In these intense times, where we are each being called to step forward... make changes, navigate uncertainty, do things differently... respond to the now, while re-imagining our future... it can all feel so overwhelming. 

We need different ways to start our year, and vision, plan and create the year to come.

There are big misunderstandings in our culture about visioning, goal setting & achieving that stem from a "go, go , go, work hard, stay busy" mindset that many of us have been trained to operate from.... which honestly set us up for more pressure, overwhelm and self-criticism vs. true, sustainable success.

In this Feminine Power Time - #174: A Different Way to Start & Create Your Next Your we'll explore how to think about and go about the first 6 weeks of the year...setting your focus professionally and personally... and then working in "co-creation" all year.

Giving ourselves the space to rise up into the new year, and be intentional and tap into our intuitive intelligence to gain wisdom  is how we stay focused on what matters, centered in ourselves, so you we stay fluid, meet what comes and expand into the possibility.

When you shift your relationship to how to start your year, you begin the year feeling healthy time pressure AND spaciousness, which sets up your year to feel the same. 

We'll explore a different way to: 

  • Think about Jan 1st as not the only new year and other   natural starts of the year.
  • Set resolutions and goals that create spacious success vs. stress and self judgement. 
  • Set a time span in January that gives you space to contemplate & consider where to focus this next year so you create a reality that sustains and supports you vs. just more to do or more of what you've always done.
  • Think about 'planning' your year, in way that works for the times we live in.
  • Timeless wisdom and new language and metaphors for how to achieve, manifest, focus and set intentions and work them into reality

I will share three Feminine Wisdom Principles for Visioning and Intention Setting, including #1 and #3 and #8 - you will love these!

#1: Work with the natural cycles and mimic mother nature, not man-made constructs of time.

#3: Wise ones don't set goals or resolutions, or say "I want." Empowered beings desire and intend. 

#8: Seek wisdom not answers. Seek a path not a plan.

I love sharing this deep and practical wisdom every year at this time as a different way to vision, succeed and reach out goals. 

This year more than ever is the time to embrace doing things differently ... as a practice and a path.

Tune in.

See you there, and for more check out below.

Most of us feel like we are not doing enough - in our day to day, towards our goals, for others in need or for the planet .

It's more likely we feel like we are always behind, like there is never enough time, and like we will never have the space to get to what matters most.

Why? Because we suffer from “Achievers Amnesia.” We forget, can't see, and don't feel what we have completed, done for others, or brought more into form or how we have made an impact in our relationships, teams, organizations and world.  

Think about it this way… over the course of a year, you give so much to so many people and projects and do much to manage your daily demands while also working towards your dreams. And you forget how much you actually accomplish.

It’s way easier to see what you have not done vs. seeing all you have. So you keep driving, striving, working, until you drop from exhaustion or melt down because of overwhelm. Or you just keep persevering and pushing forward.

Achiever's amnesia is a mental disease that drives us into burnout, overwhelm and anxiety. It robs you of receiving the success and happiness you work so hard for.

Here's the remedy:

  1. Your body and being need to FEEL what you have achieved and the impact you have made - or else your brain won't register it.
  2. You slow down to let your heart and belly RECEIVE and SAVOR the achievements, accomplishments and ways that you have made an impact in the world through the people's lives and hearts you have touched.
  3. Every year near the Solstice - the darkest day of the year- I host a live Year End Reflection Ritual. This year it will be on December 19th. You can come live or get the recording later - RSVP at www.ReflectionRitual.com 

Today, in this Feminine Power Time podcast 173:Achievers Amnesia: 3 Proof Points You've Done More Than You Think, we'll get the juices flowing, in ways that open your body and being up to see and feel just how much your presence and effort has made a difference in your dreams and goals AND with the people and life on this planet.

We'll shine a light on 3 proof points and I'll take you through an embodied meditation so you can feel the impact + give yourself some space to replenish and rest. 

Tune in. 

Take the love and wisdom in.

Then join us for the Year End Reflection Ritual and then for the Emerge Visioning. 

With great heart,
Christine

While the holiday marketing and messages promise us tidings of peace and joy, the reality is that the consciousness of overculture is set to get you and I to buy more, consume more, and do more.

And while we all want more meaningful connection, it's way too easy to say yes to things because of obligation, habit or fear of missing out.

Every year as we go into December, we take a stand for us all here at Feminine Power Time to do things differently - in how we make our choices for how we spend our time, money and energy so that come the new year WE FEEL SUSTAINED and REPLENISHED - emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially and mentally. 

We choose to implement our practice of the "December Downshift" - so that we can begin the new year reset, replenished and rested.

This Feminine Power Podcast - 172 Avoid Holiday Overwhelm. 3 Practices to You Calm Centered Clear -builds on the previous podcast, so be sure to tune both. And then use the inquiries and the practices to support you to make small and bigger choices that sustain vs. drain you.

Here are 3 of the practices I'll share:

1. Practice #1: Create an intentional time span that creates both focus + space for what you need personally, relationally + professionally. From now through January 11th.


2. Practice #2: Make your choices in Nov & Dec based on how you want to feel physically, emotionally, & mentally and in your spirit as you start 2022. Choose your 4 Holiday Harmonizers.


3. Practice #3: Embrace & Do What Feels Sustaining.
Release & Redesign What Feels Draining. Including releasing doing things out of pressure, obligation, guilt, FOMO, “it’s tradition” or over-connecting. And mimicking the over-culture.



Plus I will lead you through a few visualizations and meditations that will help you tune into your deeper wisdom for what to say YES to, NO to, so you can stay true to yourself, even if that means disappointing another or doing things differently.

And I'll share wisdom on how to mimic the natural world to make December and January supportive and self empowering. 

Tune in.

Then remember to RSVP for the annual year end Reflection Ritual - www.ReflectionRitual.com - and the EMERGE Visioning Journey in January www.EmergeVisioning.com .

See you there!

I have a question for you: "Would you like to start the new year feeling clear - mentally & emotionally? Like your physical space to feel clear and coherent? Like to be free of some of the relationship drama or distress in your personal or professional relationships?"

Imagine how you would feel if you had more space in the last few weeks of this year and the first few weeks of next year. 

Are you exhaling yet? 

