I was sensing that we could use one of our Wisdom for Staying Centered & Sustained in Intense Times conversations just about now .. there are explorations where we take a step 'between the worlds', open up our intuitive illuminator wise being eyes, remember we have the power of the creatrix within us to create reality for ourselves, those we influence and this world, and tune into the wisdom to give us insight and practices forward.
Our centerpoint for this exploration is : Reactor Emoter - Rooted Responder - Revolutionary Evolutionary, which one are you? How can you work with these 3 energies to move through these times... stay balanced, feel empowered, play your part and care for your wellbeing?
In this episode, I'll share some wisdom perspectives and practices that you can chew on, contemplate and integrate into your reality.
Some of what we'll work with in this episode are:
I will also lead you through a few somatic processes to really feel how you can bring this wisdom into your life now .... so we can support you to stay centered, sustained and connected my friend!
Between now and the next episode, take these perspectives into life, open your wise eyes, and use what resonates to keep your kayak afloat and you above the water.
>>> SHARE this podcast with a friend, and invite them to share what resonated and what you each want to take and bring into your life.
with heart,

Welcome to our exploration and activation of the 8 Feminine Leadership Archetypes over the course of season 10. Today in episode #272 we invite in the energy of the Intuitive Illuminator to support us to cultivate stability & clarity ... recenter when we get the wobbles.... sort the wisdom & truth from the swirl .... see the path ahead ... so we can move daily and in big ways guided by the light of grounded wisdom, open hearts and elevated consciousness.
Illuminate: Your power to see what's happening beyond the surface, tune into the subtle realms, and your full spectrum of embodied intelligence to 'see' the invisible, make connections, illuminate reality, truth, & wisdom, and influence the path ahead.
Educate: Intuitive attunement + the 4 centers of intelligence + spotting & alchemizing interference + the power of gentle progress with focused intention.
A few words from the archetype of "The Intuitive Illuminator:" I see what other's cannot. My intuitive senses are strong. I see the connection between things. I see the possibility beyond the intellect and the mind. I have access to the imaginal realms and the infinite intelligence of the quantum field where possibility lives.
For the full Intuitive Illuminator transmission tune in to this episode.
Liberate: Reveal where the interference of unease or frustration (or other inteference frequency) is muddying up your inner knowing and insight, and your sense of stability ... try a somatic meditation to clear your intuitive channels.
Elevate: Your frequency, capacity to see, respond from clarity not unease, play in the realms of imagination and ability to influence reality.
The Flow
Invitation: INVITE one person to join you in this exploration of the feminine leadership archetypes in season 10. Share the podcast and conversate on what we share and make it real and practical in your life. I give suggestions for Intuitive Illuminator in the podcast.
Looking forward to this journey with you,
Christine

Make this real and practical :
Wise beings know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support us to grow our work, wealth and relationships, and to support our health, and keep us focused on what matters.
Which is why one of my top three pratices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm and stay on the path of sustainable success, impact and wellbeing in the "Power Pause" + why I created the next two episodes for you, which are really more like a mini retreat.
Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times. Equinoxes are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter.
The theme of Sept Equinox is always Harvest. This year, I looked back through our library of Power Pause episodes and pulled out an episode that focuses on the themes of HONOR + RECEIVE + CREATE THE NEXT WHILE LIVING THE NOW - because I feel like these are the energies and equations that will most support us in this cycle.
Tune into this Power Pause and learn some about:
I will lead us through a 3 inquiry process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL and register in your body, brain and being:
See you there!

