Thank you so much I am I'm overjoyed to be here

Agi Keramidas  2:36  
So am I. Hope, today we will explore among other things the the Infinity wave which I mentioned briefly in the introduction, but also energy healing 1000. And more see how, where it takes us. Really. Before we go there, what I would like to start with is asking you how you first encountered the Infinity wave. So give me a brief overview of that time what what was happening in your life. And what what happened then?

Hope Fitzgerald  3:16  
Well, you know, it's kind of a common theme that when people have go through a very difficult time, there's a change, and sometimes a gift waiting on the other side, depending on how you go through that difficult time. And I went through a very difficult time in 2010 it with a lot of traumatic events. Towards the fall, I realised that I was on absolute zero physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and that is a dangerous time. That's when you become vulnerable to disease and all kinds of things. So I went off to back to back sound healing workshops with a wonderful man named Tom Kenyon. And it turns out that what I was doing, when I look back on it now I didn't know it at the time I was just going for it. You know, I always shamanic initiation I would if I had to choose words for it. I got into sync with Him and His teaching and His incredible ability to channel a wide range of beings through his music through his sound his voice and by the end of the thing I was restored. More importantly, I had come to some understanding about what that prior year had been about not just that year, but really my whole life the programming and I had been on a quest during this these retreats to clean out I always say clean my inner bowl like I scrub this The bowl it was in my being, so that I had no story anymore. And when I, and by the end of it the very, very last practice, I had one remaining question that had to do with why, why these dramatic events were coming to me when I'm pretty sensitive, you know? Anyway, I got my answer in the last practice. And it was so stunning. Such a beautiful reframe, brought me into such gratitude that in my mind's eye, and I didn't do this in physicality, I went prostrate on the floor, and out of me spraying these words, I am a willing vessel do with me what you will. Now these were not words that I was used to say they just came out. In in internally. That was the degree of my gratitude for the understanding that I had received. I went home, I felt delightfully empty, you could call me any name I would have answered, I had no story anymore. I was, it was incredible. It was so freeing, and delightful. And then on the third day, I was walking across my living room, my dear friend was visiting. And all of a sudden, I'm staring at a giant wave, a beautiful 10 storey I don't know, huge turquoise wave. And, and there seemed to be a little byline with that. And it said, paraphrasing, this wave represents a push of evolution that is coming to the planet, and we'll anchor in at the end of 2011. If you choose to swim with it, or surfeit, it will be much better than if you resist. Okay, then the wave turn to the side. So now it looked like a surfer would come through the barrel, it was kind of like a letter C hanging like this big wave like that. And that one had a byline too. And it was as the ocean pulls away from the shore and deepens into the seabed to get its energy to create the crest. That's how the physics of a wave works. So should you leave all your book learning all there, your so called knowledge on the shore, go to the earth, go to the wisdom keepers of the earth, for your information for your knowledge, and mix that with this incoming wave push thing, then, instead of the water falling right back down to the ocean, like it would normally do, it turned into this figure eight made of flowing water. Now I can show a picture of it if you like. But it's there was no byline with this. And it was hanging out in front of my my consciousness, about 18 inches is about this high. And it just was like a clear thing that was in my daily life for about three days, until I sat down with my dowsing rods to say, Okay, this is getting annoying, what is this thing. And that started the inquiry into what this was. And that it's a symbol, it's a, it's a geometry. That is important. The geometry itself is important, the water is important. We could call it the Infinity wave. But it represents an energy that is extremely pristine, I was told tense dimensional energy that was here to help us with the times that were ahead, this push of evolution, that if we could stay in the consciousness of this figure eight thing made of water, this infinity wave, that things would go better for us. And it was further explained that inherent in that water was this 10th dimensional level of love and compassion. So that's what the early days were about. And then I'll tell one more thing, and then I'll stop. Because then I was told through the dowsing through my guides who I'd been working with for many, many years. Oh, I'm supposed to teach about this starting in January 2011. Which I said no, I don't want to do that. And they said Don't you remember you said you were willing vessel and do with you what you will? And I'll stop there.

