Moving to Oneness. Nourishing curiosity. Embracing differences. Becoming one.
00:00:42 - Meilin Ehlke
Following the flow of the artistic essence that is within you is not always easy and it comes at different times in your life. But I bet it always surprises you what you are able to do. So today stay tuned to a fascinating guest that shares her lushness of life experiences in being an artist in many different ways. So hello everyone. I'm Meilin Ehlke, your host of the Moving to Oneness podcast. Feel welcomed and please welcome with me Linda Pollio sitting in Sedona now. What a high spirited vibrating piece of land. Or really, it's a vast piece of land and it really gets out of you what is within you. Sometimes people, I've learned, push against it or become angry when they are in Sedona, but for my guest it has been like a water spring and everything creative in her started bubbling out. So hello Lynnda, wonderful to have you here on the Moving to Oneness podcast. And good morning to you.
00:02:15 - Lynnda Pollio
Good morning. Thank you very much. I'm really excited to be here. I appreciate it.
00:02:20 - Meilin Ehlke
Yes, you have a lush life experience in my eyes. You know, growing up in the for many decades it was called the creative place to be, The Big Apple, New York City. Woohoo. And there you were really creative in advertisement and then later you went other directions and we'll, we'll talk about during the podcast. I don't want to spoil right away everything because it's all an interesting story and also she has written or channeled something beautiful. So stay tuned. But did you notice as a child already that you had art, the energy of art within you?
00:03:13 - Lynnda Pollio
Yes, I was an unusual child. I was highly creative from the time I can first remember. The first things I wanted to be when I was five years old was a nun and an artist. I was highly, I was highly religious and I was raised Catholic. So for me it was all about Jesus and particularly the Virgin Mary, but it was really just spirituality that I didn't really have any other way to express except was through my family's religion. And I was always highly creative. I was always drawing spirals and all kinds of things. So, I always was very creative. And the way that I think artists are sort of born more than made. You can cultivate your gift for artistry, but it's really the way that you look at life. And I was having a lot of mystical experiences as a child. So I was, I was like that from very early on. But over time you sort of get it programmed out of you. You know, your parents don't support, they worry about you being an artist. Spirituality is not really looked at well unless you fit within the defined religions. So I learned, you know, as I went into my teens and twenties, I learned to kind of go with the program for a while. But it eventually you can't take it out of your system. So eventually it will come roaring back in some way, shape or form as it did for me.
00:04:39 - Meilin Ehlke
Oh, I love the word roaring back. I just had to think about my own life. I also painted already or was creative. Love to use my hands was out in nature. But then when I got older and the profession was calling what to study, art was looked down to at least in my surrounding and I couldn't push it back. Where I remember when I found in landscape architecture Lynnda it was for me like the moment, oh, I could use my hands and draw and paint. And that was then where I could give myself the okay of being an artist. Creating landscapes in a way, but also painting. At that time we didn't use the computer yet or just started when I was in college. The usage of it, so you could still use color and express the vibrancy of everything that was is existing on paper. And then yeah, later, then as life took on more and more the art came within me.
Yeah, but you also had a profession that you picked that was a very artistic but it felt or fell under a profession that is labeled okay, that you're very productive but not an artist. Right. Advertisement or Branding
00:06:08 - Lynnda Pollio
Yeah, I sort of, I don't think I actually chose it. I think I stumbled into it in my 20s. I really didn't know what I wanted to do because I was an artist and I was a spiritual being and I was in touch with those. So I never felt like I fit into the corporate world at all. So in my 20s I kind of bounced around. I took all kinds of jobs and moved around not looking for my space, but nothing ever fit. And then in my early 30s I stumbled into advertising and advertising worked for me for a couple of reasons. One, it was a creative field, particularly at the time and it was unstructured. So I didn't have to come in nine to five. It was as long as I was being effective for the agencies I worked for. I could come in late, I could come leave early. It was very flexible and I'm very multitask oriented. So, it allowed me to use a bunch of different skills. I basically head new business for advertising agencies. So I had to know about creative and media and accounts and all different kinds of industries. So it allowed me to Kind of expand and use my abilities and skills in ways that other industries just pigeonholed me.
So I got into advertising. I literally stumbled into it. But I did very well and became an executive within a very short period of time. And it served me well. I made money, I was well respected and it gave me freedom. I could kind of come and go as I please. But that all changed when I came to Sedona the first time and had sort of a spiritual awakening.
And then I brought that advertising background into conscious business practices. And that's a whole other story. But yeah, it was. I was happy to find advertising at the time because it was something that allowed me to land and use all my abilities. And I think a lot of us that are kind of, you know, very energetically focused, we have multiple talents and skills and we live in a world that insists that you have one. So I needed to find something that allowed me to use all of them so I could develop more.
00:08:19 - Meilin Ehlke
Oh, so you were really lucky. So that comes the next question. So did you use also your spiritual knowingness, your own wisdom in advertising?
00:08:31 - Lynnda Pollio
Yes.
