One Woke Mama with Claire Obeid
A conversation on awakening, soul technology and the science of consciousness When Crystal Cassidy entered my orbit, I was instantly intrigued. Her origin story, her evolution into a spiritual scientist, and the way she weaves together the realms of biotech innovation and deep mystical practice—it's nothing short of captivating. Crystal's journey offers a unique lens on awakening. Beginning with meditation at age 12 while training as a martial artist, her path took a profound turn following a near-death experience that forever shifted her understanding of consciousness. Today, as a Reiki Master, Kundalini Yoga instructor, and the founder of SoulPod, she stands at the frontier of science-meets-spirit—bridging ancient wisdom with modern innovation. Together, we dove deep into the intersections of awakening, embodiment, healing, and how this New Earth we're co-creating is being shaped by both mysticism and science. This was a conversation that left me lit up—thought-provoking, expansive, and rich with insight.

In this revealing episode, I take you on a journey through time—both in my business evolution and my personal past life awakenings. I share the behind-the-scenes development of my latest offering, the Qadisha Initiation, a sacred program inspired by the ancient Aramaic term for “Holy Woman.” This initiation is a soul call for those ready to release deep-seated wounds, reclaim their power, and step into embodied healing. Beyond these business shifts, I dive into a deeper conversation—how past lives shape our present reality. I share intimate experiences of uncovering past life imprints that have influenced my gifts, relationships, fears, and soul lessons. From lifetimes as a priestess and healer to past incarnations carrying wounds of persecution, I reveal how integrating these past-life memories has been pivotal in my own healing journey. Show Notes: ✨ The Qadisha Initiation: Honoring the lineage of Holy Women and reclaiming their wisdom in modern times ✨ How past lives influence our gifts, soul lessons, and current challenges ✨ The karmic roots of my fear of driving—how past life trauma creates present-day blocks ✨ Soul contracts and the deeper meaning behind relationships that trigger us ✨ Why some past lives are deeply humbling rather than glamorous, and how they hold powerful lessons ✨ The role of past life healing in clearing energetic imprints and unlocking personal transformation ✨ How my mentor, Julia Byrne, helped me identify and heal past life wounds affecting my psychic abilities ✨ The intersection of past life memories and spiritual awakening—learning to trust and embody my gifts This episode is for anyone who has ever felt an inexplicable pull toward certain places, people, or experiences—or sensed fears and limitations that seem to have no logical root. If you're ready to explore your own past life connections and step into the fullness of your soul's evolution, tune in now.
In this episode, we're honored to chat with Dr. Bradley Nelson, the creator of The Emotion Code—a powerful healing system that has helped thousands release trapped emotions and reclaim health, vitality, and joy. This conversation is both inspiring and affirming, reminding us that we are energy and Spirit. That God—and our subconscious—are always working to support our healing and transformation. Dr. Brad's journey is remarkable. Through his studies in ancient medicine, psychology, and quantum physics, combined with his deep spiritual practice, he discovered that unprocessed emotions are at the root of many physical and emotional issues. “The body is energy, and emotions are energy too. When negative emotions become trapped, they block the body's self-healing system. These trapped emotions can be like tumors—at best, they hinder healing; at worst, they create disease.” Dr. Brad developed a simple yet powerful method to identify and release these trapped emotions, tapping into the subconscious mind's innate wisdom. Using energy principles, electro-magnetic fields, and the Governing Meridian, this process is so accessible that even a child can do it. A key part of The Emotion Code is clearing the Heart-Wall™—emotional energies that build up around the heart, blocking love and success. This discovery has been called “the most important breakthrough in energy medicine.” With profound success, Dr. Brad's work has reached thousands worldwide. Feeling called to empower others, he began teaching seminars in 1998. Today, he is the CEO of Discover Healing, a global holistic education platform certifying practitioners in The Emotion Code and The Body Code. Dr. Brad and his wife, Jean, have been married for over 40 years, have eight children and six grandchildren, and live in St. George, Utah. Connect with Dr Bradley Nelson: https://discoverhealing.com

Episode 155 - The 6 things I wish for you in 2025 I have been percolating - as I do - on this for some time now. Perhaps since pre-Christmas 2024. Much of what I share in this solo-cast is inspired by the thousands of private client sessions and healings I've held over the last 14 years in this work. These 6 wishes for you (there are of course many more I would wish for you) are often topics that come up repeatedly in client sessions. There might just be one or two that really stand out for you. If you feel you need more guidance or insight please don't hesitate to reach out. Instagram or via email is perfect. I would love to know how all of this lands for you. In this episode I unpack the 6 things I wish for you in 2025: You discover what it feels like to be embodied. That as a feminine core being your remember that your power is in your womb. That you honour and pay attention to your energy being and your energetic health. That you know that healing is returning to your wholeness - and that you know it is not a linear journey. That you live from the truth that you are always co-creating your life. That you always lead with self compassion and clear boundaries.

Words hold power, wisdom and the magic of sound frequency to manifest, heal and awaken. Words carry weight and meaning. There are some words that hold a particular vibration that when say/recite/chant them we get to plug into that particular frequency. Especially words that have been uttered thousands upon thousands of times with the highest of intentions. We plug right into that frequency when we also harness the word. Like all good Catholic girls, I can effortlessly recite the Hail Mary and the Lords Prayer in English. These are words impossible to forget and ones I used to automatically rattle off in times of need in a someway disconnected and desperate way. Through my own Priestess Pilgrimage within The Magdalene Lineage I was gifted the Hail Mary and Lord's Prayer in Aramaic and the true translation. The Language of Mary Magdalane and Yeshua. The original language that Yeshua would have spoken when he first shared The Lord's Prayer. It's through these high vibrational words and prayers that I have accessed deep nourishment, healing and holding. I've come to embody the light of these words instead of simply reciting them robotically. It's through this journey with the Aramaic Magdalene Rosary that I've been reflecting upon the power of words and the frequency they hold. A frequency that acts as an activator, awakening something within us that we are ready to embody and live from. When we are intentional with words we speak and think, chat and prayer, we then have access to powerful codes of healing and even Ancient Wisdom that is then awakened within us. We come to feel so much more powerful and sovereign. It is is a homecoming. A light infused, frequency raising practice harnessing sacred words and prayers with sacred intention that feels equally miraculous and delightfully grounding. Show Notes: Venus and The Rose is a 3hr Virtual Prayer Circle where we will take you on a journey into devotion, gratitude, intention and worship via these Ancient prayers in the feminine language of Aramaic - said to be the Light Language of the Angels. The rosary is a tool - like all tools it's how and why we use them that matters. Venus and The Rose: Magdalene Rosary Prayer Circle is on May 29th at 10am AEST. Early bird ends May 25th. The Elemental Womb: Magdalene Womb Yoga Class is on this friday evening. May 19th at 6pm. Attend locally, here on the coast or virtually. This will be an monthly offering.

