As we welcome christy sandino to healers Healing. It is such a pleasure to have Christy Sandino with me today. Did I spell? Did I say your last name correctly?
Nina Ganguli:No, it's actually Sandino Sandino. See, I put some extra emphasis in different places, so that's really common.
Kristi Sandino:Yeah, I, it was originally a Norwegian name that had lots of O's and A's in it, and so this is the Americanized version. Ah, yes, I can understand that.
Nina Ganguli:So, christy Sandeno, thank you so much for taking the time to be with us today, and I'm going to ask you the question I ask all of our guests, which is what is your definition of healing?
Kristi Sandino:Okay, my definition of healing I like to start with a breath Part of my practice.
Kristi Sandino:A breath part of my practice and I think that that is part of my answer is that when we're I want to do air quotes because it's it can be a heavy word and and I have I went on a big healing journey myself myself and came to the other side feeling like I created a lot more stress in that process than there needed to be, and so I would love to define healing as being connected with self.
Kristi Sandino:Being connected with self, being connected to how my body feels in each moment, as much as possible so that I'm in the present and interacting with myself first, before I'm interacting with the world outside of me. So in my definition of healing would be connected to self, connected to that own infinite wisdom that resides within me, regardless of how I might be feeling. In that definition of like good or bad in that moment, the way we like to say, oh, now I feel good, so everything's okay, now I feel bad, so something must be wrong Healing is more just that state of moment to moment connection with my own internal wisdom. And what do I need most in this moment?
Nina Ganguli:Powerful. That's really powerful, Connecting to self and what you need, and I love that. You said that you know it's not about right or wrong, or even good or bad, it's just the interpretation of where we're at in any given moment. And it's interesting. You also said you know, while going through it, you felt like you caused a little more stress than necessary, and then now you're on this other side and I can relate to that because I think something about. We have to be a certain. We have to I'm also doing air quotes for those who are listening in we have to, or should be, a certain way as we go through this process. And the interesting thing is what I noticed is you know, even though you and I could sit in the same room and receive the same information, the way we process it, the way it's going to land for each one of us, is going to be different. So you know, I think that's where the shoulds are like. Well, how come this person got this?
Nina Ganguli:out of it. Or you know, I'm seeing this person going through a journey and you know this is where they are. And in our journeys we're still making ourselves wrong and it does get stressful. It's like meditating right, like you're supposed to meditate and be quiet, and all your mind is doing is chattering to you Like shh be quiet, shh Don't talk, shh Stop.
Kristi Sandino:Yes, and I love what you just said. I think that there's just an epidemic of making ourselves wrong and dissonance in the body and takes us out and away from our intuition and our inner knowing. I think for a long time I felt that intuition was a special skill. You know, like something, you know like, oh you know. When I used to hear, you know 30 years ago, someone say that they were intuitive Ooh, wow. And now that you know I've spent time connecting with myself and really developing my own intuition, I realized that we're all intuitive.
Kristi Sandino:It's part of the package that we come with, the package that we come with, just like you know, being able to see or hear or taste, to whatever degree each of us are able to do that. Not everybody comes with all our senses, but I'm fully on board. But I do believe that intuition is one that we all have across the board and if it was taught at home and taught in school, we would all grow up connected to divine source, to our inner knowing, to our greatest good, and we could avoid this constant self-doubt and second guessing and wondering am I doing it right? Is this, is this, should I do this, or should I do this? Should I do this food? Or, you know, should I be vegan, should I be keto? Should I be? You know, all like in that conversation can be in any realm, but that's just an example. But we're we live in a time where there's no shortage of information on any topic, which is such a blessing, but if we're not connected to our inner knowing, it can be so confusing.
Nina Ganguli:It's interesting that you say that and you did use, like keto or you know, paleo or whatever. Right, there is no one size fits all in anything in like you know, you get a top that says one size fits all.
Nina Ganguli:No, not true, and I've seen that in even my own not just my own healing journey. You know, spiritually and intuitively and all of that, but you know, even like when we're looking at nutritionally, it's not one and done and it's not a done. There's never a done. We're always continuously growing and dealing with those things that have had us question who we are. Are we worthy, are we enough? Is am I? Am I doing it right? I think that's a question that runs in everybody's mind is am I doing it right? But it is. What is it that we need to to do right? And and part of, I guess, the healing process is getting to a place of understanding that there is no right or wrong, it's just just an is.
