Rev Rachel Harrison: 0:00

For today's episode. I am excited to bring back a really special guest. This is Christine Lang. Christine is a gifted medical, intuitive, spirit channel healer and now the author of Ask your Spirit, receiving life-changing wisdom from your elevated intelligence, and for over 25 years she's helped people connect to the voice of their spirit for healing, clarity and guidance, and in this episode we're going to dive into how you can access the same wisdom for yourself. This conversation is soulful, grounded and full of insight for anybody ready to deepen their soul recovery journey and trust the guidance of something even greater still and the guidance from within. Let's get started.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 0:42

Welcome to the Recover your Soul podcast a spiritual path to a happy and healthy life. My name is Reverend Rachel Harrison. I started Recover your Soul after having profound changes in my life from my recovery of alcoholism, codependency and control addiction. I was guided to share the tools and principles of spirituality and soul recovery to help others transform their lives, as mine was transformed. For us to overcome external circumstances, we need to turn the attention to ourselves, focusing on our inner change and healing. Positive results in our lives will follow.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 1:22

Welcome to Recover your Soul. I'm Rev Rachel and I am honored and privileged to have a repeat guest on. I have the amazing Christine Lang visiting me again. We had our first conversation it's been almost exactly a year ago, which is really amazing, and in that year I have become one of her students. I attend her monthly workshops whenever it works out for me, and really enjoy what she has to offer on the socials. And then I had the privilege of being offered a pre-copy of Ask your Spirit, receiving life-changing wisdom from your elevated intelligence, and I loved it. So I am just so honored to have you here with me today.

Christing Lang: 2:03

Oh, thanks for having me back. I'm so glad that you got a copy of the book and had time to read it. That's great.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 2:08

You know I get a lot of copies of books of people who come on and I kind of you know, thumb through them and try to get something. But I was just so excited to actually get your book and to read it from cover to cover and enjoy it and everything that it has to offer, so I'm ready to dig in and talk more about it, because it has so much to offer everybody.

Christing Lang: 2:28

Thank you, thank you. I always say I wrote the book with the idea of putting myself out of business. So last year I opened up my calendar and in two days booked out for the whole year and went oh, dear, dear, dear, dear. Now what? And people were getting frustrated, they couldn't get in. And now what? And people were getting frustrated, they couldn't get in. And I said, okay, my spirit said it's time to write this book and stop fishing for people and teach people how to fish. And then let them have the conversations with their spirit. And you know, it takes a while to get to a certain skill level, but people are amazed that. So how quickly, within a couple of days they're like I got a message, I got an answer from my spirit, and that's just the miraculous right. If you're not used to hearing from your spirit, it's. I think it's an honor.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 3:07

I think that's the gift that we're giving. Is that we're we don't see people as broken in the first place. We're really recognizing their wholeness and want to give them whatever tools that they can access that we've accessed to show them how they, too, can access that inside themselves.

Christing Lang: 3:21

Yeah, yeah, and so many clients will come to me for a private session thinking that they're broken or that their spirit has the one answer to fix them and what I really try to encourage them to see it as your spirit wants to collaborate with you to live this fully expanded life every single day, all the big decisions, all I mean. Nobody has your back like your spirit. Your spirit is your best life coach, health coach, career coach, relationship coach. She's invested in the same things you are, and having you be success and really tap into the universe's abundance gets her excited.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 3:56

First, I just want to say I'm going to put in the show notes the conversation that we had a year ago, because I don't really want to repeat some of the stuff that we talked about last year, but I want them to have access to it because it's such a good foundation of who you are, how you got to what you're interested in. You started as an intuitive health medical coach and healer and how that's progressed on. So I just want to put that in a little capsule so that people say, okay, go to the show notes, look at that YouTube channel. What I want you to address right now for those who are saying, okay, well, what is the spirit? What is this intelligence, this aspect of myself? How do you define what that spirit is?

