Inspired Action Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jaye McElroy & Leta Herman
In this pod, Jaye and Leta kick off Season 8 of the Inspired Action Podcast with a focus on authenticity and “True Qi.” They introduce the concept of the Thirteen Ghost Points from Chinese Medicine and their connection to achieving true authenticity. They explore how each element (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) can get “hooks” that interfere with our true selves, and discuss how the IAP Ghost Points series will help release these hooks. Listeners are invited to learn more in the Alchemy Learning Center for more in-depth classes, webinars and exploration and community support.00:41 Understanding Authenticity and the 13 Ghost Points02:10 Applying Ancient Philosophies in Modern Times02:57 The Power of Self Cultivation and True Qi04:31 Introducing the Ghost Points Series12:35 Deep Dive into the Philosophy of Ghost Points16:01 The Love-Hate Relationship with Hooks16:21 Understanding Life’s Curriculum17:22 The Nine Palaces and Elemental Types17:51 Wood Element: The Pursuit of Greatness23:26 Fire Element: The Importance of Relationships25:50 Earth Element: The Need for Belonging27:47 Metal Element: The Pain of Disconnection28:43 Water Element: The Desire to Matter30:16 Introduction to Ghost PointsThe Nine Palaces Cheat Sheet:1 – Career/Knowledge – Water2 – Relationship – Fire3 – Health – Wood4 – Weatlh – Wood5 – Home – Earth6 – Children/Creativity – Metal7 – Travel/Global – Metal8 – Wisdom – Water9 – Prosperity – Fire*****

Do you love music with a driving beat? Do you sometimes dance like you’re stomping or punching the air? Well, you might be Wood! Or you might just love Wood music.
Let the Five Elements set your music appreciation on fire and find your own Sound of Music inside of you!
Join Leta and Jaye as they explain the inspiring, driving music of the Wood Element.
Show Notes:
“So what is the music of getting the party started? It’s like, let’s go! Let’s go! So we say it’s a march. It’s marching music, and that means it’s emphasizing a heavy downbeat. And mostly it’s not syncopated, but the march style gives the song a sense of energy and forward momentum.”
- What is Wood music energetically? – A march
- Genres that tend to be more Wood – Rock, some Pop, a bit of Rap… even a Polka!
- Wood dancing – angular, stomping, punching the air, energized and athletic like the Kazachok Russian dance
- Wood singers: Madonna, Pink, Lady Gaga, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Celine Dion, and Jennifer Lopez… Eminem, Frank Sinatra, Mick Jagger, Stephen Tyler, Axel Rose, Angus Young, Eddie Van Halen, Johnny Cash, Garth Brooks, Darryl DMC, Kanye West, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre…
- How the second Element affects Wood music
- Stay to the end for a chuckle!
“And I think every wood person wishes they could be more patient, especially when they feel frustrated. It’s like just being able to pause for a minute and rethink before totally going off on someone.”

The post 108 – What’s Your Vibe? Discover and Find your Inner Divine DJ appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.
So remember, living in a state of anticipation...this is water. And hopefully that anticipation is like a really wonderful feeling of exciting events in the future. But we always say your greatest gift can be your worst nightmare for every element. So this excitement for life can also be dread and terror for life when life is potentially delivering bad stuff in the future.
The post 107 – Anticipating or Participating? – How do Waters Flow with a Free Heart? appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.
For Metals, a Free Heart can mean the difference between flying and falling. How can the Metal Elemental type free their hearts and fly free in life? Can you let the power of the Metal Lungs let go of deep-seated anger and jealousy to fly their magic carpet through life instead of falling and going splat?
“If you can say that you always do this particular thing whenever that particular situation happens, the question is why … and at the core of this is the idea that those issues probably come from your heart pains, which come from past experiences that we can’t let go of, and are haunted by — even if it’s completely unconscious.”

https://chrt.fm/track/5E3D1B/traffic.libsyn.com/inspiredactionpodcast/IAP106-Final.mp3What are the Metal tentacles of the heart ? Update from Alchemy Learning Center: Dai Mai Livestream Course Coming up on April 16! * Learn about the Master Alchemy Apprenticeship Program! 2023 cohort now open for enrollment * Apathy and Deep Seated Anger are the the primary tentacles for Metal people (bonus: Temptation and Jealousy). * The Yin nature of Metals makes them more reserved and observant – less “overly involved” – so more prone to retreat and shutting down. * A Metal person’s nightmare could have them feeling disconnected and unable to find the way back. * The Apathy is the feeling that they’d rather do nothing — life is just too painful — when they’ve experienced deep trauma and the disconnect can feel all encompassing. * Apathy can be a mechanism where total surrender of CONTROL (especially in instances of trauma and abuse) allows for the Metal person to survive the circumstances of their environment. * Even if they aren’t doing something about it, a Metal person is going to feel Deep Seated Anger at the injustice of the situation; this could be suppressed and building up until a time when it explodes! * Metals tend not to overindulge on things like food, though they might feel tempted by things they aren’t supposed to have*… * A Metal person can get really stuck in addiction if it feeds the impulse to be non-compliant with a norm (they follow the rules but find ways to be slightly deviant) — think about the “cool” smoker. * Moxibustion or incense could help to offset some feelings of lack if a Metal smoker decides to quit. * Metal Jealousy is about not getting the RESPECT they deserve, and seeing others get it. * The Free Your Heart Meditation can help you to re-write the memories of experiences which have caused these tentacles to develop and create triggers in your life today.