Of course our answers to this possibility are YES! Starting the new year clear is not just a nice to have - it's what any wise person would do.

But how do you 'do' that? Especially in the intense year(s) we've been through? 

My council has been the same for a decade, and it's even more essential in the times we are living in. The wisdom is clear:

You put into place simple but mighty practices that empower to you make choices that lead to you working and living and feeling in the f.l.o.w. (Focusing Lifeforce On What matters.

The practice I will guide you through today is called a Power Pause (a short and simple one). Power Pauses use the wisdom tool of 'intuitive thinking inquiries' that reveal insights you miss if you only operate from your mental mind vs your higher and heart mind.

In this episode of Feminine Power Time: a Power Pause:  3 Inquiries That Will Support Complete the Year Feeling Clear, I will share the FLOW practice I use myself every year at this time, and we do as part of living and working the feminine wisdom way. 

It includes 3 inquiries that will help you 

  • Complete and put energy toward what you really desire to get done and take care of - in relation to your body needs, your money management, your home space, your work & creative projects and your mental space 

  • Bring 'twiggly danglers' in your relationships into coherency in a healthy way - parts of relationships professionally or personally in where something it out of whack or alignment, that you know deep down if you don't deal with will come back next year in a more dramatic way. 
     
  • Reflow projects and things you'd like to do but you know there's not really space to do until next year - which will create space for you to savor these next few weeks and the first weeks of the new year.

I will also share some very specific examples of what I do to create space, relief and release this way - including just releasing 3800 emails in one hour! 

Do this short power pause with me now and then come to the full Year End Reflection Ritual and Power Pause on Dec 19th www.ReflectionRitual.com 

So grateful we are connected!
With heart

Christine

WORK WISE + LIVE WELL is the HOW we get relief from the burnout, overwork, anxiety, and overwhelm. How we stop ourselves and the organizations we work in or run ourselves from accepting the grind, the push, the hustle as the norm.

Without new language, models, elevated perspectives + space to practice and trust doing things differently, we stay stuck in our current reality or make it just a little better.

As we start to tap into true WISDOM, we become empowered to use our voices and choices to create realities for ourselves, those we love & lead, our organizations and teams, and this world that are rooted in sustainability, wellness, connection and prospering for people and planet.

In this episode of Feminine Power Time, #170 Work Wise Live Well, #3 of 3 in our Overworked and Over It Series, we will explore:

3 models + 3 practices + 3 acts of harmonic defiance
for releasing ways of working that burn us out + embracing new ways that have the power to create sustainable success, wellness + a life we can savor.

We will explore models that illuminate the distorted and unhealthy way of working and thinking that's created our current society and norms, and shine the light on other ways to approach achieving, succeeding and thriving, including:

  • The difference between working Working Hard. Working Smart. and Working Wise.
  • The 4-part path to Sustainable Creation vs. Unsustainable Creation.
  • Toxic Time Pressure vs. Healthy Time Pressure 
  • Working in the Rhythm of the natural cycles vs. the routine and prescribed man made time lines  

We'll also share practices for:

  • Giving enough to work and others, vs 110% or your all - without guilt
  • Reflowing projects, meetings, to dos, and goals when they start to feel crunchy 
  • Harmonizing your rhythm and the way you plan your life and work with the natural yearly and moonly cycles 

This episode was originally delivered as one of my quarterly/monthly Wisdom Sessions. For the past 7+ years I've held a wisdom session on 11.11 focusing on how we can tap into our deeper wisdom - our crazy wisdom - to do things differently, make courageous, wise choices that are aligned with our heart desires and soul path.   

If you'd like to watch the session via video, or see the glyphs I mention, I included the link below. As well as in the episode I reference the book Overwhelmed and Over It with page numbers.

Time. It's one of those things that we all wish we had more of, and one of those things that contributes to the every day pressure we feel under. But did you ever... consider that time is a human made system? Or notice that many of the deadlines, must-get-done-by's, and must-do-this-nows put on us by others or generated by ourselves are in many cases preferences or unnecessary time constraints? 

I have spent ALOT of time thinking about time - lol. Going deeper underneath to find the roots of the pressure, burnout, stress, anxiety and driving forces that force us to work and operate in crazy-paced, unrealistic ways. 

As I was writing Overwhelmed and Over It, I wrote 20,000 words on Liberating ourselves from the time constraints and toxic time pressures that are just not necessary. We've just accepted the pace and pressure of how we work as normal but it's anything but 'normal' for a healthy planet and healthy humans. 

For this podcast, Transforming Tight Time Constraints & Toxic Time Pressure (#2 of 3 in our Overwhelmed and Over It Series, which will lead us into the Work Wise. Live Well. Wisdom Session).... I combed through the book to find three pieces of wisdom + 3 practices and actions you can take now to release yourself from the ways of working that are rooted in undue time pressure and ideals. 

Here's some of what we will explore:

  • What are time constraints ? And how do you know they are binding you up?
  • The 3 kinds of "fabricated time pressure" - how to spot it in others and in your organizations and projects, and yourself
  • How to notice the self-sabotaging things you are doing in your day to day that are stealing your time, or causing you to give too much time to the wrong things
  • Deadlines - why you DON"T want to work with these. 
  • 3 inquiries that will help you find the toxic time pressure in your life now, and give you simple but mighty ways to release the pressure
  • What is 'healthy time pressure' and how can you use it to get what matters done in a more fluid and efficient (and joyful) way

To see glyphs of what I am talking about and get the inquiries I mention, refer to Section 4: Liberate Your Time in the Overwhelmed and Over It book.

See you there!

Oct 31, 2021

Burnout, overwhelm, feeling like we have too much to do with not enough time, resources or support, struggling to find work/life balance is not new, our bodies breaking down because the stress is too much, our minds unable to slow down, feeling like it's all on us.

It's been our reality especially as women for MANY decades. The catalyst of the pandemic, chaos, intense weather, etc are outpicturings that we have hit the boiling point ... as a society, a culture, and individuals. 

The truth is:

How we have been imprinted, educated and expected to work is not sustainable, healthy or human. 

And when I say work, I don't just mean what you do to receive money. I mean ALL the things you give your life force and time to, including those people, communities and causes you parent, care for and tend to. 