Agi Keramidas  9:49  
Actually, that thank you for this beautiful story. Actually, that was that part where you said I am the willing vessel. You mentioned this immense gratitude that you felt the words that came to my mind was the word surrender, surrendering to the Divine to the universe. You also used the word when you were speaking about that. shamanic initiation, I think you called it you use the word you were restored. And I liked very much that choice of award. So, yeah, just I mentioned that because it was something that really caught my attention. What I want to ask next is actually, I'm now very fascinated with your description of the Infinity wave. And you said that it is a kind of energy, or a wave that we should swim with it usually those square feet rather than than fighting it. So can you tell me a bit about how it helps us? As you said, it does. And obviously, this metaphor of surfing or swimming, it is nice to hear, but more practically, how can one swim, an energy wave that most of us are not, at least, you know, we can to sense it in a visible way, the way that you did?

Hope Fitzgerald  11:29  
Well, the initial image of this giant wave pushing forward, was it a sense, the sense of it was this is coming, and you have choices about how to respond. So when we the initial message was to be be fluid, and not to resist, because if you're at the beach, and you resist a wave, you're gonna get knocked down. So you have to learn a more fluid response to the changes that are coming. Now in 2010, of course, we had no idea what what could be happening. And of course, in the last five years, we've had quite a bit of change to deal with. And it's not stopping, it's moving faster than ever. So with me, I show a picture of of the wave for people. Absolutely. Okay. So just to get a visual of it, it's just easier to show it in this large form. This, this geometry of the water in in the figure eight, and if there's it can go either way. It's just how this is pictured in this on the book. But what the wave helps us to do is to stay in that flow state, it reminds us to stay flexible, to not become rigid. When people encounter change, especially big change, their first instinct is to hold tight is to grip. Hold your breath up, right. And there are people, millions of people right now who have still not come out of that frozen state, after everything they've been through, they're still in a state of shock and kind of like a deer in headlights, they're going through their daily lives, but they're not the same. There's a kind of a locked up part of them. Maybe everything's gonna go back to normal someday, which it isn't. And so what what this figure eight made of flowing water is is a is a metaphor, but it's also practical. So we know that thought, creates reality, right? We know this. So we know we are also mostly water, right? We're between depending on how old we are between 80 and 198%. Water. So we also know that water has memory. And we know that water has consciousness. This has been proven now multiple times by different researchers around the world. So we have this watery shape as a way as a means of communication. And within that water, this particular shape this particular water is this is this high level of love and compassion. It's built into the symbol, it's built into the water. So if I want to change my reality, I'm going to use this symbol in my mind's eye to imprint upon the situation and see what happens. What I doing is I'm sending 10 dimensional love and compassion that is not from me. It's in the symbol and I Putting it on a situation. And if I hadn't seen it, and hadn't hear it heard other people describe it for all these years, I wouldn't have believed it. But I'm telling you that it shifts a situation into a much higher state instantaneously. And I can give you an example.

Agi Keramidas  15:26  
If you enjoy this episode, can you think of one person that would find it useful and share it with them, I'd really appreciate it. It helps the show grow. And you will also be adding value to people who care about. Thank you. And now let's get back to the episode.

Hope Fitzgerald  15:44  
And I can give you an example. 

Agi Keramidas  15:46  
Please do yes. And then I want you to ask something. But I would like to hear your example.

