Episode 202 Witnessing as an act of self love, Part two
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
Part two of Episode 185 Witnessing as an act of self love and universal love. This episode was prompted by my friend and mentor comments this morning when she said, people, places and things can wait for your answer. A powerful reminder that we can wait for our own best answer, which may take some time, as we come into alignment with our own source connection, and not in reaction to the timeline or agendas of others. People can often hide behind responses, patterns and programs that are not serving humanity. As we encounter these people, places and things, how can we choose to...

Episode 201 Time to quit watering seeds of past identities, or how we have confused numbness with pleasure
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
This episode is an invitation to notice where we have confused numbness with pleasure. We’ve been sold and educated on false pleasure. Pleasure is meant to open us up, not close the door to the world of discomfort and false selves. Exploring why we might have been misled about what pleasure means and why it’s an important element right now to help us to stop watering the seeds of the past, including our own past identities. As we recognize where we are watering the seeds of past identities, we begin to notice our own evolution. We pay attention to the shifts we are ready for, our...

Episode 200 Metaphors as the seeds calling us to the vastness of our being
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
This episode is an exploration of metaphor as the sweet nectar that calls to you and allows you to discover more of the sweet, sweet nectar you are for this world. So often a metaphor appears right in front of our eyes. Consider that it has been sent by our own hearts to point us in the direction we are longing for. The message is quiet, gently insistent asking for our attention, very different from the cacophony of the outer world banging on. If we are willing to pay attention, metaphors become these beautiful tiny seeds planted, calling us to move into more of the vastness of our...

Episode 199 You as the fulcrum of consciousness here and now
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
Many of us are tuning into the incredible amplification of energy happening now. The amplification includes both the chaos and the positive frequency of our beautiful embodiment of pure love. This kind of love once seemed the purview of mystics or saints. Now, it is becoming more apparent that it is our time to embody, in whatever humble role we can, this kind of love. We are being called to hold this space in our own lives. The call of this moment is to join the ranks of those “manning the fulcrum of consciousness” as it expands into it’s next evolution, and at the same time we...

Episode 198 Nature’s timing, let yourself flow(er) the love you are as part of our beautiful evolution
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
The invitation of this episode is to notice where you are aligned, or not, with nature. Noticing your ability to tune into thriving versus survival in these times. Now is the moment to let flow, or flower, the pure love you are here to embody in this world. Paying attention to how you are moving through your day and noticing how nature’s timing can model a natural flow in each moment. Though it is also in our nature to flower, to evolve, we have a program that says, I want to get “back to health”. What if instead of fighting to get back to who we were, we allowed ourselves to...

Episode 196 Lessons of the cicadas, the shedding of many layers and finding your wings
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
Though this past weekend in many parts of the world has been programmed to mean the end of summer, our inner knowing and nature’s vibrancy would tell us otherwise. Noticing this how this lands in your own body, emotions and mental attitude is a great sacred self care practice. During a summer full of lovely visitors, and all kinds of experiences, the cicadas came in as beautiful teachers for these powerful times of change. As I was able to witness part of their life cycle, I reflected on how the splitting open of their old world in what seemed to me a kind of backwards trust fall, was...

Episode 195 Navigating our natural conclusions in these times
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
Episode 195 Navigating our natural conclusions in these times What are ready to walk away from and how do we move through the nuances of letting go in these times? This episode is an invitation to become present to what we are holding onto through habit, obligation or simply inattention. As I pondered the theme of this episode, I encountered a beautiful analogy around letting go. If you as you are now walked into a room and your friend of 35 years was there, would you still be attracted to them? Imagine that is not only a person, but a place, a thing, an action, a...

Episode 194 Your natural alchemy is choosing to remember your divinity
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
This episode is an exploration of what and why we become distracted by the mental, emotional or physical events that keep us small or in looping patterns, instead of choosing the bigger picture of our own divinity and natural adeptness for alchemising what shows up in our lives. As we continue to move into a deeper knowing of our own divinity, we are being called to be more impeccable with letting go of what does not serve our future/new selves. At this precious moment when we are so beautifully ripe for the next expansion into ourselves we can get distracted by things that come in to pull our...
info_outlineThe metaphor of the caterpillar and the butterfly has always been a powerful one for our own evolution - the trust and knowing the caterpillar embodies in order to let go of every single cell she was in order to metamorphosize into the butterfly inspires.
Now, there is an invitation to open to what comes after the butterfly. These next steps are not written in stone, but they are written on our hearts and in the trust we have for our own connection to pure love.
What is it exactly that we are being invited to move into? It’s the to move into more of who each of us is. Consider that we already are/have everything inside us to become what is beyond the butterfly. Just as the caterpillar trusts she is already the butterfly, we too can trust in order to expand beyond the limitations we have known. We are welcoming an evolution for ourselves and for everyone around us. There is no need for saving others, there is simply allowing the release of what we were to BE-come more of who we are ready to be. Moving through the world, focused, powerful, free, fully ourselves, that is what clears a path for others to become more of themselves.
This episode is an invitation to see, feel, and know what is next for you.
Noticing as you let go of so much that is not you, what echoes are returning and how little substance much of what was has for you. Moving forward solidly standing in your own source of pure love. It’s why we’re here at this powerful time on the planet.
~Oh that moment
When you realize
The suffering is the nonsense that you chose to believe was you
When you innerstand
You can
Let it lift off
Leaves
floating through the sky
Landing softly
at your feet
Then blown away on the winds
Of the change
You are
Here
Now~