Consider this: We are at standing at the place where we can make great shifts in short time spans... if we are willing to take a stand, say NO MORE to what doesn't work and isn't really necessary or healthy, and say YES to do things differently.  Even if that means disappointing another, disrupting a pattern, & dismantling structures.

But how do we 'do' that ? Without overwhelming ourselves or just quitting our jobs and lives and creating an even more unsustainable reality?

This is what I have spend the last decade plus researching, living and defining, and what became the foundation for the Overwhelmed and Over It book. 

In this three part series, Overworked and Over It: I combed through the book pulled out 3 principles, practices and perspectives that give us the power to spot the B.S. ways of working that burn people and planet out... and then give us the wisdom to do it differently. 

These are specific simple but significant acts you can take in your day to day life, now to do what i call "Work Wise. Live Well" ... as you begin to make different choices, you start to see the distorted internal imprints & external norms you've been responding from, and you gain the insight to make wiser choices for yourself, others and your organizations. 

In this episode #168 of Feminine Power Time "Overworked and Over It: Stop Filing the Gaps & Giving 110%" we will explore 3 wisdom teachings for working wise + inquiries and practices you can use in your day to day to make different, more sustainable choices:

Wisdom for Working Wise:

  • Stop filling all the holes and gaps. Start doing just your part.  
  • Stop giving 110% when 80% would do or you will never have enough time for what matters to you. Start giving and doing enough.
  • We can't stop working so hard or giving too much because we fear everything will fall apart if we do 

Practices and Inquiries:

  • What leaks am I plugging that are creating distress or fragmentation for me?
  • Where am I giving 110% when 80% would do? 
  • What am I afraid will happen if I stopped working so hard or giving so much? 

Tune in. Refer to the Overwhelmed and Over It book for visuals and the wisdom written down for you. 

See you there,

Christine

Anger and grief are good human emotions. They have the potential to open up so much for us - individually and collectively. Lead to healing, breaking down barriers, breaking through to better realities.

The problem is that most humans weren't taught how to express anger or grief in healthy ways, so it comes out sideways in distorted ways, or it gets stuffed down until we blow up or get sick. Sometimes we are the receiver of that big emotional eruption and other times we are the "unleasher" or "erupter" on someone else.

Join me for this Feminine Power Time conversation - Sacred Rage. Holy Grief. - where we explore perspectives and practices around dealing with the kind of rage and grief that comes from people's/our wound, and how to it differently in ways that lead to wholeness. We will explore inquiries like:

How do we...

  • Discharge anger & grief? So it doesn't build up inside us and leak out or erupt in distorted ways? 
  • Have big emotions like rage and grief about the world, about our reality, about other people's actions or choices, without them consuming us? 
  • Using our big emotions to heal ourselves and ignite creative action that inspires? 
  • Deal with other peoples misdirected rage and grief?
  • Respond to the things that piss us off, in powerful ways that make the world better vs. adding to the chaos. 

See below for some of the practices I mention in the podcast. 

I've been contemplating this topic for weeks and weeks, waiting for the right moment to arise. Today it did. 

After you listen, share with me one insight you took away that spoke to your heart, or illuminated a wisdom bite for you. (on the Feminine Wisdom Cafe). 

With heart,

Christine

This is a special broadcast of a letter I wrote to from my heart to the hearts of the women around the world when I was writing Overwhelmed and Over It: Embrace Your Power to Stay Centered and Sustained in a Chaotic World

I often write a letter when writing a book, to help me tap into the heart and soul of why i am writing this book, and why I feel so passionate about sharing the perspectives, wisdom and stories enclosed in it. 

For this book, that letter became the opening. Today, on the one year anniversary of its publication, I am sharing it FIRST here with you on Feminine Power Time as a special podcast broadcast. 

Why? Because every time I sit down to create and tape a Feminine Power Time, I intend to connect with you heart to heart... to be real... to share openly... to bring insight and wisdom... and to be space where you can deeply tap into your deep internal wisdom. 

For 5 years, the listeners of this podcast have been with me, here, having these conversations that much of the world is just waking up to. 

The world's been crazy for a long time. It's just now, it's catalyzing at warp speed, because we MUST change. People and the planet have been burning out for decades if not centuries. 

But the game isn't over. 

You and I are the makers, creators, mothers of the world ... we shape culture by how we make our choices and use our voices ... we create reality ... but not if we get swirled into the swirl, can't see the systemically-generated and self-induced burnout games and structures. 

AND we need each other, to help us tap into what is real, she what is needed, and then from our deep wisdom, embrace our power to choose differently and say NO MORE to what's not working.

So today... I share this with you... 

Get some tea or vino or pelligrino. Or just take a chill moment in the sun. And tune in.

May this release some pressure and create more courage and clarity and connection for you today. 

with great heart,

Christine

In the third part of our series on Staying Sane in an Insane World, we activate one of the most subtle but absolutely potent powers we have ... the power of inquiry and contemplation. 

We are trained in our over culture to value and work with questions and answers to drive to a conclusion, usually as fast as possible. "Time is money." And we are imprinted with a value system that says we must have the answer, if we don't we risk looking a fool, being called out or being discounted. 

But operating this way - in a mindset about quick answers vs. contemplation and consideration... in a world that values confidence over curiosity.... keeps us stuck in the consciousness and realities that don't work for us individually or collectively. Unhealthy, insane ways of working, relating and living.

In a wiser, healthy culture, one that values the feminine, we practice the art of inquiry and contemplation to open up possibility and to gain clarity.  

 For this session of Feminine Power Time I chose 4 inquiries that I use often in making choices everyday. They are the same ones I use when I am working with a leader to unlearn the distorted approach to growth, goal setting and management, and to learn a different, wiser, healthier way of working.    

As I lead you through these 4 inquiries, bring a challenge, a catalyst, a situation you are working or that is working you. And we can apply it to inquiries and see what emerges!  

Some of what we'll explore:

1.  The power of wonder. Inquiry: I wonder...

2.  The power of quintessence. Inquiry: What is at the core? What is the essence?

3. The power of seeing beyond your five senses to shift out of fear into a response that leads to harmony and healin. Inquiry: What's real? What's needed? What do I need?

4. The power of choosing to move forward consciously vs waiting for change to kick you in the butt. Inquiry: How do we/I move forward from here?

See you there!

