hit subscribe and get me in your you know get your itunes on every week with this show it'll come in um probably tonight or tomorrow this show will so tonight what i'd like to do is a show about non-effort that is my theme the theme for the week actually working with non-effort effortlessness being an effort and not being an effort making an effort versus non-effort what does all that stuff mean and why do i want to talk about it it's kind of cool but i'm gonna i'm gonna get to that in just a moment here and go into the whole deal with what is effort and why do we need to talk about it anyway what's you know what's happening with it the other thing is i am giving readings tonight during the show so call in call in during the show and i'll see you in the next one during the show and get yourself a reading the number is 1-800-893-9562 and i'll be giving readings from now 703 pacific time until eight o'clock pacific time during my show and so let me just without further ado get right into it non-effort so here's a couple things about effort and non-effort effort works on a body level you know being an effort on a body level not a bad thing you know working hard working in your garden working out at the gym working to qualify for a marathon or or you know doing all the prep work you need to do to be actually able to complete a marathon or you know going to your making the effort to go to your yoga studio and go sit on your mat and do all that stuff and then you might be in a little bit of effort about it but boy it sure feels good afterward non-effort doesn't really work for things that are not i'm sorry being an effort doesn't really work for things having to do with your spirit so being an effort in the body bodies make an effort bodies can be an effort and be okay and when you're not in effort you're working more with the spirit of you being an effort doesn't work on a being level on a spiritual level and i'm going to get a little bit deeper into what what the heck do i mean by this for example being psychic takes no effort and that's really the point it takes exactly no effort to be psychic because it's about being you already are you already are psychic you might be in a little bit of effort about it if you are in judgment of it or you're afraid of it or you don't know how to be safe being psychic or you don't know how to let go of the energies that you see or that you become conscious of you know when you're being psychic you might be in effort if you think you have to try hard so effortless you know non-effort the effortlessness of being is your spirit your spirit playing and talking and having fun and creating another example is this what about that last movie you saw that you loved that just felt like it took no effort to make i mean if you know anything about how movies are made you know that there is a lot of effort to make and you're not in effort to make it's not a good thing to do you know that it there is a lot of effort to make and you're not in effort to make it's not a good thing to do there is a lot of work that goes into making any anything like anything is as big as a movie just sit through the end credits and look and count the number of names that you see you probably can't even count them all there's so many that flash by so fast all the people involved in making one two-hour film there's a lot of effort that goes into that but if you watch a film that just feels like it flies by it's just magical it's it's a beautiful story it makes you feel good you really feel the spirit of the movie and you're not in effort to make it so you're not in effort to make it you're not in effort to make it so you're not in effort to make it you don't feel like there was a lot of effort involved it doesn't drag a film that you see that just is awful or clunky or it drags or it's just not much fun or you feel kind of at the end of it it might have been in a lot of effort there wasn't a flow to it so you can see there's a there's a making an effort you know making an effort is showing up doing your work you know doing the process you know doing the process you know doing the process you know doing the preparation a filmmaker might spend years and years and years making a film or preparing to make a beautiful film that same filmmaker might have been in a lot of effort and all of a sudden hit the flow and things started to work and they got to a place where it became more magical more of a hello to the spirit and non-effort effortlessness is really about that it's about being able to flow with your own spirit and you're not in effort to make it so you're not in effort to make it so you can see you're not in effort to make it so you can see your own spirit so that's what i'm talking about your own spirit your spirit talking your spirit playing you're you creating you having on some level now i want to get into this a little bit more as i said effort works when you're playing a sport running a marathon competing in some way your body might need to be an effort and that's okay bodies are in a marathon you're in a marathon you're in a marathon you're in a marathon in space and time they're always right here right now present time present time here's my body in the studio but my spirit's with it because i'm here working on this and if your body is an effort on something in some way that actually validates it that's a good thing you know you work out and you feel good you sweat right on that's great but non-effort is the energy that your spirit works best at if you can allow yourself to be in a space and time that's okay but if you can't allow yourself non-effort effortlessness you can access your spirit your spirit begins everything everything begins with your energy your spirit and if you're an effort you're gonna have a hard time making something happen especially if you're trying to manifest something or make something new happen or create something that you don't have yet and if you go into effort over it it just feels like a drag like you're kind of like banging your head against the wall i just keep trying and i'm trying and i'm trying so hard to do this thing and it's not working so that might be you being an effort it doesn't mean you can't create it just means that you might want to kind of look at it from a slightly different perspective as in hey maybe i'm an effort what do i need to do to not be an effort now i have got a caller and i think i'd like to like to give my first reading tonight good evening hi chris it's karen why karen wolf it's good to hear your voice how are you good you too you too i should i should just give you a spot on the show if i'm in town i'm gonna catch your show and i've been lucky the last two weeks able