Join us for this Feminine Power Time, Embracing Life's Jacket : 5 Inquiries to Find Clarity & Courage in Choppy Waters - one of the four Power Pauses we do each year, this one focused on the energy of Equinox, Harmonizing. Taking a Power Pause quarterly is one of the best practices for decreasing anxiety, increasing clarity, receiving guidance and gaining courage. When we pause at near the equinoxes and solstices, our internal rhythm aligns with the natural rhythm... we gain clarity on how to focus in the coming months + we take a stand to ensure you have the support and structure you need to hold you. Power pauses are a personal-leadership best practice, and a wise way to run your business, organization and team. Also must if you want to stay centered, sustained and sane in our current world. Every year I hold power pauses at this 4 key shifting points, the equinoxes and the solstices, March, June, Sept and Dec - within the Feminine Wisdom Way Collective, and for leaders  of teams, companies and organizations in which we do "Cyclical Strategic Planning." While the structure of each Equinox power pause is the same, every year we are different and every year the world is different. So I change up the flavor and focus based on what's needed.  This year, I felt compelled to share with you a series of 3 inquiries shared with me by one of my long-time mentors - Pele Rouge Chadima co-founder of Timeless Earth Wisdom. Plus 2 sustainable success and wellbeing inquiries we ask every year at this time.  The wisdom and inquiries have def been a life jacket for staying above the choppy waters of chaos, finding my way back to center when I fall  off my 'life raft," and answering the call to what's taking me into bigger waters.    It all centers around "Trusting Life" which is different than "trusting the Universe" .. in subtle but pretty profound ways - both are needed.  The first part of this episode I share what I have been learning through this lense of Trusting Life that has truly been a life-jacket. The second part I will take you through a ritual - like a labryrinth - with 5 inquiries to help you tune into the messages Life has for you, where your resistance might be, and what is calling you to accept and center into so you can receive the gift Life is trying to offer.  See you there,   Christine p.s. SHARE THIS POWER PAUSE WITH A FRIEND ... go through the inquiries together and then this year become re-harmonizers for each other when you get the wobbles or can't seem to find your centered truth.  ***** RESOURCES Wisdom Inquiries - Access on Feminine Power Time Podcast Page Timeless Earth WIsdom and Pele Rouge - https://www.centerfortimelessearthwisdom.org/  Other Equinox Power Pauses - These inquiries are different than the ones I  have done in Equinox Power Pauses in the past, but those inquiries are also still valid for finding imbalances, shifting habits, setting focused intentions - you can access the library of Equinox Power Pauses here.   CONNECT: Subscribe to Christine's Monthly Wisdom Letters - https://christinearylo.com/wisdom-letter-signup/ Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinearylo/ Feminine Wisdom Cafe - private online community: http://www.FeminineWIsdomcafe.com You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChristineArylo    

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

Last Feminine Power Time we talked about the "meta" and "collective" - what the themes, energy and patterns are in the larger field as we go into 2025. This gives us wisdom for how to move through this year. Today, we turn to the "personal" - what are the themes, awarenesses, perspectives and ways of looking at our lives and our choices within them. So we can walk through 2025 centered, sustained, focused on what matters, using this catalytic time for our good and the good of all. Without burning out, running back to normal or missing the possibility.  Tune in for this year's Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead, 2025, Part Two. Keeping Peace in Our Cells  I'll share with you a series of themed wisdom and inquiries + practices that I'm applying myself and using with all the leaders and communities I work with.  I will also take you through some embodied integration of the wisdom, so it really lands in your body, being and brain. Here are some of the Wisdom Pearls you can put in your pocket to guide your choices now and in the months to come - use these proactively + also in the moments when you get the internal wobbles, or the external world or circumstances threaten to pull you into the swirl.  Themes PATTERNS IN SELF, OTHERS, WORLD - Look for them and bring langauge to them "PHOENIX" LIGHT -  work with the alchemy, don't burn it all down or get lost in the fire PASSIONATE DETACHMENTCOMPASSIONATE DETACHMENT - work this power spectrum to stay present, empowered and centered  PART + PURPOSE - stay focused on your part and purpose so you don't get blown out PRESENT IN THE NOW - call your mind/body back to now moment, again and again PLAY + PRACTICE + PEOPLE - more play, practice and time with your people as a way to stay light.       See you there!

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

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head. DON'T: Let the chaos and pressure of the world, or the should's of your self-induced pressure swirl you up or stop you from breaking through to more elevated, expanded, supportive realities.  DO: Turn inward, tune into your heart and tap into your deeper wisdom and desires. Dare to let those inspire and guide you. DO: Choose to tune into Wisdom before you choose your focuses for this year...that higher guidance saying "Focus here! Here is where the flow and momentum are!"    Wisdom teaches us to use the practice of "inquiry" to consider the path before moving into action... which results in more easeful effort, sustainable success + fluid efficiency (plus keeps us light, which we need during challenging times, to keep us sustained.) Wisdom requires us to slow down, to hear the insights and guidance. So we practice the "Slow Start Our Year" and intentionally give ourselves space to hear our deeper truth and wisdom.  If we want to access Wisdom vs. just more mental ideas, we need to FEEL not THINK our way forward.  CONSIDER THIS: Your mind can only create what it's done or seen before. If we want things to be different, we have to go deeper - into our hearts, bodies, and "subtle energy" realms. Which also means we also need something to 'do' -- we can't just sit around and wait for insight to drop in, LOL. Every January I pull a small set of potent inquiries from the Emerge Visioning process that are like portals into a more expansive possibility, higher intelligence, and guidance. This morning I combed through the inquiries in the Emerge Journal an pulled 5 to get you started  visioning, intention setting & focusing for the year to come. I will walk you through Wisdom inquiries in the podcast + they are posted on my wisdom blog here.  See you there! Christine >>p.s. BE AN ELEVATOR, SHARE THIS PODCAST WITH ONE PERSON + then conversate together-- Just share, or dare create connection by 'doing' the inquiries together.  ___ PROGRAMS, RETREATS & TRAININGS  1.

In a year where we spend 8,720 hours doing, giving, working, caring, creating, mentoring (and sleeping) … and so much more … to  not create space to reflect on all we have done and who we have become, as well as recognize (and honor + receive) our impact, growth & progress, would be just plain crazy :) Plus honoring feels great! And when we pause to actually see and feel both the visible - but even more so the invisible - we actually RECEIVE energy in return in ways that make a big difference in how we experience our lives, world, wellbeing, security and satisfaction.   The energy and act of "Honoring" is one of the most powerful things we have access to, but that we often under use. Honoring is a form a love. It melts away the heavy feels, the judgements of not enough, the pressure to do more. It turns struggle into comfort and possibility.  I invoke the super power of honor every year at this time because I continue to see the power it has to open our hearts, lighten us up, fill us up and give us a way to start the next cycle radiant & clear, roooted in our enoughness. Which is why I am re-running this episode again this year - I just listened to it myself ... and again it really supported me to see and feel and VALUE the invisible things I've done PLUS see and acknowledge others in my lives for the invisible and important ways they show up. We think of honor as something someone else has to give to us - when in reality we have the power to bestow honor upon ourselves, in a healthy way, with humility and dignity.  There is so much to say about honor and what a super power it is. In this episode of Feminine Power Time - 258: The Year-End Honoring & Receiving Ritual - I'll walk you through this honoring ritual that I do every year for myself, 1:1 with others, with groups, so you can really FEEL the honor, shining a light in these three areas:  INVISIBLE INTERNAL GROWTH: the things you can't measure but have made a signficiant difference, especially all the internal shift and growth, and the things you do that can go unseen but matter alot INVISIBLE IMPACT ON PEOPLE & PLANET - how your presence and care has made a difference in real people's lives and the frequency of the planet  INCREMENTAL PROGRESS - celebrating how projects, goals, dreams, reality shifts are more in form today I love this ritual so much - May it fill you up with radiance, good vibes and a deep sense of how your presence, care, devotion, and choices matter. With heart, Christine P.S. SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH A FRIEND + DO AN HONORING RITUAL TOGETHER. Share what you are Honoring in these different areas for this year. Use the words "I am proud that ... I honor that..."

Imagine a world in which in December all humans turned their focus to connect to what matters, and worked with the energy of the season in ways that support their wellbeing in all ways. So come the start of the next linear calendar year, we all felt fresh, radiant, clear and centered ... ready to receive what is to come. We don't have to wait for that reality - we make it now. One of ways we 'do' this is to tap into the wisdom of "releasing practices".  Intentional reflections and actions we engage in as part of our December Downshifting that:  clear out any emotional, mental, relational or energetic "interference" you do NOT want to take into your next year cycle  create harmony in your relationships with people, your body, and your money, so you start the next cycle with more peace, and low to no drama  plant the seeds for what you want to manifest and experience next year in projects, career, relationships, so they are there waiting for you to re-engage with.       As I felt into what would serve us this year to release, I turned to the same three practices I do every December myself, and decided to re-run last year's episode because it's what is still needed: #257: Year-End Release to Feel the Peace: Clear Out Now So You're Set Up for Next Year. Consider this: The over-culture makes us think we have to keep creating new. But wisdom teachings and structures are timeless. So when we use the same basic structure year after year, we can relax into the known structure, but bring a different and fresh energy and focus year after year. This makes inner peace and releases internal pressure. Join me and I'll take you through 3 Releasing practices: Release Twiggly Danglers - clearing these out. Choose 1 relationship. Choose either your money or body and action to embrace the twiggly dangler into harmony. Release a Short & Transform the "Feels" Attached to It - choose one short - disappointment/failture/shortcoming that was related things out of your control, professionally, personally and in the bigger planetary reality. Release Threads of Possibility into Next Year - choose projects and relationships you want to put some energy into now, to see potentials for next year, so they are there waiting. I so love this practice! May it bring you peace, possibility and power.  Christine PS: LEAVE A REVIEW ABOUT WHAT FEMININE POWER TIME GIVES TO YOU. (thank you!) P.P.S..

The December Downshift is a practice we come back to year after year to signal to our internal systems (and the people and projects around us) that it's time to start the slow down vs. get swirled into the year-end or holiday madness, followed by new year start pressure. It's the cyclical co-creation rhythm and structure we practice to mimic the natural world, who has managed to prosper for billlions of year (and gives us a template for how to evolve, grow and thrive).   Think of the practice of downshifting at year end like driving a manual transmission car - you don't want to keep moving through Dec in 5th gear, at a high pace/ intensity/output still running on mental or emotional stressors from the weeks/months prior, and then hard downshift into neutral the last days of the year ... you'll blow out your system. And then likely need to recover from all the OVER indulging, doing, spending, connecting in the new year. So you start depleted vs. ready to receive.  It's a wiser to move through the gears one by one, over the course of weeks, so you can: savor your connections, deeply replenish, and receive from all you have created the previous 12 months. Making choices that support you to be healthy, clear and ready to receive inspiration, insight and clarity for focusing and co-creating next year. Every year while the process of year-end downshifting is the same (there are 4 phases of downshifting - relax, rest, replenish, regenerate), the flavor and focus is different based on that year.  This year ... I tuned into create this year's December Downshift practice for you and received these themes: PEACE, PRESENCE, PEOPLE + PROSPER. I'll guide you through two somatic meditations + help you put intentional & spacious structure into place for Dec + Jan in these parts: Relax to Release  Rest in Place  Replenish to Regenerate  Complete with the Holiday Self Sustainability Practice  For 15 years I've created this structure through December and January for the co-creators + people willing to do things differently, wiser. We'll be here again - keep tuning in weekly on the podcast + join us for the live happenings (see below).   With great heart, Christine  P.S.

