Each of our hearts has a spectrum of emotion that ranges from SAD to MAD that is our super power, if we know how to yield it and be with in correctly. But most people have not gotten training on how to use these energies in ways that fuel the change we desire vs. destroy the very thing we care so deeply about. 

There are days when my heart can feel so heavy with sadness at the state of this world and what humans do to each other. If I don't allow myself to feel this and then move through it, it can drag me down like a grief pool of stagnant water. There are other days when my heart ignites like a fire storm, angry and mad sparking frustration and sometimes when it gets too big, it distorts into righteousness.

So when you are SAD or MAD at the state of the world, or things happening in it, or what specific people are doing ... how do you use those emotions powerfully in ways that elevate the situation and honor your feelings vs. expressing those feelings in distorted ways (or not at all) harming yourself and others?  

What do we do with this anger and grief? And how do we use it? 

Join me This Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and wisdom teacher, where we are going to dive deep into:

• Reveal and feel where you fall on the emotional power spectrum of SAD and MAD - where are you comfortable, how do you use this powerfully and how can you distort?
• The power of Sadness - water - and Anger - fire - how to not get stuck in or overwhelmed by either & how to use both to fuel your passions, work and part on the planet.
• How to know when you are tapping into your personal feelings and when you are tapping into the collective grief and rage
• 3 simple but mighty practices for "transmuting" the sadness and anger that we just need in order to stay above the fray in these intense times

New beginnings are such a gift - from a new baby, to a new relationship or friendship, a new job, new home, new project or new phase of life. But most of us miss the gift because instead of savoring the process, creating the space needed to allow things to unfold and emerge... we rush in, put pressure on ourselves to hit the ground running and don't take the space needed. And the foundation of the new thing is not strong enough to endure. 

Instead of savoring the experience we stress out during it.

In relationship, we rush in to intimacy too fast and give our bodies and hearts away before the relationship foundation is strong enough. We so desire to be safe, loved and to know it 'will work out' we miss the dance of growing intimacy. 

In jobs, we start new ones right away instead of giving ourselves the space between to decompress and regenerate. So we leave one job exhausted and start the next one depleted, because the system 'needs us"

In giving birth, we go back to work weeks or a few months later, because we live in a system that doesn't honor human life force, the mother or the need to be nurtured. 

In new projects, new homes, and any new beginning, we don't give ourselves the space to settle in and let things unfold and emerge, to savor the experience. We stress the whole way through to get it done, missing the beauty.

In finishing school or finishing a project we complete one milestone and think we are supposed to have it all figured out to start the next thing now. 

This is systemic. Inside the systems and inside of ourselves. Causing huge amounts of stress, and pressure by truncating the space needed for endings and beginnings ... such precious sacred time.

One of the great gifts I receive is talking to lots of wise, conscious women and men around the world. And through those conversations I start to see patterns emerge - for what people are experiencing during these intense and changing times. When you see the patterns happening OUT there, you start to understand whats happening INSIDE you so much more.

And instead of feeling like you are alone or crazy you start to see that you are right on track. You elevate out of the swirl or the emotion of it. And you gain wisdom about what is REALLY happening through you, not to you. 

Every so often I feel inspired to do these episodes of Feminine Power Time to share with you what I see happening 'out there' so you can use that wisdom to apply to what is happening in your life, now. 

 Join me Christine Arylo, for this feminine power podcast, where we will explore:

• Is what you are giving your life force to really worth it?
• Where are you pouring too much of your life force into? 
• What catalyst is happening through you?
• How is your soul knocking on your door to get you to elevate, step forth and step up? 
• Do you have the strong woman / lone wolf syndrome blocking you from the support you need? 
• And we will end with a sweet meditation for your heart

Other Feminine Power Time Episodes to tune into to deepen in some of this include "The Lie About Time"  "Are You Supported" "Courageous Feminine Leadership"

To join me for the mid year Power Pause retreat - a Feminine Wisdom Weekend, July 27-29th at Kripalu, learn more here.

Courage - where does it come from? How do you cultivate it so that you have the inner strength and clarity to meet the challenges and catalysts in your life? So you can expand vs contract? So you make grounded choices that are also guided by divine grace?

Courage in the feminine is not false bravado, it's not without fear, and it does not come from the mind. Courage comes from the heart, it requires us to feel, and it also requires us to step forth out of our comfort zones.