Kristi Sandino:Yeah, it's our own path, mm-hmm, we get to do our own path and and the only way to really, you know, feel, you know that it's again air quote right, because there is no right is by moving connected to our own heart and our own light. So if we are looking at someone outside of us, which is, you know, of course we all fall into comparison. It's completely normal. And I would never say, you know, oh, stop comparing yourself to other people, because you know we want to minimize that, but it's just impossible in the world and think, oh, they're doing better than I am, or maybe my life should look like that.
Kristi Sandino:Or, you know, I just even think of like the magazines I see in the checkout line of the grocery store, of like you know, top 10 healthy summer recipes, and you know it's like, well, I don't have any. You know I don't have like a top five summer recipes and you know just like, well, I don't have any. You don't even have like a top five summer recipes. You know, I don't know, should I have top 10 recipes for every season?
Nina Ganguli:oh my gosh, it's so true. I mean just small little things like that. It's this, this, the world that we live in, that we we've, that has been created. We create some of it. Some of it's been created for us, you know, in our upbringing, and I think there's one question that keeps coming up, as I'm as I'm talking to, is how do we become more connected to self, like what is? What do you think that is?
Kristi Sandino:is Well, I think it's through our practices. So for me, I started with energy healing. I meditate, and one of the most important practices I use both in my life and in my practice and what I offer clients, is breath work. So breath work has been life changing for me and and it you can do tiny little like bits of breath work and feel a shift in your state of being all the way to in something like holotropic breath work. They have sessions that go, you know, seven, eight hours, but you don't need to do a seven or eight hour breath work in order to have monumental shifts in your state of being and your connection to yourself and your intuition. So for me, as I started practicing breath work, I became much more attuned to my own nervous system and the state of my body and I feel like our bodies are just incredible sources of wisdom for us and connection to our intuition.
Kristi Sandino:Many of us think of connection to our intuition as happening through our third eye or something that kind of happens up around the top of our heads, but really our body is this incredible crystalline antenna to the world and it is always giving us feedback and so generally, culturally, we're taught to live from the neck up in.
Kristi Sandino:Especially in western culture, there's so much emphasis on the mind and intelligence and, uh, what do you think about that? You know, tell me what you think, but not people don't ask as often what do you feel about that? So, in coming into this relationship with my breath, I came into a much deeper relationship with my body and started being able to listen to the messages and wisdom of my body. When my body will always tellness and then, conversely, when my body is feeling good, expansive, warm, soft, you just start to. Just by tuning through the breath into the body and feeling what's happening, I can start to understand what type of breath my body needs. So, whether it's needing something more activating to give me a little bit more energy, to wake me up a little bit, or if I feel maybe my heart starting to flutter or my chest to contract, to say can we pause for a minute? I need to take a breath.
Nina Ganguli:Really take a, take a breath. It's just. It's interesting Cause I've done I myself have done some experience on breath work and it was profound for sure, and not every like, you know, not every every session is the same, you know, sometimes it's crazy profound release of emotions, sometimes it's just so calming, you know, really kind of depends. I think what you, what you said before about, about you know, it doesn't have to be six or seven or eight hours, can be something really small. You know what. What can we do, we as a, I want to say as a collective, because we're in a highly stressful world and it's right now, at the time of this recording. We're're super. The world is just on edge. There's so much going on, even for those who may not feel like they need anything healing or anything extra, just kind of interested in some personal growth. What would you suggest we could do and incorporate into our daily practice to make a difference in the state of our being?
Kristi Sandino:Yeah, that's a great question. Something I love is I mean, I always love things that are simple. First of all, we have enough complicated. We have. We have enough complicated.
Kristi Sandino:So if, if you're listening to this at the very even, you know whether you're listening to this and you've never done any breath work before and you not really you know, knowing maybe even what we fully mean by that um, or you've been doing breath work for the last 30 years, this is something that is great for everybody.
Kristi Sandino:If you extend the exhale longer than the inhale, it's always going to be calming for your nervous system. So what I like to do is just make it very easy Inhale to a count of four, exhale to a count of eight, and when you inhale, it's through the nose, and then exhale like you're blowing out through a straw. So I'll demonstrate it once, just so it's super clear, and then maybe we'll, after I demonstrate it once, we'll just do three together so that, if you want to follow along, you can, and this is something you can do with your eyes open. You can do this while you're driving. You can do this. This is not some kind of you know, so deeply relaxing thing that it's going to take you out of your conscious awareness. It's just calming the system. So um, it looks like this I'm gonna have to say something.
