Speaker: 00:00:10

Welcome to the We Are Already Free podcast here to support and help free DownToEarth

Speaker: 00:00:19

in embodying their truth and being the change.

Speaker: 00:00:22

It's for anyone who's kind of done with

Speaker: 00:00:24

that old paradigm of focusing on all the things that are wrong and all the things

Speaker: 00:00:27

that we can't change, giving all our energy and time to that and anyone who's

Speaker: 00:00:31

ready to really embody the change and to live their truth.

Speaker: 00:00:35

This is for you.

Speaker: 00:00:36

This is the 10th episode of this podcast and I recently learnt that most podcasts,

Speaker: 00:00:42

something like 90 plus percent fail before their 10th episode.

Speaker: 00:00:47

So I feel like this is a really beautiful milestone and I'm just going to jump right

Speaker: 00:00:52

into it because this is a different kind of episode, it's very vulnerable.

Speaker: 00:00:57

I feel quite nervous about sharing this

Speaker: 00:00:59

and I also feel like it's absolutely appropriate and it's how I've always

Speaker: 00:01:04

attempted to show up in the best way possible.

Speaker: 00:01:06

So what this is about is basically helping me to help you.

Speaker: 00:01:11

So We Are Already Free is this podcast that is in service to this great change.

Speaker: 00:01:16

We are all navigating.

Speaker: 00:01:17

I am Nathan Maingard, as you'll know if

Speaker: 00:01:20

you've listened to previous episodes and I just want to share really candidly and

Speaker: 00:01:25

really openly where I'm at in this moment and how I'd like to ask for your support

Speaker: 00:01:30

and really your support in supporting yourself, which is how this all works.

Speaker: 00:01:35

We are all just the mirror that is reflecting itself.

Speaker: 00:01:37

And so I hope that this all connects in

Speaker: 00:01:39

the way that my intention is aligned with just one of abundance and one of joy and

Speaker: 00:01:43

gratitude that I even get to have this conversation with you.

Speaker: 00:01:46

So basically, on a very practical level, this podcast takes around 10 hours of real

Speaker: 00:01:53

loving, deep labor per episode and it doesn't pay anything at this point.

Speaker: 00:01:59

And I know that with podcasting that eventually I could look at affiliate

Speaker: 00:02:02

marketing and sponsorships and all these other wonderful ways.

Speaker: 00:02:06

And so the reason I'm speaking with you today is because I have dedicated the last

Speaker: 00:02:11

year plus to really skilling myself up to getting the skills of breathwork.

Speaker: 00:02:16

Facilitator. Personal pro coach.

Speaker: 00:02:18

Learning all these new skills.

Speaker: 00:02:20

Really wanting to be in service to We Are Already Free.

Speaker: 00:02:22

To the remembrance. To this mantra.

Speaker: 00:02:24

To this prayer and this actualization.

Speaker: 00:02:26

And to any of you who are on this path.

Speaker: 00:02:28

And I'm having the great joy of working with one to one clients.

Speaker: 00:02:33

I'm just loving it.

Speaker: 00:02:34

It's an amazing experience and at the same

Speaker: 00:02:36

time I'm experiencing this old story in my life of scarcity of finances.

Speaker: 00:02:42

So I'm looking at ways now that I can help you to help me while helping yourself.

Speaker: 00:02:48

And so really this podcast episode is just an ask.

Speaker: 00:02:51

As beautiful Amanda Palmer says, the art of asking.

Speaker: 00:02:54

It's the same feeling that I had when I was a busker in London playing under

Speaker: 00:02:58

bridges and on the side of roads in Camden Town next to the Riverside.

Speaker: 00:03:03

Playing music with my guitar case out and

Speaker: 00:03:05

just trusting that if I provided something that was beautiful.

Speaker: 00:03:09

Something that I cared about.

Speaker: 00:03:10

Something I had passion for.

