Episode 185 Witnessing as an act of self love and universal lov 07/29/2024

Episode 185 Witnessing as an act of self love and universal lov This episode is an invitation to move into more of yourself through self witnessing and witnessing of others in the purest sense. It’s an invitation to enter into your own deep wisdom — that part of you that knows that you are no longer interested in living in polarity and not only the very visible and evident polarity — but also the more subtle energy of polarity that keeps you from being in resonance with your own authentic self. It's a call to reclaim the true essence of your divine and infinite nature, and to release, like a set of heavy clothes that no longer fit, the false programs you have been wearing. When you become adept at truly witnessing yourself, you are able to deepen into the medicine of love that you are, you are better able to express the language of love that comes from connecting to your own Source without the interference of outside programs of polarity and division. It is a powerful act of self love, which naturally becomes universal love on this planet. Here is the poem I wrote when I first taught my Witnessing classes years ago, which I think expresses the deep joy that true witnessing can bring to our lives; Show me who you are and I will celebrate that beauty with you Show me how you are here expressing Show me the beauty of your authentic voice witnessed I long to hear it, as much as I long to hear my own Show me who you are and my ears will drink in that beauty in you As I open to see the beauty in myself and allow myself to be witnessed in all the ways I move in this world I can see more of the dance of love expressing and moving through you Show me who you are and we will dance barefoot on the Earth with joy I will give you all the space you need to show me who you are I will witness your grace as you show me that note being sung through you to all of creation Those notes we sing together with our love as we bring medicine to this Earth Show me who you are—truly and we will sing with that beauty in us (Christine Pensa) When you begin to know that aspect of yourself that is divine, that is infinite, that is pure love, and is here now to anchor that on this earth - you don’t need to judge, give advice, etc. when someone else is expressing. You honour the divinity of others and celebrate with joy as both of you move into deeper and deeper creative expressions of your embodied light.

EPISODE 179 Elaira Flow, (Part 2) How holistic Capacity work moves us into new self leadership in business and life 01/26/2024

EPISODE 179 Elaira Flow, (Part 2) How holistic Capacity work moves us into new self leadership in business and life Elaira Flow returns for what organically became part two to our original episode 151. You can find that episode in the show page archives (Episode 151 The Curren-sea of our new businesses with Elaira Flow). Elaira brings over 20 years of experience as a trauma informed somatic business coach, a healer with extrasensory abilities and an architect of new business paradigm that is necessarily holistic, including all aspects of ourselves. Over the years she has observed trends and directions of business and what is thought possible through structure only, which often does not work. Her work is an invitation for us to approach business (and life) holistically. The spark that lit this joy-filled conversation was Elaira’s instagram post about the clarion call to move into being a leader in our own lives, rather than accepting everything outside ourselves. Self leadership capacity is one of the things she focuses on in her work. She shares that in the new business paradigm we are the leaders of our own lives, claiming both that freedom and responsibility for ourselves. This year opened with a powerful new frequency in which many of us are hearing. It is a call to step away from simply accepting what has been, and being filled with what we don’t want, into more of what we want to see on this Earth now. Elaira invites people to notice and compare how much of their day is spent accepting life, and how much time they spend per day “crafting life,” dreaming, choosing, paying attention to what they truly want. Elaira has crafted a model of 8 capacities, all of which are holistic, reaching into our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. She calls our businesses, the dress you put on these healed aspects of yourself—learning and recognizing your capacity covers it all. Aligning our energetics, our blockages, our nervous systems so the mind and the action steps can flow, rather than staying as Elaira says, “in familiar hell.” She says if we create from the brain only, we continue to create what we know and we do not step into the dreaming because we become sidetracked by the “greed of how.” Capacity work does not mean we will never encounter fear or doubt, Elaira says, the difference is that we will learn how to hold more, both the “good” and the “bad” so nothing stops us from moving through in alignment with ourselves, with flow and with ease. With pioneering work like what Elaira is offering, this is how, together, we change the world. So it is.

