How Intuition Unveils Your True Self | Sonia Choquette

Sonia Choquette delivers a live keynote about intuition as the pathway to one’s true self. Through personal anecdote (a pilgrimage to the Oracle of Delphi), repeated grounding prompts, and embodied group exercises (paired breath-sharing and a 3:40 "Breath of Life" movement/chant), she teaches three core tools: breathe, move, and know thyself (spirit rather than ego). The talk contrasts mental/ego energy with heart/spirit energy, emphasizes embodied signatures of intuition (light in the eyes, small smile, wiggle in the hips), and invites participants to trust inner guidance as a sacred servant to creativity, healing, and connection.

Thank you. I am beyond honored to be up here to bring us to not close, but transition. So the first thing I want to do is I want to invite all of you to put your books down because. Because you're saturated. It's enough. And so the next thing is to notice. And I want you to start with just first just noticing the energy. We're in transition. Intuition is one of my favorite definitions of intuition is to notice and to notice the subtle, to notice what's really happening. And you can't really notice unless you're in your bodies. And with all this information, it's very easy to spiral out. So everybody just move around a little bit and do this. Just say, muah. Muah. Put your hand on your heart, look at the person next to you, and muaha. So when Vishen asked me if I would be interested in closing, he asked me, well, what will you say? And I said, I don't know. Because I never know. I'm never in that space in my head of knowing. I go into a different space of listening. So I was sitting and listening today, and the first thing that came to me was a memory that I had forgotten about. When I first started traveling as a young woman by myself, one of the first places that I came to was the oracle at Delphi 35, 40 years ago, almost. I was just a kid, but I was pulled there and I had no reason. I had no agenda. I just had this inner compass. And I hadn't thought about that for the longest time. But what it says at the gate is know thyself. And ultimately everything that brings you here, whatever the motivation, what brings you here is this. This yearning. There's a. There's a void, if you will. There's a place of. Of yearning where we wanted. We want to make contact, we want to connect. And we very understandably, we try to connect to this energy or that information or this event or that dance, because the yearning is so strong. But in fact, I truly believe that the connection we're yearning for is the connection to my spirit, to my true nature. So I'm going to just first invite all of you to take a breath. You know, for all the information that we got this last few days, it was just awesome and incredible. There's a premise underneath all of that that I need to bring to you. And the premise is, you know, to, for example, to take care of your body. But we have to be careful not to slip into thinking that I am defined by my body. Because there are people who are incredibly, incredibly physically Limited for whatever spiritual or karmic reasons of choice on their journey, they're still not limited. So it's optimal to feel good, but it's not who we are. And then we talk about. And I just love what I heard yesterday about I am enough. However, we need to know that the nature of I am enough is only going to work if the I am that is saying I am enough is the I am of my spirit. Because the ego is never enough. The ego will never be smart enough. It will never be handsome enough. It will never have enough hair. It will never be thin enough. It will never be clever enough. The ego will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be enough. Because by its nature, it's not who we are. So when we say I am enough, let the emphasis be on I am. And breathe. Okay, so now what I would like to invite you to do is to share a breath with one another. So turn to the person next to you and share a breath. Okay. Okay, so I want to share with you what I see from up here. Or. Or my favorite is the looming grab on that's not normal. So let's try to share a breath that's just relaxed that in my body, there is a heartbeat, and that heartbeat is who I am. Without that heartbeat, there is no animation. There is no party. Without that heartbeat, there is only inertia. There's death. So turn to the person next to you and share a breath that really is not jumping over there, but giving you room to breathe in here and meet them at that breath that we share. So try that and don't try too hard, because looming feels weird. So just relax and in fact, do a favor and give them a smile, because it feels really weird for someone to be staring at you, really somber, pretending we're both breathing. So, okay, so, ah. And now share breath. And say ah. And move around a little bit. Mwah. Now, so what are we gonna do? How are we gonna encapsulate and embody all of these experiences that we just had so we don't lose them? And I believe that it goes back to what I was guided to share about the Oracle of Delphi? Let's start with know thyself. So the first thing, I want to invite everybody to put on a little tool belt. Come on, look to the person next to you giving you stink eye. And go, everybody. And I'm going to give you a couple tools for the road. So the first tool is to breathe, because the breath is who you are. So breathe in. Open your jaw until you hear a click and notice how that breath drops in even more deeply. Relax. Give up control. Take the risk. Ah. Move around a little bit. Now the second thing I want you to do is I want you to feel the vibration in the room. What do you feel? Love, excitement, energy, Expectation. Well, here's what I feel, that the minute I ask you to notice the vibration, everyone stop breathing. So now let's take a breath and pay attention to the energy. And not come up with thoughts and ideas, but really feel the experience. Because the thing that's going to really shift our dynamic, that's going to change the Matrix is if we actually can allow our minds to drop their defenses and to actually lean in fearlessly to have a real connection first with your own breath, with life, with this world, with the people around you, to really have a connection. Because the only way we're really going