Nina Ganguli:What the listeners, the those that are listening, you know, those that see us. They can see it, but maybe do you want me to count when we do it together.
Kristi Sandino:I'm going to count out loud, I just wanted to do for those who are watching just to be able to see, because sometimes someone describes something to me like say something like blowing out through a straw, and depending on the person I mean I I could go into questioning around that I could be like wait, what, like? What kind of straw? What is it?
Nina Ganguli:a big straw is a little straw, you know it's like okay, so is the straw long, is it short? Is it metal, is it glass? Okay, I get it.
Kristi Sandino:I just I personally am extremely visual, so, um, I like to see things, but of course I know a lot of people are listening. So the next three breaths I'm going to count while we breathe together. So in through the nose, inhale two, three, four. And out through the mouth, two, three and out through the mouth Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Inhale two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Inhale two, three, four.
Nina Ganguli:Exhale two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Yeah, I'm calm now, which is great, and I will share with the listeners what was going through my mind, exactly what you said. What kind of straw? Oops, I'm not, my mouth is not and I'm like, oh, I'm having a straw, I'm breathing in a straw, but you know, it did make a difference, and what I did find myself doing was like, okay, I'm having a straw, I'm breathing in a straw, but you know it did make a difference. And what I did find myself doing was like, okay, well, let me take enough breath in so that when I breathe out on eight, I have enough air to last.
Kristi Sandino:So that's perfect because that inhale is more intense. To get the full inhale in the halftime, you are putting more passion on the inhale and then you're slowing the exhale because if you want it to last for eight counts, you've got to take it a little bit easier, right? You can't push it all out. And then you're like, oh, I'm so. You know, play with it, don't be hard on yourself. And if it feels better to you to do three, six or one, two or five, 10, however that count feels for you half, you know the length in and more extended out. If you're not making it all the way, you know you're running out of breath on the exhale. That's okay too. Just extending the exhale.
Kristi Sandino:Now, what I recommend to do with this breath is set the timer on your phone for an hour and when the timer goes off, do this breath three or five times and then just press the little you know, restart on your timer again so that roughly once an hour the timer goes off and you get to do this breath all throughout the day, taking these little moments out of your day to connect in with yourself. How am I feeling right now? How is my body? You know we we get so lost in our heads. You know, I used to have the sensation of really not even knowing what was happening in my body and when I would start to, in the very beginning of my breath, practice calm myself through breath, after a few minutes of a calming breath, such as the one we just did, all of a sudden I would start to notice, oh, I'm really cold or I'm really hot, or like I hadn't even really been aware of the sensations that were happening in me or around me.
Nina Ganguli:it was so disconnected so my next question is because, like we got so like quickly right into demonstration, I forgot to even even ask what is breathwork? How does it work? Like, what is it doing to help us calm down?
Kristi Sandino:Yeah. So I mean, I think it's great that we started with a demonstration, because a lot of breathwork is very experiential, like so many healing practices. We can talk all about them, or we can talk all about meditation, but until you actually participate in the practice, you don't feel for yourself what it is. But it's important to talk about it, so we will. But it's important to talk about it, so we will. So breath work um, you know, is a huge umbrella word for consciously controlling the way we breathe to impact our physical body, our emotional body, our mental body and our spiritual connection. That's, I guess, off the top of my head, the best. But breath work, I think, was mentioned about about 7,000 years ago in yogic text, so it's definitely not a new practice.
Kristi Sandino:It's been around for thousands of years and more recently, in the last probably 20 years, maybe even more like 10, years, maybe even more like 10 there has been a lot more interest in studying breath work and its benefits and it's been found to lower blood pressure and improve symptoms of adhd, to help people who are experiencing autoimmune issues. It can be used for focus and concentration, for relaxation, for energy. So there's an incredible amount of benefits to implementing breathwork in your life, implementing breathwork in your life, and I mean one of my favorite uses, even though I've talked so much about the body, one of my favorite uses for breathwork is that connection to source. Connection to source because as we do breath work, we can alter our brainwave states and go into altered states of consciousness and we can access these beautiful, expansive states of awareness where we receive all kinds of intuitive guidance, divine guidance, messages from our ancestors, deep downloads of creativity and inspiration. So the benefits are myriad.