When we cultivate it consciously as part of our daily practices, we gain the 'super power' to say NO to what limits us, say YES to what supports and expands us, even if it scares us and is different than what everyone else is doing or what conventional wisdom says.

Tune into this Feminine Power Time - Courageous Leadership - with Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and wisdom teacher, for a soul provoking, heart invoking, and practical revealing and teaching on Courage through the feminine lense, including:

• What courage is, how courage has been distorted blocking our access to it, and the truth about where courage stems from (so you can access it)
• 3 sources of courage that you can tap into to strengthen your ability to listen, trust and act - even when it pulls you out of your comfort zone 
• Simple but mighty daily practices for cultivating courage - so you have the courage when you need it
• Make it personal and practical - Christine will help you illuminate where you are being stretched and called forth and then use the teachings to support you to expand vs contract 

If you are going through a transition, standing at a threshold, being called forth to change, expand and open ... tune into this Feminine Power Time. And stay til the end when Christine shares a special passage from mystic John O'Donohue, Thresholds.

"Follow your heart." It sounds simple, even trite, but it's anything but. This wisdom byte is DIRECTION on how we navigate these intense and changing times. If you are facing a change, or feeling like you need to make a change or knowing that a change is coming, you can either step in with courage and compassion and grace or you can suffer, spin, get stuck and miss out on the expanded possibility you are being called into, but you just can't see yet.

Stepping in the unknown... deciphering the messages of your heart... conjuring up courage and clarity... having deep trust... these are not skills we where taught in school or on the job - although we should be. As leaders in our lives and work and families, we have to know how to tune into the heart - not the mind - where the answers to the how, when, where lie. 

In this Feminine Power Time, the last recorded in her home in Valley the Moon (I'm in a big change) Christine Arylo, women's leadership advisor and wisdom teacher invites you to bring the change you are facing or feeling into this heart provoking, illuminating conversation to:

• Learn the wisdom behind these simple words FOLLOW YOUR HEART and how they apply to leading your life
• Decipher the messages of your heart and the guidance for how to create the path ahead
• Gain courage and clarity on how to step into the unknown
• Why FEELING and EMOTIONS are the gateway to your freedom
• And of course, a meditation and several inquiries to make this personal to your journey now ...

In this session, Christine will help you slow down and tap into what your heart is guiding you to shift, change and step into, now, and the path ahead for allowing it to happen with grace and ease.

To join Christine at a retreat this year

Spring Equinox at Esalen in California - go here.

Summer Solstice-ish on the East Coast at Kripalu - go here. 

In our traditional mainstream culture, we are told we have to build our careers, work hard, and climb to the top - which is why we all feel so overwhelmed and over it, and why we never seem to 'get there.' We pressure ourselves to be there now. Or we lack the courage to go for what our heart's begging us to do. At this time on the planet, we are being called to DO THIS DIFFERENTLY- to take our power back from outdated ways of thinking about work and career which limit our freedom and expression. And be the powerful, wise presence we came here to be, self expressed, doing good in the world and also being SUPPORTED as we grow, take risks, put ourselves out there, and make shift happen.

I invited my good friend Jenny Blake, author of the book Pivot, and another woman who like me has chosen to continually evolve herself and her work in the world in ways that create more freedom, meaning, expression and goodness in the world. We've both cut ourselves free from the golden handcuffs, learned lessons about being entrepreneurs that business school didn't prepare us for, but that the WISDOM sought from other sources did. 

Since I am in the midst of a big PIVOT myself in my sacred work (more on this SHIFT in the podcast), I invited Jenny to join us this week so we can pull back the veil and get real and wise about:

• What an empowered path for creating work you love and that aligns with you heart and soul looks like - it's not the vertical ladder to success, we can tell you that. 
• The Trap of Having a "CAREER" vs. the POWER of Living & Giving Your Sacred Work - you'll love this small tweak with big liberation pow wow 
• How to be WISE about how you "DO" your transitions and take risks in your work/career/business so that you are supported financially and emotionally 
• Are you a Sacred Rebel or a High Net Impact Being? And if yes, what you have to do differently in how you approach your work and career.  

Stepping out of the rat race, linear race to the top, "safe" structure is a courageous act ... Redefining yourself, evolving your work, making choices outside of conventional wisdom also DARING. But what other way is there to live if we truly desire to be free vs be trapped in realities that suck our life force out of us?

