Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Conscious Pivot Podcast on Pivot Radio. And I'm so excited to be here with you today. This morning I have an amazing guest to share with you, and she's right now, she's in beautiful France, and so it's a bit later in the day than it is here in Southern California. And I want to say a couple things about this lovely lady. She's actually a new friend, somebody that I've heard about. She's kind of world famous, really, which is way cool. But I got to meet her at a recent Transformational Leadership Council event which we were attending in Los Cabos, beautiful Mexico, and we had a lot of fun and hit it off and have a lot of things in common and really wanted to share some. I wanted to share some of her wisdom. She was gracious enough to agree to come on the podcast and share some thoughts with all of you. So this is beautiful moment right now. And so whatever you're doing, maybe you're driving, you're walking, running at the gym, maybe you're at the office and you're taking a break from work, but take this time for yourself. And over the next sort of 30 minutes, if you can, be relaxed and in a place where you can just open your mind and open your heart and enjoy something that's really for you. So hopefully you're not multitasking as you're doing this, but either way, whatever you're doing, we love you and many, many blessings we're wishing to you. So this lovely, lovely lady's name is Marie Diamond. I'm going to read just a few things because I want to make sure that I really honor her properly. And then we'll bring Marie Han and have a bit of Q and A on some subjects that I think will be near and dear to all of your hearts. So Marie diamond is a global transformational leader, motivational speaker, bestselling author, and teacher. She's also one of the world's leading feng Shui masters, Dao Xing Masters. She created several energy systems to uplift humanity. Diamond Feng Shui Diamond Daoxing, Inner diamond and Diamond Leadership. She is a woman of the west because she lived in Europe, still lives in Europe, in North America as well, and she's taken the best from the East, Feng shui, dao, sing, meditation and ancient wisdom, and brings it together in a fun, joyful, comprehensible, deeply spiritual way to her customers and her clients and her students worldwide. She's also the only European star in the worldwide phenomenon that we all know as the Secret. Very, very cool. She's president and founder of the association of Transformational Leaders and founding member of a global transformational leadership Council. She inspires organizations, companies, and countries to transform their systems. Her vision since the time she was 15 years old was to enlighten more than 500 million people worldwide. She's well on her way to doing that, and her work has spread to more than 190 countries around the globe. She now lives in France, as I said earlier, with her family and her youngest children. So, without further ado, I feel very, very blessed and really enthusiastic to speak to you today, Marie. So how are you?

I'm very good, and thank you, Adam, for allowing me to be with you today and all the people that are listening and view us today or later.

Yes, yes. Well, it's. I love podcasts. It's something I'm. I'm just kind of discovering it, and I'm a bit of a neophyte at it. So vulnerably, I say, done a lot of interviews over the years, having been, you know, running a transformational training company for many, many years and training, gosh, more than 100,000 students. We spent a lot of time with, with other people that are really committed to service, to serving humanity. And so I've had lots of interviews and introductions and things, but this podcast thing is new and different, and I'm enjoying it. It's a lot of fun, and I recommend it to everybody who's listening. Go ahead and learn about how to get a podcast out there and share your wisdom with the world. This is really amazing times. And we think, if anything, we could all agree on the fact that more collective wisdom, sharing more of our consciousness across the globe is something that we can all do, participate in. So it's just magical. So thanks for joining me and joining us. And, you know, I've written this book called Pivot. I speak on the subject of pivoting, which is sort of code for reinvention, but the word has really sort of been unpacked in a number of different ways. For me, over the Last few months. To me, this word pivoting is really synonymous with not just reinventing, whether it's your career or your or your life in some way, but it's about evolution. It's about transformation. How is it that we're just continuing to manifest change, Change, which is the cosmic law, right? Nothing, nothing can remain the same. Things that are stagnant end up dying. And it's, it's that process of decay, I think, that really steals the joy from people's lives. I know that was the case for me when I was practicing law for more than 15 years and waking up unenthusiastic about the day and feeling actually some dread about what I was going to be doing. I could just feel something dying on the inside. And I didn't have any languaging for it at the time, but now I get it that it was like my soul was shriveling up. And I know you do a lot of work with people to help to regenerate them, regenerate their energy in their bodies and in their minds and their spirits, their souls. And you even do work with them sort of on the physical side of things to help them to regenerate energy and find greater connection with source. And I would love it if just at the beginning you shared a little bit about, you know, anything else you want to say about your experience. But really, what is it that has driven you since the time you were 15 years old to want to be a healer and want to help people to make great changes in their life for the better?