Kristi Sandino:The practice is really these different patterns of breath and the key is using them very consciously. So the breath is one of the only it might be the only part of the nervous system that both works unconsciously, automatically or that we can alter it with our conscious mind. So, like our heart rate. Well, I think there's probably studies now that show we can work with the heart and alter the heart rate through breath work, but in the past it was believed that, you know, our heart does what the heart does and we, we don't have any conscious impact on our heart beating.
Nina Ganguli:I know divers are able to do the free drivers. They actually alter their. They slow down their heart rates so that they can dive longer down.
Kristi Sandino:Actually alter their they slow down their heart rates so that they can dive longer down and and yeah so free free. Divers use breath work. Um, people in the military use breath work. Olympic athletes use breath work as well. As you know, just people like me, just your normal everyday person who's not, you know, trying to win a gold medal on the world stage, but would just like to live in a way where I feel expanded states of joy and gratitude and freedom.
Nina Ganguli:I love that Expanded states of joy, gratitude and freedom. Join the Miracles Directory, where healers connect and wellness begins. Join a community of trusted holistic professionals, or find your path to healing and peace. Visit themiraclesdirectorycom. Start your journey today.
Nina Ganguli:So it's so. It's so funny about those crazy thoughts. You're right, christy. Like you start paying attention to more like oh wow, I, I do this all the time. Like I realized I create drama in my brain all the time from a little tiny little thought I'll go back to something that happened in the past. Oh my gosh. And then this is going to happen. And then I have to interrupt myself to be like this is not happening. Now, nina, this is like. Now you're making a whole new scenario. Like maybe I should have said this or I should have done this. And I'm catching myself a lot more and realizing how much angst I cause myself on a daily basis Cause I'm creating all these extra dramas. I'm a drama queen. I should be. I should write more. I think with the dramas I create, maybe they can become some Netflix mini series, who knows?
Kristi Sandino:I think we all probably have a Netflix mini series going on in our minds on and off, Probably probably. With conversations that we create with people that actually usually don't even manifest no, and I'm, you know, I've done some.
Nina Ganguli:I've been in crazy moods because I've created this, this whole thing in my head. And then the person I see in the next 10 minutes is like why are you so? And like I didn't. I just didn't do anything.
Nina Ganguli:I just walked in the room like yeah, but I had a whole scenario with you in my head before you got here you know I never really knew, and I think part of you know we were talking about the consciousness and and opening up and understanding what that actually means is what I've learned anyways over the, you know, past few years, and specifically in this last little while, like it's amped up, is what is actually really going on in here. I've read a lot of books, I've done a lot of work and finally I think it's I'm in the place where I can say to myself stop that, nina, like stop that that's not working for you. Remember, when we're talking about like good, bad, and you know right, wrong, but it really truly, for me it's been relanguaging it, so it becomes well, is this way you're thinking, or what you're doing and the way you're being? Is it working for you? Is it getting you the result that you want?
Kristi Sandino:Right, that's such a good question. Yeah, is this helping? And a lot of times what we're doing is re-traumatizing ourselves over and over again in in an effort to get ahead of all these fears we have inside of us. And so the the work, whatever practice you choose to go to, I think is is whatever gets you back underneath those fears, so that you can really find out what's underneath all of this. What am I actually afraid is going to happen, and and can I heal the places of those original pains, original wounds?
Nina Ganguli:I just it's. That's such a powerful thought healing the, the origin, the root cause, I think it's so it's so important to do, to be willing to be open, to do that deep work. And it's not comfortable, like I've done a breathwork session where it's been totally cool and I'm like this is so cool and I'm aware of this and I'm aware of that. And then I've done one where it's just holy crap, I wasn't expecting this to happen which was like the release of emotions, the actual physical feelings, I guess, that come out. You know the shaking and the tension and stuff you don't even realize because you know you're going through this process. And I think for those, for people who are listening or watching, to understand healing, like you said at the beginning, there's it's. It's an interesting word, but it's, it's a very powerful word and it's so, it's. It seems to be like the, the, the word of the days you know recently, in recent times, about going through your healing journey, and but it's, it's, it's a thing, it's, it's not it's.