In this week's episode I briefly dive into what is a very huge component of the healing work I do with my client's. The core beliefs of 'I am not good enough' and 'I am not worthy' unfortunately feature in 90% of my client sessions. So many of us live from these beliefs. These beliefs that are not our truth, and whilst we know that this isn't our truth, we still can't help by enact and behave as if they are. There is a disconnect between our head - which understands this can't be true - and our heart, soma, energetic experience that unfortunately is governed by this insidious and weed-like belief systems. They infiltrate all areas of our life - we act as if we truly aren't worthy or good enough. It's heart-breaking to see how powerful these beliefs can be, especially as their inception point often began in early childhood or even pre-conception, through family genetics or past lives. It runs deep. I share with you the way I try and help my client's unpack and unpick these beliefs; how we spiral from the top down before entering any memories or traumas. And I also share with you my favourite point in the healing journey- one filled with so much lightness, joy and laughter. Upcoming events - Tickets are still available for The Awakened Womb - Central Coast - April 1st.
When you awaken the womb, you cultivate an unbreakable bond with Gaia—noticing how the first autumn leaves spiral through the air or sensing the communication between trees. There is a cosmic quality to Mother Earth. She is, after all, a Celestial body. When you awaken the womb, you activate your inner serpent, your Kundalini. She will create with what is present and make herself known in your reality. Your life force energy will amplify as the fullness of your being comes online. When you awaken the womb, you become aware of what you are holding - the old stories, programs and beliefs passed down to you or that you have soaked up from the collective consciousness. And in that awareness, you finally get to choose to purify, cleanse and reconnect to a new paradigm. When you awaken the womb, you become plugged into the living pulse of the divine feminine. Returning to a womb-based, cyclical way of living - centred on the wisdom of eros, beauty, and aliveness. When you awaken the womb, you enter a timeless, utterly sacred and holy space—the keeper and cradle of life, magic and potential. And you get to access that medicine. When you awaken the womb, you dissolve the separation between life, death and rebirth. Just like the serpent who catches her tail, spinning and creating an energy vortex (the ouroboros), you will become familiar with and feel safe within this never-ending cycle—embracing our journey of renewal. When you awaken the womb, you come to reclaim the power of the holy feminine cosmic womb and the Mother Essence. You place the Mother back on her rightful thrown alongside and working in harmony with the Divine Masculine. Two forces - the Lunar and the Solar energies - merged in divine union. When you awaken the womb, you enter the Mystery School of the Rose Lineage and Venus Codes of unconditional love, beauty and grace, sacred service and wild expansion, just as the ancient Priestesses of Light once did. You open to the light and shadow of our Divinely Human experience and thread light through the tapestry of life. When you awaken the womb, you live a creative-centred life, with your sacral and womb space as the guiding light. Your intuition and psychic powers switch on as your womb heart becomes the internal navigation system you live by. When you awaken the womb, you return home.

This episode is most definitely less of an interview and more of a transmission as I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Sarah Jane Perman. She is a mother, a facilitator of the embodied feminine. She holds powerful soul journeys on sacred lands and curates online programs for women and mothers from The Alchemical Womb to Mother work, mentorships, doula support to rewilding the mother and much more. In this episode, I asked Sarah to share her story, and what unfolded was a beautiful transmission of truth telling and deep reflection. A circling inward as Sarah navigates life, motherhood, womanhood and the season she is in. Sarah Shares her story - a life well travelled full of adventure and deep work. We also dive into where Sarah's heart lives right now and that is with mother's and resourcing them properly. We look at motherhood, the mother current and the transmission of The Mother Priestess Sarah shares more on The Alchemical Womb and Rewilding the mother - two of her many offerings and programs. Allow yourself to drink from this wisdom stream and soak in the magic and medicine underneath Sarah's words. You can feel her essence and her depth - it was such an honour to receive them and share them with you all.

I've noticed, particularly over the last year and mostly here online, a lack of interest in sharing my story/ my struggles/my learnings, or my growth. Essentially all the ways I fixed myself or everything I'm processing or feeling. Looking back, I have become less opinionated over the last few years. Of course, I still have musings, thoughts, and considered ideas and opinions. Still, I no longer have the urge and the drive to share my views, participate in conversations, or get into arguments just to prove a point or show somebody another way. I think the very core of this is ACCEPTANCE. I simply accept that human to human, we are all different and have different thoughts, feelings, and opinions. It's not my place to push my opinion or my desire, or my way of thinking onto somebody else These are all ways in which I've previously attempted to embody authority or be the "teacher" that I think you might need. The irony isn't lost on me that I'm doing just that - sharing about "me", but stay with me. Let me unpack this with you. As a guide/space holder and teacher, I know that one of the most potent ways I deliver my version of wisdom is through storytelling and sharing my embodied experiences and learnings. However… truthfully… 1. It feels wobbly to share anything before I've moved through it and embodied the wisdom. 2. It feels condescending and void of humility to place myself above anyone else through the examples of my life, for example, "this was me, this is where I was, I did this, and now I'm an expert/better/healed." It feels false because I am ALWAYS expanding and contracting. 3. It feels disrespectful in some way - you are intelligent, heart-led humans, and who am I to perpetuate the idea that you aren't enough/do enough? You are discerning, and you know what you need. Here's where it gets blurry for me and where there is discord. I DO embody the essence of "teacher", "space holder", "guide" "Practitioner". And I love these Sacred Archetypes that feel deeply aligned. I AM here to serve and to be a way shower of sorts I LOVE being part of your world and your journey home to wholeness… I'm forever grateful when you say YES to the journey with me. But I've come to understand that I am the vehicle for the teachings. I am not the teachings. I am the conduit for the transmission and the downloads for when your soul is ready to receive and channel through me. I am not THE transmission or the downloads. And whilst I will always be an open book and will share honestly, there has been an inner refinement and evolution that, for now, is asking me to let the teachings lead the way. Do I have to endure extreme suffering and publicly unpack it to be considered a great, wise, authentic teacher? There was once a time I believed this. However, now I feel my soul has evolved a little further, deepened in humility, and embraced the truth that I am here to serve and support and that it isn't all about ME. It's time to allow the wisdom to flow. It's not my job to temper it, try to sell it, convince anyone or prey on your pain points. It's my job, arms and heart wide open, to say this is what I must share. And if the resonance is there, I know we'll find our way towards each other.

In this episode, Kris and I discuss:
Lauren Falconer and I decided to jump on and have a chat to bring to life the essence and energy within The Temple Space. Our online monthly ceremonial space begins on February 14th. We really both crave community within a consecrated space. Having journeyed together through Priestess training over the last 12 months and with 10 years of friendship, we decided we were fully equipped to collaborate and curate such a space together. And within this space holds the opportunity for magic, potent medicine and powerful awakening. It also offers the chance to be in sacred circle each month, to journey through cyclic wisdom together and to come into ceremony as a group and within your day to day life. Please join us as we share all the details on The Temple Space - our first official ceremony is on February 14th, 11am AEDT.