Join us, tune in. I can't wait to share my PIVOT and invoke the Sacred Rebel, who dares to make shift happen, in her own world and then in the world at large.

P.S. Join me for the Spring Equinox Retreat in March at Esalen: Grace Under Pressure: Feminine Wisdom for Thriving in Intense Times. Click here to get the details. 

At the root of almost every struggle we face is a lack of self love most people are just totally unaware of this.  Unfulfilling and toxic relationships, stuck or overbearing careers, money and health challenges, chronic overwhelm, worry and stress - signs of a weak self love.

Our mainstream culture does not teach us self-love, instead it focuses on the surface solutions - find a soulmate, get a new job, lose 10lbs, stop overspending, find balance, etc. These may provide a short term respite, but the change never sticks because we are not getting to the root ... a weak love of self. 

And if we don't know what self love really or how to cultivate it, how can we teach our children and guide others? We can't.  

In honor of the international day of Self Love, Feb 13th, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and founder of The Path of Self Love School invites you in this feminine power time to:

• Learn what self love really is and why self esteem is not enough 
• The 10 kinds of self love and how to identify where you are weak and where you are strong in your inner foundation 
• The signs of a weak self love that lead to self sacrifice, self sabotage, and self criticism  
• Why most people don't know that a lack of self love is at the root of the suffering and why we don't take the self loving act
• Embrace your feminine power to change this world just by choosing to become stronger at loving you 

The Path of Self Love School is an global organization serving women and children around the world through their classes, symposiums, programs and teacher trainings. Find out more at www.PathofSelfLove.org 

Take the Self Love Quiz at www.SelfLoveQuiz.com to see where you are weak and strong in your self love foundation. 

This Wisdom Inquiry: What is the Support I Need this Year? can alone determine if you will feel more stressed and stretched this year OR more supported and sustained. Think of it like putting your order into the Universe, so that you can receive what you need to support you as you do your work, lead your teams and families, take care of all that needs tending, and achieve your dreams... but this year, you FEEL supported physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially. 

This month at Feminine Power Time, I'm sharing each week with you an inquiry that has the super power to keep you out of overwhelm and burnout. But you have to PAUSE to consider it, and use it as a portal into expanded levels of possibility ... even if it seems impossible, you DESERVE to be supported this year, on all levels. 

But how do you make sure you get the support you need? 

Tune into this Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor, where you'll get insight on:

• Why we push away the very support we crave and need
• Why asking for support can feel needy and weak, and how to receive support from your feminine power
• What support you need to achieve what you desire and create the reality you want in work, relationships, and your health and wealth
• How to use the Wisdom Tool of "The Wings of Support" to clarify the support you need 
• How to work with the Universe to receive the support, even if it comes in forms different than you thought

To get a visual of the wings of support go to Christine Arylo's blog at http://christinearylo.com/2018/01/power-pause-receive-support/

There are SO many ways that you can spend your energy, time, money and resources this coming year - many that will distract you, fragment your energy, or keep you so busy in the day to day grind you never get the space to do what truly matters. Instead of having the space to focus on the projects & people and your own personal wellbeing that mean alot to you this year, you end up giving your time and energy to what is most urgent, demanding, productive or profitable. We are programmed to self sabotage and self sacrifice. 

Which is why wise women who lead the feminine way take a POWER PAUSE at the start of the new year, to look ahead, tap into their Inner Wisdom, feel into their heart and get really clear on WHAT MATTERS MOST this coming year... in their work, relationships and personal health. 

And which is why, I Christine Arylo, am inviting you into this Feminine Power Time where I will:

• Share how you can use your Feminine Super Power of Creating Space to create the time to do what really matters to you, even in the midst of many responsibilities and a full schedule. 
  
  
• Lead you through a 3-step inner wisdom journey to connect into what truly matters most to you in the 3 areas of our lives that when tended to elevate you out of overwhelm... so you have space to nourish your projects, relationships and body.
   
• Help you claim and name what is matters most to you in your work, your relationships and your physical wellbeing, so you can get the support and create the space to focus on these in 2018 - no matter how much there is to do!