It's time to activate and utilize one of the most powerful tools we have to stay centered, sustained and focused on what matters - the Power Pause.

This practice gets us focused the last  3 months / 4 moon cycles of the year.  And does wonders for keeping us healthy in an unhealthy world.

There are many things you could do these last 3 months of the year, but what is really most important to you? What will bring you the best returns ? And what shifts in your habits, patterns, and structures are needed to support you in this last cycle?  

Wise women know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support them to grow their work, wealth and relationships, to support their health, and to keep them focused on what matters.

The September Equinox offers you insight to illuminate where the imbalances currently exist in your life & how to reset yourself and refocus your life force  - especially the ways in which you are over giving and under receiving, the habits that may have worked in the summer but won't support you now, and the ways in which making changes to your home, health and wealth can support you to end your year strong, sane and supported.

In this Feminine Power Time : POWER PAUSE: Reflect, Rebalance and Reset Your Focus at Equinox ... and exhale! 4 Inquiries to Get Focused on What Matters Most the Last Part of this Year & Feel Good About What You've Already Done...

Women's leadership and empowerment advisor and teacher, Christine Arylo, marries her MBA business background with 15+ years of wisdom and spiritual study in practical ways that can support you to elevate out of overwhelm, stay focused on what matters, shift sabotaging habits and take care of small things that make a big difference. 

Tune into this Power Pause and:

  • Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year - and how this practice can yield big returns in your business, career, relationships and health/wealth/home
  • Experience the feminine way of growing our work and impact vs tackling projects, driving like a torpedo, or pressuring ourselves to make things happen too fast

Be led through a visualization and meditation to:

  • Feel good about what you have already done this year. 
  • Reveal the imbalances - work, relationships, health, wealth or home - that need attention.
  • Consider what you need to bring the imbalances into harmony, so you have what you need 
  • Gain clarity on how to best focus your attention the last part of this year.

Power Pauses are a form of feminine leadership which teaches us to work in harmony with the natural cycles of how the material and mystical world both work. Part of her Feminine Wisdom School and Feminine Leadership Programs Arylo teaches how to use this ancient wisdom and way of working to apply to creating a life and work that creates an impact and is sustainable.

In the second part of our series on Staying Sane in an Insane World, this week we press the "elevate" button to get a wider, higher view of what's happening in our world landscape.

This practice of "pressing the elevate button" is how we find wisdom amongst the madness, find our way to center in the midst of chaos, and open up possibility, compassion and connection instead of more of the same game humankind has been stuck in some thousands of years.

I've been contemplating what I would share in this podcast "4 Perspectives for Staying Sane in an Insane World" as I've been in deep listening and observing mode. 

What I share are four perspectives to contemplate, consider, chew on, try on and be curious about. Take what resonates, leave the rest. All I ask is you come with an open heart and mind, in service to us each unlocking ourselves and all beings and life from the consciousness that just no longer serves. 

Some of what we'll explore:

  1. Duality Reality and Polarities that pull us apart and pit us against each other and the power of 'standing in and surrendering to the paradox" to access a new level of reality
     
  2. How we work in this world now in ways that support life and humans to thrive is not the same way we've worked in the past

  3. Breaking apart the matrix of a dominating, power-over, distorted masculine world and value system, that's kept us stuck in unsustainable, inequitable realities. 

  4. What action we can take by choosing who we will be as we go through this collective transformation.

Plus I will sing a little diddy for you at the end. 

Share the English paper I wrote that broke my heart open and opened my wise woman eyes.

I'll end us with a short meditation and leave you with these words:

Who do you choose to be?
Remember your personal healing matters. 
Believe your personal choices matter.
How will you give your gifts and voice to create the world you know in your heart is possible? 

See you there!

Christine

The word sane means free from mental disturbance. I would add emotional disturbance too. The kinds that creates confusion, doubt, impulsive choices, procrastination and all kinds of the commotion we might be feeling within, and are seeing spinning in our world. 

While we cannot stop the insanity we see happening in our world and the people within it at a whole new level these days (or even may be feeling ourselves)... there are things we can DO to stay sane, sustained, centered and focused on what matters. 

We 'do' these things - called practices - not just when the wave of insanity becomes a tsunami or a tropical storm. The wise ones put these into place proactively, we design our lives, the way we work, think and operate with them. 

Our daily and weekly practices are the structures that hold us no matter what is happening around us. 

Our practices give us the space to have our human emotions and release them out of our system so we can respond from an elevated, higher frequency, more humane consciousness that opens people and possibility up vs. creating more polarity and unhelpful chaos. 

Our practices give us wisdom. 

So we can use our creative life force to create the world we desire for ourselves, each other, and those we love, lead and influence. 

So here's what we are going to do these next three episodes of Feminine Power Time focused on "Staying Sane in an Insane World" ... Start with 4 practices for staying emotionally & mentally healthy & clear in this episode #162. Then perspectives. Then possibilities. 

We are going to be with what is, and use our super power to lighten up, be the creators and the makers, and ensure we have what we need to make clear, supportive choices and navigate when we 'fall off our surfboard'.

Tune in and I'll share more about the practices:

CREATE 
CONVERSATE & COUNCIL 
CENTER & CONNECT TO YOUR CORE  
CLEAR YOUR FIELD 

Did you know that the root of the word SANE means healthy? 

Which means we are diving into how to Stay Healthy in an Unhealthy World. 

Just think about that re-frame ... if you let your wise being eyes see the unhealthy worlds and realities... and you make a choice to stay healthy - mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, relationally and materially at this time - how would that inform or guide your daily, weekly and bigger choices.

Something to ponder ... and put into practice :)

With great heart,
Christine

You and I have the super power to consciously choose to catalyze ourselves vs. wait to be catalyzed the a big Universal 2x4. We have the power to work with the catalyzing energy happening on our planet right now in a way that supports and serves us and others vs. overwhelming us. But like any super power, if you can't name it and articulate it, you can't wield its power.

The feminine super power of catalyze is: the power to use the situations that life brings you as liberators and elevators that lift YOU & OTHER up to expanded levels of consciousness and reality. 

When you choose to embrace your power to catalyze yourself out of a comfort zone, with focus and swiftness, you release and shed what's no longer needed (and is weighing you down)... 

