Key Discussion Points & Insights
Introduction to Helen Ye Plehn
- Helen’s Multi-Hyphenate Background: Intuitive painter, certified crystal healer, angel channeler, generation Feng Shui master, yogi, meditation instructor, Vedic astrologer, theta healer, flamenco dancer, and more (04:00).
- Jessica’s Message: “If you’ve ever thought you had to choose one thing...let Helen’s multi-hyphenate journey be your inspiration. You don’t have to follow anyone’s path but your own.” (06:50)
Helen’s Spiritual Awakening & Path
- Early Life: Conformed to parental and societal expectations, nearly completed a PhD, but felt unfulfilled and suffered panic attacks (12:07).
- Turning Point: 2011 health crisis led her to ask: “Who am I? Why am I here? How can I truly be happy?” (13:07).
- Meditation as Healing: Meditation and yoga led to dramatic shifts: “Three months after daily meditation, I was off any anxiety and depression medication—from meditation alone. 20 minutes a day.” (14:36)
- Kundalini Awakening (2018):
“I had my first Kundalini awakening. Spontaneous, in meditation...My third eye was wide open; I was seeing things I wasn’t able to see before, including those spirit guides that I said didn’t exist.” (20:45)
- Power of Intention: If she had known about the quantum field and spirit teams earlier, Helen believes her awakening might have come even faster:
“If you actually set the intention and trust, you can access [this state] much faster.” (24:55)
Notable Insight:
- Spiritual hygiene is as essential as physical hygiene; daily, simple practices can lead to profound awakening (23:54).
Creating & Channeling the Aura Color Wheel™
- Professional Transition: From architecture to interior design to combining Feng Shui, crystal grids, and eventually developing her own system
- Soul Aura Explained:
- On Healing with Color:
“What is energy? Energy is just information that vibrates. Your soul aura tells me who you are, why you’re here, and how you can truly be happy.” (31:18)
- Channeled Book Deal: Helen recounts channeling her book and the miraculous Hay House contract—attracting the opportunity without an agent:
“Once the system was fully flushed out, I all of a sudden receive an email from Hay House…Of course I submitted. And of course I won the contract.” (33:19)
LIVE Aura Reading for Jessica (34:00-39:45)
- Helen sees aura “spectrums” and multiple gift archetypes in evolved souls:
“You are embodying three soul gift archetypes simultaneously right now: visionary, teacher, and healer—as well as entrepreneur.” (35:27)
- Aura analysis aligns with Jessica’s self-awareness and recent healing work; lower chakra colors (red, orange) have become more active as Jessica grounded more deeply.
Consent and Integrity:
“I only will do this when the other person invites me. At the beginning, I wasn’t in control—this gift is a responsibility.” (38:16)
System Overview: How the Aura Color Wheel™ Works
- 36 Soul Archetypes: Derived from a channeling of the Egyptian Dendera calendar and the 36 decans (45:32)
- Personal Discovery via Quiz:
- 20-question quiz reveals your soul gift archetype, soul wound, and soul lessons.
- “It’s a dynamic system—a bit like an evolutionary Enneagram, where healing and integration allow you to access more gifts.” (50:07)
- Why Aura?
“At a soul level, who are we? We are light. If we’re made of light, we’re composed of the seven rays—the chakras. That’s us.” “Your soul aura is your evolutionary blueprint.” (44:34)
The Soul’s Evolution and Multidimensionality
- Evolution as Purpose:
“Why are we here? We’re here to evolve. Soul evolution.” (45:07)
- Tools for Self-Knowledge: Aura work is presented as a true ‘new paradigm’—distinct from astrology, Enneagram, or human design (53:08).
Starseed Awakening & Spirit Team Guidance
- On Being Palladian: Both Helen and Jessica identify as starseeds and discuss their awakening to the Pleiadian lineage (with Helen’s vision in meditation and Jessica’s shamanic journey) (54:16-59:26):
“When you know, you have this true truth — chills full of your body, goosebumps. It was soul remembrance.”
- Spirit Teams: Everyone has a mix (angels, ascended masters, galactic beings, ancestors)
“Depends on who surrounds you; your guides reflect your multidimensional experience and life purpose.” (40:57)
- Channeling Information: Helen channels information through symbols, automatic writing, and direct communication with guides.
Bringing the System to the Masses: Book, Courses, Community (60:38)
- How to Engage:
- Ongoing Support:
“You not only have the book, you have me to support the journey with a community of like-minded souls.”
Purposeful Business and Divine Feminine Success
- Beyond the Hustle: Helen and Jessica emphasize “hustling” for meaning, inner peace, and collective thriving rather than burnout and survival (01:16 & 10:43):
“It begins with us. We have to stand out and share our light authentically, with no apology—a thousand percent. It’s a ripple effect.” — Helen (70:33)
Rapid Fire & Closing Reflections