Hello Dear Ones! After a month of being silent mode (and navigating a natural disaster) ... sitting with what words and wisdom wanted to emerge to support and guide us through these intense, transformative times... the inspiration came through for a 3-part series on Power ... specifically what I am calling "Genuine Power" - natural, innate, native power, different than authentic power and for sure different than distorted power. We are going to explore what genuine power looks and feels like ... what distorted, destructive power looks and feels like ... what is at the roots of both...  how do we open up our eyes to see and discern truth and reality .... and then how do we apply our co-creative power to reimagine the way we and this world work, now, from the inside out. This first episode in the series is #254: A Call to Honor, Humanity & Sanity.   Imagine this: What if in order to hold a position of power and leadership in any system - from a corporation to government to a family or community - a person had to meet the qualifications of embodying and expressing Honor, Humanity and Sanity ... and they also had to create an environment that instilled and cultivated those qualities in others?     Remember, the fertlizer to the see of new, elevated realities are to imagine it, bring language to it, and then through our voices, choices, presence, relations and projects, co-create it. In the podcast we will hone in on HONOR. HUMANITY. SANITY and use the power of the definitions below to bring forth the essence of what we are talking about what leadership - personal and systemic - looks and feels like when it's rooted in wholeness.  Genuine - native, natural, innate Honor - regard to respect. honesty. integrity. Honor is the harmony between humility and dignity.  Humility - freedom from false pride or arrogance, not equating worth to being better than Dignity - healthy self respect, quality of being worthy of honor  Sanity - health/healthy. the ability to think and behave in normal, reasonable manner, sound power of mind.  Humanity - man + earth, humane, to be a steward, to show care for other humans without regard to how their beliefs or choices may be different or similar to yours.  See you there! Christine Remember ... OUR POWER comes from connecting with heart and purpose with others, to support each other to stay light - centered, radiant, clear -- and to explore and conversate so we can co-create new realities into being.  ___ >>INSPIRED ACTIONS - Be an Agent of Elevation >> INSPIRED ACTION: Share this podcast with a friend.

Wise beings know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support us to grow our work, wealth and relationships, and to support our overall wellbeing, and keep us focused on what matters. Which is why at the quarter point shifts of the year - Solstices and Equinoxes - our personal leadership best practice (and one we can do with our teams and partners) is taking what I call a Power Pause. Equinoxes specifically are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter. In this episode we focus on the last quarter - between now and the end of the Roman calendar year (about 9 weeks) or between now and end of January, the start of the new lunar calendar year (about 12 weeks). Tune into this Power Pause and take a step back to get some perspective on the main parts of your whole life - your work in the world, your wellbeing foundation, your relationships and your personal growth / presence.   I will lead us through a creative inquiry process including somatic visualization to tune into and get clear on: Where you truly desire to focus your energy, time and resources this last part of the year - so you start the new year in a good space + create momentum for next year What two focus points - in your work in the world + your wellbeing foundation - matter most this last part of the year What two relationships - with an individual and with a group/team/family/system are imbalanced and need a reset.   See you there!  Christine  P.S.

So excited to be landing here with you on the 8th anniversary of The Feminine Power Time podcast for a special segue conversation and exploration we navigate and co-create the next - for ourselves, those we guide & influence and the world.  I have been asking myself, "What is next for this podcast? What is next for me? What is next for us?". Which led me to creating the centerpoint of our conversation today: "What is Evolving Within You?  Around You?" ...  How Do We Create Space for What's Next While Tending to the Now... How Do We Preserve What We've Already Created in Ways that Create Momentum?"  Another way of saying that to yoruself is ... "How do I allow the process to unfold through and around me ... stay attuned to my design ...  accept (savor) where I am, while expanding into what is possible, even while I cannot see cleary yet?"  Per usual here at Feminine Power Time, I will share less answers, and more inquiries and perspectives to support us to move through the shifts happening, supporting us to evolve so we can elevate, with grace, power, purpose, sustainability, compassion and wisdom.  First, a personal share on: My own evolution journey calling me to make shifts now that have been in motion for several years.  What changes and shifts of focus I am saying yes to + still exploring  How I am dancing between the next and the now Second, practices, inquiries and perspectives to support you to work with what is evolving WITHIN you and AROUND including:   Evolve from Essence  Create a co-creative incubator space to play, listen, not have to create or know  Bring language to what is at the center of your vocation, wellbeing & life for this next bigger cycle  Feel for where the flow is going and leading you to naturally 5 ways to preserve what you've created & garnered over the years, and receive from the momentum. Third, what's next for Feminine Power Time, starting with:  Season 8 1/2 vs 9, A Spacer for us all called A Season of Light Inviting you into a 3 month / moon cycle container devoted to those of us here on the planet to re-imagine, re-design and elevate - guiding, influencing, and supporting people and systems to elevate. Inquiries and wisdom to receive INSIGHT and WISDOM to keep your light bright, stay centered and attuned to your design, and evolve and elevate into the next expression. I look forward to sharing with you what's been on my heart for months now.  And for a Season of Light to come at a time those of us daring to do things differently and lead through our voices, choices and presence into the next era, can use as much light as we can open to receive.

As the world turns and shifts, things seem to go sideways, uncertainty rises, intensity & anxiety wratches up, how do you stay centered, calm and clear? How do you work WITH the energy vs be WORKED OVER by the energy?  These are fundamental inquiries and practices we have been exploring and implementing here at Feminine Power Time since we started this podcast in 2016 ... because we are in transformational times, and during such times, we need access to insight, tools and wisdom to dance through. Consider this: What if this cycle of time is about breaking free of systemic and self created patterns that no longer serve? So we can rise into realities rooted in harmony, sustainability, wholeness and connection? And while there may be forces that would do anything to keep things the same, the force of our collective heart power has the ability to lead the way forward into a better world for people & planet?  This is not wishful thikning or spiritual bypassing. It's co-creating the next while we stabilize in the now and heal from the past. Here's what we "do" ...  For this last part in our series, we will shine a light on some of the "Collective" patterns playing out - we are all influenced by these because we are part of the "WE" of people living on the planet. When you can name and see these patterns, they stop having power over you, and you gain power to lead your way and others way through.  Then I will share with you 3 'dance' patterns - wisdom to put it play within your life now  to dance through these collective shifts - these can support us to release the things we no longer neeed so we can be free to create and rise into this next evolution - of me + we.  Tune in to #3 of 3: Dancing Through The Collective Patterns Playing Out Join us for this year's annual Mid Year Power Pause - starts every June Solstice - to reflect, reset, refocus-  www.FlowPowerPause.com   Here's a sneak peek at the practices/patterns to put into play the rest of this year that I'll walk us through.  Be Here Now Take Space to Experiment Focus on Your Part and Purpose for this Next Cycle Preserve.

How do we breakthrough patterns and imprints that we are ready to release? What are the practices? What works? How does this invisible transformation actually work to make shifts in the material world? Consider this: Change takes place over time, but if we can't see the progress, we don't receive the energy we need to stay devoted and focused.   Good news - choosing to engage in what I call "Sacred Transformation" - yours and the worlds, isn't about waiting until all things are perfect and the way you'd like them to be ... that's a path for suffering for sure!  Sacred transformation - when you put the word sacred in front of transformation here's what you get: "change devoted to / for the sake of creating wholeness, without violence to self or others, done with respect." This is a way of working with and breaking through long-held pattern in way we can expereince, receive and I dare say enjoy (even in the struggle) all along the way.  As we see the shifts happening in little ways... we start to feel them in bigger ways... the dense shadow transforms with gratitude into a lighter brigthter frequency that maintains it's depth (and darkness now rooting in wholeness).... and we gain the energy to continue evolving and elevating. Tune in to #2 of 3: 3 Pratices for Breaking Through Patterns Ready to Release.

Shadow patterns. Self limiting imprints. Sabotaging cycles and habits. That we just can't shake or seem to breakthrough.... or maybe we just haven't had the holsitic approach and wisdom and tools to get to the roots of where the "shadow frequency" keeps us stuck in cycles that no longer serve us. Or maybe we've been working these patterns for decades, and we are now ready to truly break free + breakthrough. In this series: The Practice of Breakthroughing Patterns We No Longer Need, the last in our 8th season, we will take a 3-part journey to give you insight, wisdom and tools to:  See and NAME the patterns that no longer serve you, and that are ready to release to you can elevate into the next expression of your career, relationships, wellbeing, expression, relationships, wealth -- because it's time!  Break Apart the Old + Breakthrough to the New - breakthrough takes time and structure and focus, for which there are simple models and practices you can use.   Share the Common Collective Patterns Up For Breakthrough  - so you can surf with all of us to a better, elevated way vs. getting pulled under :) Consider this: You can't change what you cannot see or don't have language for. And if you are not consciously working with the unconscious imprints within you, they are working you! So let's embrace our power to transmute (elevate the frequency of) the patterns that may have served us at one time... and are not ready to be composted, with gratitude.  Tune in to #1 of 3: How to Reveal the Invisible Patterns Within You Ripe for Breakthrough where we set up the series + start to illuminate where to start looking for the patterns ready to come up and out of the shadow.  And join us for this year's annual 40-Day From Burnout to Balance Practice - www.burnouttobalancepractice.com   Here are some places to start looking  Where am I chasing, hoping, holding on, frustrated, resentful, pushing, struggling, proving, begging? Where am I OVER-giving and UNDER-receiving -- time, energy, money, care, mindshare? Who are the commong types of people I find myself in relationship with - personal and/or professional - that don't feel good, are imbalanced, or trigger me to chase, hope, frustrate...etc? What cycles keep repeating? In my relationships, work, finances, health? That may have a "blip" up, and shift slightly but not significant enough to make a true difference or be in alignment with what I desire, need and require. See you there! Christine  *** P.S.

