Last Feminine Power Time we talked about the "meta" and "collective" - what the themes, energy and patterns are in the larger field as we go into 2024. This gives us wisdom for how to move through this year.

Today, we turn to the "personal" - what are the themes, awarenesses, perspectives and ways of looking at our lives and our choices within them. So we can walk through 2024 centered, sustained, focused on what matters, using this catalytic time for our good and the good of all. Without burning out, running back to normal or missing the possibility. 

Tune in for this year’s Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead, 2024, Part Two. Find & Keep Your Shine in the Stretch.

I'll share with you a series of themed wisdom and inquiries + practices that I'm applying myself and using with all the leaders and communities I work with. 

I will also take you through some embodied integration of the wisdom, so it really lands in your body, being and brain.

Here are some of the Wisdom Pearls you can put in your pocket to guide your choices now and in the months to come - use these proactively + also in the moments when you get the internal wobbles, or the external world or circumstances threaten to pull you into the swirl. 

Themes

• FIND THE FEMININE. When you get the wobbles, slow down to find the feminine flow - ask, What do you need to RECEIVE?
• FIND MY CENTER. Get deeply rooted into the truth of who you are. From this centered place, then you make choices, take actions or just do the next step.
• FIND MY PART.  Know what is no longer yours to do, and release or shapeshift. Embrace what your part is and focus there, without apology or guilt.
• FIND CONNECTION. Know the difference between growth pains and struggle, and suffering that creates distress. 

See you there!

Christine

Wisdom Inquiries

1. What do i need, desire and require this year?
2. What is my part going forward - professionally in my career? Personally in my family/community?
3. What is NOT my part?

000002EA 000002EB 00004003 00004002 0016AAC1 0016AAC1 00007E86 00007E85 00151A3E 00151A3E

Taking leaps. Small ones. Big ones. In between ones. Whether we are leaving a job or changing careers... or moving our home... or starting or ending a marriage or relationship... or choosing to make a change, break a pattern or complete something without knowing exactly what's on the other side...

Taking leaps is like an olympic sport most of us didn't get training for. So we figure it out as we go. If we are fortunate, we find guides along the way who have leapt before us.

People who can give us some wisdom and practical steps for how to take leaps with grace. People who can support us to tap into our gumption to fuel the courage and clarity we need to leap.

I've lept many times into the unknown, followed the unconventional path, made choices for freedom over security, trusting that it would all work out in the end. So far I am still standing, still smiling and while I have some stretch marks from the stress that leaps almost always bring, the rewards in my heart and soul bank far outweigh the stretch marks.

Taking leaps is how people who live fully and freely live. We don't wait for all things to be in place or feel comfortable. But we also aren't 'dummy pants' and leap with no net. And the net isn't always what you think it is.

Wisdom Byte: If you never step into the unknown you just keep repeating the same reality.

I sat down to create this session of Feminine Power Time #191: Taking Leaps, Doing Beginnings, Endings, and Cycles with Grace & Gumption, on the 6th evening of sleeping in my new house, in a new city on the other side of America. A marker of 9-month cycle of making signficiant and intentional leaps in many areas of my life - from career to relationship to health to home to financial. Whew! Exhale.

So many of the people I advise and coach, and the women in the leadership councils and wisdom schools I founded, are also moving through big cycles - some they welcomed with opened arms, others they've resisted for some time. 

I imagine you might also be going through a cycle with endings and beginnings too, whether you are conscious to it or not. 

So i poured some tea, put on my downshifting white jammies, sat at my desk for the first time in 9 months and created this for you - to share what I've learned and noticed about cycles, about going through this current transition and what I'm seeing in other conscious humans currently. 

I've got some inquires, stories and elevated perspectives to share that I hope will give you some grace and gumption in whatever leap you are making or is calling you. 

I'll end us with 4 inquiries to elevate you and/or do with a friend. 

