Feel Pray Love - Episode 65 - Recognizing How Thoughts Impact our Beliefs, Emotions and Embodiment In today’s episode, our host Nikki, talks about how our thoughts, turn into beliefs, and manifest in our body as emotions, which are then embodied and projected outward as our aura. She talks about how important it is to feel safe, recognizing our thoughts so we can embody positivity to attract what we deserve. Thoughts -“Your thoughts affect your life” is something Nikki has been told her whole life. But, changing her thoughts, hasn't always changed her life. -There is a reason affirmations don't work, mindset changing does not work -Thoughts don't actually live in the body -Thoughts are very powerful, but not the whole story -In fact, telling someone to only have positive thoughts, is futile -The most intelligent leaders don't control their thoughts, they learn to choose their thoughts, and separate from their thoughts -They can observe their thoughts without believing in them -They key is to understand our thoughts and learn to control our thoughts, instead of letting our thoughts control us Beliefs -When we have a thought, there is usually a belief about that thought too -Without observer awareness, we tend to believe anything we think -If we wake up and think “I'm a mess”, then that's what we tend to believe -And the belief behind that thought is “I am not lovable” Emotion -That belief, leads to some form of emotion, which could be sadness, pain, loneliness, etc -Emotion (energy in motion) lives in the body Embodiment -When a belief, leads us to feel an emotion, we now embody that emotion -“My body is the bridge between the internal world and the universe” - Nikki -“You attract that which you are radiating” - Nikki -“If I have a closed and rigid aura.. I am not embodying the version of myself I need to embody, in order to receive” - Nikki -When we are fully whole, things come easily to us Safety -Any and all healing begins with safety -When we don't feel safe, our nervous system goes into fight of flight in order to feel safe -It's important to recognize the thoughts and beliefs that trick us into believing we are not safe -It's not enough to say a mantra or affirmation, you have to believe it HER:Reclamation -Portal for Embodiment of healing -A 5 week group program for women -This isn't a mindset course, it won't teach you the law of attraction, because you already ARE the law of attraction -This is an embodiment course Links Her Reclamation Course: www.nikkisunshine.info/store Website: www.nikkisunshine.info Instagram: @heartwombhealing Email: hellonikkisunshine@gmail.com

Feel Pray Love - Episode 64 - Embodying Safety to Receive Everything We Deserve In today’s episode, our host Nikki, talks about the essence of the feminine - how women block themselves from receiving. She explains the different ways the feminine deceives herself, and how she must surrender to trust in safety, to be open to receiving all that she deserves. Femininity -Feminine energy can take form in a man, a woman, a cat, a flower, it can take any form -There is a small percentage of those who identify as a balance between masculine and feminine -“When I embody my true self, life begins to work in harmony with me” - Nikki -Nikki says she is here to help women claim their feminine essence -Woman, at her very core is everything, literally everything. The experience of everything at once is the feminine. This is why those who rest in the feminine, become overwhelmed, as they experience everything so fully. -The feminine's deepest yearning is to be filled by the love of the masculine, coming in as love, protection, money, food, etc. The feminine is open, and always wants more depth. The masculine is always yearning for peace, nothingness, silence. Removing Blockages -As a feminine being, we are a lot, but we are not too much. -Today’s Transmission - “I want a lot and I am a lot” -The blockage is that we make our desire for things wrong -Wanting it all is the genuine authentic expression of the feminine -When we shove parts of ourselves down, they do not go away, we just stop acknowledging that part of ourselves -While that block may have been influenced by society, it was made and is sustained by you. Which is great, because it means we can remove it. Receptivity -Another pillar of the feminine essence is receptivity -There is no greater joy to the masculine, than watching her open fully to receive all that he has to give her -“The feminine loves to receive, her innate nature is to receive it all” - Nikki -We've been trained to think that receiving isn't good, that receiving comes with a price, we can do things on our own, etc. -When we don't allow ourselves to receive, it is reflected in a much bigger way Trusting in our Safety -The man, holds the container of safety (black circle) and if she really trusts him, she gets unravel into and fully fill the container -Surrender based trust - ‘I know I am protected, guided, cared for, so I trust’ -A common expression of the wounded feminine, is the overthinking, overdoing feminine. This shows up as control -Instead of a to-do list, Nikki suggests a ‘flow’ list -Things don't even have to be on the flow list, they just need to call to you in the moment -“The reason you want to control everything is because you do not feel safe” - Nikki -This pattern will not change until we decide to address our safety Final Thoughts -“Money is always coming, there is unlimited money, but if I don't believe that, then that belief will be reflected in the way that I relate to money” - Nikki -When you are open, you can receive -When the root is mistrust, the manifestation is control -When the root is trust, the manifestation is surrender HER:Reclamation -A 5 week group program for women -This isn't a mindset course, it won't teach you the law of attraction, because you already ARE the law of attraction -This is an embodiment course Links Her Reclamation Course: www.nikkisunshine.info/store Website: www.nikkisunshine.info Instagram: @heartwombhealing Email: hellonikkisunshine@gmail.com