Many of us operate like banks that give more withdrawls than deposits, resulting in imbalances in our relationships, wellbeing, money, jobs, businesses and projects that lead to undue suffering, struggle, and sacrifice.  We OVERgive - time, energy, resources, care, and mindshare -- to projects, people, our passion and our purpose. We UNDERReceive the time, energy, resources, care and mindshare we need and desire. As a result, eventually we burnout, become resentful, get sick and discouraged, or quit. We don't SEE the imbalance or the ways we OVEReffort, work, extend, etc. until we get to the drama, distress or dis-ease.   One of the breakthroughs I discovered in all my research around burnout and sustainable success and wellbeing is that we don't have to wait until the extreme imbalance hits our bodies, beings, bank accounts, relationships or brains. We can use the power of Cyclical Living to pause (usually around March Equinox) and take a look around our life, work, relational, & wellbeing design, illuminate the imbalances, and then take simple but significant steps to make shift happen.  Wisdom: If you can reveal the specific ways you overgive, you become empowered to shift the imbalances. Which is what we will do together in this Ep 234: Where Are You OVERGiving & UNDERReceiving? (#2 of 3 in Burnout to Balance Series). Where are you: Giving more than is needed? Giving more than is in harmony? Giving more than you can afford to give?  Over extending? Over compensating? Over efforting?  And then go deeper to reveal... Which OVERgiving imprints are running you, and where are the roots? Then you can make shifts that liberate you from patterns that don't serve anymore. Practices to re-wire the giving/receiving equations & expectations so the exchanges stay in balance vs become imbalanced. I do this survey of the landscape of my life, projects, relationships, purpose and work every year, because every year there is a new insight and something new to work with that supports me to do and see things differently. Tune in!  With heart Christine  p.s. TWO REQUESTS to help share the wisdom and connect with others. -- Share this with a friend and share your OVERgiving Imprints. Then you can support each other by giving each other permission to take the action that gets your giving and receiving into balance.  -- Leave a review with words that share why you listen or what others could expect.

Self esteem, self confidence, ability to take care of oneself, sovereignty, self sufficient ... these are all good things to possess and embody. Monikers of internal strength. However, when one thing become over-used or valued, or the other side of the spectrum isn't present, things get out of whack, our lives and bodies become imbalanced, and we get stuck in situations and chronic challenges that keep us in survival or stress mode. Consider this: "We have become so self-sufficient as self-empowered humans that we have become overly self-reliant." Most people I encounter suffer from this invisible dis-ease of Over Self Reliance, we feel it but don't have the words to see it, and therefore transform it. We become so used to doing whatever needs doing, we don't pause to consider what help we need to do it. We don't consider if we don't have the resources we need, maybe we shouldn't take it on. We've grown so accoustomed to fight for what we need or just barely scrape by that we've gotten used to making do and doing more ourselves. And honestly, there have been many times you and I have needed support or help, and it just wasn't there. That has been our shared reality. Yet, we are each being invited to shake off the over-self-reliance to find a more balanced exchange ... even if we cannot see how that is possible, yet.   Ask yourself: Where may I be operating from over self-reliance? One I may have needed before, but that now, at this phase in my reality, is not serving me?  WISDOM: Where you are OVER self-reliant, you are also UNDER supported, UNDER cared for and UNDER connected. Today we kick off a series I've named From Burnout to Balance ... to illuminate the invisible ways we are operating like banks giving more withdrawls than receiving deposits, resulting in imbalances that lead to undue suffering, struggle, and sacrifice. We start with Ep 233: Goodbye OVER Self-Reliance where we dive into: How Over-Self Reliance manifests - once you name it you gain the power to shift i Acknoweldging the truth of the over self-reliance and why it's been real for you   Opening up to doing things differently going forward - and rebalance. I will also walk you through inquiries to get clear on where over self-reliance is impacting you. Together we can all release this generational pattern and find the new ways to create relationships and realities that by nature create harmony and balance. So your radiance, briliance and light is supported for many years to come. See you there,  Christine  P.S.->> Request - Share this podcast with one person and then connect and share where the OVER Self Reliance is, what the cost has been, and what it's time to do differently.  ____ *** WAYS TO GO DEEPER  From Burnout to Balance 40 Day Practice - starts in March   Align to Your Design - Career & Life Design Mentoring & Consulting with Christine - https://christinearylo.com/align-to-your-design-career-leadership-mentorship/ *** PRACTICES + RESOURCES FROM SHOW Receiving Mantra : I am held.

Every year in January I wait to do a special Feminine Power Time that looks into the year ahead - to give us wisdom, insight, focus and practices for the now, and what's coming next. 2024 is an 8 year - connected to the energy of Internal Strength + Shining our Light while making sure we are deeply rooted into what keeps us centered, stable, vibrant and aligned. It's also a wood Dragon year - which signals transformative growth and elevation, supported by the feminine (water) and strong natural structure (earth). These archetypes + what the natural cycles are indicating + the commonalities I am sensing form the themes, focuses and inquiries I'll share with you. Tune in for this year's Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead - in two parts. Part 1 focusing on giving you insight into the bigger meta themes + powerful inquiries you want to be asking yourself so you co-create a reality that keeps you centered, aligned, radiant and stable as you let go + grow. Episode #231: Finding Your Strength in The Stretch. Wisdom to Consider: Stability & safety cannot be created in the mind. Stability & safety can come through the body, which then informs and calms the mind and heart. Note: If you are listening to this later, no worries, it is still all relevant. It's about reading the signs all around us, feeling the knowings within us, and then being WISE about what is happening in the world and how we desire and choose to show up. Themes Emerging as we Find Our Strength in the Stretch.  Stay Light. Stay Awake. Stay Aware. Create the Next while Savoring the Now.  Create a Strong Root System that Supports your Stability - mind, body, heart, spirit. Work & live in rhythm with the natural cycles to create a reality that has harmony, even within the chaos.  Let go to Grow. Strengthen your Connection & Practices. Tune in with me. Bring paper to write the themes & Wisdom inquiries to contemplate (also posted below). See you there! Christine p.s. CREATE CONNECTION + ELEVATION --> Share this podcast with a Friend or partner. Use the inquiries below to gain clarity on what will support you each to find your strength in the stretch. **** CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY + CO-CREATING SUPPORT  1. Feminine Wisdom Way 2024 - Vision. Lead.

What parts of me or ways I operate need to be let go or shapeshiftd so I can evolve &  elevate? 2. What can I lean into to keep me stable as I stretch to grow & let go?  3. What support & structure can I root into to cultivate harmony within me, so I stay centered mind, body, heart and spirit this year? 4. Where am I still trying to do it on my own?

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head. DON'T: Let the chaos and pressure of the world, or the should's of your self-induced pressure swirl you up or stop you from breaking through to more elevated, expanded, supportive realities.  DO: Turn inward, tune into your heart and tap into your deeper wisdom and desires. Dare to let those inspire and guide you. DO: Choose to tune into Wisdom with a capital W before you choose your focuses for this year... you know that higher guidance trying to get your attention, saying "Focus here! Here is where the flow and momentum are!"    Wisdom teaches us to use the power and practice of "inquiry" to consider the path before moving into action... which results in more easeful effort, sustainable success + fluid efficiency (plus delight, which we need during challenging times, to keep us going!) One way you can do this is the Year-End Power Pause - taking the full month of January to 'tune in' - feel, sense, tap into intuition and the heart -- to find clarity on your intentions, what's in right timing, and what support & structure you need to receive for the coming year. If we want to access Wisdom vs. just more mental ideas, we need to FEEL not THINK our way forward. CONSIDER THIS: Your mind can only create what it's done or seen before. If we want things to be different, we have to go deeper - into our hearts, bodies, and "subtle energy" realms. In January, I always do a Power Pause episode that takes us through a series of wisdom inquires to contemplate. This year we will use 2 inquiries, and use them to tune into the 4 realms of your whole life. What is matters most to me this year?  Where is the momentum calling me, pulling me, moving me?  Every year the inquires are different, because every year, we need different inquiries to lead us to the aligned possibilities and most supported actions. I comb through the inquiries we use in the EMERGE Visioning Process + the women's leadership councils, to find the ones to open your visioning, intention setting & focusing for the year to come.  Tune in for episode 230:Year Start Power Pause: Tune into What Matters Most & Where the Momentum Is. See you there! Christine >>p.s. BE AN ELEVATOR, SHARE THIS PODCAST WITH ONE PERSON -- Just share, or dare create connection by 'doing' the inquiries together.  ___ PROGRAMS, RETREATS & TRAININGS  1.

Purposeful Patience. What is it? How can we work with it? And why is it something you might benefit from putting into practice in how you approach how you go about achieving your goals + bringing your ideas, desires and projects into fruiition + creating a consistent sense of wellbeing, even during intensity and uncertainty? Just that :) For the past two years I have been practicing Purposeful Patience. It was the theme and mantra in 2022. Each year I/we choose/receive a yearly theme/centerpoint in the Emerge Visioining Process - like "The Year of Purposeful Patience" or  "The Year of Embodying Radiant Grace." (2021) or "Creating & Receiving from Momentum" (2023)  I decided to replay this episode of Feminine Power Time: 200: Purposeful Patience: Practicing the Ease Over the Rush, because I needed it again this year ... and I thought you might benefit as well. I love the practice of choosing a centerpoint and over-arching theme and then working with it intentionally all year. It becomes a guidepost and a portal into deeper wisdom that can support us to create realities that are more aligned with our design and desires. If you stick with it as an active practice, by the end of the year, you have SO much more embodied wisdom, trust and insight on how to do things differently. Somethings to know about Purposeful Patience. Purposeful patience is not sitting around waiting for life to happen. It's not a platitude like "Patience is a Virutue." Purposeful patience is a co-creative choice to live in alignment with the natural flow and unfoldment of your life, purpose, projects, and processes. The practice of purposeful patience reduces anxiety, the wasting of resources and time, and the self-inflicted pressure that stresses our minds, bodies, hearts, and spirits.   Consider this: Would you more ease (comfort and convenience) or more rush (haste, progress with speed and violence), hustle (shake, push, shove), or busy (meddlesome, toil) in your life this next year?  Here's some of what we'll explore:  Difference between easing into vs. hustling or rushing into year / week / day The practice of Staying in "neutral" and 'upshifting'  Playing and staying in the Void Discerning if you are pushing something forward or something is pulling you forward The dance of Stillness and Swiftness  A few pearls of wisdom to play with and try on: Don't rush into a decision just to have things more fixed and secure once again.  Take the space to listen, imagine and moodle - even if it's uncomfortable.  Inquiry leads to clarity. Creativity opens the portal of possibliity which leads to more easeful productivity. And two co-creative practices: I wonder...? Am I pushing this or is it pulling me?   Enjoy playing with purposeful patience in your life - love to hear what you learn.  See you there Christine  p.s.

In a year where we spend 8,720 hours doing, giving, working, caring, creating, mentoring (and sleeping) … and so much more … to  not create space to reflect on all we have done and who we have become, as well as recognize (and honor) our impact, growth & progress, would be just plain crazy :) Plus honoring feels great! The energy and act of "Honoring" is one of the most powerful things we have access to, but that we often under use. Honoring is a form a love. It melts away the heavy feels, the judgements of not enough, the pressure to do more. It turns struggle into comfort and possibility.  I invoke the super power of honor every year at this time because I continue to see the power it has to open our hearts, lighten us up, fill us up and give us a way to start the next cycle radiant & clear, roooted in our enoughness. We think of honor as something someone else has to give to us - when in reality we have the power to bestow honor upon ourselves, in a healthy way, with humility and dignity.  There is so much to say about honor and what a super power it is. In this episode of Feminine Power Time - 229: The Year-End Honoring Ritual - I'll walk you through this honoring ritual that I do every year for myself, 1:1 with others, with groups, so you can really FEEL the honor, shining a light in these three areas:  INVISIBLE: the things you can't measure but have made a signficiant difference, especially all the internal shift and growth, and the things you do that can go unseen but matter alot IMPACT ON PEOPLE & PLANET - how your presence and care has made a difference in real people's lives and the frequency of the planet  INCREMENTAL PROGRESS - celebrating how projects, goals, dreams, reality shifts are more in form today I love this ritual so much - May it fill you up with radiance, good vibes and a deep sense of how your presence, care, devotion, and choices matter. With heart, Christine P.S. SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH A FRIEND + DO AN HONORING RITUAL TOGETHER. Share what you are Honoring in these different areas for this year. Use the words "I am proud that ... I honor that..."

