The Words You Use Are Shaping Your Reality More Than You Realise | Guy Lawrence
Let It In with Guy LawrenceShow Notes
#459 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with listeners about how everyday words and phrases had quietly shaped their sense of power, ownership, and confidence. He explained phrases like "I'll try," "I should," "I have to," "what if," "they made me feel", and "What the hell is happening?" had often revealed where people unconsciously gave their power away. He encouraged listeners to shift into more empowering language such as "I'll do my best," "I choose," "I get to," "I wonder," "I felt,", and "Isn't that interesting?", so they could meet life with greater awareness and responsibility.
Guy also shared personal stories from a guru retreat, parenting moments with his daughter, traffic triggers, and a retreat blackout to show how language could open or close the nervous system in real time. By the end, he reminded listeners that words carried resonance, and that small shifts in vocabulary could help them move from contraction, blame, and reaction into gratitude, curiosity, presence, and deeper self-ownership.

#463 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with listeners about overcoming indecision, embracing uncertainty, and finding the courage to take a leap of faith without waiting for guarantees. He compared personal transformation to sailing into the unknown, where leaving the safety of the shoreline had represented letting go of old patterns and moving toward a greater purpose. Through the story of a close friend who sailed from Curaçao to Australia, he explained how preparation, experience, and trust in one's abilities had made even the most challenging journeys possible.
#462 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Marysol Ximenez-Carrillo about her journey from professional singer and performer to intuitive sound and energy healing practitioner. Marysol shared how her struggles with depression and emotional sensitivity had led her to explore soul journeys, helping her understand deeper patterns and recognize her sensitivity as a gift rather than a weakness. She explained how intuitive singing, light language, and energy work had helped people reconnect with their true selves, release emotional burdens, and rediscover who they were beneath years of conditioning.
#461 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with listeners about why meditation, breathwork, and spiritual healing had sometimes left people repeating the same emotional patterns despite doing so much inner work. Using the metaphor of a sword being forged, he explained that spiritual practices had acted as the fire that brought unresolved fears and conditioning to the surface, while awareness became the anvil and conscious choices became the hammer that reshaped their lives. He emphasized that lasting transformation had required more than recognizing old patterns, as true growth had come from taking responsibility and making different choices when uncomfortable situations arose.
#460 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with John Novello about the "Invisible Architect," which John described as an intelligent source energy that people could learn to communicate with, align with, and invite into their lives. John shared how he first heard this inner voice at three years old while watching a musician on television, which later led him into music, creativity, and a deeper understanding of his life purpose. He explained that his work had evolved from raising people's frequency through jazz into helping others connect with source, remember their divinity, and design a better life from within.
📍 Pahrump, Nevada — approx. 45 minutes outside Las Vegas 📅 October 23–25, 2026 🌀 Three days with Guy Lawrence, Matt Omo & Taoist Master San Qing Full details + tickets: https://immortaltaoistrites.com/matt-and-guy-lawerence This October, Matt Omo and I are making the trip from Australia to Nevada to spend three days with Taoist Master San Qing — and you're invited to join us. Honestly, I'm really excited about this one. San is someone I've got to know deeply over the last couple of years and I've learned a huge amount from him. His work with Taoism, Qi and energy is phenomenal. Matt brings what he does so beautifully with sound, vibration, breath and the body. And I'll be bringing my own work with meditation, breath, energy, consciousness and creating a space where we can spiritually explore together. But what excites me most is how intimate this experience will be. This isn't about sitting at the back of a huge auditorium watching us on a stage. We're going to spend three days together. We'll practice, explore, have conversations, work with energy, sound and breath, ask questions, share what's coming up and allow the experience to unfold with the people who are actually in the room. And we genuinely don't know when we'll be doing this in the USA again. That's what makes this feel like such a rare opportunity.