And as a result take a self empowered step into your soul's evolution, liberating yourself to a more full, true, empowered expression.

When you shift how what's challenging you right now in your life from something happening to you into something happening through you, you step into your power to meet and work with whatever is showing up.... as a process and path to greater healing, freeing and expressing. 

Look around your life right now - at your work, your relationships, your physical foundation of health, wealth and home. Ask yourself:

1. What would I LOVE to catalyze in my life right now? 

2. What is already being catalyzed in your life? And if you named it, you could powerfully start working with it vs it working you. 

Then Join me for episode 161 of Feminine Power Time - Feminine Super Power: Catalyze! Release the comfortable. Embrace the call to shift. 

This is practical wisdom in action - to apply to whatever is catalyzing or wants to be in your life. We'll dive into:

  • 3 of the principles of the feminine super power of Catalyze so that you can be a Conscious Catalyzer 
  • How to meet challenges as catalysts 
  • How to catalyze yourself to step out of your comfort zone vs waiting for the Universe to do it for you
  • How to work with the catalyzing energy of our time to
  • Liberation - what it is and how you can use it

We'll reveal and identify:

  • What are your lifetime catalyzers? Those areas of your life that keep challenging you? 
  • What "skins" - roles, responsibilities, and robes of expression or repression - are you ready or is it time to release? 
  • What within you is calling to be liberated? What desires to be more free to express? What do you desire to be more free to receive? 
  • What ways of living, relating, or working are you complete with and ready to liberate yourself from? 

Tune in. And if you missed the podcast series on Sacred Transformation #126 - 128, tune in to that too.

See you there.

When people ask me how I am doing, I always say to them "I am in the yoga of life." It's the most accurate, honest and frankly rewarding answer. Twenty years ago when I found yoga and it found me, I didn't realize how much it would re-shape how I saw the world, and honestly how much it would prepare me for this world today. I can honestly say that I would not be able to do what I do, be the person I am, without it. 

Yoga is so much more than being bend, meditating for hours or proving our strength by how long you can hold a pose, or if you can do a handstand. 

Yoga means union. 

The physical practice of yoga is just one gateway into what is a well of golden wisdom that the yogis left for us to meet the times we are in. It's like then knew 'this' - today's intense world - was coming. 

And while I talk about yogic wisdom all the time, and it's informed so much of my teachings, I also find that we have a lot of misperceptions about yoga in the western world. And there's so much more to it that is right there, if we are willing to open up to it. 

Which is why I invited a new friend, Patsy Kuo Eisenstein, a native of Taiwan who moved to the US at the age of 20, and host o f the New & Ancient Story Community to join us for a special "wise woman tea" session of Feminine Power Time: #160: Living Life as A Yoga, Yogi Perspectives for Thriving in Our Times.

We invite you to join us as we look through the eyes of the yogi, through our personal journey with yoga, the practice of yoga not just on the mat, but in every area of our lives, and how yoga as a way of life is core to our ability to serve this world and stay sustained within ourselves. 

We share our experience of:

  • How ‘yoga’ finds you and how the wisdom opens up to you over time.
  • Leadership and power through the eyes of a Western woman  practicing yoga 
  • Harmonic Defiance as a yogi - moving in strength, staying true to the self, receiving other people's judgements, and following your deeper wisdom no matter what
  • Dealing with people we don't agree with, that trigger us and that we just don't understand - in ways we don't waste our chi ranting or fighting against, but how that make a subtle but significant impact 
  • What 'living life as a yoga' means and how to explore what that could look like for you  

Tune in. 

Join us.

And then connect with Patsy. And come over to the Feminine Wisdom Cafe and join in the conversation. 

with great heart, 
Christine

Should you trust your logic and rationale brain or your deeper inner feelings and knowing when making choices? How do you know when to listen to the data or the numbers, and when to trust your heart and make a choice against what the numbers say?

Do you tend to rely more on your intellect or your intuition to guide you, and how is that helping you or hurting you? 

Join me and my partner in life and love and business, Noah Martin, for #3 in our Making Wise Choices series on Feminine Power Time: Using the Power of Both Your Head & Heart. 

I invited Noah to join us because he masterful at using both the head and the heart together to make wise choices (join us and you'll learn more why.)

Here is some of what we will dive into together. Bring with you the choice points you are standing at, and / or choices you have made in the past ... because we make this personal to you, so that you can make wiser choices in all parts of your life.

  • What having access to both our intellect and our intuition gives you
  • When you want to use your intellect - its' good at this - and when you want to trust your intuition (intellect sucks at this)

  • What bad choices made from the heart look like
  • What bad choice made from the head look like

  • Determine if you tend to over-rely on the head or the heart, and how that can be sabotaging you
  • How to get underneath the unconscious drivers of your decisions so you don't make impulsive choices from fear, or make a choice thinking you are getting on thing, but you get another. 

Tools like

  • The Power Spectrum of aligned intuition and intellect and distorted uses of both  
  • The Known and Unknown Clarity and Courage Booster

And 4 Wisdom Inquiries Noah shared to run yourself through to get underneath what is driving any choice you are making:

1. What is the dream that is underlying this decision? And does it actually help you get to the dream? 

2. What is the fear? 

3. What is your tendency towards making choices - do you lean to being overly optimistic or overly pessimistic? What is that part saying? 

4. What does your Inner Wisdom know?

If you are making choices that stretch you out of your comfort zone or go against the status quo you should expect fear to bubble up. It's normal and human. 

But how do you deal with the confusion, doubt, anxiety, frustration, impatience in a way that empowers you to make wise choices? And how do you get past it to find the wisdom that will actually guide you to making the wise and aligned choice for you? 

The truth is that most of us were not taught how to work with the mental, emotional, physical, and energetic responses and reactions our bodies, minds, hearts and psyches have when we make choices that stretch us, or trigger past trauma, hurt or suffering. 

But when you know how to work with both the parts of you that react from fear and past trauma or cultural or familial imprints AND the part of you connected to your true soul design and heart desires, you can the super power to elevate out of the doubt and confusion, into a inner knowing that empowers you to take action. 