Well, you know, I think we are, you know, on a journey. And so my journey was definitely to connecting with the world in a very positive way. But before I could do that, I had to go myself through a pivot moment, of course, and always is this way. So for me, I was run over by a truck at 15. I had a near death experience. I went to what we call the other side. I was in a higher dimension. There were all beautiful beings of light. And they gave me the message that I was here to enlighten more than 500 million people. And I had to go back to do this. Right now I'm 15, I'm a high school student. So this is before the Internet, right? So you have no idea. You cannot check out what is all this word like enlightenment. So for me, I really felt it was being of service and to try to make a difference in people's life. So I tried to do it where I was now. That was at high school, of course, but I already Was connected in with meditation since about 7. I had a spiritual teacher that came on my path. And so I was already really like, okay, I need to get focused on getting higher frequencies, higher energy. And I felt like there were three aspects I needed to work on, and it was connecting with the inner and really connecting with my higher self. And I needed to contemplate and really observe and look at, you know, during my day, what I could improve for the next day and for the next week and the next year. I also knew it was service was a third aspect. So I just try to make a difference. But one of the things I felt was I was also a little bit disappointed at that time when this happened to me because I had tried to really already practice meditation and prayer and trying to be a role model and interesting enough. And I went back to my spiritual master. He said, you know, when I told him I'm very disappointed in myself that I attracted some. Something like this, like a truck, you know, accident. And he said, well, you just had bad feng shui memory. And I was like, what is that? And so he said, well, you know, there are three aspects to the law of attraction, to connecting in with your higher self. First of all, it's meditation and prayer and trying to release your karma. Any lessons you have come to redo in this lifetime. But it's also how you, of course, as a human being, how you are setting your mindset, how you have your emotional behavior, how you do things in the world, you know, to be positive and take action for the good of all. But there's also a third aspect, and that's the environment. And so that was really, really new to me. And he said, like, where you are sleeping right now? I said, yeah, I hate that place, right? And he said, yes, because it's not aligned for you. So he gave me my first steps in feng shui. And I didn't even really know what that many people could know that or I had no. No idea. So he told me my directions. He told me the college that would work for me. And so I went into another room. I changed things around, and my life shifted. My life shifted spiritually, energetically. But also I was very bullied at school. And suddenly these bullies became my friends. And, like, a lot of things shifted from being a very, you know, it was a person very alone. I didn't have the friends to be, you know, being with a very popular guy, somebody for his boyfriend. And it was like, all happened literally in like two weeks. It was like this big shift in two Weeks, Yeah, in two weeks that was like this. And I knew it was because I have changed my environment, because I hadn't changed anything else. So I started practicing all this information. And when I was 18, I had to make a choice. And so for me, it was thinking, I want to reach 500 million people. How can I be of service to so many people? And I thought, like, well, perhaps if I go into politics or I'm going to diplomacy. And so that's why I actually became a lawyer. Because in my country, becoming a lawyer was like a necessary step to become Prime Minister of Belgium or to be, you know, representative for the United Nations. I mean, I was thinking that level, and, you know, I really understood that I had to open up my mind and created a space for me to do this. And after five years practicing and working for the Belgian and the European government, I also saw that I could not reach. I couldn't help the others to reach a conscious level. And the politicians I was working with and the managers started asking me already, you know, why are you always so joyful? And you're. You're so positive and what do you do? You shine always. And. And I was starting to share with them, like I was doing meditation. I did this feng shui. And so I actually decided to set up a consulting company. And I. My first clients were actually politicians and top managers from the government to help them to. To go to that next level. And there is where I saw that that was my pivot moment to really go from world. I don't really, really feel I was corporate because I was like, it was just part of my service. You know, I was really very focused on that, into reaching more people. But then I already found that there wasn't another way I could do it. I could become a teacher. So I was teaching meditation and how to reach enlightenment. That I. That experience I had when I was about 26. So I knew where it could lead to, where people could be full of compassion and love and reaching out to people to be of higher service. So I was very focused at a very early age to do this. But after six, seven years, I was thinking, I'm still in Belgium. There's just 10 million people in Belgium. You cannot really reach 500 million. So I started going to America, and.