to biohack anything is if there's a breath in there that gives you the word bio life. So breathe in. Ah. And can you feel the energy? It's not really that light, is it? It's kind of tired, It's a little heavy. Like I want to take a nap, I'm saturated. That's the real energy going on. That's normal. That is mental energy. So I want you to notice that because mental energy has a signature, has a frequency, it's kind of straight line energy, it's kind of compartmentalized. It's an energy that's trying to organize things. And you notice how when you're in that mental energy, there's not a lot of breath. So just breathe again. So now what I'd like to do is I'd like to teach you the difference between mental energy and the energy of your spirit. And the way to do that is I'm going to ask you if you're up for a few experiences because they don't want to give you any more information. Are you up for some experiences? Okay. All 40 of you, yay. So I'm gonna first ask you something that we're not rarely asked. But if you truly want to live that magical life, if you truly want to make that contact with your spirit and with the essence of life, this is something you're gonna have to do. And you can't fake it because we feel it. You're gonna have to put two feet in and play full out 100%. So are you willing to do that for the next few four or five minutes? We've lost about 20 in the last minute. So think about the part of you, that's like, I don't know. I'm kind of bored. I'm saturated, I'm done. No, thanks. But what if you actually did say, oh, I'll try it. I'll give it a go. When's the last time you were actually asked to put two feet in? Actually asked. And you did it without faking or relying on the person next to you as the group cheerleader to do it for you. You really just did it because you're showing up for you. I mean, God knows you came all this way, you paid all this money. You've been on that boat, you did all those things. So why don't you show up this time to the moment? So are you willing? We're doing better. Feel the vibration. So I'm going to ask for 100%. Not for me, because I don't need it. It's not between you and I. It's between you and you. But here's the thing we don't talk about enough, but it's very true, is that though you come together, though we all come together by divine appointment, and we're all in the energy of this room together, we as a group can only shift our consciousness to the degree of the person holding back, because we're sentient beings and we resonate. So you need to turn to the person next to you and say, I went to a lot of trouble to be here, so that better not be you. Okay, so full out, Are we ready? Full out. Is that 100%? Okay, good. Stand up. Everybody stand up. Okay, so I have a couple tools I want to give you, and we're going to have to go through them very quickly. I need three visual aids. Three visual aids. Three people who didn't get anything this weekend, please come on up here. Three people were afraid they're going to lose everything that they got. Please come up here. Three people who wish they could take it even further. Thank you. Come up here. Come on. And there. And one man. Come on. All right, five visual aids. Come on up. Okay, ten visual aids. Okay, the first thing we're going to do, this is an exercise I call the Breath of Life. I did it in Puerto Vallarta. And I'll do it again. Takes 3 minutes, 40 seconds. The first minute we do it, you're going to think, okay, this is fun. More dancing. The second minute we do it, you're going to think, okay, I've had enough dancing. Let's just sit down. I don't want to miss anything. The third minute we're Going to do it. You're going to go, screw you. I'm over it. Let's just stop it. And then something's gonna flip. So what I want you to do is everybody raise your hands above your head, open your jaw like a baby bird opening to get the worm in the morning. And go. And then pull your arms down and go. Ha. Okay. That's your basic move. Now, every few seconds, we're gonna do this for three minutes and 40 seconds, because that's how long it takes to change a brain pattern. So the first minute, you're going to start jumping from the left brain to the right brain, and the two hemispheres are going to start talking to each other. The next minute, the left and right brain are going to finally decide they're not going to argue anymore and they're going to get into harmony and they're going to start talking to the heart. Then in the second minute, the head and the heart are going to start talking, and they're going to argue for just a minute or two of who's going to be in charge. And then the heart's going to overwhelm the head because the heart is a more powerful vibration. So the heart and the head are going to get into a conversation. The third minute, the heart's going to take over. The head's going to be confused for a minute. It's not going to know where to go because it's used to being in charge. But then it's going to figure out that I kind of like this. And then the last 40 seconds. Boom. Your heart consciousness harmonizes with your left and right brain, and the intelligence of every single cell in your body starts waking up. So to do this for 3 minutes and 45 seconds, at the end of the day, when you're tired, we need a little inspiration. So I wrote a script song that just happens to be 3 minutes and 40 seconds long that you can download for free on my website. It's called Love youe life. So, Jason, Mr. Music. We need some volume on it and our visual aids. Pull your hands up. Feel it. Feel it. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Breathe. Breathe. Ah. Ah. Breathe in. Put one hand on your heart. Put one hand on your belly. Ah. Breathe in through the nose. Ah. Turn to the person next to you. Share a breath and feel the vibration. Ah. Sh. Feel the vibration. This is the perfect conditions in which to create. The mind is quiet. We heard that our. Our body's the dog. We took our dog for a run. Ah. It's quiet. You can feel your heart Beating, that's your power. Ah. Ah. And you're completely present. So these are the conditions in which to ask, to partner, to connect with your spirit and the spirit of those we share, the spirit of life. Ask the universe for what you need to grow, to learn, to be supported. Breathe in. And if you can't think of anything right now, it's because you are connected. You're not feeling locked out, you're not feeling separated. So just say to the universe, surprise me. Just surprise me. Ah. Okay. Thank you. Visual aids. Everybody have a seat. Thank you. Visual aids. 3 minutes and 40 seconds. But the thing is, what we're doing is you're moving your body and you're flooding it with breath and you're overriding your mind. So now what I want to do next is have each person turn to the person next to you and just in, like, less than one minute, tell them who you are. Please don't tell them what you do. They've heard it anyway. Every version, I'm sure. But tell them who you are. I know who I am. And share that with someone. For until I say sh. And breathe. Ah. Can you feel the energy in the room? Does it feel any different? Can you feel that there is a distinct frequency shift when we begin to move into our heart? Energy. And to know thyself, to know who you are, that is a huge tool. So tool number one, breathe. Tool number two, move. But you want to move yourself out of an old paradigm, and that old paradigm is your left brain. I call that the bad neighborhood. Nothing good happens there. When you breathe, when you move, when you dance, when you sing, what you're doing is you're inviting your spirit to come into your body. And it is a spirit in you that is intuitive. It is the spirit in you that connects. It is the spirit in you that is the genius. It is the spirit in you that is the healer. It is the spirit in you. Einstein said it best. The human spirit is our sacred gift and the rational mind its faithful servant. But sadly, we have thrown away the gift and we've become enslaved to the servant. Breathe. To truly, truly, truly, truly. Transform is when you decide that you no longer need to go and check with science to be a genius, that you don't have to go check with the experts to follow your heart. We love them. They are our servants. The servant to the spirit. We put those aspects of our nature to work. But that true leap is when you no longer put your intuition into parentheses. I listen. Ah. The weirdest thing happened. You know, I love by the way, the definition of the word weird, it means out of this world. And that's what we're from, out of this world. The third tool is know thyself. But the self you want to know is your spirit. Not your story, not your backstory, not your great huge genius plans, but your essence. I am courageous. I lean in. I'm a lover. I'm gentle. I'm a fire walker. I'm a dragon. I'm a hummingbird. I'm a fire starter. I calm. Know yourself. And when you truly, truly, truly know yourself, your true self, then you're free to get over yourself and begin to turn your attention on knowing everyone else at a deep level. At a level of we, the ego. You can always tell the ego. It has signatures. The most powerful is it self selects out me against you. And you scare me, so I have to manage you over here. Where's the energy to listen to your intuition, let alone follow it if you're spending all your time managing your anxiety? The spirit is me and you. We share the breath. There is no them. There is just us. We're not special, but we are spatial. We travel beyond the edges. And when you know yourself so well that you can fall in love, fall into yourself, leap in. I've shared this with Vishen. Intuition is not a leap of faith out. It's a leap of faith back in. It's coming home. It's coming to that place where my heart is not separate. My wisdom is reliable. My vibes are what are true for me right now. That's real power. The power to be so comfortable with who you are. You don't need someone else or something else to give you permission to be who you are. That takes courage to follow that inner vibe. Not one of you in this room has not shown up. Because without some huge influence of intuition to move you here, you might think it's because there's finally a party you're invited to. But something deeper came through. Your spirit brought you here, your inner teacher. And if you can leave trusting that inner teacher, really trusting that inner teacher, then everything you've learned will keep tumbling in as the sacred servant helping you. But if you go away doubting the I am in you, you'll forget. You'll forget what you've learned. It'll be like eggs on Teflon. It'll slide right off. If you trust, you don't need the notes. If you trust, you don't need to remember because you feel it energetically in your body. So when you reach for Something to eat, you'll feel, is this good for me or not? When you meet someone, you'll feel, are we connecting or are they afraid? And how can I make them less afraid? What can I do to let them know I see them? Vishen talked about how we want approval and we want to be seen. Boy, that is the meaning of healing. I want to be seen, but I don't just want to be seen, like, pay attention. I want to be seen accurately. And so with that, everybody who has the power to see accurately. I see you. I see you. And you know the word psychic, it's like the buzzword we don't say. I love that word because it's cuts right through. And what it implies is, I see you. But what people don't realize is, and you're beautiful. You are absolutely magnificent. And when you have those eyes and you look at people, that's called clairvoyance. When you listen with your heart to another's essence, to the heartbeat of the universe, that's called clairaudience. And when you touch someone's hand and the energy is coming from your heart and you care, not care. Take, but just recognize the spirit of grace that they embody. That is clairsentience. And when you're dancing like mad and all the energy comes in, that is called divine knowing. It's how we're hardwired so we don't have to remember notes. We just have to remember our breath. We just have to remember to breathe. And when the spirit is in your body, there's some signatures. Always, there's a light in your eyes. Look at the light in each other right now. Always. The second signature is there's always a little smile on your lips because the spirit is joyful and unafraid. And the third thing is, there's always a little wiggle in your hips. And the reason for that is because intuition is a force that moves you. How movable are you? If you have no light, tight lips and a tight butt, you're not going to get anywhere, Sam.
