Her goal is to be bringing wisdom and inspiration to all of us , and we are so lucky to have her here on Ignite your Spark . Thank you , hope , for joining me .
Oh , kim , it's such a pleasure to be here and with all your wonderful guests or your watchers , listeners , whoever they may be .
Thank you . Thank you , Hope , and I know that's your real name . I love it . How do you ignite your spark ?
Oh , that's a really good question . I guess I have a variety of things , but the most important thing is to be in a state of gratitude . So when I go into gratitude and I go into meditation , that's when I get sparked . I mean being in nature , that's when I get sparked . Using this thing called the Infinity Wave , I get sparked .
Using that with other people as well as with nature is really exciting . I love to travel . I take groups , places . That really sparks me , especially when I go to the really ancient places with the stones and all of that . I love it . Gosh , I could go on and on and on .
I just like to ask all my people that question because I'm always interested in the answer and I find that many people connect to their spark via nature , which I love , and meditation , and also my spark is ignited by travel . So I get that my spark is ignited by all those ways . So thank you for sharing that , because I just love to hear people's answers .
So thank you , let's get into how you got into the realm of spirituality , as it were , because I just love hearing people's origins stories , because most people did not shoot out of the womb and be a young child channeling or receiving messages . Now many did and suppressed that . I get it . Tell me what led to your current iteration .
Sure , I'll try to say it quickly . I did come into this world very curious about spirituality and started to read the Bible when I was nine , because I couldn't find anything else , and it was not something my family did . I asked my mother to take me to all the different spiritual houses in our town .
I was clearly seeking something and I couldn't quite get my hands on it . And then when I was in high school , I learned how to do transcendental meditation , and then that led me to a whole exploration into Eastern religions and philosophies and all kinds of things .
I sort of dabbled around Then , when I was 21 , I was fortunate to go to the beautiful community in Northern Scotland called Finthorn , and that was a community that worked very much with the natural world . It was all channeled through the wife of the husband and wife team .
They grew plants that should not have been growing in sand , but they grew gigantic plants , gigantic cabbages , there was a bamboo tree and we're talking on the North Sea . This is a magical place and there is a book called the Finthorn Garden .
I highly recommend everybody to read it , because if you want to know how to live with source and in guidance all the time , that's a great way to start , but anyway , I got to go there when I was 21 , and that sort of popped the quirk , so to speak .
After that I learned about healing hands-on healing and I just went down every rabbit hole that I came across .
And the thing is that when you go to someplace like Finthorn and you come back completely altered and having been living in a whole different reality I mean I don't mean just location , I mean spiritual reality you start to try to talk to people who are your friends at home and they look at you like you're , you know .
You learn to kind of be quiet about it . So from that point on it became my own little private Idaho . So I went through . I was an actress for many years , I directed , I was a teacher , I did a lot of things , but I kept my spiritual life on a parallel path , but very quiet .
And then in 2010 , I had a really tough year and there were some very traumatic things that happened . I had already started a meditation group , I played the crystal ball , so I had sound healing going on , a bunch of things , but again very much on the sideline . At the beginning of November I went to a sound healing retreat . I came back very different .
I had cleansed myself from all this detritus that had happened and I was walking across my living room and all of a sudden , I had a vision .
I wasn't used to having visions and there was this giant wave in front of me , giant like hundred feet tall , and it was beautiful , turquoise , gorgeous , and it was moving toward me and there seemed to be a byline to it .
I'm going to encapsulate that by saying as this wave is moving towards you , it represents a push of evolution that is coming to the planet , that will be basically wrapping around the planet and anchoring in at the end of 2011 . If you resist this push of evolution , things won't go so well .
If you learn to swim with it or surf it or whatever , then it'll be better .
And then suddenly the wave turned to its side and now it was that curling wave that you see a surfer go through and it kind of looks like the letter C , and that byline said as the water , the ocean water moves away from the shore and deepens into the earth , into the seabed , to get its energy , to create that cresting .
