The 7 Universal Laws with Monica Ion | 021

Welcome back to another episode of Resilient AF with

Blair and Alana. But you'll notice Alana is not here today, so we're

gonna pause Alana and bring in Monica. Monica

Ion is the founder of the School of Universal Laws at FTP

methodology. Spending fifteen thousand hours between

she has supported entrepreneurs to achieve exponential growth and assisted women in

creating personal, financial, and professional fulfillment. Earning degrees

in psychology and sociology combined with a background in math and

science, Monica discovered the seven universal laws, a

framework that makes client breakthroughs predictable and repeatable.

Universal laws are a fundamental principle sorry. Universal laws are

fundamental principles that are thought to govern the

structure and behavior of the universe. They are seen as

constant, unchanging, and applicable to all things regardless of time

or space. The seven universal laws that Monica uses

are found to be the most relevant to understanding how the mind operates and

creates lasting transformation. Monica is the cofounder of

Inspired Life Circle and was rated Romania's number one coach

by the country's top business leaders. Her expertise has been featured in

media outlets such as Forbes, BDTV, The Women,

and her forthcoming book, The Seven Universal Laws, will be available on

have you here today, Monica. Welcome.

Hi, Blair. Thank you very much for having me. Since we

met and we connected from heart to heart, you have a special place

in my life. Thank you very much for having me here. Oh, it's an honor.

And so I met Monica a few years ago through her husband. We were at

the same event. You know, we live in very different parts of the world. We

were both in Mexico at this event, and we had a beautiful dinner together.

And she actually met me in a time of

chaos right after my parents had died. And

so it's so beautiful that our friendship has evolved and that

you've seen me do the growth, the healing, the work.

And as I've gotten to know you and learn more about the seven universal laws

framework, I'm able to see actually some of it

that I've been doing without knowing I'm doing it, but also have more

awareness on how to apply them to my life, to my

business, to my healing. So for me, it's an honor to have you here

and an honor to share your expertise with our community. So thank

you. Thank you. So we have a

few things in common, and something that we have in common

is that both of our moms have passed away.

Yes. So let's let's talk about your mom. I would love to

know the story of your mom, her name, and

what happened.

This might get emotional for me. My

mom passed away five years ago. Her name was

Eva. And, you know, I had

I think I had one of the most spiritual experiences,

with her passing away. What happened is that we knew

that she's, terminally ill. And I

was there next to her almost every day,

you know, trying to support her, cheer her, be with her, just be with

her. And the doctor asked me if I want to be

next to her if she's gonna have her last breath.

And I said yes. So one of the evenings, the doctor

called, and he said, this is the night when it's gonna

happen. And he asked me if I want to be

there with my mom. So I said yes because I knew I had to be

here I had to be there. I didn't know why, but I just knew

that I have to be there. So I called my dad and we all

went we both went to the hospital, and we spent the

night with my mom. I was aware of the law of

transformation because here is

when life and the laws of the universe come together.

I was aware of the law of transformation, and I was so so curious to

see how it plays out. So in the

morning, when the sun was rising up, my mom,

had her last breath. We talked with my dad and we said,

look, when this happens, from what we learned,

we have to be there and, you know, just saying to the person that it's

all fine. You're okay. We are here for you.

So we went out because in Romania, there have to be,

this resuscitation procedure, regardless

what's the stage of the, patient. So they tried to do

that. It was too brutal for me to assist to that. So we went out,

on a balcony, in the hospital, and, you know, we just

spent some time with mom, connecting with mom. And when we

came back in to the hallway, we met the doctor and two

nurses there. And the law of

transformation says that nothing is missing. It just

transforms, and you have a a new form. So I

was looking for my mom to show up there,

and the doctor spoke with a voice, which was very

similar to my mom's. He had this kindness, this empathy

nurses had brown eyes exactly like my mom had

and that, you know, kind, warm look. So I couldn't

believe that my mom was already there. It was just, you know, minutes away,

from the moment she passed, and she was already there in a different form.

And I will just share the next step of the story, not the whole

thing. We went home with my dad afterwards and you

know my dad is this kind of guy that expects the woman to put the

food in front of him and prepare the coffee for him.

And we were at the time, we were in my flat

in Transylvania. So when we went back

home like never, my father prepared the

coffee for me and the food for me as my mom

usually did when she was visiting me. So here

again, my mom was present, and I felt so much gratitude, and I

felt her presence there. It was unbelievable.

So she didn't I didn't feel that she leave she left.

She was present there with me with us, and I was

just grateful to be able to connect with her in this

new form. Wow.