To learn more about visioning, planning and focusing your year the feminine way, tune into the Salon on A Different Way to Dream (the previous podcast). Or receive the video of the session at www.femininewisdomsession.com

To learn more about living, leading and succeeding the feminine way, Feminine Super Power Year, go to www.femininesuperpoweryear.com

There is a misunderstanding in our culture about visioning, dreaming and goals setting that stems from the go,go, go,work hard, stay busy, mindset we've been trained to operate from in the distorted versions of masculine and feminine power in our mainstream systems.

Even big misunderstandings about manifesting, the law of attraction, and vision boards of baseline spiritual teaching that lead to self criticism & stress later in the year.

The good news is this....There is another way, a sacred, super-powered way to dream, that gives you access to deeper levels of Wisdom that can fuel  & focus what you desire to create for yourself, your work, your family and this world in 2018.

Which is why I, Christine Arylo, held this special feminine wisdom session and salon, A Different Way to Dream. Originally livestreamed via video, here for you now, where we will dive into:

• Why using traditional goal-setting, resolution-making, manifesting techniques, and vision boarding can create  more stress,  pressure and self-criticism in 2018 (you don't want to start your year like this).  

• The Wisdom Way of using the entire month of January to set the path and foundation for 2018 , so  you can create a reality in which you are both achieving what you truly desire + receiving what you need.  

• How to set yourself up to stay OUT OF OVERWHELM in 2018 and stay FOCUSED on what matters most to you, so you can  grow your work /career/business, nurture your relationships, take care of what and who you love, with sacrificing yourself. 

• How to increase your access to 'Feminine Wisdom' and keep it strong all year, so you feel Productive & Successful, and also Calm, Centered & Spacious throughout 2018...even in times of intensity.

Stay out of the fray. Step into feminine wisdom to illuminate how you can best navigate the path ahead for 2018.

As we cross the threshold into a new year - after a very intense 2017, I'm inviting you to take a PAUSE to feel into what is true, what is coming, what is needed to navigate the waters ahead, and how and who you want to be this coming year.

In the wisdom traditions, Jan is the dreaming month - a time for listening to our hearts and souls, to divine guidance and to what is needed in the world, with our beloveds and for ourselves. We slow down to connect inward so the realities we create liberate us to be and give our fullest selves, instead of become burdens, jail cells or more things to do. 

In times like this focus and fluidity is key.

Accessing our inner WISDOM - calling to become stronger.

Stepping out of the fray to stay centered in our selves and our truth is essential.

So using the power of the first full moon of 2018 - known as a Wolf Moon - in this Feminine Power Time, we'll shine a flashlight ahead to:

• illuminate a handful of potent wisdom bytes about what to expect and how to approach 2018
• share how NOT to make choices for the year to come - if you want to avoid burnout and overwhelm AND have the energy to have the impact you desire.
• give you a set of wisdom based inquiries that will help you access the deeper truths within you, so your choices are guided by wisdom, not fear or old patterning
• Illuminate the truths about why we all feel such intensity and what the yogis have said about how to meet these times with grace and vitality 

Join Christine Arylo for the feminine wisdom session "A Different Way to Dream: Vision, Plan & focus YOUR YEAR,The Feminine Way" - RSVP for free at www.femininewisdomsession.com

How you complete the year directly impacts how you feel and start the coming year. So how do you want to FEEL when you wake up in the new year? So that you can start the new year ready, at a full tank, clear and strong on the inside? 

This is a question I ask every year as the holiday swirl starts so that I make sure I don't get caught up in the over consuming, over eating, over spending, over scheduling, over shopping...a set up for starting the new year depleted and already feeling behind. 

I developed this Feminine Super Power Practice, which I use every year and have taught women around the world, to give us 'super power' to make choices over the holidays that support and sustain us vs drain us... so that come the start of the new year we are recharged and ready for what is to come. 

I call it the Holiday Harmonizer. It's simple yet mighty. I'll teach you the practice, lead you through it, and then send you off with a simple way to practice it every day until Jan 2nd. 

It will help you say no to the invitations and to do's that don't really matter. Say no to OVER consuming and connecting. And say YES to those things that really do replenish you. 

Tune into this Feminine Power Time:

• Get clear about how you desire to FEEL come the new year so you can make your choices now in a way that aligns 
• Learn the Holiday Harmonizing Practice - and how it works to keep you clear and strong physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
• Gain the super power to say no to things you don't want to do, and find new ways to connect with those you love without giving yourself away 
• Get a daily practice you can do in less than 3 minutes each morning to connect within, keeping you out of the holiday swirl or other people's holiday swirl 

This Super Power Practice is part of the Feminine Super Power Year training, where women come to live, lead and succeed the feminine way in practical and powerful ways in how they approach their work, health, wealth, home and relationships. 

