Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is Edna White
and you are on Keeping It Real. Today is gonna
be a special series that I am doing called A
Word From Me, where you get to hear my thoughts
and my words of wisdom firsthand. And I am excited
to present this part of the show because... It's
something that is really dear to me, and I'm
going to be sharing excerpts of, you know, a
lot of books that I've written and what contains,
you know, what's in them and how they started.
But more in depth, I'm going to be teaching you
things about yourself. And you know that most
of the time I speak about being stuck. So that's
what I'm going to be speaking about today and
why you are stuck. OK? You know that persistent
feeling of being stuck in a relationship that's
going nowhere, in a career that drains you, or
in a financial pattern that you keep repeating.
You see, it's not a sign of failure. You're doing
all the right things. It's a sign that you're
misaligned with the powerful spiritual keys that
your body holds. Yeah, I figured that out too.
Your body is a roadmap. Your chakras are the
energy centers of that map. And your physical
parts are the keys to the kingdom. The points
of authority you use to unlock your next level
of clarity and action. So we're going to take
a look at where feeling stuck and the specific
keys you need to turn to make everything line
up. Now, I wrote this book years and years ago,
and it was by the inspiration of Eugene Anderson,
who's a pastor that's been very near and dear
to my heart, who started me or who helped propel
me into my spiritual journey. He came to me one
day when he was visiting out here in New York.
He lives in Albany, Georgia. And he came to me
and said, here. And he took my hands, and he
handed me all these papers. And I was like, what
am I supposed to do with this? He says, you'll
know what to do. And he started reading some
of the parts. And I'm like, OK. I'm not comprehending
it. And he said, you will. You take this you
take all of this and turn it into something And
it was right after years after years after I
had went to him after my car accident in 2006
New Year's Eve to 2007 New Year's Day and He
had told me that out of me would come books and
tapes and deliverance for women. And this is
way before I knew what I was supposed to be doing.
And he said to me, which is an amazing thing,
to my daughter Rachel, who's my best friend Cindy's
daughter. She said, put her arm around me. He
said, you too will make some changes. You're
going to help her. And little did I know years
later, that she would help me to go to China
to live and open up another key to my life. So
I'm telling you this because all of this matters,
right? I didn't know what I was gonna write.
And so when I returned home, I then knew what
to do with these pieces of paper he had given
me. Okay, so it turns out that everything I learned
culminated in this road map regarding our emotions
and how they get stuck and how they they they
find themselves pinging along in our bodies okay
that make us sick and it's because we're stuck
And because we don't use these certain parts
of our bodies, like our mouths, to speak, our
minds to think, you know, like that, and breathing,
just breathing sometimes. And because we don't
do that, we end up stuck in positions. So let's
get to it. The map of unstuckness. We're gonna
attack emotions, chakras, and the keys, okay?
Number one, you're stuck in patterns and mindsets.
When you're stuck in those patterns and mindsets,
the key is your eyes. Say, what do you mean the
keys are my eyes? Here's the problem. Feeling
stuck in old patterns like self -sabotage or
procrastination or a limited mindset, you learn
this from the patterns of your past. And that's,
you learn them in the safe space. You get your
feelings or your emotions from the safe space,
from your parents or your caregivers that give
you either the feeling of a safe space or give
you the negative that's not so safe and you have
to protect yourself and therefore live in survival
mode and start limiting what you do. So if you
heard the words, you're not smart, you adapt
that. and that's a pattern that was given to
you, so you self -sabotage. I'm not smart. I'll
never be like that. So you start to self -sabotage.
You learn patterns from your parents, your caregivers.
If your parents out of guilt, they might teach
you bad habits like... letting you get away with
things, or letting you eat too much, or giving
you things you shouldn't have and know you shouldn't
have them, but because you're not there, they
give it to you anyway. Learning patterns. Or
you may have a pattern of maybe not knowing something.
Maybe when you learn years later in your life,
you saw your parents together and you thought
they were married. but didn't know. And that's
a pattern. So you saw what they were doing, what
they were going through, and it was easy for
them to separate and come back together, separate
and come back. So you were like, oh, you learned
a pattern. You learned a pattern. You learned
a pattern from your parents or caregivers who
talked about people. You learned a pattern. You
learned the casa. you learned a pattern. You
learned if your lights were off all the time,
your parents probably procrastinated because
they wanted something else and they did that
instead of that and then they just paid it when
they did and that you learned procrastination.
