Facing Uncertainty like a Champ

SOOO glad that last email was helpful to you. 🙏🏼

I’m gonna keep going!

This week, let’s focus on freedom from uncertainty or maybe a better phrase is managing uncertainty.

I mean, let’s be honest. This is a MAJOR challenge for all of us.

When we face uncertainty, it can often cause doubt, fear, insecurity, unworthiness… and the list goes on.

And yet, life is change. Life is constant change. We see it everywhere. Leaves sprout in the spring, green in the summer, yellow in the autumn, turn brown and fall off in the winter.

We live amidst cyclical change that occurs naturally and it impacts us as well. Yet change can also feel difficult to manage. Especially when it’s unexpected or unwarranted.

So here are a few tips to help you navigate this landscape.

How to Manage Your Fear: 4 Exercises to Help

I’m on a roll right now, thinking about freedom, and thought that maybe for the rest of this month we could explore ways to feel more free.

The first one that came up for me (how about you?) is FEAR.

If you’re familiar with the enneagram, you’ll know that at point 6 (which is me 😊), this is our basic challenge.

In truth, it’s all of our basic challenge, maybe the flavor of it differs, yes? Because we ALL experience fear. So, the question then is, what do we do when it arises?

How to Step Into Being the Light More Easily

We’ve spent all of June basking in the light – the light of the solstice, the light within us, the light that is our true inheritance. 🌅

One of the questions I often get asked related to this, is how can I experience more of that light within me?

In previous weeks, we explored the idea of having blocks to the awareness of love’s presence. We also examined what some of those particular blocks might be, depending on our personalities. (Enneagram)

As we continue to remove these, the next step is experiencing the light in ourselves.

How to Move From Lack to Abundance

It’s true, we ALL suffer from feeling like there’s something missing, or we aren’t good enough, or that we’re lacking in some way…

Certainly, the human part of us can fall into this kind of thinking. Especially when we feel anxious or fearful.

I think it’s helpful to recognize that we encounter feelings of lack or not enough-ness when we either feel separate from the one-ness and disconnected from the universe, OR we identify and believe we are our self image / personality which comes with, according to Robert Holden’s new book on the Enneagram, a core sense of deficiency.

3 Ways to Connect More Fully with Mother Earth

Having fun connecting with the Divine Feminine? Doesn’t it feel amazing?

Here’s another way to connect to that essence.

It’s our last mothering tool.

Can you guess what it is?

Yes, it’s connecting to the great goddess on which we live and get ALL of our physical sustenance and nourishment, Mother Earth.

During the Covid lockdown, I did a wonderful initiation into seeing the earth as Tara- Tara Gaia. And yet, there are countless first nations who have and continue to honor the earth as our sacred mother.

How to Heal Using the Divine Feminine

How to Heal Using the Divine Feminine

How has your journey of re-parenting been going?

Have you been able to heal some of that woundedness?

Did you get a glimpse or feel into the excitement of your inner magic?!?

If you’re ready for an even deeper step, this is just for you.

Today we’re exploring how to work with the Divine Mother and bringing that woundedness to the Mother of all mothers, to the essence of the Goddess that dwells within.

How to Heal Your Wounded Child & Access Your Magic

How to Heal Your Wounded Child & Access Your Magic

I thought for the the next sequence of blogs, we’d explore this idea of mothering, being mothered, and re-parenting ourselves. It feels timely and necessary. Maybe it’s because I also work as a psychotherapist that this topic is much on my mind…

So today we’ll explore the idea of re-parenting our wounded inner child.

Are you familiar with that expression? The wounded child?

From Caroline Myss’ work, we know that we all have a child archetype in our constellation. In part, because each of us experienced a childhood. And, at some point, (unfortunately) we got a negative message(s) about ourselves.

How to Keep Deepening Into Your Self-Transformation

How to Keep Deepening Into Your Self-Transformation

I bet you can see, even touch, a floor right now and perhaps a ceiling overhead- wherever you’re reading these words, yes?

Most structures have both , but did you know that this (floors & ceilings) is also an idea stock traders talk about?

It’s part of a metrics they use to evaluate where a stock may move. As a company’s stock drops in price, it can “hit a floor.” This might indicate a time to buy. Stocks can also “hit ceilings” which could indicate a time to sell. Obviously, this is a basic definition, but recently I took this way of thinking about floors and ceilings and applied it to the process of our inner work.

What do I mean?

How To Be a Mystic

How To Be a Mystic

I’m pretty hard wired to rush, to move quickly, and make decisions fast.

My mind thinks quickly and my body’s eager to follow along. BUT I don’t want to keep working at that pace! It doesn’t feel good, nor does it help me stay in the flow.

I’m finding that when I stop and center myself and then re-focus, I’m more able to have clarity and see differently.

How about you?

It’s so easy to get caught up in life, in a trajectory of movement, propelling us forward as if life were a race to complete, a journey to a finish line that we’re all hurrying towards.

But what if it wasn’t?

“Patience is also a form of action” Auguste Rodi

I read this quote recently and understood it in a way I never have before. Why, you might wonder… well, I had a realization not long ago about an ingrained thought pattern that’s been adversely affecting my creative process!

Intrigued?

Call it conditioning from family, from society, from culture… the origin of the thought pattern doesn’t much matter but a few months ago, I noticed a kind of frenzied energy that existed within my being. This inner voice was hurrying me to finish my task, to rush and get it done. It wasn’t just a voice, actually. It was a physical sensation of anxiety buzzing inside of my body, preventing me from feeling or being calm and present.
