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 6 wisdom inquires feel would serve us to contemplate. How we start the year creates the reality ahead. Use the practice of these six '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. Six is the number that creates harmony. 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 6 to "prime the pump" and open your visioning, intention setting and focusing for the year to come. And this year, a bonus inquiry jumped in! A seventh inquiry. 7 is the number associated with going deeper than we've gone before so we can emerge in a more radiant, whole form. Perfect. Tune in with me, Christine Arylo, transformational leadership advisor and women's leadership and empowerment teacher, for episode 175: 6 Inquiries to Tune In & Reveal What Truly Matters to You This Year See you there!

In these intense times, where we are each being called to step forward... make changes, navigate uncertainty, do things differently... respond to the now, while re-imagining our future... it can all feel so overwhelming. We need different ways to start our year, and vision, plan and create the year to come. There are big misunderstandings in our culture about visioning, goal setting & achieving that stem from a "go, go , go, work hard, stay busy" mindset that many of us have been trained to operate from.... which honestly set us up for more pressure, overwhelm and self-criticism vs. true, sustainable success. In this Feminine Power Time - #174: A Different Way to Start & Create Your Next Your we'll explore how to think about and go about the first 6 weeks of the year...setting your focus professionally and personally... and then working in "co-creation" all year. Giving ourselves the space to rise up into the new year, and be intentional and tap into our intuitive intelligence to gain wisdom is how we stay focused on what matters, centered in ourselves, so you we stay fluid, meet what comes and expand into the possibility. When you shift your relationship to how to start your year, you begin the year feeling healthy time pressure AND spaciousness, which sets up your year to feel the same. We'll explore a different way to: Think about Jan 1st as not the only new year and other natural starts of the year. Set resolutions and goals that create spacious success vs. stress and self judgement. Set a time span in January that gives you space to contemplate & consider where to focus this next year so you create a reality that sustains and supports you vs. just more to do or more of what you've always done. Think about 'planning' your year, in way that works for the times we live in. Timeless wisdom and new language and metaphors for how to achieve, manifest, focus and set intentions and work them into reality I will share three Feminine Wisdom Principles for Visioning and Intention Setting, including #1 and #3 and #8 - you will love these! #1: Work with the natural cycles and mimic mother nature, not man-made constructs of time. #3: Wise ones don't set goals or resolutions, or say "I want." Empowered beings desire and intend. #8: Seek wisdom not answers. Seek a path not a plan. I love sharing this deep and practical wisdom every year at this time as a different way to vision, succeed and reach out goals. This year more than ever is the time to embrace doing things differently ... as a practice and a path. Tune in. See you there, and for more check out below.

While the holiday marketing and messages promise us tidings of peace and joy, the reality is that the consciousness of overculture is set to get you and I to buy more, consume more, and do more. And while we all want more meaningful connection, it's way too easy to say yes to things because of obligation, habit or fear of missing out. Every year as we go into December, we take a stand for us all here at Feminine Power Time to do things differently - in how we make our choices for how we spend our time, money and energy so that come the new year WE FEEL SUSTAINED and REPLENISHED - emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially and mentally. We choose to implement our practice of the "December Downshift" - so that we can begin the new year reset, replenished and rested. This Feminine Power Podcast - 172 Avoid Holiday Overwhelm. 3 Practices to You Calm Centered Clear -builds on the previous podcast, so be sure to tune both. And then use the inquiries and the practices to support you to make small and bigger choices that sustain vs. drain you. Here are 3 of the practices I'll share: 1. Practice #1: Create an intentional time span that creates both focus + space for what you need personally, relationally + professionally. From now through January 11th. 2. Practice #2: Make your choices in Nov & Dec based on how you want to feel physically, emotionally, & mentally and in your spirit as you start 2022. Choose your 4 Holiday Harmonizers. 3. Practice #3: Embrace & Do What Feels Sustaining. Release & Redesign What Feels Draining. Including releasing doing things out of pressure, obligation, guilt, FOMO, “it's tradition” or over-connecting. And mimicking the over-culture. Plus I will lead you through a few visualizations and meditations that will help you tune into your deeper wisdom for what to say YES to, NO to, so you can stay true to yourself, even if that means disappointing another or doing things differently. And I'll share wisdom on how to mimic the natural world to make December and January supportive and self empowering. Tune in.