However it is, you learned it from your supposed
safe space, which is home, which is family. See,
you know what to do. Because I'm sure when you
saw that, you said, your brain said, your heart
said, that doesn't feel right. So you know what
to do, but you keep repeating the past in your
adult life. You keep repeating it. So what is
the emotion or the chakra surprise or the lack
of? and anticipation. See, when you think that
something's going to happen, you have anticipation.
Or you think that you believe that they're going
to, like a party, they're going to throw you
a surprise party, you have anticipation. Or if
you don't think they're going to do it, well,
there's, you have anticipation, right? You know?
So it's tied to, guess what? The chakra third
eye. intuition and insight. You're surprised
by the same bad outcome because you lack clear
intervention. So you keep doing the same thing
and being surprised that nothing has changed.
You're not surprised by that. The bad outcome
happens, you're not surprised. Or you are surprised.
You get it? And you keep doing it, expecting
a different outcome. You lack clear vision. And
that's like having fog in front of you, right?
And you're trying to peep out the sides, and
you only see one spot, but on this side is a
blind spot, or looking through rose colored glasses,
and you're seeing things as distorted. That's
what it's like. So what's the body key? Your
eyes, your eyes or your forehead. The spiritual
key here is knowledge, right? Everything that
your eyes see, you can mimic. Especially those
who love to see things and recreate it. They
can recreate it. Those who have, you know, that
visual. You know that they have to learn by visual
they can recreate or do anything just if they
see it, right? So this the spiritual key here
is knowledge when your vision is clouded by old
mental stories You can't see the path ahead So,
how do you unlock your eyes? by intentionally
seeking new perspectives. You can't have a closed
mind to everything. You have to have an open
mind with open ideas. You have to see an opportunity.
And listen, this doesn't happen regularly. You
have to do it. You have to consciously do it.
Where other people are open, you're not. You
have to consciously open your box of curiosity.
You have to open up your perspective all the
time. You have to challenge your core beliefs.
So if you believe that marriages won't work because
you saw them not working in your family, you've
got to challenge that. I'm not saying go out
and marry everybody, but you've got to challenge
that narrative. Is that really the truth, or
is it what you saw? and looking, and you gotta
look for evidence that that desired, that is
not right, but there's a desired future that's
possible. Okay? Many years I've experienced,
you know, the surprise factor and it never changed.
It was always a bad outcome. And I was hoping
for a different outcome, but it was always the
same. So what I learned, my, I was always waiting
for the, as an adult, waiting for the other shoe
to drop. I was looking for something that always,
something to happen and where the shoe was gonna
drop. It's not always in the same place, but
I was looking for something to happen, right?
The second thing is you're stuck in relationships
and the key to being unstuck and the key to that
is your mouth. So here's the problem. When you're
feeling stuck in relationships, personal or professional,
where you can't communicate your needs or you
feel unheard or powerless, you're not able, that's
the biggest problem. You're stuck because if
you're speaking to someone, they're not receiving
you or they're talking over you or they don't
hear you or you're afraid to speak. You're stuck
in a bad relationship, whether it be personal
or professional. And this is very important to
know because you can have a bad boss, or a bad
supervisor, or a bad manager, or a bad team leader.
And they're not willing passively, aggressively,
or aggressively. They're not willing to hear.
They'll hear you, but they won't listen with
the intent to give a solution or meet you where
you are. So you stay stuck in the job. So you
stay stuck in a relationship. The emotion that
you feel is disgust. It's the total opposite
of acceptance. See, when you're accepted, you
don't feel nothing but happy, but you're disgusted.
And that's tied to your throat chakra, which
is not only communication, but out of your throat
comes truth. You feel disgust for the situation,
but fear speaking. your truth. Now, what's the
body key to that? That's your mouth, your tongue.
Right? This is the key to proclaiming truth.
You can proclaim and you can tell the truth.
If you cannot use your voice, to articulate your
needs and your boundaries. You stay locked in
a dynamic for life if you don't consciously unlock
your mouth by practicing clear, kind, and firm
communication. You have to use your voice to
declare what you will. and will not accept. I've
seen people stay in marriages and pretend for
years. For years, everything's great. Everything's
wonderful. And stay in marriages because something
told them over there, in their past, that longevity
means success. But never mind, you're unhappy.