Episode 177 Sahala Larnyoh Sing Your Beautiful Note, An infinite ongoing song with all of life 12/21/2023

Episode 177 Sahala Larnyoh Sing Your Beautiful Note, An infinite ongoing song with all of life This is a very special episode, an offering, a neo-ceremony through the kind of ongoing, infinite, cosmic conversation you have with heart friends. My beautiful guest is Sahala Larnyoh a woman with a powerful voice that can communicate many layers of frequencies. In addition to our conversation, (which I feel is a sound bath) you will hear an exclusive preview of Sahala’s new song with Altosounds mid-episode. AND, at the end of the episode we have co-created a musical poetry meditation, which is an invitation for you to deepen into more of yourself through sound and silence. Sahala shares how she moved through what she calls the “chaos” of her lineage and began an independent path. Her journey, her bravery and her authentic heart are powerful and inspirational reminders for us all. Sahala tells a story of her youth, one where summoned the courage to stand up before an audience for the first time. She says, “the spotlight hit, I sang …that powerful song at that age, that was the moment where an opportunity opened up for me.” It’s an invitation to everyone listening to be part of the larger conversation where we remember how valuable we truly are. We are here to sing our beautiful note. Whether that is literal or a metaphor, each one of us is needed, each note is here to be sung. A remembering that each of us has gifts that only we have the keys to. The more you allow the truth of yourself to rise up, the more powerfully your note comes through. In practical terms, it means letting go of self censoring. Letting go of doing what you think will help you fit in, to the detriment of your health, and well being. It means doing the work to inner-stand your own dreams and to begin to know and follow ever more of your true voice/self. To sing your note actually begins in the silence. That’s here you begin to hear it, and begin the step by step practice following the sparks that light you up. Enjoy this episode and singing your beautiful note, after all, it’s why you’re here.

Episode 172 What's common is not necessarily "normal" (a reprise episode with Dr. Brianne Grogan) 07/21/2023

Episode 172 What's common is not necessarily "normal" (a reprise episode with Dr. Brianne Grogan) As my summer hiatus continues, I am bringing forward past episodes that present themselves for another listen. This one came through a number of synchronicities. As I explained in the new introduction, I found great value in re-listening to this one and was able to deepen into the message Dr. Brianne Grogan shared. The original episode was titled; The Practical Magic of the Pelvic Floor with Dr. Brianne Grogan The episode was not just about pelvic health, it was about how we can open our consciousness to include more of what we choose for our own bodies and our own health. My powerful guest was Dr. Brianne Grogan who brings forward a treasure trove of wisdom for best practices for vital health and a life well lived—therefore, practical magic. As Dr. Bri shared, the pelvic floor is the epicentre for so many of the body’s operations. We discussed bio-tensegrity a whole body approach. When one part of the body is compromised, the entire structure responds to balance out the problem. Many of us are still responding to the symptoms that might show up and not getting to the root of the issue. Learning more about the foundational aspect of the pelvic floor in particular brings us back into awareness first, and then control of our body’s vital health. That’s the practical. The magic comes in when we recognize that much of what we have accepted about our health and wellness may simply be an outdated belief system that is ready to be released. The invitation is to explore what beliefs you might be holding and what you have accepted as truth that might not be. Stepping into your own knowing and finding the right formula for yourself. Dr. Bri has devoted herself to helping others understand their bodies through her incredible, accessible, information rich YouTube channel, Dr. Bri’s Vibrant Pelvic Health. She says that beginning with an awareness of the hidden anatomy of the pelvic floor (which most of us were not taught about) is key to understanding and trusting this part of our body and how it corresponds to our overall health. Many of the issues that result from pelvic floor dysfunction are very “common” but that doesn’t mean that they are okay or that we need to live with them. Gaining self awareness and understanding allows us to take the reigns back with confidence. We become adept at weaving the practical and the magical into the tapestry of our own embodiment. As Bri says, It’s the challenges that change you and there are gifts in every challenge. I encourage every woman listening to go to Dr. Bri’s website to learn more, to visit her YouTube channel and in particular to watch the two videos she made on the basics of pelvic floor anatomy and health, and to tune into all parts of your own body to inner stand and choose the best for your own radiant health and joy-full living now!

