Wayfair. Every style, every home. Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Cani Crystals, the podcast. I hope that you're all well. Wow, what a week it's been. An absolute whirlwind, in fact. So, as you know, a few weeks ago I was ill from a bug that Jake had brought home from nursery, and just when I felt like I was starting to get over it, last Friday, Johnny, my partner, he went and he got Jake from the nursery, and when he got home, he was his usual smiley self, you know, constantly saying, "Dada," in the way he does, and looking up at me like nothing was any different. So I was sat on the floor with him, I got some of his toys out to play with him, and he just looked at me and I could just sense that something wasn't right. I know people always say about having like a sixth sense with your kids or a bit of an intuition with something not being right. And I went and got him his water bottle, and when I came back, he was just sat there and he was starting to tremor almost in his hands. His little teeth were chattering against each other. He's got like 2 teeth on the top, 2 on the bottom, there's a few others cutting through. And I just thought, is he in pain with his teeth? Like, what's going on here? His teeth were chattering, and I wrapped up in his blanket. I held him close to me, and I was just checking the heating in the house thinking, God, is it cold? Like, I didn't think it was that cold. And I grabbed his digital thermometer and I stuck it in his ear, and his temperature was around 35 degrees. So I just continued to just warm him up as we sat there cuddling. And I kid you not, within just 5 minutes— 5 minutes, it turned so quickly— he was like an absolute radiator. So I checked his temperature again and it was now 41 degrees. Bearing in mind, for those of you that don't have kids or don't know anything about them, for a 1-year-old, their temperature should be around 36 or 37. So it was now 41 degrees. It went up so quickly. I got Johnny, my partner, to ring 111 for a bit of advice. I stripped him off, and, you know, he was just sat there in his nappy. His skin was so bright red, he was burning up massively. Now, he very rarely sits still, you know, even when you just want to cuddle, he's trying to use you as a climbing frame constantly. But he kind of just went all limp on me chest and he was gasping for breath. And so I started panicking, and when I looked at him— God, I'm getting emotional just even talking about this— when I looked at him, his eyes were all glazed over and he was drooling, and it was, it was awful. It was absolutely horrible. And I'm sorry if that triggered anyone. Um, the paramedic on the phone told us that this was likely to be a fever and he might be a bit delirious from like overheating. So they sent out an ambulance, off we went to pediatric A&E for the night. It was so distressing, so worrying obviously our heads were all over the place, but he was treated so well with all the amazing staff at the RVI here in Newcastle. They were all absolutely incredible, so big shout out to all the doctors and nurses there. So last weekend for me was all a bit of a blur because I feel like I was just constantly on edge watching him for those tremors, you know, trembling, other signs that his temperature had gone up or down. And I'm just super happy to report back now that after lots of antibiotics and a few other meds, he really perked up around Monday, Tuesday this week. And he's pretty much back to his normal self. So I'm just really, really happy about that. Really, really happy. He had his, um, shots at the doctor's as well earlier this week, his MMR and I think 3 others. He screamed the place down. I felt like such a bad parent, but I know it's all for the best. I really know it's all for the best and it will help him. But yeah, it's just so worrying when they can't speak and tell you what's wrong, isn't it? I feel like I've joined this brand new world of parenting because really this is his first proper illness, and he had a cold back last year sometime, but it was easily manageable. Like, I've just bought him some Vicks, some saline nasal spray to get rid of the congestion. He had a plug-in nightlight as well that obviously gave out like this Olbas Oil scent around his room. But this was my first real panic about him. And just as one of me members said to us the other day, you know, you've got 17 more years of this to look forward to, Mart. So Thank you very much for that. Anyway, let's get on with today's episode rather than just me filling you in on my life. I do like a bit of a coffee and a catch-up, but you know, all I do is talk about myself. But then again, if I didn't, it'd just be you sat here right now listening to silence. So there we go. Anyway, I just want to start this episode by saying a gigantic thank you, and I'm putting me hands on me heart. I know you can't see us, but I'm putting me hands on me heart as I say this. A gigantic thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love and support yesterday on the day of my book launch. You can now get Limitless worldwide on Amazon with free next-day delivery. And honestly, it feels so weird to have my book finally published and in people's hands, and I'm just so, so grateful to each and every single one of you that have bought it so far, that have shared my post, that have commented on any of my content promoting it. Honestly, it just means so, so much to me. And if you're here listening today, you already know firsthand that we're all about raising our vibrations, we're all about stepping into our power, we're all about manifesting that life that we truly desire. And today's episode, it's going to be a special one because today I am giving you lot an exclusive juicy sneak peek into my new book, Limitless: Elevate Your Existence, Manifest Your Dreams. I know a lot of you will have bought it yesterday already if you're listening to this, but I want to be able to just tell you about the book