Imagine living the full month of December intentionally - connected to what matters, working with the energy of the season in ways that support your wellbeing in all ways - emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, spiritually and relationally. So come the start of the next roman calendar year, you felt fresh, radiant, clear and centered ... ready to receive what is to come. Consider this Wisdom: In the absence a different option, we often revert to what we've done before or what the pull of the mainstream culture dictates. Only when you have a different choice, with practical application and things to 'do,' do you break free of unsupportive patterns and habits, and gain the power to create the reality you desire to be living.  I know... that is a big piece of wisdom to take it. Because it's so foundational. Which is why this month, I'm dedicating the entire set of podcasts to things you can 'do' in December at year end that support you to complete the year strong, clear, proud and connected to what matters .... vs. the alternative of the crazy banana world that has so many options and distractions that cause us to drain our energy, bank accounts, life force, etc. and OVER excess in ways that can never quell the deeper desire underneath. In this episode of Feminine Power Time - 228: The Year-End Release: Clear Out Now So You're Set Up for Next Year, I will walk you through 3 practices I do every December to: clear out any emotional, mental, relational or energetic "interference" you do NOT want to take into your next year cycle  create harmony in your relationships with people, your body, and your money, so you start the next cycle with more peace, and low to no drama  plant the seeds for what you want to manifest and experience next year in projects, career, relationships, so they are there waiting for you to re-engage with.       I'll share and take you through 3 Releasing practices: Release Twiggly Danglers - clearing these out. Choose 1 relationship. Choose either your money or body and action to embrace the twiggly dangler into harmony.

Imagine a world in which in addition to math, we and all children were taught about how to work with and apply magic to our day to day lives. Not to pull coins out of our ears, or cast spells on people, but the TRUE meaning and energy of magic.  In this world, people know, trust and value tuning into the subtle realms of insight, feeling, senses, intuition, grace - things we can't see with our eyes but we for sure feel with our bodies and hearts. In this world, synchroncity is the flow for how we roll. No pushing rocks up hills or over-asserting wlll to make stuff happen.  When we work with true magic, the elements work with us and with us to create more ease, alignment and grace, even in the tricky, challenging parts.  You know here at Feminine Power Time we are not waiting for others to create this world, we are choosing to re-imagine, re-design and co-create the realities we know are possible now.... which can also be tricky and challenging.  Magic helps us notice and recognize patterns. One pattern I see is how many of us are experiencing the call to / need to LET GO and RELEASE things - relationships to others, to organziations, to how we do things, how we think, where we live, how we live, what we do for work, how we communicate, etc (also tricky and challenging .... hear the theme?) As we get the call to release the old, what no longer serves, what needs to shift, etc. we often resist and struggle, we can get lost and confused, we can give up defeated, and waste alot of life force. SO how about this ... Tune into Feminine Power Time Episode #224: The Magic of Letting Go: The 5Gs for Releasing with Grace.  (#1 of 3 in Practical Magic Series).  I thought, it's time for calling in the Magic ... to show us how we can go through changes where we must let go of what has been to be open to receiving the new (takes oodles of trust). Bring whatever shift, change, letting go is showing up for you. We'll go through 5Gs of Releasing with Grace, in ways that keep you centered in the now, while living into the next. See you there!  Christine  PS: SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH A FRIEND -- and consider sharing what you are RELEASING and opening up to RECEIVING, and what you need to TRUST in the process. _____ RESOURCES 1..

The New Moon Reset is one of those practices that if you weave it into the rhythm of your life, you won't believe how you could have ever lived without it. It's a must for those of us who choose to cultivate a centered, connected, clear presence and perspective, even within the chaos.  During these times, we can expect the world is going to go wavy gravy ... that humans are going to horrible things to other humans and the planet ... that the changes we are going through are individually and collectively are going to stir up anxiety, fear and all the feels.  It won't always be this way (AND we are in transitory times), and there are many other really beautiful signs that humanity is elevating, choosing love and compassion ... the mainstream news just doesn't cover those so much (which is why we create alternatives which do!)  A question to ask ourselves is - how do we choose to walk through these times? How can we be with what is, and also keep our fierce hearts open, faced forward, our vision for what is possible alive, and our thoughts clear? How do we stay light and lifted when the world or people go low?  A response is: we lean into, apply, and use the practices rooted in wisdom for how we as people and planet naturally work best. Not as more to do's, but as the HOW we do our daily, weekly, monthly, yearly lives and how we make our choices, big and small... so we can show up as the leaders, co creators and elevators.  Ep 223 of Feminine Power Time: The New Moon Reset is one of our Stay Harmonized Practice episodes, where I share/teach a specific practice and then use the power of inquiry, transmissions and somatic experience to make it real and relevant to you today. Tune into today and: Get the wisdom scoop on why resetting at new moon is SO wise (and feels so good) Receive a new moon reset - body ,mind, heart and spirit Learn how you can apply the new moon energy to projects, wellbeing and staying present to what is happening in the world, without becoming overwhelmed and taken down by it Receive the new moon transmission connected to the energy of the super power of Crazy Wisdom - to bolstser up your courage and clear out clutter  See you there!

Wise beings know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support us to grow our work, wealth and relationships, and to support our health, and keep us focused on what matters. Which is why one of my top three pratices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm and stay on the path of sustainable success, impact and wellbeing in the "Power Pause" + why I created the next two episodes for you, which are really more like a mini retreat.  Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times. Equinoxes are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter. The theme of Sept Equinox is always Harvest. This year, I added the themes of HONOR +  RECEIVE + CREATE THE NEXT WHILE LIVING THE NOW - because I feel like these are the energies and equations that will most support us in this cycle. Tune into this Power Pause and learn some about: Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year  Making the invisible and the internal visible  - so we can feel it and value it  Honoring the process vs the product  I will lead us through a 3 inquiry process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL and register in your body, brain and being:  How the energy and effort and focus you have given is returning harvest to you (but you have to pause to receive the harvest)  That you have been stretched & chosen to stretch - so you can harvest the strength & keep the wisdom gained.  You are supported & sustained in so many ways - but you have to soak it in to believe it.  See you there!  Christine  P.S.

Self Empowerment.... Be Empowered... Own your Power ... Stand in your power ... these are words that we see and hear alot more these days, but what does embodying our power really mean? What is self-empowerment? What does sovereignty have to do with all of this? How do you know if you are coming from your pure power rooted in wholeness or distorted power rooted in woundedness? How do you reveal where you are giving your power away - leaking power - in subtle but signifcant ways? I've been exploring, researching and teaching self-empowerment as one of the 10 branches of self-love for over a decade.  I started studying power and realized pretty quickly how distorted our cultural concepts and expressions of power are. And I dove deep into where we as humans, give away our power in unconscious ways. Or express power in distorted ways that actually diminish our influence. Most of us are blind to where we lack self empowerment or we give away our power, or over-rely on distorted power in ways that don't serve us. All of which has a big impact on our careers, relationships, wellbeing, financial reality - we just don't see the connection with the 8th branch of self-love, self-empowerment. Which is why I over the years I have created new defintions of power and sovereignty, practices to strengthen both, and ways to reveal where our leaks and strengths lie. And why I decided to re-run this episode - as a self-empowerment check up! Originally part of the Self Love Series Episodes #178-181. Here is an appetizer for starters - the definition of self-empowerment I crafted as part of the self-love tree: Self-empowerment is choosing to take care of and responsiblity for your life by acting to create the life you really desire, without apology or requiring approval from others.  In this episode of Feminine Power, Self Empowement: How Are You Leaking Your Power or Discounting Your Value? : Define Self Empowerment and Sovereignty 5 Signs of a strong self-empowerent and 5 signs of weak self empowerment  Difference between 'power' that is reckless , suppressed or distorted in you, and power rooted in wholeness  5 Power Leaks - which are affecting you How this all shows up in our careers, life choices, and relationships to others, ourselves and the organizations we work in/with How to speak from and stand in your pure power in everything from relationships to salary negotiations without being an ass or a pushover. I'll guide you through some self-reflection inquiries as well. If you have the Madly in Love With ME book or Overwhelmed and Over It, grab them as I'll be referencing them in our conversation and exploration.  And come over the Feminine Wisdom Cafe where I've posted the full definition of Sovereignty and we're inviting everyone to share what Sovereignty means to them.  See you there!

Have you ever considered that while we can do and be anything, you can't do it all at the same time. And honestly, if it's not in your design, even if you make it to your goal, it will feel empty and your lifeforce & energy will be emptied. The dance between your soul path and career path is where the magic, meaning and sustainability live. Do you know what your soul path has to do with charting your career path and allowing it to unfold for you?  This is a pretty big topic, which could be it's own series. But I sat with what would most serve us to dive into support you in the NOW while you create the next ... in your career path, your life design and the way you focus your leadership for the most meaningful impact.   Imagine a world in which we grew up understanding our soul path... and had tools for staying on it, staying true to ourselves, knowing ourselves, defining success for ourselves, trusting ourselves, and making choices that were in alignment for our unique design, even if that meant disappointing another, distrupting the status quo, or daring to step out of our comfort zone, and into uncharted territory.  That's what we are up to in this Feminine Power Time: #219: How Your Soul Path & Career Path Dance Together. #3 of 3 in the Align to Your Design Series. Consider this: The invisible - mystical, intuitive within you - is as powerful & essential as the visible - material, intellectual imprinted into you - to making choices that keep you aligned to your unique and true carer path & life design.   When you sense & feel forward vs. just think forward, you naturally create in tune with your dharma, desires and destiny. Some of what we will explore:      Soul Path - what is it? how do you know yours? what's soul have to do with our career? Dharma - what is your natural path and essence? why can't you do and be anything?     Self-Love & Career Choices - how can too much Self-Esteem, or not enough Self-Acceptance & Self-Awareness guide you or distract you?   Desires - how do you discern between the ego & distorted willpower, and what's in alignment with your heart & soul? Evolution Cycles & Soul Curriculum - what is your soul path, curriculum to both receive and give? how do you make sure you don't overstay in situations, cycles or orgs or indiv relationships no longer in alignment with your soul path?   I as usual make this all personal with a series of illumination inquries, woven throughout that you can take into your life, contemplate, journal and conversate them with another to bring forth the wisdom your soul truth is wanting to show you.  See you there!