00:08:32 - Meilin Ehlke
Because I'm noticing often people don't include it into their professions. Too often I see people do it as in a separate. They come, they leave their job. And I think it's so important that it's included that you bring it into, as you said in the spiral, because it feeds off each other and it's probably why you rose so quickly to a higher level, in the corporate world. Did you do that or do you have a tip for someone who is, for example, now in the corporate setting?
00:09:04 - Lynnda Pollio
Well, I think, you know, I didn't know what I didn't know back then. I didn't know that a lot of my success in advertising at the time was because of my intuition, was because of my ability to read frequencies and because of my ability to design things and create things and put pieces of a puzzle together that other people didn't see. And that really was my intuitive and frequency adept skills, but I didn't know what they were.
And many people that have awakenings have these experiences, but there is no language to them. So it's only when you learn to put language to the things that you do and that, you know, that you can define that. You know, it wasn't just I was good in advertising, I was good in advertising because of my spiritual and my conscious skills. But that took me a while to figure out. But I was very good and I was always great with relationships. I was always Very trusted and authentic. And that's a currency. It's even a more important currency now to be honest and authentic in who you are. But that worked for me back then.
And then when I came to Sedona and had all these mystical experiences, that woke up my childhood spirituality. And I came back to New York, I really didn't want to just start going back into advertising. I had to be involved in the conscious movement. And at the time, it was kind of the beginning of all these small businesses like organics and solar energy and all these companies that had a view of the future that was very positive and there were very spiritual conscious people that were beginning these companies. So I got involved in this, in working with conscious business practices and I work with small companies. It was the beginning of an organization called Lohas and just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to conscious capitalism. So there were people that were in the corporate world that wanted to be more conscious, and then there were people like me who were really more in the conscious world that was trying to get corporations to invest in human consciousness the same as they had invested in digital consciousness. So I became very involved with those kind of companies working in branding and marketing and particularly communications.
I'm sort of a languaging master of how to language something so that the audience that you're looking for can connect with the information that you're trying to provide to them.
So I did that and I eventually I did that as a consultant. I was always a way better consultant than I was an employee because I needed my freedom. Freedom was always very important to me. And then I got involved. I tried to get an advertising agency for many years to hire a chief consciousness officer officer, which for me was kind of similar to a chief technology officer, which basically navigates and manages digital technologies. And a chief consciousness officer was someone that could help manage human technologies like wisdom, intuition, compassion, empathy, forgiveness and gratitude, and just ways of interacting with the humanity side of a business. But I couldn't quite get them. I finally got a futurist marketing consultancy to hire me as a chief consciousness officer and I started working with the CEOs and CMOs of Fortune 100 companies to try to mostly educate them into what consciousness was and to what we were going to be evolving towards in the future, which the future is now, because everything I was talking about 20 years ago is happening now. So I did that for a number of years and then I went on another journey taking care of my mother. So I've been on a long. I've had a long, deep and somewhat wild life journey.
00:13:00 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah. And that's a really fascinating story. But before we delve into that, I have a question. Because you said what you did 20 years ago and that was for the future, and the future is now. And with many of you things you were right on.
So what do you see for the future that is coming? So where are you putting your creative energies in at the moment to prepare people or educate or create experiences that they can be, that they feel comfortable moving into the future? And also I think what is also important why I believe it's so important, that we have more people like you also in corporate settings, because the products of the future should be created now and then. It is no waste of creative energies, time, and money. Right. And also less fighting amongst each other. People can relate totally different to their product, to people and the landscape.
00:14:17 - Lynnda Pollio
Well, you know, we really need to introduce human consciousness into AI. I mean, AI is only going to be what we teach it to be. And if we don't allow human technologies, these human technologies and human consciousness, and particularly heart consciousness into AI as it continues to expand and grow, which it will be. A, it's not going to be as much of a benefit to humans as we think it is, and B, it could be really detrimental to us as well.
So for me, the most important thing is consciousness. I'm all about helping people wake up because I think a lot of people are having experiences of waking into another level of consciousness, but they do not know what's happening to them. And they don't have the language and they aren't around people that will help them understand what's happening to them. And they're feeling lonely and isolated and maybe they're having these weird kind of mystical experiences or synchronicities or strange things happening that, they can't really explain. And usually when you begin to wake up, you're alone. That's sort of part of the process of waking up is this time where there's no one around you who understands you.
So I think what you need are people, you know, like me and you. And there are many now that are here to support people and with courses and tools and books and really community. So you don't feel like you're going crazy because we are going probably into a more difficult time coming up in the external world. So it's very important that people learn to go into their internal universe, and navigate that internal universe and get to know it. So when you're there, there's all kinds of resources.
I mean, this is a technology inside of you and there are all kinds of resources using your own frequencies and then using your frequency to connect into other frequencies, whether it's sound therapy or acupuncture or any kind of other energy medicines or nature. So but you have to learn these. This is a school of consciousness that we're being activated into right now.