Christing Lang: 4:40

I say that a piece of you that chose to incarnate is your soul, and your soul comes here for many reasons, but one of the primary reasons is to experience being a creator, get to manifest things. One of the issues the soul has is it wants for nothing. It came from the spirit world where everything is pure love and joy. And so it gets here and says I don't really care if I have a blue car or a green car, I don't really care. And so we are each gifted an ego mind. It's like a blank hard drive and we choose the parents we're going to incarnate to because of how they're going to program it on topics like money and race and sexuality and all the things. And that ego mind keeps us safe. You know, don't touch the hot burner, don't step in front of the bus. But it also helps us create preferences. The ego compares and contrasts and chooses. So you know if you like silver and white cars better than black and tan cars, and you know that you like two-story houses better than one-story houses. And so your spirit is the combination of your soul and your ego mind, and I would say this is a rough estimate, of course, but my guides tell me that your spirit is 80% soul, 20% ego, mind, so that it has some preferences, it has some things to pursue. And why that ratio is important is that your spirit's wisdom is so much more vast than your mind's wisdom will ever be. And yet your spirit also knows what you're really hoping to create.

Christing Lang: 6:02

You really want to end up living in Florida. You really want to end up running a dog sanctuary. You really want to end up living in Florida. You really want to end up running a dog sanctuary. You really want to have these things. And then your spirit goes okay, let's move you in that direction, right, unless it's going to somehow thwart your soul's expansion. If winning the lottery is going to thwart your journey, your spirit's not going to join it and give you the winning lottery numbers. But if it's not going to impede your soul's journey, your spirit's all in and it's going to give you the best steps to accomplish and manifest the things you want to manifest.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 6:30

I love that because I think a lot about our guides and the Akashic records, and the more we go into the woo, the more you actually allow yourself to move into this place. That is unlimited, and how people talk about it and what terminology people are using. Ultimately, it's about getting clarity so that you can have clarity right and it doesn't have to be the thing. It's so that you can figure out how you can get that part of yourself more aligned to be able to access whatever those things are for whatever they are.

Christing Lang: 7:09

Yeah, whatever the things you're interested in If you're interested in Akashic Records or studying mediumship or developing your certain skills in certain ways there's sort of this information energy field that we're all swimming in. It's like we're goldfish in the goldfish bowl, right? That sea of information that is around us, it's how you tap into it. But your spirit is always plugged into it, just the same way your soul is. So when you start having conversations directly with your spirit, you're plugged into whatever you want to be able to do.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 7:38

And in the book the beginning of the book is right to it it's like here's the skills, here's the tools, here's the skills, here's the tools, here's the meditation, here's the steps, here's how to access your spirit. And it's not like some wild, difficult, crazy experience. It's really. I love how approachable those tools are.

Christing Lang: 8:05

Oh, thanks. I think from being a lawyer, I'm super pragmatic and everything has to really yield results, even when I'm teaching my intuitive energy healing, which is like Reiki but a little stronger. When I'm teaching energy healing I'm like I want to teach you how to like kill the bacteria and virus in the public toilet that you go to Like. I need this to have real world experience, not just be airy fairy, feel good, right, I mean I need to help you set that broken bone. I need to help you heal yourself from COVID faster.

Christing Lang: 8:28

It's not just about the. Let me tell you about a past lifetime that you really can't verify anyway. Those are nice and sometimes those pieces of information come in. But I am really about pragmatic, direct results, and so I always say the first third of the book is like me handing your spirit cell phone number and telling you how to listen when she picks up the phone so that you have that. And then the second two thirds of the book each chapter is about the different kinds of questions people always want to ask their spirit and how to frame the questions so you get the best answers.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 8:56

Yeah which I thought was great, because I think sometimes that's just what we need is we need someone to give us the words and then the words become more natural for us to give ourselves.

Christing Lang: 9:07

Yeah, just like in AI, if you have a better prompt you get a better result. There's all these courses now on how to use AI and this is sort of that second two-thirds of the book I call the relationship manual. It's like now you have this relationship with your spirit. How do you get to answer your questions? And when people come to me and say I asked my spirit this but she wouldn't answer, then I know it's in how they frame the question. Not that there's a certain bit of magic words, but if you, if you frame the question in such a way that you only give your spirit two options should I buy this house or this house? And there's really a third house she wants you to look at because that's your dream house. You just haven't seen it yet. She's not going to answer. If it means distort, giving you this distorted, incorrect answer, she just won't Right. So, understanding how to frame your question of what can you tell me about these two houses?

Rev Rachel Harrison: 9:54

that would yield the answer Right. So if somebody is thinking, oh good, now I can have access to something that can A foresee the future, can have access to something that can A foresee the future. B is bringing me everything that my wildest dreams wants for the perfect life.