Have you ever considered how the work you do and the way you work could be different IF you & all people put your WELLBEING at the center?  Imagine if our culture embraced that all humans are designed differently, which means what supports our wellbeing - mind, body, heart, spirit - will be different. Therefore, the way we work, and the environments we work within need to be flexible, fluid and responsive to the different kinds of work styles required to empower and enable diverse humans to thrive.  Imagine a world in which we defined work not just by what we did to receive money, but all the ways in which we give our energy, care, time to a system, including care-giving & creative expression, as well as the jobs & roles we play within organizations and professions.   Then remember this: You and I have the power to co-create culture.  Culture is defined as: the total range of activities and ideas of a group of people with shared traditions, which are transmitted and reinforced by members of the group. The root of the word culture means to "cultivate a place" or "to till a place." Like a field.    Our power starts with choosing to intentionally cultivate the culture of our individual place/reality. Then the family/relational systems we live in. Then the team ecosystem we work in. Then the organizational, community & social ecosystems we swim in.  Consider this: Rather than wait for the big ecosystem to shift to creating a culture who builds how we work based on what we need as humans to cultivate and maintain a strong foundation of wellbeing... we can embrace our power of "harmonic defiance" and make small shifts that lead to bigger shifts to bring how we work and where we work into alignment with all realms of our wellbeing.     As Glinda the Good Witch says to Dorothy "You had the power within you all along!" My role is illuiminating where that personal power is. Tune into #2 of 3 in our series: Align to Your Design. Episode #218: Align Your Work with Your Wellbeing, We'll explore these 3 realms to illuminate the way you are designed to work best, liberate you from what doesn't align, and then begin to take small but significant steps to bring your reality into alignment with your design now: Rhythm     Roles Radiance  We'll also explore and illuminate what must be present for you in the environments you work within in order for you to truly thrive. It's like being an orca in the ocean ... what needs to be true about the environment, other creatures, & your part in where and how you work going forward?  See you there! Christine P.S.

Every year around the day known as Independence Day in America, I like to tap into the energy of freedom and liberation to bring forth the wisdom, practices and inspiration for all of us ... so we can use the freedom mojo to break free from what might be holding us back, and liberate us to imagine and design the path and possibility forward.  This is a co-creative practice - a practice I engage in to co create the now and the next. I come back to this liberation and freedom energy every year at this time because if we are evolving, stretching and expanding we can expect resistance and struggle, but we don't want it to stop us. One way we exterminate the interference is by expanding so much into the possibility, it just cannot take the light!  This year I was really feeling we could all use a boost of heart power to clear out the interference and break our consciousness & creativity free, so we can feel the possibility as reality, so much so that it gives us momentum to fuel and focus us forward.   Consider this: The consciousness that got you here, cannot take you to what you are thirsting for, what's calling you, what you want to feel and experience next. But if you are feeling it within you, it is real. So we expand to elevate.  Here's the 3 parts we'll explore and bring into your life now in practical ways to  Interference -  The unconcious stuff that keep us stuck in patterns and realities that we no longer desire or no longer serve. Imprints like the solo-solitude or scarcity trap. Internal inteference like constraints and conflict that bind us up vs open us up. When you see the interfernce, you can move beyond it, otherwise you just get "goobered" up and stuck in it (very technical term lol). Imagine - What you are seeking is also seeking you. When you name it and speak it, from a deep place of self worth and empowerment it's like you are painting that reality through your radiance and passion into the world. I'll teach you a practice that invokes the power of Invitation & Radiant Magnetism. Design - It's not a magical manifestation trick, it's a co-creative path and practice we engage in actively to bring this into being. From the power of invitation to exploration to experimentation, it takes courage and clarity and conscious creation and creativity. But that is part of the gift ... the question is will we dance with the Universe or try to control it and therefeor kill it? Join me for episode #216: Invoke Your Power To Expand Your Possibility & Reality - a liberation and invitation boost from the heart.  See you there! Christine P.S.

At the start and midpoint of the year I always like to pause and put on my "wisdom goggles" to see what is really going on in the world - behind what we can see what our logical eyes or within the our day to day lives. I do this because it helps me see the bigger patterns that are going on... to see beyond the screens of frenzy and chaos ... and to see how what i call 'the banana world' is affecting me in ways I may not be noticing.  I also take this pause with my super powered wisdom goggles to trace where the energy is going in the collective culture ... and how and if I want to respond to it. Which informs me so much on how I choose to focus my life force.  I created this Feminine Power Time #214: Feminine Wisdom for Living in a Banana World, as a sort of mini power pause to stop and take a look around you and what is happening in the world ... not to be overwhelmed by it, but as an observer who is at choice about how you want to interact within it. I invite you into this practice today as one of the primary practices you can strengthen to stay rooted and stable in the now, while you navigate the new, and make sure you don't get affected or infected by the banana world energy that can drain you and distract you without you even realizing it. Come play with me the "What am i Noticing?" game. Learn about some of our super cool wisdom tools - such as the wisdom googles, the overview pattern seer and the frequency detector.  Hear what I am seeing in and outside of the banana world, and use my insights to support you in any way that resonates Contemplate the liberating wisdom teaching : "Be in the world, but not of the world."  I also will walk you through a process/meditation that cues you into how the banana world might be amping up unhelpful energies for you ... in whatever threshold or challenges and changes you may be in... and then take you through a 4-step practice I call Fear Shifting.  See you there!  Christine  p.s.

One of the biggest reasons so many of us can feel so busy, overwhelmed, fragmented, pulled in a million directions ... like no matter how hard we work or how much we do, we just can't reach our goals ... is because we are operating from half-power vs. whole-power. So we over work, over effort, try to do too much, choose careers  or paths that are not aligned for us. We operate like speed boats vs sail boats - we are moving so fast, focused on the next, we can't even savor what we've worked so hard or given so much to create or take care of. Or we are adrift like lost boats out at sea, without the focus and intentional steps to ride the waves and let the wind carry us to our aligned path. There is a different way ... if we can access some of our full power spectrums. I'm over the moon excited to share with you two power spectrums that give us a path to Do Less. Receive More. Achieve a Greater Impact (while savoring the process!)  1: Strategic Surrender 2: Focused Fluidity Tune into #3 of 3 in our What is the Feminine? And why do we need it? Series. #213: The Power of Strategic Surrender & Focused Fluidity. These two power spectrums brings in the feminine, marry it with the masculine. and creates the HOW we can stay focused on our goals, missions, people we care for ... in a way that we can savor the process... make progress through momentum ... and achieve the kind of success that includes wellbeing of planet and people. Consider this: Success without wellbeing, or having the space to savor the process, is not success.  Some of what we will dive into...  How to go from making it happen to focusing on what matters now Revealing whether you are too strategic and focused or surrendered and fluid Learning what RBG and sailboats can teach us about sustainable success, purposeful patience, and working in smart ways that focus our resources + leave room for synchronicity and divine timing  I will also walk you through applying the power of strategic surrender + focused fluidity to an area of your life now.  See you there.

Can you re-imagine a world in which our intuition is valued as much as our intellect? Where young women and girls, and all humans, are taught how to discern between their internal knowing, wisdom and truth? Make decisions that not only make logical sense, they make heart sense .... the kind that keeps us aligned on our path ... the kind that gives us the courage to speak up, stand up and do things differently? I think we can co create this reality now - but we need new language, understanding and each other.   Consider this: There is SO much power in expanding our understanding, trust in and value system of what true intelligence is. So much power in doing what Joesph Campbell called following your bliss, and what I call follow your heart wisdom AND don't be a dummy pants :)  So much power in knowing how to tune into the 4 parts of our full spectrum of intelligence - instincts, intuion, insight and intellect.  Self trust. Creative strategic planning that supports creativity + productivity. Making choices in careers, & relationships that lead to less suffering & anxiety and more aliveness and ways to express our creative genius.. Speaking up. Just to name a few.   The mind & intellect are not built to tap into creativity and possibility, or even make wise choices. Our minds can only see what we've done before or seen others do. The intellect alone will make all kinds of things that are bad for our world (atomic bombs and AI to name two).   When we choose to honor, value, access, embody, employ this feminine energy of intuitive intelligence & heart wisdom... we open up the field of possibilty and creativity... we bring more heart power onto the planet... and the Universe starts showing up to show us the way to create realities that reflect the good and beautiful in humanity. Tune into the second in the series is 212:  The Power of Intuitive Intelligence & Heart Wisdom  Some of what we will dive into...  How to play with your intuition and intellect so they work together for you - so you don't get stuck in being over rationale ... or ungrounded in wishful thinking My 4 Eyes model for accessing the full spectrum of intelligence ... which give you access to Wisdom and a higher level of intelligence Why the mental mind is not the place to look if you want to do things differently - and where to look instead What is heart wisdom, how do you follow it?  I will also walk you through a short 4 inquiry contemplation to apply heart wisdom and intuitive intelligence. See you there. Christine  p.s.  >> REQUEST - SHARE this with a friend and then do the heart wisdom tune in together.  ____ UPCOMING EXPERIENCES   Mid Year Power Pause - Reset. Realign.

I named the podcast Feminine Power Time for a reason. Even though the word 'feminine' throws or turns off many people (which is part of the reason I knew I needed to keep the name!) Even those of us that get to a point in which we get we need the feminine, want it and cherish the feminine can have a hard time understanding what it is, practically.   What do you do with the feminine?  How can it help me in my career? My relationships? Choices?  Is it really even relevant to business? and big issues like global warming and the education and safety of our children?  The short answer. Yes. We are just very ignorant (and imprinted) to not value or understand it.  One of my supers powers is taking big concepts and esoteric wisdom and breaking them down. Putting language, visuals, practices, models to it, so we can access this really potent wisdom and energy in our lives, and for all that we care about in the world.  The "feminine" first found me in 2006, after my first super woman sob in which all I was trying to do to have success in my business, mission and life was not working (more on that in the podcast). Since then, I have studied it, explored it, experimented, and been educated and initiated into some of the most powerful energy I didn't know existed, but that was there within me all along.  For 17 years, I have seen how the feminine is the medicine needed to end at least two big epidemics - 1. burnout of the planet and people 2. the 'not enoughness' that drives so many peoople and young girls to so much unnecessary anxiety, self judgement, etc.  I also believe with all my heart that if we embody and apply the feminine, it brings the distortions of our current systems and society into balance and harmony ... and we start seeing HOW to create different realiities, that are rooted in value systems that honor the wellbeing of all people and this planet. This is not airy hope ... this is practical application of straight up wisdom. Tune in and join me for our inagural series in our 8th year ... What is the Feminine and Why Do We Need it?      The first in the series is 211:  The Power of Stillness & Space Holding. I will set us up for the series + we will dive into more including: Going from Ready, Fire, Aim --> Intend, Aim, Release (it's a get out of the jail of overwhelm, busyness freedom card)  The Feminine Leadership Archetype of Space Holder   The Power Spectrum of Stillness and Swiftness to get into aligned action Why you only want to do the Hustle if you are dancing :)  The feminine does like to be a bit of a mystery - so less words and bullet points. You will just have tune in for more.  See you there. Christine  p.s.  >> REQUEST - Please SHARE this with a friend and then talk about Space Holder and Stiliness and Swiftness. CONVERSATION STARTERS: Where are you under-valuing your Space Holder leadership and expression? what do you choose to value differently as an act of Harmonic Defiance?

