Welcome to the Joy Broadcast with me, Ali Mortimer. I was once upon a time an IT consultant, recoding systems in the retail industry to function better. And now I'm turned a life consultant and joy coach where I'd like to think I reprogram and recode hearts, minds.
B
Souls and lives to feel better.

This podcast, the Joy Broadcast, is a way to bring joy to your life, whatever the weather, whatever you're doing. So you feel a pocket of, of positivity in every single day. If, like me, you've once upon a time found yourself wondering whether you will ever be happy again or if you're just staring at the kitchen sink wondering how you'll get through the next 10 minutes, this podcast is for you. Get you a glimmer of hope, a dose of happiness, or an infusion of joy right here, right now. Welcome to the Joy Broadcast. Welcome to the Joy Podcast. And welcome especially to those of you who are joining me live for an energy quest. I'm so excited for this quest. I don't sound particularly excited, but I've got this real. It's more of an energy of excitement rather than bouncing off the walls energy. It's just I feel so grounded by this. I feel so excited by this. I feel so lit up by this. And everything that I'm going to share with you over the course of the next nine days, I know has the.
B
Potential to change your life if that's what you desire.
A
I know that this energy that we're going to create within you has the power to influence not only just your energy, but the energy of those who you come into contact with. This is one of the most amazing feelings of powerfulness. I talked to the ladies in my mastermind about this quite a bit recently. This creation of your own power, the purification of your own internal power within you. The energies that feel flow through your bodies. When you have the power to heal, to purify, to bring these into these most magnetic energies ever, when this energy is flowing through your entire body, then you radiate this power. And this power has the ability to influence any single room, any single situation, any single environment that you walk in because you are emitting this energy. The joy broadcast is all about broadcasting joy. You will broadcast and emit and radiate the energy that you feel within you. So when you take this energy into any room, you get to decide what that energy is. And your energy has the power to influence the room that you are in. And you only need to recognize this by seeing this in others. You know, the people who walk into a room, they're either radiators or drains. I think I've talked about that before. One person has the potential to drain the energy and the life out of a room. And another, they can walk into it.
B
And they can light up a room.
A
And this is what I desire for you to be able to bring your energy into a room, to influence the energy within that room. And in doing so, the energy when that changes, when that energy in that room has been influenced by you, you're creating the space for the behaviors, the conversations that are going to influence the results. Your energy is going to influence the way you experience your life. And it's how you experience your life that is going to dictate how you feel about your life. And that's what I want you to know. You have the power to change everything by changing the power within you, by changing the energy within you. So we're going to start first with the crown chakra. A lot of people start when they talk about energies, they often start with the root chakra. When it comes to human design, I always love to start with the top because I always feel that your energy is pouring from the top down through your body. It just makes sense to me to do it that way. It always has done. So we're going to start with the crown chakra and I'm going to talk to you a little bit about what the crown chakra is all about, the energy within it, some of the remedies. And then at the end, I'm going to take you through a little bit of a guided meditation and energy clearing and priming so that we can get you into that energetic state at the end. And I probably won't say anything at the end, I'm just going to leave you so that you can stay there for as long as you like in that energy until you feel like you're ready to move on with that energy out into your world. So the crown chakra, let's talk about that, shall we? I love the crown chakra. To me, the purpose of the crown chakra is divine connection. It's the connection to something bigger than you. It's connection to the energies around us. It's the sense that we are all one spiritual being or connected to all the spiritual beings. It's a connection to our higher self. And when I was willing to open up to the energy of my crown chakra, what I recognized it was a real connection to my truth. Whatever my truth might be. Whatever your truth might be, it's allowing yourself to See, to witness, to feel, to sense, to know your truth, not anybody else's truth, not to be dictated by anybody else. But what's your truth? My spiritual journey started there. What is spirituality to me? And it was the opening up of my crown chakra to being open to whatever that might be and not make it mean anything, right or wrong or good or bad, but just let it be the truth. This is my truth. And to own that truth. And the more I connected with my truth, the more confident I felt because I didn't really mind what anybody else thought, because I knew what I thought and I was confident with that. I knew it. The crown connected me to my purpose and my purpose is joy. My purpose is to feel good. I think everybody's purpose is to feel good. And however, whatever way you feel that way is your purpose. Our purpose in life is to, to feel good. And my, my feeling of feeling good is the one of joy. My mission