Christing Lang: 10:13

What would you say? I would say yeah, but there's exceptions. Your spirit won't tell you the future if it alters your present in the incorrect way. In other words, people will say to me well, I'm thinking of moving to Texas, but I might end up in Seattle, because that's where my siblings live, and ask my spirit if I'm going to end up in Seattle and her spirit might say no, because if I tell her, yes, she's going to cut out Texas and she's just going to go straight to Seattle, and in Texas she's going to meet her next business partner. So she actually needs to go there. So I'm not going to tell her, yes, you're going to end up in Seattle. I'm going to say ask me what your next step is, and your next step is move to Texas. So you will be given access to the amount of future information that enhances and validates what works for you right now.

Christing Lang: 10:56

Curiosity just says, but I just want to know all the things. But it's like if I met you when you were four or five and you said tell me what I'm going to get for Christmas every year, I wouldn't tell you because, even if I knew, because it would ruin it right, there's no real benefit, it's just satisfying your momentary curiosity. And then when you're eight you're like, oh yeah, this year I get a bike. Oh yeah, this year I get roller skates. Right, I really would have ruined it just to satisfy that temporary curiosity of yours, but there's always changes and shifts that are happening anyway.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 11:22

So it's not like your spirit could even give you the gifts that you're going to get for every Christmas, because at every moment there's a shift in timelines, there's a shift in what we choose, where we were always in transformation. So I think one of the things I got from your book that I thought was really powerful was that awareness that this isn't like future telling. It's really in this present moment, right now, what is in your soul's greatest expansion, and sometimes that isn't to have everything go well.

Christing Lang: 11:56

Right, right, I mean, very rarely do we wake up and say everything in my life feels great, I think I'll do something drastically different. No way we're going to do everything the same, right? So, unfortunately, a lot of times when we need a big pivot, it comes through discomfort. So, yeah, your spirit isn't going to tip you off to things that, quote, ruin your journey, right? But in terms of future information or manifesting your wildest dreams, your spirit's all in for manifesting the universe's abundance, as long as it doesn't pull you off track of something.

Christing Lang: 12:26

So, for instance, when I first started hearing my spirit, I said okay, tell me the winning lottery numbers. And she said no. And I said why? And she said if you won the lottery tomorrow, would you keep seeing this many clients? I said well, no, I'd cut back. She goes exactly Okay. Okay, I started bargaining. Okay, I'll see as many clients. She's like, no, you won't, I believe in you. Right, and I get it Right, and I have lots of abundance coming in and she's helped me create lots of revenue streams. And that's actually more validating than if she just handed me the winning lottery number, right, because now I'm partnering with the universe every day, so I didn't get my immediate ego wish, but I actually got something that's given me more faith, more collaborative experiences and all these great opportunities to work with people and witness their aha moments, when their spirit explains something to them.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 13:10

Tell me more about that journey of being able to hear and listen to that voice and, for somebody who might be new on the path, what that might look like, what that might feel like.

Back to the episode.

Christing Lang: 15:27

Yeah, I mean I my first career. I was a lawyer and I developed allergies in my second year of law school, so I was certainly not on a woo-woo path at all and in searching for a cure for my allergies, started studying yoga and Tai Chi and Buddhism, trying to just mitigate my stress, and started studying Reiki or energy healing and homeopathic remedies all these things just to start treating myself and my symptoms. And I learned that if I offered a friend an energy treatment and I said let me come home and take off my lawyer suit and sit and meditate to change channels in my brain, that I would just sort of know things that I had no way of knowing and I didn't know how I knew them, and it just sort of came into my body as a knowing, like I don't know why, I just know this thing. And I shared it with whatever friend I was giving energy to and they'd say oh my God, that's true, nobody knows that. How do you know that? I'm like, how do I know that? And I realized I was tapping into this universal field of information.

Christing Lang: 16:25

And after it happened two or three times, my friend said well, who are you talking to? Where are you getting this information. And when she left, I sat in my meditation chair and raised my energy up and said you know who am I speaking with? And my spirit said welcome home. And tears are streaming down my face. And tears are streaming down my face and she's like this is who you came here to be, get ready.

Christing Lang: 16:43

And she started telling me you're primarily clairaudience, so you're hearing, but a lot of people are gonna be clairvoyant and they're gonna get visuals or clairsentient and they're gonna feel the information like you did the first couple of times. I did in my body and, in truth, what I've learned is your spirit's gonna send you all three types of messages. She and, in truth, what I've learned is your spirit's going to send you all three types of messages, which is to watch and see which one you pick up on the fastest and which one you take the most seriously. So we all tend to discount things. So I might be like, well, I thought I felt that in my body, but I think I was making that up. But when I see a visual, I really take it seriously. Or when I hear something, I take that more seriously. So your spirit just collaborates with you to say, okay, this seems to be the best avenue to bring you information.

