Fear & Struggle & Resistance, Oh My!
I’ve just returned from the incredible Live Your Truth 2024 retreat held in the gorgeous beyond belief home of Christine and absolutely full of women I love so much! I feel that Ginny and I will do a podcast episode about this for Awaken Your Truth, so I won’t share too much, except for one specific opening exercise. I realize that what I am about to say will probably prevent anyone new from ever wanting to attend a retreat, haha, but here goes.
We were sitting in a circle and Ginny asked everyone to fill in the blank. “I am afraid for everyone to know that …”. We were going to go around the circle and say our fears out loud! Immediately we could feel the energy in the room shift to panic.
Are You Creating Your Own Resistance?
The other morning I was completing a Yoga Glo class and I had the awareness that I was lost in thoughts about how annoying it is that traveling from Alaska often involves flying a red eye. My next thought was, “Wow, you are really in resistance!”
A moment later the Yoga Glo instructor cheerfully announced, “Create your own resistance!” and I couldn’t help but laugh at the coincidence, which then led to this topic inspiration.
Let me ask you, are you creating your own resistance?
And now I will answer for you. If you feel resistance, then, yes, you are.
Forcing, Shoulding & Creating in Joy
I was really feeling the desire to connect with you, to record a podcast and do a little blog post/newsletter writing. Yesterday on my morning walk I was absolutely overflowing with inspiration, but I was out in the woods, and I knew if the ideas were keepers they would come back. I didn’t have much creating space until today, so my plan was to take action. However, every time I sat down at the computer, I was empty. I noticed my mind searching for ideas.
EBTIECHI: A Tool for Anxious Thoughts
Happy Almost Solstice!
Are you enjoying the glorious transition into a new season? Do you have any favorite fall activities? I am loving being in the golden woods, picking berries, creating with the berries, and reading by the wood stove.
This blog post accompanies the podcast which tells the back story of EBTIECHI (Even Better Than I Ever Could Have Imagined), a tool I have enjoyed for years to release fears and anxious future thoughts.
To really enact the power of EBTIECHI, I invite you to explore a few techniques.
Abundance: Giving IS Receiving
Oh, I had so much fun activating the energy of abundance on my most recent podcast episode. Beautiful creator, there is so much abundance here and Now. Can you tune into all your “more than enoughs” and truly bask in this abundant universe?
Journal prompts, for you, my love:
An Amazing Listener Question!
Hello gorgeous!
Today I’m sharing (with generous permission) a listener question that I wish I would have been brave enough to ask when I was really frustrated, uncomfortable, afraid and confused. I realize there are numerous resources available to guide emotional acceptance/release and awakening, so I am tickled pink that I was asked to share my perspective. This blog post accompanies the podcast episode “I WANT to feel my North Star Energy!”
Aligning and Creating with Your North Star Energy
The other night I saw the Alaskan perspective of the North Star for the first time in three months as it was finally dark enough! It feels like such a treat to have our stars back. While gazing at the heavens and feeling into the idea of North Star Energy, I felt the call to record a follow up episode to last week’s podcast, with more practical, down to earth inspirations for how to align and create with your energy.
What is True?
Hello dear friend!
I would love to start this blog post with an opportunity for you to pause, connect to your physical senses in this Now, and ask yourself, “What is true?” and if you would like to get particular, “What is true about creating radiant health?”
Now, how do you know that is true?
Did someone tell you? Did you read it somewhere? Did you hear it on a podcast? Is it what you have experienced in your own physical reality? Or do you feel it as a crystal clear Truth resonating through all the cells in your body?
Creating Your Story for Radiant Aging
When you see the word “aging”, what images, thoughts and stories come to mind? Explore your automatic mind responses for a moment. Is that what you desire to create as your time on the physical planet expands? If so, amazing. If not, let’s explore a new reality together.
While this blog post accompanies the correlating podcast episode, feel free to explore the following journal questions before listening, after listening, or never at all! At the end of the questions I share what I received from my Inner Being, if you are curious. Cherry pick what resonates and ignore what doesn’t! And, as always, check in with your Inner Being/Higher Self/Source to receive your own unique guidance.
Awareness & Choice in Beliefs
I hope you are having a gorgeous summer, if that is your current season. I’m reaching out from the beautiful Baja Peninsula, currently enjoying the sounds and sights of the waves lapping the shore, feeling the absolute magnificence of this world. This blog post is intended as a companion to my most recent podcast episode, “Awareness & Choice in Beliefs.”