to listen in and i love your topic well thank you and i appreciate that you listen in and that you call in it's nice to hear your voice so tell me how are you doing or what have you got to say about this topic or would you like a reading yeah it's lovely to be here and i'm glad to be here i love a reading and you know what i'm what i've i'm i'm really amazed at the timing it's great timing and a great topic the thought of flow and not a non-effort has been more real to me personally lately um and i wonder if it has to do with for me personally trust yes it can be that easy or easier and those old um you know midwest work ethic like guilt pictures oh yeah and you know toil yeah toil and wait hold on now now you're getting me into mcbeth bubble toil and trouble yes and and you could just turn that into a bubble bath commercial too i always wanted to great idea well why don't we go into you though i i absolutely i kind of interrupted you a little there with a yes but absolutely trust is on my list for tonight and i'm going to go into you though i i absolutely i i kind of interrupted you a little there with a yes but absolutely trust is on my list for tonight and i i absolutely i i kind of interrupted you a little there with a i'll take a look at you personally because that's you know that's your this is your reading but i can absolutely see the the picture you're blowing um and for those of you out in the audience or anybody listening to this who want to know what that means blowing a picture means you you pull your energy out of a picture you had that might you might have believed was true you know you had a picture of yourself that may not have been um true for you and it might not have been helpful and sometimes not even validating um so karen what i'm saying is that i'm not a fan of the book i'm not a fan of the book i'm not a fan of the book seeing is this picture of you um it's great the picture is that you've been waiting and waiting and waiting at the dock for the um cruise ship to be ready to load up and go and in the beginning when you were getting ready to get on the cruise ship you're like oh this is going to be so much fun i'm going to be you know unplugged from everything i'm going to get just going to get to go off and have fun i don't know anybody here i can be whoever i want i can play and it was just this picture of kind of you had this sort of perfect picture of i'm i'm leaving the dock and i'm going floating away on this boat and i'm just gonna let adventure happen but the funny thing is that the more you're waiting for the ship and you start seeing all the people coming up and getting ready and um listening to the energy around you the more you're realizing oh i don't want to be on a cruise ship it's actually kind of like being um and this is nothing against cruise ships i'm just seeing it as this picture of you going i don't want to be on a cruise ship i want to be i want to be in a more um i want to have more adventure than that and it looks like you had a picture that you're that you're pulling your energy out of that in order to go create on some level you had to go like it had to be sort of pre-arranged or and i don't know if this makes sense to you but it's kind of like it had to be sort of um structured or um plugging into the structure or being pre-arranged and in the picture of the cruise ship it looks like you just decide you're waiting and waiting and waiting for you like you're you start pulling your energy out of the picture of i need that in order to go create and what i see is this this other part of this is and definitely with the trust but it looks like you weren't trusting yourself to just go off on your own and have your own adventure it's like you needed the pre-arranged cruise and you know that can be fun too but what i see is you're you're actually getting a little wilder now you're looking at how do i go create something that where i make it up i start from the beginning so there is a trust i see another picture of you um you you stop like kind of waiting and it looks like you're ready to really just sort of go off in a direction and start to play and it really does look like it's about play too letting yourself play which is pretty important here you know the spirit plays your spirit knows how to play and your spirit won't be an effort if you let it play so i think it looks to me like you're getting ready to be done um really trying too hard or being in so much effort and starting to play excellent right on looks good to me excellent i had an experience over the weekend where i really wanted just an answer to something and i just thought to myself what what is that you know from my higher self i want an answer and i have to be able to understand it and i got it right i'm not sure if that's the right answer i'm not sure if that's the right answer i'm not sure if that's the right answer i'm not sure if that's the right answer good and i thought okay if i can do that then i bet i could get some other answers yep you left you left gilligan's island you're not going out on a three-hour tour oh that's so great good for you karen so great all right thank you chris thank you so much for calling and for listening bye you're welcome okay bye i love that my last caller karen called in with a great question for us today karen's a great question for us today karen's a great question for us today you know, she just brought something to the table that I meant to bring up tonight and it would have eventually gotten here, but I'll bring it up now, which is creating with your spirit and not being an effort does have a lot to do with trust.
It's you deciding I'm going to trust myself.
Hello.
That's a beautiful thing.
So I think my next caller is here as well.
And I, I will say, hello.
Hi, you're live.
Hi, how are you?
Good evening.
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm well.
What's your name?
My name is Bonnie.
Bonnie, where are you calling from?
Pennsylvania.
Well, thanks for listening and for calling in.
Um, what can I do?
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Is this your first time listening or have you been listening for a bit?
No, I actually try to catch you whenever I can.
And, um, I was away last week, so I missed your, um, show on amusement and caught it on the podcast.
I was like, I love this because I think it ties great with the non-epidemic.
Right on.
I love it.
Then I think you're going to really love August because August is going to be all about play with spirit.
And I'm just going to have a lot of different topics during August.
That'll be about that.
I mean, this actually, even though it's the last night of July, I'm starting a little early.
It was time.
It was.
