Now let's see what exactly is unfolding for you in October, because this is a month you will never forget.
37
There's something crazy going on.
38
Something crazy is happening for you.
39
Literally the first card that we pulled is metamorphosis.
40
metamorphosis you are about to go through a massive transformation in the month of October
41
like you are about to become unrecognizable you your life your
42
beauty your job your career your relationships everything is about to
43
become unrecognizable you are about to transform baby you are about to transform
44
and you know what's so interesting is this transformation isn't going to be, it's not going to be painful.
45
A lot of change comes with pain because, you know, there's always growing pains when we're evolving, when we're growing.
46
Change isn't always fun to go through, even though it's usually rewarding.
47
This transformation that you're about to go through is about to be one that feels good.
48
It is going to feel so good.
49
There's no part of you that's going to feel like it
50
is a painful process it is going to feel right it is going to feel good
51
and you are actually going to have this level of curiosity
52
that you're approaching this change with like you're going to be
53
the one who's initiating some of this change I don't know
54
if maybe you're planning on taking some sort of chance on
55
yourself in the month of October maybe there's a new direction you're headed in for your career maybe you're moving
56
or switching cities maybe you are starting a new relationship, there's going to be a lot of change happening in every single category of your life.
57
Universe is telling me embrace this change, get curious and find out what's on the other side of it.
58
There's nothing to be scared about with this change.
59
This metamorphosis, this transformation, it is so good for you and it is going to feel good.
60
There's not going to be a feeling of loss.
61
A lot of times when we have change in our life, even though we're gaining something new we also feel the loss
62
of what's no longer going to be in our life not
63
this transformation this transformation is going to be all gains the
64
whole way through it's going to feel amazing what do we pull here
65
you were going to be on a healing journey as well
66
wow wow october is going to be a healing month for
67
you what have you been going through yeah something traumatic has been going on
68
something really emotionally intense you've been through a lot I think the last few years have really tested you
69
you've been going through a lot.
70
And I think there's a lot that you don't realize.
71
Okay, here's what's happening.
72
Okay.
73
I think there's a lot
74
that you've been through in the last few years that's really taken a toll on your emotional and mental health, your spiritual health.
75
And I think because you're so used to being strong all the time, you are so used to being this strong person who's reliable, who's there for everybody.
76
You're so used to being strong
77
that you've kind of like suppressed how much you're hurting and because of
78
that it's been showing up as blockages in different areas of
79
your life I think there's a part of you that's been
80
wondering why is it my manifestation happening yet how come I'm praying I'm meditating I'm being spiritual I'm being connected
81
and things aren't working out for me yet there's a lot of like doubt arising
82
because you haven't gotten what you want yet i think this is really important for you to hear
83
so listen to me very carefully you haven't gotten what you wanted yet
84
because there's a lot underneath the surface
85
that you haven't addressed yet i want you to think about it this way
86
if you are asking oh okay wait here let me give
87
you a visual example okay i have my lip balm right here okay
88
and i'm holding it in my hand let's pretend
89
that this lip balm is past pain or trauma or things
90
that aren't serving you in your life okay
91
and you're holding on to it it's in your life
92
and you're here asking the universe universe give me what i
93
desire please give me what i want you're asking god you're praying
94
and the universe is trying to give you what you want
95
let me use another item here um we'll use my phone stand
96
and the universe is here trying to give you what you desire
97
but there's no space in your life for you to hold it
98
so it keeps slipping you by it feels like you're close
99
but you never fully get it because you're still hanging on to the old trauma
100
and the feelings that you haven't addressed yet and
101
so i think this is why this transformation in October is going to be
102
so spectacular and
103
so literally life -changing like this is a once in a lifetime transformation you're about to go through is
104
because you are about to take the pain
105
that you've been going through the pain
106
that you've gone through the shit that's happened to you
107
and you are about to finally heal it and
108
because you heal it and because you address it you're going to be able to, boom, let it go.