The post 106 – Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes – Turn and Face Your Heart appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.
Is there a feeling of lack in your life? Resentment stemming from putting everyone else first? Maybe some overindulgence, or deep seated anger? Let’s dig deep to see what that’s about!
“The first step is acknowledging that the problem isn’t outside of you. That these outer circumstances are happening, but inside it’s time to look at yourself and why you’re being so triggered…so first ask yourself: what are the triggers?”

https://chrt.fm/track/5E3D1B/traffic.libsyn.com/inspiredactionpodcast/IAP-105REV2.mp3What are your Earth tentacles of the heart ?* What would happen if the Earth came to an abrupt halt?! * Revisit Pod 2 and Pods 12-16 to brush up on basics of the Five Elements * Two types of Earth: Stomach and Spleen. What does each mean? * Food can play a major role in an Earth person’s life…sometimes positive, sometimes negative. * Earth people sometimes struggle with feelings of lack, coupled with a denial of this feeling, and this can occasionally lead to… Overindulgence. * Some Earth people have tentacles that mess with their appetite, and may develop an eating disorder. * The flavor of Deep Seated Anger for Earth is Resentment, and when unaddressed this can come out in some not-so-nice ways… * Earth is right in the middle of Yin & Yang, and has some of both aspects. * Earth Apathy can be understood as an extreme version of putting others’ needs ahead of their own * Occasional Jealousy (or Envy) can happen for Earths, especially when coupled with the deep seated anger and/or resentment. * Earth people do not like feeling like they’ve been “duped”! * How to address these tentacles? Earth goes into problem solving mode — but can go round and round–so it’s important to look inward. * Check out the Free Your Heart Meditation in the Second Stage of Alchemy Meditations in the Alchemy Learning Center to practice this!
Thought Quote:
“They may have learned from trauma that they just don’t matter at all, which is different than the Water wanting to matter, and they just go along with others, just to stay safe. They don’t want to rock the boat or cause a rift.”

The post 105 – Digging in the Earth Dirt appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.
Supreme lover or supreme controller? Which are you? Are you trying to fill a hole of lack of love? Are you getting the love you deserve? Or are you trying to control everything and everyone around you? What stoke’s your fire and how can you spark your authentic heart again?
Maybe they also even got bullied in school, and maybe it came more from this feeling of isolation among friends. So that could be where Fire might feel a lack of love. And then, you know, when fire’s not loved… it’s disastrous.
By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
https://chrt.fm/track/5E3D1B/traffic.libsyn.com/inspiredactionpodcast/IAP-104_rev3.mp3What are your Fire tentacles of the heart ?* Fires tend towards over-indulgence, temptation, ego/pride and jealousy. * Why Fires love a good smorgasbord * The over-indulgence tentacle – filling the lack of love hole * The temptation tentacle – also filling the lack of love hole * Demi-sexual, and being attracted to those you have an emotional attachment to * Healing the tentacle by going through the past and rewriting it * The ego/pride tentacle – coming from the Fire need to be the Supreme Controller * The jealousy tentacle – comparing yourself to other who have the love * For the Trekkies out there – Smorgasborg!
Thought Quote:
And don’t forget to wear smorgasbord pants. The ones with the stretchy elastic waist. I usually say buffet pants, but that word is out. That is so like 1990! Right now we’re saying smorgasbord pants.
Fires love a lot of variety. We love to see variety everywhere we look in our visual field. That’s why parties are so cool. There’s lots of color, there’s lots of people, and you know, the people are the most interesting.
So let’s just say you’re Fire and you have a feeling of lack inside, deep inside. that would be a heart pain. And that makes you feel like you need to fill this, lack – like a giant hole inside. And it’s a constant sense of hunger. And so instead of going out and making friends and doing your fun Fire thing, you stand by that smorgasbord at the parties and stuff yourself nervously, and then you go home and eat an entire container of Paul Newman’s O’s.

I can’t allow you to sing it because that could cause an uprising in Canada. I’m pretty sure the Canadian mounties were created to come after people who do really bad Celine Dion impersonations.

The post 102 – Please Release Me – The Tentacles around Your Heart appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.
Ho’oponopono is one way to free your heart through its Advanced Forgiveness method. Is your heart free to truly be your authentic self? If you have Heart Pains from past trauma or difficulties, then you may need to release them. Sing along with Leta and Jaye to the Free to Be You and Me song…or not!
“In order to align your heart with what you really want…your heart has to be fully accessible to you. It has to be allowed to feel the passion and excitement for life that only our hearts can bring.”
By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
Forgiveness as Freedom* Search the archives for Pod 61 if you want a fresh take on advanced forgiveness. * Can you forgive those who have hurt you? * What holds you back from forgiveness? * Not everyone is ready to forgive–and thats ok! It’s a process and an ongoing conversation with yourself. * How are we seeing ourselves and our goodness in contrast to the world around us, and how we have been hurt by other people? * What’s this Ho’oponopono Prayer all about? And what is it…not quite? * In choosing forgiveness, we free our hearts to then seek what it is we truly want, and be our most authentic selves! Thought Quotes:
“There is no small feat in advanced forgiveness….it’s what we call a tall order.”
“If you feel like you can at least access your own heart, then you have the ability to access your healing magic…so you can release your heart pains on your own.“
“Unwrapping and untangling these heart-entrapping tentacles takes time, self-love, and a vigilant mind. This self-love can be rejuvenated and re-awakened in you, or it can be developed for the first time in your life.”