First, Monica, I am so sorry for your loss,

and thank you for sharing all of that. May your mom's memory be a

blessing. And it's really

interesting because now this is I've heard you tell this story a few times, and

every time you tell it, I have these flashbacks to my

personal experience with how my mom is showing up in different ways.

And I think it's so beautiful that you walked into that experience

with that lens. Then

this is amazing. Yeah. Sorry. I was just gonna say just because having that

lens of transformation knowing that her energy is still

present or her soul and then it's gonna, you know, show up in different ways

must have brought you a level of comfort,

like, walking into that. Definitely.

Definitely. I was I knew what to look for.

So it happened. It was right there in front of my eyes, and it

happened again and again and again. And the other side of the

law of transformation says that whatever the form

is manifesting in, it's happening for

you. So my mom leaving,

she gave me the greatest presence she could give me

because she opened the space for other moms

to step up who were really able to support me

in my highest value, in what's important to me With

what she was, with what she knew, with everything from

her being, she did everything. And then

she gave me this enormous gift to create the space

for other people to step up, to play the

role of the mom in relationship with me and to actually

support my growth in a way she couldn't do anymore. She wasn't

able. She didn't have the gifts for that anymore. I think that's

really beautiful, and thank you for sharing all of that.

And, you know, if you're listening out there and you have yet to lose

a parent or someone you love, you know, I wanna

invite you to to dive into Monica's seven universal laws and

learn more about the law of transformation. And, Monica, so there's

seven universal laws in your framework. We've talked about the law of transformation.

What are the six other laws in the framework?

The law of duality, which I consider is the foundation

for everything. The law of reflection that states

that whatever you see in others is you have within. The law

of order, which is connected with the manifestation and the

ability to manifest. You manifest to the degree of the order you have in

life. The law of synchronicity that states that

support and challenge are there always simultaneously.

The law of heuristic escalation, which states that if

you want something very, very much, you are actually pushing it away.

And the law of fractals that says that there is no chaos, there is

a hidden order in everything.

Yeah. You know, that last one, there's a hidden order, there is no chaos.

Oh, man. There's times in my life where where I wish I would have known

about that because sometimes life feels so chaotic.

And, you know, I'm I'm learning about these laws, and

it's really eye opening because it's science and it's, you know,

spirituality and it's math and physics all

combined, and there's scientific proof. So, like, it has, yeah, a

bit of woo, and I love it. Like, I'm a wooju. I'm wooish and Jewish,

but but there's science. And when something is is backed by

science, it's really hard to deny its existence. Right?

I agree. And this is why I love them because it

answers also to my need for logic and

science and, you know, scientifically proven things.

And at the same time, it brings you to the highest level

of spirituality you can have. So for me, spirituality is

actually the expression and manifestation of these

universal laws. And when you are able to align with

them, which is, you know, not always happens perfectly.

You kind of forget and then you get back to center. When you have

that and you are aligned, you truly feel that there is

a meaning in this life. There is a purpose for you to serve and

to manifest. And there is this higher order you

are part of, and that life is basically

beautiful with all the challenges we are facing. And when

you see the other side of the challenge, which is the law of duality in

action, see the blessings of a challenge, or see the downside

of something you are in love with. When you are seeing that, you

literally feel one with everything. It takes a bit of

exercise because, you know, when you have still past trauma or, you

know, big judgements, heavy judgements, and you

carry emotional weight, it takes a bit until you

release those and you transform those. But afterwards,

you're in this space where you can consciously create

your destiny, which I think is amazing. I think we are here for

that. I love that. And there like, just to be clear,

like, there are more than seven universal laws.

You specifically chose these seven. Do you wanna share with our

listeners how you discovered the universal laws and how

you came up with this specific framework?

Sure. Gladly. The first encounter with the

universal laws was through the book, called Kybalion,

where there are universal laws mentioned. For my

taste and for my inner alignment, it wasn't

scientifically enough and also it wasn't enough to

apply it to human psychology. So I studied more and

more and I started to work with these from different

courses, different courses in physics, in

sciences, in, psychology also. And

I started to use them one by one until I

integrated them in this framework, which you can

use for every to sort out every

problem a human being can have. And there there are

protocols that are based on these universal laws that you

can use to solve any problem. For instance, there is

this challenge people have with imposter syndrome or,

with, lack of confidence. So

this can be translated into universal laws. I will stay I

will take the imposter syndrome. The imposter syndrome

basically means that you appreciate somebody and you hold up

that person as being the standard, and you are not recognising

your own value. So we use the law of reflection to see

whatever you admire in them, you have within, and we

are looking for the specific form you have that

in because that's your gift. And the story I'm

sharing here is about me admiring my dad's mathematical intelligence

and scientific intelligence, and I want it to be like he

was, like he still is. I want it to be like that. I

want it to please him, to prove him that, you know,

I'm worthy of his appreciation. But when I did when I did

the exercise using the law of reflection on

him, I noticed that my intelligence my intelligence expands more than

the mathematical and scientifical intelligence,

because I'm able to pick up on emotions, to understand how

things are connected in one person's mind, and how they create a certain

reality out of that. And that's a different type of intelligence. And

when I embrace that, my business

really skyrocketed because I integrated who I

am truly in my business.

