  • Hey, it’s Marie Forleo, and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business

  • and life you love. And today I am so excited. You know why? The world is ending! Oh my God!

  • The Mayans told us the world... No it’s not, I’m just kidding. The world is not

  • ending, but many people think it is. And in a certain respect it is. But to explain exactly

  • what I’m talking about here and all this craziness, I have one of my dear friends,

  • Miss Ofie from AstroStyle.com.

  • Hey hey!

  • Ofie, thank you so much for being here.

  • Yeah.

  • So I know, you know, weve talked a lot about this episode on the team about how,

  • you know, there’s been a lot of conspiracy theories and a lot of websites devoted to

  • the fact that the Mayan calendar ends. Is it December 21st?

  • 2012 supposedly.

  • Yes, yes, yes, yes. And when you and I were talking, because we like to talk about this

  • and were fellow Sagittarius sisters...

  • Yup, that’s right.

  • ...you were telling me that, in some respects, the world is coming to an end.

  • Yeah, the world as we know it is ending.

  • Yes.

  • Which means, you know, the... the planet ravaging, greedy, you know, whatever I can sound like

  • a conspiracy theorist already now but... yeah.

  • No, but it’s kinda good. So all of that I wanna get it for me and I need to get mine

  • and...

  • Exactly.

  • ... hold on to it.

  • That divisiveness is kinda ending. It’s time for us to work together.

  • Can’t we all get along?

  • I know.

  • Yes.

  • I’ve got the giggles and, like, were talking about this kumbaya stuff now.

  • No, but I like it.

  • I love it.

  • I was gonna say, I happen to be a very kumbaya kinda girl myself. So astrologically speaking,

  • because one of the things I love about you and your sister, who you guys work together,

  • is how precise you are with your astrological readings...

  • Thank you.

  • ...and youve given me some great advice over the years as it relates to my business

  • and my life.

  • Mmhm.

  • So tell us a little bit about what’s happening. So, I know... so it’s ending of this old

  • era. Can you go a little deeper on that?

  • Yeah. It’s actually like a, you know, 26,000 years ago that’s ending. It’s called the

  • turning of the ages and basically, you know, the Mayans have all these prophecies and that

  • kinda thing but, you know, even the exact date is not necessarily accurate. You may

  • have even felt 2012 more in 2011, which is, you know, the idea behind it is just that,

  • you know, it’s moving people toward oneness and unity and not being so separate, not only

  • going after our own thing, not destroying the earth in our quest to succeed, and not,

  • you know, destroying each other thinking we have to compete.

  • Yes.

  • And some people say it’s moving from, like, a 3 dimensional to a 4 dimensional reality.

  • That sounds a little, you know...

  • I love that though.

  • It’s kinda cool, right?

  • And I have to say, it’s really cool. And I happen to be a fan of everything that has

  • to do with, you know, spirituality and other worldliness and, of course, sci fi.

  • Oh yeah.

  • Now, I’m not saying that’s where youre going, but talk to me more about... tell me

  • the difference. What is 3D versus 4D?

  • Well, the 3 dimensional world is based on your 5 senses. It’s everything we can see

  • and touch and smell and taste and experience with our senses. And that’s what, you know,

  • civilization has been built on so far, the whole, you know, the business world has been,

  • you know, built on that. It’s like you provide a service, you get this money. You have this

  • much in your bank account. It’s what we can measure and quantify and that sort of

  • thing.

  • Ok.

  • And... but as weve expanded our consciousness, weve gone to the fourth dimension, which

  • is the energy field around us. It’s what... it’s the things that are happening, you

  • know, our friend Gabby Bernstein would call it manifesting or miracles. It’s... it’s

  • the things that you know are happening, but you can’t explain them. You can’t even

  • necessarily say why. It’s just you have a sense that, you know, youve thought of

  • something and then you see it. You know? And...

  • It happens.

  • Yeah, it’s a coincidence.

  • So do you feel that collectively in terms of consciousness then, all of us, hopefully,

  • are moving towards a greater awareness of energy? A greater awareness of intuition?

  • A greater ability to tap into, perhaps, things that we can’t necessarily see or feel? Is

  • that what I’m...?

  • I wish I could say that all of us are, but it feels, especially this year, that it’s

  • getting more and more polarized. You know? You even see, like, with the recent hurricane

  • in New York that, you know, some people became very communal and other people became very

  • even more selfish. You know? Like, “Well, I... I’ve got power,” or whatever.

  • Right.

  • So I think the collective consciousness is moving in the direction of being more spiritual

  • though. People are, you know, like, I’ll talk to people in my readings about past lives

  • and they don’t bat an eye. I’ll sometimes be like, “Well, you know, there’s this

  • part of your chart that deals with past lives. I know that might sound a little crazy.”

