The Journey of Transformation

We’re at episode 70, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Why? Because we are on this journey together. And that matters more than ever. In this solo episode, I explain (on a physics level) why we’re truly in this together, why we should be an advocate for our own grief, and why I’m calling you to go out in nature. Please join me on this journey of transformation.

2:38 - Why this time in our world is necessary

5:39 - A powerful meditation on grief

EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

Freddie Kimmel (00:02.274)
Welcome to the Beautifully Broken Podcast brought to you by AmpCoil. I'm your host, Freddie Kimmel, and on this show, we discuss the common threads survivors share after walking through the fire, the practitioners making a difference, and the treatment modalities that deliver healing back into the hands of the people who need it most. Witness the inspiration we gain by navigating the human experience with grace, humility, and a healthy dose of mistakes. Because part of being human is being beautifully broken.

Freddie Kimmel (00:34.735)
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the beautifully broken podcast. Joining me, I'm honored you're here with me. I know who's listening. I look at the numbers every week. We're at episode number 70. And I couldn't be more excited about it. Why? Because we're on a journey together. We're learning together. We're feeling this together. And if you've tapped into the collective and not been living under a rock, I assume if you're listening to this podcast,

you're doing some element of social media, you feel something happening in your heart at night. Maybe there's a little bit of collective hurt, some pain.

Are you worrying for your brothers and sisters across the planet? I know I am. What I've come to realize over the last few months is that some of the things that I'm feeling, they aren't mine. It's the emotions of the planet. As woo woo as that sounds, it's the collective. It's a city that I lived in for 20 years in New York, which I know is on a little bit of a pause, more than the rest of the country right now. And as they recover from

three months shut down and civil unrest. I feel them. I do. feel. It sounds so weird. I'm with my brothers and sisters. I feel these feelings moving through my body. So when we say we're all in this together, whether you want to admit it or not, we are. And I think the more breath work we do, the more meditation, the more spiritual development, maybe the plant medicine,

Those tools aren't meant to escape the body. They're present as tools to bring you back into the body. So we can experience the full spectrum, the full emotion, sometimes the full levels of grief that were offered on the planet. Has anybody looked at the situation of the world and thought, this is bad. This is really bad. This is terrible. What are we going to do?

Freddie Kimmel (02:48.355)
Are we going to get out of this? I mean, listen, I have these feelings. I question it. But then I come back into me. I come back to the internal compass that I know other people see. I come back into my vibration. That's my soul. That's I'm speaking from the heart when I speak. Anytime I'm doing a podcast, I'm connecting with the person one on one.

doing a Zoom with 200 people, it's me. And that me has hope. I see, I feel, I hear, I hear us on the other side. I do. I see us moving through this. It's painful. It's really painful. But to move into this, into this world that we were.

that we were read to as children, the storybooks, this utopian society, heaven on earth. Did you think there wouldn't be pain to get there? There's gonna be pain to get there. But I still don't view this as bad. What's happening right now, what's unfolding, the civil unrest, the global pandemic.

I choose to view these as necessary. Listen, it's ripping off the bandaid. It's becoming aware of your blind spot.

It's really hearing your neighbor, your brother's sister.

Freddie Kimmel (04:28.792)
It's sitting down and it's being quiet and it's listening.

It's necessary.

I don't view it as bad. I'm a believer that things are the way they are and life is unfolding as it should. Life is unfolding as it should. And we're moving through some very painful experiences right now as human beings.

But in my heart of hearts, think there's beauty on the other side. But you have to allow yourself to feel the pain. I don't think there's anybody right now that feels like there's anywhere they could go or anywhere you could run, myself included. Were I to book a ticket to Hawaii and be alone on a desert island, I think I would still feel what I feel in my heart. And I wouldn't feel right, or I wouldn't feel joy.

Unless I was moved into action. I don't want to go on vacation. I want to get my hands dirty. I want to fix some of this stuff.