So for me, it's all about consciousness. You can talk about the climate, you can talk about all the other things, but what's going to shift climate and shift everything that we don't like is people becoming more conscious of their inner universe, their external universe, their interconnectedness to each other, to the planet, to animals, to the universe. And this is going to come slowly over time. But I believe there are more people having these experiences, than are talking about it and that maybe even know they're having these experiences. So that's kind of where I want to be at this point, is just being someone that they can turn to, whether it's any of the tools that I created or a course that I'll create, or just helping them guide them to someone else. Because I'm a specific frequency, you may not resonate with my frequency, you may not like the way I speak, but someone else, you may be able to speak in a way or have the tools that someone needs at this point in time. So a big part of all of us is just helping people find the right place for them and then you move on to someone else or something else. So that's, that's kind of, I think it's kind of where I am at this point in time.
00:17:51 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah, this is beautiful. It's been starting to for us, in a way a wayshower. So there are many that are. In our generations, we have been rather quiet and now. Yeah. But we have lived it and traveled and it's now a little nudge, I believe. And you're sharing the same to become more visible, to really also go inward and see what are you about, what am I about? What are we about as humanity? And then where do I fit in and where can I support others?
And you also mentioned community and that most of us have been alone. Luckily, often I was not alone, sometimes I was alone, but it became less and less. But I needed that support. I had at least someone to share things with. And the Internet, you said, is so beautiful, I believe as well, because we can meet across the oceans, across the vast lands and find each other.
And when you were Talking about AI, I had to think, the more we use also AI and speak our truth, and in my eyes, you are a big truth speaker, Lynnda. When we speak our truth, type our truth. So. And that's the next thing.
You created a book and the story, how you got into the book, that's the next thing I would love you to share. But it's written and it's being taken on and read by AI and then shared with others in the world. So if you are out there and you have just a tiny inkling of writing something, if it's a poem, if it's a chapter in a book, if it is an article or your own book, take the time slowly to explore what it needs for you to be able to write it on paper. Now we can use even audio or never forget that you can read it as well. Your voice puts then even more action to it.
And so now I would love now to flow into the story. You wrote a fascinating book, Lydia. I read it really intensive. I had to split it up. I didn't really want to read it in one setting. I wanted to go at a slow pace because it was so lush, the language was so lush, so dear. So in a way, touching. And, yeah, it had to do with nature. I don't want to share too much about what is written in there, so I don't spoil for anyone what has written. But please tell me more about your book. Your newest book you have written has won many, many, many, many awards. Yeah. And there is something I want then later on to ask you as well, but please share a little bit about it.
00:20:58 - Lynnda Pollio
Well, I had no intention of writing a book. I didn't consider myself a writer. I mean, I now consider myself a writer, but I learned to write by writing. I was involved in conscious business practices and I was a consultant. I had been going back and forth between New York and Sedona, and I was in a very kind of mystical time in my life. I've always channeled what I would call high knowledge, which meaning I would get information. And that's one of the reasons why I was so good at advertising. Because if I'm speaking to a potential client, I would get information about that client, not like where they're from, but I would get emotional, energetic information about them in a way so that I could communicate to them that would resonate with them. So I would. And sometimes it was just information about where the world's going, information about myself, just information about consciousness.
00:21:53 - Lynnda Pollio
So I've always got what I would call high knowledge, but I've never heard a voice before. And I was working on a project, and I was sitting in my apartment in New York City, where I was living at the time. And all of a sudden I heard the voice of an old black Southern woman who said, it's not what happened to me that matters. And I just remember how it shook me because it felt like she was standing right next to me. And it kind of scared me a little bit. Even though I'd had mystical experiences my whole life, this one was something I'd never experienced before. And I just typed in the sentence and she kept going. And I probably typed in about two or three paragraphs. And that became the beginning of her story. And then I felt her leave. And then I was sort of. That was kind of weird. And I went back to my project and didn't really think about it. And then about three or four days later, I felt her presence move in again. I used to call it the indigo abyss. Because when I felt her coming, I would get this kind of. It's almost uncomfortable feeling.
00:23:04 - Lynnda Pollio
I want to say the word cold, but that. It wasn't the temperature, but it was that kind of feeling. And I'd have to allow her to sort of settle into me. And then it would be a warm current, and then it would be. Then she would take me and I would just. She wrote stream of consciousness. I never knew what I was writing or where the story was going until I was writing it.
And I didn't know I was writing a book a year. I just listened to her. And I think that many people have these experiences, maybe not as profound as that was, but I had to say yes. I could have. When she first came to me, say, this is crazy. I have to get back to work. But I allowed the process to unfold. And I think many people have the potential for these experiences. But instead of saying yes, they say, I'm too busy or I'm imagining something.
But I said yes. So over the next year, I just kept. Whenever I felt her, I would go back to my computer and she left off. And then about a year into writing it, all of a sudden I realized it wanted to be a book. And she asked me to go back to Sedona. And so I got on a plane and I came to Sedona. And I spent the next nine months basically down the rabbit hole, channeling, channeling the rest of this book.
00:24:23 - Lynnda Pollio
And a lot of the nature in the book are my experiences here in Sedona. And when it was over, I literally, when I wrote the Last Words, that's when I knew it was over. I didn't know the book was over until I wrote the Last Words. And I immediately started crying because I had gotten so close to her and her family. It's this very powerful.