HONORING Wisdom Inquires from Power Pause
Write these out and contemplate them or conversate with a freind. HONOR WHAT...
I'm over the moon excited to be unveiling and sharing the 8 Feminine Leadership Archetypes with you in this 10th season as a way for 'how' we can move through these transformational times.
These archetypes are a reflection of what happens when we bring feminine presence into leadership, and value it. They can help us to stay clear and centered + strong in playing our part + empowered to wisely create realities that are rooted in wholeness, sustainability, freedom, harmony, love, connection + possibility... even if the mainstream world is reflecting a different reality.
I developed the Feminine Leadership Archetype model and system in 2018, based on 15 years of in depth study in feminine archetypal energy that spans across cultures, the energy is planetary. These leadership archetypes describe feminine presence and power - which is often not valued, compensated or even acknowleged within the systems we work, live and operate in. Although it is the energy that often holds everything together. It's the invisible things people rely on us for. It's what creates environments and cultures that foster people's growth, creativity and connectivity.
The archetypes give us language, symbol, metaphor, image and a sense of the energy within us we can access and apply. Coupled with traditional more masculine leadership energy, we then can create and model systems and power that reflect balanced leadership.
Here's what we will explore in episode #271:
Illuminate: How we can embrace our own archetypal energy in a way that creates wholeness and harmony and empowers us to be co-creators of the realities we desire to see manifest.
Educate: What are the Feminine Leaderships Archetypes and how we can apply these to our own lives, and then with the people, systems and causes we influences.
A few words from our first archetype "The Creatrix:" I birth new worlds … I hold the possibility of future generations in my hand, for who i care deeply and consciously, everything I need to create is within me, I am not here to feed the machine. I create freedom, love, harmony through the forms I midwife into being …
For the full Creatrix transmission tune in to this episode.
Liberate: 6 systemic distortions that disconnect us from our raw creative power
Elevate: 4 wisdom Inquiries to direct your creative life force forward.
For the Wisdom Inquiries share - posted on website here.

Invitation: INVITE one person to join you in this exploration of the feminine leadership archetypes in season 10! Share the podcast and conversate on what we share and make it real and practical in your life.
Looking forward to this journey with you,

Ways to Connect:
Today we begin our 10th season and 10th year. This episode will get us all centered in our stake - focus and intention - of what we are creating and why. To root us firmly in our power to co-create new realities on this planet now, at this time. In the ways we are uniquely designed to do so ... in the ecosystems we have influence over (vs. trying to do it all or feeling like we don't have the power to do anything).
Our stakes for this season are:
Re-Imaginging the way we and the world work, when the feminine leads.
(from the inside out)
Embracing the power, wisdom & influence of our personal leadership to co-create a better, brighter world for ourselves + those we touch + generations to come, through our voices, choices & presence within the "ecosystems" we live, lead and love.
We focus on what we can influence: Focusing on the ecosystems we have the power and influence within - ourselves, our 1:1 relationships, our smaller systems like our teams / families --->> which then influences the larger organizations we work in, communities we participate and live in (local, social and global) ---> which then shifts and creates the culture, society and consciousness on the planet.
We remember and embrace: All non-natural systems on the planet were created by humans which means we as humans (which you and I are) have the power to create realities, systems, ways of being, working, relating, living, succeeding, etc... that support all people and planet to thrive and prosper for now and for generations to come.
Our 10th season is called: Fierce Grace, which is the simplest way I can express what balanced, whole leadership and embodied power looks and feels like. Fierce Grace is the integrated power and presence that lives within our human heart. When we can access this full range of power and presence, we embody an essence that can shift a room or situation just by our presence. We are a force for change and elevation, because we are deeply rooted in ourselves, our essence, our innate wisdom and our balance, rooted truth.
We will use 4 of the 6 realms of Elevated Leadership to create a structure for us:
I'll share with you the 8 Feminine Leadership Archetypes on the 8 'turns of the year' - solstices, equinoxes and the cross quarter points. We'll start with the archetype of the CREATRIX in our first full episode, #271. And then we'll see what else flows in along the way.
My intention is that Feminine Power Time will continue to be an 'oasis' for illumination, liberation and elevation + a Field for co-creators like you ...a place to ...
My inivitation and request is that you tune into this episode to get tuned into this container we are co-creating ... and then INVITE one person to join you in this exploration! Share this first podcast + the next with them, and conversate on what we share and make it real and practical in your life.
Looking forward to this journey with you, fellow co-creator and elevator!