So we all need to just relax a little and have less effort.
You know, we really do.
It's summertime, at least here in the Northern atmosphere.
It's time to, it's time to play a little.
And this is the time of year we get to sort of regroup.
And it looks to me, like recently we've had a big resetting, like everybody's kind of resetting their energy a bit.
So that's kind of a neat thing, but that's kind of what I've been trying to do.
Well, would you like me to look at anything for you?
Do you have a question?
Well, I, I'll leave it to you.
Well, you just brought it up.
Like I'm trying to, um, reevaluate relationships and energies.
Uh, I'm trying to reevaluate my, uh, my effortless approach to things, you know, just kind of like letting things unfold the way they're supposed to unfold and trusting that it'll happen the way it's supposed to happen.
Love that.
I'll go there.
I'm going to, I'm going to read that for you, Bonnie.
Um, so what I see is this picture that in the past you had, um, a lot of different, and these are still, some of them are still there cause it's just simply sometimes part of, you know, being in the world and being, um, you know, kind of doing business with everybody.
But the picture is like having a lot of connections into you from others, but on a body level.
So it looks to me like there, and here's what I mean by that, like an energy cord, a connection, a line of energy, a demand on your energy.
Right.
And you handled a lot of demands on your energy and you still do because you're a very, you know, you get a lot done.
You look like you're very responsible.
You get stuff done.
You're, you know, no, you just like, no, no nonsense, get stuff done.
And so there's been a responsible, did I already say responsible?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I say responsible.
I'll say it again.
But anyways, In my world, I'm, I'm pretty responsible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, I, I am saying responsible.
So, Which is okay as long as it doesn't make you feel like you're walking in mud all day long.
Exactly.
But that's the reason I'm bringing it up because there's a difference.
And, and I'm, I don't think, I don't know if I even did a show on this yet, but if I didn't, I'm going to, I might, I must've done one because this is a big one for me too, but the responsibility for things you're not responsible for.
And I see the energy plug, that's plugged into you at a third chakra level, which is that one right in the solar plexus, you know, the doing chakra, um, about sort of a demand on what you're supposed to do with your energy or what you're supposed to use your energy for.
And now that's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's just that what I see you're doing now with your resetting, the picture I see is you're pulling all these cords out of that chakra.
Like it looks like you pull them out and you look at them and some of them you plug back in and some of them you're like, I don't need this.
And there's just this sort of neutrality that you're finding, you know, like a, a not worried about it or nonjudgment with some of the things you used to be worried about.
Um, and another way to look at it is this, that the, when you in the past were even more responsible than you are now, you would run that, run the problem through you, kind of like letting something sort of run through you and sometimes feel like it's running you.
And what I see you're learning how to do, and this is the place I would, I would very much encourage you to continue to do that.
Continue to work on and really, you know, give yourself permission to unplug whatever doesn't work for you because it just takes your energy.
Um, but it looks like that's what you're doing is resetting how you see what your responsibilities are.
So where your agreements with many people have been to be responsible and that's not necessarily bad, but when you become responsible for their work or them or, um, you know, something that's really not your job, it just gets in the way of you creating.
And what I see you resetting now is that what do you get to create?
You know, what do you get to have?
What do you get to, what is your priority?
So it looks like you're resetting all the priorities and it looks great.
I'm having a little trouble moving into the direction of what is the new priority?
Well, are you, well, I'm not going to tell you what it should be, but I'm going to ask you a couple of things.
Do you write?
Do you sit down and write to yourself?
Do you journal?
I do.
I use it as a way to clear my head.
Perfect.
I would keep, I would keep writing it because it looks to me like what you assumed it would be is not what it is.
And I keep seeing creating like on some level of creativity.
Maybe that's not the direction you'll be in full time, but you're already a creator.
It looks like creating, creating your way into finding your answers.
Remember, um, if you heard what Karen said, the last caller, she said that this past weekend, she, she needed an answer on something and she just asked herself.
And she got her answer.
And it looks like that's part of what you are working toward, um, really accessing for yourself is your own ability to get your own information.
Yeah.
I'm trying to work on my, uh, trusting my intuition and my gut on how I feel about things.
Well, pull everybody else out of there and get it for you.
You know what I mean?
It's hard to do that.
Like, but that's, it's an empowering thing that's been happening.
Just trying to reevaluate things and walking away from relationships that don't, that feel heavy and wrong and trying to just think about what makes me feel better about me.
Exactly.
You're already strong, but if you start, if you start to learn how to say no to what doesn't work, it's going to help you.
And just to, you know how it is, it's a piece by piece basis.
Like what's working today, what's not.
So it makes it so much fun.
It actually can be more fun and meditation will help you.
Grounded meditation will absolutely help you.
Right.
I have a couple of your, um, meditations from your website, that I've downloaded that I like to listen to.
Good.
Yeah.
I'm working on the meditation.
I don't know if I'm making much headway, but I'm trying.
