Hi, I'm Shelly Maurer and I'm Cher Emrick. Welcome to Life.

Speaker 2: 0:04

Lessons from Pickleball where we engage with pickleball players from around the world about life on and off the court.

Speaker 1: 0:12

Thanks for joining us. Welcome to Life. Lessons from Pickleball everyone. Oh my gosh. Today we are honored to welcome Cheryl Rempes, better known as Samara Sky. Samara, your life's work is all about transformation, healing and stepping into your most authentic self.

Speaker 3: 0:33

You are the radiant soul behind Timeline Catalyst, a powerful body of work that helps people navigate life's transitions, releases limiting beliefs and rise into their own highest timeline and with over 20 years of experience as a registered nurse in mother-baby care.

Speaker 1: 0:53

you've witnessed firsthand the sacredness of new beginnings and you carry that wisdom into your work as a transformational mentor and energy healer.

Speaker 3: 1:01

You offer a space of love, guidance and empowerment and focus on healing at all levels physical, mental, energetic and spiritual with a special emphasis on the energetic shifts that allow us to step into our highest potential.

Speaker 1: 1:17

So, my dear, we have a lot to unpack but, let's start at the beginning. What called you to a life of service, and how did that evolve into Timeline Catalyst?

Speaker 4: 1:29

Well, thank you guys for having me on, first of all, my journey.

Speaker 4: 1:34

The awakening supposedly started 20 years ago when I was going through my process of healing, awakening the ego and going through this process. That is kind of an endless process that we all go through of unraveling who we are. And as I go through this process and see the need for so many people on this earth, so many souls that need this assistance, I felt this calling from the beginning. As a healer, being in the healing realm, healing arts of being a nurse and just, it's always been in my soul mission to assist people in empowering themselves, being of service in any way that I can, healing them on many levels, on many different realms, any way that I can as well. So it's been just unfolding and it continues to unfold and unravel. The work that I'm doing like even the past few months it's just like the way I want to help heal others has transformed in many ways as well. So as I heal and transform and learn more, that also expands my work and how I help assist others as well.

Speaker 1: 2:54

So you have a very interesting life system going and. I'm fascinated and inspired by the way you've kind of taken control of your professional and personal life timeline. So tell us how you're doing that. Because you work, you're living, you are on Orcas Island, but you work in California, so tell us how that Orcas Island, by the way, is in Washington.

Speaker 4: 3:20

So like yes, so I'm working. I have a little one three-year-old and I'm also working as a nurse, part-time, and also working doing my energy healing work. So that's for me, as a Libra, it's all about balancing, balancing all these aspects of myself. Because I have wear many hats, because I have wear many hats, obviously from the pickleball experience, I do all the finances, the graphic design, pretty much all the back end for the guys. So that's another hat that I wear, including with the nursing I work mother baby, so I help assist in, like welcoming new babies and new souls onto this earth, something that I realized, what I have been doing all these years, like why I've been drawn to that realm of nursing, and then balancing going back and forth to California for work. So it's definitely a work in progress, but like just being able to, I think my, my learning process is being able to stay balanced and then staying present, um, when I'm with Zaya, my son, and and with Jim and with family. So that is what I'm working on currently.

Speaker 3: 4:39

Yeah, cause you have so much going on. Yeah much, yeah, yes. How has witnessing birth a new life shaped your views on healing and transformation?

Speaker 4: 4:51

It's just a magical moment to be able to see the new birth of a soul and two people that come together, that are experiencing this whole new world and experience of life, of this transition. It's like you just can't help but be in awe of when the baby comes out, or just them looking at their newborn child and this new life that they both created. It's always an amazement, no matter how many times you see it. Seeing them bonding with a child it's um, it's always very it's amazing. It's always amazing, it's it's beautiful to see all the time.

Speaker 1: 5:40

Are you? I know you have many gifts, energetic and spiritual gifts. Do you? Do you see the baby's aura? Do you have intuition about the child? I mean what? What are, what are the gifts you have around the baby? Care that you do.

Speaker 4: 5:53

Um, in regards to vision, the visions do come and go um energetically with the mom and the baby, I think, feeling being present and being able to teach them how to handle this new stressors and preparing themselves for the new life that's coming. In regards to with the babies, I don't necessarily see auras, because I'm in a different space when I'm in the work mode, this 3D world, versus like when I'm doing energetic work. So I'm trying to balance and bring those two together and then maybe even shifting a lot of my energy work where I'm focusing on mothers, new mothers and fathers, or even mothers that are going through infertility, being able to heal mother-father wounds, patterns that they don't want to bring into this child or, you know, breaking the patterns itself. So I feel like that's where I'm being drawn and being moving away from the hospital work a little bit more. But yeah, we'll see how it kind of unfolds.