Are you clearing your emotional and energetic fields - consistently? What do you do when you get "gooped" by the world, a person, the news, the physical and virtual environments you find yourself in, or even by your own emotional triggers?
"Gooped" is my partner Noah and my term for what happens to us when we get emotionally, mentally, energetically, and physically weighed down, swirled up, affected by external forces.
In the times we live in, it's really wise to ask yourself: What am I doing to keep my energy clear?Are my energetic and emotional boundaries strong? How do I know when they are weak? And how do I strengthen them.
For this conversation, I brought on Noah Martin, my partner in life, love and business because he's super wise in these realms we will explore:
Consider this: This energetic, emotional and mental "gooping" is often invisible to our eyes - we don't see it, but DO we feel it? But if you don't know the signs that you've been de-harmonized or 'affected' with interference, you get pulled down and swirled around and cannot operate as your wisest and most radiant self. Once you know the signs and know what to do to recenter, you gain power to stay clear and rooted even in the intensity.
Clearing your emotional and energetic fields is a must in our world today; just like you brush your teeth and get in your daily steps. On today’s podcast, (pulled from our Wisdom Library), we’ll explore how to care for your emotional and energetic bodies by looking at:
Get your practitioners, practices, and people in place that will keep you at a high frequency. Build these into your daily, weekly, and monthly rhythm to support your radiance.
Between now and the next episode, we invite you to contemplate the inquiry: What Do I Do When I Get Gooped? Awareness is the first step to making a shift, and by the end of this episode you will have the tools to bring awareness to what tends to goop you up. You’ll also receive practices and resources to support you in clearing your emotional and energetic fields so that you can Stay Light. Join us!

This year I was really feeling we could all use a boost of heart power to clear out the interference - swirling within us and around us - and break our consciousness & creativity free, so we can feel possibility as reality, so much so that it gives us momentum to fuel and focus us forward.
Consider this: We as humans are evolving. What's showing up as struggle in our reality, and through the inteference externally and internally, are catalysts we can use to heal, strengthen and elevate ourselves and the parts of world and reality we influence. Not by bypassing, but by fiercely standing in the power of the heart, together.
Here's the 3 parts we'll explore and bring into your life now in practical ways to

INVITATION NQUIRIES
INTERFERENCE INQUIRES + 7 Kinds of Internal Interference - get on Christine's website in her Wisdom LIbrary here. https://christinearylo.com/2025/07/internal-interference/
You and I have the super power to consciously choose to catalyze ourselves vs. wait to be catalyzed big “Universal 2x4s” or external forces beyond our control in the 'banana world.'
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…
In this episode, we explore the "feminine super power" of Catalyze: the power to use the situations that life brings you as liberators and elevators that lift YOU & OTHERS 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 take a self-empowered step into your soul's evolution, liberating yourself to a more full, true, empowered expression.
Consider this: When you shift the situation that’s challenging you from something happening to you into something happening through you or for you, you step into your power to meet and work with whatever is showing up...as a process and path to greater healing, freedom and expression.
This is practical wisdom in action - to apply to whatever is catalyzing in your life. We'll dive into:
Together, we’ll reveal and illuminate:
(this episode was originally recorded in July 2024 as part of the Season of Light and is part of the Feminine Power Time liviing wisdom library - we checked in out this summer because we felt we could this wisdom again)
Between now and the next episode, Christine and Jennifer invite you to contemplate the inquiry: What is calling you to be catalyzed?
Bonus invitation: SHARE this podcast with a friend and share with each other using the 4 inquiries above.
See you there!

Anger and grief are good human emotions. They have the potential to open up so much for us – individually and collectively – which can lead to healing, breaking down barriers, and 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.
This episode was originally released in July 2024 as part of our nine-part summer series, Stay Light, hosted by Christine Arylo & Jennifer Alexandar. We pulled it out of our Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library as part of our 4-part July 2025 series this year. Wisdom still so relevant for these times.
We explore perspectives and practices around dealing with the kind of rage and grief that comes from our wounds or the wounds of others, and how to do it differently in ways that lead to wholeness, including how we can:
Between now and the next episode, we invite you to contemplate the two-part inquiry: What anger or grief am I holding on to? Where do I feel it in my body?