Three very powerful black women are the center characters in this book. And I know being a white woman has challenged people about this, but, you know, she told me, I asked. I used to ask her all the time, like, why me? And she used to say, you know, to show what two women who share the same compassionate spirit can accomplish when they do something together. And that we really are here to celebrate our differences. That, you know, where we go back to. We don't have these kinds of differences. And we come here so we can be different and we can look at each other through. Basically, we're looking at ourselves through different eyes. So that was a very powerful to me. So I went back to New York. I was completely loopy from two years of channeling.
00:25:30 - Lynnda Pollio
And I hadn't really worked much because every time I tried to do something, she would come back. So I put the book away for a year. I never intended to publish it. I just felt like I had finished my covenant with her. And I went back to my consulting work, and I went back to work. And about a year later, she came back and she said, it's time to start editing. Well, it took me eight years to edit the book.
So it's a total of 10 years before this book came out. And the reason it took so long was the book initially was written in very heavy Southern black dialect. I basically wrote it the way I heard it. And I had to put her languaging into a language that was more digestible so people would understand what I was talking about. But also, there's a lot of. I had to work. There are frequencies embedded in the writing which you may have experienced when you were writing it. And it brings you. Yeah, it brings you into your heart. So I would sometimes work on one sentence for three or four hours because it had to have a certain cadence. And I always tell people when I talk to them that if they're reading the book and they really resonate with something in particular to read that out loud because there's a certain sound therapy that's embedded in that.
00:26:45 - Lynnda Pollio
And I've had a lot of mothers and teenage daughters read the book to each other, and husbands and wives read the book to each other before they go to bed because. And I don't have an audio book, I need to do that at some point. But when you're reading it, the frequencies can actually activate more.
So it took me eight years to publish it and well, eight years to finish. And then I didn't know what to do with it because here I was, a middle aged white woman from New York writing about a young black girl from the south and I didn't think anyone would take me seriously. And it was a spiritual debut novel. I mean it couldn't get any worse. So I ended up going to like a book show in New York, which is a big industry book show. And I talked to a bunch of publishers and authors and I decided to self publish. And I didn't know what I was getting into.
00:27:36 - Lynnda Pollio
It took me a year and a half and in the meantime I got immersed in my mother's 247 care. So the book came out and I didn't even tell anyone that I published the book because I was so busy taking care of my mother and I was in such a different state. I just needed it to get out. But three days after it came out, I got an email from an Anglican priest in England who had somehow found my book via Twitter and had downloaded it onto itunes and had written this, written me this amazing, beautiful note about how it's much of what he teaches in his parish and he compared it to Mary Oliver and some other woman.
And I can't tell you what, how much I needed to hear that because I was so enmeshed in caring for my mother and I had no idea whether I had wasted my time writing this book.
00:28:32 - Lynnda Pollio
And he ended up becoming my first Amazon review. And so, and that, and that began the journey and I didn't really have time for the book the first yearI. I entered one book award, which was the Nautilus book Award, which is a book award for books that are making a positive impact on the planet. And I won the gold medal in fiction. And so that was the only indication the book was any good. I couldn't get any of my friends to read it.
I didn't have time to try to promote it. So it just had its own little life. And even to this day, the book just goes on its own way and it finds the people that are meant to read it. And I have incredible reviews. And Addie Mae, who's the character? Her name is Addie Mae Aubrey. She's been the most influential person in my life and she's never really existed in my real life. But she's been. She moved me in directions and had me have faith in myself that I didn't have. So you never know where these little voices will take you. And I'm very grateful.
00:29:40 - Meilin Ehlke
So probably also that doubt because you mentioned in a conversation prior the recording today that Addie May also was in a way a known person. Late. Yeah. In the public eye. And that in a way also held you back because then you. The doubt, the self doubt starts. Is really true that I thought this is this person or not. And I think many people go through this.
I want to use an example of mine where that was a little similar. Lynnda. I'm also a physical channel. I dance. Yeah. But I remember I was dancing one day and we were in a group. My teacher was there at that time as well. He was good. But anyway. And then he suddenly said, you were dancing. Isabella Duncan and I. It really threw me backwards for a long time. And I said, what the heck. This beautiful woman, the mother of modern dance. Why does she want to dance through me? I'm a girl, at that time a young woman with cereal policy. Yeah. So I don't even move correctly. I live through life and turn awkward movements. But why me? So this is really. And it didn't like say oh my God, oh, that's me. And I'll show everyone the world. It does the opposite. It really went and took me inward trying to figure out who the heck wants to see me. Who the heck wants to know? Am I really a channel? Was that crazy? Did they just say, you know, all these. These things? Because we did not grow up in a community where we were seen as little girls already.
Lynnda, you were already this and they taught you and so you could be self aware of your gift all the way through and you know, stand totally different in life. You found that now you're in a way fighting to maintain it. And I think many other people are. Are doing and going through the same thing at the moment. We all asked to be ourselves, but it's sometimes rather scary and we don't want to be put in a loony bin or labeled. Our generation is a little bit maybe more scared of the loony bin. So many of us, as younger ones have ended up in there.
