Helen Yeplin's Personal Journey and Awakening
Timestamp [04:06 – 10:32]:
Helen Yeplin shares her transformative journey, beginning with her realization in 2011 while enrolled in a PhD program in the United States. Struggling with severe anxiety and depression under the "publish or perish" pressure of academia, she questioned her path aligned with her parents' expectations. This introspection led her to meditation—a practice that became her salvation. As Helen recounts:
"Three months after my daily meditation, only 20 minutes a day, I was off all anxiety and depression medication I was on at that time. I was so bad that I actually visited the ER due to a panic attack. That was my wake-up call that meditation can actually become your medication."
[00:24: Helen Yeplin]
Her newfound clarity propelled her into further spiritual exploration, including yoga, Vedic and Western astrology, enneagram, human design, and crystal healing. A Kundalini awakening in 2018 further expanded her perception, enabling her to see auras and connect deeply with spiritual entities, transforming her approach to her career and art.
Understanding the Aura Color Wheel
Timestamp [16:03 – 42:32]:
Helen introduces her latest work, "The Aura Color Wheel: What Your Soul's Aura Reveals About Your Inner Gifts, Wounds, and Lessons," which conceptualizes the aura as a vibrant reflection of one’s soul story. She explains the three types of auras:
- Mood Aura: Transient energy around the face that reflects current emotions.
- Personality Aura: A semi-permanent aura around the head indicating traits like introversion or analytical thinking.
- Soul Aura: Centered around the heart chakra, representing the soul’s gifts, wounds, and lessons from past lives.
Helen elaborates:
"Energy is just information that vibrates. Different energies have different frequencies and wavelengths that coincide with colors. Your soul aura tells me what you're here to do, your gifts, your wounds, and your lessons."
[02:58: Helen Yeplin]
The Aura Color Wheel categorizes these energies into 36 soul aura colors and nine soul gift archetypes, providing a comprehensive map for individuals to understand and align with their true purpose.
Connecting with Spirit Guides
Timestamp [21:01 – 31:15]:
Helen discusses her experiences with spirit guides and offers practical advice for listeners skeptical about spiritual connections. She emphasizes the importance of being open and giving permission to these guides to assist in one's journey. Helen shares a personal anecdote:
"I asked my guardian angel for a sign and saw a dry orchid flower fall out of my yoga teacher training manual. That specific sign, connected to my father's favorite flower, was unmistakable and deeply emotional for me."
[26:22: Helen Yeplin]
She outlines the various types of spirit guides mentioned in her book, including angels, ancestors, star beings, animal guides, fairies, and ascended masters like Jesus Christ and Buddha. Helen encourages listeners to experiment with meditation and openness to begin perceiving these subtle energies.
Healing and Expressing Through the Aura
Timestamp [42:32 – 49:44]:
Helen explains the dual process of healing and expressing one’s aura. Healing involves addressing and overcoming personal wounds associated with specific aura layers, while expressing focuses on embodying and utilizing one's inherent strengths and gifts. She provides an example of Jessica, a student who healed her yellow aura (associated with self-esteem) and blossomed into a confident Broadway dancer.
"Healing and expressing go hand in hand. If you don't heal your wounds, your ability to express your gifts confidently is compromised."
[42:51: Helen Yeplin]
This holistic approach ensures that individuals not only overcome their limitations but also fully realize and project their intrinsic potentials.
Overcoming Shadows and Achieving Alignment
Timestamp [46:19 – 53:36]:
Drawing from Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow, Helen discusses how individuals often live in shadow versions of their archetypes, manifesting as fears and blockages that obscure their true light. She advises:
"Ask yourself what your biggest fear is that’s preventing you from fulfilling your passion or mission. Energetically, this corresponds to a specific aura layer that needs healing."
[46:39: Helen Yeplin]
She suggests identifying recurring physical symptoms related to specific chakra areas as indicators of deeper energetic imbalances. This self-awareness allows individuals to target and heal their shadows effectively, paving the way for genuine alignment with their soul’s purpose.
Practical Applications of the Aura Color Wheel
Timestamp [49:44 – 53:36]:
Helen outlines how to utilize the Aura Color Wheel in daily life as a compass for personal growth. Her toolbox approach includes:
- Diet and Nutrition: Viewing food as medicine to support specific aura layers.
- Crystals and Herbs: Using gemstones and herbal teas to balance energy.
- Yoga and Movement: Practicing specific poses to activate chakra points.
- Feng Shui: Arranging living spaces to enhance energy flow.
- Frequency Music: Listening to specific frequencies to harmonize energy.
- Spiritual Practices: Engaging with archangels and spirit guides for guidance.
She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and introspection in identifying which tools to use based on one’s current energetic state.
Defining a Passion Struck Life
Timestamp [53:36 – 55:28]:
In wrapping up, Helen and John discuss the essence of living a Passion Struck life. Helen defines it as:
"To consciously choose what aligns with your soul's purpose, tapping into your untapped potential, and surrendering control to allow spirit guidance."
[53:41: Helen Yeplin]
She likens spirit guidance to a car's headlight, illuminating the immediate path without revealing the entire journey, thereby encouraging faith and trust in the unfolding process.