For all the co creators, change makers, re-imaginers, global citizens on planet earth, and those who choose to be part of creating a brighter world and better ways of living & being we know deep down are possible... this is for you.
We've been told "You are the ones you've been waiting for." There is no person here to 'save' us. Who we are and how we live is how we elevate reality - for ourselves, those we care for and guide, and this planet. This is Personal Leadership. And it's essential, and challenging.
So ... the question is ... how the heck do we make our way through the chaos, stay focused, keep the faith and be wise about where we focus our energy and resources ... and also keep our hearts, spirits and creative life force alive and strong in the months and years to come where so much seems out of our control?
Consider this: There is a path ... we just can't see it with our everyday eyes, we need our 'wise eyes' which can see in the dark of the unknown or see through the confusion of chaos ... can hear deeper guidance in stories, myths and patterns ... can discern what's aligned by contemplating on inquiries that lead to insight vs. grasping for answers to questions. Our internal imaginal cells are programmed to expand, evolve and focus us in the now and next. But we need intentional space outside of the banana world to 'do' this.
Which is why today in episode #2 in the Next Phase On Purpose series - Ep 269: Playing Your Part on our Planet Now, we will dive into and explore:
I invite you to use this conversation, exploration and creation to turn off the chatter and tune into your deeper wisdom and intuition to navigate and co-create your next phase in the now.
with heart,
Christine
p.s. Share + forward this episode with a friend + share the insights from the inquiries. Reflect what you hear from each other. Be each others wisdom council as you create the next while living the now.

When we find ourselves in a time of intensity over extended periods of time, wisdom says ... it's wise (and essential) to pause and consider what we need to cultivate, replenish and retain our life force (our energy) and radiance (our light).
I'm suggesting that now is such a time ... not to pull the covers over our heads, or think one vacation will wipe away the tiredness ... but also not to keep pushing forward believing there is some magic moment all will be well or our work will be done. But instead ... we choose to stay aware and awake to what's happening in our world, while at the same time pulling our focus into our own personal ecosystem and what we need to replenish, now.
Like a dusty, tired car that has been on a long journey... it actually needs more than just gas to fill up... it needs a wash, a vacum, likely some air freshner and a reprieve .... so do we.
So here's my question... what do you need in the next several weeks or months (this summer/winter season or next 40 days) to replenish your radiance and life force ... on all 4 realms... mind, body, heart and spirit?
AND... what do you need to give yourself permission to take the time and space, to allocate the resources, and to pull back to 70% on some things, so you have that 30% to focus on what cultivates deeper reserves of energy. So you have the inner resources to create what's next - for yourself, those you guide and what matters to you in this world.
This episode #268: Permission to Replenish Your Radiance, is an intentional creative process + a full permission slip to 'do' what replenishes and lifts your spirit ... nourishes and fills your heart... clears and inspires your mind ... revitalizes and soothes your body... in the next time span of your choosing.
Consider this: When we consciously cultivate our lifeforce and radiance, we create longevity of wellbeing + the ability to dance through intensity, as a paradox and path vs. a polarity and problem to fix.
Then, instead of just spending that radiance, energy and light as soon as we fill up enough ... we choose to 'condense' it...let it stir and stew and gather up power and aliveness ... choosing to spend some not all ... so come the next season, we have the energy to rise and harvest, to create.
Tune in. Take a breath. Take a beat.
When we root into our radiance and what is real, our path and purpose naturally unfold. And we have the energy to meet the moment and play our parts, together.
with heart,
Christine
p.s. Share + forward this episode with a friend + Be permission slips for each other to stay committed to making the choices that replenish your energy and life force this next cycle.