109
And then you're going to be open and ready to receive what you desire.
110
The universe has been trying to bless you with your desires.
111
The universe has been trying to give you your manifestation.
112
And I feel like you know it too, because you've been seeing signs.
113
Maybe you've been seeing angel numbers.
114
Maybe you've been seeing specific colors.
115
Maybe you've been seeing your spirit animal everywhere.
116
Maybe you've been receiving signs or readings that have been telling you that like your manifestation is here.
117
It's close.
118
It's coming and that's
119
because it is it really is however you just haven't had
120
the bandwidth you haven't had the space to be able to receive it
121
so that's why it keeps feeling like it's eluding you it keeps feeling like it's not arriving
122
because you haven't had the space to be able to actually
123
hold it however in the month of october you are about
124
to go through this metamorphosis remember the first card we pulled metamorphosis metamorphosis is what a butterfly goes through
125
when it transforms from a caterpillar into a butterfly.
126
If you didn't know what metamorphosis is, metamorphosis is the process of becoming a butterfly.
127
That is why this is so incredible because a caterpillar only becomes a butterfly once in its life.
128
It only goes through that massive transformation one time.
129
This is a once in a lifetime transformation you are about to go through in the month of October
130
that is going to feel so good, so right.
131
You are literally going to feel your wings sprouting out of your back
132
and you are going to take flight for the first time
133
everything that you have been doubting about yourself
134
or about the universe is finally going to make sense
135
and it's finally going to happen for you
136
and it has a lot to do with this healing
137
that you're going to be doing the universe is going to
138
guide you through a healing process i think you are naturally going to feel
139
so at peace so relieved you are finally going to be relieved of any trauma that you've been suffering with, October is the month when you heal.
140
And this healing, man, it is going to open so many doors for you.
141
It is going to be like so many new possibilities, so many opportunities coming your way.
142
Like I'm literally seeing visions of like everything you've been hoping for and praying for.
143
Finally being able to come through into your life that's going to be like you unlocked a floodgate
144
and your life is just overflowing with abundance and miracles.
145
It's going to feel so easy.
146
The month of October is going to feel so easy to the point
147
that you're going to wonder why life was even difficult before.
148
It's just going to feel so easy and so in flow that you're going to be like, I don't even remember the way my life used to be.
149
You're not even going to remember it.
150
I think you need to keep in mind that right now you are a caterpillar.
151
Your time is coming to become a butterfly very soon
152
and I mean imagine being a caterpillar you're literally wondering like you see all your friends flying around becoming butterflies
153
and you're like I don't look like a butterfly I feel like one
154
but I don't look like one where are my wings how come I don't look like my friends around me
155
or other people
156
and I think you've been comparing yourself to other people's lives
157
maybe you've been comparing yourself to your own ideal of who you want to be
158
and it's been keeping you in this state of doubt not realizing
159
that babe you were born to be a butterfly your time is coming it's inevitable.
160
All caterpillars must become butterflies.
161
It is inevitable that you will have your moment.
162
October is just finally the month that you've been praying for.
163
It's finally your time.
164
Oh my God.
165
I could cry.
166
Every time this card pops up, it makes me want to cry it literally says home you
167
are gonna finally feel at home at peace with who you
168
are what your life has finally become you're gonna feel at home there's this song
169
that plays in my head every single time this card pops up
170
and it's called welcome home it's called welcome home son
171
and it's by radical face and this song always pops into my mind
172
when this card comes out and the song makes me
173
so emotional because it feels like coming home i want you to listen to
174
that song i want you to play that song and i want you to visualize coming home to yourself
175
your life finally working out the way you wanted it to everything finally going not just according to plan, but better than according to plan.
176
You're finally going to be at home.
177
You're finally going to feel at peace.
178
You're finally going to feel like it all makes sense.
179
Everything you've gone through, all of the pain, the hurdles, the trauma, the difficulties,
180
they're all going to finally make sense because you're going to come home.