I have a question for you: "Would you like to start the new year feeling clear - mentally & emotionally? Like your physical space to feel clear and coherent? Like to be free of some of the relationship drama or distress in your personal or professional relationships?" Imagine how you would feel if you had more space in the last few weeks of this year and the first few weeks of next year. Are you exhaling yet? Of course our answers to this possibility are YES! Starting the new year clear is not just a nice to have - it's what any wise person would do. But how do you 'do' that? Especially in the intense year(s) we've been through? My council has been the same for a decade, and it's even more essential in the times we are living in. The wisdom is clear: You put into place simple but mighty practices that empower to you make choices that lead to you working and living and feeling in the f.l.o.w. (Focusing Lifeforce On What matters. The practice I will guide you through today is called a Power Pause (a short and simple one). Power Pauses use the wisdom tool of 'intuitive thinking inquiries' that reveal insights you miss if you only operate from your mental mind vs your higher and heart mind. In this episode of Feminine Power Time: a Power Pause: 3 Inquiries That Will Support Complete the Year Feeling Clear, I will share the FLOW practice I use myself every year at this time, and we do as part of living and working the feminine wisdom way. It includes 3 inquiries that will help you Complete and put energy toward what you really desire to get done and take care of - in relation to your body needs, your money management, your home space, your work & creative projects and your mental space Bring 'twiggly danglers' in your relationships into coherency in a healthy way - parts of relationships professionally or personally in where something it out of whack or alignment, that you know deep down if you don't deal with will come back next year in a more dramatic way. Reflow projects and things you'd like to do but you know there's not really space to do until next year - which will create space for you to savor these next few weeks and the first weeks of the new year. I will also share some very specific examples of what I do to create space, relief and release this way - including just releasing 3800 emails in one hour!

WORK WISE + LIVE WELL is the HOW we get relief from the burnout, overwork, anxiety, and overwhelm. How we stop ourselves and the organizations we work in or run ourselves from accepting the grind, the push, the hustle as the norm. Without new language, models, elevated perspectives + space to practice and trust doing things differently, we stay stuck in our current reality or make it just a little better. As we start to tap into true WISDOM, we become empowered to use our voices and choices to create realities for ourselves, those we love & lead, our organizations and teams, and this world that are rooted in sustainability, wellness, connection and prospering for people and planet. In this episode of Feminine Power Time, #170 Work Wise Live Well, #3 of 3 in our Overworked and Over It Series, we will explore: 3 models + 3 practices + 3 acts of harmonic defiance for releasing ways of working that burn us out + embracing new ways that have the power to create sustainable success, wellness + a life we can savor. We will explore models that illuminate the distorted and unhealthy way of working and thinking that's created our current society and norms, and shine the light on other ways to approach achieving, succeeding and thriving, including: The difference between working Working Hard. Working Smart. and Working Wise. The 4-part path to Sustainable Creation vs. Unsustainable Creation. Toxic Time Pressure vs. Healthy Time Pressure Working in the Rhythm of the natural cycles vs. the routine and prescribed man made time lines We'll also share practices for: Giving enough to work and others, vs 110% or your all - without guilt Reflowing projects, meetings, to dos, and goals when they start to feel crunchy Harmonizing your rhythm and the way you plan your life and work with the natural yearly and moonly cycles This episode was originally delivered as one of my quarterly/monthly Wisdom Sessions. For the past 7+ years I've held a wisdom session on 11.11 focusing on how we can tap into our deeper wisdom - our crazy wisdom - to do things differently, make courageous, wise choices that are aligned with our heart desires and soul path.

Time. It's one of those things that we all wish we had more of, and one of those things that contributes to the every day pressure we feel under. But did you ever... consider that time is a human made system? Or notice that many of the deadlines, must-get-done-by's, and must-do-this-nows put on us by others or generated by ourselves are in many cases preferences or unnecessary time constraints? I have spent ALOT of time thinking about time - lol. Going deeper underneath to find the roots of the pressure, burnout, stress, anxiety and driving forces that force us to work and operate in crazy-paced, unrealistic ways. As I was writing Overwhelmed and Over It, I wrote 20,000 words on Liberating ourselves from the time constraints and toxic time pressures that are just not necessary. We've just accepted the pace and pressure of how we work as normal but it's anything but 'normal' for a healthy planet and healthy humans. For this podcast, Transforming Tight Time Constraints & Toxic Time Pressure (#2 of 3 in our Overwhelmed and Over It Series, which will lead us into the Work Wise. Live Well. Wisdom Session).... I combed through the book to find three pieces of wisdom + 3 practices and actions you can take now to release yourself from the ways of working that are rooted in undue time pressure and ideals. Here's some of what we will explore: What are time constraints ? And how do you know they are binding you up? The 3 kinds of "fabricated time pressure" - how to spot it in others and in your organizations and projects, and yourself How to notice the self-sabotaging things you are doing in your day to day that are stealing your time, or causing you to give too much time to the wrong things Deadlines - why you DON"T want to work with these. 3 inquiries that will help you find the toxic time pressure in your life now, and give you simple but mighty ways to release the pressure What is 'healthy time pressure' and how can you use it to get what matters done in a more fluid and efficient (and joyful) way To see glyphs of what I am talking about and get the inquiries I mention, refer to Section 4: Liberate Your Time in the Overwhelmed and Over It book.