"If we don't actively dream our dream, we are being dreamt" - Andean Wisdom, Marcela Lobos
Since our lives are micros of the macro, I think it's safe to say that most of us are going through transformations ... being called to elevate in our next expression and evolution ... shedding skins / exoskeletons / phoenix feathers / old parts, roles & constructs ... likely it's already happening ... but are we tuning in and REALLY listening ... and do we have the inquires that lead us to the essence of what we desire to create, and what is on our design to do/live/be? So instead of being trapped, we create with life, from heart and soul.
In this episode #1 in the Next Phase, On Purpose series - Ep 267: Becoming Something New - we will make sure you: have space + inquiries to shed light, gain insight and be able to articulate what this next phase (however long that is for you) is about. With this wisdom you gain a compass for clarity to make decisions, even in choppy, shifting waters.
Consider this: You are becoming something new ... it's happening, even if you can't see it, you can feel it ... so ask yourself... How can I actively dream and design my desired now reality and future reality, rather than being passively 'dreamt' by external circumstances?
Here's the 3 inquiries we dove into to bring insight to what you are choosing to dream and co-create forward.
There is so much power in proactively choosing to release outdated beliefs and habits that we don't need in the next cycle .... to preserve valuable aspects that still have relevancy and life... and create new opportunities and relationships to support us to evolve.
I invite you to use this conversation and the 3 realms of inquiry as a practice of active dreaming and co-creation. Turn off the chatter and tune into your deeper wisdom and intuition to navigate and co-create your next phase in the now.
with heart,
Christine

As co-creators one of our roles is to understand that the current cultures, societies and systems are human created. Which means you and I - since we are human - have the capacity and responsibility - to embody the audacity to re-imagine how we and this world works. Now. Even if it appears we have little power to 'do' anything ... as Dorothy from Wizard of Oz realized after seeking wisdom and power outside herself: "The power was within me all along."
One way we 'do' this to flex our "re-imagining muscles" through conversating and imaging possibilityinto reality. Today I'm inviting us to point our collective energy towards one thing we already know about what a healthy, prospering, compassionate culture looks like.
Imagine this: We live in a world who actively engages with and values the 'elders' of the society. People who have lived long enough in a conscious way on this planet to embody wisdom through lived experienced...Good humans who share what they've learned for the evolution and wellbeing of humanity, the planet and all life on it.
In this "Tea with an Elder" episode, I invited Pele Rouge Chadima, co-founder of the Center for Timeless Earth Wisdom, (and one of my primary wisdom teachers for two decades) to discuss Timeless Earth Wisdom and its relevance to current times ... including: how we can use the wisdom of "the natural laws" for navigating and guiding our way through.
Pele has in many ways been a student of earth wisdom and feminine power since she was born (she'll share about this) and has also lived the earth wisdom path for near 50 years, gifted with the "medicine" from her teachers within a long line of indigenous wisdom.
Here's some of the wisdom that emerged through our conversation ...
I re-listened to the conversation myself as part of my morning practice, and it was like calm balm to my heart and a radiance boost for my spirit ... I invite you to join us and receive the wisdom and the energy of knowing we are co-creating with life.
with heart,
Christine

In changing times, we need wisdom, insight, tools and practices to what I call "stay harmonized" - aka centered, sustained, empowered, clear, connected, calm, radiant, rooted on the inside no matter what chaos is happening on the outside.
In this episode, Harmonized: Staying Centered & Empowered in a Chaotic World, I'll take us through some key inquiries, wisdom teachings and practices you can incorporate into your daily life.
If we can be like a strong tree with deep roots, strong trunk and branches fed by the light, we can sway with the shift vs. get swept into or blown down by the swirl.
Chaos needs our human fear, emotional commotion, righteousness, blame and seperation energy to thrive. If we stop feeding the chaos, it will loose it's power and more people will start to see what is real vs. reacting from the wound. If we stay connected, we are so much more likely to stay centered and feel empowered.
My invitation is to use what we explore and ...
Here are the 4 points - and inquiries you can use daily and in the moments you get affected by the chaos - I'll lead us through:
See you there!