I recorded today's podcast a few days out from my 41st birthday, which astounds me because it feels like I was sharing that I was turning 40 and embarking on a new decade just moments ago. I wanted to share something that has had me thinking, which is the ageing journey. Before I start, I want to preface this by saying that I realise that I'm still young at 41, and I acknowledge that I still look relatively young for my age. However, I have no doubt that when I'm 50, I'll look back at my 40-year-old self and say, "oh honey, gosh, you thought you had wrinkles then!" I understand all of that, but this is more just bringing light to some of the musings of my considerations and thoughts as I age and watch others around me age too. I look in the mirror and can almost see what I may look like in 10 to 20 years. I'm noticing the social and physical shifts in my face and, of course, in my body that have me considering and questioning the value of perceived beauty that the world places upon us. How I show up in the world and present outwardly to the world is important in my life and business, but its importance seems to be wrapped in these patriarchal constructs of what a woman should look like. Worse yet, these constructs seem to determine how worthy she is of her life and that perhaps after a certain point when we look different, we need to act differently because we are different. And because we're looking different, it changes the game and what we're capable of achieving or our value or how successful we are. I'm not saying I agree with or abide by any of those rules, but I'm noticing the societal programming we all have. It's had me asking this question what if ageing was met in a completely different way? What if, as our bodies changed, we were met with celebration? What if, as each wrinkle came up on our faces, we were met with celebration and asked by our families to tell the stories of those wrinkles? What if, as our breasts drooped, we were asked to share the stories of the children we fed? I desperately wish to age with grace and with profound honour and reverence for myself in this body that will inevitably return to ashes and dust and return to the earth as it should. What if we were not just celebrated because we're alive and were born but because of all we've experienced? For all that we've held and suffered through? And come alive through? And that every single mark on our body, every wrinkle, every fold, every change and every shift was pointed out and honoured and kissed and loved? Because within the skin folds and the wrinkles, you will find great wisdom that will carry you through and teach you so much, and it will hold you steady with a gaze that is so grounded and connected to the divine and connected to humanity. Wise women are our oracles. They are here to teach us and show us how to return to a womb-based culture where we come in circle and ceremony and reverence for all of life. This is what my heart and my mind ponder upon as I age I'm so grateful that I get to be alive at 41, and I am conscious of gazing upon my body and saying and singing sweet words to her. To run my fingers across her loosening skin, wrinkles, and dimples and say I know your stories. I'm doing my best to share them and to honour all of you. To feed you the foods that nourish you and bring you aliveness, wholeness, and fullness. And yet I must also speak the truth, from the part of me and perhaps you, that witnesses this slow shift in this gentle decline, this ageing. I hope this podcast fills you with gratitude and love for who looks back at you in the mirror today. _______ In Claire's World Join @lauren_thelifepod and I inside The Temple Space - Monthly ceremonies, where we will come to know ourselves through movement, breath, Mudra, light language, womb yoga, and so much more.

Intentionally Empathetic What does that mean? What does that look like? The act of sacred service in the form of truly seeing and feeling, and hearing another. And this begins by going inward, descending into your body's wisdom to truly see, feel and hear yourself. Here you'll find deep compassion and love for the self. Which filters out to another - to all. In coming to know ourselves deeply, we can then really see another. Then we are not drained by the exchange, the giving, or the service. It's not servitude, or slavery, but true reciprocity centred on love. It begins with you first. And it begins through healing, holding and homecoming - in ceremony and ritual. Returning to yourself over and over and over. When we descend into ourselves, come to know ourselves and ultimately make peace with our own pain, journey, heart, and joy, we come to know others in the same way. Life is then layered with a softer filter. We show up differently, with more grace. We are humble and open. We are willing and present. We find joy in the mundane, every day and in the relationships that are so key to our human journey. And how do we do this? We create space and time and opportunity to be in ceremony. To sit in ritual. To commune with ourselves and others. To be seen and to see ourselves. To return to wholeness through our spiritual practice. And we repeat this, over and over and over. _____ Join @lauren_thelifepod and I inside The Temple Space - Monthly ceremonies, where we will come to know ourselves through movement, breath, Mudra, light language, womb yoga, and so much more.

My teacher Ana Otero was sharing in one of our recent Aramaic classes about a vision and channelling she received in 2012 from Mary Magdalene. Ana asked Mary Magdalene what Self Love really is. To help her understand this a little more. Some context for you here - in 2012 thereabouts - you may recall this sudden surge of interest and talk on The Divine Feminine and Self-Love. This interest seemed, for me at least, to come out of nowhere. The Goddess frequency was activated on our Planet around this time, and with that, a new language, consciousness, paradigm and feminine focus were seeded. So it's not surprising that Ana asked that question to Mary Magdalene, the embodiment of unconditional love. The Apostle to the Apostles. Such a powerful ascended master, consciousness, teacher and energy is here to support us in exploring the Divine within, on earth and in the heavenly realms. In today's episode, I unpack Mary Magdalene's answer to Ana - and dissect it through my own lens. It feels like the perfect timing as we begin a new solar return and journey into 2023. As this year is number 7, there is the possibility for us to receive more LIGHT - which means more spaciousness, more creation, and more love. Number 7 is also - amongst many other things - representative of Mary Magdalene. So as we begin this journey, it feels important to share some of her wisdom and that of my teachers.