Burnout, overwhelm, feeling like we have too much to do with not enough time, resources or support, struggling to find work/life balance is not new, our bodies breaking down because the stress is too much, our minds unable to slow down, feeling like it's all on us. It's been our reality especially as women for MANY decades. The catalyst of the pandemic, chaos, intense weather, etc are outpicturings that we have hit the boiling point ... as a society, a culture, and individuals. The truth is: How we have been imprinted, educated and expected to work is not sustainable, healthy or human. And when I say work, I don't just mean what you do to receive money. I mean ALL the things you give your life force and time to, including those people, communities and causes you parent, care for and tend to. Consider this: We are at standing at the place where we can make great shifts in short time spans... if we are willing to take a stand, say NO MORE to what doesn't work and isn't really necessary or healthy, and say YES to do things differently. Even if that means disappointing another, disrupting a pattern, & dismantling structures. But how do we 'do' that ? Without overwhelming ourselves or just quitting our jobs and lives and creating an even more unsustainable reality? This is what I have spend the last decade plus researching, living and defining, and what became the foundation for the Overwhelmed and Over It book. In this three part series, Overworked and Over It: I combed through the book pulled out 3 principles, practices and perspectives that give us the power to spot the B.S. ways of working that burn people and planet out... and then give us the wisdom to do it differently. These are specific simple but significant acts you can take in your day to day life, now to do what i call "Work Wise. Live Well" ... as you begin to make different choices, you start to see the distorted internal imprints & external norms you've been responding from, and you gain the insight to make wiser choices for yourself, others and your organizations. In this episode #168 of Feminine Power Time "Overworked and Over It: Stop Filing the Gaps & Giving 110%" we will explore 3 wisdom teachings for working wise + inquiries and practices you can use in your day to day to make different, more sustainable choices: Wisdom for Working Wise: Stop filling all the holes and gaps. Start doing just your part. Stop giving 110% when 80% would do or you will never have enough time for what matters to you. Start giving and doing enough. We can't stop working so hard or giving too much because we fear everything will fall apart if we do Practices and Inquiries: What leaks am I plugging that are creating distress or fragmentation for me? Where am I giving 110% when 80% would do? What am I afraid will happen if I stopped working so hard or giving so much? Tune in.

Anger and grief are good human emotions. They have the potential to open up so much for us - individually and collectively. Lead to healing, breaking down barriers, breaking through to better realities. The problem is that most humans weren't taught how to express anger or grief in healthy ways, so it comes out sideways in distorted ways, or it gets stuffed down until we blow up or get sick. Sometimes we are the receiver of that big emotional eruption and other times we are the "unleasher" or "erupter" on someone else. Join me for this Feminine Power Time conversation - Sacred Rage. Holy Grief. - where we explore perspectives and practices around dealing with the kind of rage and grief that comes from people's/our wound, and how to it differently in ways that lead to wholeness. We will explore inquiries like: How do we... Discharge anger & grief? So it doesn't build up inside us and leak out or erupt in distorted ways? Have big emotions like rage and grief about the world, about our reality, about other people's actions or choices, without them consuming us? Using our big emotions to heal ourselves and ignite creative action that inspires? Deal with other peoples misdirected rage and grief? Respond to the things that piss us off, in powerful ways that make the world better vs. adding to the chaos. See below for some of the practices I mention in the podcast. I've been contemplating this topic for weeks and weeks, waiting for the right moment to arise. Today it did. After you listen, share with me one insight you took away that spoke to your heart, or illuminated a wisdom bite for you. (on the Feminine Wisdom Cafe). With heart, Christine **** Resources mentioned: Osho Dynamic Meditation Kriya for Releasing Anger **** SHARE. RATE. REVIEW. If this speaks to you, so appreciate you sharing it with a friend. Then the two of you can conversate about it too. And support each other in taking your big emotions and using them for healing and creating.
In the third part of our series on Staying Sane in an Insane World, we activate one of the most subtle but absolutely potent powers we have ... the power of inquiry and contemplation. We are trained in our over culture to value and work with questions and answers to drive to a conclusion, usually as fast as possible. "Time is money." And we are imprinted with a value system that says we must have the answer, if we don't we risk looking a fool, being called out or being discounted. But operating this way - in a mindset about quick answers vs. contemplation and consideration... in a world that values confidence over curiosity.... keeps us stuck in the consciousness and realities that don't work for us individually or collectively. Unhealthy, insane ways of working, relating and living. In a wiser, healthy culture, one that values the feminine, we practice the art of inquiry and contemplation to open up possibility and to gain clarity. For this session of Feminine Power Time I chose 4 inquiries that I use often in making choices everyday. They are the same ones I use when I am working with a leader to unlearn the distorted approach to growth, goal setting and management, and to learn a different, wiser, healthier way of working. As I lead you through these 4 inquiries, bring a challenge, a catalyst, a situation you are working or that is working you. And we can apply it to inquiries and see what emerges! Some of what we'll explore: 1. The power of wonder. Inquiry: I wonder... 2. The power of quintessence. Inquiry: What is at the core? What is the essence? 3. The power of seeing beyond your five senses to shift out of fear into a response that leads to harmony and healin. Inquiry: What's real? What's needed? What do I need? 4. The power of choosing to move forward consciously vs waiting for change to kick you in the butt. Inquiry: How do we/I move forward from here? See you there! Christine *** p.s.