So should you speaking to me , but speaking to everybody leave all your book learning on the shore , go to the earth , go to the wisdom keepers of the earth for your information and mix that with this incoming push , whatever this push of evolution was .
And then , instead of the water just falling back into the ocean , the water made this figure eight of flowing water , standing wave like this , and it hung out in front of my third eye about 18 inches about this big , and there was no byline , and it didn't go away .
For three days I walked around with this thing sort of faintly in my purview , and I went through my life and finally I was like this is ridiculous . I have to sit down and figure out what it is .
So I got my dowsing rods out and by then I'd been dowsing for 15 years and I really was self-taught , so I had a whole way of talking with my rods , my dowsing rods that are unconventional . I didn't know it yet that it was unconventional because I didn't know any other dowsers , but I just taught myself .
So , anyway , I had this chat and , in a long story short , I was told that this big urate made of flowing water is called the infinity way , for lack of a better term , that it's a 10th dimensional energetic . Well , what does that mean ? It won't get into the dimensions just to imagine . It's very , very purified .
It's so distilled love and compassion that we're not used to On our planet . In 3D we don't usually get access to 10D love and compassion . And that it was made of water for a reason and it was in the shape of the infinity for a reason so we can get into all that in a minute but that I was supposed to share this with the world .
I lived next to a sheep farm in rural Massachusetts . I'm like , okay , I'm gonna do that , and I was supposed to start teaching about it starting January 2011 . I'm like , I don't even know what this is . I don't . I think I'm going crazy now . So , okay , anyway . So that's how it started . And then I wanted to say no and I tried to say no .
But the thing is , on the very last practice of that sound healing workshop I had been to , right before this happened because of a series of revelations that I had in the practices , I was so grateful that in my mind's eye , I went prostrate on the floor and just out of me .
Like these aren't words that I would normally utter , but silently I said I am a willing vessel , do with me what you will . That just popped out of my being . So when I tried to say no , they were like weren't you the one who said you were a willing vessel ? I'm like , dang it Anyway . So then I didn't know what I was supposed to be teaching .
I rented the room , I put out the word I'm gonna be teaching something . I don't know what it is , but come anyway , you know . And I start every week . I sat down with my dear friend and I sat with my rods and I said I don't know what's gonna happen , but I'll just start asking questions . And as soon as I did , everything slowed down .
My voice went really deep . These words started coming out of my mouth . Practices just popped out of my mouth . I did it once a week . So I had three practices by the time we did the weekend workshop . And I did a series of three weekend workshops , which was the entire workshop .
So one in January , one in February , one in March and by the end of March , when I looked back , I saw that there were nine practices and each one was a step by step process to allow a leap of spiritual evolution . And the proof was in the pudding , because the people who went through that and , believe me , I was a doubter .
I was still standing back like , oh yeah , right , and I'm kind of scientifically minded , I love science and I love science coming together with spirituality . So I was sitting back and going okay , everybody feels good after a weekend , but does it last ? Does it have legs ? And what is the evidence that this is actually working ? And we saw person after person .
Things would get resolved in their lives . Their faces started to soften and they were glowing . Their joy quotients went way up . People who were about to leave their husbands didn't leave . People who didn't have jobs got jobs . Like it was just wow , wow , what is this ?
Anyway , I repeated that process two more times that year and then I said , okay , this is the real thing , it's not a new symbol . The infinity wave is not the infinity sign . Of course is ancient , but it's not just the infinity sign . It is a way for us to grasp an energy .
It's a way for us to kind of hold it in our minds to make it a little more concrete .
Can I just ask for a question because there might be listeners who are not familiar with dowsing rods ? Yes , as I mentioned to you , it is one of the spiritual tools for healing or unearthing something within your life that I have not tried .
I have been to many soundbaths , which I just love , and I've tried a lot of things , but tell our listeners exactly what dowsing rods are and how that was able to assist you .