and what it's about and what you can expect from it, because I know a lot of your copies will be probably out for delivery like for the rest of the day. Do you know what I mean? So I cannot tell you how excited I am about this book. This has been a labor of love. It's been years of learning, practicing, fine-tuning, kind of all wrapped into one powerful guide to help you break through those limitations and start living the life that you were born to give. Someone even commented on my post yesterday saying something like, I just love that this is like a manifestation Bible, because it's not just about manifestation, it's about crystal healing, it's about releasing limiting beliefs, it's about elevating your vibration, it's about subliminals, meditation, visualization, EFT, all these different things. Like, we read so many books and it'll just be about crystals or it'll be about tapping. This book is like your manifestation Bible. And I love that someone commented that yesterday because I thought, yes, this is exactly what I wanted people to think the book was about. So in this episode, we are just going to dive deep into one of the core concepts from the book, and it's something that will completely shift the way that you see manifestation and your ability to create that reality that you want. Plus, I'll also be sharing a little about my personal writing journey as well, because I want to let you know why I wrote the book and what I truly hope that it does for people like you. So if you've been feeling stuck If you know that you are meant for more but you just don't know how to unlock that next level, this episode and the book is for you. So one of the biggest things that I talk about in Limitless, and one of the biggest game changers I'm going to say in my own manifestation journey, is the power of energy alignment. Now, if you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things, you know, you're scripting, you're doing your vision boards, you're doing your affirmations, but you're still not seeing those results this might be why. So here's the deal: manifestation isn't just about what you want, it's about who you are being. And I'm going to say that again because it's that important. Manifestation isn't just about what you want, it's about who you are being. So it's not just about the goals that you write down or the affirmations that you repeat, it's about the energy that you're carrying or the beliefs that you hold and the frequency that you're vibrating at on a daily basis. So I know I talk about this analogy all the time, but think of it like a radio station. If you're trying to tune into 98.1 FM, oy oy, BBC Radio 1, but you are stuck on, say, 88.5, all you're going to hear is static. The frequency that you are on in your life determines what you will receive in your life. So if you're trying to manifest abundance but deep down your energy is still stuck in that fear, lack, self-doubt, scarcity, it's almost like trying to tune in a success on the wrong station. You're never going to get the right station. But the good news is you can shift your frequency. You can get into alignment with the reality that you want, and in Limitless, I show you exactly how to do that. But let me give you a little head start right now. So if you're feeling like manifestation isn't working, or you're just not seeing results as quickly as you'd like, here are 3 powerful steps straight from the book that will help you shift your energy and start attracting what you truly want. The first is to raise your vibration daily. Your energy is like a magnet, so whatever frequency you're vibrating at, you're attracting more of the same thing. So one of the simplest but probably most powerful things that you can do is make raising your vibration a daily practice. So some of my favorite ways are, you know, gratitude. Gratitude is huge. When you focus on what's already amazing in your life, you shift into a high vibe state instantly. Another is movement. So whether that be yoga, dancing in your kitchen while you're waiting for the kettle to boil, might be a simple walk in nature, might be just moving your body. Whatever you do, it shifts your energy fast. The third is meditation. So even just 5 minutes of stillness in bed on a morning, that can raise your frequency and help clear your mind. And the fourth is surrounding yourself with high vibe people. You know, your tribe attracts your vibe. Ever noticed how some people just light you up when you're around them? Spend more time with them, okay? The second step is to release what is holding you back. So here's the thing, you cannot manifest beyond your own beliefs. So if deep down you're holding on limiting beliefs like, "I'm not worthy of success," or, "Money is hard to come by," or, "I always sabotage my progress," then that's the energy that you're putting out into the world. Even if you are doing all the vision boarding in the world, doesn't matter. If you are putting that energy out that is what you're going to get back in return. So how do we release these beliefs? In Limitless, in the book, I teach powerful techniques like EFT tapping, subconscious reprogramming, and guided journaling as well to help you shift those blocks for good. So for now, something that you can do, a little exercise: write down one limiting belief that you have and then ask yourself, where did that belief come from? Is it even true? And then rewrite that into an empowering belief instead. So as an example, I could say, "I'm not good with money." Instead, I'm going to turn that on its head and I'm going to say, "I am learning to manage money with ease. Abundance flows to me effortlessly." But one of the most powerful things you can do, like I say, is ask yourself, where did that come from? Is it even true? Because a lot of our limiting beliefs are superimposed on us by our family, by our friends, by the media, and we grow up thinking that they are true, when in actual fact it might just relate to