Christing Lang: 17:31

But when you start getting messages from your spirit, I would say, be open to all of it, because when you can get multiples like that, it strengthens it right. If somebody gets a visual and they go, I don't know, I saw a brown sofa that doesn't mean anything and I'm like, okay, go back to. How did it feel when it came in and was there music in the background? Like, oh my God, there was, it was a song. And then we put the sofa and the word together oh, I know what that's talking about, right. And then they put the message together and then the spirit's like okay, now she knows, that's a way I can get messages to her. So we just sort of build this languaging system, like you're building language with a toddler or with your dog or cat, of like, okay, here's how they understand this, here's how we understand each other on this one. And it just it gets bigger and bigger in terms of a vocabulary.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 18:08

It is amazing how, when you just tap into those inner knowings or those voices just a little bit and start to trust it, you know that it starts to move deeper and deeper and deeper. And I think about gosh. When I started my soul recovery journey seven years ago, I had been spiritual my whole life raised Buddhist, went to a unity church, did all those things, but I was in the throes of sort of the despair of my life and all the complications. It was like it was too busy, too loud, too chaotic, too painful, and when I decided to have something different, then it began to speak to me. Actually, I started to listen because I'm sure it was there the whole time, and, and one of the things that's come is that it can be auditory and it can be the images, and I think I didn't pay attention to the images before, but when, now that I have more information on it, it comes more clearly. But you talk.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 19:12

One of the things I love about your book is that you use a lot of stories of other people and your clients and you know so it's real world like. Oh, I relate to that. That just sounds familiar, and that this guidance that we're getting again, not for it to be easy but for us to have our greatest soul's potential of learning and growth. So I guess I want for the soul recovery community to really hear how they can use this to be their cell, you know, on speed dial, to to manage Cause most of the people that come to this community are in the middle of some pretty hard stuff.

Christing Lang: 19:59

Yeah.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 20:00

And so how this can be a resource to them to be able to get through that.

Christing Lang: 20:05

Well, some of my favorite questions that people in your community can ask their spirit are things like what untruth am I still telling about myself? Or how have I healed and I haven't given myself credit for it, or what's a shift in me that I'm not noticing? Those sorts of you know it's small steps every day that we lose track of, just like when we're a kid and we don't think we're growing. And then our relatives he's like oh my God, you're like a foot taller and you're like, no, I'm the same, right. So we tend to not see that in a day by day basis, but your spirit can be really good at helping you.

Christing Lang: 20:41

Like, sometimes my spirit will say remember last year when you were so worried this wouldn't happen, and now look where you are. Now I'm like, oh wow, I forgot I even had that concern, I forgot I even had that insecurity, because it's been so long and I try to be very present moment, and that's good, but the bad part of it is I do lose track of progress and then I don't give myself credit for it, just always. Well, I got to do this still and I still have to do this and this and this, and I'm always eyes ahead and I think our spirits are really good at saying you know, you still let that comment your dad made when you were nine. You're still letting it guide you right here. I'm like, oh wow, I really am right. So to have your spirit be that sort of a life coach for you and a spiritual coach for you, I just think it doesn't get any better than that in terms of really deep, soul-stirring help and assistance and guidance and I ask those questions at least once a month of my spirit.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 21:35

And it continues to deepen and give you more information.

Christing Lang: 21:38

Yeah, yeah. You know the last three years of just writing this book and taking all this on and really doubling my business and kind of expanding it out in terms of programs I offer and things. I keep laughing going. If I didn't know it was going to be this much work, I never would have said yes when my spirit suggested it. She chuckles and goes.

Christing Lang: 21:55

That's why you didn't know right, I made sure of that because I knew you could do it and you didn't think you could, and she was right. And there were just several things of writing the book and then getting it purchased by a big publisher, and all the different things, all the hoops you jumped through like I'm a circus poodle, right, doing all these things. And now I look back and go, oh, I have the confidence that if I choose to do that again, I know I can and that's invaluable. And if she had just told me, oh, by the way, it's going to be really hard, but you can do it, I would have been like, yeah, I think I'm good where I am, and so to have your spirit reflect back to you, the level and depth of your growth and your understanding of yourself and areas that you've healed in, is huge, and there's a lot of them. I don't really track or I don't notice until she explores with me here's how your insecurity used to hold you back in these kind of dynamics, or here's where you weren't really confronting somebody on your team because of this reaction and that reminded you of your mom's reaction as a kid or something. And I'd be like you're right, and then she'll coach me through a way to do it.