Wow. That's phenomenal. I think that's that's really

cool. And so these seven universal laws,

you know, you you began applying them to clients, and you

quickly rose to be the number one coach in

Romania. And now you're bringing your

expertise outside the borders of Romania to business leaders,

entrepreneurs, you know, women all over the

world. What

what advice do you have for those

well, maybe we'll just I'll make it very specific. So someone like me, a

woman entrepreneur who is two decades

into her career, who wants to make more money,

more impact. How do

I begin applying these seven universal laws so

that I can achieve these goals?

Sure. That's a very good question. And for me, it's related to

exponential growth. And, there are

some layers, and it can it can be a bit complicated when you

actually are doing it. But imagine that you are at a

certain level now. And the reason for which your

brain chooses to stay at that level, maybe when you are there

for, I don't know, two, three years and you didn't grow for the last

or not to the degree you expect it to grow. Then it

means for your brain that you perceive that you have,

you know, more benefits than drawbacks at that level.

More benefits than drawbacks means you have attachments and you have

some, connections that you feel that

you need and you don't want to let go of. For

instance, you have certain friendships which would be affected if

you would earn 10 times more. Just the subconscious

mind, it's not that you are thinking that way, it's that your subconscious mind is

stating that. Or if you are earning 10 times more, what would

happen with your relationship with your family and others?

And there is a perceived negativity in that as

a threat, and also is a perceived positivity in

staying there. So it's a threat if you leave, it's a benefit if you

are staying. This means that your mind is just

has this balance which has to be transformed. And

the next level would be, which you can

visualize how it looks like and you have a person which

represents best the next level. So after

entang detangling these connect conditionings that are

keeping you to the level to that level, we

see where you can grow. And we use, for instance, the law of reflection

to see whatever that person you perceive, it's at that

level you already have within positive traits and

negative traits, and that gives you an exponential growth. So

this is a general approach to the exponential growth. If we

are taking it to to money, we can ask the same questions.

What are your benefits that you have this certain amount of annual

income, and what would have been the drawbacks? What would be the drawbacks if

you've add 10 times more? And then we see what

are the subconscious reasons for which your

mind prefers to have this specific income, not 10 times

more. And then we work on dissolving those.

Wow. I just wanna work with you. Like, let's stop recording this

podcast, and let's let's dive in. I think that's a it's

just so it seems so simple.

Like, once you know the framework, it just seems like why aren't

we all doing this, You know, for

every aspect of our life. I I mean, I'm just it's so fascinating.

Okay. One more one more question kind of, like, on how to apply it. Because

this podcast is about resilience, and life throws

us curve balls. You know, illness, injury, grief, all

sorts of challenges, work, personal health with

ourselves. Maybe we'll just use

the the grief aspect because you and I started talking about

that at the beginning of our interview. How can

we use these seven universal laws

to help us navigate grief in right when the

grief happens, usually, it's just so painful and you feel like it's never

gonna end. How can we use these seven universal laws

to start to heal? Great

question. The first law I would apply is

the law of transformation. When somebody

passes away and then they are not in this life anymore,

we are missing usually the traits that we really

appreciate about that person. We are not missing the traits that

we would, you know, that we're pushing our buttons.

So make a list of all the traits you perceive you are lacking, you

are missing. And then for each of the traits,

see who is displaying those traits towards you.

Because they are picked up on immediately. Somebody shows

them, displays them towards you, manifests them towards you.

And then see what are the benefits to you

that the the trait shows up in this new form.

Because this is when you realise that it happens for

you. So you apply the law of transformation, seeing who picked up

on the new trait. And then we apply the law of duality by

seeing what are the blessings of the new form the trait

shows up. And if you do it, you know, consequently, you do

all the traits. Usually, there are about seven traits that someone is

missing. When you see how those are happening

for you, not to you, and then you see the gift

of the person living. And I know it can sound a

bit, you know, strange, the gift of the person living. But in

every situation is an equal blessing to the pain we

perceive. So the more the pain, the bigger the blessing.

And when you are seeing that, we actually able we are actually able to

honor the person who left because we are not attached to

a specific form. We recognize everything they did, and we

recognize the perfection of them leading in a specific

moment. Wow. That's powerful.

