Welcome to Season 2 Episode 12 of Conversations With A Couple Of Crones.

This week’s Conversation With A Couple Of Crones is one big “Where am I now?”, as we dive into the IQ Sphere as part of the Sage’s Golden Path Retreat with Richard Rudd and the glorious Genes Keys Team64.

In our conversation about the right-this-moment “Where Am I Now?” question, you’ll hear how both of us have been focusing on taking care of our physical bodies, as well as taking care of our mental and emotional well-being.

Meghan brings us up to date on her work with her Naturopath and all that has been involved in her taking better care of her body.

We want to just give you a trigger warning here … You will hear Meghan talk about her disordered eating in this first part of the Podcast, so for anyone who suffers from this, please just be aware that this is coming up. Hopefully you will find that the way Meghan talks about this is gentle enough to soften the impact this may have on you personally. Meghan also spoke about her bipolar condition.

You’ll hear me (Lizzie) talking about my journey with bringing in more stillness, about how tired I am, and about how wonderful it was to meet one of our own Gene Keys Unleashed community, Sian, in person!

Where We Are Now on Our Golden Path Journey

We have each been working with our IQ sphere and its Gene Key for a week now, as we travel with the Sage’s Golden Path Retreat.

For Meghan that’s GK50.6, the Siddhi of Harmony, the Gift of Equilibrium, and the Shadow of Corruption; for me it’s GK12.2, the Siddhi of Purity, the Gift of Discrimination, and the Shadow of Vanity.

Meghan’s Sage word and line are about playing the game of life; mine is about living sensuously with conviction! Hence the title of this Podcast!

Please join us for this delicious conversation and hear how we each approach our contemplations of our IQ Gene Key in very different ways. You see, we do have very different approaches to the inner work.

I am all about drilling down into every word that Richard and Team64 share, and deeply contemplating it all in my journal, in my conversations with Meghan, and in my art journaling. This has been especially true on the Sage’s journey, because the Sage wisdom is so new and fresh and is giving me an entirely different way to look at each of my keys and lines. I’m a Line 1 in my Life’s Work, so this is just the way I roll … interiority … it’s my way of doing this work. Meghan is a Line

Meghan is a Line 6 in her Life’s Work, and her word is integration … so she looks at each sphere, each key, each piece of Sage wisdom, from a much more holistic perspective. She literally integrates all the parts of it into one glorious whole. It’s really quite incredible to watch this process at work! I for one am in awe of the way that Meghan does this work.

Mystic contemplations on the hidden patterns behind our lives

DIVINATION

13 golden men playing in a silver stream
13 silver ladies laying in a golden gleam
The harmonic flights are endless –
Even the dissonance is exquisite.

Conviction

Sensuous living as a result of decisive action

Advice from a Courtesan

No matter what you do, you are forgiven.

Inhabit your roles with conviction

For even as you slide into each other

Your heart remains untarnished, imperishable, pure.

I did contemplate giving you a précis of this conversation, highlighting how we are each approaching these delicious words of ours, and how we are tackling this sometimes-tricky IQ sphere, but … I’m not going to do that! I don’t want to spoil it for you!

You see, I always love our conversations. We talk to each other every day over the Voxer app, and while there is always so much juice (and hilarity) for each of us, when we actually get face-to-face like this, it’s so goooood! And this conversation was one of the sweetest and most nourishing we’ve recorded (in my humble opinion!).

Not only do we give you an insight into our different ways of contemplating our Gene Keys, we give you a ringside seat on why this friendship of ours is so amazing.

We didn’t end with our usual whimsical questions, because we both completely forgot about coming up with one! So, instead we shared a whimsical part of our daily interactions … our Nature Interruptions … which are now an integral part of our conversations!

I do hope that you will enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it!

If you want to ask us anything about our Gene Keys or our ways of processing them, just leave us a comment! And if you’d like to share your IQ Sage words, we’d love to read them! Oh, and if you have a different approach to your way of contemplating your Gene Keys, we would love you to share that too!! I imagine there are as many different ways of “doing” contemplation as there are people contemplating!

Until next time,