But you also had a story like this where you really had to say no. I really thought and spoke and worked with this person. And I'm very thankful because that's another story that is in your story and the other stories. So it is really very powerful what you're bringing to all of us. It ignites. And yes, the frequency is in the book. And I'm happy, even though I understand Southern, I lived in Georgia and. Oh, yeah, for 20 years. So I do understand it and understand a little bit of the culture. Not totally, but a little bit as much as a German girl can.
But there is this magnitude, this vastness in what you are bringing to the world. It shows in my eyes of you a lot of gentle strengths of following. You use the word current and as your book is, also has the word currency, but the flowing currency, yeah, the currency of light, the currency of energy, the flow where we are asked to step into. Where I am asked in to step into, you are asked to step into. And then we're just getting pulled along. But not just pulled along, but that we also act then and be ourselves in that currency. And that what's great about you.
00:34:01 - Lynnda Pollio
I think what's, you know, happens. We're all, you know, I call it your inner resonance signature. We're all born with this soul. It's kind of your soul song. It's who you truly are. It's everything that you are that your soul wants to experience in this life that you're born into. But we get born into social conditioning. You're born into a country, you're born into religion, you're born into a race. You're born into all these things. And everything is programming. So over the years, it's like layers of an onion.
You have this thing that's you, and it gets covered, covered, covered, covered, covered by different programming. And what you need to do is find ways to peel that onion away. And I think, you know, when you're having awakenings, that's what's happening is that that inner resonance signature is beginning to vibrate and saying, find me. Come find me.
00:34:56 - Meilin Ehlke
Beautiful
00:34:57 - Lynnda Pollio
Because I am who you are. I am not what everyone has told you you are. And the first time I came to Sedona, you know, I was a successful business person.
I was a daughter. And I mean, I was all these things that I was good at, but there was a big part of me that was in denial. And that big part of me was exactly who I was. That part of me and that part of you is your individualness. And this culture and society tries to take our individualness away from us. And, you know, it's not that we have to be sort of not caring of anyone else.
I mean, I'm a big believer in what I call collaborative interdependence, which means we're all here to collaborate, but we have a right to be ourselves and we're all pieces of a puzzle. So I may be good at something that you're not. And so instead of me going, oh, you're terrible at what you do, I go, I'm really good at what you're not good at.
00:35:58 - Lynnda Pollio
But so what are you good at that I'm not good at? And then we all kind of have a way of bringing of moving up together, feeling fulfilled. And I think, you know, everything that I've tried to do in my life is "A" uncover my inner resonance signature. And when I came to Sedona the first time, and I understand the Buddhist call of plunging, when you take yourself out of your environment and you go and go somewhere where you don't know anyone, you eat differently, it's a different environment and there's nothing that is be programmed you there.
00:36:33 - Lynnda Pollio
So slowly this layers of the social conditioning begin to peel away and all of a sudden you're left with that cellular song that is you. And that cellular song for me was highly spiritual and very creative. And that being in Sedona helped open that up to me again so that I could, can come back to New York and I could bring that.
Now that wasn't accepted very much, I was looked like I was completely crazy by a lot of people. Some people didn't see me as crazy, but didn't see the value in it because we live in a very kind of hard value culture where compassion and kindness and creativity is not really looked at as something that has value. And yet all major transformations on the planet come from basically conscious and, and creative. The Phoenix rising from the sun, rising from the ashes is a creative process because you're left with nothing and you have to create something to rise.
00:37:45 - Lynnda Pollio
So I, I really am a big believer in helping people find that inner resonance signature so they can start living from the place that is truly them. It doesn't mean you have to leave your environment, but you will become more conscious and aware of it and you will probably leave some people. You might leave your job because you will leave whatever is not resonating with that thing that is really you, but you will start drawing to you people that see that part of you and you will start cultivating skills and gifts that actually not only activate that part of you, but use it to create a better life for yourself. And you know, it's not a five steps to easy enlightenment type of thing. It is a difficult process, but it's possible. And there's a lot more people that exist on the planet now to help support everyone who is going through this.
00:38:39 - Lynnda Pollio
And I'm very much a believer in being of service right now and that we all have to make small sacrifices for each other because we're going through the needle of the eye at this point. And we have to be helpful to each other and be compassionate and not judgmental and allow people to make mistakes because we're going to make mistakes as we go through this. It's just. Can you admit to your mistake and then can you move forward from that?
00:39:08 - Lynnda Pollio
I'm kind of pessimistic on the short term right now, but I'm highly optimistic on the long term. And I think the short term will determine how many people open their hearts and take in people that they believe are not like them and start looking at each other with what their. What your similarities are and not what your differences are.
00:39:28 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah, I. I feel that as well. Since I'm a little girl. I'm little Miss Positive. I don't know, I've taken a lot for that. But I still believe we're moving forward into a different. And you can see it here and there. And a change comes always with a little newness, uncomfortableness, maybe, you know, it, as you said, it's a spiral. And I love that idea that we have to help each other and be there. And I see that more and more help each other.
