Beyond the Words EP37

[00:00:00] Dimple Thakrar: Hello and welcome back to me Dimple Thakrar on Beyond the Words. I have the most incredible guest today. 

[00:00:06] Dimple Thakrar: We met through the internet, I would say, 

[00:00:11] Dimple Thakrar: and then Amber came on to one of my free 

[00:00:14] Dimple Thakrar: masterclasses 

[00:00:15] Dimple Thakrar: and she blew me away.

[00:00:17] Dimple Thakrar: She blew me away with how much she took action. How much when she decided and she went for it and the results were incredible and we're going to go deeper into that. So without further a said, let me introduce Amber Harrison, welcome to Beyond the Words. Thank you so much, Amber, for 

[00:00:42] Dimple Thakrar: joining us. And before we 

[00:00:45] Dimple Thakrar: start, I just want to say I've not seen you probably in two months?

[00:00:50] Amber Harrison: Two months? Oh, it might be longer than that. I think it was maybe July, probably. It's November now, isn't it? A little bit more, isn't it? Yeah, maybe four months, something like that, yeah. Yeah, 

[00:00:59] Dimple Thakrar: and I have to say Complete transformation. Complete. You are glowing. Glowing. Talk to us a little bit, Amber, about what it is you do and the work that you do on yourself on a daily basis.

[00:01:13] Dimple Thakrar: Because clearly you were amazing before. And it's so wild for me because when I first see people, I think they're amazing already, and then they level up even more, 

[00:01:23] Amber Harrison: yeah. Do you know, it was coming into your world that did that dimple as well so thank you, and thank you so much for having me as a guest on your podcast, Beyond the Words.

[00:01:31] Amber Harrison: It's just, it's been an absolute pleasure listening to the last few weeks since you started it, so just an absolute honour to be here. Thank you so much. But yeah, the way that we met was I think you did a very quick spirit and strategy group, didn't you? And it was just, you only did it, I think you promoted it 24 hours before and for some reason it popped up and as we've talked just before we started, we're both quite intuitive, aren't we?

[00:01:55] Amber Harrison: And I was like I'm going to do it. I'm just going to do this because it's come here. It seems to be the right time. I'm going to go with it. So I signed up for it. And then there weren't that many people in the group, but there was just such an energy, wasn't there, in it? It was just incredible, absolutely incredible.

[00:02:10] Amber Harrison: And you set a challenge, didn't you, for for us to choose one of three mysteries. And we didn't know what was going to be in those mysteries, but they were priced different prices, and I chose one, and it ended up being that we could ask you a question every day for seven days. Anything at all. Phew!

[00:02:26] Amber Harrison: Oh my goodness, it was incredible, that was the energy that I got from the Freedom of that alone, thinking, what on earth do I ask you? What, 

[00:02:36] Amber Harrison: what do I say? It 

[00:02:37] Amber Harrison: could be anything. Now, if I'd have been, if I'd have done that challenge, even six months prior, I wouldn't have known what to do. I'd have just run a mile, to be completely honest.

[00:02:47] Amber Harrison: I just wouldn't have been able to cope with it. But at that point, In my life, I was so ready for it, Dimple. So it was exactly, it was so aligned with me. Because before that, the two years before, two and a half years before that maybe, I've been doing a lot of work on myself. I'd also been doing a lot of retraining and heart healing.

[00:03:05] Amber Harrison: So I was building up my sort of, my professional persona really which was new because of, I had a spiritual awakening two and a half years ago. And From the back of that, I was totally changing my life around. I was always doing very much in the masculine.

[00:03:22] Amber Harrison: Came into your spirit and strategy group and I think I said to you, didn't I? Spirit is a feminine, strategy was a masculine. Like I just want to be in my feminine at the moment. Sod that masculine. Want to be in the feminine. So everything. Everything I was doing was like intuition. So that challenge was just like magic to me.

[00:03:43] Amber Harrison: Seven days of just going with my intuition. And it coincided with I was going down to Falmouth to help my daughter move house as well. And it's just beautiful that I feel very spiritually connected in Falmouth. And so I took myself off into these, I said to my daughter, my son, I'm going, I need to do my question to Dimple every day.

[00:04:02] Amber Harrison: And off I went to the end of the pier or, off onto the beach and just connected to my heart, quietened my soul, and just thought, what do I need to ask Dimple? And it was 

[00:04:12] Dimple Thakrar: such 

[00:04:12] Amber Harrison: a journey, wasn't it? For those seven days, it was just beautiful. Tony Robbins and relationships, and it was just so exciting.