Nina Ganguli:I think it's simple right If you go and you do the things you're supposed to do, but it's not easy. It's not easy to open up yourself in that space and what I loved about doing breath work and being a being a of the the journey was I did in a group. For me, specifically, I did it in a group. I know people can do them like individually and in groups. I did it in group session and the most powerful thing for me that I walked away with aside from all the awarenesses and the things that came up for me that I thought I had healed quote unquote air quotes again was the unique I don't know how to say this frequency maybe of when everybody is breathing in and out at the same time.
Nina Ganguli:And that, just yeah, it's so powerful to be in in a space with others and have that. And even if it's one-on-one, you know, when you're practicing with you're doing the practice with another. I mean, you're you're also working with another person. You, you feel this thing.
Kristi Sandino:I don't know what to else to call it, but you feel like a resonance that starts to happen, where everybody's moving into this similar frequency and space and there is a sense of we're all breathing together and and a sense of like a rhythm are energetic beings and and mostly water, and we, our bodies, behave like tuning forks that when one person in the room releases something they no longer need or experiences a big healing, a big gift of beautiful energy and a more balance coming into their system, that that resonates through the whole room and everyone receives it wow, that's, I didn't even think about that.
Nina Ganguli:That's, I loved what you said. Like we're tuning forks because we're. I learned something new today that we're like we're tuning forks because we're. I learned something new today that we're like these tuning forks and because we're water. Yeah, that that makes so much sense the ripple effect of it going across the room, or and just so that people understand, you don't have to be physically in the same space. I've also done breath work online with a group of people as well, and had a profound experience in that space too. So cause I know you offer it in different ways, in different modalities, are you offering it both online and in person? Like, how do you actually offer your breathwork sessions?
Kristi Sandino:So I offer them mostly online at this point, and online I do both group work and my one-on-one work, and occasionally I do them in person.
Kristi Sandino:I did lead a retreat this last summer and so got to be with a large group of people all breathing together and it was just so beautiful and and so I'm I'm hoping to do more, uh, singular breathwork journeys in person again. Uh, and just like you said, no matter where we are in the world, when we breathe together, even if it's online, there is profound healing and shifts taking place, and sometimes being in the safety of your own home and knowing that you don't afterwards have to jump up and drive somewhere really allows you to go very deep in a way that you might not if you, in the back of your mind, are thinking like, okay, you know my parking runs out in an hour and you know I want to beat traffic and I need to go to the grocery store, and if you're home, you get to let go of all those things, and I think that I've noticed a big gift in that for people.
Nina Ganguli:I never thought about it that way. But yeah, I get that Because I think there's also for those of us out there who are self-conscious about what happens when you're experiencing the breath work it is. It can be so many different things. It can be very deep and profound, it can be joyous.
Nina Ganguli:There's so many different things that happen and I know that I have in a situation, been in person, and also been like Ooh, wow, I don't want to make the like. You know you want to like let go and physically say something or do something and you see others doing it and I was like I don't want to do that. But I think that if I was in my own space in that moment, uh, I would have been more open because I could put myself on mute. I can't do the work, or you know. However, it is that you, you want to go about doing the work. So I think it's great that you brought that up, where you know, wherever anybody feels comfortable to, to, to do the work, and it's so profound. And I did want to ask you another question before.
Nina Ganguli:We kind of off our time together because you're also a reiki healer, and as am I, but how do you, or do you incorporate reiki healing as you're doing the breath work? Like what does that look like? Or there's no other, or like what does it actually? What's it look like when you're in that situation?
Kristi Sandino:You know it depends. I know that you practice Reiki as well and once you've done it for a while I know this happens to a you needs Reiki or you know a pet we learn Reiki. We also learn distance, distance healing for Reiki. So, again, you don't have to be in person. So, whether I'm in person or online, if I feel the energy turn on, I just use that as a signal from divine source to send Reiki energy into the space or to the person that I'm working with. And again, that can happen over any distance time space. We can send Reiki without going too far off, into a tangent, into the past, into the future, into other lifetimes. So it's really once you understand the nature of energy and that we're shifting timelines all the time and that linear time as we know it only exists as a construct in the 3d and that really we aren't limited in any way that is.
