BABH S1Ep12: Great Questions To Ask Yourself When The Turkey Burns

NOTE: Not strictly a transcript on this occasion, but detailed notes 

Joel Young:

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

But before all that - you’ve got meeee and the BABH Podcast!!
Merry Christmas…

INTRO

It’s Christmas Eve!

And I’m having some fun today

Welcome if you’re new or if you’re a regular… it’s SO good to see you this fine festive Tuesday… If only it fell on a Friday, the alliteration would have worked sooo much better…

Perhaps you’re wrapping presents, driving to the family get-together, doing a pre-emptive exercise in advance of the on-coming gluttony - I’m delighted you’ve decided to spend this time with me…

And, if you’re in the kitchen prepping for the big meal… then this is most certainly the ideal episode for you, as I’m going to share, with my tongue lodged firmly in my cheek, some Great Questions To Ask Yourself When The Turkey Burns

That’s right - all that prep, hours of slaving over the stove, imagining Grandpa’s happy face as the most succulent roast appears at the table… and oh no - Hitting the bucks fizz n Gin cocktails before 11am, plus the ensuing drama… and oh no! Didn't set the timer… What’s that smokey smell… crikey that’s the smoke alarm…. THE TURKEY!!!

Don't worry I’ve got you covered…

But before the I pull back the tinfoil on this Hootenanny of an episode…

Of course, as a positive thinker, I’m aware that you’re going to be cosmically ordering the perfect Christmas – more than likely online.

You know the perfect Christmas I’m talking about right..?  The one that goes according to your plans…?

Well, just in case the cosmos has an ‘Amazon on a bad day’ moment; the stuffing hits the proverbial fan and – in spite of your many years of meditation –  you slip out of ‘enlightened mode’ for a split second…

I thought I’d offer you some questions you can ask yourself to help you set the baubles straight on your aura… 

TOP TIP: While these questions are focused on resolving potential Turkey drama, they can also be powerful allies in all manor of Christmas Crises…

[music]

Question 1: What would Jesus do?

This would be my first response – it is Christmas after all!

I actually don’t think there’s ever a time where channelling a bit of The Divine Christ Consciousness won’t perk you up.

Of course if you’ve “so done the Judeo Christian thing” then feel free to channel your latest fave Divine Being – I’m sure they’ll have a wise word or two on your blackened fowl.


Question 2: What was the intended consequence of  serving perfect turkey and how else might I still experience that?

If you’re the practical or creative sort, this is the question for you!

I’m a great believer in the adage that an intention doesn’t put all it’s eggs in one basket.

OK - bit more of an Easter reference there than a Christmassy one… but, to be fair, with the timing of the census and what-not, historical records do suggest it’s more likely Jesus of Nazareth was born nearer Easter than the winter solstice… so I think I have precedent…

Now… where was I… oh yes - an intention doesn’t put all it’s eggs in one basket.

In other words… There’s going to be another way to make ’em smile with merry cheer – if that was your intention.

And… Like an eager understudy the alternative means-to-your-end is right there in the wings; waiting for the signal that it’s going to have it’s moment. 

It’s as keen to be seen as you are to see it and when you completely let go of your idea of how it should be, the understudy will make it’s entrance on the fleet foot of inspiration.

Question 3: What if this is what perfection looks like?

For all you hard core awakened Souls: sometimes you just gotta go Eckhart Tolle, on it’s ass!

The eternal bliss of embracing ‘The Power of Now’ will surely help you see the innate perfection of the moment…

Not sure how to do that?
Well, here’s your quick guide:

Don your best tank top, take a few minutes in silence, empty your mind and breeeaaathe…

Look your ‘Pain Body’ in the eye and give it your best Beavis & Butthead chuckle.

Let that joker know that you see through the its game and that IT is the only thing that won’t end up being fed this Christmas.

Bliss, peace and enlightenment is assured… To quote Puppetji… namaste

Question 4: How would Billy Connolly tell this story?

OK, so let’s not get too fixated on Billy. If you haven’t heard of him, google him (he’s a British comedian) and consider it a pre-emptive self-preservation manoeuvre.

In fact I’ll drop a link to his famous ‘Toffs for Christmas dinner” video - enjoy…

And, if Billy’s not your scene…? C’mon, really?

Well you can use your favourite comedian…

As Al Murray, The Pub Landlord (another Brit comedian) says, “The point is this…”

So the point is that looking at the funny side can be the best balm when you’ve burnt your bird.

Question 5: Is it time I went vegetarian? Or even vegan?

Sometimes when shit happens, it’s a sign.

OK, so it might not be the veggie thing, but when the plans down the pan it might be the man giving you a signal?

Perhaps there’s something better than what you expected on it’s way right now?

You just have to have the eyes to see it, and an open heart to let it in (everybody say ‘Awww’)

Not the quickest of fixes this one, but good for the Soul. 

Question 6: What am I experiencing that I would like to allow to pass?

Did you see what I did there?

If you’ve downloaded the NPA Process Sheet from http://beabrillianthuman.com/npasheet...

Yes, that’s Q1 from The NPA Process – and if you’ve done any NPA then this question will put you into unfettered express mode – or as I like to call it – a spew.

A spew without judgement or holding back, by itself, can be a great relief and instantly avoid PTPS (positive thinking pressure syndrome)!

PLUS you get to find a cookie cutter, NPA it, stop taking it personally and (with a smile) stumble forward gracefully in whatever wholesome way works best for you!

Now you may have guessed this: This Christmas Eve episode is sponsored by NPA and The NPA Process: Basic Training online programme….

Now, if you don’t know your spew from your cookie cutter or what the NPA I’m talking about…

You lucky thing, you – you’ve just happened across the simplest way I know to stop taking things personally! 

That’s right folks - The NPA Process has been described as a ’45 Second Miracle’ which can help you let go of the ‘yucky stuff’ and let in the ‘yummy stuff’ of life.

It’s transforming lives in over 18 countries as people realise that using this practice sets them free from the fear and effect of other peoples opinions, negative criticism and projections.



It’s helping people totally shift their sense of self at the highest level and in the everyday world of 21st century human experience – bringing lightness, laughter and ease to both the mundane and major challenges of life.


With a little basic training you can get up and running with the practice fast, and start feeling the release and peace around your burning issues (that so many people report) in short order. 

There’s definitely an ‘art’ to getting the most from it and accessing the deepest transformations it brings over time…

so…


You better buy yourself THIS for Christmas… And remember: NPA (and what it gives you) is for life, not just for Christmas! 

In any case, DO have a lovely Christmas – whatever happens!

[music]

Right - Santa is on his way, so I better get a wriggle on!

Thanks so much for joining me…

There’s a few video links etc on the show notes, plus links to download the free NPA Sheet - handy in a Christmas Crisis - and remember to get the training!

Do subscribe etc…

Next time, It’s NYE!!!

so I’ll be discussing the issues, as I see them, with goal setting, intentions and resolutions for 2020… and of course, offering some solutions…
- so make sure you tune in on the last day of the year!

Merry Christmas and See you then!

Cue the Christmas moo!
