Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo
"If we don't actively dream our dream, we are being dreamt" - Andean Wisdom, Marcela Lobos Since our lives are micros of the macro, I think it's safe to say that most of us are going through transformations ... being called to elevate in our next expression and evolution ... shedding skins / exoskeletons / phoenix feathers / old parts, roles & constructs ... likely it's already happening ... but are we tuning in and REALLY listening ... and do we have the inquires that lead us to the essence of what we desire to create, and what is on our design to do/live/be? So instead of being trapped,...

As co-creators one of our roles is to understand that the current cultures, societies and systems are human created. Which means you and I - since we are human - have the capacity and responsibility - to embody the audacity to re-imagine how we and this world works. Now. Even if it appears we have little power to 'do' anything ... as Dorothy from Wizard of Oz realized after seeking wisdom and power outside herself: "The power was within me all along." One way we 'do' this to flex our "re-imagining muscles" through conversating and imaging possibilityinto reality. Today I'm inviting us to point...

In changing times, we need wisdom, insight, tools and practices to what I call "stay harmonized" - aka centered, sustained, empowered, clear, connected, calm, radiant, rooted on the inside no matter what chaos is happening on the outside. In this episode, Harmonized: Staying Centered & Empowered in a Chaotic World, I'll take us through some key inquiries, wisdom teachings and practices you can incorporate into your daily life. If we can be like a strong tree with deep roots, strong trunk and branches fed by the light, we can sway with the shift vs. get swept into or blown down by...

In the evolutionary, changing times we live in, we need full access to our "Wise Eyes" more than ever - they give us access to stabilization, co-creation and elevation.

Compassion is one of the most powerful energies we have as leaders of our own lives as well as in our teams, families, organizations, communities, projects and the society we co-create. But compassion is also one of those things that can feel so vast that we don’t know quite how to employ it – especially in realms like business, our work projects, or in situations that trigger our own defense mechanisms and sense of safety. One of my super powers is taking big, vast concepts like compassion and breaking them down so we can practically access and use this power in ways that elevate...

Last Feminine Power Time we talked about the "meta" and "collective" - what the themes, energy and patterns are in the larger field as we go into 2025. This gives us wisdom for how to move through this year. Today, we turn to the "personal" - what are the themes, awarenesses, perspectives and ways of looking at our lives and our choices within them. So we can walk through 2025 centered, sustained, focused on what matters, using this catalytic time for our good and the good of all. Without burning out, running back to normal or missing the possibility. Tune in for this year’s Feminine...

At the start of every lunar new year or about three weeks into the calendar year, I tune in to this inquiry "What is the wisdom that can guide us forward into the next year cycle?" First I we look at the "meta/macrocosm" bigger cycles and patterns happening that we are all a part of. Then we zone in to the "personal/microcosm" to discern how we set ourselves up with the support, structure, and strategies ... this is where our personal power and leadership lives. In this episode, we dive into the macro energies - which are bigger than ever this year. Which is why we are going to...

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head. DON'T: Let the chaos and pressure of the world, or the should's of your self-induced pressure swirl you up or stop you from breaking through to more elevated, expanded, supportive realities. DO: Turn inward, tune into your heart and tap into your deeper wisdom and desires. Dare to let those inspire and guide you. DO: Choose to tune into Wisdom before you choose your...

In a year where we spend 8,720 hours doing, giving, working, caring, creating, mentoring (and sleeping) … and so much more … to not create space to reflect on all we have done and who we have become, as well as recognize (and honor + receive) our impact, growth & progress, would be just plain crazy :) Plus honoring feels great! And when we pause to actually see and feel both the visible - but even more so the invisible - we actually RECEIVE energy in return in ways that make a big difference in how we experience our lives, world, wellbeing, security and satisfaction. ...
info_outlineHave you ever considered how the work you do and the way you work could be different if you & all people put Wellbeing at the center?
Imagine if our culture embraced that all humans are designed differently, which means what supports our wellbeing - mind, body, heart, spirit - will be different. Therefore, the way we work, and the environments we work within need to be flexible, fluid and responsive to the different kinds of work styles required to empower and enable diverse humans to thrive.
Imagine a world in which we defined work not just by what we did to receive money, but all the ways in which we give our energy, care, and time to a system…including caregiving & creative expression…as well as the jobs & roles we play within organizations and professions.
In this episode, Christine and Jennifer explore 3 Realms to illuminate the way you are designed to work best, liberate you from what doesn't align, and then begin to take small but significant steps to bring your reality into alignment with your design now. We'll also explore and illuminate what must be present for you in the environments you work within in order for you to truly thrive.
Remember: You and I have the power to co-create culture. Our power starts with choosing to intentionally cultivate the culture of our individual place + reality. Then the culture of the family + relational systems we live in. Then the team ecosystem we work in. Then the organizational, community & social ecosystems we swim in.
Rather than wait for the big ecosystem to shift to creating a culture that creates work environments based on what we need as humans to cultivate and maintain a strong foundation of wellbeing...we can embrace our power of #HarmonicDefiance and make small shifts that lead to bigger shifts that bring how we work and where we work into alignment with all realms of our wellbeing.
Between now and the next episode, Christine and Jennifer invite you to contemplate the inquiry: What shift could you make to bring your work more into alignment with your design and wellbeing? Bonus invitation: SHARE this podcast with a friend, and invite them to conversate on the inquiry with you. Let’s Stay Light in community with fellow Wise Beings – join us!