This week Nikki delves deep into the ways in which control and constriction block us from receiving. She’ll disclose the root cause of anxiousness, worry & misalignment. She will speak to the art of the Sacred Feminine Dance and how to create safety in our bodies so that we can open fully. She will share her personal healing experience from 2020, when God asked her to surrender and take a leap of faith in full trust. She took the leap, and will share what happened as a result. Leaps of faith require great trust. Because they’re not easy, that’s why it is a leap. If you had all the answers and security, no leap would be required. It would be more of a step. Specifically in this episode I’ll touch on: My personal experience with living in constriction around money My inability to attract financial abundance Your relationship with money is directly related to your relationship with the masculine Control tendencies lead to lack of abundance Safety as the root of control and anxiousness Two ways to respond to the loving guidance of the Divine Masculine How faith threatens our ego The moment of decision: to follow my guidance or not? Gifts from the Universe cannot arrive if you are closed Opening before you can receive How Softening & Surrendering leads to abundance The role of Safety in Opening yourself Why it’s difficult for women to feel safe The Grand Illusion of Separation Why Nature is Healing for Humans How changes in the Nervous System affect our feeling of safety The path to deep healing Somatic Breakthru Session: https://www.nikkisunshine.info/offers/jzpQpEEJ/checkout Energetic Clearing Session: https://www.nikkisunshine.info/offers/KL6zQYzG/checkout

As a growth person, it can be challenging to decipher when I should stay in a challenging dynamic in order to experience more growth versus when it's time to honor my personal boundary and leave.

I'll share my favorite ways to TUNE IN to the guidance of the Universe and receive her potent signs and wisdom. It gets JUICY ya'll!

Since my separation with Warren a couple weeks ago, I've been feeling into the idea of moment to moment fluidity in all my relationships. This week, I share a new paradigm of Relationships that continues to evolve and clarify itself as the dynamism of my experience continues to expand. Moment to Moment Fluidity in Relationships is based on a 'moment to moment' self and joined check in: Is this relational dynamic still serving our individual Truths, Mission & Growth? This paradigm is a far leap from what many of us have been taught to consider in the context of relationships, specifically romantic and sexual relationships. And, I feel this the most aligned and authentic type of relationship for me, as a "growth person" that I've ever considered. As you listen, allow what resonates to resonate, and release the rest. Trust that what you absorb from this conversation is exactly what you and your nervous system are available to integrate in this moment. Have you seen my new & hella improved website?!? Check out my latest blog post by clicking the link below: Trusting Your Body's Wisdom when your Mind has a Different Plan.

I will share some of the daily practices and embodiment practices that have been like medicine for me.

I walk down the journey, the more common experience of unconsciously bringing unhealed wounds into relationship, that I see in my regular coaching practice. If I am unaware of how this works, I might unconsciously project my fears and insecurities onto my partner, essentially blaming them for not acting in a way that doesn't touch my insecurity or fear. And this can lead to great frustration and disconnection. Learn how to take ownership for your own emotional wounds, insecurities and fears. Then, learn how to support one another through the true, deep healing of these lifelong emotional wounds. Healing emotional wounds through the safety and clarity of our partnership container is one of the most beautiful experiences we are offered in partnership.

Introducing...Surrendered Based Trust! Surrendered Based Trust is a deep trust in the process of Life. I trust this process. I trust what Life has in store for me. I trust what's happening right now, even though it hurts. I trust my path, even though I'm in pain. I trust this moment. In this episode I demonstrate the difference between what I call Control-Based Trust and Surrendered-Based Trust. Control Based Trust is easily broken, while Surrendered Based Trust can not be broken, and can only nourish all of your experiences. I share a glimpse of my experience in Maui and how Surrendered Based Trust eased me through some of the most fragile and painful moments of my 2019. Surrender Based Trust allows me to remain OPEN and access my SOVEREIGNTY. When I trust in Life's Path, then no matter what I'm experiencing, I can feel grounded in the knowingness of deep trust.