an early memory that you have, like an early core memory of something that happened at school or something that your mom or dad said to you when you were younger. Okay, so start working out where that belief came from, and then when you figure that out, think, is this true? How does this show up in my daily life? And if it's not true, we can get rid of it. Simple shifts like that create massive energetic changes. And the third step is to step into the energy of already having what you want. So this is where the magic really happens. The universe responds to who you are being. So if you want to manifest something, you need to start embodying that version of you who already has it. So ask yourself, how does future me think, feel, and act? That's really important. How does that version of you— how do they think? How do they feel? How do they act? How do they walk around in life? What daily habits does that version of me have? Does that person just sit on the couch all day scrolling Facebook? Do they sit on websites like TattlLife that just troll people all day? Do they just mope around the house hoping that something's going to change but not actually do anything about it? Think about what daily habits that version of you has, and then think about also what would you do if you fully trusted that your manifestation was coming. So it's like if you got a phone call this morning and it was someone from the National Lottery. In the UK we have this thing called the National Lottery. You can put on a ticket. I think in, what's it called in America? It's called Powerball or something in America. So you know what I'm talking about anyway. Imagine if the National Lottery called you this morning and just said, oh, you've won £1 million. You verified it was a real call and it wasn't a scam, it wasn't a fake or anything like that. You knew that that £1 million would come to you and you knew it was going to come to you by the end of the day. How would you feel if you fully trusted that your manifestation was coming? Get into that mindset of knowing that it's coming. It doesn't have to be today, it doesn't have to be by the end of the week. Just know that your manifestation is coming and embody that feeling. But when you start making those shifts now, you will be shocked at how quickly your external reality catches up with you. And you know, I wrote Limitless because I know what it feels like to be there. I know what it feels like to be stuck. To know that you're meant for more, but you have no idea how to bridge that gap between where you are right now and where you actually want to be. So my journey from working a 9-to-5 that drained me to hell to creating a life that I love, it's been one of deep spiritual growth, mindset shifts, and trial and error, because not everything has worked for me, okay? And I wanted to create a bit of a roadmap to make that journey easier for you. I really wish that there was a book like this when I first got into spirituality. I read The Secret, which I'm sure the majority of you have read, but it just talks about manifestation, doesn't really talk about any other modalities. It goes into a lot of deep detail, but then it kind of repeats itself over and over again. So my book Limitless is a blend of ancient wisdom and modern self-development. So it's practical, it's powerful, and you know what, it's designed to help you break through your blocks and start manifesting with ease. So looking back, I started writing this book at the very beginning of January last year., and after a few kickoff calls with my publisher, I specifically remember going to a little coffee shop down the Quayside here in Newcastle. I had my laptop with me, and I just whacked in some headphones. I started playing around with what I wanted the book to be about. And you know what? So many of you have since asked me as well, what is the book about? So let me tell you, I read so many Law of Attraction books, I'm going to say, in the last 5 or 6 years. I read so many manifestation books, so many crystal healing books, but other than The Secret, none have really captivated me the whole way through. And don't get us wrong, I've learned something from each of them, but my goal was to write a book that people would be absolutely glued to reading from start to finish and not just take away one thing from, because I wanted this book to be a toolkit to change people's lives. And so I started writing about all the different topics that I wanted to cover, such as manifestation, crystal healing, meditation, EFT, Reiki. And I spoke to Chloe, me editor, and I said to her, I want to bring this book to life, you know. I didn't just want it to be, here's a step-by-step guide to crystals, go away and do it. And so she coached me beautifully, might I add, about how to really connect with you lot, the readers. And so Limitless brings it all to life. It gives you real-life experiences and real-life situations that I've actually been in myself where this tool or technique that I'm discussing has actually helped me get through it. And with that in mind, I just started writing. I got about halfway through the first chapter, and for those of you that are longtime listeners of the pod, you will know just 2 weeks into writing this book and really getting into the flow of things, we got a phone call to say that there was a girl in hospital about to have a baby and she wanted to relinquish due to her young age. She was no longer with the father And so there I was, midway through writing chapter 1, with my whole life now turned on its head. And to be honest, it was a huge blessing, do you know what I mean? I'm not knocking it at all. I am so, so grateful that we have him in our lives. But if I'm brutally honest with you, I almost gave up on the book there and then, because I thought, how am I going to get capacity now to write this book? How am I going to be able to put all of my energy, all of my love, and everything that I wanted to put into this