Episode Highlights
Janelle’s Passion
The thing she’s always 100% most excited about is healing.
Being a single mom, she turned to healing and eventually turned to helping other people awaken to that journey.
She channels healing through writing, filmmaking, courses, and retreats.
The Biggest Obstacle in Quarantine
It’s the mystery of the unknown of how long this is going to last.
Everybody likes to have control of their lives and schedules.
These limiting energies come out as blame, rage, and anger. It can be transitional and helpful, but when we are locked into them, it can feel hopeless.
Because the pandemic is happening on a global scale, it brings people together.
Advice for People Going Through Their Spiritual Journey During This Time
Step into what makes you human and allows the full kaleidoscope of emotions within you.
Allow yourself to tap into these emotions, but don’t go so deep into them. Just be aware of them.
Practicing mindfulness amid a crisis or loneliness can be difficult. But it's essential to go into the foundations that make us human and turn to them as much as we can.
The easiest way to tap into these elements is through breathing.
Easing the Feeling of Inertia and Heaviness
It’s all about baby steps. Be gentle and patient with yourself.
Go in meditation and close your eyes. Imagine putting a bubble around you and calling in a form that can be your shield and protector.
Cut the barrier between you and the rest of the world.
Take away the energy that doesn’t belong, and you’re going to feel lighter.
How to Avoid Energy Vampires on Social Media
A lot of times, we paint energy vampires as toxic people.
Some energy vampires are just jealous or envious, but there are also people who see the light in you and try to grab hold of that.
When a person's energy is sucked, they may feel like they need to give their energy away because they unconsciously remember someone they need to please.
When you start to recognize that in yourself, it will be empowering.
Try to see the other person as another human who's just looking for a connection.
Mindfulness in Using Social Media
Be aware of the unseen elements that create negative energies on social media.
Janelle says that it’s valuable to put a shield around you before you get on social media.
Even though we are interacting on social media from across the world, we're all connected because we’re all made of energy.
Janelle’s Overall Relationship with Social Media as a Spiritual Ninja
She has a natural desire to challenge people and shake their beliefs.
Janelle thinks that the key to using social media is having limits.
Janelle’s Definition of Freedom
Freedom for Janelle is being able to express yourself freely, to have whatever type of relationship, and freedom from negative ego.
She believes that the biggest problem in our entire world is superiority.
Superiority keeps us so separate from each other.
5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode
“If all you can do one day is you get up and you eat, and you do the dishes, and that's like the gist of it, okay. Great. At least you did that.”
“Create a healthy boundary to create a healthy connection with that person.”
“You don't want your self-esteem to get wrapped around if people are liking your stuff or not. There’s so much different things that can get pulled into that. We have to just be honest and real; we do have feeling.”
“Freedom from superiority—I feel like that is freedom really, where you’d just be in union. You can see one another as equal, not less than, not more than.”
“I feel radically loved when I forgive myself. Maybe I don’t forgive myself or others for what they did, but I can forgive them for why they did it.”