Join Christine for the annual Year End Power Pause & Relfection Ritual -  RSVP at www.FemininePowerRitual.com (men and women invited)

SPACIOUSNESS... we all desire it. But we have not been taught how to cultivate it. We've been told to "find time," "Make time for self care", "meditate and be mindful" ... but time can't be found, self care is a way of life not something to add to your to do list, and WHY are we meditating and being so mindful? 

Feeling Spacious on the inside is not just some nice self care strategy... cultivating spaciousness is fundamental part of our ability to be powerful, courageous leaders... essential for accessing our inner wisdom to make wise choices... foundational to our health, emotionally and physically... and super power for staying young, vital and radiant. 

Cultivating spaciousness is a big part of what we teach and practice at our feminine wisdom school and in "Feminine Super Power Year" so it becomes a way of life. 

In this Feminine Power Time, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and wisdom teacher, shares:

• Why focusing on FEELING spacious on the inside empowers you in your wellness and leadership in ways that self-care and stress management don't    
• The SPACIOUSNESS STAR ... a model that includes the 5 points that we need to put in place in order to feel spacious on the inside 
• The spiritual and physical points that need to be strong and present in your life, or else it's almost impossible to cultivate spaciousness
• Two words that you can embrace to release the relentless pressure to make more, be more and have more that makes you feel like you aren't enough or don't have enough time. 

Give yourself the gift of feeling SPACIOUS by choosing to cultivate it and claim it... timeless feminine wisdom put to use in your day to day life.

When you pause in November to get clear about how you COULD spend your energy, time and resources and then mindfully choose where to focus in your work, relationships, and personal health ... you are so much more likely to end the year feeling good about your choices, and so start the year ready and regenerated for what is to come.

This practice is called POWER PAUSING. Wise leaders do it 4-8 times a year at key points that harmonize us with the natural cycles. 

Specifically we do it in November so we don't get caught up in the swirl of the holiday madness and consumption, but instead make space for what matters. 

In this power pause, Christine Arylo, women's leadership advisor:

• Teaches you about power pauses - why they work and how they support us as leaders, esp during intense times
• Gives you 4 inquiries to ask yourself that you can apply to your work, relationships and personal health to create the space to complete what matters most to you by the end of the year
• Shares how to stop the holiday time patterns and rituals that drain you and create new ones that sustain you
• Shares how to use these wisdom tools to create deeper connection with your partner, team, friends and yourself.

Attend her annual Year End Power Pause and Reflection Ritual on Dec 17th - livestreamed from Valley of the Moon Wine Country. 

"Our women's wombs are not only for birthing children, but also for birthing new worlds" - Gaia Codex. 

There lives within the heart and body and spirit of every woman a deep wisdom... that goes beyond the intellect, beyond this time and way of thinking... some call it a 'codex' ... others call it a 'sacred web'... most of us were not taught how to access this deeper well and web of wisdom in our conventional school, families or on-the job trainings.

Yet knowing how to access and work with this wisdom and the 'sacred technology' it offers us, is the very key to the answers we seek on how we create, lead and live at this time in the world.

In this Feminine Power Time, Christine Arylo and guest Sarah Drew, author of Gaia Codex, invite you into:

• An exploration of feminine wisdom - what feminine wisdom really is?
• An application of feminine wisdom - powerful ' sacred technology' that can support us to lead the way to creating the world we each desire to live in and each feel called to be part of creating.
• Remembering this wisdom that has always been accessible to us as women - but we have forgotten how to access it, trust it and use it to inform our work in this world. Until now.
• Expanding your access to the 'Codex' and power of 'Sacred Circle' to fuel and focus your work and support you to create in a way that sustains you personally as well as professionally.

Sarah Drew is the author of Gaia Codex and also one of the 11 wisdom teachers in The Art of Sacred Circle, a collective group of women, led by Christine Arylo, to birth new offerings, programs and trainings that create transformation and connection, and support their sacred work to grow, the feminine way.