book? How am I going to give it my all? And there was one day I remember being sat on the couch with Johnny after just 2 or 3 days of, you know, being parents, and I said to him, "I can't write me book at the same time as this with all this sleep deprivation." And I really had to have a pep talk with Chloe as well, where she acknowledged that I had a lot on me plate, but she also made me feel like I was capable of delivering something magical. And that kind of lit a rocket under my arse. And so whenever Jake was sleeping beside me on the couch, or whenever me mam came over to help out around the house, I just thought, right, I'm gonna grab my laptop and I'm gonna write something. And sometimes what I'd written just didn't even make sense. Sometimes it was just me, you know, brain dumping little anecdotes that I was thinking of, or little things that had happened, or knowledge around that specific chapter. Sometimes I'd just go over what I'd previously written. And it wasn't until I'd had a couple more accountability calls with Chloe that I sharp realised I was falling behind with me writing, and I said that I would write one chapter every 3 weeks, and there I was 3 weeks in with only half the first chapter complete. And you know what, I just wasn't happy with it. So I just figured, you know, I can do this. I have to carve out some me time every now and again, and I just need to crack on, stop whining about it, and just do it. Step outside of me comfort zone and just do it anyway. So sometimes Jake would get me up at 3 AM. He was crying for a feed. I'd come downstairs, I'd make him his milk bottle, and instead of going back to bed, I would sit on the couch downstairs with him beside me in his little bed, and I would write for 4 hours before Johnny got up for work. And I found that this really worked for me, and I really got into my stride of writing. And I mean, yes, obviously I crashed mid-afternoon with being up so early, but I found that that really, really worked for me. And so every 3 weeks I delivered a new chapter to me publishers, and then back in October, November time, we decided on the order of the book to just ensure that it flowed perfectly. And then I thought to myself, I want to bring this book to life. I really do want to bring this book to life. And so I committed to creating a little toolkit to go alongside the book. So at the end of some of the chapters, let's say the one about meditating, for example, there is an activity to download a free meditation where I teach you how to meditate. Or the chapter about subliminals has a free subliminal that you can listen to. And then after writing the book and doing all of those little activities, there was the whole book cover debacle. Oh my God, I could have had them all as my book cover, if I'm totally honest with you. The designer went away, she listened to everything that I wanted on the COVID and she threw back lots of designs at me, and I said what I loved and what I didn't love about each. And then what she did is she took those comments away and came back with another 6 designs. And again, I just told her what I loved about them, what I didn't love about them. Then she fired 3 back at me, which were an amalgamation of my comments. And then we decided on the one that won. And the COVID that won, and the one that you see today, is my aura. Because ultimately, the book is all about how we're all a makeup of energy. So I thought, what better way to portray that than to show my energetic aura on the front cover. So some of you might remember myself and Francesca Amber, we went to a Penguin event, um, it was like a publisher day in London. I think it was back in October. They had this machine that read your aura. Well, this is what mine looked like. It was a lot of deep orange in the middle of me face surrounded by a few dots of pink on the outside, and then it had like blue around the outside of that. So that is the story of my cover, and now you know. It's like this aura pattern where it's got orange, pink, and blue. They are my auras because this is my story, this is my energy that I'm giving to you. And once the book and its cover was finalized, I then had to proofread it. I'm gonna say 8 or 9 times from COVID to cover. 8 or 9 times. Honestly, I'm bloody fed up with the book. I was looking for spelling errors, punctuation, formatting issues, just making sure that everything made sense and everything was perfect. Because the last thing I wanted to do was to put out a book that had, you know, spelling errors or anything like that, or just little tiny mistakes. So my publishers were going through it over and over again as well, but I just thought, you know, I'm a bit of a control freak, I'm not gonna lie. I just wanted to make sure it was perfect. And one day, Johnny's mam, Jane, she was over to visit us from Malaga, and I think she read the first 3 chapters. And you know what, this was the first bit of feedback that I had about the book. She said how emotional it was and that how much she was enjoying reading it. And since then, I've gifted a proof copy to a couple of friends to read through just to see what they think. One of them even said that she cried a couple of times, and I was thinking, that wasn't really what I was going for when I wrote it. But you know, this is the power of storytelling. It captivates people enough to conjure up these super powerful emotions, and honestly, I'm just buzzing that it invokes that kind of response. So in a nutshell, the book is about breaking free from limitations and stepping into your full potential by combining spiritual wisdom with practical self-development techniques. And I want people to see it as a guide to raising your vibrations, shifting your mindset, and aligning your energy to manifest that life that you truly want. And I want you to be able to learn how to release limiting beliefs, how to cultivate that inner peace, and how to create a reality filled with abundance, purpose, and joy.