In this episode myself and Kate go on a deep dive. Exploring all things energy, house clearings, psychic attacks and dark Vs evil energy. It's a big and important conversation and one that I feel really needs to happen. Especially as we began another solar return. What we cover:
Another perspective on Jesus Christ This podcast episode was completely unplanned and unexpected. On a whim, myself and Shunanda decided to unpack our perspective and opinion on all things Jesus/Yeshua. Which is quite fitting considering we are nearing Christmas Day in his honour and of course, the Solstice; the longest day and shortest night here in the Southern Hemisphere or our Northern friends experience the opposite - the depths of winter and darkness before returning to the light. This is a HUGE episode. Meaning, it's packed with some beautiful, profound perspectives, a few truth-bombs and some more darker and shocking statements and thoughts. We really, mostly, wanted to share what we feel is at the core of Yeshua's teachings, consciousness and energy and how we can all connect with him and his teachings regardless of religion, dogma and structures that bind. We come to this conversation from a very non-judgmental, open-hearted and open minded perspective. We ask you to do the same as you tune in. Essential, what we really want to highlight is that Christ is not a saviour but a mirror. He illuminates our own Christ consciousness and divinity. He shows the example and path for us to find, but we find that within. We start with our own journey - both spiritually and religious and from there, in honour of Jesus Christ and his birthday we get real on these points:
Here is my Spiritual Wrap Up of 2022! It has been such a different year from the previous two, and I hazard a guess that many of you feel this. For me, it's been a year of output - creating and offering alot within my business which I have loved. Lots of face to face time with clients and classes. It's been a big year within our family too, navigating everyday challenges and wins with two littles. My word for this year was Bloom. The year previous was flourish. And I feel that this theme is going to continue with Harvest calling me for 2023. However I want to unpack this year of BLOOMING for you because there has been a lot of huge energetic and spiritual upgrades and within that alot of deep healing and clearing/cleansing in order to continue blooming. The easiest way to do this is to move through the year sequentially but be prepared for a conversation that spirals and swirls. There is alot of rather unusual and wild stuff to share and it's not the easiest thing to summarise and explain what has unfolded in my world energetically and spiritually. It's safe to say that I will have to revisit certain elements and unpack them in their own episode (such as Plant Medicine and Past Life healing)but in this episode I share:
Be in RHYTHM. Come into alignment with your own rhythm. When I sit in ceremony, my sacred space is set with intention. Creating space in our 3D reality to consecrate this life - both the spiritual and the physical. When I offer spaces for you to access divine healing, mystical teachings and embodiment practices, I do so to invite your soul back into RHYTHM. This concept of rhythm has been shared with me many times by my teacher, but it's really only landing now - years into the spiral that is the mystery teachings. Rhythm, for me, is about unifying your body and soul. Bringing you back into connection (as an antidote to the disconnection we so often experience and feel). This is our rhythm. Totally connected. Physical body with the soul. Soul safely invited into the body. A space and a pace that we cultivate and keep for our soul to be expressed. Our soul needs expression through
I want to share with you the magic of the womb mysteries. It is believed that the roots of the Grail Womb Legends can be tracked back as far as Neanderthal Womb Religion. Through the Celtic, Egyptian and Tantric magic honoured and practiced by priestesses. Womb Mysteries passed down until the FEMININE, once revered, was eventually snuffed out by the patriarchal system. Connecting to the Womb Mysteries through my studies within the lineage of Mary Magdalene has been a coming home. An inner remembrance. And I truly feel that the consciousness and the teacher that is Mary Magdalane, Mother Mary, Yeshua, Isis, Hathor and many other Goddess are strongly activating and awakening many of us to return us into a state of balance. As I record this we have just completed the 4th week inside The Elemental Womb where we are journeying each with one of the six wombs and a Sacred Element. And whilst within this container and journey myself I have decided to run The Magdalene Frequency as an online offering this December 19th and 20th. I had no plans to do this by the Womb Mysteries and the frequency of The Magdalene is so strong and calling so loudly at the moment that I didn't really have a choice. What has called the most to me though is the evidence. Each week I receive emails and feedback from those within my classes and ceremonies sharing their personal experiences. I hear everything from "my WOMB finally has woken up and the inability to express myself is starting to clear. I can finally let go of the past." I often hear about physical ailments clearing, like cysts or dysfunction in the womb. I hear of processing grief or receiving healings and visitations from light beings and Yeshua, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene have been known to show up in my classes more than once.

To the wild ones, the way showers, the quiet light workers and the teachers/guides and healers… 2022 has been nothing short of wild, hasn't it? So many of us are receiving rapid and intense upgrades. Flooded with high frequency codes as we attempt to anchor a new earth. A new way. A new paradigm. I've often wondered how to contribute. What role am I playing? Until I realised that my own energetic expansion, integrity and spiritual clean up is the biggest contribution of all. So I chose to dive in deep over the last 24months. And it's been beautiful and intense. Almost unspeakable. I've personally experienced some of the most unbelievable upgrades. Golden codes of light have rippled and ripped through me. I've become deeply acquainted with sound - sound as the creation of all life. Sound frequency as the essence of all. My body has become a conduit, a channel for powerful transmissions and healings. Light language, sacred sounds and shamanic breath have become a way I process, offering healings and transmutation for myself and others. If I told you in detail I'm not sure you'd believe me… I hardly believe me. I've also been through the longest repetitive cycle of sickness. Faced many depths and dark points. With every upgrade comes a huge karmic and ancient purge. Lifetimes of suffering have surfaced for healing. I've had no choice but to surrender and accept the stripping of layers… I've been so sick and yet summoned by The Magdalenes many times to contribute to collective healing. I've sat across from clients in humility - not knowing what to do, except that it is time to FINALLY open up to my channel without control or restriction… only to be blown away by what comes through. It's happening my darling ones / the seismic shift we have been waiting for is already happening and it begins with you. The tending of your inner landscape, the regular sweeping and cleaning through of your energy field, the uncomfortable and required TRUST of your ancient gifts and full faith in your service. The time is now. It's time now… keep showing up… with plenty of rest and loving on your human self too! There will come a time when these wild days will make sense. Right now, when I'm in a spontaneous activation and my mind scrambles to make sense of it, I slowly reminding myself that's it safe to trust in the unknown. We are blindly painting a picture of the new world and soon we'll have perspective and clarity. Here's to the wild ones and the even wilder days. Know that you held by those that seeded these frequencies of unity consciousness and divine love thousands of years ago. And they are walking alongside us all.

Birthing my first medicine drum offered me up many reflections on living from your Sovereign Womb. Crafting my own Shamanic Drum was a profound experience that I can feel will continue to seed and bloom new wisdom. Birthing a drum is often seen as a gateway into your inner workings to review and reflect on your own birthing experiences, creative processes and ways in which you “birth”… This was certainly true for me in my experience but instead of facing shadows and spaces within yet healed I was able to meet with my “birthing process” from a healed and sovereign space. In this live I reflect upon what it means to live and move through life from your Sovereign, Wise and Surrendered Sacred Womb. Free of the control, perfectionism, expectations and self judgments that we often live with. Instead able to move in a symbiotic relationship with surrender, ease and flow AND with focus, presence, mindfulness and forward momentum. Tune in and share your thoughts.

In today's episode, I share a story that I am sure many of you will find familiar. It was a story of waking to yet another morning of unwell children. It had been one too many early morning wake-ups from sick kids. One too many mornings of interrupted sadhana. One too many nights of vivid, intense and psychic dreams. I was triggered by something my son said, snapped, and like always, I immediately regretted my moment of cranky. What followed was a moment that allowed me to surrender and release my emotions. The crying and sobbing that unfolded might have indicated trauma to anyone watching, but it was simply a build-up of frustration, tiredness and sickness that allowed me to heal and work through the moment by reconnecting with myself and my children. I told the kids to gather their things: whatever they wanted to play with and their muesli, and we went straight to the garden at 6:30 am. When we allow ourselves to experience the full spectrum of our emotions with our children (without placing them in a position to fix us), we can give them the necessary tools to hold themselves and others when needed. I sat with a child on either side of me and continued with my breathwork and grounding… until I heard my guidance say, it's time to tap through this. And from the moment my fingers tapped on my crown, the tears poured through. I tapped through how shit I was feeling and had been feeling. How tired I was of feeling tired, sick and spent. How done I was with the never-ending cycle of fevers and snot this year. They checked in: mama, why are you crying? They ask because sometimes they see my happy tears; sometimes they see sad ones. They just needed clarification. I said; my darlings, I'm just getting the sad feelings up and out so I can feel happy again. Little hands gave me a cuddle and a stroke before returning their busy hands to busy play. I ask - Can you create more opportunities to be with your body, heart and experiences and lean in towards what is there, allowing it to be felt and released? Can you start to stretch your capacity to be in your emotional experiences and honour what is moving through you? Can you allow your emotions to be felt safely and respectfully without downloading on them, without inflicting pain and guilt? As you stretch this capacity to feel, can you support your children to fully accept themselves and others without judgement and needing to fix anything? Thank you for listening.