To learn about The Art of Sacred Circle training and incubator -which starts in the Fall of every year go to www.ArtofSacredCircle.com

To learn more about Sarah Drew and Gaia Codex go to www.GaiaCodex.com  

Why is it that we hide and hold back? When our inner wisdom whispers, or screams, at us to step forward, be more visible, speak up, be a force for change, give our great work, be seen in new ways that can feel vulnerable... why can even the most courageous confident woman hold back, procrastinate, distract herself with busyness, and any other of a myriad of strategies we employ that keeps us smaller than we are and less seen that we need to be?

There are real reasons we distract and sabotage ourselves from stepping out and giving our sacred work in new ways, speaking our truth or wisdom or making an offering that feels vulnerable or risky. 

And in this Feminine Power Time, Christine Arylo, with a special guest, open up a provoking conversation to explore what keeps women from stepping forward to be more visible and seen, including:

• Illuminate the reasons behind why women hide and hold back that most people don't talk about - but would serve all women to know. 
• Feminine Fear - what it is, how it works and how the collective fear of women being persecuted for being powerful and having wisdom still affects us today 
• How we stop ourselves from putting our work, thoughts, offerings out there because we short circuit ourselves ... and yogic and feminine wisdom to just get started, even if it's not perfect.
• The new model for creating and making our offerings and doing our sacred work in the world that requires us to stop isolating and start creating in collaboration. 

For those of you who are called to hold space for others or gather others to create connection and transformation, the 2017 Art of Sacred Circle Creative Incubator and Circle Training starts Nov 9th. Create and birth your next offering, program, circle, in sisterhood, with other wise women who dare to step forward to make shift happen. www.ArtofSacredCircle.com 

We need sisterhood more than ever. Not just one friend or one group of women we relate to - but multiple 'circles' of women
 with different levels of intimacy, relationship, and connection that can be there with us and for us as we navigate through the intense and uncertain world we live in. 

Cultivating strong circles of sisterhood are our life saving devices during these intense and uncertain times.

With strong circles and connection to circles of other women -
that we are part of consistently, that we can reach out to in times of crisis or challenge, that know us, hold us and love us unconditionally- we can weather any storm that comes our way AND we gain the strength, courage and compassion to stretch in all the ways we are being called to grow and change.

On the eve of my 12th wedding anniversary, I invited my life partner Noah Martin to join us for an intimate, real and illuminating conversation on what the heck is going on in the dynamics between women and men who are in partnership? 

I've been talking with so many of the women I work with and hearing the same things...  

* Strong women exhausted from being the major money maker or care taker and tired of holding this role, but don't see another way

* Men who are good men but who can't seem to find their path and purpose or drive, or men who are driven but can't open up emotionally

* So many men who seem isolated, and are trying to figure it out without the support and brotherhood they need (and failing) - and their partners who are tired of trying to support them to get support.

* Couples where both people aren't totally happy with their 'roles' but don't know how to get out of them and create a new reality for their partnership 

* Single women who desire partnership but can't seem to find a 'good man' who is open to growing with them spiritually, together, and also has his sovereignty in tact. 

In this episode of Feminine Power Time, Noah and I sat at our kitchen table - a table made from a temple door from Indonesia, and opened the portal to share our experience in the way these same dynamics play out for us, what we have learned, how we have continued to create a partnership where we both can thrive, and some insight into why the way we are in relationship is calling for an upgrade and new ways. 

** We also share our "Love Treaty" - our agreements for when we fight, how we operate in our partnership, and how we use conflict to create more possibility for us both. Go here to get a copy www.TheLoveTreaty.com 

** Noah Martin is a trained relationship advisor with a masters degree is Spiritual Psychology, and a former economic analyst and risk assessor who helps couples navigate their big life decisions and work together to create dream partnerships where both people thrive. Noah works individually with couples and individuals. Contact him at Noah@DreamPartnerships.com   

In intense times, we need "sacred space" to tap into our own inner wisdom more than ever... or else we run the risk of getting swept into the swirl of the world. But what is sacred space? How do you create it? What does it give us? And how can you make it part of the rhythm of your life without needing to find more time.

Taped here at the Fall Equinox - a super power time of the year for taking a power pause - sacred space to rebalance and reharmonize and reset your focus for the second half of the year, join Christine Arylo for this Feminine Power Time episode and:

• Get the wisdom byte on what sacred space actually is and why it has such super power (different from making time)
• Learn about the four most powerful times of the year to take sacred space
• Tap into how to use the Sept Equinox and the end of October for illuminating the path ahead in your work, life, relationships, health
• Receive a mini power pause meditation with Christine including the 3 wisdom inquiries to ask yourself now at Fall Equinox so you can focus your energy, time and resources on what matters most the rest of the year
• Why wise women and men vision in late Oct /early November not in January.