It's a process.
It's like learning how to do.
How do you feel like it's in your head and you wonder how much is valid and how much is just in your head?
Well, that's, um, a pretty common comment from a lot of people until they start giving themselves permission and it takes some time.
So there's the, if it's in your head or you start analyzing it or judging it, then you're not working from neutral.
You're working from that part, the mind, you're not working in the body and the spirit.
So the point of meditation is to bring your body and spirit closer and your mind's always going to get, you know, butt in and say, I have an opinion about this.
Right.
Like half of the people that you know.
Exactly.
Everybody's got an opinion.
Our opinions are cheap and free and easy.
Yeah.
Opinions are slots sometimes.
Right.
Right.
Those slutty opinions.
Less and less about them.
Yeah.
Exactly.
So anyway, you got to like, Yeah.
Own it yourself and that's what you're stepping up to do.
It's just a process.
It's daily working it and practicing and you'll get there.
I'm trying.
Good.
Well, thank you for calling in.
I really appreciate it.
Well, thank you so much.
It's nice hearing your voice.
Thank you, Bonnie.
Thank you for your show.
You're terrific.
Bye.
Oh, thank you.
Bye.
Hey everybody.
I'm Chris Cahill and you're listening to me live tonight on July 31st, 2013.
And I'm coming to you from skidrowstudios.com and that is real radio on the internet.
According to my friend Mindy here on the boards, we have a full night of shows and I'm the first one.
I'm here every Wednesday from seven till eight o'clock Pacific time with my show psychic every day.
So if you just join me or you are considering joining me, you're not even here yet, but you just know you will because your intuition's all over it.
Come on, get in here.
And if you want to get a reading, call me.
I'm at 1-800-893-9562.
And I'm here every Wednesday from seven to eight o'clock Pacific time.
So if you're interested in joining me, you're welcome.
I'm here every Wednesday or you haven't had permission to be who you are, or you've been kind of running into a wall about it.
You're not sure what it is.
Like, what do I want to do?
Who am I?
Well, then you might be running into effort about your own energy.
And that's a big thing.
You know, one of the magical things about movies and Hollywood and, you know, cause I live out here in the land of law and I like it, but one of the fun things about that is that people have permission to pretend to be who they That's what performers do, performers of all kinds.
And so it's really lots of fun for them, you know, and that's a good thing.
We have fun watching people become.
We might have fun becoming something we're not too.
It might be fun to play a role sometime or to pretend in order to, you know, enjoy yourself on some level or to find an answer for yourself.
But it's good to remember who you really are.
And if you forget who you really are, you don't know your own energy or you forget what it is, then you might find yourself in a lot of effort about actually owning who you are and being who you are.
It's going to be really hard for you then to access your own information, your own answers, and your abilities.
You know, not just those psychic abilities you have.
That's the stuff that I do full time and I work at it.
But also your creative abilities.
Your healing.
Your healing abilities, your own knowledge, your ability to validate your intellect and what you know and what you've learned, what you create.
It'll be hard for you to access what it is that you want to bring out from yourself, like your own truth within, unless you really allow yourself to be who you are.
So one really great way to get out of effort, if you've been feeling like you've been in just a ton of effort and things are sluggish and muddy and they're not working, or you're...
You've been feeling pretty stuck, start to work on who you are.
Work on your own self-knowledge, your own information, your knowing you.
And not just knowing who you are and learning what that is, but really owning it and also loving who you are.
Being kind to yourself, being nice.
A lot of times we've...
You know, we were all taught to, you know, be in effort and show your work and show up and make a big effort and everyone's going to validate you for it.
And it's...
And it's...
And it's...
And it's...
And it's great and you'll get lots of rewards and blah, blah, blah.
And a lot of that's great.
You know, it's lovely to be able to be excellent out in the world and to do what you want to do and show up and bring that, you know, and have people say, wow, I really enjoyed it.
Like, I really love it when people tell me that they got something out of something I wrote or one of my shows.
But I work at it too.
And I'm going to work at it no matter what.
But I do like that.
And I'm sure you do too for yourself.
You like to get...
You get validated for what it is that you're bringing to the table when you're doing your work.
And for you, it will have a lot more meaning and a lot more fun if you are able to do it from your own truth, your own spirit, which makes it easier for you to not being in effort, to not be in effort.
There's a difference between being in effort and making an effort.
If you want to work with your spirit and access your spiritual abilities, effort just gets in your way.
You are effectively standing in front of yourself, blocking your own progress.
So we've been talking about effort, non-effort, and making an effort.
Making an effort means you show up and do your work.
So, you know, you practice your guitar.
You spend your time writing.
You go to the meetings that you really want to go to to meet the people you want to meet.
You get up.
You get up.
You get up in the morning and, you know, go work out.
You do all this stuff.
But it doesn't have to be about being in effort.
If you want to be able to have what it is that you like to have for yourself and who you are, having takes no effort.