Join us for this Feminine Power Time, Embracing Life's Jacket : 5 Inquiries to Find Clarity & Courage in Choppy Waters - one of the four Power Pauses we do each year, this one focused on the energy of Equinox, Harmonizing.
Taking a Power Pause quarterly is one of the best practices for decreasing anxiety, increasing clarity, receiving guidance and gaining courage. When we pause at near the equinoxes and solstices, our internal rhythm aligns with the natural rhythm... we gain clarity on how to focus in the coming months + we take a stand to ensure you have the support and structure you need to hold you.
Power pauses are a personal-leadership best practice, and a wise way to run your business, organization and team. Also must if you want to stay centered, sustained and sane in our current world.
Every year I hold power pauses at this 4 key shifting points, the equinoxes and the solstices, March, June, Sept and Dec - within the Feminine Wisdom Way Collective, and for leaders of teams, companies and organizations in which we do "Cyclical Strategic Planning."
While the structure of each Equinox power pause is the same, every year we are different and every year the world is different. So I change up the flavor and focus based on what's needed.
This year, I felt compelled to share with you a series of 3 inquiries shared with me by one of my long-time mentors - Pele Rouge Chadima co-founder of Timeless Earth Wisdom. Plus 2 sustainable success and wellbeing inquiries we ask every year at this time.
The wisdom and inquiries have def been a life jacket for staying above the choppy waters of chaos, finding my way back to center when I fall off my 'life raft," and answering the call to what's taking me into bigger waters.
It all centers around "Trusting Life" which is different than "trusting the Universe" .. in subtle but pretty profound ways - both are needed.
See you there,
Christine
p.s. SHARE THIS POWER PAUSE WITH A FRIEND ... go through the inquiries together and then this year become re-harmonizers for each other when you get the wobbles or can't seem to find your centered truth.

In the evolutionary, changing times we live in, we need full access to our "Wise Eyes" more than ever - they give us access to stabilization, co-creation and elevation. They work beyond the 5 senses and our limited mental mind. And they require our attention to expand, evolve and strengthen.
In this episode we: Dive into Intuition + Insight ... two of the four parts of our full spectrum of intelligence ... drop into meditation that clears and connects you with your centers of intelligence ... explore how you can apply this power to your personal experience now to stabilize internally, and open up more of your innate power to see, sense, feel, know, trust and co-create.
Intuition and insight are like internal peace and empowerment medicine for the heart, body, mind and soul.
When we choose to engage with our full spectrum of intelligence, grounded in wholeness, we stop looking outside for certainity, we start seeing things we were blind to, and we start feeling the Presence within us that guides us forward, keeps our unsure parts calm, and ensures we make choices that bring us through any threshold crossing or change, or crazy banana world happenings.
Some of what we wil explore together.
About the Genuine Power series - we are giving language to genuine power (which is invisible + by it's nature creates harmony) ... calling our distorted power (so we can choose not to give our lifeforce to it) ... and teaching models and sharing practices for how access these natural powers and apply them in healthy, real ways that empower us to navigate & stabilize in the now, while we co-create the new.
See you there!

Compassion is one of the most powerful energies we have as leaders of our own lives as well as in our teams, families, organizations, communities, projects and the society we co-create.
But compassion is also one of those things that can feel so vast that we don’t know quite how to employ it – especially in realms like business, our work projects, or in situations that trigger our own defense mechanisms and sense of safety.
One of my super powers is taking big, vast concepts like compassion and breaking them down so we can practically access and use this power in ways that elevate and influence the fields of interaction we find ourselves — within ourselves, with others, the world or a situation we find ourselves in.
Between 2010-2015 I did a deep dive into the “energy” of compassion – to understand it and break it down into what I call the 8 Facets of Compassion. I’ve been practicing and teaching these 8 facets ever since, not as a perfection to live up to, but as a practice and a strategy to come home to.
As I look around at the tools, perspectives, practices that can give us super power NOW to survive, stabilize, and elevate ourselves, and the people, projects, and systems we lead, love and influence, COMPASSION is at the top of the list.
This episode is a little longer because compassion requires us to slow down :) breath :) and get into our bodies and hearts :) Here's some of what we will explore together:
See you there!