How do you stay connected with compassion and courage to the world around you and all that is occurring during these intense times without getting overwhelmed by it? Or distracted by it? Or just pulling the covers over your head and forgetting all about it.

Between the natural disasters of floods and fires, and the human disasters of man made missles launching over countries, and man made missles of frustation and anger being launched daily through Facebook, in the streets, in the workplace... just how do you deal with this in a way that is compassionate and caring but without becoming consumed by it? 

The sages predicted we would enter this time of catalyzation - it is intense. And they also left us wisdom for how to 'be' with it in which we can be the calm in the storm vs adding fuel to the fire. 

Join Christine Arylo, at this Feminine Power Time, for a invoking and elevating conversation about how those who desire to be part of changing the world and creating a world that supports humanity instead of separates it can:

• Be connected to the world, without becoming overwhelmed by it, and getting caught in the swirl of fear and frenzy.
• Have compassion and be an agent for change without becoming an empathetic mess who takes on others feelings 
• Stay focused on your part and feel like what you are doing is enough 
• The one thing we each need to cultivate more of during this time to stay centered - and how we can lead others to do the same

To be part of the shift by teaching others self love go to www.PathofSelfLove.org 

When a woman or girl knows how to tell the difference between the inner force that reacts from fear, shame and judgment and sabotages her and the inner force that guides her from loving truth, to respond in accordance to her truth, she gains 'super power'. Super power to make the choices both small (in her daily live) and big (like who she will marry or if she will marry, what career she will choose, where she will live).

In my dream world, girls would be taught about their "Feminine Super Power of Intuition" and how to create a strong self trust from a very early age - as early as 6 or 7 (because that is when the other force starts to appear). And then we would grow up as young women talking about these forces, supporting each other to discern between them. We would live our lives as women holding space for each other to sort between what yogi's call the distorted negative mind and the distorted positive mind to find our neutral minds where they say we can know our truth within 9 seconds. We would live our lives trusting our intuition and we would follow it no matter what - even when we are scared or it goes against conventional wisdom or our peers.

In this week's Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo, we'll tap into the yogic and divine feminine wisdom and explore:

• What are these two inner forces within the hearts, minds and bodies within all women and girls - and how do we discern the difference between which one is behind our thoughts and actions?
• How do we strengthen our self trust so we can choices that honor and support us - in our relationships, career, health, wealth, everything
• What happens to women and girls when they don't trust their inner wisdom (i will share some stories that will touch your heart)
• A couple simple feminine super power practices you can start using right away in your daily life to bring more awareness of these two forces, shifting negative self talk, self doubt and self sabotaging habits into self loving actions.

And of course we will end with a mighty meditation to make this all personal and embodied. Remember, feminine power is not a mental idea, it's an embodied practice and wisdom.

It can be really challenging to discern between your inner voice of fear and the guidance of your inner wisdom - which is why I am sharing this Self Trust Meditation with you, which is from the Self Love Meditation Album I created (www.SelfLoveMeditation.com). It's a short but mighty way to connect with your Inner Wisdom about a situation, challenge, or choice you might be facing - to help you presence the doubt or fear and potential self sabotage to cut through to the wisdom and truth in your heart and soul. 

Self trust is one of the 10 parts of cultivating a strong inner foundation, a strong self-love. Self trust is the ability to listen to one's inner guidance, gain clarity from within and then act from that inner truth no matter what, even if it scares you or leads you to do things differently than others. 

When a woman or girl knows how to tell the difference between the inner force that reacts from fear, shame and judgment and sabotages her and the inner force that guides her from loving truth, to respond in accordance to her truth, she gains ‘super power’. Super power to make the choices both small (in her daily live) and big (like who she will marry or if she will marry, what career she will choose, where she will live). The choices we make can change the trajectory of our lives – in powerful ways. Think about the choices you have made from your deep inner wisdom … and the choices you have made from fear that went against your inner knowing....

Tune in to this special meditation and have a conversation with your Inner Wisdom - illuminate the fear and then move forward from courage.