  • And theyll be like, “No, no. Tell me more.” So...

  • And has that changed for you? Because, you know...

  • Yeah.

  • ...your experience, youve been doing this for a while. You find that people are a little

  • bit more open?

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah. Interesting.

  • I don’t have to explain things as much. Theyre like, “Yeah, I get it.” Or,

  • “I read about that.” Or, “I did a teleclass.” I think the internet has helped with that

  • spread of information too.

  • Awesome.

  • Yeah.

  • So, I know you came today helping us prepare for the new world so to speak.

  • Mmhm.

  • The year to come and some of the shifts in the consciousness that were gonna see.

  • So let us know, what’s the first thing that we should be paying attention to as we get

  • ready for the new year?

  • Well, I think it’s, you know, what you wanna prepare to have or the shifts you wanna prepare

  • for in yourself. So what do you need to really thrive in the post 2012 world? Well, were

  • gonna need more spiritual and energetic tools. You know? Whether that’s taking a transformational

  • workshop, whether it’s just cultivating more self awareness, moving your body, you

  • know, listening to your intuition, you know, wherever you are, just aim to go a little

  • deeper with it or develop it because it is... it’s actually a business tool now to follow

  • your intuition and be in touch with your purpose and your soul. So that’s, you know...

  • That’s the first step?

  • Yeah.

  • So to really deepen our spiritual practice, if we have one, or if we don’t have one,

  • to get interested in having one and choose one.

  • Yeah, but it can even be, you know, like, you know, I’m... I have a hard time meditating.

  • I don’t like to sit still that much...

  • I know.

  • ...unless I’m doing something.

  • Yeah.

  • But you can be meditating while youre riding your bike or something. You know? Someone

  • called it a moving meditation.

  • Yes.

  • You know, whatever it is that gets you in the zone.

  • Cool.

  • There’s no... you don’t have to sit on a cushion and ohm, but if you want to go ahead.

  • You know?

  • Right.

  • So that’s one thing. Another thing is, you know, I like to say, you know, to move from

  • waiting to creating. You know, a lot of the times in a 3 dimensional world weve been

  • taught you wait for your paycheck, you wait for your clients to come, you... you wait

  • and things happen. And in a 4D world, we have to acknowledge we have a lot more power than

  • that. You know? We need to actually be the ones to go out and... and just, it’s like

  • youre tuning your energetic field a little. You know? Like, you can... we can actually

  • bend time.

  • Well, I love this.

  • Yeah.

  • Let’s talk about creating versus waiting for a minute, because that’s really exciting

  • for me as a girl who loves to kind of take control of situations and make things happen.

  • I think that it... also, it’s really healthy. Rather than being passive and expecting the

  • world to deliver things to us or, you know, expecting things to just happen just because

  • were sitting around, to actually go into the action of creating it or cocreating it

  • with people around us...

  • Exactly.

  • ...and with the universe in general.

  • Exactly. And that’s, you know, the myth of aloneness is the thing that 2012 is really

  • about, you know, trying to do away with. The higher energy of 2012, it’s like were

  • always in relationship with people whether we acknowledge it or not. So, you know, and

  • were always cocreating with the universe even when we worry...

  • Yeah.

  • ...were cocreating blocks. You know? I was on my way here and we hit all this traffic

  • and I found myself, you know, be like, “Oh, shoot. I’m gonna be late,” and this and

  • that. And so I was like, “Let me email them over there and tell them there’s some traffic,”

  • and then instantly the traffic cleared up. Because that’s, you know, because I moved

  • the energy out of my mind, the block out of my mind that was picturing that.

  • I love that.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah. So you took your worry, which could be like a form of waiting or cocreating even

  • more worry or more blockages and you said, “Let me just send them an email.” And

  • I have to tell you, we didn’t even notice because...

  • Exactly.

  • ...we were doing our previous interview, everything was running smoothly. But that’s great,

  • really, really great.

  • Yeah. So when you feel negative energy in your body, we all need to get more in tune

  • with our bodies too. And, you know, I’m a girl who likes to eat for pleasure whatever

  • I find but, you know, like, you know, feeding your body living things is important too,

  • moving it, you know, you know from your own past...

  • In dance.

  • ...in fitness and dance, so.

  • Absolutely.

  • You know, how you can receive more messages from that fourth dimension when youre in

  • touch with your body, because the body houses the emotions and intuitions.

  • Yes.

  • So, you know, learn about the chakras. I know that sounds a little funny, but, like, each

  • one does represent, you know, if your chest is constricted, maybe you have some blocked

  • heart energy. You know, I’ve started to just... that kinda stuff has started just

  • to come out of my mouth in my readings with people and I’ve started to just let those

  • sort of blurts come out and it’s important that we all do that. You know?

