Balancing Your Inner Feminine & Masculine Energy (AR #88)

1 Comment

At the end of 2018, I reached a breaking point. I had just wrapped up another big and busy year of work, and rather than feeling happy, fulfilled and proud of what I had achieved, I instead found myself feeling exhausted, sad, empty and depleted.

I knew something was out of balance, and I needed to make some changes. So, I took a big break last December and stepped away from work for most of the month. I travelled, I spent time with family and friends, I slept, rested and took care of myself.  

I took some time to get honest with myself and reflect over the past 6+ years of running my coaching practise and a full-time business, and in the process, I had some pretty confronting realisations.

I realised that I was addicted to doing and achieving. My sense of self-worth and value felt heavily tied up on my success, how much money I was making and the external validation I received in my work. I was stuck in a pattern of pushing, forcing and controlling and I was ignoring my bodies cries for rest, play, adventure, fun and love. 

I realised I was often putting money, success and achievement ahead of my own wellbeing. I was operating in my masculine energy most of the time, and I wasn’t nurturing and giving enough energy to other areas of my life, especially my relationships.

I knew I needed to bring things back into balance, so at the start of this year, I took a giant step back. I changed my priorities.

Over the past few months, I have been nurturing myself back to strength, happiness and wellness. I have been investing energy in other areas of my life including travel, adventure, love, connection, friendships, relationships, creativity and play. I have been following what makes me happy, prioritising my pleasure and deeply honouring my body.

I have also been awakening and more deeply embodying my feminine energy. This has meant working less, pushing less, controlling less and doing less. It has meant surrendering, flowing, feeling and trusting. It has seen me focusing deeply on my relationship with myself and loving and valuing the woman that I am outside of my achievements. 

While I have been quiet on the work front these past few months, my personal life has been thriving. I can honestly say my heart and body feel full for the first time in years.

This journey has been so transformative for me, that I wanted to come onto the podcast and speak about it further. Today I am sharing about the power and importance of balancing our inner feminine and masculine energies and I am sharing some beautiful starting points that I hope will deeply support you.

 

In this episode I cover:

+ How I have started unravelling from my old patterns of masculine living, and why I have been coming deeper into my feminine.
+ Understanding your inner feminine and masculine and how each of these energies play out for you.
+ Why as women it is important for us to be nurturing, awakening and embodying our feminine.
+ How our masculine energy can serve and support us as women, and why we need to honour and appreciate it.
+ How to balance these two energies within yourself and get them working together.
+ 4 tips that will break through the fear and myth that you cannot be productive if you are in your feminine.
+ 10 powerful practices I have been using to more deeply embody my feminine.
+ Why as women we need to practise releasing control and surrender to the masculine.
+ Why exploring your own sensuality and sexuality is a key part of awakening your feminine.
+ The power of movement, dance, following your pleasure, listening to your joy and indulging in self-care.
+ Why we need to stop basing our worth on our achievements and start finding our value within.
+ How to deeply honour yourself, your feelings, your wants and your needs.
+ My new feminine morning and evening routines.
+ 2 new exciting ways you can work with me this month.
+ Plus an overview of the energy of May, and I share a big piece of channelled guidance that will help you create powerful change through the month of May.

2019: Energy Themes & Guidance For Creating A Magical Year (AR #87)

1 Comment

It has been several months since I brought you an Awaken Radio episode, and I must admit I am pretty excited to be back.  I hadn’t at all planned to take such an extended break, but I found myself at the end of 2018 feeling incredibly depleted after a massive year.

As I came into December, I tuned into myself and what I really needed and I realised I need to give myself a break from work. I ended up spending most of December resting, traveling, connecting with friends and family, hanging out in nature, playing, recharging and simply focusing on what felt good.

The transition between 2018 and 2019 was a big one energetically, and I can see why I needed to take so much time for myself in December. I felt some intense energy shifts and upgrades happening as we came into the New Year, and it was clear to me very early on that this year was going to be completely different to the past few.

So it has taken me a little while to find my feet in this new year, and get back into the swing of work. I am committed to maintaining greater balance in my life this year and ensuring I am prioritizing play, adventure, connection and fun alongside my work.

This has meant that things have moved a little slow so far this year, but that has not bothered me at all. This year I want to move forward with the energy of ease, and from a place of wholeness. I am done with being stressed, scattered and overworked.

So while it has taken me a while to get my first podcast episode out for this year, I am trusting that the timing of it is perfect for those of you who need to hear what I have to share here.

This episode is a big one. In today’s conversation, I share a little about what I have been moving through over the past few months, and the energy shifts that we as a collective have been going through. I talk about the key energy themes for this year, the core principles we will need to be focusing on and working through, and I offer guidance about how to create a magical 2019.

For those of you who have enjoyed my previous episodes where I have shared small snippets of channeled wisdom from one of my key spirit guides, you will be happy to know that there is not one, but two big downloads in this episode for you.

I am excited to be back on the podcast, and I hope you enjoy this first episode for 2019. I have so much to share with you this year, and I can’t wait to bring it all to you in due time.

