Welcome to another deep dive. I'm your host and yeah, just so you know, I'm an AI guiding us through today's topic.
Always exciting to see what we're diving into.
Well, we're actually focusing on the Magdalene effect.
Oh, interesting. What's that all about?
So, met Miriam Sloth and Sune Sloth reached out. They've got this podcast and well, they're hoping we can kind of spread the word about it and the ideas behind it, you know, help it reach a wider audience.
Makes sense. I'm always curious to hear new voices, especially when they're tackling something as important as as human connection seems to be a hot topic these days.
Yeah, no kidding. And with the Magdalene effect, it sounds like they're going pretty deep with it. It's not just a random name they picked. It's really connected to Met's own journey.
Ah, there's a personal story woven in there. I love that. What's Met's background?
She's been working with kids for years, like child development and connection. She even had her own company, Connected Kids.
Connected Kids, huh? Catchy name.
It was, but she eventually felt limited by it. Like The structure wasn't letting her explore all she wanted to, so she decided to go solo.
Wow, brave move. There must have been a pretty strong reason for her to leave something she built herself.
Sounds like she wanted to broaden her focus, you know, go beyond just working with children and look at connection more broadly.
I see. So, taking those years of experience and applying it to a wider lens makes sense.
And that's where the Magdalene effect comes in along with her work with energy healing.
Oh, that's interesting. Energy healing, huh? Didn't see that coming.
It's a bit of a shift, right?
Yeah. But for Met, the Magdalene figure represents like a reclaiming of the feminine, getting back to that intuition and emotional depth that maybe we've kind of lost touch with.
So, it's almost like a symbol, a representation of something bigger.
Exactly. She sees it as a path to rediscovering a deeper connection to ourselves, our emotions, and, you know, each other.
Powerful stuff, especially in a world that often seems to prioritize logic and reason above all else,
right? It's like she's bringing back this ancient wisdom, weaving it into a modern framework for how we connect. Pretty cool, huh?
Yeah, I'm intrigued. So, where does Sum fit into all this? You said they're partners, right?
Yeah, he's a fascinating part of this whole thing. He doesn't come from the child development world, but he's got this analytical mind, strong background in technology.
So, a different kind of expertise, a nice compliment to Met's work, I imagine.
Totally. He brings structure, you know, kind of grounds her more visionary approach. And get this, He's also super into exploring the masculine. Adds a whole other layer to their partnership.
I bet to fully understand and embrace the feminine, you need that balance with the masculine, right? It's not about one being better, but more about how those energies dance together.
Exactly. And that really comes through in their work together, especially in those joint sessions they offer. They're all about exploring relationship dynamics and personal growth.
That's where things get really interesting. What kind of approaches do they use in those sessions? Any specific techniques?
They draw from a bunch to different things like energy healing, mindfulness, and even communication exercises.
Ah, so it's kind of a blended approach. Ancient wisdom meets modern tools. Huh.
You got it.
That's a pretty cool balancing act they've got going on. Yeah, definitely. It sounds like they're bridging that gap, you know, the intuitive and the analytical, the old and the new. Not an easy thing to do.
It's not. And I think that's what makes them so interesting as a pair. They're embracing all of it. The messy and the beautiful, all those different parts of being human, not shying away from the complexities.
I like that. It's so refreshing. So much of what we see like self-help stuff, it's all about being positive, striving for perfection, you know, but real growth, I think, comes from accepting all of it, even the hard stuff,
right? And when it comes to the Magdalene effect, it's cool how they've set things up. They offer individual sessions with Met Sutuna, but they also encourage people to try those joint sessions, get that combined perspective.
Smart. It fits with their whole emphasis on masculine and feminine energy. It's like they're modeling that balance in their own work, which is awesome.
Exactly. Gives people a chance to explore those dynamics within themselves, too, whether they're dealing with relationship stuff or just trying to understand themselves better, you know.
Totally. Have they talked about any specific challenges they've seen like patterns that come up a lot in their work?
One thing they both mentioned is this tendency people have to disconnect from their emotions, especially the tougher ones, anger, sadness, fear, that kind of thing. Medie talks about how that disconnect can lead to feeling empty, almost bloodless, she calls it.
Whoa. Bloodless. That's a powerful image. It's like when we shut down those emotions, we're missing out on a big part of what makes us human.
Exactly. And it seems like that disconnect is often at the root of a lot of problems, you know, in our personal lives and relationships, too.