Hope Fitzgerald  15:51  
So this is something that happened at the very end of 2011. After I had followed my instructions to teach these workshops, I taught one full workshop, as I doused it out was one weekend per month for three months. So three months when we can put them up. And going into it. I had no idea what I was teaching. I had no idea what I was doing. I was looking everywhere on the internet for the infinity sign is anybody and this getting back to you a little bit? What is the cause? Because I can't be the only one receiving this. Am I going crazy? Thought I was going crazy. You know? Really, you're asking me to do something that takes me way out of my comfort zone. Even though I've been a teacher even though I've been a performer even though I've been a director, when you asked me to teach something that is in the realm of spirituality and spiritual evolution, hello, no, thank you. I'd rather sit quietly in the back of the room. I also because I always still do consider myself a student. And once you get in the front of the room, then all kinds of projections of us did sticky stuff. I didn't want to go for it. But they were pushing me literally foot in the back. And so I had I went each week before the week, the weekend workshop, I received a download, I got these, these practices would come through me I had not been a fan of channelling, but all of a sudden here I am channelling and these beautiful practices dropped in. When I got to the end of the first full workshop. And I looked back, I realised that step by step by step, these nine practices that came in, were like a blueprint for a spiritual leap, evolutionary leap. And everybody who'd gone through the programme was demonstrating that I repeated that two more times that year, at the end of the year, I went with a close friend of mine out to LA to do a very serious surgery that was required for her neck and all kinds of things anyway, she had prepared for surgery by doing hypnosis for surgery. And one of the things they do is they say write out on a piece of paper what you want the anesthesiologist to say as you go under and come out for better outcomes. So she had that we're waiting and waiting, we're about to go into surgery. She's all on Enter cap and gown ready to go. And finally income see anesthesiologist now. This woman who came in middle aged clipboard in hand, she had on a very interesting surgical pap, it looked like a little pizza hat, you know, kind of puffed out never seen anything like it little flex on it. Anyway, she stood opposite me at the foot of the bed. Never looked at my friend reading off her clipboard, okay, we're working on C three and T four and all this lead medical ease. And I could see that my friend was getting agitated. Because she wanted to hand this paper off. And this did not look like a human being who would accept this paper and let her you know, have these better outcomes. So I having worked with the wave all year long. I found myself in a in a completely new position because I'd been learning and evolving through this whole processes. Well, normally, I would have said, Hey, would you mind just being nice to my friend, you know, doing something, I would have done something. But instead, I thought, Oh, I don't like this picture. I want a different one. And at that moment, I said, I like your hat very bland. No, no intonation. But out of my solar plexus was like a punch. Boom. And the wave popped out of me. I didn't direct it. I didn't. I just said I want a different picture. And the woman's head popped up. She looked at my friend she said, Hey babe, how are you doing today? I want to help you. Oh, what do you have for me? Oh, you want me to say this, I love to do this kind of a cheat. She turned into she went from an icebox to Chatty Cathy, in a nanosecond. And both of my friend and I were like, Ma, you know, we could not believe it. My friend didn't know what had happened. But after she came out of, you know, her Nan sesion, ever, she said, Did you see what happened to that anesthesiologist, she was like, I was about ready to call for a different doctor. And all of a sudden, she was wonderful. So how I explain it is that the wave can bring about a sense of peace, calm, balance, masculine, feminine, and all the all the things, but it also can pack a punch when necessary. And it has a mind of its own. So all I had to do was asked for something different. And reality changed in a nanosecond.

Agi Keramidas  21:01  
Of course, you can pack a bounce it is a wave. Certainly, you can certainly do that. Thank you that that was enjoyed listening to the instrument good, very repressive. The question I wanted to ask you earlier on was, you use the words, use the symbol to imprint on the situation. So when you said that, in my mind, the order would use or the description I will use, as I understand what you said, was in our mind's eye to superimposed, shall we say, this symbol on whatever is happening around us? Or in other words to bring into into our mind's eye? Is that what you mean is did I understand that correctly?

Hope Fitzgerald  21:56  
Yes. So another example? Yes. So here's what we do. The wave has 1000 or 1 million or one uses, okay? It's, it's a living energy. So for instance, if I want to have a better conversation with someone, let's say I'm having a difficult conversation with my teenage son, which happened to me years ago. And he's getting more and more agitated. And usually what happens is, when somebody else is getting agitated, we hook on to that energy, we get agitated, and you know how it goes, builds up. Now, instead of hooking into his agitation, I started to wave him. So that means I would put their weight lots of ways to do it. But I would put one end of the loop of the figure eight in my heart, and I would send it across to his heart. And now I've got the wave running between us. And I could literally sit there say nothing. Because I like to test it. I like as a scientist, I like to test it, say nothing, and watch him decompress. And the next thing I know, a minute or two later, you know, he's kind of joking, and he didn't go off the deep end. So that's one example. But you can also send the wave to somebody, either in your presence or at a distance, just imagine them wrapped from head to toe in the wave. And they time it's based on matter with this, they start to everything starts to reorient for their highest good, it takes where they are in 3d, and it adds the element of 10 D. Now, that doesn't mean they go to 10 D, it just means that it lifts them up and out of only being locked in 3d, it opens the aperture. So when you open the aperture you allow for much more magic to happen much more. You don't even have to know in your mind that this is what I love about it because I think intention is awesome. And I don't pooh pooh it. At the same time. I could not have imagined that doctor's response, it was way more than my little mind could have figured out and so it leaves the wave leaves space for the highest and best to occur. Does that help?