Christing Lang: 22:59

And so then, those areas of growth we get to experience so in the raw and really feel blessed by you know, talk therapy is great, but having your spirit be able to pinpoint specific moments that are a hinge for you, right, that limit you in some way and help you step past them and heal it. There's a chapter in the book about labels we were given as kids that probably were innocently done right. Oh, you're the funny one in the family, or you're the troubled one, or you're the overly sensitive one, and how we may think. We've outgrown them, but we're still trying to prove them right or prove them wrong, subconsciously. And once you start seeing that you can't not see it and you're like, oh, I'm not doing that anymore, so things seeing that you can't not see it and you're like, oh, I'm not doing that anymore, so things like that, I just think your spirit's guidance is so powerful.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 23:47

You know, what I love about that is, that is, the soul recovery process, which is to begin to look at those things. And as you're talking, I'm thinking about how, over the years, I've used writing as my way to process out and I often tell the story about how, like my old journals are just filled with me complaining, but now my journals are filled with guidance and wisdom and awareness. And that's my spirit, that's me conversing with my spirit, and those moments of contemplation and attention to myself have brought such profound healing. And it's not about talking to the person or having them get what I'm trying to say. It's all an internal guidance of being willing to look at these things. And they're not. It's not like it is a magic fairy dust that goes over you and then all of a sudden, it doesn't exist, or it's not like it is a magic fairy dust that goes over you and then, all of a sudden, it doesn't exist or it's not painful anymore, Right, but I would say how I would describe what the change, the transformation you're talking about is.

Christing Lang: 24:52

Also that in the beginning, your journals were about complaining, because we all fall into what I call the victim pit, where we want to tell the story of ain't it awful and isn't it unfair? Here's how the universe is unfair. I should have never gotten fired and this should have never happened. And that person should do more work at work instead of putting on my plate. And we tell the story of how things are unfair. And when we start making the shift and the growth that you did, we start looking for where's the learning, where's the silver lining for me? How can this work for me? What can be shown to me? And we go from critical to curious. Yes, that opens up the space for your spirit to start participating in the conversation with you In your earlier journals. It's all projecting out. It's like a fire hose. Let me tell you how bad it is right and how unfair it is. And when you get contemplative, it's much more of a flow and then a give and receive.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 25:48

Yes, yes, and then what I think is so amazing is that the more I do it for myself and then I watch other people that I've been coaching have these experiences, the healings and transformations are so deep and so profound and so beautiful, and that's what I'm like, that's why we're here. That's why we're here is to have this wild challenge experience right and, in the end, to remember who we came here to be.

Christing Lang: 26:17

I love the book illusions by Richard Bach where he said argue for your limitations and sure enough they are yours. So when we're arguing for how, how unfair it is and how bad it is, that's really all we can see, because we are like that fire hose building the evidence pile of how the universe is unfair. And you know, it's kind of like our ego is almost like a toddler having a tantrum and the universe just kind of sits and goes okay, let me know when you're done, when you're over yourself, right, and then we get bored with that, hopefully, and then we start getting curious and open to maybe there's another way to look at this.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 26:50

And, when we look at it, different. Everything, everything's right there, everything's right there, and I think that the amount of energy we're putting in that tantrum of being, I don't like the world how it's shown up for me. You're giving your power away.

Christing Lang: 27:04

Right. Well, and when we're saying this is how the world should be, if it was fair. When I first started hearing my spirit, she goes well, that's you this Tuesday, and what you think is fair. By next week you will think a slightly different version is fair, and every other ego has their own definition of what's fair. There's no way for the universe to satisfy everybody's definition, so it's actually going by a higher definition of fairness, which is every soul gets to experience what it has requested of the universe to experience.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 27:36

So I believe that and I think that that can be very difficult for somebody who's just my community, who has somebody, who's parents or something in addiction or like that, something you know horrible is happening, and I think I may have mentioned this in the in our other podcast, um or other conversation was some point. Someone said you know you, you chose rich for a reason. You know my husband and all the 10 or 15 years that we had of complications, I just thought to myself, well, that's crap. But now I totally see it. But when, when you are in the middle of something that hurts so much for someone to say to you on some level, you chose this.