 

In this episode I cover:

+ The shift in energy that we experienced as we moved out of 2018 and into 2019, and why it was a challenging adjustment for many of us.
+ Why 2019 will be a powerful year of manifestation.
+ Why January was a month of transition, and left many of us feeling tired, lacking clarity and needing a lot of self-care.
+ Why February is a month of grounding, and the importance of being in your body this month
+ The key energy themes and principles we will be working with this year.
+ Why surrender and being in our feminine, will be the key to manifestation.
+ My personal themes for 2019 and my key guiding words.
+ What it means to be magnetic, and how to call in your desires with ease.
+ Why we need to watch out for patterns of sabotage, avoidance, and distraction this year.
+ The power and importance of creating change through energy work, not just action.
+ How to create tangible change and call in what you truly desire (especially if you have been feeling stuck, or like you are not making progress).
+ Details of a new online group coaching circle I have created and how you can be a part of it.

COMPLETING OLD CYCLES, CHAPTERS & PATTERNS (#AR 86)

Leave a Comment

For much of October, I found myself feeling internal and introspective. While September felt like it was ripe with the energy of fresh, new beginnings, October has almost felt like the opposite.

Throughout October, I have found myself needing to press pause on the new chapters that I had been so eager to leap into, and instead become deeply present to what is here, right now.

I have been guided to slow down and look within to integrate big feelings, thoughts and realisations, and to complete the remaining inner work that this old chapter contains.

This time of endings and completions is sacred and powerful and there are significant learnings, insights and lessons to gain. We cannot rush through this process, or skip over it because it feels intense and confronting. 

Rather we must zoom in close and examine old ways of being that are no longer working. This is our time to release past patterns fully, to close old doors properly, to tie up loose ends completely, and to be thorough in embodying the growth that each and every experience has brought.

This year has been transformative, and we cannot rush it’s completion. We are at the final culmination point, and we cannot avoid what it is asking of us. The ending of any journey is often the most important part. This is where some of our greatest learnings can happen.

So I decided to come onto the podcast and dedicate a whole episode to the topic of completions. I want to share with you what I have been practising and what has been helping me close off old cycles, chapters and patterns. I want to help you wrap up this year consciously, intentionally and courageously, and so I hope this episode deeply supports you with that.

 

In this episode I cover;

  • Why from now until the end of this year is a time of intense completion.
  • The reason you may be feeling internal and introspective at the moment.
  • The sacred power of endings, and why they need to be deeply honoured.
  • Why you may be noticing patterns of avoidance arising.
  • Why life keeps bringing you the same experience over and over.
  • The power and importance of saying No.
  • How to uncover the deeper wound, emotion or belief that is keeping you stuck, so you can heal and release it’s root cause.
  • Why you are always communicating to life what you will accept, allow or tolerate.
  • A simple and practical exercise to help you shift out of old habits of behaviour.
  • Why you may be clinging to things from the past, even though they don’t serve you.
  • How to support yourself as you step into unknown territory.
  • Plus I share about a 21 Journaling Course I am hosting in November to help you with wrapping up this year in a clear and empowered way.

New Beginnings, Upleveling & Aligning With What You Want (AR #85)

Leave a Comment

Now that the dust has settled after Eclipse season, and we have completed a big process of releasing the old and clearing space for the new,  we are finally ready for the new chapters that await us.

All year we have been in a transformative and sacred process of clarifying what we truly want. We have found this clarity first through clearly seeing what we do not want, and we have spent much of this year doing the work to release it and let it go.

We have been making space for the new that we want to call in. These new desires have been incubating within us for months now, and we have been preparing to receive them. For many of us, they are desires that will help us upgrade and uplevel our lives and allow us to experience more abundance, joy, love, fulfilment and happiness.

We are being encouraged now, to really start to stretch our minds and allow ourselves to dream bigger. The new desires that await us have the potential to bring us experiences that we have never had before. We have the opportunity to step into new territory and embark on brand new chapters.

Between now and the end of the year, I feel we are in a process of both continuing to clarify what we truly want for this next chapter of our lives, and we are also laying foundations (both within us and around us) for these new dreams to stand on.

A big part of this upleveling, is doing the inner work to upgrade your mindset, your energy, your self-talk and your beliefs so that you can receive in bigger ways, and expand into new possibilities. This is our preparation work right now.

So I felt inspired to jump on the podcast today and share a little more with you about this. I felt to offer some guidance and tools around how to move through this uplevel process, do the inner work to align with what you want, and prepare for the magical new beginnings that are ready to flow into your life.

 

In this episode I cover;

  • Why it is time to dream up new possibilities, ask for more and think in bigger ways.
  • How to use all of your experiences from this year, to get clear what you want next.
  • Why the people who are triggering you right now are helping you clarify your desires.
  • How to step into the ‘next level’ version of yourself.
  • Why all of the changes you are craving must begin within.
  • What is means to align with what you want, and how to practise this.
  • The power of preparation and becoming energetically ready to receive your desires.
  • The importance of laying strong foundations to support your new dreams.
  • Why even taking one small step each day, can create radical change in your life.