There is a lot of talk & information about wellbeing, presence, mindfulness, getting good sleep, eating well and self-care ... alot of which can be good and helpful, and alot can also be overwhelming and like more to do's in an already full life. Here at Feminine Power Time we get to the roots of wellbeing by applying wisdom to the choices we make every day ... including the practices, choices and routines that have way more influence over how we feel, how we show up,  and how others perceive and receive us than we know. As we embark on our 8th year here at Feminine Power Time - I wanted to take a pause to bring practical application to our theme for this year: Rooting and Rising in Radiance, that enables and empowers us to actually live that theme into reality.  It's the choices we make in our every day that determine how we feel and live throughout our days.  Contemplate this: Which every day choices are supporting your radiance + your capacity to show up as your best self? Which are draining your radiance or driving you to react to people or situations that does not reflect your best self?   When I say "practice" it can help to think about practices in two categories:  Proactive and Preventative: Put these into your daily, weekly and monthly rhtyhm to keep your life force and radiance strong, so you are more able and likely to show up as the calm, clear, grounded, radiant, powerful presence that is you. Pull On In the Moment : Use these in the moments you get triggered, pinched, swirled up, overwhelmed, full of emotion or feelings of anxiety or frustration. They will give you a  path to move through the trigger or wobble, and recenter. So you can respond vs. react to a situation or a person. Tune into episode #210 - Keep Your Radiance Strong & Light  - 3 Practices to Play With and then try these three practices in your day to day. These are three practices I use in  my day to day too! Relax. Rest. Regenerate. The Daily & Weekly Bookend Eliminate & Release. Release & Embrace. Choose a time span to play with. Emote to Elevate. Ask someone to be a space holder for you or play with this through journaling, movement or self recorded speaking. I so look forward to sharing this wisdom with you, and hearing what happens as you play with them.  Christine  ***** RESOURCES Overwhelmed and Over It Book - Section 2 - www.OverwhelmedandOverIt.com Episode #117 The Practice of Downshifting - https://christinearylo.com/2020/03/superpower-practices-for-staying-centered-calm-and-clear-1of3/ CONNECT Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinearylo/ Instagram: @christinearylo Feminine Wisdom Cafe - private online community off social media: www.FeminineWIsdomcafe.com You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChristineArylo    

It's hard to believe that today I can share with all of you that this month marks the 7th year anniversary of Feminine Power Time, and since I believe in living by the wisdom, perspectives and practices I share and we work with here, I invite you to join me for the kind of pause that would do us all (and the world) so much good... One: Pausing to Savor what we create. Acknowledge what is already here. Which in our case is a still very relevant Wisdom Library on topics ranging from self-love to sacred work & careers to intuition & making wise choices to feminine super powers & liberating ourselves from burnout to redefining success & embracing our power of harmonic defiance, and so much more.  I'm curious for you... what milestone are you moving through right now? Something you could pause and savor and acknowledge, even if it's not 'done'?   Two: Pausing to consider what's needed & what we desire to do with the creations we've given our energy to. Find the wisdom for how we grow through momentum, using the principles of Cyclical Living & Co-Creative Pathing. In our case, how can Feminine Power Time serve you, me and the world in this next year (it's 8th year).   Tune in with me for this special episode of Feminine Power Time: The 7th Anniversary Milestone: What We've Created & Where We Go From Here.  You will notice Feminine Power Time has received: an elevation & expansion in her external expression to match the internal frequency of the depth, breadth and energy we cultivate here  - ie. check out the new podcast website, logo and banner branding, www.FemininePowerTime.com   a Series Library - so you can access the episodes within a particular topic or share a topic with someone in an easy way vs. having to go through all 253+ episdoes  the Full Library - access to all episodes + my blogs searchable by date and topics  Four parts to our conversation & exploration that will provide the focus and format for the next year: One: I'll share how I am using the wisdom for sustainable success and growing our projects & missions & desires through momentum with Feminine Power Time now and the next - and how you can use this for your own creations & desires: Releasing Procrastination, perfection, plans + embracing the path and co-creative practice Cyclical 10 Count - natural growth cycles of 10 years Creating from momentum to rise into radiance vs stay stuck in status quo or blow  it all up Two: Theme for our 8th year - Rooted and Rising in our Radiance Three: Foundation and Focus Going Forward  Centerpoint - Re-Imagining the Way We and the World Work … changing what we mean by “work” and how we work as individuals, collective, systems, society, and embracing our co-create power to Re-imagine, Re-design & Re-create. 6 Parts, that make up the harmony star that creates this space for us Feminine Power Time Turn off the Chatter Tune into what matters.  Wisdom Leadership Wellbeing Four: What I heard from the Survey. At 56 minutes; Share short sumamary the results of the recent survey + the structure for the next cycle.  Thank you to everyone who responded to the survey. And thank you to each one of you who has engaged here me in this intentional space I call Feminine Power TIme. I created this as “intentional space” for us to step outside of the crazy chaos of the world and the hectic pace of our lives… so we can tune in to what is real, right and true. There is so much interference and information out there creating pressure, confusion, anxiety, frustration inside our heads & hearts… driving us to make choices, big & small, that are often not aligned or sustainable. This is why we really do need places that operate at an elevated frequency. Feminine Power Time is such a place. It's more than a podcast. It's space created for you, and all those daring to do things differently. Look forward to this next cycle of our journey together. Christine P.S.

As we go into this next cycle, and look ahead at what we desire to create for ourselves, those we care for and influence, and the world, two thing I do know for sure is this:  HOW we do this must be done together. It's the design of how we create a different reality, rooted in wholeness, compassion, interconnection, inclusion & sustainability. Our relationships are a big part of both our personal and collective healing & elevation.  The time of the lone wolf, hero, guru, star, indivdual leader is done. The time of putting the world on our backs & doing it all on our own, and sacrificing ourselves for our cause, company or just mere survival needs to be complete.  As we watch the world around us transform, one thing we want to really open our eyes to is the realm of our Relationships and what I call our "Webs of Connections". So much of our personal and collective transformation and elevation can only happen in relationship ... to other people, and to communities, groups and eco systems of people.   Our relationships - the ones we have or the ones we lack - are where we work through our wounds, heal our hearts, return to wholeness, and as result become like agents of elevation in our families, partnerships, teams, communities, companies and the larger world. Our relationships are the how we move out of working in ways that make us sick... how we create a culture in which people are compassionate, collaborative and inclusive... how we create a reality in which people stop making choices from fear and instead open their imagination to see different possibilities where there is enough for all.    I am curious ... Do you have the relationships you need now, and to create the next?  What are the relationships + webs of connection that will support you to grow, express in your full genius, & be sustained now and in the next?  Are you up for the experimenting with different ways to engage in relationship?  And making changes to how you show up within them? Live the next months and years like a "yoga of relationship" where you can elevate your frequency and experience of relationship in all realms of your life?  Today we open up the portal of elevation for the now and next .... to empower us to create the relationships and connections we really do need for this next 3 year cycle and beyond.  In this episode, #208 (#3 of 3 of our extended Power Pause)- we will focus on your Relationships and Your Web of Connection. I will share with you two frameworks:  The 4 kinds of relationships you want into place - from conscious collaborations to mutually beneficial connections to your heart line to resonant communities.    The 4 different kinds of actions you can take in existing or non-existing relationships: Release. Redesign. Reconnect. Reveal & Reach Out.   I will share wisdom on both as well as take you into these 3 inquiries: 3 Co-Creative Inquiries 1. Who am I keeping company with? What is the frequency of the connection or the field? What is draining/dissonant? What is fine/no sweat? What is energizing, empowering and resonant?  2. Who are the people I am meant to connect with?  3. If what and who I am seeking is also seeking me, what could be creating interference?  Creative Actions:  Write these inquiries out. Increase your awareness of current company. Make a visual of the people you are meant to connect to and invite the Universe to help you make connections.  Choose one relationship from each category to work with these next 3 months or year ... Release. Redesign. Reconnect. Reveal & Reach Out.  See you for the conversation. Honored to be on the path with you! With heart, Christine p.s.  REQUEST to CREATE CONNECTION: SHARE THIS PODCAST with a friend. Ask each other the inquiries. And reflect to each other what you hear to bring more insight forward.   ____ UPCOMING EXPERIENCE & PROGRAMS 1.

Consider this: You career is your path. Your vocation is your calling. Which means as long as you stay true to yourself, live your design, and stay open to learning and evolving... you will make choices in the jobs you take or don't, the 'vocations' you say yes to, and the organizations and people you choose to work with that are aligned for you. If your career is a path, that means that it will have turns, uphills, downhills, weather systems, and unexpected events. It's not a straight line or a ladder - although the over culture conditions us to believe so.  If you are a person who has dared to follow your truth, heart and deeper knowing, you have likely stepped outside of what is deemed normal, smart or successful. Good for you! That is what we do as co-creators who feel empowered vs. cogs who follow the rules or worse sharks who eat others for lunch to get ahead. We are at a threshold and big shift in the evolution of humanity - transformation, changes, uncertainty, structures breaking down - of which we are individually a part of. The wise ones PAUSE to consider where we are NOW and where we want to go NEXT in our careers and the vocations we say yes to. We work with the energy intentionally vs. being worked over by it blindly.  That's why we are doing this power pause series on Feminine Power Time - Wisdom for Thriving Now & Creating What's Next. In this episode, #207 (#2 of 3)- we will focus on your Career (path) and Vocation (calling). I will share wisdom on both as well as take you into these 3 inquiries: 3 Co-Creative Inquiries  1. Who am I working for?  2. What am I working for Now? Am I in a Shift, a Stand & Savor, an Unsure & Stay put, a Sustainability Reset, a Service?    3. What I am moving towards Next? What is the reality I desire to fully experiencing in my career and vocation three years from now? BONUS Inquiries:  * What is no longer sustainable or suitable to my design or today's reality? Do I Release or Redesign?  * Where is the energy and momentum at? What do I need in the now to follow it?   Remember ... the over culture will pull you onto the go go more more more escalator or sweep you and your life force up, if you are not centered in your truth and knowing about your path, your vocation and clear on WHO you work for. Even if you say you work for yourself.  Also... We are not meant to do this alone, be lone wolves, or scouts with little to no supplies. We are meant to work in collaboration, synergy and be supported and sustained as we give our gifts and genius and live well. This is our practice, not a prescribed 7 step process :) So we apply these co-creative practices to guide they way. See you for the conversation.

