Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo
Hi fellow co-creators! In this episode of Feminine Power Time, we pause together to set ourselves up for the cycle ahead — not just the linear calendar year, but the deeper transition we’re moving through as we rise into the next seasonal and lunar turn. This is an orientation conversation. A grounding conversation. One meant to help us stay centered, calm, and clear as the pace of the world continues to speed up. Every year at the start of a new yearly cycle - I tune in for wisdom, insight and focus for the path ahead, and then I wait until the guidance is clear. it's...

Hello Dear Wise Co Creators! I'm dropping in here as we cross the threshold of the completion of one linear calendar year and the start of the next with a ritual that never tires, and is like super food for our hearts, minds and spirits ... it's all about honoring and receiving from what you have already done, and using that energy to replenish yourself, so you can create from momentum as we rise up into a new year cycle vs. hit the ground running. I originally created this ritual episode in 2024, but I tuned in to it again today and I was like, must share this with all of you.! And invite you...

Fierce Grace Series: Feminine Leadership Archetypes - (#3 of 8) “Insight drops in when we create space.

She is the part of you who helps you move through the world not by pushing or over-efforting, but through resonance, relational intelligence, and spacious presence. Here's a partial transmission of the Weaver Connector ... notice what...

Our centerpoint for this exploration is : Reactor Emoter - Rooted Responder - Revolutionary Evolutionary, which one are you? How can you work with these 3...

Wise beings know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support us to grow our work, wealth and relationships, and to support our health, and keep us focused on what matters. Which is why one of my top three pratices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm and stay on the path of sustainable success, impact and wellbeing in the "Power Pause" + why I created the next two episodes for you, which are really more like a mini retreat. Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times....

I'm over the moon excited to be unveiling and sharing the 8 Feminine Leadership Archetypes with you in this 10th season as a way for 'how' we can move through these transformational times. These archetypes are a reflection of what happens when we bring feminine presence into leadership, and value it. They can help us to stay clear and centered + strong in playing our part + empowered to wisely create realities that are rooted in wholeness, sustainability, freedom, harmony, love, connection + possibility... even if the mainstream world is reflecting a different reality. I developed...

Today we begin our 10th season and 10th year. This episode will get us all centered in our stake - focus and intention - of what we are creating and why. To root us firmly in our power to co-create new realities on this planet now, at this time. In the ways we are uniquely designed to do so ... in the ecosystems we have influence over (vs. trying to do it all or feeling like we don't have the power to do anything). Our stakes for this season are: Re-Imaginging the way we and the world work, when the feminine leads. (from the inside out) Embracing the power, wisdom &...

Are you clearing your emotional and energetic fields - consistently? What do you do when you get "gooped" by the world, a person, the news, the physical and virtual environments you find yourself in, or even by your own emotional triggers? "Gooped" is my partner Noah and my term for what happens to us when we get emotionally, mentally, energetically, and physically weighed down, swirled up, affected by external forces. In the times we live in, it's really wise to ask yourself: What am I doing to keep my energy clear?Are my energetic and emotional boundaries strong? How do I know when...
info_outlineThe December Downshift is a practice we come back to year after year to signal to our internal systems (and the people and projects around us) that it's time to start the slow down vs. get swirled into the year-end or holiday madness, followed by new year start pressure. It's the cyclical co-creation rhythm and structure we practice to mimic the natural world, who has managed to prosper for billlions of year (and gives us a template for how to evolve, grow and thrive).
Think of the practice of downshifting at year end like driving a manual transmission car - you don't want to keep moving through Dec in 5th gear, at a high pace/ intensity/output still running on mental or emotional stressors from the weeks/months prior, and then hard downshift into neutral the last days of the year ... you'll blow out your system. And then likely need to recover from all the OVER indulging, doing, spending, connecting in the new year. So you start depleted vs. ready to receive.
It's a wiser to move through the gears one by one, over the course of weeks, so you can: savor your connections, deeply replenish, and receive from all you have created the previous 12 months. Making choices that support you to be healthy, clear and ready to receive inspiration, insight and clarity for focusing and co-creating next year.
Every year while the process of year-end downshifting is the same (there are 4 phases of downshifting - relax, rest, replenish, regenerate), the flavor and focus is different based on that year.
This year ... I tuned into create this year's December Downshift practice for you and received these themes: PEACE, PRESENCE, PEOPLE + PROSPER. I'll guide you through two somatic meditations + help you put intentional & spacious structure into place for Dec + Jan in these parts:
- Relax to Release
- Rest in Place
- Replenish to Regenerate
- Complete with the Holiday Self Sustainability Practice
For 15 years I've created this structure through December and January for the co-creators + people willing to do things differently, wiser. We'll be here again - keep tuning in weekly on the podcast + join us for the live happenings (see below).
With great heart,
Christine