This week I dive into a delicious conversation with THE Molly Curtis. We unpack the following & MORE: - Polarity Mindset vs Duality Mindset - Demonizing not the human nor the Divine - What it looks like for us to Be a Whole Being - Neither prioritizing the Divine Feminine or the Divine Masculine in Ourselves - Solo Growth vs Growth in Partnership - Challenging the idea that 'you can't have comfort AND growth' - Over-focus on suffering in the Growth World - Blending or Merging in Partnership - How to not lose your True Self in the context of Committed Partnership Mollys Instagram: @mollymoonrise Mollys Website: https://www.rootbalancerise.com YOU ME & WE: https://www.rootbalancerise.com/the-me-the-we Molly is a multifaceted, shape-shifting facilitator of alignment & activation. Her passion in this world lies in unleashing herself from societal expectations, conditioning, and programming in order to access more of the spectrum of life. Her journey inward began in 2011 and is a lifelong pathway of exploration, play, and drinking in the nectar of each moment. Her unrelenting dedication to personal inquiry has led her down many pathways of healing, including yoga, dance, sacred sexuality, medicine making, energy work, and harmonizing with the rhythms of Nature & the elements. The central axis of her work lies in helping others occupy the allness of themselves. Living as divinity in form requires us to occupy our divine masculine and feminine energies with ferocious, oscillating balance. Through learning both polarities at a cellular level, you are able to activate what is needed in the moment, dancing gracefully between surrender and action.

Why don’t people use boundaries if they’re SUCH a powerful tool? Fear. And Misinformation. A boundary is an agreement with myself to take whatever means necessary to honor my truest needs, desire & core values in any given moment. Boundaries are NOT a tool for disconnection. Boundaries to not equate to No. Boundaries can be communicated with love, care and kindness. Listen closely as we break apart limiting misconceptions about boundaries out there in the world. I’ll talk about learning to identify and clarify where I need boundaries in my life. I discuss the process of actually creating a boundary and what that looks like. And of course, we talk about communication of boundaries and how do so with confidence and care. Boundaries are a chance for us, as women in particular to Own our Voice, Understand ourSelves and Have our own backs! I believe through Badass Boundary Education + Empowering Experiential Practice ALL women can learn to feel safe in their space, their body and in the world.

This week I go deep with Madelyn Moon; teacher, retreat leader & hostess of the Mind, Body, Musings Podcast! Together we explore Emotions, and their delicious importance in our life.

Maddy shares how embodiment practices can be used to heal/shift the Nervous System! This is fascinating to me and absolutely empowering for anyone that listens. Together we briefly tap into sexual fantasies and why you're not bad or wrong for having 'unspeakable' sexual fantasies, kinks & desires. Maddy & I talk about SHADOW WORK, she shares her brilliant definition of 'shadow self.' This is the KEY, the key to life: Learning how to Own, Honor & Acknowledge our Shadow Sides. SO JUICY!! Finally, we explore the conversation around the parent wound, and in learning to forgive our parents and accept them as they are (because we will never be able to change them). We talk about the healing journey that is forgiving our parents and leaning to see them and love them in their own, unique light.

HOT MESS TO SELF EXPRESSED 90 DAY PROGRAM (4 SPOTS LEFT, 3 DAYS LEFT): https://www.relationshipbadass.com/hotmessselfexpressed This week I delve into JEALOUSY: - Why Jealousy is my friend!! - Jealousy isn't 'bad' or 'wrong' - My SUPER DUPER 4 Step Process to DEAL with jealous feelings in a moment when it takes over - A super juicy story about when I experienced jealousy in mine & Warren's relationship - My personal beliefs around jealousy - A new, empowering reframe on jealousy YOU ARE STRONG. YOU ARE UNIQUE. YOU ARE BADASS. Who's going to join me in the transformation 90 Day Journey of a LIFETIME?

This week I clarify a KEY difference between Listening with the goal of UNDERSTANDING versus Listening with a goal of PROVING you WRONG. You can UNDERSTAND someone's experience without 'agreeing' that they are 'right'. And when we are truly listened to, and feel deeply understood- the affect is a literal RELAXING of our Nervous System aka our Trigger System. Two relaxed & resourced people are much more likely to have an productive conversation than are two triggered & activated people. There is GREAT POWER in the ability to hold two different Experiences, as Truth. At the same time. This ability build Trust, Safety, Connection, Intimacy and Closeness. Just because your experience (of the same event) doesn't match mine, it doesn't make yours 'wrong'. Nor does it make mine 'wrong'. RIGHT AND WRONG DON'T REALLY EXIST!

**Interested in BADASS BOUNDARY BOOTCAMP?** Let me know here: https://www.relationshipbadass.com/blank-page-1 THE PARADOX of INTIMACY: That in order to connect, separateness is required. When two people morph into one, they are no longer separate, and can no longer connect with each other. Intimacy, is the delicate dance between Separateness and Togetherness. Autonomy & Mutuality. You & Me & Us. This week, I'm talking about EMBRACING space in Partnership (Separateness) Why separateness is so essential in a long-term partnership. What can happen to the Union in the absence of enough space and individuality.