  • Yeah. And I do wanna just put a little pin in this idea that so much wisdom lives in

  • our bodies. It’s something that I did learn a lot through fitness and in my career in

  • dance, but also my... my honey, my fiance Josh Pice, one of the things that he taught

  • me was that intuition and creativity live in your body, not in your mind. And I’ve...

  • that’s always stuck with me. And I know that whenever I find myself blocked, if I

  • build in more working out or more movement or more dance, everything seems to flow better.

  • Exactly.

  • So I’m happy to hear that that’s one of the things that we can all collectively do

  • to really thrive in the new year.

  • Absolutely. And it... even if it’s just a little dance party for 5 minutes or something

  • like that.

  • Dance break!

  • We all love a dance break, I mean, you know, that scene is frivolous in a 3D world but

  • in a 4D world it’s actually an intelligent thing to do. It’s part of business. You

  • know?

  • Yay! Thank sweet heavens!

  • I know!

  • That’s awesome!

  • It’s like work in a beautiful place, take in beauty, this... I’m hoping that 2012

  • is the end of the cubicle era, but I hope... but I know it won’t be. But, you know, let’s

  • move away from it. Like, why not have flowers, a chandelier, pretty things, a pet? You know?

  • Whatever...

  • Yeah.

  • ...to, you know, if that stimulates your productivity and creativity, you know, I think the virtual

  • working situation a lot of people can do has allowed us to put ourselves in environments

  • that stimulate that flow, so.

  • Yes. That flow of energy. I love it, that’s awesome. So let’s talk a little bit, I know

  • you had mentioned our ability to bend time.

  • Yeah. Mmhm. And that was something, you know, my taxicab example was bending time. We bend,

  • you know, in a 3D world, time is just a finite, scarce resource.

  • Yes.

  • There’s 24 hours in the day. Although I’ve heard people say, “Well, the president has

  • the same 24 hours in the day as you do.”

  • Yes.

  • Which is a good point.

  • Yes.

  • But in a 4D world, time is really... it’s liquid, it’s elastic. It’s like have you

  • ever noticed, you know, when youre bored it’s like the day drags on forever.

  • Yes.

  • But when youre in the zone youre like, “Oh, wow.” No, you know...

  • It flew.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • Exactly.

  • So there’s kind of this more awareness of fluidity and, with your taxicab example, you

  • know...

  • Yeah.

  • ...it’s like the traffic cleared up and you were able to move much more swiftly...

  • Mmhm.

  • ...seemingly pretty quick.

  • But I also wanted to be where I was going, so that has a lot to do with it too. You know,

  • knowing your purpose, that’s what I help people with a lot in the readings.

  • Yes.

  • And as we talked about in your reading, there are two points in the chart. These two destiny

  • points called the north and the south node. Theyre actually the poles of the moon.

  • And one is what you were in your past lives and one is what your... what your ultimate

  • karmic purpose is in this lifetime.

  • I love that.

  • It’s really awesome. They change every 18 months so, you know, you come in with this

  • sole group of people, within 18 months of your birth... 18, 19 months, and youre

  • all here to sort of move away from this energy that you... well let’s... I wouldn’t say

  • move away. It’s like... should I give an example?

  • Sure. Absolutely.

  • So you have a Taurus south node and a Scorpio north node. Theyre always opposites. So

  • your past life energy is Taurus and Taurus is all about the material. It actually is

  • the 3D world. Theyre both signs of money and abundance, but Taurus is, like, the money

  • you make, like, in a paycheck. It’s... it’s Wall Street, it’s the old money, it’s

  • the you do this work, you get this amount. And you know you have a very traditional business

  • background. So, you know, that’s your expertise from all these past lives. You may have been

  • a banker in a past life or something like that.

  • Interesting.

  • I know. So we gravitate toward that, but then we feel like this... there’s gotta be more

  • than this. And that’s when we start to realize that, you know, signs of our north node. Your

  • north node is Scorpio. Scorpio is a sign of transformation, spirituality, other people’s

  • money, collective resources, you know, pooling resources, helping people transform scarcity

  • conversations. So... so here youve come from this Taurus background and maybe you

  • weren’t as into spirituality at first and youve gradually grown more interested in

  • it because this... youve found that that’s your purpose. So youre helping people transform

  • their feelings about money into a more spiritual, meaningful way.

  • Yes. Well, that’s certainly true. It’s been true of my work, I think, for certainly

  • the past 4 years, but it seems to be growing more and more in that direction, which is

  • fascinating.

  • Yeah.

  • So I think you... do you have a resource on your site that people can...?

  • Yeah, I do.