[00:04:21] Amber Harrison: And the, What I got from it, Dimple, along with the heart healing training that I was doing at the time, was that a real connection to who I was and what I wanted. And it just, something different dropped. Literally dropped. That coupled with, I think I upgraded to the second Mystery Challenge as well, didn't I?

[00:04:40] Amber Harrison: So then we had that, that Theta healing with you, and yeah, it was like a sort of bomb that went, that just Covered things around me and I shift on something major shifted within me and I just have to be in your world now. I can't not be Lovely just love it 

[00:05:00] Dimple Thakrar: bless you and please know viewers listeners.

[00:05:03] Dimple Thakrar: I did not pay up

[00:05:05] Dimple Thakrar: I love, oh my God, thank you for that. What I love, love, love about you, Amber, is that you really leaped. You really leaped. You trusted and you leaped. And you, I call it quantum leaping, right? And for me, when somebody like you trusts and leaps. 

[00:05:28] Amber Harrison: Here's 

[00:05:28] Dimple Thakrar: what I want to know. I want people to know is that I just provide the path.

[00:05:33] Dimple Thakrar: You get to walk on it if you want and you get to choose which path. I just say to you there's so many, there's so many and it's a co creation, right? So for me, that seven days was the first time I've done something like that, right? And that seven days for me, I felt your excitement. I felt your intentionality, 

[00:05:58] Amber Harrison: right?

[00:05:58] Amber Harrison: I 

[00:05:59] Dimple Thakrar: felt you shift, massively felt you, and for me, it energized me, right? So it was a symbiotic thing that was going on. Very much right? And I would love for the listeners and the audience and the viewers to talk me through how you have transitioned from, as you say, the masculine strategy over to the feminine intuition and how has that now impacted your life?

[00:06:31] Dimple Thakrar: What are the, what's the gold that's happened as a result of you just Becoming even more of yourself and allowing yourself permission to do 

[00:06:39] Amber Harrison: that. Oh, thank you. That'd be so lovely to talk about that. Yeah, again, intuitive question. Thank you very much, Dimple. Oh, I love it.

[00:06:48] Amber Harrison: So I I'm 53 now, and I had my spiritual awakening when I was 50, which is in 2020. And I know I had, a lot of people had lots of shifts then, but I'd been going through a particularly difficult time in the pre, about the four, four or five years before that. Because my daughter was suffering from a lot of trauma.

[00:07:06] Amber Harrison: And at the time, we didn't know, it was undiagnosed ADHD and dyslexia. But it was coming out as severe self harming and I just couldn't help her. She was late, middle teens and lots of different versions of self harming. It was very chronic and very difficult for both of us and we had, our relationship was absolutely diabolical and I just couldn't find a way back to her at all.

[00:07:29] Amber Harrison: And she attempted suicide in October in 2020. Yeah, exactly. I was sat at work and I got this phone call saying she's taken rather a lot of paracetamol and you need to go to her. So I rang the, rang 999, got an ambulance and got in the car and drove three hours down to where she was living at the time and, found her.

[00:07:49] Amber Harrison: Yeah, very big heart moment. What a scar 

[00:07:52] Dimple Thakrar: that you have to receive as a mother. 

[00:07:55] Amber Harrison: Absolutely. And I, she'd always said to me she wouldn't do that. She's always said, I'm never going to do that because I wouldn't want to put you through that trauma. So I knew how bad it was. I knew how bad it was.

[00:08:05] Amber Harrison: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Dimple. 

[00:08:07] Dimple Thakrar: Yeah. Just because I feel for you as a mother. So that, 

[00:08:13] Amber Harrison: That was, I won't go too deep into what happened, but there were some very traumatic times coming after that because it's, I think it would hurt, it would be too triggering for people. But but suffice to say she's good.

[00:08:25] Amber Harrison: In fact, she's more than good. She is just spectacular. And it's been a journey for both of us since then. And she went to live with my mum for a bit. With just circumstances, we couldn't live together. And she went to live with my mum. She provided a home for her, which was incredible. And in that time, we both searched for something that was bigger than us.

[00:08:44] Amber Harrison: Neither of us had a particular religious following or spiritual or, we had nothing like that in our lives. We had just been living from one trauma to the next trauma to the next trauma to the next trauma, completely in survival mode. And I'd known throughout my life, even before I had my daughter, that there was something missing.