Speaker 1: 7:02

It seems like a real natural combo Like you said, now you're kind of looking back and realizing why you are so energetically drawn to work with babies and born to know, and so how cool. But so this phrase highest timeline. What does that mean to you and can you help us understand it and how one reaches one's highest timeline?

Speaker 4: 7:27

Yes, so there's, it's the same thing with your highest potential and timelines. If you go into like quantum physics so much, there's different timelines that we choose. So every choice, every decision that we make, like we're shifting timelines constantly, so being able to align with your, whatever your highest purpose is, your soul purposes, we all kind of have. We all kind of come in with some type of a mission or a purpose that we come in with, so being in an alignment with that, and then you're going to making choices and decisions in alignment with that to create your highest timeline. Does that make sense?

Speaker 1: 8:09

Yeah, that is something I never thought about. And I talked with a lot of people and I read a lot of things and I love that. I hadn't thought that when I make a particular choice, that actually can shift. Yes, so I think in terms of shifting the trajectory of my life because I chose that, but I love this timeline idea. Can you say more about the physics of that?

Speaker 4: 8:34

Yeah, the quantum, the quantum physics. So if we go into like everything, like everything is energy, vibration and a frequency, and I'm sure if you've thought of the way I think of it in regards to consciousness, so every like in vibration, right? So there's higher vibration and then lower vibration. So think of like love, of course, higher vibration and then fear on the lower end.

Speaker 4: 9:00

So then as we have thoughts, emotions, we're moving up and down this vibration or frequency.

Speaker 4: 9:07

So, if you're very conscious or aware of what you're feeling, what you're thinking of, what you're focusing on because that's where you put your focus on, is where you're putting your energy and your vibration and frequency on so you're you're moving up and down this, um, this frequency and vibration. So, if you're able to, like, really be aware and conscious of where you're thinking, where you're focusing on and staying on this higher level of vibration, and then that's going to shift your timeline, cause you're, I'm sure, if you've heard of law of attraction, and whatever you're focusing on is what you're going to attract and kind of also what you're going to create, if you're the creator of your reality, is you're going to create in your timeline. So this is all the things that I've been learning, that, like, people have different ways of saying it, and then I try to make it easier to understand and wait for me to understand and how to help teach people as well. Does that kind of make sense of? Oh for sure.

Speaker 3: 10:10

Yeah, cause, like you're saying, so many people struggle with that. It's like kind of like, transitions is what you're talking about, right, like any kind of life transition, whether you're changing a career or grief or identity shifts right. So like what's one piece of advice you give to someone that's on the edge of a transformation? Then how, on the edge or as they're processing, so yeah, so like they're, they're getting ready to shift that timeline right, like they're, they're just on the edge. What?

Speaker 4: 10:37

so basically, um, usually is knowing there's light at the end of the tunnel, so kind of like focusing on one, you, what you want, so kind of. When we go through transformations like grief, um, like death. Death is a transition, changing relationships and all these different small mini deaths you could call it because you're losing a part of yourself. So then what I usually recommend is kind of being in it. You want to be in whatever loss that you are going through, because you have to process it. Your body has to process it and release it.

Speaker 4: 11:18

When you're trying to push it away, hide it, the emotions are held in your body and then they cause all these other issues along the way disease, disease, and then also like depression and everything like that. So that's why, with the healing work that I do, what I'm working on is releasing those stuck emotions from past traumas that we've held on to or that you didn't process as an adult, even a child, or even in the mother's wound. Those are all like stuck emotions that are causing these ailments in our physical bodies that manifest as physical ailments or thought forms. So, just releasing it, being in it, because you have to, I think, fully feel it to be able to let it go and then somehow be okay with it, like fully heal it before moving forward, instead of trying to push it away or bypass it somehow.

Speaker 4: 12:25

There's no yes, and then you're able to move forward and then you can receive, have a different perception of it. Um, and then that's the key, like having changing your perception of it, growing from from it, transforming from it, instead of feeling like, feeling loss, and you're carrying this loss for the rest of your life if it's not changed or healed somehow.

