Join us as we meet Birgitta Visser, a soul empowerment coach and light language healer, who shares her transformative journey of self-love and inner healing. Birgitta Visser courageously opens up about her own struggles with self-acceptance, revealing how she turned to powerful healing modalities like psilocybin and ayahuasca to find compassion and self-awareness.

Discover the importance of reaching out for support and the courage it takes to take charge of your own life, recognizing that everyone deserves a brighter existence.

Again, thanks Great to the show.

Speaker 1:

Bajita again, thanks, great, great. So, bajita, like this words, three words filling your cup. I mean, what does it mean to you? I mean, how do we recognize when it's empty?

Speaker 2:

Ah well, to fill our cups with self-love is a necessity, isn't it? If we have nothing to give, if the cup is empty, how can we love others? And so it's really important that we nourish our own soul, and so people will talk about the divine feminine and the divine masculine, and it's really all about balance. You know balance in life. So the feminine is all about the divine and nourishing our soul, and it's so important to nourish our soul. It's not only to give, give, give to other people because we're afraid of getting hurt. No, it's taking care of ourselves first.

Speaker 1:

No, it's taking care of ourselves first. It's really, really important, because if we don't feel comfy within our own skin, how can we be comfortable giving to others? But then again, you know, on Avika we say we meet people that are triggers to us so that we can peel back the layers to eventually learn about self-love and filling our own cup first. Exactly Understood, yeah, so like self-love sounds really really simple, like we often say self-love and all, but why do so many of us struggle with it?

Speaker 2:

If it's so simple, you know, yeah, I know, yeah, I mean, oh, I mean I used to hate myself and, um, my dad always said, you know, when my sister and I were kids, just in front of the mirror and tell yourself that you love yourself. Yeah, what with self-love is so hard in this society? Because we've been, you know, taught to live a certain way, act a certain way, that we've become lost and it's like a deviation. And so we are in this, you know, compulsive arena and our egos are clashing with one another, because that is our perceived identity. That has nothing to do with self-love.

Speaker 2:

And yet, through the art of duality, you know, is how we understand opposites and how we go through our experiences. I mean, many of us go through, you know, traumatic experience or painful experiences, and we land in this discomfort zone, in the land of confusion, as I call it, which is beautiful because, rather than pointing fingers at other people, it's like. It's like, for instance, me holding up a mirror to you and you keep pointing. But they did that to me and they did that to me, and you know you're pointing at yourself, because it's all about taking that responsibility and just accepting where we are. You know at that point in time and just embracing that suffering, for instance, and understanding that and analyzing that and understanding what it is teaching you, rather than remaining in that victimhood. And the journey of life is that referred to a love for ourselves. Once we have that love for ourselves, that unconditional love no judgments, you know, no judgments, just understanding and compassion for one another, it's like we can also give that love to others.

Speaker 1:

Correct, I missed an idea. Yeah, and like I was discussing about the self-love, so how did your personal hardships shape the way that you approach self-healing?

Speaker 2:

Wow, I mean, it took many years. It took many years, avik, and I suffered from something called donkey syndrome, which means I just got the same experiences repackaged time and again in different people. So I mean, I'm still learning about life, but because of all the trauma that I went through as a kid and in my adult you know, my adult life it's forced me to look deep within and I mean I'm learning to love myself. I'm not perfect, you know. I'm human. I'm still, you know, like everyone, everyone else, the spirit having a human experience. Um, you know, and we're all zipped up. Our light is zipped up in this meat suit.

Speaker 2:

Um, but yeah, self-love is, has been a journey, but through healing, through many healing sessions and learning many healing modalities, I've learned so much about myself and I think, even recently, when I did I did psyllabin and San Pedro cactus, which is mushrooms and San Pedro cactus, and after that I did ayahuasca. It was, I mean, with ayahuasca I was puking my guts out, but they did it because I went through something traumatic in the middle of this year, a narcissistic relationship, and actually our experiences are beautiful triggers. And when we see it that way, when we shift our mindset and we view it from a different perspective. You know, life becomes different Because when we work on ourselves it's just really powerful. Because if we remain as we are and we keep moaning you know we keep moaning like a big bad wolf nothing is going to change.

Speaker 2:

So life peeled back even more layers and, like I said, you know it's a continuous journey, but I'm far more resilient and I'm far more understanding of experiences that come my way. It's like my guides always say just sit, sit, silence, breathe. You know, be objective rather than being reactive. And I think that's really important is becoming aware of your thoughts, becoming aware of your actions. Yeah, and that is also self-love. I mean, I pretty much abused myself, you know, because I was always a people pleaser, yeah, and I was like I suffered from the welcome doormat syndrome and I was a continuous punching bag to myself because all I wanted to do was please others, because I didn't think I was good enough, and so, you know, now I look at it differently. But, honestly, self-love really starts with being honest with yourself and just taking accountability for your life and knowing that, regardless of what you're going through, you are worthy of a better life. You are deserving of a better life.