is to help more and more people feel that level of joy, peace, calm and abundance. This is how I connected to my purpose. To me, when I visualize my crown chakra at the top of my head, it's this energetic passageway to the bigger energies around me. If we believe that we are all energy, this is how I connect to the energetic grid that surrounds me. What happens when our energy center, our crown chakra is blocked? This can feel like a feeling of lack of inspiration. You may feel stuck. You may feel a deep sense of disconnection or separation from others and possibly even from yourself. As in, I don't know who I am. I can't tell you how many clients come to me and say, I don't know who I am. And the opening up of the crown chakra and finding your truth is how you feel connected to yourself. Other feelings of block chakras could be the sense that you're very materialistic, that you need the material things to feel connected, to feel good, to feel whole. You may feel less spiritual. You might be closed off to the spiritual world. You may also feel completely the opposite. If you're almost like spinning too freely in your crown chakra, if it's almost a bit too charged, you may feel a little bit unhinged if you're not grounded. The colour of the crown chakra, and I love to use colours, is almost like this white light, which is almost violet. I'm looking at the wisteria outside my room that's just budding and it's almost like that very, very pale violet. That's so it's almost like neon, a neon white light that has that hint of violet around it. That's the color that I see, this purple, white, violet light. That's the color. And I love to use color because often if you want to really reinforce this energy, you can wear it or you can surround yourself with this color. I love to use crystals when I am healing a chakra or if I really want to bring more energy to that chakra. So the crystals that I love to use when I'm working with my crown chakra, if I want to heal my. My crown chakra, are some really beautiful crystals, a clear quartz. I've got them with me at the moment. Clear quartz. A clear quartz tower is one of my favorite real activation of spirituality, of knowledge, of inspiration, of connection to the spirits. I recently bought a new one. I love it. One of the things I love to do is when I start working with new clients, new private clients, I go to my favourite shop in Ripon and I buy a crystal. And the latest one I bought was this beautiful Celestine. I'll put a photograph of it on Instagram and I'll put a photograph of it in our telegram group. It's this beautiful pale blue, almost white crystal, amethyst. Sometimes people use diamonds. Who doesn't love a diamond? And moonstone? So those are the crystals that you can use throughout the, the meditation, the visualization that I'm going to take you on. You can just hold them, you can just have them around you. Some people like to put little ones on their forehead. You can do that as well. I love to be in nature, to open up my crown chakra. Just like not to be in anywhere, but to maybe just. You might want to go and lie on the grass or sit outside, feel the sunshine, feel the elements, because it's the elements of nature that can really help us understand the bigness of the universe and have that divine connection. Silence is something that I love to use when it comes to opening up my crown chakra. It's just to be still. I did a whole podcast on stillness. You can go and listen to that one. But just to be still and to.
B
Listen to the whispers of your soul, the whispers of the truth that is within you. How do you nourish this crown chakra?
A
To me, nourishment here is not necessarily about food, but it might be more of a spiritual nourishment. So you might want to do things like dreaming. Nourish your soul with a dream when you've got your crown chakra fully open. And this is how I feel it's like the belief in magic, the belief in the magical, the mystical, the miracles. It's the ability to believe in the visions that you're being shown through your crown chakra. This open channel that opens up, it's almost like this telescope of what you know to be true. When you practice that stillness and in that quietness, it's.
B
It's almost like stepping into the cosmic world.
A
In fact, sometimes I like to call it a little bit of a cosmic sleep. If I'm feeling like I'm disconnected from myself, from my soul, from my truth, from the divine, I might put myself into a cosmic sleep.
B
Don't you love that?
A
And really all of this is. Is this like a yoga savasana, practice of just allowing yourself to lie still and just be at peace and to be at one with yourself and the universe. Opening up my crown chakra really helped me feel true freedom, true liberation, but also real connected and support. It was the truth of my connection. Some people describe the crown chakra as being a thousand suns. And every time I have been talking about the crown chakra, I'm sat here right now. It's like the sun has just popped up from behind the tree outside of my window and it's just shining its light on me. Standing in the sun can help you.
B
Open up that crown chakra as well.
A
Is the.
B
The accessing of different realms. It's accessing joy through your crown chakra.
A
I understand that the crown chakra for me is both an inner connection, but.
B
Also an outer one.
A
Is this gateway to both. The gateway to within us and the gateway to with outside of us is the gateway of inspiration from deep within us and the divine inspiration from outside of us. So when you're ready and if it's.
B
Safe for you to do so, I'm.
A
Going to take you on a little practice that I love to do when I want to awaken or clear or unblock to prime to bring a magnetic.
B
Aura back into my crown chakra. This is what I do.
