Your body is already telling you the truth, and it’s usually whispering long before your mind can argue with it. We talk about what it means to live as if your life is the spiritual path, not a project you’ll complete someday, but the messy middle you’re standing in right now. When we’re present and operating in coherence, guidance becomes surprisingly simple: expansion feels like a yes, contraction feels like a no. Even when we override that signal, we can treat the “miss” as information instead of judgment, because the falls are still part of the path.

From there, we move into frequency and toleration. As your frequency rises, what you can no longer put up with becomes obvious, and that’s not harshness, it’s love showing up as self-respect. We explore how the creative field mirrors our inner state, how our choices sculpt reality over time, and why conscience matters as much as consciousness when you’re deciding whether you’re reacting or creating. We also name a hard truth with a soft center: compassion without boundaries can drown you, and honoring someone else’s journey is sometimes the most loving thing you can do.

You’ll be guided through a practical visualization that drops you from mind to heart, helps you feel expansion and contraction in the body, and builds spaciousness between stimulus and response so you can choose your next step with intention. If the divine feminine is calling you toward something bigger, we talk about what that pull feels like and why “tests” often appear right before growth. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who needs steadier clarity, and leave a review telling us what boundary or brave yes you’re practicing next.

Turn Up Your Light Opening

Deep down, you have a sense that you are far greater than what you are. That sense is your own light, your own life force energy urging you to grow, to expand, and to become more alive with the truth that lights you up. I'm Joya. I'm a sound medicine woman, and I believe that your life is the way. Not a life you're building toward, not a someday version of yourself that you hope to get to, but this life right here, right now, in the messy middle, exactly as it is. In every episode, I will give you the real tools to narrow the gap between what you know and what you're being through ancient wisdom, drum medicine, conscious voice, and the living transmission of a path I didn't choose. It chose me. This is Turn Up Your Light. Let's begin. Hi everybody. This week I want to talk about what it looks like when your life is your spiritual path and you choose to walk in that way consciously, which means you become aware that everything you are experiencing is information on your path. When you're operating in coherence, in presence, then you're going to be informed if something makes you feel expanded or contracted within yourself. And I always say if it's an expanded feeling, it's a yes. If it's a contracted feeling, it's a no. And I really listen or try to listen to that. And then those times that I don't listen to it and I override it and I do what I want to do in that moment, that presence of self arises. Not as judgment, but just as witnessing and saying, treat this as information too. Don't let anything be outside of your spiritual path, including the falls from the path that's still the path. I'm reading from my journal now a download that I wanted to share with you. As your frequency changes, the frequency of your toleration level changes too. Your tolerations go down as your acceptance of love goes up. Love equals self-respect, self-honoring choices, not as the body, but in the body, allowing the soul its experiences of joy. Now that the wound can move aside, you create capacity for the light, which is joy, and not manic bliss, but a place within that holds every part of yourself in love and tenderness for the difficulty the vessel endured to hold the light of the soul. This means that the lesson was learned and the wound is healed. When you come into the conscious awareness that everything is the path, you become aware that every choice you're making is part of the path. And that path is telling you what kind of experience you're having when you pay attention to the path you're on. And you take complete responsibility for you as the creator. This is how powerful you are on this path that the external reality reflects your internal frequency. The universe responds to us, this field, don't even call it the universe, because this is we're talking about the creative field of the creator, which is the field that we all live within and work within, this field of creation that's constantly at work around us. When we have the eyes to see and pay attention, that the force that's growing the grass, the force that's budding the trees, the force that's making the flowers grow and is growing your children before your very eyes is the same force that we operate and create within. And it reflects back to us what we have created ourselves from the level of our frequency. And you know the level of your frequency by what you are allowing into your life. What are you putting up with in your life that you don't want to be putting up with in your life? Where are you playing it safe? Where do you know you should be showing up more and you're not, or where you should not be showing up so much where you still are? Anything that just feels that little discomfort that's out of alignment where we're not listening to the new voice that's coming online, which is the voice of our conscience. Not enough people talk about consciences. Your consciousness is one thing, that's your aliveness. But your conscience is how you interact with it, and your conscience is driven by your intention and your level of awareness of that intention, and how much you're operating on reactive mode or creator mode. Reactor and creator have the exact same letters. I've said this for years. Because as we move into these higher states of being, there's more love, there's more capacity, there's more empathy, there's more kindness, there's more compassion. None of that means that if you see somebody drowning, you jump in and save them. Because a drowning person will drown you. This is love