181
Your entire journey and your path will make sense Because it was all leading you to coming home to yourself, becoming that butterfly, going through this transformation,
182
becoming this elevated version of yourself who can fly.
183
I literally could cry every single time.
184
Anytime that song comes on, anytime I pick that card, it is a very beautiful card.
185
oh i need another card to give me some more context here
186
oh wow i've literally never pulled these cards before i use
187
this deck a lot i've never pulled these cards before we
188
pulled two this one upheaval this one leadership i think there
189
is going to be a period of time where things feel a little chaotic right before they figure themselves out.
190
Maybe you're already going through that period right now.
191
It's almost like things have to get worse sometimes before they get better.
192
And the fact that we even pick the vulture is
193
so telling of what you're going through because right now it feels like everything is falling apart maybe.
194
Maybe it's been feeling like that for some time.
195
You have to know that that is for a very particular reason.
196
The vulture in general is one of the only animals
197
that can eat a dead carcass and turn something that is as brutal as death into fuel and food.
198
The fact that we have the vulture is telling me that this alchemization process,
199
this transformation, imagination this metamorphosis that you're about to go through is about to be so fruitful for you
200
you can't even comprehend it yet like even the parts of your life
201
that feel like there is absolutely no goodness in them like i know there's things
202
that you are going through
203
that you're like soma how could this possibly be good for
204
me how could the universe possibly give this to me how could this possibly be good?
205
I cannot see the bright side in this.
206
I can't see the silver lining.
207
I can't see the glass half full.
208
It doesn't make any sense.
209
You might be thinking that right now.
210
there are things that even i can't explain
211
or be able to share with you because it will only make sense
212
when you're at the other side of it the same way
213
that it doesn't even make sense how a vulture can turn death
214
and a rotting corpse into fuel and food
215
and life again is the same way
216
that i can't even explain how the terrible things you've been through are about to turn into your biggest one.
217
This is so much bigger than I thought it was going to be.
218
This is so much bigger.
219
You are about to change other people's lives with your transformation.
220
You are about to impact other people too.
221
Your transformation is going to start a chain reaction that actually changes the trajectory of not just your life, but other people's lives too.
222
And that's where I think this leadership card is coming in.
223
Literally leadership.
224
You are going to be someone that people look up to
225
because of what you went through maybe i don't know maybe you're going to be like sharing your story
226
if you're going to be motivating and inspiring other people
227
if you're going to be like maybe other people have told you this before
228
but like whatever you've gone through you do need to share it
229
because what you've gone through is going to help
230
so many other people who are going through the same thing as you i don't know
231
if you've ever considered posting online about your story sharing it maybe writing a book about your life
232
but what you've gone through is so incredible
233
it's not just going to transform your life it's transforming everyone else's too i was like
234
so confused when both of these cards popped out honestly
235
because i was like the vulture popped out
236
and i was like what what is that
237
because literally the the whole time this transformation has been telling me it's going to be a painless transformation
238
but now it's making sense the vulture is not the pain the vulture is what's alchemizing the pain into something
239
that is fuel and food
240
and fruitful for everybody else including yourself it all makes sense
241
now it's like what you went through isn't just a transformation
242
for you it's going to be a transformation for the world
243
you are about to impact a shit ton of people with
244
your life your story your message your life lessons your wisdom even the bear wisdom
245

249

250

252
that you're about to get the rest of your life is about to be like
253
better and better and better and better like this upward this upward spiral of you
254
finally living in your life's purpose that's where i feel like
255
this bear is coming in this life purpose this wisdom this leadership you have a story to tell
256
and you need to promise me that you're going to tell
257
that story because there are a lot of people whose lives will be changed
258
because of you because of you imagine
259
that you didn't just go through what you went through in
260
vain it was not only just a purpose for yourself you were going to help
261
so many other people too i think you already are i feel like you're somebody
262
that people come through for advice already
263
that people can rely on you're somebody who is a very
264
good friend people think of you as a very good friend you are always there for people

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