Episode 167 Laura Bolton, a Social Media Liberation journey 03/10/2023

Episode 167 Laura Bolton, a Social Media Liberation journey This engaging and heart opening episode features guest Laura Bolton and what she terms her “radical” decision to leave all social media. As we discovered in our discussion, it’s not just about social media, it’s about everything. Our conversation is an invitation to notice where and how we are participating in any kind of toxic pattern or relationship in our own lives. Collectively we are stepping away from people, places, and things that are draining us like never before. We have begun to recognize the time to act is NOW. We are at a pivotal moment on this planet where we can choose to drop eons of programs and build something new from our true selves—without distraction, and distortion. Laura shared some of the reasons behind her decision to leave social media, and the “utter relief” she felt afterward without the “tiniest piece of regret.” She said she feels lighter, calmer and has much more energy to focus on things that matter to her. Many of us have found connection and comfort in social media particularly over the last few years. Although there were many good things that sprang from that (like feeling understood and less alone) Laura says she was finding the negative frequency and parasitic energies have become more and more prevalent on the platform. She became aware that, for her, social media platforms felt like “a digital slave system that profits from your time and attention.” We discussed how a relationship with anything outside of ourselves can be abusive or toxic when our own thoughts and behaviours become overly influenced. Laura maintains that if examined, most people would find that they do not have a liberated, healthy relationship with social media. Laura finds asking questions to be a beautiful internal exploration. As she says, no one knows what is best for you, but you, and, it’s really important to self inquire. Here are a few questions that arose from this episode; What am I fearful of missing out on? Is my human need to have certainty limiting me? What is it I would choose for myself? Where/when/by who has my time and attention been hijacked or manipulated? How can I give this relationship/practice/habit up? How do I find my community if I’m not online? After she made the decision to leave social media, Laura found there were many new opportunities that opened up because she was willing to let go of what wasn’t serving her. She shared some ideas for creating the awareness around whatever toxic situation we find ourselves in, and how to practically allow yourself to explore what is happening in your own life. It’s possible to shift anything once we become aware and we build in the support we need. We have the power to choose who and what we surround ourselves with.

Episode 163 Standing in the Light of YOU, Finding that Sweet Spot As the year draws to a close it is ever more important to consciously navigate your sacred self care. Being present is a powerful act that brings you and those around you into the higher frequency of who you truly are. Noticing what, who, where you are hitting the edges of you and are being pulled away from that centre. Choosing to stand in the light of you. To close out the year, podcast host Christine Pensa shared one of her older poems that feels particularly relevant for this moment on the Earth. ~Divine Feminine Creatrix Story~ Mysteries and joys and stories you have yet to dance are here within you Your Body Temple’s knowing is vaster than any ocean, and yet dear sister, you have chosen to dip just your tiny perfect toe in those flowing waters Know, entering the cave of your own deep wisdom is your mastery to choose That birthright, which you have been told is outside of you, is simply yours to claim Everything is within you Beloved sister Open to the fullness of you Open to the vast ocean that is you Choose, not to limit yourself by what you have been told by others, by the distorted mirrors, the projected images that were never you, by false stories of what is ready to drop from this reality Choose your untamed nature, choose your unlimited self Choose, dear sister, choose to embody your joy, your grace, your ease, your wisdom, your beauty, the magic of your power to imagine The soup that holds all the knowing of this beautiful world is yours to drink, you have only to serve yourself a bowl from the Temple inside your Heart A blanket of light woven from all the stars in all the galaxies is yours also, you have only to choose to weave the Cosmic Mother’s whispers into your dreamtime story And, dear sister, the portals of your strong feet, your lower mouth are yours to be in union and communion with your Divine Mother, the Earth as you both choose to vibrate with greater and greater pure love Choose, dear sister, to … be the embodiment of your own Temple Choose to; Dance into the light of you Dive into the ocean of you Sing the stories of you Be in LOVE with YOU So be it, SO IT IS ~ (poetry Christine Pensa) Wishing all the listeners many heart opening be-moreings as we move into more of our brilliance in 2023.

Episode 159 Kaya Usher’s Frequency Technology, a space of magnificent becoming 10/06/2022

Episode 159 Kaya Usher’s Frequency Technology, a space of magnificent becoming Kaya Usher is my very special repeat guest in this episode. She’s a true pioneer and brilliant at sharing and showing others how to navigate the waters of these times. Kaya’s story is an inspiring one, it is one that can uplift anyone who choses to open to their own infinite possibility. Her journey led her through hardships, which might have derailed many of us, but through all the challenges she held strong to her desire to know her true self more deeply. While being fully human, she models a way through the woods for all of us. In this episode Kaya shares how after moving through her challenges there was a time of learning and training before she was ready to download The Simplicity Platform. The 8 Tenets, or pillars of that platform are the simple, yet very powerful core of her teaching. We talked about how this work is a frequency technology and why it is the perfect platform for these evolutionary times. She calls it, “A space of engagement, of literally surrendering back into our highest knowledge, back into our highest possibility. It is an action space where we need focus, discipline and trust to truly let go of what isn’t us.” Kaya says frequency technology is an un-teaching that helps us recognize and release the constructs we have been carrying. In fact she says frequency technology, “…is the building blocks of all creation.” With this technology we are able to transcend the outdated models of the past. It is about becoming an organic human. Deeply connected to ourselves, allowing us to be whole. Simply and powerfully, Kaya concludes, “This technology is simply here to show you once again all the tools available to you from the space you were created. It is magnificent and there is not one single person who cannot open up again to who they truly are.” I trust your experience of this podcast will be one which brings the higher frequency of the true you more online than ever.