A
So when you're ready and if it's safe to do so, I would love for you to either sit or lie.
B
Or just be at one with yourself and close your eyes and start taking some beautiful deep healing breaths.
A
I love to do this through my nose.
B
So I'll take a deep breath in through my nose. Fill your lungs as far as you can, and perhaps when you've held it, your breath at the top, you can just start to gently let that out. Now you can do that through your nose. If you Wish, or if you prefer to do it out of your mouth. I'm not precious. Just take some really beautiful deep breaths in through your nose.
A
And let it out.
B
Do that again one more time. A deep breath in through your nose, holding at the top and then letting it out. Let your shoulders drop. Let your belly soften. Let your eyes relax. Maybe start to look with your eyes at the point between your eyebrows and focus there. Your crown chakra is on the top of your head and it might be feeling blocked and heavy. And in this space where your crown chakra is, it may feel very dark and stagnant and like a heavy boulder on the top of your head pressing down, you may feel like you're completely closed off, isolated, disconnected. I'm going to breathe in again and we're going to breathe in some beautiful, pure, warm air. And we're going to channel that up into your crown chakra at the top of your head. Breathe that air in and then we're going to breathe it out. But I want you to breathe out through your crown chakra.
A
Imagine as you breathe out, you're pushing.
B
That air through the crown chakra, and as you do, you're blowing away the debris, the little bits of dust. I'll do that again. Breathe in pure, warm.
A
Breathe in love.
B
And as you breathe out that love, pour love through that crown chakra again and watch the debris fly away. Watch the darkness go. Watch the cobwebs dissipate. Do that one more time. Breathing in, breathing in love, breathing in peace, breathing in freedom. And as you breathe it out, breathe it out through that crown chakra. And then what you're going to start seeing now is a beautiful Catherine wheel. A spiral. Your chakra is a spiral. And as you start to blow away the debris, what you're going to start to see is a beautiful white light, glowing, will start to glow from your crown chakra. This beautiful ethereal white light, violet perhaps, is starting to glow at the top of your head. Breathe in again. And as you breathe out.
A
That light.
B
That white light is starting to glow more. It's pulsating. And with every breath you take now, it's going to start to glow even brighter. And that light is going to start to transcend your entire body. Start to feel it. That light coming from your crown chakra is going to start to filter down through every part of your body, down through your mind, down through your throat, down to your heart, through your G centre, to your sacral, your solar plexus, your spleen and to your root. It's going to float down your legs and into your feet and into the earth beneath you. This beautiful white light is drenching you. You're feeling it surround your body, this beautiful white light. And as you feel it pulsating through your body, you're also going to start to feel it glowing upwards and out through your crown crown chakra, up and up and up into the ether. You're going to start to feel a connection to the divine, to the spirits, to the spiritual energetic grid around you. You may feel a connection to your God, a God to angels, to spirits, to the dragons and the unicorns and the magical and the mystical and the divine universal energies that surround us. You may start to feel a connection to the spirits of others, past and present, to the people that you have once loved, to the people that you love today. Because we are one, every single one of us is connected through our crown chakra energy in the divine connection, through the universal energies. As you start to feel this deeper connection, this strengthening of a connection to the energetic grid, your crown chakra is going to start spinning. Imagine it now, not only just as a white light, a ball of white light above your head, but now it's spinning, it's beginning to spin. And with each breath you're connecting deeper to your crown chakra. And your crown chakra is spinning faster and faster. It's becoming energetic, it's magnetic. As it spins, you're feeling a deeper connection. You can start to open up and listen to the wisdom within you, the messages that are being brought back from every single one of the chakras within you. You're listening to the whispers of the guides that surround. This is the divine connection from the divine within you and the divine outside of you. As you sit in stillness, you can speak the words or mantras that help you feel the most connected to the divine. Some of my favorites are are. I'm open to miracles. I'm open to the miracles of my manifestations. I'm surrounded and protected by divine light and divine beings. The light of the world nourishes my entire being and I am safe. I am connected to the energetic grid of conscious and unconscious. I am divinely guided. I awaken the spirits within me and I connect to the spirits around me. We are one. Feel the light of your crown chakra energy bathing you, surrounding you, supporting you and holding you. This is the power of the crown chakra energy. It.

My mission is to spread love, joy, peace and abundance to as much of the world as I possibly can so that every person knows that they don't have to walk alone in their darkness. So if you've enjoyed today's podcast and this episode, I would be so honored and happy if you would support my mission and share this with your network, your friends, and your family.