Well , first of all , dowsing is something that's been done since antiquity . There are cave paintings of people with sticks walking around . It's thought to be the oldest technology on the planet and it's a way of becoming sensitive to the environment . But you can also apply it to your life and you can ask questions . So most people know about pendulums .
That's a form of dowsing , and there are many different kinds of pendulums and many different shapes and materials , and they have specific purposes . Dowsing rods the ones I use are L-shaped . They're called L rods . They're shaped like an L . So the short end is what you hold on to and the long end is what moves .
Now she's showing us this , hope is showing us this . So if you wanna see it , go to YouTube . Go to my YouTube channel and you can see exactly what the dowsing rod looks like . Sorry to interrupt .
That's fine . So you can see this yellow and red . This is a plastic sleeve that turns so that the rod can spin freely , so my hand isn't making it go anywhere . How it works is and I'm showing this on the video I'll hold these up a little higher than I normally do , but I can say please show me a yes and the rods move in .
Please show me a no and they move out . Now , what's great is that there are nuances with this . How quickly they move . Do they move all the way in ? Enthusiastically , yes , enthusiastically no . Is it a 25% , 50% , 75% ?
We can go down any rabbit hole with these and if you'd like to ask a question or two , like you can see how it works , and I'm gonna be putting together a workshop on this online at some point . So let I say can , I , may , I , should , I . I'll always start like that and they give me a big yes . So go ahead and ask a question .
Phew , blah , blah , blah , to be in a . Can I , may I , should I Kind of a ?
I ask , can I , may I , should I , before I douse , to make sure that I'm hydrated enough and a good state to do dousing ?
Oh , interesting , okay . I mean , what kind of questions do people usually ask ? I mean , oh , here's one . Will I be speaking internationally in 2024 ?
Okay , so really good example , because I want to point out that we are not fortune tellers , dousers are not futurists . However , what we can do is say is it in your highest physical , mental , emotional and spiritual good to become an international speaker in 2024 ? And the answer is yes , enthusiastically yes .
So now you know that you can take steps in that direction and probably you know likely that there will be some success there .
Interesting , and I wanted to hold up a pendulum so people who are watching can also see the pendulum , because I do I've only self taught as well and my pendulum is going , you know , kind of crazy , and I'm not moving it , it just it moves . And now it's going to move around and I just .
The only reason I'm doing this is so that people can see another spiritual tool , and with the pendulum , though , you only get yes or no answers , and the dowsing rods appear to be a little bit I don't want to say more sophisticated , but able to bring us a little more depth to the answer .
I think they do . I use pendulums for healing and clearing and things like that . I don't usually ask questions of the pendulum unless I have the charts with me or something you know it has to be a specific reason , maybe working with a map or something like that . The other thing that happens is because I've been doing this now for 25 years or more .
You know , when I told you that I sat down and then these voices came through and these practices got , came out . That was the beginning of becoming a channeler , and I didn't trust channeling , so it was really the joke was on me .
Now I channeled meditations every week for free , usually on my website , but it's been a long , long road of revealing myself in that way . So when I dows , it's sort of like clicking the switch and I start to hear things and see things . So we don't have to just be stuck with yes or no .
I start to hear , can pass us into , you know , whatever the issue is , pretty directly . The beauty of it is you can get to the nugget of an issue very quickly , very quickly , and I like to not make any assumptions . I start from the widest place and we work our way into the center and then we get the answers . It's very efficient , very efficient .
So sometimes I work on mundane things like should I buy a car ? Is it in my house ? Is it good to buy a car right now , or should I wait till next year , or whatever it is , to emotional , psycho-emotional , spiritual questions .
I have lots of people who work with me on their spiritual development , clearing family systems and like , because I have a psychology background as well . So you know they are my buddies in any department .
You know that is interesting , so it has become for you a tool to open you up to channeling . Can you channel without using the dowsing rod ? Oh yeah .
Yeah , yeah , I don't use the dowsing rods most of the time . I'm just saying when I'm channeling , I'm just saying that when I do use them , everything opens up .