It's time to activate and utilize one of the most powerful tools we have to stay centered, sustained and focused on what matters - the Power Pause. This practice gets us focused the last 3 months / 4 moon cycles of the year. And does wonders for keeping us healthy in an unhealthy world. There are many things you could do these last 3 months of the year, but what is really most important to you? What will bring you the best returns ? And what shifts in your habits, patterns, and structures are needed to support you in this last cycle? Wise women know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support them to grow their work, wealth and relationships, to support their health, and to keep them focused on what matters. The September Equinox offers you insight to illuminate where the imbalances currently exist in your life & how to reset yourself and refocus your life force - especially the ways in which you are over giving and under receiving, the habits that may have worked in the summer but won't support you now, and the ways in which making changes to your home, health and wealth can support you to end your year strong, sane and supported. In this Feminine Power Time : POWER PAUSE: Reflect, Rebalance and Reset Your Focus at Equinox ... and exhale! 4 Inquiries to Get Focused on What Matters Most the Last Part of this Year & Feel Good About What You've Already Done... Women's leadership and empowerment advisor and teacher, Christine Arylo, marries her MBA business background with 15+ years of wisdom and spiritual study in practical ways that can support you to elevate out of overwhelm, stay focused on what matters, shift sabotaging habits and take care of small things that make a big difference. Tune into this Power Pause and: Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year - and how this practice can yield big returns in your business, career, relationships and health/wealth/home Experience the feminine way of growing our work and impact vs tackling projects, driving like a torpedo, or pressuring ourselves to make things happen too fast Be led through a visualization and meditation to: Feel good about what you have already done this year. Reveal the imbalances - work, relationships, health, wealth or home - that need attention. Consider what you need to bring the imbalances into harmony, so you have what you need Gain clarity on how to best focus your attention the last part of this year. Power Pauses are a form of feminine leadership which teaches us to work in harmony with the natural cycles of how the material and mystical world both work. Part of her Feminine Wisdom School and Feminine Leadership Programs Arylo teaches how to use this ancient wisdom and way of working to apply to creating a life and work that creates an impact and is sustainable. UPCOMING EVENTS & PROGRAMS
In the second part of our series on Staying Sane in an Insane World, this week we press the "elevate" button to get a wider, higher view of what's happening in our world landscape. This practice of "pressing the elevate button" is how we find wisdom amongst the madness, find our way to center in the midst of chaos, and open up possibility, compassion and connection instead of more of the same game humankind has been stuck in some thousands of years. I've been contemplating what I would share in this podcast "4 Perspectives for Staying Sane in an Insane World" as I've been in deep listening and observing mode. What I share are four perspectives to contemplate, consider, chew on, try on and be curious about. Take what resonates, leave the rest. All I ask is you come with an open heart and mind, in service to us each unlocking ourselves and all beings and life from the consciousness that just no longer serves. Some of what we'll explore: Duality Reality and Polarities that pull us apart and pit us against each other and the power of 'standing in and surrendering to the paradox" to access a new level of reality How we work in this world now in ways that support life and humans to thrive is not the same way we've worked in the past Breaking apart the matrix of a dominating, power-over, distorted masculine world and value system, that's kept us stuck in unsustainable, inequitable realities. What action we can take by choosing who we will be as we go through this collective transformation. Plus I will sing a little diddy for you at the end. Share the English paper I wrote that broke my heart open and opened my wise woman eyes. I'll end us with a short meditation and leave you with these words: Who do you choose to be? Remember your personal healing matters. Believe your personal choices matter. How will you give your gifts and voice to create the world you know in your heart is possible? See you there!