[00:09:03] Amber Harrison: There's always been something missing for me. And we had a we had a spiritual awakening. I had a mental breakdown. She, had the attempt and we went whoosh away from each other and then found our way back to each other with our own spiritual connections in different places. Came at it from different angles, but we suddenly started saying, picked up an oracle card, have you done the same?

[00:09:27] Amber Harrison: Yeah! Picked up a tarot card, have you done the same? Yeah! Started doing yoga, have you done the same? Yeah! Started doing guided meditations, have you done the same? 

[00:09:35] Dimple Thakrar: Yeah! Wow! 

[00:09:37] Amber Harrison: We are home a lot, like lots of people were in lockdown, weren't they? We were outside a lot. We found the same things were healing us at the same time, and it was a spiritual connection, and it was really deep and profound for both of us.

[00:09:54] Amber Harrison: And it brought us back, it brought us together. I think I had post natal depression with us She's 18, I'm 50. 18 years of difficulty, I think, really, but not any longer. We're now enmeshed with each other where we have, we both have a spiritual practice in the morning that includes all of those things.

[00:10:13] Amber Harrison: So the guided meditation, we have yoga, we do it differently. We have an oracle, we oracle cards, we do journaling. We found that independently, but if we've also found dimple, when we don't do them, our heads just explode and we can't cope and everything comes back. And so it's really been important to me.

[00:10:35] Amber Harrison: Part of my healing and my everyday practice is to have this really strong hour in the morning before I do anything else, no social media, no talking to anybody. Most mornings I don't even go to the loo, but I've got to do this spiritual practice first for an hour before I leave and leave the bedroom.

[00:10:52] Amber Harrison: It's that powerful for me. Get connected, feel that sense of inner power and connect, but connection to spirit as well. And then I can cope with anything that life throws at me. I've never had anything that's been as solid as that for me. No friendship, relationship, nothing. It's just been, it's my foundation.

[00:11:12] Amber Harrison: to the rest of my life. And the other thing, and what's happened from that is it's brought all these incredible women into my life. Who feel exactly the same like yourself, and I've always been lucky. I was bullied at school by girls. I've been had this deep trauma about groups of women ever since, but now I, all I want to do is be with women.

[00:11:32] Amber Harrison: Just want to be in groups of women. And it's so enriching and life fulfilling, isn't it? It's just. Such a beautiful thing. So that's where I'm going with my business now, with spiritual psychotherapy. I want to help other women, who have had abusive relationships of any sort, whether it's friendships or siblings or parents, or it doesn't matter to them to be a partner, but I want to help them to get through that deep rooted trauma so they can get to where I am because it's just beautiful.

[00:11:59] Amber Harrison: There's no reason why we can't all do it. 

[00:12:01] Dimple Thakrar: I love it. This is there's so many things I want to bring up with this conversation. Firstly, congratulations, right? Because I really believe that 18 years was both yours and your daughter's apprenticeship to actually becoming women, to actually appreciating women and to actually understanding that the gateway of all and everything is spirituality in your own unique way.

[00:12:27] Dimple Thakrar: And you're always connected. Because what you did had an infinite impact 

[00:12:32] Amber Harrison: on her and what she does has an infinite, so it's endless, right? Yeah. And, 

[00:12:38] Dimple Thakrar: I you've just, honestly, Amber, that whole story has taken me on a journey of tears of absolute grief to joy to bliss to fully being in awe and bliss of the sisterhood.

[00:12:54] Dimple Thakrar: Thank you. Yeah. And the collective, 

[00:12:56] Amber Harrison: because we're all one anyway. Yeah, absolutely. We're all one 

[00:13:00] Dimple Thakrar: anyway. And I remember Even during the Spirit and Strategy Mastermind, you were on the cusp of really coming into your own with your business and the heart healing. And I remember you coming back and it blew me away this, you magnetized, was it four clients?

[00:13:19] Dimple Thakrar: Yes. In that time, 

[00:13:21] Amber Harrison: from nowhere. Overnight, really, I put out, I was just like, I need to do something, I need to take some action here. And because I got so aligned in that, it was only a couple of weeks, wasn't it, really? I think that, maybe it was even a week, Dimple, I can't remember. It was a week, wasn't it?