In your book also, there is this character that helps the main character or sees the main character. And I thought about that many moments in my life where someone saw me as I am and supported me and fought for me or told me it's possible or it gave me... Sometimes it's a sentence or a book or invited me to something or told me a bit about more of myself that I didn't see. And if we can do that with others. Yeah, that is at the moment, I think the most important, just taking something from myself and taking that moment and to provide it to someone else or many other people, everyone is different. But if I can do it with one person, super. If you can do it with two, even better. More as well. But if you see someone give that little extra, that little extra. And it always came. I mean, your parents. Yeah, but you don't listen to your parents at all. But even though if they do it, but as an outsider, it comes into your life to catapult you forward. And if you are the one to catapult someone forward. Please do that.
That's a perfect now time to do that. Because it's this unsettling time we're learning from going this 'Ah' where we are not allowed to move, or really for thousands of years. And now we're supposed to start moving. Right. We have to get comfortable. It's the same thing you, you Lynnda have experienced in companies. How do we even do that? How do we move forward? How do I become conscious?
The leadership are they, you know, they have to start feeling safe, speaking out what they also believe. Many think different but don't act. And now going into this action that will. I think that is coming at the moment as well. We have many supporters. You're in Sedona too. There's the landscape that supports us people, the star nations is the high frequencies that are there. And you expressing that all now. Whatever you found and where you've been catapulting yourself and others. And Addie Mae I have to thank her. Catapulted you also to a new level where you now becoming again more creative in a painting finally in something that you wanted to do since a young child. Share that what's happening to you at the moment?
00:42:50 - Lynnda Pollio
Yeah, I'm. I am in probably the most creative and spiritual time of my life. And I would not have expected it at this time in my life, but it, you know, I think, you know, being in Sedona activates it. And I've gone through a lot of dark nights of the soul. This, you know, every place I've gotten to, this has come with a. With a price to it. You know, it. I've gone through a lot of dark times. And when you navigate dark times and you come through it, there's a gift in that. And you become more conscious and aware and you become stronger and you become more sort of, you know, willing to look in directions that you might not have looked at previously.
And what I'm doing is I started and it started like I said. I had been an artist as a child, but I didn't. I haven't done any art in a long time. And about, I'd say a year ago, my husband found this pack of colored pencils in a thrift store all wrapped up in this beautiful package. And he bought them for me. And they sat in the closet for a year. And in April, and I had brought with me from New York. I gave away about 90 of them things I had in New York when I got here. We got here during the pandemic and we came with four suitcases and went right into lockdown. It was kind of a crazy time. But one of the things I brought with me, for some bizarre reason, was a arc pad that had to be 25 years old. Why I dragged that with me, I don't know. So I had that in my closet. And in April, I was hiking and I had this freak accident, and I shattered my elbow. And it was the first surgery I've ever had. It was the first time I was in the hospital. It was extremely traumatic for me. I right now have a plate and 10 screws in my elbow.
00:44:41 - Meilin Ehlke
Uhh. That hurts.
00:44:42 - Lynnda Pollio
It's fine. But it was very, very bad. I'm going back in for surgery in January to get this taken care of, and I'll be fine after that. But it kind of stopped me dead in my track. And that happens a lot of times right before you're going into a new phase of your life. Something terrible might happen or feel like it's terrible.
00:45:03 - Meilin Ehlke
Yes. Yes.
00:45:04 - Lynnda Pollio
So, you know, I'd like to say that I was so wise and aware that I didn't take it seriously, but I did not. I was very upset, and it was very painful. But about a month or month and a half later, as I just began to. I'm left handed. I'm actually ambidextrous in a lot of ways, but I'm left handed when I write it with my left elbow.
00:45:29 - Lynnda Pollio
And about six weeks later, I start. I picked up the colored pencil and the pad, and I started having all kinds of energies come through me. So in the past, and then I switched to markers and acrylic, and then. And now to acrylic paint. So it's been this evolution. And I have been creating what I call frequency art because these are high frequencies that are coming through me, and it's abstract. These are two behind me right now. And it is something that I never expect again, like. Like the writing I never expected to do. I've created 22 pieces in the last four or five months. So it's been an obsessive thing with me. But I believe that I'm bringing in frequencies that when you meditate on these.
00:46:17 - Lynnda Pollio
Or for me, it's more about exploring because there's so much information in each of these images that I don't know what I'm doing until I'm doing it, which is kind of like I did with the book as well. But it's kind of. I'm learning a lot about life from art. And one of the big lessons I'm learning about life from art is that don't make judgments of where you are, and you have to keep going.
00:46:44 - Lynnda Pollio
Because every time I start one of these, they're awful. And I'm sure I'm wasting my time and why am I doing this? And it doesn't feel comfortable. It doesn't feel right. And no matter how long it takes me to complete it, there's a little light that goes off in my head when I know it's done and my completion is not. Is anyone else going to like it? Is anyone going to want to buy it? When I finally begin to sell these things, which I haven't yet, is anyone going to buy it? What are other people going to think about it? All I know is that the intention of the energy coming in has been satisfied. I have brought in everything that wanted to come in and placed it in the right colors, in the right form, in the right way, and that's how I know it's done.