New inspiration for Feminine Power Time...what I'm calling an "XO" episode ... XO from my heart to yours .. like a movie "short," it's a podcast shortie to bring forth something that moves my heart to share with you spontaneously. I have these moments where I am feeling the energy in the world + sensing themes through the conversations I am having with conscious beings that make me feel "Oh, it would really serve us all to hear this wisdom right about now!" But instead of waiting to do a full podcast, I thought we could experiment with this shorter format. See if we like it?  This first XO short is all about getting to the heart of a pattern, habit, imprint that might be driving you - unconsciously - into overwhelm, self sacrifice, burnout, and ways of working, living, relating. One that is rooted in your self-worth and the imprints around self-worth that have been imprinted on you. If we can't get to the root of what is causing the burnout within us, we cannot change the systemic roots that keeps us stuck in the in patterns, relationships and situations that do not support our sustainability + thriving. Nor change the systems we work and live in. Every year around this time, I put myself on a 40-day practice to shine light on root habits and imprints that are driving me in ways that don't serve me + to shift my habits to support my wellbeing & desires going forward.  I was reflecting on the years I've done 40 day practices, and remembered that I had written about one of my profound 40 day practice breakthroughs in Overwhelmed and Over It. Specifically, the connection between our self worth & feelings of safety, security and enoughness and our inability to break free of burnout & self-sacrifice. In this XO from my heart to yours, I will take us through some wisdom, experience and a set of inquiries that will help you shine some light on where you may be unconsciously pushing yourself way too hard, or stuck in systemic imprints you just don't know are there. Consider this (excerpt from book and podcast): The simple truth is this: We cannot give ourselves the space to pause or replenish, nor can we create a reality in which we can be both successful and sustained, in part because we've been imprinted to value ourselves based on how busy we are; how much we've achieved; or how hard we have to push, strive, and grind. Or we've been so laden down with the reality of just having to survive, we haven't had space to even consider the pace we'd prefer, because we are drowning, barely keeping our heads above the water. This is true, for so many of the reasons we have stated about the way this world is currently structured; what society values; and the increasing pace and demands on us financially, physically, mentally, and emotionally to just keep up. As we've said since the start, “It's not our fault. And . . . you and I, and all the other women on this planet, are the ones with the power to change it, together.” The way forward is this: We bravely look underneath all the push and grind to see the lies, fear, lack, feelings of “not enough,” and distorted ways we value ourselves, and heal and free ourselves from them. We re-root ourselves into the truth of our inherent value and a real, felt sense that we are held and guided by something greater, of which we are a part. To start us moving in this direction, I have a few inquiries for you. Let's look underneath the roots + re-root ourselves into our inherent value and connection. See you there,  Christine  p.s.

Consider this: What you focus on now, will influence the reality you experience in the years to come. What you choose to give your life force and resources to this year will show up three years from now. The choices you make around your wellbeing now - in your habits, relationships and life & work design - will show up in your health & wealth twenty years from now. This is a natural law, which means it is naturally how things work .... and this year more than ever that's true (more on that in the podcast). Which is why I felt compelled to create an extended power pause for us this year ... that will give you wisdom, insight and clarity on this year (the NOW) and also the coming three year cycle (the NEXT).  This power pause series - Wisdom for Thriving Now & Creating What's Next - will give you 3 inquiries per episode focused on a specific area of focus that felt like was really calling me & us to give some conscious thought, feeling and imagination to.  Why so much to do about inquiries? It's not as much about the words we say, but the inquiries we make and dare to seek deeper wisdom for that determine the quality and reality of our lives.  Inquiry gives us insight into higher intelligence and inner truth.  We'll focus on these 3 key inquiries in this episode #206, focused on your Wellbeing & Lifeforce ... both for the NOW and for the NEXT: What is needed to sustain the longevity of my wellbeing?  In my habits? Relationships? Work & Life design? What am I giving my lifeforce and resources to? What's draining/distracting me? What is in alignment (and NOT) with my values? What is sustaining & enlivening me?What's dimming my light? Where do I have the power to release some pressure now?  I also break each of these down to make it practical and accessible for you. And end with a embodied meditation.  These are the same inquiries I make for myself. I use the wisdom that arises to make choices that lead me to what is right, real and true for me now. May these wisdom inquiries serve you to make clear, courageous and compassionate choices that keep you aligned to your path, purpose and desires. Remember... Choose to protect and retain your life force as if it is the most essential resource you possess.  Because it is. The systems will take everything you give them -- be an advocate for yourself by giving only what is in harmony, and being conscoius about what is no longer serving you, and what is truly enlivening you!

“We have become so self-sufficient as women that we often don't consider the support we need, and even when it does show up, we struggle to fully receive it.” These are the words that start Chapter 8 in my book Overwhelmed and Over It which is the chapter that gets to the root about why we push away support or don't receive the support we need, and then up burned out, and stretched too thin. In this 3-part series, Receive the Support You Desire & Require this Year, we take a stand together to get real and practical about how we ensure you DO get the support you need, require and desire, and/or make different choices based on the resources you have.   I was going to do this as one episode, but when I felt into what would really serve us, a deeper dive into you FEELING and BEING supported on all levels came through loud and clear.  In Part 1 we will explore and dive into some of the key wisdom teachings that create the foundation for support to actually show up in and grow in your life, including: It is not weak to need support. Needing support is human. It is a sign of strength to name the support you both desire and require.  To receive support you have to both NAME it and CLAIM it. Frequency preceds form - meaning you have to feel supported before you are supported. We have more support than we think. Expressing gratitude for the support you have, creates more a field for more support to come in Throughout the series, we will create space for you to tune into 5 different realms you have the power to be and feel more supported, from the inside out. These just all happen to begin with the letter P.  They all reflect the FOUNDATIONS of SUPPORT we all need at this time.  In this episode of Feminine Power Time we will explore PRACTICE + PLAY, including the structures and support that will: Keep you tuned into your higher consicousness, even when you are having a very human experience  Keep physically, emotionally and mentally harmonized - calm, clear, centered, rooted in wellbeing and resiliency  Keep your spirit lifted  Keep you feeling connected  Keep your imagination and creative channels flowing and your frequency and clarity high as a result.  Tune in. Share with a Friend. Then Support each other to receive the support you desire and require.  Big heart,  Christine  ******* Resources: 1.

Every year in January I wait to do this special Feminine Power Time session until the timing feels just right. This year, it was just one week after the start of the Lunar New Year, at the phase of the moon aligned with the energy of Focusing, Creating, Intending, and Empowering Ourselves - so in alignment for this coming year cycle + the bigger 3 and 20 year cycles ahead. 2023 is a 7 year - connected to the Chariot - and a water Rabbit year - again a year that it would be wise to lead by the feminine aspects and power, with masculine structure supporting. These archetypes + what the natural cycles are indicating + the commonalities I am feeling and seeing for myself and the conscious people I know and work have formed the focus and themes for this year's session. I've been thinking of you all for the past few weeks and what would emerge to be shared on the yearly “Feminine Wisdom for The Year Ahead” episode. Which is why I've waited three weeks between episodes. I always wait for the wisdom and focus to emerge ... which it did today, after I returned home from a two week co-creative trip to California.  After weeks of being in my own reflection and visioning process, watching what's happening in the world, deepening in my own practice and listening for guidance from Wisdom with a capital W, once again, a series of ‘wisdom bytes' - themes - flowed out. It all popped out like a stew that had been cooking for weeks. That's letting the feminine lead, purposeful patience and stillness (listening) before moving into movement and action (which is a theme for this year especially, more on that). Tune in for this year's Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead - 2023.  If you are listening to this later, no worries, it is still all relevant. It's about reading the signs all around us, feeling the knowings within us, and then being WISE about what is happening in the world and how we desire and choose to show up. Feminine wisdom teaches us to prepare for the intensity, uncertainty, transformation and change. Not to brace yourself for it, but to embrace it, pace yourself through it and cultivate the vitality, resilience and wisdom you'll need to stay elevated above the fray and the chaos. Tune in with me. And if you have some paper ... bring it to write out some of the themes I share (also posted below). See you there! Christine p.s. Come over to the Feminine Wisdom Cafe where people are sharing their dreams for the world and for themselves. We'd love to know and witness yours.  https://community.christinearylo.com/posts/what-daring-dream-do-you-have-for-yourself-for-the-world   ****** Current Conscious Communities & Experiences You Can Participate In   1.

Feminine Leads- purposeful patience and movment ... hopping one hop at a time, not speeding or trying to skip steps to go forward.  2. FLOW = Intentional Focus + Intuitive Fluidity ... as we step into these next time cycles, what is at the center of the design of what you want to give to the world through your gifts/career/presence/part? What is at the center of you need to receive to be nourished, centered and sustained? What foundations are already in place that you can lean and relax into? What's calling for your heart and soul to focus and give your energy and time to, that feels good, aligned and meant for you?  3. Frequency ... What do you need to keep your frequency high this year? What brings it down or creates interference? What practices and communities do you have in place to keep your frequency high? 4. Forms ... how we do the next now will be different. Some forms to keep in mind mentioned in the podcast.   

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head. Don't let the chaos and pressure of the world or the should's of your self-induced  pressure and thoughts swirl you up. Instead turn inward, tune into your heart and dare to tap into your deeper wisdom and desires and let those inspire and guide you. Wisdom teaches us to use the power and practice of "inquiry" to consider the path before moving into action. Not so we can have it all figured out like an agenda or project plan. But so we can be clear on our intentions, be connected to what's really in right timing, and to see what we can't see with our eyes but can sense with our deeper intuitive knowing ... if we slow down to listen.  Wisdom also teaches us ... the wisdom is within you for your most soul-aligned path ahead, the path that sustains you on all levels - mind, body, heart and spirit. And the portal into that wisdom is not in your mental mind, it's in your heart and body.   Every year I do an episode that takes us through a series of wisdom inquires I think would serve us to contemplate, at this time.  How we start the year creates the reality ahead. Use the practice of these 'wisdom inquiries' so you can stay focused on what truly matters, create the realities for ourselves and the world that align with our deeper truth and desires, and realize sustainable success.  This year we have a set of 4 inquiries Four is the number of structure. So you can think of this as you setting structure / focus so that the year ahead actually aligns with what matters most. Every year the inquires are different. Because every year, we need differently inquiries to lead us to the possibilities we haven't even considered with our limited - often fear reactive - minds.  I comb through the many inquiries we use in the EMERGE Visioning Process to find 4 to "prime the pump" and open your visioning, intention setting and focusing for the year to come.  Tune in with me, Christine Arylo, transformational leadership advisor and teacher, for episode 202: Power Pause: Tune into What Matters Most to You This Year - A Series of 4 Inquiries See you there!

"I never serve from my reserves" is just one of countless gems from one of my wisest friends, Christine Arylo. It is time for us to unhook from the over-culture operating system that produces burnout. Christine teaches us how to lead from the heart with a “pace of grace” by changing our relationship to time, energy, and flow (focus + fluidity). This episode originally aired on March 21, 2021. More about Christine: For more than a decade, through her transformation-based consulting company, Expanding Possibility, Christine Arylo has been a catalyst, mentor, and advisor for established and emerging leaders on 6 continents. The author of three previous bestsellers, her latest book is Overwhelmed and Over It: Embrace Your Power to Stay Centered and Sustained in a Chaotic World. ❤️ Enjoying the show?