Agi Keramidas  24:35  
Yes, it does. I will take it one step further. So let's say now someone listening is really fascinated with the concept that you just described. And they want to put it into practice or put it into tests just to you know do to see how what would happen. Can you offer something additional ah certain practical things that one can do to, you know, implement it and put it to the test if if that phrase is sure, accurate?

Hope Fitzgerald  25:11  
Yeah, yeah, I love it because I spent a lot of time putting it to the test, just me, I still put it to the test. You can use it in your own body. So a lot of times people have a hard time falling asleep, or they wake up in the night and they can't fall back to sleep, I recommend a practice that came to me called the Infinity cradle. And that is you wrap it from your crown across your midline, down around your feet and back up, we have the capacity to turn the water up or down in terms of flow. So you can imagine just a lovely little trickling stream of the wave, you're introducing it, you're imprinting it into your field, you're inviting the dance with the Infinity wave. And though and if you just imagine it, and you can use your hands to trace it, you could also do it on your heart like this, it tends to make your heart start to feel softer, wider, more vulnerable. So those are some just two little ways to use it in the body. If you're in traffic, and you find yourself getting agitated, which we all do, you can you can wave the traffic in front of you wave it from your heart out. Two things happen. And this is one of the most beautiful things about the wave, whatever you send out is coming back to you. So your being is shifting into a higher place just by running the wave on the traffic. And this is dow visible, you can douse a person. When we wave somebody who doesn't know what the wave is 30 seconds of a small group waving that person I douse their energy field before and after. After 30 seconds of waving that person with nobody knowing what an what a watery figure eight is, their energy field has tripled in size. I've tested this over and over and over. So when you're waiving traffic, your own field is going to be expanding, the traffic will start to move. And you will be in a better more calm state while the traffic is sorting itself out. You know, we have choices about how we respond to the many situations that life offers us if we're able to stay in a flow state. And you could say that staying staying in a state of love and compassion equals a flow state, then usually things start to go better for us. Travel goes better, everything goes better. So this is just a symbol to remind us about our capacity to stay in that state. Now one little caveat. And I mentioned this before, the love and compassion at this pristine level that we're we really mostly can't access on this planet, in this 3d realm is built in to the water. So we don't have to manufacture that in ourselves. If we did, we'd have to go to our cave, we'd have to meditate, we'd have to get our vibrations up we'd have to do all that stuff, we don't have time to do that anymore. We need something fast. Something that keeps us in a state as much as we think of it and the more we think of it, the more we stay in that state until the point where we are automatically just in that state. So I tell people you know go to my website and cut the thing out print it out, cut it out, put it all over put in your bathroom, put in your car, and just as a reminder to stay in a flow state because life will bring you much more when you do

Agi Keramidas  29:16  
Hope thank you for this description of how to how to use it I earlier on there was this element in my my own way of explaining me it was that I have to use my imagination. And you also said that you can use your hand and that also I believe that also makes it even more tangible and practical. I will make one more common now because you're saying and we were discussing this before we started recording about the symbol of of infinity which is like sideways the number eight and I was showing you my A my book which has a DEA because two of them on the title. If you asked me how I came to that number, and I said it just came to me, it just appears to me. So I don't know if you wanted to add something, we started that conversation there. But yeah, maybe now that you've, we've had all these other things that we said, I'd love to hear what you think?