Speaker 1:

You are deserving of a better life. Yeah, exactly, wow, that's great. And also like when we're talking about this, how can someone start building self-love when they have spent years putting others first?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's tough. It's tough, I mean, I had to hit rock bottom. I was several times and it's really looking in our lives and regardless, if you know one of your listeners is stuck in something and they can't see a way out, there is. My dad always used to say Rikita, there's always light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long that tunnel may be. But again, reach out to somebody if you know that you do not want to continue as you are. Yeah, and reach out to someone, find a healer, find whatever aligns with your spirit. Yeah, it doesn't matter how you heal, as long as it aligns with your spirit.

Speaker 2:

But again, as I said earlier, you are worthy and deserving of a better life and that's why it's when we shift our mindset, we shift that energy, yeah, rather than remaining in that energy where we are. So what a dis-ease with it within ourselves that it bleeds into our physical, our mental and into our environment. You know, because we're energy. So what we vibe out is exactly what we, you know, reel back in. So, just yeah, on the journey of self-love, it's all about evaluating or, you know, analyzing our experiences and asking ourselves why is this happening? To me it's not, why is it? No, sorry, why is this happening for me? Not, why is this happening to me? Because that's the victim, victim mentality, when you're asking yourself hey, what is this teaching me, what can I learn from this? That's shifting that mindset. Does that make sense?

Speaker 1:

yeah, exactly yes and uh. So like what's the common myth that you have found about inner healing that you'd like to bust?

Speaker 2:

Inner healing. Well, everything comes from within Now we try and look for. We try and look for that peace and that, that, that happiness outside of us, but everything resides within, within ourselves, but everything resides within ourselves. And I've had to also learn that all our pain, all our experiences, all our unhealed experiences are kept within our mind. And our mind is actually the most powerful tool that we have, because everything that we think, or that we constantly think, you know, we create, and it's all about becoming conscious of you know, conscious of everything that you go through, well, conscious of who you interact with when being conscious with the world around you. And we don't because what we do, and that's why it's our inner world, we are constantly bombarded with things in our outer world that we deviate away from our own love and from our own self-awareness. And so sometimes I say to people what happens if you switch off your phone or your electronics and you just sit with yourself or you do something that's for you, solely for you, that nourishes your spirit wow.

Speaker 1:

And also like is it possible to fully heal from trauma, or is it more about learning to coexist with it?

Speaker 2:

You can heal from trauma. You know, there's a great example with the emotional freedom technique, where people tap the trauma or the emotional triggers out of the memory and there is a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the worst, and then it goes to 1 and 0. And I've seen people overcome their trauma this way and it's all about forgiveness as well. Trauma this way and it's all about forgiveness as well. Um, and it's incredible like how, with EFT, how people's life change, um, so, but yes, you can overcome trauma absolutely.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I can talk about my trauma now because I understand the experiences and it was all about, you know, the progression of my soul. It's all about development, really, it's all about awareness, and I always say life's like a little bit like the game of snakes and letters. You know, we climb and then we fall, and that's okay, you know, but then we get back up and we continue, because life is like the cosmic game of evolution. That's how I see it. It's all about we continuously evolve, and the more we evolve, the more we understand life.

Speaker 1:

Understood. And so what advice would you give to someone who feels stuck in their healing journey and can't see the light?

Speaker 2:

Yes, always tough, always tough. And, mind you, mind you, avig, I've also been borderline depressed and it's so tough. I know that when people really suffer, it takes immense strength and courage to pull yourself up, you know, and get out of that dark hole. But like I said before to you, you know, reach out to someone, reach out to someone I think that's the main thing and again, take that responsibility for your life and know that you are worthy and again deserving of a better life. And it's hard when you're right in the middle of it, but six months down the line you could look back and say, hey, you know what I went through this, but I understand the lesson in it when I'm glad I went through it because I will not be making the same mistake.

Speaker 2:

It's not really a mistake, because I always say experiences are neither good or bad, they're just experiences to help elevate your soul, um, and? And so stop putting yourself in the boxing ring like I did, um, and yeah, reach out for help, really reach out for help. And do you know what? Avi again, even reaching out for help. That is sometimes really hard for people to do, but that is the only thing that I can say. And if you think you're not loved, then at least you know, know that I love you.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, lovely, great. So wow, what an incredible conversation with luminous barjeet avizor. So from her wisdom, dear listeners, on self-love, to her candid insights about life's struggles, there's so much to take away and apply in our own journeys.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they can find me via my website on powersoulhealingcom. I'm on YouTube under Powersoul Healing and then I'm on Instagram by Universal Light Warriors, and it is just one other thing that I like to add to that. So you know, what works for me is meditation and breath work. I think that's been my saving grace, because breath work is so important, because we breathe so shallow, we've forgotten the art of breath. And when we live very, very shallow, shallow, it's like we live on the, on the surface of ourselves. And for me, when I meditate in the morning like 20 minutes, and then in the evening again, um, it gets me a good night's sleep and in the morning it starts my day just right exactly perfect, lovely, great.

Speaker 1:

That's really really great and uh, so this is your host signing off from pleasure principles stay healthy, stay happy. Thank you so much.
