a New Zealand Shamanic Grandfather, ended up meeting him and a group of other people in Israel on the Temple Mound in Jerusalem. She tells some stories of serendipity that occurred and explains how she commonly would choose “where to go next” while traveling. 9:40 The way in which Amber met her New Zealand Shamanic Grandfather is peculiar. Worth the listen for someone looking for a spiritual “call to action” 12:00 A.C. tells the story of how he started traveling. “It all leads back to that one ass slap” 13:00 Amber talks about finding a spiritual mentor. “I’ve been doing this to know that’s how it works.” “[It happens] when we start asking the right questions. A lot of people may be asking questions, but if you don’t ask it in the right way, with the right intention, the Universe doesn’t unlock the information for you. But if you’re genuinely open, to ‘I don’t know what the answer is, but I feel like I should know the answer’ And you phrase it in a way that you’re open to whatever you need to be told. Then the Universe is like, ‘ok’, and then they bring, whoever, whatever: whether it be a book, a movie, a song, a person, a place and [the Universe] brings it into your space because you’ve been asking for it.” - Amber Owens 16:20 “Once you know better, you have to do better” - Amber Owens 18:00 Does Amber use the word God? She talks about language and how it can be used to transcend using a “sticky thought” (i.ex. God is a bearded white man in the sky) 22:00 Is it better to be more “conscious”? “Depends on the day… Once you’re conscious you need to own your shit” - Amber Owens 24:00 “Is it wickedness or is it weakness?” - Kendrick Lamar