Not at all.
It's when you find yourself in effort that you're getting stuck in some other energy or some other way of thinking about it.
You might have a belief that, the only thing that's real, the only thing that really exists in the world, is what I can prove or see right in front of me.
So getting back to trust, you know, and thanks again for the people who brought that up earlier.
Getting back to trust.
If you learn how to trust your own self and your own spirit, then you'll find it's a lot less effort to get your answers and to be who you are.
Isn't that a lovely thing?
Now, I know you know you want a reading and you can get one.
You still have a lot of time.
The number here is 1-800-893-9562.
And you can call in and get a reading about, oh, your spirit, your growth, your questions about what you're working on, and also effort.
Again, non-effort, effort, being in effort, all the rest of it.
Let's see now.
I have a couple little notes here I wanted to get into.
I'll tell you.
I know this sounds kind of funny.
Some people enjoy being in effort, and they're suspicious of non-effort.
Effort might be the thing that makes it real for them.
You know, they might really feel that, wow, it's real.
I tried hard.
I worked so hard.
I worked for 30 years nonstop, and then I, you know, finally did this thing.
And that could be exactly what they want.
That's what they wanted to do, and they needed it.
They had to prove to themselves that if they put in the effort, they were going to do it.
And they might be also forgetting that they can just simply trust and allow.
It might be that that was, you know, that was their deal.
That was their mock-up.
That's what they wanted.
But for somebody else, that might not work at all.
They might do it much faster because they decided that they're going to work with their spirit.
They're going to start accessing a higher level of themselves and bringing it in.
And things might move faster for that person because they are now working with the spirit.
So we're going to be getting into more of this after my next caller.
And hello there.
You are live on the air.
Hi.
Hi, Chris.
It's Cindy from Los Angeles.
How are you?
I'm good, Cindy.
Good to hear your voice.
How are you?
I'm well.
Good.
I like your topic a lot tonight.
I had to call in.
I'm glad you did.
Thank you.
Right on.
So what do you do?
What do you have to say about it?
Or do you have a comment or do you have a question?
Yeah, I have a question about something I'm going through right now that has to do with effort.
So I've been seeing someone for like a month about.
And as I like this person more, I find that I'm in more effort being around them.
Like I'm more...
It's like I'm watching...
I'm more myself and I'm not just like being myself.
And it's really irritating to me.
Yeah.
Because I only do it because now I like this person.
Whereas I wasn't doing it at all before.
Right.
Before when you had more neutrality, you were just able to be yourself, which is what attracted this person to you also.
Because you had permission just to be you.
And now it's like you're somehow...
And that's the energy to look at.
I'm going to look at what is the demand on you to somehow...
It's like a...
It's like a perfect picture, like to not be...
That who you are somehow isn't enough.
It's really funny.
The picture is that before you were like on the shelf in your own store and you weren't too worried about it.
You're like, yeah, yeah, this is who I am.
This is what I have.
You know, kind of like what you see is what you get.
I'm right here.
And it was fine.
You know, it was also...
It was all very relaxed.
And then it looks like as you feel like you're starting to be examined more on some energy, energetic level, sort of like more...
You're having to bring more out.
And I see this energy of that you have a fear in your space.
And some of it's not your energy, but it looks like it's sort of this fear that you will...
That you'll be found out somehow.
You know, and it's not that there's anything you're hiding.
But the picture is don't let yourself be seen too much.
And it's not your energy.
It's like I keep seeing it as this sort of...
Kind of family group energy.
Kind of this perfect energy of don't be seen too much.
Or it has to look a certain way.
Like there's a veneer it has to have.
Or that you have to have.
And I don't see you failing or being wrong here.
I just see that there's this demand that you somehow...
That it's not okay to just be who you are.
It looks like you went from being all relaxed and not really worried about certain things to now there's this...
It looks like your whole space tightens up.
You get very...
You get...
It's like you feel like now you have something big to lose.
That's the picture.
But it looks like what you forgot is that the only thing that's really worth holding on to here in this whole thing is yourself.
You know, you forget.
It's like it looks like when it comes...
When push comes to shove, there's a demand that somehow you aren't as important as other people.
And this is not conscious on your part.
It's not you trying to do this.
But it looks like there's a demand.
That you have to sort of bend over backwards or change who you are in order to please others.
And it's not like you're trying to do that.
You don't even like it.
But you're like, you know, it's this energy of somehow it's not good enough.
That it's not okay to, you know, be seen maybe without somehow looking perfect or without having a certain quality, you know, that other...
And I just keep seeing.
And I don't mean to be disrespectful of her.
But I keep seeing your mother's energy.
And it's not about...
It's not about her saying this to you.
But it sort of looks like an energy she's had too or that was given to her.
And it looks like it's this energy of somehow you can't...
You're not supposed to be seen with your hem down or your, you know, that things aren't perfect.
And that's not how you behave in everyday life.