I want to pause you right there for just a second. So for the folks that are listening, I think Maria is describing, what I think we can all identify with is a pivotal. A pivotal time, pivotal moment where you. You discovered on some level that you. You had a Higher purpose. And you started to pursue that. You know, that you knew deep inside that you really wanted to have a major impact. And initially you thought, maybe I'll do it in politics, right? I've become a lawyer. So you studied to become a lawyer and you worked in. In the political arena for five, six years. Then you realize, well, no, not quite. So I'm going to pivot yet again and become a consultant, create a consultancy. And we're successful doing that, pursuing it. But then again, you reached a point where you realize, even though this is good and it's successful and I could continue down this path because that's safe, right? It would be a safe path. Now that on top of that, you still were not feeling that you were really, you know, kind of hitting on all cylinders. And so yet you pivoted again. Or that's what you're about to describe. Because now you're gonna go beyond Belgium, right?

That is a really good way to explain it is I was pivoting ongoing. And so then I was in America. And then I really just got, okay, move in three weeks. So I just jumped. I called my husband, said, let's move, we're coming here. And I was just in time to connect in with one of our colleagues, Marci Shaimoff, that connect me with Jack Canfield. I was doing some consulting for him and supporting his company and his family to go to reach a higher level of frequencies. And that's where he invited me to be part of tlc, the Transformation Leadership Council, where then I started having these dreams about this woman, half blonde hair, like, half blonde hair.

And.

And she said, in my dreams, I'm from Australia, you know, pay attention when I come in your life. And already a lot of visionary dreams in the past. So when I came to tlc, that was actually Rhonda Burnett came to sit next to me and said, hi, I'm Rhonda from Australia. And I said, okay, whatever you do, I need to do this. And she's like, you know, I'm doing this movie called Secret, but, you know, not a lot of people want to be interviewed. Say, I'm in. I need to do this. You're going to reach millions of people. You're going to millions of people. And she's like, wow, you're the first. That is so. Well, you know, I know it, I know it. And so I was interviewed and she was, you know, very surprised about my take on the Law of attraction and quantum physics from the environmental perspective. And she said, oh, you're going to Be in the movie. And I said, of course I'm going to be in the movie. It's on my vision board. I actually put on my vision board, I'm going to be in a movie seen by millions of people that will transform the world. Because I knew, you know, coming to America, I'm close to Hollywood. I can become part of a movie or something. So. But it had to. I also had to. In that opening up, I had to learn to say yes. So that's one of the things I have learned, is a total surrender and total trust. When these ideas come up, like, okay, move to America. I go like, you know, this woman comes. Yes, I'm ready to all the time going that feeling of I am ready and not going to resistance, you know, because we all have these dreams and these things we want to manifest. But then when it's brought in front of you, we start going a little bit into finding our excuses and to thinking, well, is that possible or is that not possible? I mean, I'm just. I always say I'm just a girl from. From Belgium, right, that just kept saying yes. You know, when my teacher said, you know this, when. When I got this dream, yes, I. I just kept saying yes to the opportunities that came in my life. But of course, I had directed them. I directed them by my meditation, by my way of thinking, by my environment. You know, my home, my office is aligned with what I exactly want based on what I share in diamond feng shui. So it's all about aligning. And if you then aligned and it comes in front of you, just say yes. That's the whole point, I think. Right.