When it comes to raising children and being a caretaker for two divine little humans, there is one thing in particular that I believe we must be so mindful of. It is something that can result in a lifetime of deep scarring. I'm speaking about SHAME (without judgement or blame) and how we, as parents, unintentionally and often automatically shame our children. Why does this matter so much? I've spent the better part of the last 12 years mentoring and coaching women, and a common and unfortunate thread is the SHAME they carry. Shame that first began at the hands of their parents and caretakers. Shame that is not and never was innate or part of their natural way of thinking and being. Brene Brown said, "I define shame as the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging—something we've experienced, done, or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection. I don't believe shame is helpful or productive." "Shame is the fear of being unworthy of love, connection and belonging, and the absence of love and connection and belonging as a human being, and there's always suffering." When your child does something wrong, such as spilling milk by accident, there is something that happens when we address the behaviour versus addressing the child. In this episode, I address how we unintentionally shame our children and why. I also explore how we can rewire and reprogramme how we communicate with our children and use moments for learning and building resilience rather than shame. As previously mentioned, I have coached 100s of women who, at the core of their emotional blocks and wounds, is SHAME. They are ashamed to stand in their truth, to use their voice, to go after their dreams, and to feel worthy enough of love. The list of ways that shaming our children affects their future selves is long and painful. Shame is not love. Shame is when we lead with fear and frustration, and resentment. Shame is self-centred, so if your goal is to lead, guide and teach your children with love, this podcast is for you! A child's learning capacity is best supported through love, not shame and judgement. We want our children to grow into responsible, capable, focused, motivated, disciplined, joyful, willing, and eager adults with a zest and passion for life - including its challenges. We want to raise our children with a GROWTH mentality, who aren't afraid to do the work, who aren't afraid of mistakes and problems and who are equipped with resilience, empathy and gratitude. Tune in to today's episode as I dive more into Parenting without Shame.
It's time to step into the Field of Practice. As a core value and as a way to return to wholeness. Embracing the journey of healing as a daily, subtle awakening through practice. It is in our practice as a community, as an individual that are able to place our old stories, beliefs and wounds on the altar of the divine and allow it to finally decay and dissolve. I am always so blown away by the willingness of my community to practice - to show up in body and breath and soul to welcome healing and embrace their wholeness. And to see how this ripples out from their womb to the collective womb. I share a poem from a favourite book - Womb Awakening by Azra and Seren Bertrand. This poem, for me, at the core is about individual and collective practice. That willingness to be in the field of change and transformation by fully embracing the work, daily. Moment to moment. “We are weaving a new way, Stitching revolutions together, Spinning new worlds from our wombs, Dreaming back the wild edges of our souls, Calling forth that which has been lost. We are women of the womb, Maddened by love into action, We are men of the heart, Softened into surrender, Afraid only of not feeling. We are thinking in a way, Your thread holds mine together: We are tale-weavers and troubadours, Telling the words that were broken, Singing the songs of longing. We are weaving a new way, Gathering the thread of pain, Spinning it back into gold…” And why? Why do we need to enter the field of practice? We need to upgrade. That's the truth of it. This new world that is currently unfolding before our eyes and we are all being asked to upgrade in mind-body-soul. In subtle and obvious ways. There are so many ways to do this, so many ways to upgrade and to recalibrate. And it most definitely begins with what we consume - what we eat, drink, what we watch and read and even who we engage with. But that consumption also comes down to what we are taking IN energetically. Some of what we take in is conscious and alot is not - and most we have no control over; generational patterns, familia stories, sub conscious beliefs and wounds we store. And whilst I am a HUGE advocate for shadow work and deep inner, spiritual healing, I also have come to realise that if we focus on upgraded VIA the lens of “I am wounded and I need help” we often end up in a spiralling loop to nowhere. I like to think of healing in the same way as understanding what a Mystic truly is. Mystic is a person who remembers that he/she is whole. In that remembering everything not needed slips away. And this is where WOMB work comes in. The womb is a portal of creation and our connection to the Divine Feminine Wisdom (Shekhinah, Sophia, The Divine Mother) We hold a frequency in our womb and it is this frequency that we create with. And yet, the womb is a porous sponge. So much of what we carry that is not ours, is in shadow and is not for our highest good can be held in the womb. Without “need” and force (no guns blazing here), it's important to recognise all that the womb carries and that cleansing, purification and elevation can be a HUGE and profound shift in how and what we create. It is from this higher and healed frequency within the womb that we can manifest and heal the physical world. YOUR physical reality. So in RAISING the frequency of the womb we allow what we may be holding on to fall away, as opposed to focusing on the shadow and desperately trying to heal our wounds which can often lead us feeling degraded, instead of upgraded. … WOMB WISDOM - it is being resurrected for a reason. The Divine Feminine is asking us all to upgrade and it is done through the power of our WOMBS. A collective upgrade, a collective healing that first begins with you. Tune in to today's episode as I dive more into the field of practice, womb wisdom, collective healing and the Magdalene frequency.
Episode 128: Today I dive into a much needed reminder on anxiety, future tripping, the worries we get lost in and the stories we create. I share a personal story and experience with my daughter in supporting her anxiety and worries. A story I feel we can all take wisdom and gold from both as parents, caregivers, friends, family members, space holders and beyond. But also and most importantly for ourselves. I also share: Releasing our attachment to control and to the future image that we are painting in our mind Opening up to the possibility that it could be better than expected Feeling into the anxiety that we are the makers of and questioning its origins and the stories behind it all. Getting curious, seeing our anxiety for what it truly is (a protector) and choosing a higher-mind approach. Thank you for listening.

In this episode I share the gifts and experiences that have slowly awakened within me and invite you into the journey of embodying these gifts. I also share an experience from The Magdalene Frequency event where I did something for the first time - something that felt wobbly, imperfect and yet a necessary experience for my soul's expression and voice.

In today's episode I talk to Tilly Storm. Tilly is the host of The Multiorgasmic Mama podcast and has been recognised as one of the top 20 sex coaches in the world by The Coach Foundation. Her podcast has reached over 230,000 listeners. Tilly's mission in life is to help women transform their relationship with their body and sexuality so they can experience epic sex, pleasure and intimacy with their partner. She spends her time helping mums experience epic sex and pleasure in the bedroom and beyond. Together we explore: *What Tilly commonly finds/common issues with mamas regarding their pleasure/sexuality/sensuality and intimacy. *Some of the main reasons mamas lose their sex drive, disconnect from pleasure or feel blocked around sensuality. *How mums can ensure they don't pass down people-pleasing and over-giving tendencies to their daughters. *Why getting in touch with your erotic nature (even as a mum) can ensure a pleasure-positive upbringing for your children. *How to transform your relationship with your body and sexuality after motherhood. *How to ignite desire and passion in your long-term relationship. *2-3 practical how-to's to prioritise pleasure even in the often challenging phase of motherhood so mamas don't pass down the same negative programming they received.