But it looks like when you feel like you have something to lose, you're really kind of doubting yourself.
It looks like you forget to trust your own spirit.
You know, getting back to tonight's topic, you forget to trust your own spirit about the fact that you are fine just as you are.
And this looks to me too like it's an energy that gets in between you and yourself as a being.
So it looks to me like if one thing you can do to help yourself with this is clean up the energy between you, body and spirit.
You know, that body being communication.
You know how to do this.
But to go in and kind of clean up the energy between you and yourself.
You know, to make it easier for you to be in communication with yourself.
Because it looks like...
At this point, you kind of...
There's a fog between you and yourself.
And it wasn't there before.
So I don't see there's anything here you can solve or that you have to solve.
It looks like it's more about renegotiating your agreement with yourself.
What if it became more important for you to really be happy with who you are and know that that's actually what this person wants anyway?
If you find yourself ever dating somebody who doesn't think you're good enough being who you are, then that's not your person.
And I don't see it happening now.
I just see that you're doing that to yourself.
It's sort of like you're the one overseeing and being critical and judgmental of yourself in this process.
So that's your mind.
That's your, you know, analytical side.
Get it out of your way.
Get your body and spirit back together here.
And clean it up.
And I know you can do this.
Like, just start working it.
Does that make sense, Cindy?
Yeah.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I hope it helps.
It looks like you can...
You can clear this up.
Like, do it as a healing for yourself.
Okay.
You know?
Yeah.
Thanks for clarifying that.
That's exactly what it feels like.
And, yeah, I just have to remember that, like, it's about me.
It is about you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because you have a mock-up.
You want to have a happy relationship.
You know?
Why not?
I mean, it's about the other person, too.
But it has to be about me.
You know?
On your end, it has to be about you.
You know?
Yeah.
And on his end, it's got to be about him.
Like, if he was getting all, you know, uncomfortable the more he was around you because he liked you, you'd feel it.
You know?
You'd be like, what's the deal?
What is he...
Why is he being weird?
You know?
Or whatever that is.
So, clean up the energy on your end for you so you can enjoy this.
You can have more fun.
Okay.
Okay?
All right.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Good luck.
Thanks for calling and for listening.
Bye.
Bye.
Yay.
Yay.
Non-effort.
I'm Chris Cahill.
You're listening to Psychic Every Day at skidrowstudios.com.
And I am live tonight, which means I'm giving readings on the air.
The number is 1-800-893-9562.
And we have about another 15 minutes in tonight's show.
I'm really happy that you're here with me.
Thank you so much for listening and for calling in those of you who have been.
And I really appreciate that so many people have been listening to the podcast.
I always love getting that feedback.
And if you feel like you want to leave me some feedback at iTunes, please do.
You can leave me a review.
It's very easy to do.
And you can, you know, that always helps.
Every little bit does.
So, thank you.
We are going back to about being an effort and non-effort.
Now, I was just talking about some people enjoy being an effort and are suspicious of non-effort.
And they might have believed a lie that said you have to...
That they needed to see it to believe it.
And what I'm doing tonight is actually really more along the lines of saying hello to your spirit.
Saying hello to your truth, your own spirit, not to the thing that puts you in effort, which might be a demand that you listen to other people's judgment or that you kind of go with that.
Okay.
And I have another caller right now.
Good evening.
Hi.
You're live.
Hi, Chris.
It's Leanne.
Leanne.
Welcome.
How are you?
Thank you.
Good.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
Good.
How are you liking tonight's topic?
It's a great topic.
And it's one that really hits home for me.
It's something I think I work on a lot.
Just being what I do for a living between being a dancer and a personal trainer.
I'm used to having to work really hard to produce results.
And it's something that...
I feel like now as I'm trying to manifest different job opportunities and booking gigs and whatnot, I struggle with the balance between actually putting in the hard work and then also sitting back and letting go.
And letting things happen.
Yeah.
Well, that's about letting go of control, too, which is another part of what we're going to be getting into a little bit.
That's the trusting and the letting go of control.
But would you like me to look at...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Would you like me to look at that for you?
Yes, please.
That balance.
Yeah.
And that is the...
The picture I see is you've...
So here's a picture of you on a set of scales, kind of like weights or scales, kind of like the balance.
And I see you've been on one side.
And the picture is I'm looking at the right side.
And the right side energetically on a body level and spirit level is male.
And that's about the being in effort, going out and getting.
You know, going out and being able to reach for and get the thing.
And, you know, it's more than that.
But that's just in a nutshell what that's about.
And it's important.
We have to be able to do that.
But it looks like what you have been not putting your energy into as much because it's been difficult, more difficult to trust it.
And you know what I'm going to say.
It's that left side, the female side, which everybody has, you know, everyone, anyone listening to this, not about men and women.
It's everybody has both male and female energy.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
So you're trying to learn how to trust your ability to receive, to allow.
Right.
And that's your spirit as well.