The word sane means free from mental disturbance. I would add emotional disturbance too. The kinds that creates confusion, doubt, impulsive choices, procrastination and all kinds of the commotion we might be feeling within, and are seeing spinning in our world. While we cannot stop the insanity we see happening in our world and the people within it at a whole new level these days (or even may be feeling ourselves)... there are things we can DO to stay sane, sustained, centered and focused on what matters. We 'do' these things - called practices - not just when the wave of insanity becomes a tsunami or a tropical storm. The wise ones put these into place proactively, we design our lives, the way we work, think and operate with them. Our daily and weekly practices are the structures that hold us no matter what is happening around us. Our practices give us the space to have our human emotions and release them out of our system so we can respond from an elevated, higher frequency, more humane consciousness that opens people and possibility up vs. creating more polarity and unhelpful chaos. Our practices give us wisdom. So we can use our creative life force to create the world we desire for ourselves, each other, and those we love, lead and influence. So here's what we are going to do these next three episodes of Feminine Power Time focused on "Staying Sane in an Insane World" ... Start with 4 practices for staying emotionally & mentally healthy & clear in this episode #162. Then perspectives. Then possibilities. We are going to be with what is, and use our super power to lighten up, be the creators and the makers, and ensure we have what we need to make clear, supportive choices and navigate when we 'fall off our surfboard'. Tune in and I'll share more about the practices: CREATE CONVERSATE & COUNCIL CENTER & CONNECT TO YOUR CORE CLEAR YOUR FIELD Did you know that the root of the word SANE means healthy? Which means we are diving into how to Stay Healthy in an Unhealthy World. Just think about that re-frame ... if you let your wise being eyes see the unhealthy worlds and realities... and you make a choice to stay healthy - mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, relationally and materially at this time - how would that inform or guide your daily, weekly and bigger choices. Something to ponder ... and put into practice :) With great heart, Christine p.s.

You and I have the super power to consciously choose to catalyze ourselves vs. wait to be catalyzed the a big Universal 2x4. We have the power to work with the catalyzing energy happening on our planet right now in a way that supports and serves us and others vs. overwhelming us. But like any super power, if you can't name it and articulate it, you can't wield its power. The feminine super power of catalyze is: the power to use the situations that life brings you as liberators and elevators that lift YOU & OTHER up to expanded levels of consciousness and reality. When you choose to embrace your power to catalyze yourself out of a comfort zone, with focus and swiftness, you release and shed what's no longer needed (and is weighing you down)... And as a result take a self empowered step into your soul's evolution, liberating yourself to a more full, true, empowered expression. When you shift how what's challenging you right now in your life from something happening to you into something happening through you, you step into your power to meet and work with whatever is showing up.... as a process and path to greater healing, freeing and expressing. Look around your life right now - at your work, your relationships, your physical foundation of health, wealth and home. Ask yourself: 1. What would I LOVE to catalyze in my life right now? 2. What is already being catalyzed in your life? And if you named it, you could powerfully start working with it vs it working you. Then Join me for episode 161 of Feminine Power Time - Feminine Super Power: Catalyze! Release the comfortable. Embrace the call to shift. This is practical wisdom in action - to apply to whatever is catalyzing or wants to be in your life. We'll dive into: 3 of the principles of the feminine super power of Catalyze so that you can be a Conscious Catalyzer How to meet challenges as catalysts How to catalyze yourself to step out of your comfort zone vs waiting for the Universe to do it for you How to work with the catalyzing energy of our time to Liberation - what it is and how you can use it We'll reveal and identify: What are your lifetime catalyzers? Those areas of your life that keep challenging you? What "skins" - roles, responsibilities, and robes of expression or repression - are you ready or is it time to release? What within you is calling to be liberated? What desires to be more free to express? What do you desire to be more free to receive? What ways of living, relating, or working are you complete with and ready to liberate yourself from? Tune in. And if you missed the podcast series on Sacred Transformation #126 - 128, tune in to that too. See you there. Christine p.s.

