info_outline✨ Introduction:
In this episode, I sit down with Christine Lang—former New York attorney turned intuitive healer, energy translator, and author of the upcoming book Ask Your Spirit: Receiving Life-Changing Wisdom from Your Elevated Intelligence. Christine has spent nearly 30 years helping people decode the messages from their body, spirit, and nervous system—so they can stop feeling stuck and finally start living in alignment.
We dive deep into how to shift from chronic pain and fear into clarity, confidence, and true prosperity—without bypassing the messy human stuff.
💡 3 Life-Changing Takeaways:
-
Pain has a purpose—your discomfort is a wake-up call, not a punishment.
-
When you stop outsourcing answers and tune in, you unlock your truest wisdom.
-
Your nervous system holds the key to lasting abundance, not just mindset work.
🔑 Topics + Time Stamps + Explanations:
1. 🧠 The Real Reason We Stay Stuck in the Victim Pit
[05:48] “Make space to have the human reaction... when we try to cut that off by doing the spiritual thing of ‘I should just see it as beautiful,’ you're just doing suppression.”
Suppressing emotion under the guise of spiritual bypassing keeps stress trapped in the body. When people allow their emotional "tantrum" without judgment, they regain access to their clarity and personal power. Real healing begins when we acknowledge our humanity instead of shaming it.
2. 💥 Shift the Question, Change Your Life
[17:40] “Ask: Who do I become around each person? And which version of me do I like better?”
By focusing inward instead of asking disempowering questions like “Why are men like this?” or “What’s wrong with me?”, people begin to access elevated intelligence. Self-inquiry shifts from blame to embodiment—and choices become clearer and more aligned.
3. 🌀 Your Body is Speaking—Are You Listening?
[22:31] “Chronic symptoms are emotional stressors in concrete form. They hold a mirror to what you’ve stopped looking at.”
Chronic pain isn’t random or “just aging.” It's often an unresolved emotional loop the body is holding as a signal. When that stressor is decoded, transformation isn’t just physical—it’s energetic. Energy returns, emotional freedom is restored, and decisions become easier to make.
🔁 Notable Quotes:
“Sometimes your gifts from the universe come in really shitty wrapping paper.”
“Your spirit isn’t punishing you. It’s coaching you—lovingly—toward the freedom you keep asking for.”
“Every time you say, ‘I have a bad picker,’ your spirit says, ‘No, you’re just not listening yet.’”
“You don’t need to hustle to earn your healing. You need to receive the message.”