[00:13:37] Amber Harrison: Yeah, from the first session to the second. Yes. And it was all about taking action, wasn't it? And I just didn't want to do the action! Because that's doing! Ha! And then I realised with you and Helen that no, you need to do a mixture of the doing and the heavy intuition, don't you? Sit there and take 

[00:13:54] Amber Harrison: the action!

[00:13:55] Amber Harrison: Cross legged and ohm! And it will all come together! You're not 

[00:14:00] Amber Harrison: going to pay any bills, is it, that? So no, I'm going to take some action. What do I need to do? I need to get, so I put it out to the universe. I put a post out, obviously, on Facebook, but I decided I was going to have, I was going to put out, get five clients.

[00:14:13] Amber Harrison: And within 24 hours, I had three. And within 20, 20, 20, sorry, 48, I had four. Yet to have the fifth, but I don't mind. That's fine. That was great. So yeah, so it was that fast. And that kind of shocked me, because I thought, God, whoa, am I really that intentional? Really? Can I take action that quickly?

[00:14:35] Amber Harrison: It's a, it was a big lesson for me that yeah, when you get yourself absolutely aligned and ready and boom, it comes, doesn't it? There's 

[00:14:44] Dimple Thakrar: no time. There's no it doesn't what I call, that 

[00:14:47] Dimple Thakrar: is aligned action. And 

[00:14:50] Dimple Thakrar: That's the blend, right? The alignment is all the feminine and the action is the masculine.

[00:14:56] Dimple Thakrar: So when you have the two together, 

[00:14:58] Dimple Thakrar: that's when you create, right? That's the 

[00:15:01] Dimple Thakrar: creation. And it comes so fast. 

[00:15:05] Amber Harrison: It's mind blowing. It literally takes you off your feet, doesn't it? It takes your breath away. Yeah,

[00:15:10] Dimple Thakrar: I, and you know what's coming through for me, you're gonna 

[00:15:12] Dimple Thakrar: laugh now because this hasn't come through before but it's coming through now, is this whole piece on aligned

[00:15:18] Dimple Thakrar: action, right?

[00:15:18] Dimple Thakrar: So you've got, and this is by the way how I do masterclasses and how things just drop through 

[00:15:23] Amber Harrison: because I'm responsive, 

[00:15:24] Dimple Thakrar: the aligned action, right? So you've got the masculine and the feminine, the aligned is the feminine. 

[00:15:30] Amber Harrison: Action is the masculine. And then you co create, right? And that creates, 

[00:15:34] Dimple Thakrar: and it takes no time at all.

[00:15:36] Dimple Thakrar: Think about how a baby's 

[00:15:37] Amber Harrison: conceived. Yeah. It's fun! It's fun, right? 

[00:15:42] Dimple Thakrar: And it takes no time, it's a split second. When there's a lined action. Ha 

[00:15:49] Amber Harrison: Ha! Masculine and feminine, yeah, absolutely. Eh? Yeah. 

[00:15:53] Dimple Thakrar: That's the co creation, right? And, honestly, Amber, I just loved watching how you just completely created from nowhere.

[00:16:05] Dimple Thakrar: And then you were surprised, and that's the best bit, right? I still get surprised, I'm like What the 

[00:16:16] Amber Harrison: hell? The thing is, I don't want to bring down our joy, but I just want to say that the flip side of this is that you can, yeah, I've realized and I've learned and this is in the last few months since being in your world as well.

[00:16:32] Amber Harrison: But as much as there's that joyful aligned action, there's the absolute terror of the misaligned, of the aligned action. That's negative. And I'm really, I'm so paying attention to that now, I really hadn't, it was just so under my radar so that, that has been a, that's maybe the positive shiny shift that you see about me is that I've got my radar out for that now and I'm really looking for it and making sure that, I'm not going, I'm not aligning myself with things that are negative anymore.

[00:17:03] Amber Harrison: I'm paying attention to aligning myself with things that are positive. So fast, isn't it? I don't want fast negative. I want fast positive. 

[00:17:12] Dimple Thakrar: Exactly. This is what I say. I call it conscious and unconscious manifesting, right? When you're unconscious, that's what you're talking about. When you're not intentional with it.

[00:17:22] Dimple Thakrar: Oh, hold on. I'm creating this. And when you take radical self responsibility of your creation, you then become the master of it all. And so what I love about this example, Amber is. How much power you have in your creation. Yeah. Yeah. How quickly did you do it blew me away. I was like, holy fuck!

[00:17:46] Dimple Thakrar: I'm so easy! 