  • That people can find out their own north and south nodes?

  • Yup.

  • Ok.

  • It’s on the homepage, you can scroll down where it sayspast life astrology.” You

  • can go to the features section.

  • Yes. So what well do if youre watching now and youre like, “Oh my God, I wanna

  • find my own nodes!” Don’t worry about it. Under this episode were gonna put a

  • link and give you directions, so no need to scramble.

  • Absolutely. You do wanna find it, it’s a beautiful, shortcut to be like, “This is

  • what I’m here for. Ok. And this is what I have to struggle with or overcome or, you

  • know, merge together to get there.” So youre never gonna abandon your Taurus south node

  • business skills, but youre gonna give them to women, youre gonna bring them to giving

  • back and that kinda thing, so.

  • Ok, so Ofie, awesome. I know youve got two more ways to help us thrive in this post

  • 2012 world.

  • Yup. So one way is to really join forces and resources with people. You know, it’s the

  • end of the doing it all alone...

  • Yes.

  • ...get my little corner of the earth and hold onto it. You know?

  • Yeah.

  • The joy of the 4D world is in sharing and having community.

  • I love that...

  • Yeah.

  • ...because I am such a big collaborator and I love hanging out with people...

  • Totally.

  • ...and I have to say, you know, one of my experiences with the recent hurricane not

  • too long ago was just so many groups of friends sharing resources. And not even friends, but

  • people in the neighborhood and just the community coming together.

  • Yeah.

  • And I just felt my heart just overflowing with love and it was amazing.

  • My dad is Israeli, he grew up on a kibbutz. And it’s a little more structured, but I

  • think a little bit of that model...

  • Yeah.

  • ...where, you know, a bunch of moms help each other take care of the kids or dads too or...

  • Yeah.

  • ...you know, youve got a desk, I need a desk. Let’s work together in the zone, let’s

  • set the rules, well do quiet time from this... you know?

  • Yeah.

  • Like, work it out. Do some potlucks, do some rideshares, you know, whatever it is that

  • you need. It reduces the carbon footprint and you have more fun.

  • Yeah. Oh, I love that.

  • Yeah.

  • Ok, so sharing resources, and what’s the second one?

  • Yeah. And then the last one is, you know, the one baby... we don’t wanna throw out

  • with the bathwater of the 3D world is the sensuality of being around other people. You

  • know, were... it’s a virtual world, it’s a beautiful thing, but we need some real,

  • live human interaction. You know?

  • Yes.

  • Mother Teresa said the most terrible poverty is loneliness, and I really like that quote.

  • I love that.

  • Loneliness and feeling unloved. And when you isolate yourself, that’s what happens. So,

  • you know, we need to actually be a lot more proactive about creating communities that

  • are open and welcoming and self sustaining. And, you know, and not competing but helping

  • each other be competitive and all win and thrive.

  • Yes.

  • Utopian, sure, but hey.

  • Yeah.

  • I’m a Sag, that’s how I like it.

  • That’s right. That’s right. But I like that spending more time with real people because

  • I think, again, for all of us, especially if we have businesses that we can run from

  • our homes or we kind of work in a way where were just in the computer, you know, 8,

  • 10, 12 hours a day and then you go home and youre kind of just beat, you know, having

  • a full social life and hanging out with real live people sometimes you don’t really make

  • it a priority. But I love to hear that that’s part of thriving in our post 2012 world.

  • Definitely.

  • So you know what we like to do here on MarieTV, we always like to challenge our audience to

  • take the wisdom of today and put it into practice. So here’s what weve got for you today.

  • I want you to choose just one of the ways that Ofie shared with us about how you can

  • thrive in a post 2012 world and tell us about it in the comments below. So do you want to

  • deepen a spiritual practice? Do you wanna really focus on sharing more resources or

  • maybe it’s about making some time in person with other people more of a priority. So think

  • about what really resonated for you and tell us what’s the one piece that youre gonna

  • focus on to help yourself thrive in 2013 and beyond. So, Ofie, thank you so much for being

  • here today.

  • Oh, thank you.

  • It’s awesome. I’m really happy to know that the world isn’t really ending and it’s

  • really exciting to hear about the 4 dimensional world which is a lot more in tune with energy,

  • a lot more in tune with some fun things that I don’t think many of us have played that

  • much with yet.

  • No. There’s a lot more to go.

  • It’s awesome.

  • Get us to 5D.

  • Yes, whatever the hell that is.

  • Exactly.

  • It sounds awesome.

  • Yeah.

  • So, for you, if you like this video, like it and share it with your friends. And, of

  • course, if you want even more great resources to create a business and life that you love,

  • plus some personal insights from me that I only talk about in email, get your buns over
