Everything Is Energy with Cathy Heller
Host: Cathy Heller
Date: March 27, 2026

Episode Overview

In this minisode, Cathy Heller explores the concept of an evening spiritual practice, especially through the lens of Kabbalistic and Jewish wisdom. Building on frequent listener questions and her own experiences, Cathy shares practical approaches to preparing the mind and soul before sleep—emphasizing how nighttime can be a powerful window for programming the subconscious, connecting with the Divine, and setting yourself up for breakthroughs. This concise episode highlights the interplay between conscious intention, energetic alignment, and the quantum possibilities available to us with an open vessel.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Nature of Abundance & Receiving (00:00–01:06)

• Cathy reframes wealth as an energetic state rather than a result of striving:
  • “Money comes into your life instantly when your consciousness expands. Wealth is not something you have to build over time. It's something you become available for now because God is always giving. The supply is always here.” (A, 00:00)
  • The main question is not about abundance existing, but about our openness to receive it.
  • Letting go of forcing and controlling allows us to perceive support and expansion.

2. The Importance of Monthly Energies & Community Practice (01:06–01:57)

• Cathy references her workshops about the spiritual energies of each month (e.g., Aries as a time of breakthroughs and liberation).
• Community—her membership group, This Abundant Life—plays a significant role in collective spiritual exploration and support.

3. Why Consider an Evening Practice? (01:57–03:25)

• Listener Question: "You talk a lot about the morning practice, but how can I work with it in the evening as well?"
• Cathy emphasizes the special openness of the soul during sleep:
  • Kabbalah’s Teaching: During sleep, “your soul actually goes into the quantum field… and has conversations with God, like just fully connected to something transcendent.” (B, 01:57)
  • Scientifically, sleep (especially in theta brainwave states) allows for unique subconscious programming—“like wet cement.”
  • The evening window offers programming potential distinct from (but complementary to) the morning.

4. Cathy’s Personal Evening Practice Explained (03:25–end)

• Judaism’s Role: Recounts the Shema prayer, which affirms God’s oneness—recited both morning and night.
  • At bedtime, the Shema is expanded: “May everything be for its highest good, in divine order, and may my soul forgive anyone who has sent negative toward me.” (B, 03:25)
• High-Vibration States: Forgiveness and wishing well for others clears energy, aligning with “the gates of unearned treasures” (kabbalistic idea that divine abundance is waiting for open, selfless vessels).
  • “...when you go to sleep with that, it opens up for you what we call the gates of unearned treasures, that there is so much in escrow...you're clean, right?” (B, 03:25)
• Practical Steps for Listeners:
  • Before sleep, consciously state that everything is in divine order.
  • Send light to anyone with whom there is discord.
  • Intentionally ask for a spiritual download: “I basically ask for a download while I'm asleep… to allow me to aim the next day right for exactly the right place in time that I was meant to be.” (B, 03:25)
  • Waking up, Cathy often finds herself in a positive mood or with explicit insight—"let's go" energy.
• Practice Makes Default:
  • Cathy’s mindfulness teacher wisdom: “What you practice, you get better at. People who practice road rage...get better and faster at getting angry in the car. You practice peace, get better at it.” (B, ~04:30)
  • Over time, your default state can shift toward well-being and positive energy.
• Energy as the Precursor to Reality:
  • “Energy creates matter, energy creates what possibilities we extract from the quantum field.”
  • Coherent, net-positive energy not only transforms you but invites coherence in those around you. “Everyone wants to move toward coherent net positive energy because it awakens it in them, it reminds them to access it…”
• Invitation to Listeners:
  • Cathy encourages everyone: “Maybe try that when you go to sleep at night.”