And is that how you first discovered your channeling abilities ? Was by using the dowsing rod .
Yeah , I mean I sat down and had the rods with me and I was prepared to ask questions and then these deep voices came through . I was like who's talking ?
You guys , you know how important focus is , and all of my guests who have found their spiritual gifts are very focused . They have to be focused , and this is something that I struggle with all the time , and I wanted to tell you about this great little drink I found called Magic Mind .
It's a shot you take in the morning , though no alcohol , only clean ingredients and it has helped me focus so much . I've been taking it for several months and it gives me the boost I need , without all the caffeine . I don't drink coffee , so I don't need that kind of caffeine , but I do drink my tea .
And what I love about this little green drink is it has matcha in it and it's got so many benefits . It's got L-theanine in it and that helps reduce stress , and who doesn't have stress ? I definitely do .
It's got a lot of other really great natural ingredients , like ashwagandha that also helps reduce stress Rodeolo , rosea , lion's mane mushrooms and cordyceps mushrooms , and I will only drink or take something that is made from clean ingredients , ingredients that I feel good putting into my body , and I wanted to share with you that this brings me such focus .
It has really changed my morning routine because I have to sit down and record podcasts . I mean , I have to . I get to sit down and record podcasts and then I need to record and edit them as well .
So it takes a lot of focus and before I started using Magic Mind , I could really only focus for half an hour an hour at the most , and now I can sit down and carve out a chunk of time to actually get a lot done . I stand behind this little drink because it works . It helps me and I know it can help you , and I love sharing it with my friends .
So I would love to encourage you to try it out because it has been a game changer for me . And if you use my code , you can get a discount . It's ignite 20 . And you go to magicmindcom forward slash , ignite your spark .
I will put that at the end of the show notes , but it's like this little shot you take every day and I love it , and I just wanted to share that with you now . Because we talk about focus . I can't focus on my pendulum without making sure that I've got some focus energy inside of me .
I really love hearing these kind of stories , and this is just my own observation because I also I still do some acting and I've always loved the theater and I have found that the majority of actors are very spiritual beings , are more open to messages coming in , just because I think that we as actors are used to embodying other personalities or stepping into a
role that isn't our own , and this is the first time I've ever vocalized this out loud , but I know from different people I've interviewed and just I was in the spiritual closet for many , many years . I too was came out of the womb knowing , just knowing , but put that aside for a long time .
But I have the people I've encountered who are spiritual leaders , teachers , evolutionists have been actors at one point in their life .
Not a surprise that you also were yeah , yeah , no , I mean until I was , you know well , into my 30s , that was what I was doing . I agree with you . To me , spirituality and psychology are so similar . They are the study of the human soul . Right , If you're gonna act apart , you need to understand the soul of your character .
So that inquiry , you know , that is where they meet . So for me they just go together . I don't miss my acting days , but I sure enjoyed them when I had them , but now this is my whole life .
Sewing something that lights you up more than being on a stage and or a virtual stage , whatever the stage may be , and I also find I get great joy at a podcasting , which is utilizing the gifts and skills that I was born with . I just there's more for me as well , even at my advanced age .
But let's go back into the infinity wave , because I think the concept is a little challenging of the 10th dimension and before I studied you and learned about you , I was not familiar with the 10th dimension . I mean , we've been hearing about transitioning into the fifth dimension , but the 10th dimension seems way out . There knew nothing about that .
And you know , whenever I hear stories like yours , where you saw this wave , I'm like , oh , I want to see something . It's just my own ego being jealous , you know which is a human emotion , not a spirit emotion . I get that . But it fascinates me that you were able to actually see and read bylaws .
Did those bylaws come to you in your brain or did you physically kind of see it like on a movie screen ?
They were like a little ticker tape at the bottom , so I didn't see it with my physical eyes . I saw it projected . It was very real , but it wasn't physical . I don't know how to describe it .