Christing Lang: 28:19

It's hard, yeah, and it feels like it feels cold. Right, let me. Let me offer some other tidbits. So I think it's really important.

Christing Lang: 28:27

When I first started studying, like Abraham Hicks and you know, law of creation, I really struggled with well, you can't tell me, this two-year-old who has cancer started thinking I think I'm going to have cancer. There's too many things that didn't make sense. And so when I started hearing my spirit, one of the things she explained to me early on is, roughly and again, big, roughly, roughly, 50% of what happens to you, your soul chose before you incarnated and the other 50% is your ego gets to choose, choosing the blue car versus the brown car. And if the blue car tends to be, you know, kind of a clunker, that's not your soul going. I really want a clunker car, right. It's just, we get free will, both of our soul and our ego mind. And so how you're going to react when somebody bumps into you with their shopping cart in the grocery store, that's not a soul journey, right, that's a free will.

Christing Lang: 29:15

But the major things I got in that car accident, I chose a parent who is an alcoholic. The big, big decisions and events, those are soul chosen, knowing that, okay, I'm going to choose this person as my dad and this person as my mom, knowing there's a good chance he could be an alcoholic. I'm seeing the things he's choosing and I just suspect. But I still think it's going to be really powerful learning for me to have a healing journey and that's the script I want to write for myself for my healing journey.

Christing Lang: 29:45

Does that mean it'll be painful? Absolutely. How you entered the world through a birth canal was painful. Right, we are definitely not choosing the smooth and easy path, for sure, but those big events that we tend to choose cancer, car accidents, things like that those are soul chosen for the opportunities that they bring. And so many clients hear me say that on podcasts and they'll come say, okay, tell me how my soul chose this. That seems awful. I've never had one yet that didn't leave the session going. Oh wow, I see the beauty in that. It doesn't mean I enjoyed it, but I really I get the perfection.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 30:19

I think that the beauty of that concept gives us so much more strength and ability to really look at our lives from a new lens. Like you can either choose to see it and be a victim, or you can choose to see it and be a hero, and ultimately, there's only two choices it's love or fear. So to move into a place where I can look at everything that happened in my life or you know the parents that I chose, or the situation, or you know whatever it is when I see it from the lens of like, well, what am I going to do about it? How are you going to see it? How are you going to show up for it? What are you? How are you going to expand from it?

Rev Rachel Harrison: 30:54

If you have someone's putting you down, instead of saying, oh, they think that I'm terrible, I'm like, oh, really, just wait. And that's like oh, it's actually motivation for me to really thrive and I look at you, know, I look at you and some of the other new thought leaders that I really respect, and it's given me so much strength to go out in the world and to excel and to want to be on that same path too, versus somebody who could be like oh, I could never be like that, or they're the lucky ones, or every day we choose, we choose and our spirit wants for us. That's why the access to the spirit Cause as soon as I fall into the pity party place, she comes and she says oh honey, yeah, I see you, but that's not what we're here for. And I'm so grateful for that voice.

Christing Lang: 31:45

Absolutely. And when I was first starting to play in this realm of a major one of the top five publishers, I was their tiny, tiny person. I'm not the million dollar author with 10 bestsellers, none of that. So I was kind of treated accordingly by some in the industry of like, oh you know, brush her off to the side, we don't have much. And for a few weeks I bought into that and I felt really small and insignificant and my spirit said this book has its own karma, it has its own path and its own journey of who it's supposed to reach.

Christing Lang: 32:17

You really think we won't get it in front of the people it's supposed to be in front of. You do your part, we'll do ours. Don't worry about how big the numbers are, what your reputation is, what this reputation is. Keep your nose on your journey. And that really helped me feel lit up, like this is my purpose. I'm not competing, I'm not going to compare.

Christing Lang: 32:37

And since then I've really like I unfollow people on social media who I probably should be following, who are in this space but who are all about like well, I've known since I was five. I was special and this is who I came here to be. I'm like anything that feels like I can never get there because you're so amazing. That's not my message, right? I don't buy that. I think everybody has the potential to be who they came here to be, and your soul has a vested interest in you accomplishing your mission, and not much is going to stop it. So that's what I want people to anchor into. Is you know what's going to lead me to purpose and fulfillment? Because it's part of my soul's journey and that's what's going to light you up inside.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 33:14

I have the exact same mission for the people that I am so honored to be in their lives, and it's reminded me every day that I have to live it and feel it too, you know. So it's this circle of gratitude on all levels to access for ourselves, first and foremost, this healing and awareness, and then the gift of giving it, to be able to freely provide people with very clear directions as to how they can access this part to themselves, because everyone has it. This isn't only the special people who can see auras.