Nina Ganguli:It's funny you're saying that and all I'm thinking about is the last loki show that's watched. That's really if you watch any of the marvel stuff. Yeah, I'm going to geek out for a minute and watch loki. That's exactly what he's he's in right now. He's in this place where he's. They're shifting through timelines and meeting different versions of himself. But I this is a big concept is shifting time and the construct of linear time and the concept of 3d and 5d, and, boy, we could have a whole new other whole shows upon shows.
Nina Ganguli:But my request is for those of you who are a little like okay, this is a little like, I'm not understanding. I wouldn't really invite you to do some searching and googling and talking to the people, because if you're listening to this podcast, you're more than likely interested in what we're talking about, and if it's a concept that's come up for you for the first time, I would say look into it. The reason I'm saying this me is because I was such a non-believer. Woo, woo, this is no, no way until. Oh, my gosh.
Nina Ganguli:So I started my healing journey in 2007, but didn't really understand this part of, like this part of the healing till very, very recently, to be honest with you, maybe the last six or seven years, and the one thing I will say is that, in understanding how energy works and the shift between linear time and quantum physics and all of that, for me, gave me personal freedom. It's like, oh, I'm not tied to anything. And you said something about sending Reiki healing to the past and into your past lives, and I believe and I'm assuming you believe, since we talk about past lives that we keep coming back and we choose to take on these lessons and sometimes I ask myself and I don't have an answer it's like what didn't you learn last time? Why are we doing this again? Take the time to just inquire, because it is, it is freedom. I don't know if you felt the same way when you began to discover all of like this part of life.
Kristi Sandino:I felt like things that I formerly felt would be so difficult to change all of a sudden felt much more mutable and changeable. So it felt like like a health condition that I thought how will I ever shift this? When I started understanding a little bit more of how people work in the quantum, it all of a sudden felt like I could just see the path. Oh okay, I'm an energetic being. Anything can shift. I'm not bound by genetics or DNA, like we've been told so much that, that there are things that we just can't change and as people are researching these ideas more and more, that will continue to change as well, that it will. As more people see what's possible, I feel like we live in an ever expanding universe. I mean, the universe is literally expanding all the time. So what kind of shifts does that create in what's possible for us as we move forward?
Nina Ganguli:It's. You're right, there's endless possibilities, and when we can begin to take that on like it's endless possibilities, it's going to. Can you imagine if we looked at the moment in time that you and I are having this conversation, and what is happening out there in the world, which I'm not going to get into, but it's not? We don't need to be so rooted in our I'm going to say opinions, our, our ways of thinking and being. And if we could expand on that and say, well, it doesn't have to be this way. We can change it through our thoughts. We can. We can literally go in and change the course of history by changing the way we think, and we are so powerful and limitless that we can change the narrative of the past, present and future.
Kristi Sandino:Yes, and if that feels very out of reach to you as you're listening to this, a short example I would give is that someone could cut me off in traffic, and there are some days where it infuriates me.
Kristi Sandino:And there's some days where I just gently hit the brakes, move out of the way and think, okay, yeah, you go first, it's fine. I don't want to like if you are in that much of a rush, I send you blessings, I hope everything's okay. And the example there is that both times nothing different happened. The only thing that was different was my perspective that I was coming from. So sometimes we're shifting reality just by shifting our inner state and how we perceive the world and and that's like a nice graspable place to start where, when so many big things can be happening in your life or in the world that it feels like, yeah, but you guys don't understand what's happening with me.
Kristi Sandino:And I understand that I have so much compassion for being in that place and and I just want to start by saying it's all baby steps. So we just look at what is possible inside of us to shift first, when we approach our lives with more peace and more ease, and look at what we're bringing to the table from our own point of view and perception.
Nina Ganguli:Beautifully said. I don't think I want to say any more than that because it's so poignant. You demonstrated that with that example so beautifully, and so I just want to say thank you. Thank you so much for this conversation we. I feel I could talk for hours and hours and hours. I know I've enjoyed this time with you so immensely. And if you have enjoyed this time with you so immensely, and if you have enjoyed this time with Christy, please do connect with her. You can find her on the miracles directory, of course, and where else can we find you?
Kristi Sandino:I am on Instagram at I am breathing light with no spaces, and I also have a podcast, and you can reach me on Instagram through the podcast at luminous human school, and there's no spaces in that either. So that's probably the two easiest ways, and thank you so much for having me.
Nina Ganguli:This is such a pleasure I can feel energy through See, you can feel it. I can feel it through my computer screen, okay, take care.
