My Ego Says Hi

Anna Chittick

My ego says hi. So does the voice in my head, my higher self, my nervous system and a few suspiciously chatty aliens. For a long time, I stood in the middle of reality demanding answers. Reality laughed, lit a cigarette, and left me holding the blueprint. I’m Anna Chittick. I trace the patterns in identity, belief and human behaviour. This is currently the home of my old podcasts - stay tuned for what comes next. annachittick.com

    Baphomet, Fenrir, the Green Man and Seeing Beneath the Surface

    Three I knew almost nothing about going in, which made them the interesting ones. Baphomet arrived while Michael's wings were still around me, and it was the two energies together rather than one replacing the other. The white drawing the fears up, the dark holding the depth and the sovereignty, both at once and neither of them evil. Fenrir came as a wolf and a man, and the question was which one you see first, because whichever it is tells you how you are judging everything else. There was a long piece with him about being alone, and about the difference between being able to run in a pack and being able to sit on your own without it costing you anything. And then the Green Man, which was my favourite of the whole run. A tree is the part you can see. Underneath it is an entire connected system in the dark that you never see, and that is what people are too. You meet the trunk and make your judgement and you have no idea about the roots. These episodes come from my archive. Most of the run is years old, this one was recorded earlier this year and it sits here because it belongs beside the rest of it rather than because of when it was made. Some of it I would say differently now, and that is fine, it is all part of how I got here.

    Anubis, Aphrodite, Archangel Michael and Facing What I Fear

    Three of the energies I sat with, and they build on each other. Anubis arrived through a dream, just the name over and over, and I assumed the worst. What it turned out to be about was endings, a lot of them at once, and being made to sit inside a thing rather than wishing it away. Aphrodite came with an image of a heart shape as two wings curving in towards a centre, which is how we bend towards each other and how we open outwards, and with a long piece on beauty being something that radiates from inside rather than something anybody else gets to define. Her line at the end was that your colours are magnificent, so let them shine. Then Archangel Michael, whose wings wrapped right around me for about a week, and it was uncomfortable, because sitting inside that much pure light brings every opposing fear to the surface. What I took from it is that your truth is the opposite of whatever you are afraid of. These episodes come from my archive.

    Boundaries and the Inner Battle, Light and Dark Archetypes

    Two of the seven archetypes I use to look at the different aspects of ourselves, and by light and dark I mean surface and depth rather than good and bad. The king and queen is how we set boundaries and say what we want out loud. It is easy to sit in that authority when everybody is agreeing with you. The test is what happens when somebody contradicts it, because most relationships come apart on the not being able to say I do not like this without one of you taking it as an attack. The depth of that archetype is being able to say no, this is over, without making one person the villain. The warrior is how we act. On the surface it is standing in front of other people, fighting for causes and being strong all the time, which is often a very good way of avoiding what is going on inside. The depth is turning it around. The battle is internal. Fight for your own honour first. These episodes come from my archive.

    A Guided Practice for Grounding and Connection

    This one is the practice rather than the talk, so find somewhere you can sit and follow it. It starts with the breath and with breathing into the heart until the body drops and the thoughts stop being interesting. Then threads grow down out of the soles of your feet, through the ground and into everything already living down there, and you feel the space between them, which is where the room to grow is. That energy rises up through you and out through the top of your head and falls back around you like water. Then the same thing from above, from the stars and everything you connect to out there, coming down through you and splashing back up. Two vortexes running in opposite directions with you in the middle, and your heart where the three meet. Then you push it out as far as your breath will take it. I do this three times a day. Everything after it is smoother. These episodes come from my archive. Years of lives, courses and conversations that were sitting on a channel doing nothing, so I am bringing them back one at a time. Some of it I would say differently now, and that is fine, it is all part of how I got here.

    The Word Sales Used to Make Me Clench Up

    There was a version of me whose whole body clenched at the word sales. Too spiritual for that. Doing it my way or no way. This is what changed. There were two groups of people who woke up around the same time. One learned every marketing structure going and it worked until it stopped. The other rejected all of it and trusted the message to find people, and that worked until it stopped too. Then there were the ones who kept failing at both and used the failing to look inward instead, and asked what am I believing about myself, what am I refusing to say, is this even what I want to offer. Those are the ones who are ready for the outside now. That is where I am. I still will not write copy designed to pull on somebody so they buy. I would rather say the true thing and let the right person find it, because I am my own ideal client and that is exactly how I buy. These episodes come from my archive.

    Where the Ideas Actually Come From

    People ask me where the ideas come from and who I learned them from, and there is no one answer, which is the answer. You gather from everywhere, and after a while enough pieces have gone in that what comes out is a different thing. One thing I have noticed is that the piece I want from somebody is usually their earliest teaching, the raw version from before they refined it. This one lays out the ground the rest of what I say sits on. Three layers of existence and how I move between them. That there is no fact and no fiction here, only what is true for you right now. Why I keep creating in the online space in a way no strategist would recommend, and why the response to it was never the point. And the part people find uncomfortable, that the further in you go the fewer people are standing there with you. Fewer, and better. These episodes come from my archive.

    Tapping and Saying the Thing You Actually Feel

    This is the tapping I used most heavily, and the difference between it and the version most people know is what you say while you do it. Rather than flipping the thing into a positive, you say the thing you actually feel. You come home, the house is a mess, everybody is being awful, and instead of unloading on them you take yourself somewhere private and tap while saying every ugly sentence in your head. And what happens is you start somewhere small and end up somewhere much older, because the trigger is rarely the actual source. Your body will do strange things while it clears, the yawning and the burping and sometimes the nausea and the tears, and all of it is fine. I go through the points at the end so you can see where they sit rather than reading them off a page. You will feel silly the first time. Do it in the car. These episodes come from my archive.

    Grief, Desire and Creating a Life That Feels Like Mine

    Grief cracks you open and then you have to put the pieces back with no manual, and you do not come back the same shape. Some pieces stay on the floor. What is left has more room in it. That is where this one starts, with the idea that the sheer power of that emotion is a scale you can use for everything else you want to feel. The seven that follow are short and all pointing the same way. Nothing exists without a story, so build ones you actually want to live in. The difference between a need, a want and a desire, and how the same fifty dollars feels different in each. Your truest desires sitting at the bottom of the ocean under all the debris. Doing more than one thing at once when everybody keeps telling you to pick one. A simple way to look at money, skill and you, and to see that you are the channel rather than the blockage. And the last one, that the only way to create is your way. These episodes come from my archive.