It's not just the, you know, it looks like it's about the demand to be the body rather than be the spirit or to let the two work together.
And you're learning how to do the both.
And what I see you're learning how to do is make it real enough for yourself.
The picture is letting it.
It's letting it be real enough for you that you own it so much that you're not worried what anyone thinks.
Right.
Because, you know, there's on the one hand, and I'm, you know, I'm a business person too.
You have to step up and do your business work.
You've got to show your face and do your thing and make sense and all the rest of it.
But then there's the part of you that's the artist, the creator.
And not only are you creating as a dancer and a choreographer and a teacher, you're also creating yourself.
Right.
And this is the place where you haven't necessarily had permission to just do that.
You can do that without worrying about what others want or what they think you should be.
So that to me looks like, you know, you're right on target, Leanne.
It's exactly where you're working.
And I don't see that there's a problem.
It looks like it's directing your energy in that direction consciously.
Right.
Giving yourself permission to not give a crap whoever, you know, about other people's opinions, in other words, from time to time.
I like that.
Yep.
Okay.
I know you can do that.
I'm going to call you back.
Thank you.
Thanks for calling.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
Oh, yeah.
We're getting into trust and letting go of control.
And for those of you who are really good control freaks out there, raise your hands.
And that would be me too sometimes, I got to tell you.
But it is about that, being able to have your spirit and trust that part of you.
And there's no effort required when you have that.
None at all.
And it becomes pretty magical and pretty wonderful.
I have another caller.
Yay.
Hi.
You're live.
Welcome.
Hi, Chris.
Hi.
Who's this?
This is Audrey from Chicago.
Oh, hi.
How are you?
Your name just cut out.
Say it again.
Excuse me.
It's Audrey from Chicago.
Audrey.
Audrey.
Good to hear you.
Good to hear you.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm fine.
We've met briefly in the past, in our art past.
Yes.
Probably over a decade ago.
Wow.
Nice.
And I'm listening to your awesome live stream.
Oh, yeah.
Well, thanks.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm glad you're here.
It's so nice to hear your voice.
Blast from the past for both of us.
Exactly.
Nice.
Well, what can I look at for you?
Do you have a question?
Well, I was actually thinking about effort, and I am now a mom in the past.
I was an artist, and I was in love with that, creating and finding other energies.
And I had a control over...
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know how they viewed me and how they viewed me.
Am I cutting it?
No, I can hear you.
I can hear you.
Okay.
But I need you to move a little faster, because we only have about 10 minutes, and I have a few more callers.
Sure.
That's all right.
Go ahead.
Absolutely.
And so now I'm in this space where I'm a mom, and my mystery is gone, and I kind of just wanted to get a reading from you...
Excellent. ...how I'm going to get to my future and see if I'm going to find my art's freedom again.
Well, what I see is it's great.
There's no pre-format.
There's no pre-format.
There's no pre-forecast future.
I don't predict a thing, because it's ridiculous.
Right.
Of course.
We create it, but what I see is the demand has been for you to be the mom, and that's not a bad thing.
You chose it, but for you to be the body.
It's like the responsible body.
We need to be both, body and spirit.
And it looks like the thing that helps you start moving toward you creating your creative, artistic future is starting to give it some time and space.
Not worrying about what it needs to be.
It looks like you keep trying to plug in or ground to a picture that you think you should create.
This is what I need to focus on.
And instead, what I'm looking at is what you're learning from your child or children is playing, and that's what it looks like will help you, is to playing.
Follow your heart right now.
Make messes.
Go create stuff.
Follow whatever your intuition tells you or whatever your interest is, and it's going to help you.
It's going to loosen up.
And it's going to help you start to find it.
Right?
Yeah, just loosen up.
Thank you.
Definitely.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
That helps.
Oh, good.
I'm glad.
And thank you so much, Audrey.
Appreciate it.
Thanks, Kris.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
We've got just a few minutes left here, and I do have a couple more callers I'll try to get to tonight.
I just want to say a couple things.
Don't forget about your spirit.
Really don't think that it's all about you in the body working hard at everything every day.
If you're listening to what people are saying as they're calling in and listening to this show, you'll see it.
It's not about you.
It's about your spirit.
It's all about you in the body working hard at everything every day.
If you're listening to what people are saying as they're calling in and listening to this show, you'll see it for yourself, too.
It's got to be about you playing on some level or listening to your own intuition, your own inner truth, and then that way you'll be able to get out of effort.
I do have another caller I'd love to take right now.
Hi.
Welcome.
You're live.
Hi.
This is Lauren.
Hi, Lauren.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
Thanks for listening and for calling.
And I'm sorry to rush you, but I do have a few minutes here and there's another person, too, so I'd love to give you a reading if you can tell me what you'd like to- That would be wonderful.
Just on the topic, it seems like things happen very easily for me and then somewhere in the middle effort gets in the way.
I mean, not giving effort, but kind of getting stuck in that heavy feeling of effort.