When people ask me how I am doing, I always say to them "I am in the yoga of life." It's the most accurate, honest and frankly rewarding answer. Twenty years ago when I found yoga and it found me, I didn't realize how much it would re-shape how I saw the world, and honestly how much it would prepare me for this world today. I can honestly say that I would not be able to do what I do, be the person I am, without it. Yoga is so much more than being bend, meditating for hours or proving our strength by how long you can hold a pose, or if you can do a handstand. Yoga means union. The physical practice of yoga is just one gateway into what is a well of golden wisdom that the yogis left for us to meet the times we are in. It's like then knew 'this' - today's intense world - was coming. And while I talk about yogic wisdom all the time, and it's informed so much of my teachings, I also find that we have a lot of misperceptions about yoga in the western world. And there's so much more to it that is right there, if we are willing to open up to it. Which is why I invited a new friend, Patsy Kuo Eisenstein, a native of Taiwan who moved to the US at the age of 20, and host o f the New & Ancient Story Community to join us for a special "wise woman tea" session of Feminine Power Time: #160: Living Life as A Yoga, Yogi Perspectives for Thriving in Our Times. We invite you to join us as we look through the eyes of the yogi, through our personal journey with yoga, the practice of yoga not just on the mat, but in every area of our lives, and how yoga as a way of life is core to our ability to serve this world and stay sustained within ourselves. We share our experience of: How ‘yoga' finds you and how the wisdom opens up to you over time. Leadership and power through the eyes of a Western woman practicing yoga Harmonic Defiance as a yogi - moving in strength, staying true to the self, receiving other people's judgements, and following your deeper wisdom no matter what Dealing with people we don't agree with, that trigger us and that we just don't understand - in ways we don't waste our chi ranting or fighting against, but how that make a subtle but significant impact What 'living life as a yoga' means and how to explore what that could look like for you Tune in. Join us. And then connect with Patsy. And come over to the Feminine Wisdom Cafe and join in the conversation. with great heart, Christine *** About Wise Woman Tea Episodes These wise woman teas are special episodes always bringing forth a specific wisdom tradition we can lean into and look through to give us perspective, insight and elevated tools for how to meet and be with the times we live in. *** About Patsy Eisenstein Patsy Kuo Eisenstein, a native of Taiwan, has lived what seems like many lifetimes in one.

If you are making choices that stretch you out of your comfort zone or go against the status quo you should expect fear to bubble up. It's normal and human. But how do you deal with the confusion, doubt, anxiety, frustration, impatience in a way that empowers you to make wise choices? And how do you get past it to find the wisdom that will actually guide you to making the wise and aligned choice for you? The truth is that most of us were not taught how to work with the mental, emotional, physical, and energetic responses and reactions our bodies, minds, hearts and psyches have when we make choices that stretch us, or trigger past trauma, hurt or suffering. But when you know how to work with both the parts of you that react from fear and past trauma or cultural or familial imprints AND the part of you connected to your true soul design and heart desires, you can the super power to elevate out of the doubt and confusion, into a inner knowing that empowers you to take action.

Clear Confusion & Doubt to Get to Your Truth": we will dive into: How to understand the different forces within you that influence your choices How to use the doubt, fear, confusion to make better choices and get what you need. Why you can't ignore your emotional reactions if you want to make wise choices How to discern whether it's your inner critic/fear/past trauma/imprints making your choices or your inner wisdom The Ping Pong effect - what to do when you get caught in this or that thinking.

When you stretch out of your comfort zone, it's normal to have fear and doubt. Just don't let it drive your choices. Your feelings are your super power. Your heart is your power center.

Most of us feel like we don't have the time we need to do what we really want, get what we need or do the things that might not be productive or profitable but are actually the things that feed us the most and that have the potential to catalyze us into the expressions, intentions and dreams we have for ourselves, our work and the world. Wisdom Byte: If you are waiting to find the time, you will never find the time. Time is finite. You can't make time - there is no time kitchen. And you can't find more time - time is not lost. What we need is not more time. What we need is the 'space' to take care of the demands of our current lives AND feed the desires still coming into form AND nourish our hearts and souls and bodies with things that may not be 'productive' or 'profitable' but that sustain us in big ways.