Last Feminine Power Time we talked about the "meta" and "collective" - what the themes, energy and patterns are in the larger field as we go into 2025. This gives us wisdom for how to move through this year.
Today, we turn to the "personal" - what are the themes, awarenesses, perspectives and ways of looking at our lives and our choices within them. So we can walk through 2025 centered, sustained, focused on what matters, using this catalytic time for our good and the good of all. Without burning out, running back to normal or missing the possibility.
Tune in for this year’s Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead, 2025, Part Two. Keeping Peace in Our Cells
I'll share with you a series of themed wisdom and inquiries + practices that I'm applying myself and using with all the leaders and communities I work with.
I will also take you through some embodied integration of the wisdom, so it really lands in your body, being and brain.
Here are some of the Wisdom Pearls you can put in your pocket to guide your choices now and in the months to come - use these proactively + also in the moments when you get the internal wobbles, or the external world or circumstances threaten to pull you into the swirl.

See you there!

At the start of every lunar new year or about three weeks into the calendar year, I tune in to this inquiry "What is the wisdom that can guide us forward into the next year cycle?" First I we look at the "meta/macrocosm" bigger cycles and patterns happening that we are all a part of. Then we zone in to the "personal/microcosm" to discern how we set ourselves up with the support, structure, and strategies ... this is where our personal power and leadership lives.
In this episode, we dive into the macro energies - which are bigger than ever this year. Which is why we are going to lean into of the best wisdom tools and ancient science modalities I know to navigate changing times and the unknown - Evolutionary Astrology.
To gain some insight on: What does this all mean? How do we be?
The macro energies are invisible to our naked eye, but if we have access to langauge for the invisible, and open up our perception to our higher mind and innate knowing, we start to see the bigger patterns at play.
So instead of being whipped around by the meta energies, we gain the insight and power to work with them.
Evolutionary astrology can help us make sense of what's unfolding, find our place in these larger cycles of time, and gain some sanity, clarity and calm to keep us centered for whatever comes.... and most importantly remember how to utllize our creative power, our unique path and our super powers to enjoy the waves of transformation, even if they make us a little sea sick at times:)
I invited a dear friend, teacher, and evolutionary astrologer Shannon Lei Gill, to bring her depth of wisdom on this system that is definitely a game elevator for us in these times.
I invite you to:
See you there!

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head.
Wisdom teaches us to use the practice of "inquiry" to consider the path before moving into action... which results in more easeful effort, sustainable success + fluid efficiency (plus keeps us light, which we need during challenging times, to keep us sustained.)
Wisdom requires us to slow down, to hear the insights and guidance. So we practice the "Slow Start Our Year" and intentionally give ourselves space to hear our deeper truth and wisdom.
If we want to access Wisdom vs. just more mental ideas, we need to FEEL not THINK our way forward.
CONSIDER THIS: Your mind can only create what it's done or seen before. If we want things to be different, we have to go deeper - into our hearts, bodies, and "subtle energy" realms.
Which also means we also need something to 'do' -- we can't just sit around and wait for insight to drop in, LOL.
Every January I pull a small set of potent inquiries from the Emerge Visioning process that are like portals into a more expansive possibility, higher intelligence, and guidance. This morning I combed through the inquiries in the Emerge Journal an pulled 5 to get you started visioning, intention setting & focusing for the year to come.
I will walk you through Wisdom inquiries in the podcast + they are posted on my wisdom blog here.
See you there!
Christine
>>p.s. BE AN ELEVATOR, SHARE THIS PODCAST WITH ONE PERSON + then conversate together-- Just share, or dare create connection by 'doing' the inquiries together.