It's like we're almost afraid of our own emotions, you know, like we've been taught that some feelings are bad, so we try to avoid them completely,
which ironically just makes them stronger in the end. Right.
Totally. So, how do Met and soon deal with that that emotional disconnect in their work?
They talk a lot about radical self-acceptance, which means accepting every part of yourself, even the parts you don't like.
Oh, interesting. That sounds a lot like the whole mindfulness and self-compassion stuff that's becoming so popular.
It is. And they also use energy healing techniques to help people release those blocked emotions. That can really open things up.
Energy healing, huh? That's a whole other world. How do they use it specifically?
Well, Meta has training in a bunch of different energy healing modalities. So, she incorporates those into her individual sessions. And then soon with his analytical skills, he helps people figure out like the thought patterns and beliefs that might be causing those blocks in the first place.
Ah, so it's a two-pronged approach working with the energy and the mind. That makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, it's a pretty holistic approach for sure. And I think that's what makes the Maggalene effect so fascinating.
And it's not just a concept. It's a way of being, you know, embracing the whole human experience.
I love that. So, you mentioned Medie left her company to really dive into this work. What's their vision for the Magdalene effect? Do they see it becoming something bigger?
Oh, absolutely. They actually chose a.org domain for their website. Yeah.
Which kind of hints that they see it as a movement, not just a business.
Interesting choice. Like they want to make a real impact, go beyond just individual clients.
Right. And they've mentioned wanting to create online courses and workshops. Yeah. You know, to make their work accessible to more people.
That's a great idea. Using technology to reach a wider audience. Smart move.
And they've also talked about collaborating with other people, other organizations that share their vision.
Sounds like they're setting the stage for a pretty big shift, you know, a real awakening of those feminine principles, connection, intuition, all that good stuff.
Beautifully put. Makes you wonder, what role do we each have in bringing those qualities into our own lives and our communities? Now, that's a powerful question. Maybe it starts with being more aware, more present in our own lives, tuning into our emotions, really listening to others, you know, those simple things.
Yeah, those are so important. And maybe it also means challenging some of those old ideas we've been taught, like the ones that tell us to suppress our emotions or to always choose logic over intuition,
right? It's about questioning those beliefs and making space for a new way of being, a way that's more whole and connected
and remembering that we're all connect. connected, right? Our well-being is tied to everyone else's and the planets, too.
It's a beautiful vision. A world where compassion and empathy are more than just words. They're a way of life. A world where Yeah. where we really feel it, you know, not just talk about it.
Exactly. And that's what I find so inspiring about MeteSoon. They're not just like preaching this stuff. They're living it. You can tell
it makes a huge difference. Right. It's one thing to read about balancing those energies, masculine and feminine, but to see it in action in a real partner partnership. That's powerful stuff.
Totally. And it brings us back to that question, doesn't it? The one about like what role do we each play in all this and bringing those qualities, those feminine principles into the world?
It's a good question. It makes you think, huh, maybe it starts small, you know, just being more aware, present in our own lives, like paying attention to our breath, how our body feels, really listening when someone's talking.
Those are great starting points. And maybe maybe it also means like question some of the messages we've been given, the ones that say we shouldn't feel certain things or that logic is always better than intuition.
Yeah. Yeah. Like who says, right? It's about challenging those old rules and finding a new way, one that feels more authentic, more connected.
And remembering that connection goes beyond just us. You know, we're all part of something bigger. Our well-being is tied to everyone else's and to the planets, too.
It's a beautiful way to look at it. Like, we're all in this together, you know, and when we take care of ourselves and each other and the earth. Well, that's when things start to shift.
Absolutely. And maybe, just maybe, that's what the Magdalene effect is all about. It's about that shift, that reawakening to something more.
It's a powerful idea. That's for sure. And while we might not have all the answers, I think exploring these kinds of concepts, well, it can definitely point us in the right direction.
It's been a really insightful deep dive, wouldn't you say?
Totally. Mate and and Soon have given us a lot to think about.
They really have a lot to ponder. You know, as we continue our own journeys figuring out this whole connection thing.
Exactly. It's a journey for sure.
It is. So, as we wrap this up, we encourage everyone listening to like check out Metton Soon's work. You know, connect with their community. See what the Magdalene effect means to you.
It's worth exploring. That's for sure. And remember this whole awakening thing, this connection journey, it's a process. There are lots of different paths you can take.
So true. Find what works for you.
Ex.
Well, that about does it for this deep dive into the Magdalene effect. Thanks for joining us. We'll see you next time.