Freddie Kimmel (05:38.929)
So here we are, episode 70. I'm glad you're with me. I'm glad you're here. I'm honored you're listening. And I want to offer this quote about grief that my friend Kathy gifted me from the wild edge of sorrow. Everything we love, we will lose. Without the awareness and willingness,

to be shaped by life, we remain caught in the adolescent strategies of avoidance and heroic striving. I'm an advocate for grief and see the many ways it gifts us. While it's difficult to embrace grief and be moved by its muscular demands, without it, we would not know the heartening quality of compassion, could not experience the full breath of love, the surprise of joy,

we could not celebrate the sheer beauty of the world. Grief fosters each of these capabilities, deepening them by bringing gravity to the moment. Grief is the dark color that adds depth to the canvas, providing contrast and texture. I'm not suggesting that we live a life preoccupied with sorrow. I am saying that our refusal to welcome the sorrows that come to us, our inability to move through these experiences with true presence and conscious awareness,

condemn us to a life shallowed by grief. Shallowed. Welcoming everything that comes to us is a challenge and the secret to being fully alive. I see this work as soul activism, a form of deep, deep resistance to the disconnected way in which our society has conditioned us to live. Francis Weller. So I've been sitting with this passage for a while. I've been sitting with this passage for a while.

And I'm aware for myself, again, being solution-based, how I've been allowed to let some of this grief move through my body, being outside of the city, being in nature, and truly watching it unfold the longer that I'm here. Bare feet on the ground, skin soaking up vitamin D, recharging my body. And with these inputs of information, I can allow the sadness and grief to move through.

Freddie Kimmel (08:06.246)
So what I would suggest is if you have the chance, if you have the opportunity, find some time in nature, drop in to the Schumann resonance. Does everybody know what the Schumann resonance is? It's actually quite divine. I'm gonna pull up something here on the Schumann resonance. So there's not a single person on earth, like I said before, who's felt strange.

especially in the last three months. And what the Schumann resonance is, or the Schumann frequency, is a global electromagnetic resonance named after the German physicist Winfried Otto Schumann, who mathematically predicted this resonance in 1952. The official description on Wikipedia, the Schumann resonance is a phenomenon whereby electromagnetic waves of certain frequencies create standing waves on earth.

This can also be known as the heartbeat of the planet. We can see spikes in this field where lightning hits the earth. We can see changes and shifts as the planet goes through different phases of the calendar year. We're connected, whether we want to admit it or not, we're connected. And we can look in the realm of quantum physics and see how there are waves not bound by time.

And we're at a point in our world where we can almost scientifically prove the power of prayer. We're at a point in our lives where we, through science, can show after spending a significant time with a lover, why you'll always be connected to that person. And when they hurt, you hurt a little bit. And for me, knowing that we're all in this together, truly, truly, that we're in this together.

That's how we'll move forward as a human race. That's how we'll see what's on the other side. That's where we'll get to a place where we hear each other, we listen to each other, we respect each other. And before we're moved into action by emotion, we take the emotion out of it. And we accept the beauty, the divine beauty that's in your heart.

Freddie Kimmel (10:28.58)
and your heart and your heart. We own that. We own that. I think I was talking a couple weeks ago about like what's in the cup, right? Like we have this barrel of emotion in the body. What happens when you're pushed? What spills out? It's what you cultivate. It's what you put in the day to day. That's the work. That is the journey of transformation. What are we filling up our cup with?

So if it's all sunshine and rainbows, it's a life devoid of all the colors you can paint with.

So in this time when it's bad or it hurts or it doesn't feel good, allow yourself a safe space where you can experience the full spectrum of these emotions. I think you'll be a better human for it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to close it down. I love you so much. I honor you for spending this time with me. And I promise there'll be more. Namaste. Ladies and gentlemen, you made it to the end of the podcast. Now in a world where the average attention span is less than 10 seconds, we just spent almost an hour together.