I have to tell you , kim , my bookshelf was lined with all those stories about people who've had things like this happen to them , you know , from romphtha to , I mean , like the whole thing , and I had been reading those books for decades and I had really given up on having any kind of experience , because usually it happens to people who are pretty much asleep ,
right , and then all of a sudden they go boing , you know they wake up .
That's why I said that in the beginning , because so many of my guests and the people I've had the opportunity to speak with or read their books , they did not whoosh out of the womb into this . It was an awakening .
Either it was a near death experience or it was a divorce , or it was some other loss and , unlike yours , which was sort of a gentle in a way , unfolding until boom , you were hit with the wave , so to speak , and let's talk over a little bit into the sand .
It's so funny this , because there are no coincidences , there are only coordinated incidents , as one of my guests a couple of years ago said in my meditation or in my journaling this morning , what came to me and it's so funny is that we are all nothing newer , novel pearls , and that we get formed in the oyster shell .
But I had the vision of a wave yes , I had done the studying on YouTube but of the wave going into the oyster shell and smooching around and creating us all differently . And there is no such thing as a perfect pearl . And those people who think they are perfect pearls , well , let me tell you the imperfect ones are more beautiful . Every pearl is beautiful .
Right now , as we're talking , I'm thinking , oh my gosh , that wave , I can see it in my can . Really good visually . I mean , I don't see it like you got that vision , not that , but I can just visualize it when someone going over all of the oyster shells and I don't know why I'm saying this , except that I am and there you go .
I've learned so much about the infinity wave because it's taught me . Okay , let's go back to 10th dimension .
Let's do that , and then we'll talk about the infinity wave . I've spoken way too much on this and I feel like we're nearing the end , but I really want people to know about the 10th dimension and what you want them to know , or what Universe wants us to know about the infinity wave in the 10th dimension or reaching the 10th dimension . Okay , go .
The 10th dimension is really , in a sense , irrelevant . There are people who say there are 12 dimensions . There are people who say there are a thousand dimensions . I'm not a dimensional expert . Okay , all I know is that it is a rarefied place . Where it's not emotional , it's too pristine for emotion .
So when we talk about love and compassion without emotion , it seems strange , right , but it's like the driest , most fine air . If you're in that rarefied air , your whole being is affected by it . When you bathe in this infinity wave , this figure eight of flowing water , you're actually gifting yourself .
First and foremost , your heart rate goes down , you feel peaceful , it works immediately . In the beginning we had to work at it , but now there's a morphic field of the infinity wave . I've been teaching it now for 12 , 13 years and lots of people have learned it . By the way , I just have to say I looked in 2011, . I looked everywhere .
I looked in bookstores , I looked in woo-woo shops , I looked everywhere Logos , no infinity signs anywhere , because I thought if I'm getting it , it must be coming in to the collective . But they said it's coming in , kind of anchoring , at the end of 2011 . January 2012, .
Somebody hands me a cappuccino with the figure eight in the foam , and from then on it has been everywhere , including now a distorted version of the infor meta . Everybody has it in their logo . They don't know why it's the number one women's tattoo , but that wasn't the case beforehand . So they told me it was coming in .
They told me we'd have a year to work with it before it anchored in , and they were absolutely right . It's best to think of it as a living energy , and if you invite it in to dance in your life , it will start to take you into flow . We are being bombarded , as you well know , as all your listeners well know .
We are being bombarded with issue after issue after issue after issue . Something's blowing up , something's on fire , something's . You know , it's just , it's a never ending assault . We aren't going to do well if we're resisting all of this change . Basically , the world is changing . Things are disintegrating , other things are growing and becoming new .
If we stay flexible and in flow , resilient and in love and compassion , we are going to be able to navigate this choppy water more easily . And not only that and this is the exciting part we're actually going to evolve through it . That's the whole point .
I want to talk about in your book . Do you give ways that we can be a part of the infinity wave ? And I don't even know if I'm saying it properly , Like you are .
I'm just going to show a picture so you see the wave . That's okay , okay . So this is the book . So can you see the figure eight of flowing water here ?