Christing Lang: 34:03

Who've been seeing since they were five. It's not that If you're here and you're breathing, you have a soul, which means you have a spirit and your spirit is dying to talk to you.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 34:13

That's fabulous. Well, that's a great little place to close up. We are airing this prior to the launch. The book is available on pre-order. You want to talk a little bit about how to access it and also how to reach you.

Christing Lang: 34:27

The book comes out June 10th, but we're publishing this episode early because there are pre-order giveaways. Rev Rach wants you to have those giveaways. You can order it on my website or Amazon or Books A Million or Barnes Noble wherever you like to order a book. Then just grab your receipt number, go back to my website and put it in the little slot and it'll. If you order one book or two books or three books, you get different gifts and it'll email it straight to you.

Christing Lang: 34:53

So, get the book, but get it now so you can get a little bonus gift as well, and I'm thrilled that people have been saying, oh my God, I love this gift so much. I can't wait for the book. So there's different exercises you can do guided meditations, classes that I've taught, different giveaways, and my website is christinelangorg and you can go there, and there's all kinds of free stuff as well. When you join the email list, there's a free guided meditation where you can figure out a message that a chronic symptom is giving you in your body. There's free guided meditations on the website. There's all kinds of stuff. I'm currently booked out, but I have cancellations a couple times a month and I put them on social media. So follow me on Instagram or Facebook and we put those up. That's the best way to jump in with me. We open up the sessions the private sessions once a quarter, but you can also follow me on social media.

Christing Lang: 35:46

Are you going to continue doing your monthly workshop? I'm rolling out, actually in the next week or two, several different monthly workshops and then I'll do those monthly classes. Your Energy Matters I'll probably do once a quarter, and now I have something that's called the Healers Roundtable, which is anybody who's doing energy healing work and wants to meet. I just want a safe space for people to share. Well, I wonder if I made this up. You know, I put energy in my elbow and it feels better, but did I make it up? Or how come this got better but that didn't? So I've got that going and then after the book comes out which is called Ask your Spirit, we're gonna have an Ask your Spirit Mastermind Group where people can ask those same kind of questions about why did my spirit not answer this question. I wanna be able to give people that follow-up tutorials and answer in live calls. So that'll be another monthly thing. So I'm rolling out new things and trying to see what feels like it helps people the most.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 36:40

That's fabulous and, being somebody who's in this space, we have to have work-life balance. It's this dance of how can I help the most people and also make sure that you have plenty of time for you and your sweetie, who have been seeing on social media, so that's fabulous.

Christing Lang: 36:57

Well, I want people to read the book and get motivated to start asking questions, but then I don't want them to feel like then they, then they're, they're on their own. So that's my goal is to help you feel, whether you're doing energy healing work, whether you're asking your spirit questions about your career and your kids, or you know your aging parents, whatever it is that that I can help you with phraseology so you get the best answers. And even doing group meditations, people get more answers then because I'm holding the energy up for them. So all those sort of things I'm just. This next year is going to be sort of evolving what things help everybody the most, and that's for me. Spiritual humility is not me going. I know what everybody needs. They need this. It's like let's put these things out and see if you guys like them and if you request something else, we'll evolve it right. I've been evolving this practice for the last couple of years to really help people as much as I can in, like I said, the time that I have each day.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 37:53

That's beautiful. Well, I'm honored again to have you here with me and to be part of your circle, and I thank you for everything that you've given me in learning and growing and expanding and also validating a voice that was within me that's been growing and helping me believe that it's real.

Christing Lang: 38:07

So I thank you for that. You're so dead center in the middle of your path. It's kind of unmistakable, right. It's easy to validate that for you and I look at you and you're like glowing with this path right in front of you and you're dead center and it's you're an easy one to validate. Thank you, Christine, I appreciate that You're welcome.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 38:26

Well, I'm excited to see where this leads and how it's going to help the world.

Christing Lang: 38:31

So I just appreciate your time again. Oh, thank you so much, I love our conversations.

Rev Rachel Harrison: 38:34

Me too, until next time, namaste.

Christing Lang: 38:37

Namaste.