We have huge misunderstandings of what creativity is, and how relevant and essential it is to every sector of our society, our economy, our wellness and happiness and our families. Creativity is not just about making a painting or a piece of ‘art.' Some of the greatest thinkers and scientists have also said what the artists and sages have always known - imagination and intuition are more powerful than the intellect. It's our capacity to imagine and tune into a more expanded field of consciousness that inspires us, illuminates possibility for us, and both heals, awakens and empower us. Yet, if you look at the over-culture we live in, wow, it's set up to keep us from this primal, innate creative power. Our schools have cut back on creativity as part of core curriculum, instead they are over-focused on memorizing and accepting conventional thought and scientific proof as the only reality. Women's creativity is often diminished into “arts and crafts”, scrapbooking or a nice “hobby.” And most people don't see themselves as artists or artistically talented, because they can't paint or draw in a what is deemed beautiful, so they shy away from being “creative”. This and more is keeping up from the truth of how creativity lives within each of us. Distancing us from our power and potential to create different realities for ourselves and the world. And keeps us from potent self-healing techniques that we could be using to release trauma, move through challenging emotions, and navigate these intense times. Consider this... wisdom that emerged from this conversation and wise woman tea between myself and Shiloh Sophia McCloud, founder of the Center for Intentional Creativity (and my dear friend of almost 15 years), which we are inviting you to: "People have mixed up talent and creativity. If you think you are not talented, you think you are not creative. Which is not true. EVERYONE is creative. Creativity is the natural innate life force that exists in every person and how you chose to create it." Join us for this special "Wise Woman Tea" with Arylo and Shiloh, to top off our series of Embracing Your Power to Create the World You Wish to Live In. In our wise woman tea episodes I invite a woman who has dedicated her life to living and learning a specific wisdom tradition or lineage, and has founded and brought forth this wisdom in practical ways that can empower us in these intense and changing times. In Episode 158 we focus on The Power & Practice of Intentional Creativity for Navigating and Thriving in Our Times we will explore: What creativity is NOT Embracing our creative nature and power as creators STOPPING the rhetoric that we are not "creative" STARTING embracing our creativity as a super power that we all have and that we can use in ALL areas of our lives, professional and personal. The systemic roots of why we get disconnected from our full creative power at a young age Self-expression as essential to our wellness How we can guide and influence others to stay connected to their creative power, even if the systems don't support it #harmonicdefiance The link between creativity and consciousness, how we think, and how our brains work Using creative process and practice to cause significant breakthroughs individually and collectively In the episode, Shiloh and I will share and talk about Intentional creative processes and physical practices that give us the power to: AWAKEN our potential and new possibility HEAL and MOVE THROUGH challenging emotions and times RELEASE trauma from our system CONNECT with our intuition and receive wisdom and guidance CREATE SPACE for contemplating and being in conversation with the Universe and your deeper Self. Join us for the conversation and the exploration. And then take what you learn and start bringing the practice of intentional creativity into your DAILY life. We start the Mid Year Power Pause in June and July - which is an intentional creative process. Feminine Wisdom Way is a community and wisdom school that actively uses our creative power daily to co create the world we wish to live in. See you there! Christine **** Wisdom Bytes: The mind can only create what it seen before. But your intuition has the power to expand possibility. Thinking is the long way to make change. Wellness cannot be achieved through just the mind. Creativity as a practice and a process is a way through to true healing, freeing and new ways of working, living and doing things. **** Learn more about Shiloh McCloud and Musea, the Center for Intentional Creativity Website www.Musea.org Community on Facebook, the Red Thread Cafe https://www.facebook.com/groups/redthreadcafeclassrooom/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/musea_center/ Check out Shiloh's Book: Tea with the Midnight Muse: Invocations and Inquiries for Awakening https://www.amazon.com/Tea-Midnight-Muse-Invocations-Awakening/dp/1504363167 *** GO DEEPER.