See you there!
Christine

I've been talking with so many people who have been feeling the affects of the intensity of the state of the world, the intense weather, their own intense changing lives... and there is a lot of anxiety bubbling up that leads to doubt, confusion, burnout, overwhelm. So I thought we needed to have a honest heart to heart about:

Anxiety & Doubt: How to Release and Reduce the Confusion & Swirl Within You

* How do you know if anxiety and doubt is driving you? Some of you know because you can feel it in your body. But others of you are masking over it. Stuffing your anxiety and doubt with food, drink, tv, shopping, work? Neither way is good for us. 

* What is causing the anxiety and doubt at amplified levels that you might not know are affecting you? It is normal to have fear. Normal to feel worry or anxiety at times. But the levels we are dealing with right now, adding to the overwhelm, are being caused in large part by events, technology and other people. 

* What is underneath the anxiety that you may be having trouble accessing, so it keeps you in overwhelm, worry, doubt, confusion? I'll share a story of mine that reflects the deep grief many women feel at a heart level for what is happening to the planet, to the children, to the people that they don't know how to be with or release.

* How do you release this anxiety and doubt? So you can access clarity and calm and wisdom? I'll share some simple but mighty practices you can use in your daily life to release the anxiety and breakthrough to clarity and calm. I use these myself. 

I've been feeling so passionate about sharing this story with you and some of the practices I use myself. 

We live in intense times. If you are not practicing actively protecting your energy field, releasing the deeper grief or fear, it's like not taking a shower for weeks. Eventually your mind and subconscious will stink and your will be an emotional or physical mess. This is yogic wisdom for our modern world. 

My role is to continue to help us be awake to what is happening around and within us. And to share the practices that can keep us centered, clear, in our hearts and higher intelligence to be agents for change, love, elevation and harmony in this world. In sustainable ways.

I hope this episode of Feminine Power Time - Ep #102: Anxiety & Doubt: How to Release and Reduce the Confusion & Swirl Within You - supports you wherever this finds you today. 

with great heart,

Christine

Online Programs and In Person Events and
Retreats Coming UP 

What is currently stretching you? Catalyzing or challenging you? Calling you to release, shed, complete so that you can step into what is next? In your career, relationships, community, family, health or wealth? And could you use a boost of courage and clarity to make choices, release the old and step forward?

Good! Me too! Which is why I created this Feminine Power Time for you. Its is a Courage and Clarity boost that will strengthen your CLARITY about:

• What you are being guided to release and let go so you can make space for the new 
• What roles & responsibilities no longer serve you, in your work or relationships, so you can consciously complete them
• What the next steps are in the short term so you can stop short circuiting yourself or stressing yourself out about not knowing the how.
• How to strengthen your trust in the Universe and your self trust to make wise choices and courageous leaps. 

COURAGE SO YOU CAN:

• Take leaps into what's calling you in your work, relationships and expression, now
• Have the inner self confidence to step forward even if you can't see ahead or don't know the path
• Make wise choices grounded in both reality and possibility 

I've been doing these Feminine Wisdom for Intense and Changing Time episodes for a while, and based on the survey feedback I received so far, I'm going to make them part of the regular rotation.

In between the 4 major Power Pause times - Solstices and Equinoxes - there are 4 minor 'super power days' when the earth and cosmos make an energetic shift.

In the Feminine Wisdom Way we use the minor shifts to add 'love' and wisdom to whatever we are growing and tending in our lives - be that our work, relationships, health, wealth or presence.

Here at Feminine Power Time, I'll bring a simpler version to you, focused on what I'm guided to share, and what wisdom inquiries are connected to that specific time. 

This Courage and Clarity Boost was taped on the super power of day of Lammas, August 1st - but you can listen any time and get the benefit. Lammas is a day for being at choice to what you are going to harvest this year and what will also affect your year next year. It's a time we use the feminine super power of Catalyze to consciously choose what roles, responsibilities and ways of expressing we want to SHED so we can be free to express who we desire to be now, and to have the space to grow in what our soul is calling for. 

Enjoy the Clarity and Courage Boost! I'm shedding right along with you too!