with boundaries, because you respect and understand that everybody's on their own spiritual path. And people have to learn through their own self-revelation, just like you did, just like you're doing, just like I did, and just like I'm doing. Because no one can tell you what must be known. You can't read it in a book, you can't be taught by a teacher or by a guru or anybody else. You can understand the concept of it, but you have to have the experience of it yourself to really know it. And that's what all of this is about. This new energy that we are being asked to come into. We are it's not enough now to think about the divine feminine frequency. It's an it's a demand for the embodiment of it. And this frequency is not about weakness. The feminine frequency is creative, it's a creative force. A creative force. And a creative force creates with intention. There's no accidental creations in nature. And so we want to become intentional creators like that because that's what we are. That's what we are, and it requires just accepting today, right in this moment. My life is my path. What is the way I will walk it? And that's what I teach through the concept that Weston gave me, which I will be giving and sharing on this podcast, because it's so important. But you can start today just by simply becoming aware that your life is your spiritual path, and notice how you're walking it. Notice the choices you're making. Because our choices and our actions are how we sculpt the field of reality around us. I always say that we are the we are co-creators with the creator, and our sculpting medium is time. That's why it's so slow here for us to really hone our frequency and our creation frequency. So just notice today where am I on my path. Let's do a little practice here to visualize this path, to establish it within your heart, within yourself. So if it's safe, I invite you to close your eyes and take a deep breath into your heart. And I like to imagine that in my mind there's an elevator. And I push a button that has a heart shape that takes me to the heart. So visualize yourself pushing this little heart button in your elevator, and it's taking you down the flights between your mind and your heart, which takes as many floors as it takes for you. Let's say that we've gotten to the third floor, the second floor, the first floor. The elevator dings and the doors open, and you step out onto a path. Before you walk anywhere, just stop. Notice your feet on this path. What is the texture of the ground? What color is it? What's it made of? And then slowly look up. And as this path is revealed, just notice what's around you. Where are you? Where your path is right now at this moment. And notice that each time you take a step on this path, the reality around you changes just a little bit. A color, a ripple. With every step you take on this path, the things around you change based on how you're walking. Feel into your heart what makes you feel expansive. And now feel in your body what makes you feel contracted. Feel where those two spaces live inside of you. And they live together, informing you of what lights you up, what's true for you. When you're ready, just stop walking on your path and stay still. And notice the stillness inside of your body in this now moment. This is the space before a decision is made. And as you step into this space, just look how spacious it is, look how spacious you can make it. Install this now in your field, this spaciousness between stimulus and response that you have created here. And know that this is a space that you can step into every moment. This is your power. When you are ready, slowly open your eyes while keeping yourself here grounded in this present moment. Feeling that spaciousness with your eyes open. I invite you to move your hands very slowly in this space. Feel the spaciousness, feel yourself moving right at the edge of time. You're right in the present moment of the flow. Breathe out contraction. And allow them to both exist within you at the same time because they're giving you information about what choices you are making with your power. One of the strongest things that you can do for yourself is decide that what you are experiencing within yourself, experiencing within yourself is real for you. That you have a real soul mission. If you feel called right now, if you feel called to something and you don't quite know what it is, but you just feel there's something bigger pulling you, that's the frequency of the divine feminine right now. Feel that true self that wants to flow through you. And know that as you are growing, the temptations for that frequency are going to show up in your field because it's the growth that tempts us. That doesn't tempt us, it's it's like testing a frequency. Does this channel still work? Or is it time to expand to a new channel? Oh, this channel is not responding anymore to this. It's clear. Let's move to a different frequency now. And you've probably experienced this by things you've changed in your life already. So that is your practice. Notice where you are on the path, and when you feel contracted, you can choose in that spaciousness that you created and say, I am no longer available for that frequency and feel yourself expand in love. I am headed to Santa Fe this week on a girls' adventure. I'm very excited. I've been called there for about a year and a half, and two other girlfriends are called there as well. So we're gonna just go see what happens. So I'll probably be recording some stuff for that, during align this with my podcast next week, just about this open flow feminine frequency that we're gonna go step into. The three of us are sound healers, so that's gonna be just really powerful to be led and see what arises. And I can't wait to report back. That'll be my adventurous podcast episode of following that flow of spirit and seeing where it takes us. I invite you to download the eight-minute Turn Up Your Light meditation on my website. You can find that at turnupyouright.com, which is also the same as my name, joya Sasnowski.com. And I will see you next week, beloveds. And remember, you are so much more than you think you are. Turn up your light. Bye.