Every year I love to create a special a Feminine Power Time episode that invites us to press pause and really reflect and receive the progress we have made, and the impact we have had on people, the planet and all of the projects and dreams that called for our attention this year. Why? Becasue most of us do not register in our minds, bodies or being that we really have made progress, and that what we are doing is making a difference. Most of us feel like we are not doing enough – in our day to day, towards our goals, for others in need or for the planet.  So we feel like we are always behind, like there is never enough time, and like we will never have the space to get to what matters most. This is I believe is one of the greatest sources of anxiety, dissatisfaction, overwhelm, burnout and stress that we have the power to shift by choosing to do something differently -- pause to truly FEEL how we have made a difference so we can SEE IT and BELIEVE IT ... and RECEIVE IT. Exhale. My body seriously just took an exhale as I wrote that!   In order for your brain to register the progress you've made, and that things ARE happening and changing, you have to pause to feel it. For your being to believe you are making a difference through your voices and choices, you've gotta feel that too. And feel GOOD and PROUD ... this is called "honoring."  Self honor is very connected to self respect. Self Honor is one of the 10 types of self love - so it's not boastful or distorted pride, it's healthy. Honoring yourself for how you have chosen to show up, give your energy, be a source of good in the world is a way to bring more LOVE and peace and goodness into the world.  This episode is part wisdom teaching, part ritual, part guided visualization and feel-a-zation and part overall boost of wellbeing for your mind, body, spirit and heart. Part 1: EOM - Evidence of Momentum. On the progress you have made in the different realms of your life - professionally and personally.  Part 2: EOL  - Evidence that your Love and Light touched people, real humans, and it mattered! (in all the ways you gave your energy and care)   Part 3: #HarmonicDefiance for the Planet: Evidence that your choices to do things differently + to elevate your own consciousness are impactly the planet's wellbeing.  Tune in.  See you there. This is for YOU. Christine  P.S. ELEVATION ACTION: Share this podcast with a friend and then do the ritual together. Share on one or all  of the parts - "I acknowledge I have made a difference by..."

How do you want to feel as you complete this year and as you walk into and begin the next? Overwhelmed? Drained? Exhausted? Busy? Over-extended? Of course not! Yet there is so much pressure internally and externally that can create this as the reality you live vs. the one that you desire for the last and beginning weeks of the year. Since 2007, I have been talking about and writing about Holiday Overwhelm and how to avoid it. How not to get hooked by obligation. How to do things differently than what the culture says is normal, but is really kind of crazy :) But this year, I decided I wanted to ELEVATE our conversation and focus ... from the base level consciousness that keeps us stuck in cycles of end-of-the-year madness, and year-start repentance, to some things we can focus on to elevate our experience ... to ones that create a stronger sense of calm, peace, joy, fulfillment, regeneration, creativity, connection, spaciousness. You know all the stuff we see on holiday cards? Wisdom teaching: What you focus on grows.  So what will you focus on ? My very wise ski instuctor's teaching: What you look at, you will hit. Look away from what you don't want to hit. Aka If you want to avoid hitting a tree, then look away from the tree and look towards where you want to go.  My translation - focus on and look where you want to go so it grows within and around you. In this episode 198: Complete & Create Your Year Clear: Avoid Overwhelm & Over-ing. Focus On What Fills You Up we will explore, activate and dive into a series of practical ways to FOCUS on what would be supportive and sustaining ... so you can savor and enjoy the completion of one cycle and the beginning of the next ... and make choices in your day to day that will keep your center clear ... and support you to feel nourished, at peace, empowered, calm, and any of the other feels you want to embody!   Here's what TO focus on (and what not to): Enough (Not Excess) Simplicity (Not Complexity) Reflow to Regenerate (Not Squeeze it All In) Do What Matters (Not Do More)  Honor What You Need & Desire (Not Obligation)  I'll share the wisdom behind these, and how to use these practically in the moment to make choices or change a situation. Bring some paper to write these down and then try them out. With great heart, Christine  P.S. Elevation Action: Share this podcast with a friend, so you can support each other real time.

Cyclical Living is the practice of working with the natural cycles of how the earth and the universe - and therefore us a humans (who are part of the natural world) - thrive, create and operate best. The wisdom is simple: When you harmonize yourself to the natural cycles - day, week, month and year - everything in your life (which includes career, money, relationships, work, health, wealth, practice, business, etc) comes into more alignment and harmony. It's not a pancea promising some kind of nirvana living with no stretch, stress, struggle or uncertainty. Cyclical living is the HOW we stay centered, sustained, supported and in alignment with our unique design, part and path. It's a practice for reducing anxiety and overwhelm, strengthening trust and intuition, making wise choices, exiting the burnout matrix, and gaining the power to see what is real and true. For me, understanding and practicing cyclical living as how I lead my business, advise my leadership clients, bring my dreams and intentions into form, and create a life and work style that sustains me, is an essential practice. For visioning, planning, pathing, and creating sustainable success.  There is so much to share about this practice - because it goes counter to what our culture teaches us is right and real (and keeps us stuck in the go go go, tick tock robot, never enough scarcity striving reality). Which is why, #2 of 3 in our Embracing Your Co-Creative Power Series is focused on this single practice:The Practice Cyclical Living. Tune in and we'll: Explore the Meta reality between time and space, cycles and routine Break down cylical living to the practical way you design your days, weeks, months and year Illuminate some ways the lack of trust in cyclical living creates a culture that values exponential growth and accumulation over what truly supports the planet and people to thrive.  Apply these principles to the next 3 months - to create focus and fluidity for you.

Did you know that the word "busy" means "meddlesome" and "interfering" and everytime we use phrases like, "I am so busy" or "I am too busy too,," we pushe away the exact connection or support we both need and desire during intense times.  Or how putting up our busy badge is disempowering and isolating vs empowering and connecting?  Or have you ever considered how you navigate intensity when you either actively engage in it or it unexpectedly find yourself standing the midst of it? In the decade plus of my research for what became the book Overwhelmed and Over It, and is one of the root of my feminie leadership work is this: Instensity is part of life. Intensity is not good or bad, although some kinds of intensity feels so much more empowering than others. It's what the tools we have for navigating within the intensity that make all the difference. In your life, there will be times you choose intensity. And there will be times when the intensity happen to you - out of your control or desire. Most of us have been woefully educated or prepared how to move - how to dance - through intensity. So we grind, strive, push through it, or find ourselves in the middle of puddle, or a confusion, anxiety, frustration, overwhelm storm within it. Add to that how our overculture has made "being busy" a badge of honor and success. Or how we've been taught that working hard and realizing success means pushing through until the project is done or goal is reached, to the detriment of our own mind, body, spirit and emotional wellbeing is just how it is.   And you can explain of what seems normal in our society is actually anything but. There is a different way to be with the intense times in our lives - chosen or found, stretching or struggling - that empower us to move through it with grace, gumption and more support and connection. Which is why I chose to call us together for this conversation and exploration of Feminine Power Time - #193 - Dancing Through Intensity: 5 Practices to Stay Sustained In Busy, Challenging, or High Output Times. Tune is as we explore and apply to your life now and in the future: The signs you are in times of intensity and the different kinds of situations that are worthy of calling it 'intense" Why you want to kick the work "busy" out of your language library 5 pratices and pieces of wisdom about how to be with the intensity you find yourself in - whether you chose it or it chose you  How we can dance through intense time, with the support and connection of others.  For this session, I invite you to bring your copy of the book Overwhelmed and Over It: Embrace Your Power to Stay Centered and Sustained in a Chaotic World with you. If you don't have your copy yet - chose a place to buy your copy from here. Mostly -- bring any situation you find yourself in right now - or in the recent past - that felt overwhelming, busy, too much of a stretch, intense, even if you chose it .... and then take these practices and wisdom teachings into your life and see what happens! with great heart, Christine  Upcoming Happenings & Trainings & Retreats 1.

Taking leaps. Small ones. Big ones. In between ones. Whether we are leaving a job or changing careers... or moving our home... or starting or ending a marriage or relationship... or choosing to make a change, break a pattern or complete something without knowing exactly what's on the other side... Taking leaps is like an olympic sport most of us didn't get training for. So we figure it out as we go. If we are fortunate, we find guides along the way who have leapt before us. People who can give us some wisdom and practical steps for how to take leaps with grace. People who can support us to tap into our gumption to fuel the courage and clarity we need to leap. I've lept many times into the unknown, followed the unconventional path, made choices for freedom over security, trusting that it would all work out in the end. So far I am still standing, still smiling and while I have some stretch marks from the stress that leaps almost always bring, the rewards in my heart and soul bank far outweigh the stretch marks. Taking leaps is how people who live fully and freely live. We don't wait for all things to be in place or feel comfortable. But we also aren't 'dummy pants' and leap with no net. And the net isn't always what you think it is. Wisdom Byte: If you never step into the unknown you just keep repeating the same reality. I sat down to create this session of Feminine Power Time #191: Taking Leaps, Doing Beginnings, Endings, and Cycles with Grace & Gumption, on the 6th evening of sleeping in my new house, in a new city on the other side of America. A marker of 9-month cycle of making signficiant and intentional leaps in many areas of my life - from career to relationship to health to home to financial. Whew! Exhale. So many of the people I advise and coach, and the women in the leadership councils and wisdom schools I founded, are also moving through big cycles - some they welcomed with opened arms, others they've resisted for some time.  I imagine you might also be going through a cycle with endings and beginnings too, whether you are conscious to it or not.  So i poured some tea, put on my downshifting white jammies, sat at my desk for the first time in 9 months and created this for you - to share what I've learned and noticed about cycles, about going through this current transition and what I'm seeing in other conscious humans currently.  I've got some inquires, stories and elevated perspectives to share that I hope will give you some grace and gumption in whatever leap you are making or is calling you.  I'll end us with 4 inquiries to elevate you and/or do with a friend.  See you there! Christine  ***  Elevation Wisdom Inquires Write these out and contemplate them or conversate with a freind  1. What is the cycle, begining, ending I am in, approaching or resisting?  2.

Fierce Grace. If you asked me to describe embodied Feminine Power in two words i would say "Fierce Grace." When we are truly rooted in our unique expression of fierce grace we have access to  our full power, presence, purpose and wisdom. Fierce grace comes through our presence, through our words both spoken and written, through our passion and purpose, through both courage and compassion - it's all about embodied pure heart.    Now more than ever the world needs each of our pure hearted power, presence and purpose in the world. Imprints of what it looks, feels, and sounds like to embody both fire and water.  This month is the two year marker of my fourth book, Overwhelmed and Over It was sent final edition to the printers ... this book was the first book in which I fully unleashed and embodied the energy of fierce grace. I had spoken from this place many times, including this podcast and all of my programs and trainings. But a written book or really any written form is a different animal. One I think all of us can use some wisdom on.   I was inspired to re-run this conversation to dive into how we can share our words and writing with the world. Whether you are a writer, or want to be, or you want to write a book, or a blog, or just show up more powerfully in your authentic presence in your communications -- or just start writing for JOY because you have something to say or you just want to! COME to this conversation.  I invited Kristine Carlson, NY Times Best Selling Author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Women, founder of the Book Doula incubator and community that starts every September, and a woman who has been like a big sister to me in my writing and book career to join us for Fierce Grace Talk #1: Sharing Your Words & Writing with the World" It seems like the perfect time to pull the veil back and have a heart to heart about what writing a book is like ... how it catalyzes your personal growth ... and what support and structure is really needed. And HOW to just get started. And to also explore at this time when so many voices are speaking out there -- how do YOU want to show up, speak up and share ? In a way that matters to you? Feels good to you? And is adding to the world you desire to create for yourself and others? This is the power of Fierce Grace.  Take us with you for a walk.. pour some tea and settle in... take us out in the sun to do some earthing, heck pour a bath or snuggle up in bed ... it's a heart to heart ... supporting us each to share our words and writing in the world in ways that light YOU up and light up those you touch.  Wherever this finds you... the words you share and the presence you share them through - in your voice, your energy, your purpose - matters. Nothing is too small, we start where we are.  You matter. Believe it.