Beautiful , isn't that pretty ? And it's the infinity wave mastering the art of love , compassion and flow . I cannot wait to read this . It's a handbook .
Okay , it's a guidebook . I tell a little bit you know , more nuanced story of how it all happened . Then I talk a little bit about just really paragraphs on big topics like what is source ? What I did was I just put in .
I wanted to put in a couple of things about sound , about water , you know , just a couple of little nuggets , so people knew where I'm coming from , so we can be on the same page . Then I talk about ways to use it , ways to use it with nature , ways to use it within yourself , ways to use it between people .
And then at the back of the book I have all the first nine practices laid out and there's a QR code so you can click in and you can download the practices so that everybody can have the audios that I created to go along with the book . That's really all it is . It's just a simple little handbook .
Well , yes , simple , before we wrap up , I really want to know is there something you can leave us with a taste of an exercise or something ? Because I still don't know . I know what you saw , I know the infinity wave , but I need a little more . Can we give us something ?
Sure , how many minutes can I have to do that ?
Five minutes .
Okay , well , let's just do this . Let's everybody close our eyes and take a deep breath or two and just settle down , let your body feel heavy .
Now take your consciousness and put it in your heart center , right in the middle of your body , there , and just imagine that you've got a little figure eight made of flowing water , a little infinity wave floating in your heart center , right in your body .
And if you need to imagine it , you can use your finger to just sort of trace a figure eight on your heart center , just to kind of get it going . The imagination is very important here , because that's how we open the door to the infinity wave .
Now , as you are tracing your finger or just imagining a figure eight flowing water in your heart , you may notice there's just a little sensation , a little fluttering , a little softening , and just observe the wave , just see . You know what is it , what color is it , how is it turned , where is it directing ?
Is it left to right , is it up and down , how's the pace of flow of the water ? Just observe it . And all the while you're bathing your heart in this pristine love and compassion . So let's just take a moment and , as we breathe in , receive that compassion .
And you can , as you're breathing in , just imagine that the wave gets a little bit bigger , stretches out , side to side , like from one ribcage to the other , just slowly , little , tiny , incremental stretches , with your breath Breathing in and allowing more compassion into your heart .
We don't usually do well at receiving such things , but this is an infinite compassion for you , for all you've been through , for all you're going through , boundless , endless compassion for you . And as you continue to breathe and stretch that wave just a little bit more , widening your heart just a little bit more .
Now let's just understand that this infinite love is also flowing through your heart , love for you and for your courage to come into this world at this time , love for the way you love , love for all your parts , parts and all , every single aspect of you , the beautiful essence that you are .
And with a couple more breaths to stretch that infinity wave just a little more across your chest , widening the heart , and it might feel a little tight in your heart . And if that's the case , just turn the watery flow up , just let it be like a rushing spring river , and the wave does the work . You don't have to manufacture this love and compassion .
It's built in , built into the water , let the water do the softening , let the water give the gifts of love and compassion and then , when you're ready , you can open your eyes and you can keep that wave at that size , or let it shrink down a little bit more and you can let it continue to flow in there . You've turned it on , it's running .
You can leave it there forever if you like .
Oh , my goodness , I really saw it . It was blue and gold and oh , it's so beautiful and that will give everybody a taste of how you work with them as well . And your voice was so beautiful , I loved it . Oh my gosh , thank you , hope . What a gift .
Thank you . Oh , I'm so grateful to share it . And , by the way , if you ever want to wave your guests or wave your listeners before you start , because usually what happens is you're sending out something that's at a high vibration , so it's going to lift everything up . It's going to lift a conversation up , it's going to lift the whole thing .
Well , it's interesting because I do that with my heart spark to yours with a golden filament of thread , and I love adding in the element of the infinity wave . So thank you for that Well Hope . I am just blessed beyond belief to have you share your wisdom , your words , your channeling , your dousing everything with myself and my listeners .
So thank you so much Thank you , Kim .