In today's episode, I talk about the Magdalene Frequency Retreat I will be holding on September 3rd 2022. I also share with you words that have been flowing from my heart. These words are a reflection of the sacred service that I feel called to do that directly connects with teaching and guiding and holding space and amplifying the divine feminine presence. I have 8 tickets left to the Magdalene Frequency, and after receiving a direct transmission from Shekinah (the Divine Feminine Presence), I am offering an additional and important gift to each guest who attends. "A Living Invitation…" I invite you into the folds of my heart And the resonance of my soul. Like a gong that reverberates and ripples out Sending a signal to the ready ones.. SHE invited me in to the folds of her ROSE-heart So I could touch the petals See the pulsing light within Taste the vibration of her soul Know the frequency of the mother-father A subtle caress Only feelings. No words. The divine sent a signal out to me. A code I cannot decipher but only live. Ready before I knew it. Called to ready… A living invitation beckoned me and with the flame growing in my womb I become the living invitation too And so do you The light, it passes on Will you let me show you? Will you let me move and breathe and flow with HER So you can flow with HER too? Embodying and Spiralling the ancient ways I ponder To live this way, what does that mean? To invite you in as I live this way, what does that mean? The words don't come And yet the frequency I feel From my womb to my heart I come whole again A remembering An embodiment A living invitation “Guided” A balmy haze gathers as we rest upon the shore Of infinite potentiality… I hope you'll hold my hand And yet I already know like I know spring follows winter that I must gaze through the fog; Seek my way through. My oars of effort slice through the silvery mirrored lake of my inner earth Reflections ripple, threading ghostly stories that fade away. Trusting that I will be guided, Heart flashing a thousand hues like a technicolour lighthouse… I arrive upon the shore of my wholeness … I'll find you there, already there. Waiting patiently. And in your eyes not a faithless moment to be found. The Magdalene Frequency is a truly powerful experience working with potent frequencies. It is a FULL DAY IN PERSON Retreat of Ancient Wisdom Technologies, Womb Work, Energetic Exploration, Light Language, Nature attunement, Rose Rituals and so much more.

In today's episode, I explore how we call in our like-minded soul sisters and surround ourselves with people who love us as we are and as we grow. Since moving to the central coast almost two years ago, I have cultivated a handful of luscious, beautiful, meaningful relationships with women that satisfy parts of me that haven't been met before. These are the parts of me that want to be in deep reverence with life and to be in ceremony always, even if it's just watching my children play. It had me thinking about how we come together with our friends and how we create and cultivate these connections because these friends see you as you are, and they love you and honour, admire and participate in what you have to offer now. Yet, at the same time, they offer their love for what you are stretching into and what you are becoming. It's essential to surround ourselves with people that accept, hold space for us and love us as we are but support us on our journey as we stretch into BECOMING who we are meant to be. Thank you for being here and listening. xxx
In today's episode, we explore Intuitive Hypnotherapy with Rachel Crethar. Rachel truly believes that if we can understand ourselves at a deep level, if we can peel back those layers of conditioning, and get rid of old, outdated beliefs that are holding us back, then we can move forward and have a richer experience of life. Rachel explains that RTT helps us genuinely move forward beyond the past to feel lighter, more aligned and more true to ourselves than ever before. The questions I explored with Rachel Crethar were - • What is intuitive hypnotherapy and RTT and how does it work? • How did you find yourself in this work? • The difference between regression and future-self visioning work • Some of the biggest blocks and stories/beliefs you see time and time again - e.g Self Doubt, Fear of Being Seen (all of which I've had to tackle at some point!) About Rachel: Inspired by her love of healing and fascination with how the subconscious can create our reality, Rachel completed her studies to become a clinical hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational (RTT) Therapist. After personally suffering from anxiety, low self-esteem and post-natal depression in the past, Rachel's empathy and passion for understanding the human mind, and why we do the things we do, is innate. Rachel now works with clients all over the world, helping them overcome all kinds of problems including anxiety, emotional eating disorders, removing money blocks, relationship issues and even helping them fall pregnant naturally after years of trying. https://www.instagram.com/rachelcrethar/
Listen to Episode 122 In today's episode we explore seasons and cycles of birth, growth, decay, death, rebirth. As I record this episode, I am three days out from what was one of the most profound and life-changing experiences. A journey with Plant Medicine. And truthfully, I have had many life-changing experiences. I'm not yet sure WHAT has changed (I know what unfolded during the journey and that might be for another podcast episode - if I feel called to share it, or there is enough interest from you lovely humans). What I do know, well I can feel is that there is an internal shift. As I was driving home I was marvelling at what has unfolded this year in 2022. For me personally and many beautiful ones I know - from clients, close friends and family. I turned 40. Held a sacred sound ceremony for myself and a few friends. Took myself off on a retreat. I've launched many programs. Spiralled deeper into my Priestess Training and Womb Yoga Training. I've begun Kundalini Activation training and receiving many transmissions and light language activations. I've experienced my first ice bath and now my first spiral with Plant Medicine (with more to come definitely). It's not over yet. And I know there is more coming. The last couple of years - I'd say from 2019 to now have been a huge journey of remembering Ancient Wisdom, downloading data, accumulating knowledge, embodying new gifts and accessing old ones, and holding myself as I spiral and journey. It got me thinking about seasons. I remember a time, not that long ago when I was so far from this season of growth - let me diverge for a second to clarify; this season for me is not just about that Vertical, upward trajectory of growth. It's also a season of integration. Of remembering too. Activations and refinement toggling back and forth. Listening deeply, contemplating. LIVING in the real world and riding the waves of motherhood. Gentle transitions and preparations for bigger ones. A sense of death coming shortly, which only means rebirth. Here's what I want to chew on. What season are you in? What seasons are you addicted too? What seasons do you resist/avoid? Are you OK with the slower seasons? And are you ready to allow the vertical growth and expansive seasons to take centre stage when you feel the call? I ask this, because from the outside in it might look like I'm addicted to the growth cycle. But I'm not. I honour what comes knocking at the door, tapping at my shoulder, pushing me across the line. And it's also important that sometimes seasons stretch out for long periods of time... months and months of transition. Or even months of death and decay and stripping away. And sometimes, you can cycle through the natural decay-death-rebirth-growth cycle in a matter of days or weeks. This seems to be the case for me at the moment. And I'm riding it - tenderly, passionately, willingness... there is no burn out. There is no ego driving this (other than my ego in service to my Sacred Soul) And I have a strong sense there will be a going to ground at some point when another person/experience/situation calls me attention and energy in a different way. A slowing down to allow for deeper rooting in an integration. To get horizontal and hang on this earthly plane as a season of its own.