Well, here's what I see.
I see a couple things.
One, the first picture is that you are naturally good at just making...
You create the picture and you're like, hey, this is easy.
I can do this.
And you start creating it because it's not a problem for you.
It's actually very true for you as a being to be able to do this.
And then it looks like you hit one of two things or maybe both at the same time.
One, other people.
And you start doing something and you're in non-effort and it's really simple and you're really happy and you want to talk about it with somebody and you might share it with a friend or a workmate or your family.
And all of a sudden, it's not working.
All of a sudden, it's a lot of effort.
Is that making sense to you?
Absolutely.
Okay.
Are you paying attention?
Oh, yeah.
Start paying attention to that because it might mean that you need to change your tactics.
Perhaps you don't want to tweet it right after you do it.
You know what I'm saying?
Sure, sure.
And then the other thing is, as soon as that happens, you start analyzing it or trying to figure it out or make sense of it.
When actually you were fine to begin with.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
working with your spirit and there was no effort and it made sense to you.
So what I would suggest is next time, shut up.
Oh, I love it.
Okay.
Keep it to yourself.
You know the expression, keep your own counsel.
Sometimes that's really, really important and you got to.
And then after you get the thing done and you're ready to put it out there, go ahead and do that.
Now, I'm not suggesting that you have to always be alone and not share your work.
It looks like you can find people to trust who, you know, if you need partners to work with or people to feed stuff off of, you know, get feedback.
That's important too, but it looks to me like you could share less and get further.
Yeah.
All right.
That sounds like good advice.
Thank you.
Thanks for listening, Lauren.
Appreciate it.
Okay.
Bye.
You too.
All right, everybody.
We've got a few more minutes and I am really enjoying this.
This is one of my favorite topics too.
Working with your spirit is so rewarding when you really listen to yourself.
And that last caller was, she had just a great example for anybody listening to this.
If you've ever had that happen to you, pay attention because you're, you might be giving it away when you don't need to give it away.
You just want to protect what you're doing for a little bit until you're ready to get to share it, to tell people.
All right.
I have one more caller for tonight.
Who will it be?
Hi, you're live.
Cool.
All right.
I've been on hold.
What great hold music Skid Row Studios has.
Excellent.
Don't they?
Skid Row Studios has great everything music.
It's all good.
Yeah.
I've seen that place.
It's very nice.
Right on.
Good.
What's your name?
My name is Jake.
Well, Jake, would you like a short reading?
I have literally about two minutes to read you here.
That'd be great.
I'd love a reading.
Do you have anything?
You want me to start with or just take a look at the energy of effort?
Let's just take a look at the energy and effort.
And what I'm going to do is look at the energy of effort and you and what I see you doing.
The picture I see right off the bat is this picture of you.
You've been sanding at this piece of beautiful wood for a long time.
And the picture is, it's like, you know, just a beautiful kind of precious piece of, you know, like a slab of wood, kind of like a tabletop.
And you've got one of those little smooth, sander thing and you've been sanding away at it and getting rid of the snags and making it really effortless to do this.
But it looks like you've done the top side.
And it looks like you're, you're like thinking, do I want to keep the bottom rough, you know, like the other side?
Should I just let it be more natural and rougher?
I want to see what this means because it's, it's kind of a wild picture to look at.
And what I see is...
That's crazy accurate.
Is it?
Yeah.
Do you sand wood?
No, but I'm working on a project.
I've been debating whether I should go forward with it or not, because on the surface, it looks amazing.
Underneath what's happening is just garbage.
Yeah.
It looks like it's, it's been scary.
Like that's the picture of the rough side is it's scary and it's going to, it's going to make me work.
I'm going to have to work too hard and there's no, what I see is you're looking at it going, I don't see the reward in doing that too.
So it does look like that.
And the smooth side looks, you said perfect.
And I was going to say, it looks really, really good.
It's almost like it's this really perfect picture of what it should be.
Yeah.
From the outside, it's fantastic.
Yeah.
From the outside, it looks great.
But what I see is when I look for your truth in here, it looks like actually you want to do something and this is not me telling you, you have to, but it looks like you want to do something completely different.
And maybe...
There's an accuracy to that.
Yeah.
It's like this inspires you on some level.
It looks to me like the polish of the outside, how it looks is inspiring you to go create something that's actually more, more integrity somehow, like more of an integrity within it.
And so what I'm looking at is with your, you not being an effort, it looks like if you try to go fix this thing or make sense of it or make it work, you're going to be taking on a problem that's not your problem and it'll be really hard for you to work with it.
I don't like to predict.
I just say, it looks like you might do better putting your energy and making an effort on something that is more interesting to you.
It looks like you're getting inspired right now.
Yeah.
That's a very, wow.
You actually, I think I may have a gift.
Oh yeah.
Well, it's what I do.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for calling.
All right.
I'm glad you did.
Thanks.
Bye.