In #2 of our Making Wise Choices series on Feminine Power Time with me, Christine Arylo, "Is Fear or Wisdom Guiding You? Clear Confusion & Doubt to Get to Your Truth":  we will dive into:

  • How to understand the different forces within you that influence your choices 
  • How to use the doubt, fear, confusion to make better choices and get what you need. 
  • Why you can't ignore your emotional reactions if you want to make wise choices
  • How to discern whether it's your inner critic/fear/past trauma/imprints making your choices or your inner wisdom
  • The Ping Pong effect - what to do when you get caught in this or that thinking. 
  • Practices for strengthening your clarity, including a 3-part practice you can do right now with the choices you are making

Bring whatever choices you are working with. You don't have to navigate this alone!

Wisdom byte:

  • You must give yourself the space to feel your emotion before you can find the path to the wise choice. 
  • When you stretch out of your comfort zone, it's normal to have fear and doubt. Just don't let it drive your choices. 
  • Your feelings are your super power. 
  • Your heart is your power center. Know how it works or you only operate at half of your intelligence.

You make choices every day. Every choice we make - big or small - affects the shape of our lives and the reality we live. But most of us were not taught how to make wise decisions.

We’ve been taught to be logical, and practical, but decisions about your life made from only the intellect often lead you to creating realties that limit you, burn you out, keep you from what you truly desire.

In changing, intense times like we live in, where we are each making choices - in our career, relationships, business, money and health - you cannot just rely on your intellect or what the mainstream world is telling you to make courageous and wise choices. 

Many of the choices I see women being faced with right now are also causing us to have to stretch outside our comfort zones … which can create feelings of fear and doubt… confusion and procrastination… and stress!

If you want to make choices that lead to a reality that supports you vs sacrifices you, you have to access both your heart wisdom and intuitive power first … have the inner skill to work with your own fear and confusion to find clarity… and then have the courage to make choices that will often look differently than others. And for this you need super powers, truly.

Which is why I decided to create this 3 part series on Feminine Power Time for you “Making Wise Choices”.

This first episode is focused on one of the super power tools I believe is essential … but most people lack. It’s called “Cultivating Your Wisdom Council” — without this I don’t think it is possible to stay focused on what matters, and make truly wise choices.

So tune in … I taped this on location in Northern California at the home of one of my soul sisters on my Wise Woman Council. during a weekend in which I came to visit 3 of the members of my council to help me make some big choices about my business and organization, and the shape of the reality those choices would create.

What I will share today is:

  • Why you want to make WISE CHOICES vs. smart choices.
  • What is a wisdom council, and why do you want to make sure you have one?
  • How to create your own Wisdom Council
  • Who to have in your council and who not to
  • How to ask for the support and clarity you need so you get wisdom not advice.

    I also have two daring acts for you to put this into place in your life now. 

Bring the choices and challenges you are facing ... and let's get you set up to have the support you need to stay clear and stay connected to what is true for you.

see you next week!
much love,

Christine

Are the choices you are making creating freedom for you? Or are you unknowningly creating realities that keep you stuck, stressed and out of alignment with what you truly desire? Most of us subconsciously make choices that laden us down vs. liberate us... but how do you know? 

Take a power pause with Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and wisdom teacher to shine a light on the ways in which you may be sabotaging your own freedom, so you can make sure you are making choices that lead to creating a life that supports and sustains what truly matters to you. In this episode of Feminine Power Time you'll gain wisdom on:

  • The 3 ways we sabotage their own freedom
  • How our unconscious needs to belong and have security lead us to make choices in our careers, relationships, home, lifestyles that cause us to sacrifice what matters most to us
  • Three common freedom stealers - The Golden Handcuffs, The Self Sacrifice Shackles and the Fishbowl Effect
  • How to make sure that the choices you are making are in alignment with what's true for YOUR Path 
  • How to identify specifically what's out of alignment, creating unnecessary pressure and how to free yourself - using a special feminine wisdom process created by Christine  

Make a conscious choice to gain the wisdom, tools and practices to keep you on your path, even if that means stepping outside of conventional wisdom and your comfort zone... And keep yourself out of overwhelm and burnout. 

I originally taped this episode in 2018, and re-taped the intro this year, during what I call "Liberation Weekend" - July 4th in the US. It's a powerful portal to liberate yourself from the unconscious constraints, judgements, expectations, and beliefs limiting and binding you.

May this bring you more awareness and more courage to make choices that create a life and career design that supports, sustains and empowers you to prosper on all levels.

Most of us feel like we don't have the time we need to do what we really want, get what we need or do the things that might not be productive or profitable but are actually the things that feed us the most and that have the potential to catalyze us into the expressions, intentions and dreams we have for ourselves, our work and the world. 

Wisdom Byte: If you are waiting to find the time, you will never find the time. Time is finite. You can't make time - there is no time kitchen. And you can't find more time - time is not lost.

What we need is not more time. What we need is the 'space' to take care of the demands of our current lives AND feed the desires still coming into form AND nourish our hearts and souls and bodies with things that may not be 'productive' or 'profitable' but that sustain us in big ways. 

You are invited to join Christine Arylo for this Feminine Power Time - a POWER PAUSE, taped at the mid-year point, to invoke

  • THE FEMININE POWER OF CREATING SPACE ... which gives you the power to create space for things that may not be urgent or profitable or productive but that matter to you
  • Your internal power to name what it is that you really desire to create space for these next few months with 4 wisdom inquiries ... in your work, in your relationships, for your body and just for yourself 
  • The power of pausing at the mid-year point - the Solstice... this interactive session is like the appetizer to the deeper power pause we take every year to get clear and conscious and intentional about how we focus our life force
  • The ELEVATION projects you want to create space for - that have the power to elevate your presence, self expression in the world  

See you there!
Christine

We have huge misunderstandings of what creativity is, and how relevant and essential it is to every sector of our society, our economy, our wellness and happiness and our families. Creativity is not just about making a painting or a piece of ‘art.’

Some of the greatest thinkers and scientists have also said what the artists and sages have always known - imagination and intuition are more powerful than the intellect. It's our capacity to imagine and tune into a more expanded field of consciousness that inspires us, illuminates possibility for us, and both heals, awakens and empower us.  

Yet, if you look at the over-culture we live in, wow, it's set up to keep us from this primal, innate creative power.

Our schools have cut back on creativity as part of core curriculum, instead they are over-focused on memorizing and accepting conventional thought and scientific proof as the only reality. 