Hope Fitzgerald  30:26  
Well, as I mentioned, I looked all throughout 2011 for the symbol of the eight or the infinity, on packaging, in logos, and jewellery. And it was nowhere to be found. And I know that's hard to imagine right now because it is everywhere now. But they had said, it's going to anchor in at the end of 2011. So January, 1 week of January, I went to order a cappuccino. And it was handed to me, and someone had put the infinity in the foam. And that started the whole thing. And then it was spray painted on a sidewalk. And then it was in a, you know, a logo. And then it was and it just started to come in. And we had been told that we were going to have a whole year to work with this before you know, it hit it hit us. And then I saw it, I started to see it in the collective. So many people have now used it as their logo. They don't know why. You don't know why ADA came to you. I've had long, I've had a lot of I've had a lot of channelling that has happened in the last 1213 years, whatever it is, because once I started receiving these practices, I realised, okay, this is something else going on. And so I've had conversations like we all can pay, I'm not special, it's just I put in my 10,000 hours, I guess. And, and you know, one day I was sitting down and creator came in and talked to me. And I was seeking, what is the unifying principle? What is it that can tie this whole thing together? And creator presented me with a massive figure eight on its side, like a tray. And, and now we have to be sure to understand that where the cross happens, they don't touch there so that it's always flowing. Right? So we have here expansion contraction, we have all kinds of things inherent in that design, but the water never stops, right? So he shows T creator creator shows me a big infinity that's black on its side like this. And all of history, all of humanity, everything that has happened that we don't even know anymore, is rotating on this giant infinity. And I said, can it be that simple? And creator said everybody's looking for complication? Yes, it's that simple. So I don't It's funny, I've listened to other people other, you know, researchers and this and that who were considered, you know, worth listening to. And they, they come in and they say, you know, there's something about this infinity thing. There's something about the figure eight, and I'm like, Yes, I know. So I think my opinion is you received this imprint. That is a big piece of our understanding of how things work. And I can't say I totally understand it, but you received it. And so it has, it has meaning.

Agi Keramidas  34:13  
Indeed, and I will repeat two words that you said with this answer was the unifying principle. I think that's how you you call it a unifying principle. So that resonated with me. Hope where will you direct the listener who is completely fascinated now with what you have shared?

Hope Fitzgerald  34:36  
Well, I think the best thing to do is to go to my website, which is spread infinite hope.com I'm also on Facebook under that same name, and Instagram and all that stuff. I would invite people and I know that you might have mostly a your European audience, but I do I offer free methods. Patients every Monday there channelled meditations. And I have a library of them. I started them during the lockdown time as a way to help people. I didn't know what I was doing. But it all evolved. And we've had wonderful masters who have come and taught us as a collective. So I invite people to check those out. And I write a weekly blog as well. So, come in, come and join us.

Agi Keramidas  35:28  
Beautiful Hope before we wrap up. Today, there are two quick questions that I always ask my guests. The first one is What does personal development mean to you?

Hope Fitzgerald  35:47  
Oh, man, it's it's been a hallmark of my life. It's, I started very young, I'm still going. And to me, you know, we enter with nothing we leave with nothing except a polished soul. So it's an ongoing process. Me means everything.

Agi Keramidas  36:17  
And a hypothetical question, if you could go back in time and meet your 18 year old self, what's one piece of advice you would give?

Hope Fitzgerald  36:26  
Oh, my gosh. Don't worry about what other people think. Be be be confident, be confident, I had a long history of problems with confidence. And yeah, I would, I would tell her to just jump over that hurdle right away.

Agi Keramidas  36:51  
Hope, I want to thank you very much for this captivating conversation. There were some there were many elements that I personally picked. Not that simply the level of words. But there was something I think underlying which I picked, and I hope that if you are listening right now, you have also picked on that. I want to wish you all the very best with your mission and spreading this powerful knowledge and message to the world. And I will leave it to you for some actionable parting wisdom.

Hope Fitzgerald  37:39  
Well, I like to say stay wavy, because with every person who even uses a different tool, but if we if we use our tools to stay in love and compassion, we can know not only are we evolving our own souls, that we are impacting those around us. And so it's so important to do this. It's so so important, and it's fun. It's joyful. It doesn't have to be heavy. So that's what I would leave you with.

Agi Keramidas  38:22  
And before I end today's episode, if you enjoy this podcast, can you think of one person that would find it useful and share it with them? I'd really appreciate it. It helps the show grow, and you also add value to people you care about. Thank you. And until next time, stand out don't fit in!