Speaker 3: 12:49

So I'm just thinking about the timeline thing because I think that's so fascinating. So if we aren't dealing with it and we're hiding it, we're pushing it back, we're stuck on our timeline.

Speaker 4: 13:02

Yes, right it, and we're hiding it, we're pushing it back, we're stuck on our timeline. Yes, right, yeah. So you're stuck in that timeline and it's getting stuck and it's going to perpetuate the same pattern, because everything is a pattern. And then you're creating this pattern, like even stuff, like your parents. You've got some of your things from your parents, creating these patterns to you when you're a child, from you know, one to seven year old. They're like sponges, um, and so you know so.

Speaker 4: 13:23

So, for example, you don't even know why you feel a certain way or you know cause. These are some things that are are brought down to you from your parents or even like ancestral to your DNA. So it can go. It can go so vast beyond. But, yeah, just fully healing it, releasing it from your body. So that's what I say when you're kind of emptying your cup, emptying all these things, that like it's like clearing all, clearing this glass of water that has all this gunk in and just clearing it to where it's clear again so you can be your authentic self, be who you are.

Speaker 1: 13:56

Remember who you are. You mentioned dark nights of the soul and that you yourself have gone through some dark nights of the soul, or shadows right. Can you share any experience you've had that might resonate with people who maybe are kind of going through the same thing, and how they maybe can find healing in those moments maybe?

Speaker 4: 14:19

can find healing in those moments. Yes, so these dark night of the souls, they call it, they call it that, they call it, I call it the void. Also, these are just transitions through life where you feel there is a loss, one of I think the first awakening that I had, this first dark night of the soul, was in my 20s. Most of my themes in my life I learned through our relationship. So this first one was like a breakup. It can come in many forms breakups loss of a job, death of a loved one For this for me, for example, was a breakup where it was with the boyfriend at the time. We were together for a year and I was always the person that like can work anything out, and I knew it wasn't working out for some reason, but I still wanted to work it out. And he decided to break up and like cut off our relationship cold Turkey. This brought a whole like. It cut the ego, I guess, because I've never had someone break up with me and I was just like.

Speaker 4: 15:27

I went through this whole dark night of the soul of like. I don't even know how it happened, but I was just like in this dark space of like what is life and then what is life about and who am I and all these stuff came about. And that's when I started looking for healing through like I was looking through spiritual places, spiritual books, self-help books. That's when I think the secret kind of came out and I was learning about that and how, what we focus on, how we create our reality. The law of attraction came up and then it's been an unfolding ever since then, like 20 years later, I mean, you'll have, I'll have, a little dark side of the soul where you go in and out of it.

Speaker 4: 16:13

It can be it can last for a month, sometimes it can. You can go in and out, maybe in a few days, where you're um, where you kind of feel nothing. It just feels like a dark void where, like even all of the things that you used to find joy in that you don't like there is this nothingness. But I, when I, when um, I have a little pdf book about like spiritual awakening and the darkness of the soul that kind of explains that this is kind of like the zero point of nothingness, where it's kind of like the seed of all creation, where you can just start anew.

Speaker 4: 16:50

So, basically, knowing that that is where you can. You come out of it just like a totally new person, vibrant with life, new perception. But being in it it's not fun at all, where you're just like what is happening, I'm like I don't want to do anything, like I don't want to be around anybody. Yeah, it's pretty. It can be pretty hard and a lot of people go through it and they don't understand. People go through it and they don't understand. It could feel like a major depression, just loss of any joy and happiness or purpose or motivation.

Speaker 1: 17:26

And it's hard when we are in those places or even trying to come through those. It's hard to take the risk of being hurt again, you know, even when we think, okay, I've been, I've found some healing around this and all, but then we're kind of in this place of protection and so a lot of people will, we will just stay in that protection the rest of our lives.

Speaker 1: 17:49

So, okay, I'm going to make sure that that never happens to me again. I'm going to be protected. But again, that stalls us on the timeline. I just love your timeline idea. I'm a Capricorn, it's all about moving forward, and you're leaving my son. I have a son who's Libra. I totally get you tell us more about, in fact, how you work with someone. So say, so say, I have just come through a big heartbreak divorce. Okay, I went through a divorce, and so then I stay in this comfort zone of not having any new relationships Resolved, friendly with my ex, but freaking afraid of moving into the dating world again.

Speaker 1: 18:43

Okay, so stuck on the timeline. But on the one hand, okay, I'm loving pickleball, I've got great friends and all that. But I know that that comfort, that protection, is kind of make believe I'm not really protecting myself, I'm just holding myself on the timeline. So how would you work with me, or how would I work with you, to move myself on the timeline?