Women’s creativity is often diminished into “arts and crafts”, scrapbooking or a nice “hobby.”

And most people don’t see themselves as artists or artistically talented, because they can't paint or draw in a what is deemed beautiful, so they shy away from being “creative”.

This and more is keeping up from the truth of how creativity lives within each of us. Distancing us from our power and potential to create different realities for ourselves and the world. And keeps us  from potent self-healing techniques that we could be using to release trauma, move through challenging emotions, and navigate these intense times.     

Consider this... wisdom that emerged from this conversation and wise woman tea between myself and Shiloh Sophia McCloud, founder of the Center for Intentional Creativity (and my dear friend of almost 15 years), which we are inviting you to:

"People have mixed up talent and creativity. If you think you are not talented, you think you are not creative. Which is not true. EVERYONE is creative.

Creativity is the natural innate life force that exists in every person and how you chose to create it."

Join us for this special "Wise Woman Tea" with Arylo and Shiloh, to top off our series of Embracing Your Power to Create the World You Wish to Live In. In our wise woman tea episodes I invite a woman who has dedicated her life to living and learning a specific wisdom tradition or lineage, and has founded and brought forth this wisdom in practical ways that can empower us in these intense and changing times.   

In Episode 158 we focus on The Power & Practice of Intentional Creativity for Navigating and Thriving in Our Times we will explore: 

  • What creativity is NOT 
  • Embracing our creative nature and power as creators 
  • STOPPING the rhetoric that we are not "creative"
  • STARTING embracing our creativity as a super power that we all have and that we can use in ALL areas of our lives, professional and personal.
  • The systemic roots of why we get disconnected from our full creative power at a young age
  • Self-expression as essential to our wellness 
  • How we can guide and influence others to stay connected to their creative power, even if the systems don't support it #harmonicdefiance
  • The link between creativity and consciousness, how we think, and how our brains work
  • Using creative process and practice to cause significant breakthroughs individually and collectively


In the episode, Shiloh and I will share and talk about Intentional creative processes and physical practices that give us the power to:

  • AWAKEN our potential and new possibility 
  • HEAL and MOVE THROUGH challenging emotions and times
  • RELEASE trauma from our system
  • CONNECT with our intuition and receive wisdom and guidance
  • CREATE SPACE for contemplating and being in conversation with the Universe and your deeper Self.

Join us for the conversation and the exploration. And then take what you learn and start bringing the practice of intentional creativity into your DAILY life. 

We start the Mid Year Power Pause in June and July - which is an intentional creative process. Feminine Wisdom Way is a community and wisdom school that actively uses our creative power daily to co create the world we wish to live in. 

See you there!

Christine

Wisdom Bytes:

  • The mind can only create what it seen before. But your intuition has the power to expand possibility.  
  • Thinking is the long way to make change.
  • Wellness cannot be achieved through just the mind.
  • Creativity as a practice and a process is a way through to true healing, freeing and new ways of working, living and doing things.

Co-Creation is the practice and path we all have as humans to create the realities we live in - individually and collectively - but few of us were ever educated on HOW we do that. Co-creator. Hmmm. Just read that word a few times. CO CREATOR. CO CREATE. What does that even mean?

I am the co-creator of my reality? 

And, consider this... if you knew how to 'co-create' as a path and practice for how you approach all parts of your life and work, and all the problems you see around you or experience yourself, what possibility and potentiality could that open up for you?

Can you imagine that there are realities you can't even see, yet??

Do you know how to trust the process to unfold? Do you know how to be in active relationship with the process in a way that keeps you expanding into possibility?

This is why we are doing this 3 part series on Embracing Your Power to Create the World You Desire to Live In. To educate, explore, experiment and experience this power we have within us to make change, do things differently, shift this world, stop patterns and habits that keep us and others trapped in suffering.

Embracing your power as a Co Creator, which is an act of both humility and honoring, opens up the potential for us to truly be what the wisdom teachings have always said we could be:

We are the ones who dream reality into being through our imagination and intuition. We are meant to work with the Universe, each other and the earth. And when we do, we co-create a society that reflects wholeness and wellness, and empowers all life to prosper.

When we stop looking out there for the answers, the safety and security, and the ways we should think and believe, we open our hearts and minds to a deeper truth that reflects the soul of the earth & humankind ... which by nature creates  forms and organizes life in ways that create harmony.

Tune into this episode of Feminine Power Time with leadership advisor and social impact leader Christine Arylo: 157:  Be The Co Creator of Your Reality

  • What do I mean by "Co-Creation"?

  • 4 Realms of Co-creative Relationship: yourself, the Universe, the earth, and the others 

  • 4 phases of Sustainable Aligned Co-creation - when you follow these in your individual choices or in teams or organization, instead of creating too much, too fast or making choices that lead to bad outcomes, you create forms and take actions that lead to wellness, for the whole and you.

  • 7 practices for Co-Creating - these are practical things you 'do' in your daily life and in your decision making to be in connection to all four realms and stages of co-creation  

  • What keeps you stuck in limited thinking and reality cutting off your ability to co-create new possibility
  • How do you work with the power of INQUIRY, INTUITION, and RITUAL & RHYTYM to open up possibility, gain clarity and take steps forward?  

As we stand here at this time on the planet, our ability not just to believe but to experience that we have the power within, through our choices and voices, to be the creators of this world, is like a life line for us.

When you practice co creation as how you live, you feel so much more connected... so much more trusting... so much more alive... so less like a victim or the master controller of the universe, and so much more like you are held, guided and empowered to live well, and be part of humankind finding a better more loving way to live.

See you there

Christine

Have you ever looked around at the world, an aspect of society, or the organization you work and felt like WTF !? This is not working for me. This seems crazy? Sometimes we feel empowered to 'do' something about it, and others, we feel overwhelmed, like there's nothing I can do to change this reality?

We have more power than we know. 

As humans, we are 'makers' of culture.

We create the culture by how we grow & change ourselves, how we interact with others, what we choose to 'make' & the choices we make.

Here's a few wisdom bytes about our power to be 'makers' of the cultures we live in, from our own inner culture of self, to our family and tribe, to our teams and organizations and from there society. 