Never mind you're unfulfilled. Never mind you're
not doing anything together. Never mind there's
so much disgust. Never mind there's so much regret.
That's okay. Because you learned that over there.
That's a pattern. You stay together because you
saw your parents do it. Yet they were unhappy.
And now where are they? They're together but
unhappy. Doesn't sound good, right? When I say
it. Stuck in your career and your finances. The
key is the heart. Here's the problem. Feeling
stuck in a career that lacks purpose or repeating
financial scarcity cycles. These are matters
of worthiness and security. Feeling stuck in
a career that lacks purpose. You learn that over
here in your past. You learn that because your
father or maybe even your mother had to get a
job because economics. You learn financial scarcity
because they live paycheck to paycheck and said
to you, this is the only way we can do it. Or
modeled, this is the only way we can do it. Never
stepped out to learn about finances or learn
about how to do things financially, how to invest.
Never did any of that. never went into their
heart's desire to say, hey, maybe we should do
this. Financial scarcity. But these are the matters
of worthiness. They didn't feel worthy, and they
passed it on to you. And they didn't feel like
they had security, and they passed it on to you.
You see, the emotion that you're gonna feel and
the chakra you're gonna have is trust or lack
of it and joy. And that's tied to your heart
chakra, love and self -worth. When you don't
trust your value, you stay in jobs that underpay
or relationships. that underserve. You getting
the picture now? So what's the body key? Your
heart and your solar plexus, your core. It's
your core. These keys manage your personal power
and self -worth. You unlock your heart by practicing
radical self -acceptance. Accepting you as you
are and acknowledging your inherent earth that
that's here, not that out here, not your certificates,
not your licenses, not your doctorates, not all
that other stuff, not your education, but your
inherent or, you know, worth, you know, that
one that you had that when you were five, it
felt like you could conquer the world. You do
anything. could be a fireman, could be a police
officer, or the one when you were nine, I could
be a police officer. That one. Inherent. Do anything.
See, this aligns with your core power, your solar
plexus, so you can demand the pay, respect, and
purpose you deserve in your career and your finances.
So why am I saying all this today? because so
many of us get in a place, in a space that doesn't
service. And we stay in it, we stay involved,
we stay, you know, there. And it undermines us
even more. It takes away from our self -worth.
It just power drives us into the ground. Until
soon, our body starts reflecting that bad emotion,
and we have dis -ease, discomfort, and maybe
even cancer. But we're getting out of alignment.
These things can happen to us. Things can happen
to our bodies. Disturbances, diseases, chaos
can happen in our lives. And I don't want that
for you. You deserve the best thing in life,
and you should be there to receive it. You see,
if you've been searching for an external solution,
the word for you today is this, you are the solution.
The heavy feeling of being stuck is simply the
resistance of an unused spiritual muscle. You
have the keys to the kingdom. You have the authority,
the insight, the voice, and the trust in your
own anatomy. So start small. Focus on one key
today. If you're stuck in an old pattern, challenge
your eyes to see a new story. If you're stuck
in a relationship, use your mouth to declare
your truth. If you're stuck in a career, activate
your heart and insist on your worth. You are
fully equipped to unlock your kingdom. And if
you ever want to get my book, The Keys to the
Kingdom, it's available in Barnes and Nobles.
It's available in all bookstores just ask for
it the keys to the kingdom and start equipping

I'm the host of Finding Mr. Height, a dating
and relationship podcast that I've been doing
for four years now, sharing my positive and practical
approach to dating that's built on my own life
experience. And I wanted to share another experience
that I've had my secret behind monetizing my
show. It's called Red Circle. And I was just
telling my colleague about how much I love their
platform with Red Circle. Not only am I getting
a seamless hosting experience, but I also love
the support I receive in ad sales. It's not just
typical ad sales either. It's targeted opportunities
based on my show and my life. And the platform
is super simple. You just set your preferences
and Red Circle matches you with sponsors that

and their platform gives you great analytics.
More recently too, my Red Circle team has brought
me opportunities outside of my podcast on social
media to really augment the podcast partnerships,
bring them full circle. I just can't recommend
them enough. If you want to give it a try, go