And I've written some things down that I want to just repeat, so. So folks that are listening or watching even can take these notes. I am ready. I think that's a wonderful look. We're in the business of sharing concepts and words with people and languages because of Facebook Live and so many other things like that. The technology has made it possible for people to be broadcasters everywhere. Everybody has the capability right now to be a media company in some way. So words are everywhere. But I think that those are very powerful words that I don't hear every day. I am ready. I am ready. And what I heard you say was you said, I am ready. And then you said, yes. And that is incredible. And then you also mentioned surrender. Total surrender. And I know recently, in the last six months, I read a book by Michael Singer called the Surrender Experiment, which I highly recommend. Love the book. You know, this. The Untethered Soul I've recommended to thousands and thousands of people. But the Surrender Experiment is a very, very interesting and fascinating and powerful book on the sub, in some respects on the subject of what you're talking about, which is that when you can be in a. In a conducive, if I can use that word, a conducive environment, both internally and externally. So that environment that comes from the internal environment that comes from me, from meditation and prayer and being, creating some stillness, which is not an easy thing to do.

Very important part.

Yes. And the external environment, which is, you know, much of. I think what feng shui is about is the physical environment that you find yourself living and working in. And when you. And when those two things create a conduciveness, what would be the right word for that, but a receptivity.

Yeah, almost a conduit, actually.

That's a beautiful word, a conduit. Then you can receive information and guidance and access to something. Infinite intelligence. Even I know that's what has happened for me. And you've been training people to be able to access that, that greater wisdom for many, many years. So that you can actually say with, with authenticity that I am ready. And I can say yes, because you trust the source, where the information is coming from. Is that about right?

It's a very clear explanation. And I think it's. It's something every day. And I've been, you know, all my students and clients worldwide, they always go first, and I teach them a very simple meditation called the Tubes of Light, where I always say to people, you know, the first thing you do, you switch all these machines on, click, click your computer. You know, you're always on, but the only thing that is not on is you. Right? So you, you don't put yourself on, you don't connect in with the source. And you make sure that all your phones and your iPads and your computers are turned on and have battery, right. That you yourself are not connecting with the highest battery there is, and that's the universe. And so when you connect with that, and at the same time, you know, any system you have has what we call a firewall, has a protection shield. And so the second step is I always do a little protection moment where you say, look, all these other frequencies that are not the greatest energy, I don't allow them to really disturb me anymore. I have my firewall up, but all the good energy can come to me. And so, and also very important is to connect in with that higher source, what we call the quantum point is the connection with the quantum physical world where all this, you know, things that look impossible are totally possible. And, you know, when I look at my life, the stories that can be told, and everyone has these stories where if you go beyond that, the personality aspects of fear and doubt, I think these are the two greatest, I would say, stops, signs for us to move forward. Because we are in fear of many things and we're in doubt that if we set the step to move forward that we will regret it. And, you know, you see a lot of people and they're asking, do you have regrets? And say, no, I don't have regrets. Because they didn't follow the doubts, you know, they just, they said, while I'm in surrender, I'm going to see where this path leads me. And if you're on the wrong path, just get off the path and turn around and, you know, and try something else.

I mean, isn't it just that simple too, Marie? I mean, because that's what the book Pivot is really about and what the podcast conscious Pivot is that we, we can consciously choose to choose or to accept or surrender to a path to trust that the path that we're being led to is actually for our greater good and the greater good of others. And if it's wrong, if it doesn't feel right, if it doesn't turn out right, we can still pivot yet again or change our paths yet again.