00:47:34 - Lynnda Pollio
And nothing else really matters. I have no expectation of these images beyond me channeling this information onto paper and canvas, because I work with canvas now, too. But it's been an evolution. And so it's something that I find is really important to me. And I really encourage people to start doing any kind of art.
00:48:00 - Lynnda Pollio
And I think the one thing I've learned in this is corporations, because it's made me more creative in different ways in my life. And each piece I do has a life lesson in it. So sometimes I get information about the life lesson as I'm creating it, but often I have to wait till it's complete, and then I have to sit with it and I have to ask it what it is here to teach us. And then I write it, and I have an Instagram account, and I write that on them, when I post them. And eventually I'll have a website and all that. But it's been fascinating to get involved in art in this way, and I'm grateful for everything that I'm learning because of this. And I'm hoping at some point to get this out and let other people have experiences with this art, because it provides information that we need. And it's not written. It's not. It doesn't hit your mind, it just hits you energetically.
00:49:05 - Lynnda Pollio
You don't have to think about it, you just have to experience it. So it's been. And this is something I'm really excited about right now. This is probably the thing that is. Is activating me more than anything else in my life. Right now.
00:49:19 - Meilin Ehlke
I'm happy to hear that. Everyone who's listening go over to the YouTube Moving to Oneness channel. And you can see two of her paintings behind her. Very colorful.
Yeah. Because we materialize the moment. You know, some people see it in the nun material and bring them paintings over. You're similar again to me. I mean, we're similar and so different, but that your body moves and you just start painting. I do the same. I also went through a lot of different styles. Ended up now a with plant pigment watercolor. So it's very pure.
00:59:57 - Lynnda Pollio
Oh. Ok.
00:59:58 - Meilin
So there only symbols. But it is bringing these energy, their frequency into our plane to 'the pearl of our planet'. I love that expression I found that in your book going to use it, if that's okay with you, Lynnda. I really. I really at the Shimmer because I have so much pearl in my paintings as well. Yeah. And because, you know, I also use earth and the iridescence, true iridescence of in that work. Because the materials have also a frequency and they speak with us.
And I love that about you. I mean, I could go on for days that you have it in your spoken word. You have frequency. You have shown people how we can put frequency into our copy. A lot of people are scared to take the time to put the pureness and the time, right. Three hours for a sentence. I believe that is sometimes very important not to jump over that. If you feel something is not right, maybe don't stay on it, go for a walk, come back and the inspiration will help you write it down, maybe by hand. Often our mind cuts us off from the flow, let's say the shine of our heart. But if you use something with your hands and you trust your body, then it comes out. So everyone, you can write, you can paint. You create products for the world that are here to support the world.
So, Lynnda, I really invite everyone to come and work with you. And when you get ready, Right. But you're also waiting for the right time. And that's another thing I would like to point out. You don't rush somehow you have a intuition within yourself that you wait for the environment, the outside world to be ready for what you have created to go out. Similar now, probably as it was with the book, it's going to be now with your artwork. When it's ready, the time is right, your website will be done and then you'll have an art show or maybe their prints of whatever you've created. But you're waiting for the right impact. And that shows again me how focused you are to bring your purpose onto this earth. And because you wait for the writing, because then it is boom. It has strong impact. It's like, you know, you take that wand and it creates change. That's another thing I want people to know is that feel into it when it is the right time.
And too often we're pushed by marketing or by what we hear, 'Bring it out, bring it out'. And it hurts us because we go out too early and then what happens? We pull back, like into the shell of a muscle. We were talking about pearls and iridescence, right? Or into a snail. Yeah, back into a snail. And don't come out when we are supposed to come out. So go in your own rhythm, in your own time, and connect with Lynnda.
So, Linda, how can people reach you the best.
00:53:34 - Lynnda Pollio
You can reach me at lynnda@lynndapollio.com it's L-Y-N-N-D-A-@L-Y-N-N-D-A-P-O-L-L-I-O.com. That's the website for my book. And that's the best way to reach me as an email. I'm on Instagram as Lynnda Pollio and that's my art. A bunch of other things that's sort of me, but my art is me now. And I do have another website called wisdomkeeping.com, which is the one that I'll be developing more. And I will have courses about the awakening process.
You know, I've always been someone who's been sort of ahead of the curve. And it's always difficult for those of you out there that do the same thing. You have to just hold space and allow. And it's totally maddening. It is totally maddening because It is hard to be in a space that not many people populate. It is hard not to be living while you're sitting in that space because people don't see the value in it. But if you're one of these people that is supposed to be bringing in something, and a lot of young people are bringing in new energies, and their parents maybe don't understand that, and they want them to conform to the way that, you know, they had been taught and the way that they had lived their life. And so it's making kids have problems. And I think it's because they're meant who create this new world that's coming in, and their energy is holding spaces for that new world. And I know what that feels like because I was holding the Space for the new world for a long time. And now we're moving into that new world and I see people move into that space. I then move on to the next space.