Speaker 4: 19:08

Yes, so we would. So I would work energetically. So when I do energy work we would schedule an appointment. You would set up this appointment where you're going to be, in a quiet meditative space, we would connect, and then I would just go with some breathing exercises with you.

Speaker 4: 19:27

You can sit or lay down, and then I kind of work in the quantum realms and using energy and then work with what needs to be what's going to heal you most for the highest good of all at that moment in time. So we can work with your heart, going through the chakras, elements, and I would work what would be called to work with you energetically, because it could be even from this life that maybe it could be a pattern coming through. If you're comfortable with talking about past lives or simultaneous lives, yeah, um, so I would kind of I would try to get to the roots of it, even though we're think you're thinking that the root of it was, say, this relationship. But it could be stemming many, many, many lives possibly. So I'll kind of see where it goes work with you with 30 minutes to an hour.

Speaker 4: 20:20

While you're in this meditative state, you may fall asleep, you may feel emotions or visions coming up during this healing time. You may get hot or cold, some physical sensations have energy, like rushes, or you may feel nothing. It's different for everybody each time and then I'll go over whatever you may experienced and then we let the process, you integrate it, and then we can talk about how stuff comes up, because this is not like talk therapy, where we're going to be talking back and forth. We'll want to get to the root of it energetically and then as stuff comes up later you are going to have maybe aha moments come up, new perceptions coming up, and then we can talk and go through that process with you Like what changes that have made you kind of journal it all out and see what new perceptions that may be coming up that you would never have thought of, never have thought of yourself thinking that before.

Speaker 4: 21:28

And you didn't understand why, but something, something uprooted, that had changed something, something inside you.

Speaker 1: 21:35

Wow, and you can do this remotely. You don't have to be in the presence of somebody, you can do it online, yes, online, on the Zoom, or even not on Zoom.

Speaker 4: 21:46

If we just had a set of time together, I can do it over the phone too. That's so awesome.

Speaker 2: 21:54

That is so good.

Speaker 1: 21:55

And having someone like you who can help us walk through, help us feel brave enough to go to that place of where the pain really is.

Speaker 1: 22:06

As you say we may think it's somewhere but in fact it's somewhere else and you help us find that original route. And then that's the healing process. It's not usually. Maybe it can be instantaneous, and I'm sure it can be because it's quantum physics right can be instantaneous, and I'm sure can be because it's quantum physics right. But that having that guide, the person who can say well, I'm seeing this for you and that for you.

Speaker 3: 22:32

That's brilliant. I love that you do that, thank you, and you can be running along your timeline.

Speaker 4: 22:36

And they can shift timelines just like. Oh, I didn't know this was going to be coming up, yeah. It can happen fast, or if there's layers, because there's layers like we were talking about the cup, or just layers of an onion that were kind of unfolding and unraveling different parts of us, if we've had a lot of stuff that emotions, that we've held on to.

Speaker 3: 22:58

Yeah, that's fascinating. Let's talk just a little bit about Pickleball now. Yeah, yeah, that's fascinating. Let's talk just a little bit about pickleball now. So yeah, so, jem, your life partner and his business, he's the Pickleball Experience. Yes, so did Jem introduce you to pickleball? Are you playing pickleball?

Speaker 4: 23:14

I play it on a rare occasion. As you can see, I have a lot on my plate. You're a little busy, so you know how it can be an addictive game and I've seen them. You know everybody. They can drop everything and just start playing pickleball. Their garden goes. You know, I've seen people's garden go to their death because they're just playing pickleball all the time. So, yeah, so I just have so much on my plate. I was like I can't take something else on, honestly, but I do like to drill with jam. That's really fun for me and we'll see if our son, zaya, is into it. Right now. He's just like no, daddy, you play pickleball, oh that's cute, he's three.

Speaker 4: 23:55

right, he's three yeah, he really has his own little mind. That's a good thing yeah that is a good thing.

Speaker 1: 24:06

So in all of your work, either Will you're doing drills with Jim or when you first started playing, or even I'm going to ask you about life lessons, life lessons that you maybe you've learned in life that you're taking, that you use on the court when you do play, or maybe you learn them on the court and you take them into life, or you learn them in this other work that you're doing, either in the hospital or you're doing your energy work. What are some of the life lessons that you can share with us?

