This guided meditation is designed to help you restore balance between your masculine and feminine energy. When I use the terms masculine and feminine, I am not referring to the gender or sex of an individual. I am referring to the energetic duality that exists within all human beings. We all have a masculine or yang energy, and we all have a feminine or yin energy within us.Mother Earth is restoring balance after thousands of years of being masculine energy dominant. Feminine energy is rising rapidly on the planet after being oppressed for thousands of years due to patriarchal programming that has been passed down through generations. Since every human being on this planet has the energetic duality of masculine and feminine within them, we will all be impacted by this shift in collective energy. This was the inspiration for creating this guided meditation, to help people make this energetic transition with as much ease and grace as possible. There is so much untapped human potential when we limit ourselves to one energy based on our social conditioning. It is now time to integrate our dualities so we can embody a more unified state of human consciousness.For humans to live harmoniously, the masculine and feminine energies must reach a state of union. This requires us to let go of outdated programs where we connect with our energy from the self-limiting conditions we may have inherited based on binary gender norms. This guided meditation will assist you in releasing any shame you may be carrying around either masculine or feminine energy. It will also reconnect you to the power within yourself related to each divine energy.If you are stuck and unable to heal or slow down in your life, then you may be suppressing your feminine energy. If you are not actively engaged in your life and feel unmotivated, then you may be suppressing your masculine energy. This guided meditation will help you reconnect to the divine masculine and feminine energy within you so you can become integrated and balanced as nature has intended for you.It's time to let go of the woundedness and step into your most authentic and empowered self.

In this episode I speak with Sex, Love & Relationship Coach, Ginger Jen. Ginger shares her story about being a sex worker/escort and how she moved through the stigma of this work. Ginger gives us the insider scoop about sex work and how we can all learn from healing our own sexual shame and practicing more acceptance. If you are wanting to learn how to connect more authentically with your sexual self and feel more sexually empowered on this journey, this episode is for you!Questions we explored in this episode:What is Ginger's story and how did she get into this work?What does sexual empowerment mean?What does it feel like to be sexually empowered?What do you think causes sexual disempowerment?What can someone do to feel more sexually empowered?How can we help each other become more sexually empowered in relationships? About Today's Guest:Ginger [she/they] has been on a mission for the last 4 years to become someone who helps deeply heal sexuality. From being an escort in Australia working in the industry for other's and then working for themselves. Ginger noticed firstly how much their own sexuality had become more clear and more enjoyable and secondly that there was a mass problem around sex specifically with men trying to be and follow a porn star type of way or on the other side that men felt completely shut off from full intimacy, relating and sex because men were so nervous around any woman that they were with. Ginger's path kept aligning with males who had ADHD/Autism or generally quite shy, so the feeling was to then help uplift those men in intimate situations in order to help them grow confidently. Ginger then went on a mission to learn tantra through workshops and trained in Sex, Love and Relationship coaching with the VITA course by Layla Martin which has now brought Ginger to their mission on helping heal the collective of busy minds around their self love and sexuality.

Are you a sensitive soul who finds it difficult to be with your own feelings?Do you struggle being present with your body because your mind is always so active?Do you want to heal trauma so you can finally find inner peace and happiness? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this guided meditation was created for you. What is embodiment?Embodiment is the alignment of mind and body. Embodiment means becoming whole. To have your mind, body and spirit connected to one another and working together for your highest good. What is trauma?The body stores an adverse emotional experience within itself. When we experience trauma, the cells in our body will carry that emotional experience until we find safety, stillness and presence to allow the emotions to release from our body. Trauma is unprocessed emotional debris that needs to be released if we want to heal. This guided meditation is designed to help you connect back to the body where the emotions can be connected to and released. If you are like most people, you are overconnected to the mind and disconnected from the body. We need connection to both if we want to find inner peace. The mind and body in unison govern important aspects of our nature as sensitives. We need the mind to conceptualize our feelings but it's not the job of the mind to feel them. This is the job of the body. When we assign this responsibility to our mind it leads to intellectualizing our feelings and we don't end up discharging them from our body. This is called rumination, when we intellectualize our feelings and try to make sense of them with our minds. It is unhelpful and causes us suffering. Feelings want to be felt and then they will release, they are merely particles of energy that are trying to point us in the direction of meeting our needs. Emotions are messengers with valuable messages. It is our job to find stillness each day and listen. This is the purpose of this guided meditation. Come on this embodiment journey with me to a place of deep inner healing and peace as we learn to connect to our mind, body and spirit in unity consciousness.

In this episode I speak with Authenticity Coach Lukas Sliz. We talk about how to feel more worthy and whole in the experience you have of yourself. Lukas went from feeling alone in this world and not feeling like he belonged to living his best life through practicing living authentically. Lukas teaches us how to have our own sense of emotional freedom so we can begin to feel at home within ourselves regardless of the external circumstances. Come join us as we deep dive into the fascinating realms of shadow work, inner child healing, emotion regulation, ego and self-acceptance. About Today’s Guest:Lukas helps people heal emotional wounds and create a Home within. At the age of 2 years old, his parents moved with him and his sister from Poland to Germany. As he grew up, he would look for a sense of belonging, even at the expense of his own wellbeing. Yet that sense of Home would only be short lived. He used to search for wholeness and peace of mind in relationships, achievements and travels of the world to find what he once lost. Little did he know, that the Home he was looking for wasn’t a place in the world. That place was always with himself. Home is what he would find within himself.

Inspired to Be Authentic is a podcast where we converse with people who are living their most authentic lives. We get real with our guests and talk openly about how they live with courage to be themselves. We explore barriers they have overcome to be more authentic and aligned to themselves and their purpose.We ponder the question “how much of me can I be?” By asking ourselves this question, we practice giving ourselves permission to be who we are Now, and who we want to become, through vulnerability. Each episode we play a game where the guest randomly chooses a question from my master list of questions which are predetermined by myself and the audience. This is a fun way to dive deeper into ourselves and explore the more intimate sides of ourselves.I am on a mission to deeply understand what gives people the courage to show up exactly as they are without feeling the need to hold back aspects of themselves. Authenticity is the expression of alignment, and the Inspired to Be Authentic podcast helps our audience understand what it takes to become aligned with who we are. Authenticity is about owning who we are so we can attract what we need in our lives to feel fulfilled. The podcast explores barriers to authenticity such as shame, perfectionism, ego, fears, comparison, judgment, self-animosity, low self-worth, etc. The podcast motto's are:“Our vulnerability is our superpower.”“If we own who we are, we will attract what we need.”“Authenticity is the expression of alignment.” “Alignment is when we no longer choose to reject aspects of ourselves and we choose to love them instead. Then we feel safe to show up exactly as we are.”"This Is Me" tip of the episode:Place both hands over your heart and say "This Is Me" and own the energy of who you are exactly as you are in each moment you do it. Whatever energy you find yourself in practice allowance for that and give yourself permission to just be you.