In today's episode I share The Wisdom of The Womb Space 3-4 years ago my journey through somatic and embodiment work, which dove deep into body-focused trauma awareness led me, finally, to my womb space. It was not a place I expected to land. Then again, nothing every is. I was not exactly disconnected from my womb - I had a decent relationship with her as the portal that my babies came through. However after the emergency C-section with my son I became aware of healing that was needed. Not just physically but energetically. Let me also splice in here that from the moment I first fell pregnant way back in 2014 I felt a huge shift. The rite of passage that is pregnancy and beyond changed my in so many ways. I no longer wanted to move and be in my body in a masculine way. I started incorporating spirals, feminine flow and womb centred movement all quite intuitively. And yet I felt mostly unseen and upheld in the yogic world. There wasn't really a practice out there that held my now changed physical form and now changed spiritual self who required a practice filled with wisdom and respect and reverence for the feminine experience. So when it came time to reconnect with my womb after the birth with my second child there was alot of healing to happen. It was never forced or hurried but it naturally led me along a pathway towards Mary Magdalene and towards Womb Wisdom. What was here for me I could never have scripted. Not only did my relationship with The Divine Mother, Mary Magdalene and The Feminine become A sacred red thread that wove into my mind-body-soul. Into ALL of me and ALL of my life… I came to understand The Womb as the Sacred Portal it truly is. I want to share some of my deeper understandings here and before I go on I must give credit to my teachers. To The Divine Mother, TO Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary. To Ana Otero and the lineage of teachers I've had the blessing of learning from. The WOMB is the portal for all life. There is not one human being on this planet that hasn't come from a womb. Irrespective of their identify, their gender, their belief systems, their desires. We are all born from a womb. Tune in so we can deeper here, together. Thank you for being here and listening.

Listen to Episode 120: In today's episode I share my journey with The Divine Mother and Awakening to The Rosary I never even imagined that my own mother's devotion to Mother Mary would have such a deep impact on my own spiritual path. I never fathomed that the Divine Mother in all her forms and goddess energies would come calling for me. When I first received Mary Magdalene in 2014 through a vision (whilst pregnant) I had no idea what would be activated in me. A deep and reverent love for the DIVINE MOTHER. Goddess from all time, space and dimensions. For the Divine Feminine Presence that is the life-force of all. I couldn't imagine how it would deepen my love for Gaia, for this earth and her people. I had no idea the depth of aliveness and grounding I would feel by walking this spiritual path into the Cosmic Womb to be held once again by the Mother. I couldn't forsee how this would shape my own mothering and my relationship to the Mother Archetype in all areas of life - (and of course a deeper understanding of how we as a modern society have shut down, suppressed, disconnected and closed off from the ‘Mother' in everything from the way we eat, to how we live, commune, connect, work, relate…) If I cycle back many years, watching my mother pray the Rosary (which I now do too, in Aramaic and not as a religious practice but a deeply spiritual path, spiralling back to the centre of my heart and the centre of HER heart) and meditating each day I couldn't imagine the seeds she planted. I wouldn't have wanted to know… it was all too religious and dogmatic for me. And yet here I am, in a deep love affair with ritual, ceremony, spirituality and all the ways I can weave my world back into the arms of The Divine Mother… This is equally the most celestial, cosmic journey AND earthly, grounding, human unfolding I have ever experienced. It fills with me joy and grief, with light and shadow, with peace and chaos… with passion, purpose and pain. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for being here and listening.

In today's episode, I am talking about when I had my littlies home with me the other day. We were choosing an afternoon movie and landed on SOUL. There was one message in the movie that I was happy to spend time explaining. And that was the difference between your soul's purpose and the meaning of life. Whilst I truly, 100% believe that our soul has a purpose to some degree - and that purpose is part of our own personal journey, script, story you could say. And whilst that purpose is valuable and has such depth - I have started to realise over my years that it's not so much EXACTLY what you are doing within that purpose but the feeling state, the embodied alignment and joy, the deep gratitude washing through you. So that's not to say don't go for big dreams, or don't chase down what feels purposeful, but the real question is are we opening up to the meaning of life that to me is felt in the everyday. Such as: Holding your child as they cry, watching their heart break. Witnessing a fellow human do something wild, outrageous and simply inspiring. Watching the way shadow and light plays on your bedroom wall. The taste of a strawberry. That first insanely refreshing glass of water after you've completed a big workout. The deep rest and peace that washes over your babies faces when they sleep or their little fingers reaching for your face when breast-feeding. The crunch of autumn leaves under your feet. The first beam of sunshine you feel after a long bout of rain. The magic in the air when watching live music. The love in the air when witnessing two people on their wedding day. Today's episode is about when we add each of those moments up, many hundreds of them, that we have hopefully been present with and soaked up, isn't it then that we live a purposeful, meaningful life?

In today's episode, I'm bringing you a conversation around abandonment - a theme that has been circling in my world since covid, but has also been a theme in my life for many years. Alongside resurfacing whilst I was sick with the dreaded virus, I've also come to learn through therapy how this core wound of mine plays out in other areas of my life, specifically in my relationship. It constantly reveals new layers for me to meet, and when meeting the topic of abandonment with a client recently, we dove into the confronting ways that she was also abandoning herself. When we are on a journey of reclamation - healing stories, beliefs and patterns - yes, we go to the root cause (if our nervous system is ready and able to hold that - if not, then we tend to our nervous system first!) and yes, we must address all the areas that feel sticky and hurtful. However, what I have found to be the most fruitful and what I offered my client is this; From here on out, you must work to never abandon yourself. Ever. This starts by looking at all the daily and small ways where you can choose yourself. Like - Showing up to a commitment you made for your movement and mental health. Choosing a meal that makes you feel healthy and alive. Saying what you need to say and hold boundaries that you know are right for you. Today's episode is about choosing you, over everything and everyone else, first. Reclaiming abandonment and turning it into acceptance, belonging, appreciation, acknowledgement - and in doing so, allowing yourself to follow through. Visit claireobeid.com/episode115 for more.

This week on the podcast I share my experience of teaching to private groups, most recently teaching yoga to a group here on the coast last week. I don't do these often but when I do I am always met with a push-pull sensation - The tug of tension between sharing all of what and who I am and yet measuring it, drip-feeding it and tailoring it to the group. And truthfully, I never quite know what to expect. How will they feel when I start with unusual breath work practices, or talk to them about their womb centre, or have them working with energy, or doing bizarre practices to unscramble their brain? And yet, every single time I'm shown that I should question such things. When a women is invited home into her body an inner spark is lit, a curiosity awakened, a remembering even… By the end of these sessions someone always asks: “Claire, do you know where I can find someone who teaches like you do…” Which is usually met with me sucking in air, deeply, before sighing and saying - “I'm sorry, I don't know…” Here's the thing… I do know where to send you for Kundalini. I do know who can hold you through Womb Yoga. I know precisely who can teach you yin. Or the many breath work teachers I've had. But I can't show you someone who weaves it together, who intuitively blends it and who offers it from her heart (and from 15 years of self exploration) in my signature. We all have our own signature. We all have our own unique essence. My essence - in a nutshell - a co-creation of many learnings, lessons and elements unique to my soul. If you've been here a while (if you're new, Hi, welcome!) you'll know I've grappled with the way I learn, co-create, tailor, mash-up and blend, rewrite and make teachings, practices, guidance all my own. Thinking it should be just ONE thing I offer and become an expert at. I'm now at a place where I can own that when you work with me, you actually get ME. Not THAT tool. Or THAT modality. Or THAT piece of wisdom. You get me… and yes, my bag is fully of magic tricks. But it's me and the way I hold space, midwife and teach (and how interpret and use those bags of tricks). You get ME - the one who intuits the room, reads the energy of each individual and tailors the experience to create cohesion. Coherence. Medicine. … Now here is where I want to bring you into this. Because none of this is possible without your participation. We dance together… It's one thing for me to highlight how far I've come in owning my incredibly unique, layered and medicinal ways (and I do so as an invitation so stay tuned). But none of that matters without factoring in YOU, who you are, what you bring to the space (that includes your energy, your story, your history, your wounds, your life, your trauma). So let me start here by saying… One of the most important aspects of being in service to women is SAFETY. My beautiful friend Tara Bliss, who I had the absolute pleasure of hosting a ceremony for her Heartbeat container says “There is a sense of comfort, safety and belonging that Claire creates for everyone that sits in circle with her. That is known and felt that it's possible because of the circles that Claire herself has sat in, received in, participated in and welcomed into her whole being. “ Join me in this episode as I unpack safety, the way it has unfolded on my own journey, and invite you in to question how important safety is for your growth, learning, healing but also simply for your daily embodied experience within life.

