Are you ready, ready to release internal pain to find confidence, clarity and direction for your future, to live a life of meaning, fulfillment and contribution to trust your intuition again, but something's been holding you back, you've come to the right place. Welcome. I'm a Ian Hawkins, the host and founder of The Grief Code podcast. Together, let's heal your unresolved or unknown grief by unlocking your grief code. As you tune into each episode, you will receive insight into your own grief, how to eliminate it, and what to do next. Before we start by one request, if any new insights or awareness land with you during this episode, please send me an email at info at the Ian Hawkins coaching.com. And let me know what you found. I know the power of this word, I love to hear the impact these conversations have. Okay, let's get into it.

Again, again, I see people seeing a new movement, a new way of being a new behavior and being so passionately advocate doing against the why. If it's not doing any damage to you, if it's not any of your concern, if it's not having an impact, then just come back and focus on yourself. Or the one that really has been quite prevalent that I've seen in the last 12 months is this concept of New Age ideology. And people being very at New Age. What is new age mean? Anyway, like, it's just another label that people are fired at something. They've bundled all these people into this idea of new age. And they've got all these different ideas. But as usual, everyone's got a different spin on it. But to me that the whole concept of new age is around people having a deeper connection to their intuition, to their guidance. So my personal opinion is people fearing new age or your audiology is actually fearing their own infinite power. Maybe they see things like people doing card reading, people doing meditations, people doing healing. What's the other one, using a pendulum to get to get answers all of these different things that people call out. Being things being too fluffy or too happy or too this and that it's not your place to tell others how they should or shouldn't be doing things. It's if you really want to help people, it's here's an alternative idea. And here's some things you can try that will help you find your way. This idea of cutting other people's stuff down it's just not helpful. And like I said, it's a fear of their own infinite power, their own infinite potential. People dabbling in that area sounds all too scary. Sometimes the religious people are the ones that are particularly fearful of it because it's outside of the realms of their current belief system.

So don't let anyone else tell you what you should or shouldn't do. Don't read someone else's post bundling a certain behavior into a into a certain ideology or a certain group and then go ahead not do that because that particular person said it was no good. I had that interaction with someone just recently. And they were saying oh, you know, we got tall we shouldn't do this, this and this because it's new age. What does it mean? What is the New Age mean? Just another example of people creating fear, but not actually creating a solution. If if one of these things like card reading or PDF pendulums or what all these things are people saying they're no good, like if it helps someone to feel better, great. They're not gonna do forever. It's a stepping stone. Everyone's taking their own steps. Everyone's done things in the past that they would now look back and go little man, what was I thinking then? But it was part of the steps was part of the process was part of the growth journey. Man, I've got a heap of things like that where I look back and cringe. But then I always remind myself, it was just part of the unraveling, the unraveling of old beliefs, old ways, or dabbled in something because it seemed to work for a while until it didn't, and I went on to something else. People get too caught in what's right and what's wrong. Externally, instead of coming back and looking at what's right for them, and doing more of that someone like I said, Don't let anyone else's fear around certain ideas stop you from pursuing and doing your own research and doing your own questioning and finding your own solutions. If they work great. And if they stopped working, try something else. This judgment just is not helpful. It's not helping any of us come together and creating more unity and harmony. We need to find a way to coexist not more ways to divide.