Speaker: 00:03:12

That other people would hear that and feel that.

Speaker: 00:03:14

And it would connect with some beautiful part of them and they would pay me for it.

Speaker: 00:03:17

And that's what happened.

Speaker: 00:03:18

And that's what I would like to invite for this podcast episode.

Speaker: 00:03:22

So basically what I've done is that if you go to my page at Alreadyfree Me

Speaker: 00:03:28

Connect, you will find ways to support me while supporting yourself.

Speaker: 00:03:33

And what that means, practically, is that I'm doing a live online breath work

Speaker: 00:03:37

session and I'll be doing those occasionally or consistently.

Speaker: 00:03:41

So that's breath work that can help to calm your nervous system to connect into

Speaker: 00:03:46

the present moment, healing, feeling, growing.

Speaker: 00:03:49

I think breath work is probably one of the best things I found for really connecting

Speaker: 00:03:53

to the present and connecting to my sovereignty in this moment.

Speaker: 00:03:57

And that will also include some Healing Heart songs and stories because I'm sure

Speaker: 00:04:02

you know that humans are really story oriented in how we meet life.

Speaker: 00:04:05

So if we tell better stories and listen to better stories, stories that empower us,

Speaker: 00:04:09

our whole life changes, the whole experience of the world changes.

Speaker: 00:04:13

So I'm offering that as well as my five day morning practice challenge.

Speaker: 00:04:18

If you don't have a consistent morning routine, it is an unbelievably powerful

Speaker: 00:04:24

and unbelievably powerful way to transform your life.

Speaker: 00:04:30

There's a beautiful saying how we spend

Speaker: 00:04:32

our days is of course, how we spend our lives.

Speaker: 00:04:35

And I've discovered that how I spend my morning is generally how I spend my day.

Speaker: 00:04:40

So this is a really basic it's like a mini course that will help you to set up or

Speaker: 00:04:44

restart a very simple, very basic morning practice that will then set you up for the

Speaker: 00:04:49

rest of the day and so the rest of your life.

Speaker: 00:04:52

That's also available at that link.

Speaker: 00:04:53

And you can also, if you so desire, become one of the ongoing members.

Speaker: 00:04:58

So basically, with the morning practice

Speaker: 00:04:59

challenge, it's hosted on a new community platform.

Speaker: 00:05:02

That is the we are already free Academy.

Speaker: 00:05:05

Basically a place that I'm envisioning

Speaker: 00:05:06

that everyone who loves listening to this podcast and everyone who's connected with

Speaker: 00:05:10

my poetry and my songs and all of these messages that are coming through and would

Speaker: 00:05:14

like to connect with other people around the world, to feel, heal and grow

Speaker: 00:05:18

together, to practice our sovereignty, to practice really showing up.

Speaker: 00:05:22

What does that mean?

Speaker: 00:05:23

Conscious communication, breath work, morning practices, focusing on what we can

Speaker: 00:05:27

change, what we can embody inside of ourselves, making peace inside of

Speaker: 00:05:31

ourselves, and trusting that through that, the whole world changes.

Speaker: 00:05:35

So I'm creating this community platform, which is where the challenge is hosted.

Speaker: 00:05:38

So you can either just buy the challenge for a one soft price.

Speaker: 00:05:42

The Morning Practice Challenge.

Speaker: 00:05:43

Or you can join the community for a kind of pioneer member subscription.

Speaker: 00:05:48

Which is just going to be limited to the

Speaker: 00:05:51

first sort of 30 or so people who join at that level.

Speaker: 00:05:53

And that'll get you access to the live events.

Speaker: 00:05:56

To any courses that I create in the future.

Speaker: 00:05:58

To the community chat rooms. Et cetera.

Speaker: 00:06:00

And again, as I've said before, you will

Speaker: 00:06:02

be supporting this podcast directly because, as you know, it takes a lot of

Speaker: 00:06:07

time, it takes a lot of effort, and I love doing it.