Speaker 4: 24:39

Well, I want to talk about the pickleball community, like just me seeing just the vast openness and just like the loving community, like the pickleball players around the world We've been to Hawaii, new Zealand people open up their homes to us and it's honestly I tell Jim all the time it's one, it's one of the most like loving communities that I've witnessed.

Speaker 4: 25:07

So that's definitely just what I love about pickleball and the community. And one of the life lessons that I've found through pickleball is just seeing the magic and healing and transformation that can occur on the court. I mean, I've seen jim, like just watching jim, like he goes in, he goes into his um experiences with such an open heart. And there was one time that I witnessed like profound healing from one of the individual players where I believe they had some sort of trauma or something happened when, when they were younger, they used to have like I think male, female some type of coaching things that had happened to them. So there was this like distrust of I guess you know male figures in like teaching or they were mistreated by someone in authority, by a man in authority like that, a man in authority, that would say a teacher, an instructor.

Speaker 4: 26:07

And then I remember there was some profound healing that had occurred, like them just having a teaching with the pickleball experience and Jem, where you know she was brought to tears and she was so grateful and thankful that just having this loving and supportive and like no feelings whatsoever of of any of those previous history, you know where she, they felt safe, you know, and wow had so much fun and so that was.

Speaker 4: 26:38

That was pretty profound to see, like wow, like, without even intentionally doing, just going in with an open heart and and connecting, that was pretty profound to see, like wow, like, without even intentionally doing, just going in with an open heart and and connecting, that was able to make such a profound healing um on this, on this woman.

Speaker 3: 26:51

So that's beautiful, it is beautiful, we could just go through life like that, with an open heart and just connect with people.

Speaker 1: 27:00

Yeah, and, of course, we had Jim on the show and he has all the gifts you know open-hearted and energetic gifts and quantum physics gifts and all the other things. I think you both make an amazing couple and the fact that you also work together on this level is so sweet. And you also bring that open heart Samara. I mean really just very touching.

Speaker 3: 27:25

Very touching.

Speaker 1: 27:27

And the fact that you're a Libra means you're going to help us balance our world.

Speaker 4: 27:35

That's my mission.

Speaker 1: 27:37

So, for those who are interested in energetic practices, and what would you say is one thing that we could do right now, in our everyday lives, that will help us be more aware of where we are on our timeline and is this the timeline we really want to be on.

Speaker 4: 27:57

Awareness, being present of your thoughts and your feelings. That is probably the key and it's like this is. And then I think, like not letting it go on, say, if you're having some being emotional or bad thoughts, just kind of making the trajectory shorter, I believe, instead of lingering in that feeling and then focusing on what you want, that's probably the one thing I would say. Focusing on what you want Intention and focusing on what you want, that's probably the one thing I would say. Focusing on what you want, intention, focusing on what you want, that is, if you can do that, if you're thinking about so worry, or worrying about being late or whatever it may be, and then focusing oh, what do you want to happen? Well, I'm on time or I'm happy, or I'm having a great day, just that simple step. And if you're able to do that and practice that every day, like you will start to see changes, changes in your life.

Speaker 1: 28:52

And, just like you said, we're not thinking about what I want to be happy. I want this. No, I am happy. Yes, I feel it, I have what I want, it's here, it feels wonderful and that eventually brings that vibration. So he instantly brings that vibration into our lives. Yeah, woo. So how can people find you, my dear? Because, wow, a lot of people are going to want to explore what you have to offer. Thank you, how can people find you.

Speaker 4: 29:24

I'm on timelinecatalystcom Timelinecatalystcom, yes, and on all the different social medias. So I'm going to put in different couple more information on timeline that we talked about and on some blog posts. Well, thank you. Yes, thank you.

Speaker 1: 29:42

Yes.

Speaker 3: 29:42

Thank you.

Speaker 1: 29:43

Really appreciate I mean gosh you going back and forth to California. You just came from England. We tried to do this show while you were in England but the internet wasn't cooperating, and we're delighted you're back in Orcas now, but I know you're heading off to California soon, so the fact that you took time for this really means a lot to us and really grateful for the work you're doing.

Speaker 4: 30:03

Thank you so much. Yeah, I enjoyed it. I would you know. Thank you for having me.

Speaker 1: 30:06

Thank you, Thank you guys and thank you all, my gosh. Thank you so much for tuning in, thank you for all the likes, the subscriptions, the sharing and hey, timelinecatalystcom.