[00:17:48] Amber Harrison: Yeah. 

[00:17:49] Dimple Thakrar: But you have to take aligned 

[00:17:51] Amber Harrison: action. You 

[00:17:53] Dimple Thakrar: do, yeah. And aligned action. Tell people how that feels for you. What is it about 

[00:17:58] Amber Harrison: that happens? It's I feel, it's actually my heart. I feel it in my heart. My heart just, my heart It explodes. It's a bit like when you see I know what it is.

[00:18:09] Amber Harrison: I, I love watching films and I have surround sound and I have the, the, that lovely subwoofer and I have to keep it on low because I'm aware of my neighbors. But if I, if they're out, if I know everybody's out, I turn it top so I can have the base and the boom and when it goes, woo, the way round.

[00:18:25] Amber Harrison: That's what my heart feels like when it's aligned. It's like a, ooooh, goes all the way round, goes all the way round my heart, my body, my head, my feet, everything. It's just a, it's an all encompassing feeling of Yes. Yes. Just pure yes.

[00:18:41] Dimple Thakrar: For those of you who can't see what I'm doing, I'm just doing the happy dance. You stop and she's going ooooh, Like a child would, I'm just thinking of ice cream, that kind of yeah. 

[00:18:52] Amber Harrison: It's that, and it's that what we're doing now as well. It's that, that kind of when you see little children if they're opening a present or something and they get something that they didn't realise they were going to get and it's just speechless.

[00:19:04] Amber Harrison: But then you can see that excitement and that joy all over them and they're tingling, aren't they? And they're just, the smile is just as Big as the whole entire body really, isn't it? Yeah. That's what it feels like when it's aligned action. So 

[00:19:17] Dimple Thakrar: good. It's so good, honestly. And I feel exactly how you've described it, I'm 

[00:19:22] Amber Harrison: feeling it now, actually.

[00:19:24] Amber Harrison: Like a child can't contain their energy, so they 

[00:19:26] Dimple Thakrar: shake and they like Yeah. There's so much energy of joy, right? 

[00:19:32] Amber Harrison: Yeah. Absolutely. And I found that, there's, I'm meeting more and more women who make me feel like that. And that's such a pleasure because then when you work with each other, you create something way beyond anything that you could do on your own.

[00:19:46] Amber Harrison: There's that synergy and that connection. It's really profound, isn't it? And that's why I got with you, with that spirit and strategy. It was the right timing, I was right, there was there, you were there, boom. We got it, didn't we? It was 

[00:20:00] Dimple Thakrar: so good. It was so good for all and that's the other piece, right?

[00:20:07] Dimple Thakrar: For me, when it's a line of action, when it feels like that spirit and strategy I literally put out in 24 hours, I decided and put it out, 

[00:20:15] Amber Harrison: right? And then it was 

[00:20:16] Dimple Thakrar: only meant to be one. And 

[00:20:20] Amber Harrison: then I 

[00:20:24] Dimple Thakrar: was, I wasn't planning on selling anything off the back of that. It was purely a free thing. And then I was like, Oh, mystery offers.

[00:20:31] Dimple Thakrar: Never done that before. Yeah. There 

[00:20:33] Amber Harrison: was something going on, wasn't there? Boom boom. Yeah, 

[00:20:37] Dimple Thakrar: totally. Totally. And so I'd love for you now, Amber, to talk about what next, what's happening next for you. What is. 

[00:20:46] Amber Harrison: Yeah, so I've, I I think off the back of that spirit and strategy as well, I changed who I was.

[00:20:53] Amber Harrison: I'd, I was feeling around as a female entrepreneur. Who am I? What am I? What am I doing? What's my role? And I'd come across self love coaching in terms of that's what I thought was good for me, but it never really resonated. I sit around self love coaching. I like that. What's the meaning?

[00:21:06] Dimple Thakrar: Just to have a little bit of 

[00:21:08] Amber Harrison: it on my hand, and then when I went off the back of all of that, and then guessing these four clients and boom, I was like, what do I actually do? What is it that I do? And what's, what do you know? What's I, what's the heart of me? And I was like, what's that? I'm a spiritual psychotherapist.

[00:21:24] Amber Harrison: Oh, yeah. Fuck yeah. Sorry. Maybe I can't speak. Yeah. Okay. Bye. It was like a proper mic drop. I was like, that's what I am. I'm a spiritual psychotherapist. Yeah, that brings together everything that I love and how I work. So from then on, I'm so that was, that was maybe, I don't know, maybe only a couple of months ago that I got that really.