I held that for three decades and now many people are working with consciousness and for me it has to be our consciousness because that's the only one that really matters to us. And then heart consciousness will connect to cosmic consciousness which will connect to earth consciousness. But consciousness is a whole nother podcast, what that is.
00:55:40 - Meilin Ehlke
Yes
00:55:41 - Lynnda Pollio
And no one don't know about it, but it's really important that those of you out there that are holding this kind of energy that you realize that you're not crazy and there is a lot of support, support and you're just visionaries and to find, you know, resources, people, books, courses, podcasts that help, anchor that energy that you're holding so that you don't become afraid and kind of go deeper into the cave or, feel hopeless about it. Because these days are coming and I'm a big believer in everyone's support. I'm an elder now and I'm happy to be the elder now because I want to help people that are younger so they don't have to fall into the same traps and failings that I had because we don't have the time now. I had time to learn what I've learned. We need younger people to really become more conscious quicker so that we can make the changes on the planet to help sort of alleviate some of the difficulties that we're going to be having. And I think the future, you know, lies with young people that are making heart conscious choices.
00:56:56 - Meilin Ehlke
Yes. I, I just have to say 'dito' that was really beautifully said and the belief in the young generation and for us to become this space holders and I always have to plank also the ones that walked before us that held this space for us to move into. It's now easier luckily going back to AI and the Internet that we can reach out and learn from each other faster and be there for each other.
So everyone, you have our names, you have our addresses. Please don't hold back, connect with us or anyone else that you have a frequency with that makes you feel comfortable, seen, held and heard. This is so important. So wow. We can talk forever. I mean if you just take the book that is a other podcast. Your work that you are here to do for the world from now on is a new podcast and we'll have more, more episodes. Lynnda, you'll be a guest again?
00:58:04 - Lynnda Pollio
Thank you. I look forward to it.
00:58:06 - Meilin Ehlke
Yes. Give people or the person out there one last. I mean all of your words have been. But because you are a word weaver, or I would say you weave in the frequencies into any action you do and, you invite other frequencies, not only ones that you carry and you connect to, but you also invite collaborative other beings from as the earth, cosmos and beyond into those codes. So what would you say now for maybe also these frequency weavers that are out there now?
00:58:50 - Lynnda Pollio
Well, I mean, first and foremost for me the answers lie in the heart, because there are many, many frequencies out there. The more I've learned in the years I've been doing this work, the less I know. And I think that is what happens when you start going deeper. Because, I always talk about consciousness being like Russian dolls and you're sort of in this Russian doll and you think you know everything and all of a sudden you have an awakening and now you're in another Russian doll and you think that that's the end. But I think it just keeps on going and going and going.
But the only thing that can connects it as human beings, we have to live in our heart because that's the thing. It's the largest energy field. It's what connects us as human beings. It connects us to the earth, it connects us to our cosmic brethren up there. It connects us to whatever the God sources, however you see it, because we really don't know. These are all belief systems. And I'm aware that mine is a belief system that I've created because I don't know and I think our only moment of real truth in our life is the moment of our death because we even know there's something afterwards or there's not. And so but until then, we want to create belief systems that are rooted in our heart. So I would say to trust your heart and start really going into your heart and you find your heart by going into your inner universe.
01:00:17 - Meilin Ehlke
Yeah. And also it starts by just putting your hand onto your heart or your hand on someone else's heart, maybe your partner, a parent, a child, a friend. Or sometimes if you see someone far away, just send from your heart light to the other person, it ignites. And that's how we're connected to everything. Exactly. Enlightenment begins also right there. Feel encouraged. Show all of your parts, everyone. Lynnda has shown with her experiences, her life experience, so many points where you can in a way just connect to, you know, just like a plug, plug into. She is so vast. She can hold many, many plugs. I just see all these plugs coming. Little Sci-fi here. But you're powerful. You can really hold that.
01:01:20 - Lynnda Pollio
I can hold a lot of different thought processes. Someone told me I was a paradox recently because I don't make judgments of people. I can hold anyone's belief system in a space of non judgment and hold multiple, multiple because we need to realize that these are just judgments we're making about other people and ourselves. But if you can hold the space of non judgment for whatever belief systems you can, you can begin to transform them and so that people begin to find what they have in common and start releasing them from the cultural conditionings that really are making up our minds right now. We don't. We're not connecting into who we really are. And once we do that, the world can change very fast and very beautifully.
01:02:04 - Meilin Ehlke
Oh, yes. I'm not going to say anything more. Lynnda said it's so beautiful. Everyone have a wonderful creative day, evening, night, maybe if you're dreaming or morning. Wherever you are in this beautiful blue planet, I want to thank you in your name also to Lynnda for being here. You're bringing your energy, your freedom frequency to us and spreading it out over the Internet and the podcast into the world. And you out there do the same and I wish you the best. I'm Meilin Ehlke, your host of the Moving to Oneness podcast. Bye, bye.