Speaker: 00:06:09

And I'm realizing it's really important that I ask for support in this moment

Speaker: 00:06:13

because I've got my beautiful lady Carly and this piece of land that we're working

Speaker: 00:06:16

on, and I really have this feeling of, wow, I do enjoy giving so much.

Speaker: 00:06:21

And I feel the old wound of just wanting to give and give and give so that

Speaker: 00:06:24

everyone's like, oh, Nathan's a lovely guy.

Speaker: 00:06:28

What a nice guy Nathan is.

Speaker: 00:06:29

Meanwhile, I'm over here being like, I don't know how to afford the next month.

Speaker: 00:06:33

And I'm saying that really with the likeness of heart.

Speaker: 00:06:36

I don't feel like a victim here.

Speaker: 00:06:38

I feel empowered.

Speaker: 00:06:39

I feel excited that I get to share this

Speaker: 00:06:41

message that we are already free, that literally, we can choose where to put our

Speaker: 00:06:45

energy and our resources to grow more of the world that we believe in together.

Speaker: 00:06:49

I mean, what a phenomenal experience.

Speaker: 00:06:52

And then the final thing that you'll find on that page is a link to a free one to

Speaker: 00:06:56

one discovery call, a discovery session with me.

Speaker: 00:06:59

As you may or may not know, I work as an intuitive transformational guide.

Speaker: 00:07:04

I have counseling experience, I have a certification as a pro personal coach, as

Speaker: 00:07:11

well as my breath work facilitation, as well as just a lifetime of being deeply

Speaker: 00:07:15

empathetic and deeply feeling in this reality that we're in.

Speaker: 00:07:18

And the feedback from all my clients so far has been amazing.

Speaker: 00:07:22

So if you are one of them, thank you for beautiful work with me.

Speaker: 00:07:25

It's such an honor to watch you blossom and transform.

Speaker: 00:07:28

I've just got back from a weekend away.

Speaker: 00:07:31

I cofacilitated a breath work retreat at

Speaker: 00:07:33

Bodhikaya Nature Retreat Center here in South Africa and the 16 beautiful people

Speaker: 00:07:39

who came, and my cofacilitator and organizer, Olivia Moon.

Speaker: 00:07:43

It was a reminder of the fact that when we

Speaker: 00:07:46

come together and open our hearts and breathe together and laugh and cry and get

Speaker: 00:07:52

in the water and eat good food and really just sink into the present moment and

Speaker: 00:07:57

allow the present moment to fully emanate through us.

Speaker: 00:08:00

To resonate as we realize that this whole existence that we're having is music.

Speaker: 00:08:06

Is that we are alive in the song of life.

Speaker: 00:08:08

It is the deepest medicine.

Speaker: 00:08:10

I felt just complete expansion in that space, and that's what's inspired me to

Speaker: 00:08:15

ask for help, is to realize I'm not alone and I don't have to pretend I don't have

Speaker: 00:08:18

to pretend to be some guy who's got my story all together.

Speaker: 00:08:21

And I know how to talk to your pain points so that you sign up.

Speaker: 00:08:25

And I'm just talking from my heart to your heart.

Speaker: 00:08:27

And if you feel it, take action.

Speaker: 00:08:29

So again, one more time already, free me.

Speaker: 00:08:34

Connect that's, connect.

Speaker: 00:08:38

And I look forward to connecting with you further.

Speaker: 00:08:40

We have beautiful guests lined up on this podcast back to normal as always, every

Speaker: 00:08:46

week, just sharing this love and this joy with the world.

Speaker: 00:08:50

So thank you.

Speaker: 00:08:51

Wherever you are, whoever you are, however you are.

Speaker: 00:08:54

Blessings on the path.

Speaker: 00:08:55

I'll see you in the next episode, and hopefully I'll see you really soon in one

Speaker: 00:08:59

of the other places, in one of the other sharings.