Of course, I mean, you have to imagine this is myriads of changes in the universe, so you can go all directions. And it's just that we are still thinking from this one dimensional field where we're saying we have to go step by step by step. And I said, it doesn't work like this. It goes up and down and to the side and then, you know, steps up. And it is so much possibilities and more than you can imagine. You know, when I was thinking about being service, I could only think in the level of, you know, United nations or politics. But I would, at that moment, I couldn't even imagine doing a podcast with you right now, Adam. Right, so to be of service to humanity, I mean, the only thing I saw many, many years ago was when I asked my spiritual teacher, how will it happen? And he showed me, like millions of people and seeing my face on their little television screen, and he said, one day millions of people will see you on a television screen. Now, I had no idea what that meant. Now, if you think about it, this is Facebook Live, this is a podcast, this is a television movie called the Secret. I mean, it's just like that's the only thing I had as a glimpse of that. That would be, you know, of service. Or when I do my video webinars with my students, it's all through, you know, the same system that you're using. So people worldwide or we do live streaming when we do an event, I mean, people all look at this little screen, right? And they see us. And that was the only thing I saw. And that's like the image that was shown to me when I was 18. But you have to imagine there was just no way to comprehend at that time yet the evolution of technology. So right now, it is so much easier to be of difference to the world because you can blog, you can vlog, you can write a book, you can do a podcast, you can just do this amazing changes just close by and far away at the same time from your home. So everyone that says it's so hard to make a difference, I said, there has never been a time that it's easier to make a difference with your wisdom and your words and your heart than right now. So all these excuses that, you know, I had and you had, perhaps when we started this journey, they are gone because it's become so easy and effortless, but you just have a line to align yourself and say, yes, I'm ready, and I'm going to do this. And the how. I did not know the how. I'm sure you had no idea how to do the how. The how unfolds when you say, I'm ready.

I am ready. So this is the declaration, right? I am ready. So, Marie, in the short time we have left, I wanted to draw on something else you just said a moment ago. You said that you have a. You work through a process where you turn on. You turn on sort of that battery to connect to the universe, and you also put up a firewall to protect yourself. And it sounded to me like that in the form of a meditation, is something of a ritual. And so I've got another book that I'm working on that's really about the power of rituals in business and everyday life. So I'm actually quite excited about that as well. And I wanted, if you could, to either share a little bit more to unpack that meditation or ritual, or if you wanted to even sort of lead us through it a little bit, you could do that too, if you care to. Or any other ritual that you wanted to share is fine as well.

Well, there's two aspects that I would share with you is there's a Meditation aspect. And there's also how you connecting with your environment who is actually also or ritual to make sure you're in the right directions. And actually everything can be found on the Mary diamond app that is able to be downloaded for a little amount where they have that ritual, that tubes of light meditation. And also which direction you are meditating is a really important piece because everybody has, based on their birthday, four directions that really work well for you to reach a higher frequency. So if you're sitting facing in meditation towards a good direction, you actually go easier into what we call alpha brainwaves, theta and delta brainwaves. And if you're facing the wrong direction, you actually go and stay in beta brainwaves that make it more difficult for you to reach a certain point of lightness and enlightenment. So you have to also face the right direction. So that is one of the things as part of the ritual that my students have, they go to the app and they check always if they're in the right area, the right direction. But the meditation itself is like four steps. And I can lead you in it if you feel like it.

That would be great. And before we do that, because probably when the meditation is over, we'll probably kind of bring things to a nice slow end, which would be beautiful. So in advance of that, I'll say that please go on the app Store and check out Randy and I downloaded this beautiful app, Marie diamond. And you can find the app there. And it's a very nominal fee and it has all these things laid out. So I think it really is powerful to know, for example, in what direction should you be facing when you're meditating? Well, not should, but that, you know, you have this option to change your direction. So before we go into the meditation is there. So if you're meditating on the subject of let's say success, then you want to face the direction where you're. Your greater success lies. Right. If you're looking to draw in some wisdom from. From the universe or spirit, you'd face maybe in a different direction, relationships, maybe in another direction. Am I accurate to say that?