[00:21:46] Amber Harrison: And so I've been really feeling into that and I'm taking my time, Dimple, I'm not rushing into this entrepreneurship because It's not like that. I'm, definitely not for me anyway. I need to feel into what I want to do, what I want to offer to women. It's not necessarily about, what role, whether I'm a life coach or a therapist or it doesn't really matter so much, does it?

[00:22:05] Amber Harrison: What you are, it's really feeling into what you do, what you offer and how you can help others. I'm looking at my niching at the moment. So Beautiful Chamonix is helping me with that. And I'm just loving working with her as well. There's a really massive energy with her. So I'm seeing that at the moment.

[00:22:21] Amber Harrison: But I'm coming into my sort of, my total and utter scaredness and horrendousness about social media. So I'm coming into that now and realizing that, it's time for me to be visible now. I've got my heart healing qualification, so that's great. That was this sort of, on that, on the Great British Bake Off, they've got that cake and there's that missing raspberry on the top.

[00:22:40] Amber Harrison: Yes, I put it in. That was my heart healing. So I've now got my complete cake, now I can offer everything that I need to, to women to help them to heal from these abusive relationships. Because that's something I've had, I've had more than my fair share of those. And I don't want any more, and I'm not going to have any more, I'm not going to stand for it now.

[00:23:01] Amber Harrison: From now on, it's It feels great saying that! 

[00:23:05] Dimple Thakrar: I'd give a fist bump for that! Come on! Come on! 

[00:23:09] Amber Harrison: I want to live with hope, joy and tranquility. Those are my three top words. I'm moving out of the pain and the discomfort and the shallowness and the lostness. And I'm moving towards all of those.

[00:23:22] Amber Harrison: It's it's going to bed earlier, it's having a bath when I want it, it's reading a book, it's turning off the telly and having a chat, it's all those sorts of things, listening to some music, going for a walk, reconnecting with me and what's important to me, and the more that I do that, the more I can offer to other people because the more centered I am, the more grounded I am.

[00:23:42] Amber Harrison: And it's a beautiful thing. I want to, I'm looking into running women's circles, and I'm feeling into that at the moment. I'd love to do that. Bring some of my energy and give it to women, and that would be 

[00:23:53] Dimple Thakrar: amazing. That, I really see that for you. And I love that you're embodying your work. Yeah.

[00:24:00] Dimple Thakrar: You're the embodiment of your work, which is why it's so successful. I love that. And I love, As you were speaking, Amber, I was like, Hooray to the change! Hooray for menopause! Because it's Oh that's a whole 

[00:24:14] Amber Harrison: other conversation, isn't it? It 

[00:24:16] Dimple Thakrar: gives us freedom to actually go, Fuck it, I'm going to do 

[00:24:20] Dimple Thakrar: what I want to do.

[00:24:22] Dimple Thakrar: It does. Yeah. I spent a 

[00:24:23] Dimple Thakrar: lifetime doing what everybody, what I thought everybody else wanted me 

[00:24:27] Amber Harrison: to do to keep them happy. 

[00:24:28] Amber Harrison: That's the key. What you think, you thought everybody else wanted you to do when actually everybody always just wanted you to be you. Exactly. How does it take so long to realise that?

[00:24:38] Amber Harrison: No idea.

[00:24:40] Dimple Thakrar: Exactly. It's beautiful, isn't it? Exactly. So there we are. This has been a very energetic conversation. Thank you, Dimple.

[00:25:14] Dimple Thakrar: Amazing. Thank you. Thank you so much. So as we complete, I always ask my guests one final question, and that is, if you were to give somebody one piece of advice that goes beyond the words, what would 

[00:25:28] Amber Harrison: that be?

[00:25:29] Amber Harrison: I would say develop a spiritual practice that you do every day. It can look like anything you like. There is no set rules, there's no right or wrong, but connect to something bigger than you every day. So it could be that you commit to go for a walk every day. It could be that you start getting into oracle cards or tarot cards.

[00:25:48] Amber Harrison: It could be that you journal. It could be that you decide at the end of the day before you go to sleep you're going to say I am grateful for the three things and you drift off to sleep with positive thoughts in your mind. Develop a daily spiritual practice. It's amazing. 

[00:26:04] Dimple Thakrar: Thank you. Wow, so good and so many different ways that you can do it.