  • We are the makers of culture - our family, our organizations, our teams, our society - through the choices we make in our lives, big and small.
  • Our reality and the world around us is like clay - we have the power to shape it. We don't make the clay, we work with the clay, and like a sculptor or potter, we let it inform us, we engage in a co-creative process with it.
  • We don't force it. We work with it. Or we start over and create a different piece. We have more power than we think, when we focus on where we can have the greatest influence, and choose not to waste our energy on where we don't.
  • We create the culture around us in and in this world by how we grow and change ourselves - how we 'make' and shape ourselves. The 'work' we do within the Self contributes to the evolution of the collective.    

This wisdom is potent and practical, if you know how to apply it and use it. 

Which is why we are doing this 3 part series, diving into 3 realms of where our power lies to do things differently, to be conscious creators of reality and culture and society and our lives. Archetypes we have within us that we can access to be and feel empowered to see where we can make shifts: the Mother, the Maker, & the Co-Creator. 

Tune into this episode of Feminine Power Time with leadership advisor and social impact leader Christine Arylo: 156: Be a Maker of Culture: Embrace Your Power To Create the World You Desire to Live In and explore:

  • What does it mean to be a Maker?
  • What are you 'making' through your choices and through your own inner self expression?
  • How your courage to look within your Self honestly and then do the 'work' to heal and elevate on the inside is creating a better world
  • How to look at what you don't like in the world today or in the cultures around you, and find where that lives in you, and then embrace your power to do things differently
  • How to 'shape' your reality and become more adept at 'shaping' the realities you want to live.  

One of the things I think you will really love after this conversation is starting to see how your choices just in your very own life have the power to shift this world, and the environments around you.

May this session ignite your power of Harmonic Defiance ... to make choices that align for you, even if they are different than those around you, choices that create more HARMONY for you and others, and as a result create a world in more harmony.

We'll end with a super powered way to make this practical in your life today.

See you there

Christine

We have so much power within to create the world we desire to live in, for ourselves, those we influence and our society - but in the current reality, with the current stressors, we face, that can seem so far away or like self help rah rah. When it's anything but.

Knowing where our power is to take the pressure off, create space for ourselves, receive what we need, focus our energy and resources is essential for anyone who wants to make an impact, in a way in which you are sustained do. This is where our feminine power comes in.

In this series, we are building from the energy of the 5-year anniversary podcast Ep 154: Embrace Your Power to Create the World You Desire to Live In, to make this profound possibility and wisdom practical and applicable to you and your life. 

The series will take us into 3 realms of where our power lies to do things differently, to be conscious creators of reality and culture and society and our lives. Archetypes we have within us that we can access to be and feel empowered to see where we can make shifts: the Mother, the Maker, & the Co-Creator. 

In this episode #155 of Feminine Power Time we dive into Valuing the Mother, exploring

  • What is The Mother archetype and energy? All of us can be mothers, even if we choose not to be parents.
  • The distortions in our current over-culture that cause us to undervalue or devalue the Mother, and as a result burnout, not get what we need, and stay stuck in society that requires us to produce more, grow faster, give more and do more, always. 
  • Three aspects of our Mother Power:  To birth. To nurture. To advocate.

I'll take you through these three aspects of Mother Power so you can take the pressure off yourself, give yourself the space and support you need, and shake off the over-culture B.S. that is not serving you.

We'll end with a super powered stand to say NO MORE to what is not supporting you.

See you there

Hello Dear One ... Every May I love to re-listen to and re-share this episode on MOTHER LOVE which I recorded in 2017, and the wisdom still stands... and the message still so needed for us all to hear, contemplate and put into practical action. 

Mother Love is so much more than we think it is.) So many of us are feeling stretched - being called to make changes, expansions, trust. In times like you need more "mother love" - it's so powerful! MOTHER LOVE does not just come from your birth mother. 

And since most of us aren't taught what that is or how to source it, I am replaying this Feminine Power Time. If you've never heard it, tune in. If you have, re-listen this is medicine and a message that will bring clarity, confidence and courage to you at this time....

Next week we will start our three part series on how we can tap into and focus our feminine creative power to birth, make and co create the world we desire to live in. For now, soak in the Mother Love.

Much love to you xoxo Christine 

"THERE IS A GREAT MOTHER LOVE AVAILABLE THAT CAN ACT AS THE SAFE AND SOFT HARBOR YOU NEED TO STAND STRONG + FEEL SUPPORTED. IT WILL HOLD YOU, SOOTHE YOU, AND GIVE YOU UNSTOPPABLE COURAGE."

When you read the words ‘mother love’ you likely go right to thinking about the mother who gave birth to you or the mother who raised you. And while that mother definitely has a role to play in our lives, she cannot be our only source of “mother love.”

Mother love is... a specific kind of love that every human being needs – we don’t outgrow the need for it, although we sadly forget how much we do need it.

Mother love is… the deep, all-embracing, all-accepting, nourishing, nurturing, warm, safe, supportive love that soothes the places inside our hearts that feel scared and lonely.

Mother love is… the strong love that we can fall into when we are stressed, stretched, uncertain, and feeling like we just can’t handle what’s happening in our life.

Sourcing Mother Love is not something most of us were taught how to doIn this Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo: Mother Love: The Feminine Love That Will Hold You Through Transition:

  • Reveal why one mother cannot be our only source of love – and how embracing this can wipe out all kinds of baggage and free you to receive the support, nurturing, courage, acceptance, patience, understanding and compassion
  • Define Mother Love – this is SO much more than the story or situation between you and your birth mother. Even if you had the greatest mother growing up, your need for more Mother Love doesn’t end.
  • See how the lack of Mother Love is often at the root of things like loneliness, feeling like you don’t belong, fear, not feeling like you have enough, are enough, not being cared for, not feeling supported  – these patterns will keep showing up if you don’t get to the root
  • Explore the powerful 3 Sources of Mother Love that are here for all of us - there is SO much of this support here for us beyond what we have been taught exists.
  • Learn simple practices you can do to invite this powerful, potent, feminine love into your heart and life –  including the Great Mother Bath

This book is at it's heart mother love ... first advocating for ourselves and those we love and lead to be sustained, nurtured, cared for, safe, supported ... so then we can create organizations, a society, a culture, a world that reflects that for all people and planet.