So there are four directions. One is for success and abundance. That's you will see if you look at the app that you actually. That is the direction that is indicated in blue. I just want to quickly open it up to so you would see it. And so you will see there is a blue section here. Yeah, that is. That would be your direction. Then there's health and well being. There's wisdom and connecting in with you. Know your teachers or God. And there is rose for relationships. Yeah. So people would hold a compass, and it kind of as you're holding it on your. In your hand, you are then realigning yourself to look at the direction that you want to really connect and receive insights from. And this is for the rest of your life that these are your directions based on your birthday. And then you will see also there's a, like a golden step every five days that you're getting to what to do to activate these directions to have even a stronger return on your focus. It's not return on investment. Return on your focus.

Return of focus.

Yeah.

But one of the things that people do is they try to always make sure they are. When you're sitting, you are facing that direction. But some people love to lay down when they meditate. Then their head has to be pointed towards that direction. When you are sitting, you look at that direction. So there's really two important pieces. So I would invite you to close your eyes and sit in a relaxed position. Make sure your spine is straight and your shoulders are relaxed.

And take a deep breath in, Take a deep breath out. As you keep breathing in and out in a relaxed way. Just imagine you're in a beautiful space in nature and the sun is shining. And the sun has this crystal white light that fills your whole body from your head till your feet and from your skin till deep into every cell of your body and the space between your cells. You're creating this sacred space in your body. And then you visualize also this sparkling white light to fill up your aura field. That's like an arm length all around you and above you. And just imagine this light is coming in and showers down all the heaviness and gives it to mother Earth. That returns it into beautiful energy for you to be grounded. Take a deep breath in and just let go of anything that is not longer serving you. Around this tube of light you just created. We are visualizing now the color royal blue. It's this warm blue color that comes around this tube of white light and also under your feet and goes up like an arm length above your head. Royal blue stands for the power of the universe. I am the power of the universe within me and around me. And it works as a filter. So all the positive frequencies that are outside of you can come through the filter. But all the less positive that are no longer serving you, remaining outside your royal blue firewall. And also any negative frequencies you want to bring to the universe is returning back to you for you to contemplate about. And now we're connecting with the color rose that stands for love and support of the universe. And imagine this is rose firewall coming all around this royal blue and under your feet, connecting with the love and support of the planet we are living on. And as we are surrounding ourselves with this love and support of the universe, we even imagine goes into the center of the universe, calling in all your spiritual teachers, your guidance, God, the angels, masters, anyone that for you has been supportive on your journey. Even this is a moment to be in gratitude to your friends and family and your loved ones that have always surrounded you with love. I am the love and support of the universe within me and around me. Take a deep breath in to accept now this love and support in and around you. Now imagine from under your feet, the color violet. As a violet fire going clockwise through your body, through your aura field, spinning clockwise till above your head into the universe. The color violet stands for forgiveness. Letting go. It's time to let go of your conscious and subconscious limited beliefs and programs. They are no longer serving you. So just feel that you're ready to let them go. And let this violet fire just do gently the work of clearing them, giving back to the universe. Take a deep breath in and let them go. Now imagine that an arm length above your head, you have this bright white light. And when you focus on it, it's like a magical hat that inside folds that connects your left and right brain in perfect harmony. And as you focus to that point on top of your magical hat, you have access to the quantum field of all your possibilities. And as you now the top of that magical hand, radiate now your light out to the world as this is already your start of making a difference from your soul. You're sending out your light, connecting in with your family and friends and colleagues, your community, and keep expanding that light to your country and to the world. As you are now enlightening from your soul.

Light.

Everyone on your path. And knowing that you're doing this right now, connect back with the top of the magical hat and stay there focused for the rest of the day. Then bring your hands together, move your hands. Bring your warm hands in front of your eyes. Open your eyes, let go of your.

Hands.

And you're ready to be of service.

Beautiful.