And okay. So so that's a really great activity.

You know, listing those those traits, you know, around seven, you

know, seeing how they're showing up in other people or in your

life. What else can we do?

Well,

I'm not sure. Maybe just

accept that griefing is very

conditioned culturally. There are people,

who are celebrating when somebody's dying. For

the Nordic people going to Valhalla was an honor and they were

waiting for that to happen, and they were celebrating that.

So all of I mean, a lot of what we are

feeling, they are just emotions we think

we should feel when something happens

because we saw it in others. So by being

enlightened when somebody dies, it can feel strange, but

it doesn't have to be. So when you're thinking about your

life like this and you are questioning why do you feel

something, if there it's there, do you really need to grieve, do you really

need to spend two two years in grieving,

then you start to accept that the

reality you are perceiving as being reality is way more colorful,

and there are different ways of thinking that can help you to

expand your perspectives. And one of the most

blissful way of thinking is to understand that everything

is happening for you.

Pretty profound, and I think that is really beautiful. I actually bought this

book. I can't remember what it's called right now, but it's a beautiful coffee table

book. And it talks about the different cultures around death

and grief around the world. And there's a lot of really

beautiful traditions, and what you just

said is a really beautiful way to look at it. So

thank you for that. Thank you. Oh, I mean,

I just think anyone that can be in your world is, you know, going to

learn and even learn quickly how to apply these

seven universal laws to their life, whether it's personal health, relationships,

business. How can people work with you?

Like, if someone's like, I wanna I wanna work with Monica. Like, I know that

you're not really taking clients. You have a wait list. Like, how can people work

with you? That's a great question too. Thank

you. We just launched the School of Universal

Laws. This is where if somebody wants to learn how to apply

these laws for themselves or even to support

clients through coaching or therapy, that's a great start

that's a great place to start. Another way is

to sign up for these, shorter programs.

There are two available right now in English. One is

Power on Heals, which is for women to work on their past and their

trauma, from the past. And also the second one

is Inspired Money Foundation. This supports

you to grow your inner, self

worth so you can create a bigger container for the money to

come in. It's very scientifical. I know it doesn't sound so, but it

has a logic behind it. And,

the last thing, as you mentioned at the beginning, we are launching

the book with the seven universal laws in May

year. So you'll find it in you will find it on Amazon. I'm looking forward

to it. Yes. I'm looking forward to it. I

I mean, there's so many different ways. Maybe one of Monica's

programs is right for you. Maybe you wanna have a book and carry

Monica around with you. You know, I

think and, I mean, both of them will feed into each other. Someone might get

the book and wanna work with you in one of your programs and vice versa.

And I think it's such a gift that you're now in the English speaking world

because we really need this right now. Like, there's a lot

of turmoil out there. And and as as we

are becoming more evolved, we're all becoming more in tune with our

emotions and and our feelings

and having these tools to help us navigate

as we stop numbing and start living, I think, is going to help

us live the fullest human experience.

So well said. And you're right. Especially

now, especially now with so many extreme emotions and

so many polarities, you know, just having one one of these

laws, like the law of duality, to be able to get back to center.

And even though outside, there are a lot of things

happening, still being able to create your own life and your

own destiny. I think that's amazing. That's powerful. It

is. I love this. So as we wrap up, I know you gave a lot

of advice and tips, but I would love for you to share a piece of

advice for someone who's about to lose their mother, you

know, in relation to the law of transformation. What advice do you

have?

To search for the gift your mother prepared to

give to you. That's beautiful.

So, Monica, thank you for being a guest on Resilient

AF. It is anytime I get to spend with you is is a gift

and an honor, and I'm so grateful to bring your

expertise to our community. So thank you so much.

Thank you very much, Blair. It has been an honor, and I look forward for

our next connections, next meetings. Thank you. Which is gonna be

in Bali. I'm so excited. Yes. For those of you who are new to my

world, I've started to cofacilitate grief retreats, and I'm doing

my first grief retreat, with Rachel in Bali, and I get

to meet Monica. So I'm in person. I mean, again, I get to hang out

with her, but, essentially, I get to spend time with her. And I'm

just so excited for that because I love my time with Monica. And

you wanna get more of Monica in your life in the show notes or her

links. And just remember, friends, we do this every week.

We have a new podcast for you every Tuesday. You can watch us on YouTube,

listen in your favorite player. It's okay to not be okay.

Life is full of ups and downs, lefts and rights, but you don't have to

go through it alone. That's why the Global Resilience Project exists.

That's why our books exist. This podcast exists. Let us walk with

you through the darkness. Let us be that lighthouse in the storm.

And just remember, you are resilient AF. Thank

you.