Welcome back to Woman Awake. After a little break with the spicy flu, I'm excited to be back on the podcast today to share with you my latest offering - The Temple Space. A monthly grace-centred gathering of ceremony, ritual, healing, holding and home-coming. And alongside this, I want to speak to the common response that I often hear when we're invited into a space like this that doesn't always present a clear and direct outcome for us. We're often asking - “What do I get out of this?” “Is this just a luxury or a nice to have, or is it a must-have?” And to that I want to say, why can't it be both? You see, it is our duty, not just a luxury, to tend to our spiritual selves. It forms the energetic framework that carries all the other work we do in the world. It supports us in cultivating an inner aliveness and attunement that ripples out into the world as it shifts us on a cellular level. Often this need to class such things as ‘luxury' is our way of avoiding where we are being called to sit with our soul, and keep us holding back on our responsibilities to ourselves and this earth we are passing on to our children. Which is why we need to start asking - can this be both? Can spaces to meet myself, return home and come together with likeminded people be both a luxurious place to be AND an absolute must in my life, for myself and the world? Today's podcast is an exploration of this for yourself, as I invite you through the doors of my new offering The Temple Space. Visit claireobeid.com/episode112 for more.

Welcome back to a new season of Woman Awake. In today's episode, I want to share some words from a beautiful member of the current (I am) The Remedy container, who wrote me to share her experiences in our weekly Soma and Light Sessions on embodiment… Her words: “You're the first person I've done training with that I actually understand and have felt what it means to embody something. The word embody has always been elusive to me, but every single Sunday session I'm like, OMG this is embodied! Which can only mean that you yourself embody the practices. You are filled with grace…” Firstly, what a message. I still pinch myself that I get to work with women who so beautifully share words like this and who see me with such love. Secondly, I'm bloody thrilled. Because it wasn't only 5-6 years ago that I realised a big and painful truth. I was not EMBODIED. I was not grounded. I was not and had never been home on this earth, in this body, in this lifetime (and that simply wasn't good enough)… So this feedback is a huge gift… Even so, despite this, I cringe when people describe me as an embodiment coach… Embodiment is the new spiritual buzz word du jour. I actually really LOVE embodiment work. I love the word. I love what it means. I love that we are starting to centre our attention on the SOMA and explore somatic based practices. I cringe though because, to me, embodiment is often very misinterpreted or misunderstood. It's not something you DO. It's in the BEING. We DO things to support our integration and becoming. So we can BE embodied. The irony in what I'm about to say is that embodiment is not how well you can writhe about on the floor performing your best pleasure based practice (and again, I say this with a little cheek - I love a good floor romp). Here's the thing … we can “perform” and attempt to portray what might look like an EMBODIED individual. We can perform anything if we want to. But the real golden ticket is when a person can hold space AND transmit a clear and tangible form of embodiment that is felt not just witnessed and seen. “To be an expression of or give a tangible or visible form to an idea, quality, or feeling…” When we are in the presence of someone who is embodied, that is how we begin to learn what embodiment feels like and looks like. That person might be silent and still and yet if we can FEEL their embodiment then we come to understand it and possibly begin to live it too. When someone embodies their truth it's not just the things they say, it's the way they live, stand steady, own, exemplify and teach without trying. It's what's you HEAR without words. When someone fully inhabits and embodies their sovereignty they do not fight from a place of fear but instead hold strength and worthiness. There is reverence for themselves and others and a very clear, unbreakable & felt boundary line. When someone embodies their sexuality & sensuality, it's not something they perform, but something you can FEEL - a frequency you can almost taste even when they are washing the dishes. They are not in their mind questioning their creative, sexual self - they are breathing that into every moment. When someone embodies their heart and their soul there are no airs and graces, false pretences or games - you can sense their aliveness and wholeness. You are invited into their authenticity and vulnerability. You can touch their compassion and get drawn into their deep respect for humanity and divinity. Visit claireobeid.com/episode111 for more.

This week on the podcast I'm speaking about what it means to me to be an inconvenient woman. As a mother, I'm often 'inconvenient' and I'm OK with that, however after sharing a story in IG about my daughter and an interaction I had with her school and teacher recently, I had many of you reach out and it prompted me to want to unpack what it really means for us, especially as women who identify with the feminine, to 'rock the boat', go against the expectations of others and be 'inconvenient'. In this episode I speak to; - the story I shared on Instagram, where my priority for my daughter's emotional wellbeing took precedence over 'obeying the rules' (and always will) - What being inconvenient in motherhood and womanhood can look and feel like - how we must ASK for help, ask questions that make others uncomfortable, and often stand out from those around us. - and how we must prioritise our energy management, health, vitality and spirituality, and push back on all the invisible boundaries and chains that lock us into servitude, submission and toeing the line.

In today's podcast I chat with friend, mentor and published author Shunanda Scott who you may remember from episode 014 where we spoke about raising sensitive children, working with the angels and being an empath. Shunanda has just released her new book - The New Angel Messages - which includes the messages she received whilst channelling from the angels for 365 days in the thick of the pandemic. The daily messages from the angels at this time were a life changing level of support for both myself and many others through uncertain times, and to now have access to them in this book is a true gift and reminder that love always prevails. We speak about: - Who are the angels, what are they, and how does Shunanda relate to them. - Shunanda's personal journey of working with the angels, complete with her own resistance following the messages of mainstream religion, and how different type of angels communicate and work with us. - How to anchor with the angels and their messages, and open, trust and feel their communication - The way this work formed a huge part of my own personal awakening and reconnecting with this invisible layer of support and unconditional love - How Shunanda was guided to create these messages daily and turn them into a book - How Shunanda stays attuned to the message and the channel, without her triggers and opinions clouding her - And how she coped with the huge surge of attention on her work and the angels during this time. We are visited by the angels through this conversation and it's a truly beautiful experience to share with both Shunanda and those listening, to feel and open up to that overwhelming sense of love and support.
