Let’s get into the conversation now. Isabel Zimmerman, welcome. Tina, I’m happy to be here. You’ve been in the Widowhood not just on a show because you’ve actually supported us and done things already, but I guess this is an official welcome to the Widowhood. Some people are meeting me for the first time. Where are we meeting you from? Where are you located in the world at this moment?     Currently, I am in a little town called Spartanburg in South Carolina on the East Coast of the United States. Are you from there originally? I am not. I would say I’ve been blessed in living in many different places. My formative years were in Ohio, so I might be considered an Ohioan. In my adult years, I lived in Connecticut. Some people might call me a Yankee. I was thinking both of those places were cold. That’s what came to my mind immediately. What is the weather like in comparison to where you’re at and where you grew up? South Carolina is like spring here, so you can wear a light jacket. It’s warm and sunny. I mentioned that you have already supported the widowhood and I don’t want to do a disservice to the event that you supported. That’ll be a good way to segue into things you do and how you support other people. What do you think? That’s wonderful. Do you want to talk about the event you did for us? Tina and I met at a networking event and told her the work she’s doing is so important. My name is Isabelle Zimmerman and I’m an Ascension Teacher. What that means is that I help folks to connect to their spirit guides and to go into their soul field, which a lot of people would consider past life regressions. I’ve done over 1,000 regressions. I am very connected to spirit. I’m also a channeler. I would also consider myself, the new terminology, if you have not heard it, is called a lightworker. All that means is we assist our humans here, our friends here on this Earth to raise their vibration and connect to the unseen world, which are your spirit guides. Thank you for that. When you assisted us, I believe it was a meditation event before Christmas. Can you talk about like what that event was like and then maybe how it can be helpful for people who are grieving? Yes. Grieving is a process, whether it is this current incarnation or a past incarnation. Believe it or not, it is a process to grieve that loss, to feel that loss of love. That sadness can be very overwhelming and you can feel it in your body. Meditation allows you to release and soften that sadness. It allows you to be connected in the now moment. That meditation that we did, because I’m also certified in Heart Math and if you’re all inspired to look it up, it’s been around for 50 years. There’s a lot of science around it. There are extreme physiological benefits in meditation, but there are also spiritual benefits. Some people might consider prayer or connecting to nature, going for long walks or petting their animals. They get into a calmer state of mind. There are brain waves, theta, beta, delta, and alpha, and the theta brainwave is usually where I get the person for hypnosis, but you want to go into a calmer state out of beta, which would be anxious and into a delta. Tina, have you ever been able to sit in nature and feel this peace and calm?     Yes. If you’re not in nature, you can get that same feeling through meditation. Thank you for that explanation. Now, I want to circle back a little bit. You mentioned about feeling grief in your body. Can you elaborate on that a little bit more, please? Yes. Massage therapists understand that our emotions are stored in your body. There are many massage therapists now. There is a lot of empirical data. They have uncovered that when they massage their client, they will spontaneously cry and release emotions. If you want to know the why and the science behind it, I recommend you look up Candace Pert. She did not win the Nobel Prize because she worked for another scientist at the time, and he won the Nobel Prize. It was her work. It was the time in
