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.

10 Ways to Open and Receive More of What You Want

10 Ways to Open and Receive More of What You Want

As we move into the holiday season and a time of gift giving, it’s also the ideal time to explore what it means to receive and how to do this with more intentionality.

With that in mind, I’m going to dive deeply into the concept of receiving and how- especially for those of us (givers) for whom that is difficult- we can allow ourselves to experience even more of it!

If you’re wondering why this is important, let me clarify.

In truth, receiving IS the entire game. What I mean is that God/the universe/universal mind/conscious awareness- or however you think about higher self/spirit is ALWAYS trying to give us more love, goodness, support and help.

An Invitation from the Darkness

Have you noticed that certain times of year evoke different feelings or orientations?

What does December ask of you?

For me, it’s about LIGHT, about opening to it and receiving it.

How do you define light?

Perhaps you think about it as: inspiration, healing, divinity, truth, love- or something else. 

Whatever your definition of light, the dark days of December seem to call for a kindling of that spark, a nourishing of our inner light.

How about A practice to help you connect more deeply to that light?