Hello Dear One ... Every May I love to re-listen to and re-share this episode on MOTHER LOVE which I recorded in 2017, and the wisdom still stands... and the message still so needed for us all to hear, contemplate and put into practical action. Mother Love is so much more than we think it is.) So many of us are feeling stretched - being called to make changes, expansions, trust. In times like you need more "mother love" - it's so powerful! MOTHER LOVE does not just come from your birth mother. And since most of us aren't taught what that is or how to source it, I am replaying this Feminine Power Time. If you've never heard it, tune in. If you have, re-listen this is medicine and a message that will bring clarity, confidence and courage to you at this time.... Next week we will start our three part series on how we can tap into and focus our feminine creative power to birth, make and co create the world we desire to live in. For now, soak in the Mother Love. Much love to you xoxo Christine "THERE IS A GREAT MOTHER LOVE AVAILABLE THAT CAN ACT AS THE SAFE AND SOFT HARBOR YOU NEED TO STAND STRONG + FEEL SUPPORTED. IT WILL HOLD YOU, SOOTHE YOU, AND GIVE YOU UNSTOPPABLE COURAGE." When you read the words ‘mother love’ you likely go right to thinking about the mother who gave birth to you or the mother who raised you. And while that mother definitely has a role to play in our lives, she cannot be our only source of “mother love.” Mother love is... a specific kind of love that every human being needs – we don’t outgrow the need for it, although we sadly forget how much we do need it. Mother love is… the deep, all-embracing, all-accepting, nourishing, nurturing, warm, safe, supportive love that soothes the places inside our hearts that feel scared and lonely. Mother love is… the strong love that we can fall into when we are stressed, stretched, uncertain, and feeling like we just can’t handle what’s happening in our life. Sourcing Mother Love is not something most of us were taught how to do. In this Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo: Mother Love: The Feminine Love That Will Hold You Through Transition: Reveal why one mother cannot be our only source of love – and how embracing this can wipe out all kinds of baggage and free you to receive the support, nurturing, courage, acceptance, patience, understanding and compassion Define Mother Love – this is SO much more than the story or situation between you and your birth mother. Even if you had the greatest mother growing up, your need for more Mother Love doesn’t end. See how the lack of Mother Love is often at the root of things like loneliness, feeling like you don’t belong, fear, not feeling like you have enough, are enough, not being cared for, not feeling supported – these patterns will keep showing up if you don’t get to the root Explore the powerful 3 Sources of Mother Love that are here for all of us - there is SO much of this support here for us beyond what we have been taught exists. Learn simple practices you can do to invite this powerful, potent, feminine love into your heart and life – including the Great Mother Bath P.S.

I am so over the moon thrilled to be able to mark this point of the Feminine Power Time podcast with you - 5 years - with 5 being a number that signifies transformation. Which is the time we are in! I have been contemplating for the past few weeks what this episode should focus on, how it can support you during this transformational times and how Feminine Power Time can be a structure, support and space for you. The center point of Feminine Power Time has always been about embracing our power to create the world we desire to live in. For ourselves. For those we love, lead and influence. For what matters to you in this world. It's my response to breaking through what keeps us from access our full wisdom and power. It's a space I create for you to come weekly to turn off the chaos or chatter of the outside world, to more deeply tune into what is true and real and aligned for you. It's a playground and a gathering place for us to explore different ways of being, living, leading and succeeding. Whether you just found us or you have been here for years, I am grateful for our connection. I look forward to this special conversation with you. Tune in. We are just getting started .... in what it really means to embrace our power to create the world we desire to live in. What that means practically. What we need to support us to keep stepping forward. And how we do this TOGETHER. With great heart Christine *** p.s. I will share the genesis story of how Feminine Power Time came to be. p.p.s.

Sustainable success. Soul-aligned life. That can sound like self help mumbo jumbo. Wishful thinking. Buzzwords. Or like, sure I will get around to that when I am not so overwhelmed just trying to deal with my current reality. Add to that, that we are so conditioned by this over-culture to look for the quick fix, or the promise of some nirvana, and it's obvious why the levels of depression, anxiety, doubt, stress, fatigue, and burnout have gone up not down in the last four decades. Which is why in this third episode, we are going to get real about what it really means to CHOOSE to live a soul-aligned, sustainable life, in all areas of our lives, including how we work, run businesses, choose projects and make choices. Sustainable success and a soul aligned life is not a goal you achieve and mark off the list as complete. It is a path, a practice and a choice. It is the how you co-create and cultivate this a reality in which you: Achieve the impact you desire Receive the sustainability and support you need Stay connected to those you love, including yourself Stay focused on what truly matters to you Create space to savor your life Tune into this Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo, MBA, feminine leadership advisor, and wisdom teacher: #153 Sustainable Success: How Do We "Do" It ... so you can experience the your co-creative power to create more of the reality and world you wish to live in. This is not a quick fix, but it is a portal out of the overculture into a different way. Wisdom Bytes that we'll explore PATH Expect uncertainty and the unexpected. It is okay not to know. Be committed and clear on what you desire to create - in your life design and in the work you give your life force to. PRACTICE To wield the power of co-creation you need to be able to work with, trust and apply both your feminine and masculine power. Work with the natural cycles to create smaller time spans which will reduce your anxiety and increase your clarity. CHOICE Don't let the system, others or yourself pressure you to speed up and make a choice before you are ready Claim and name the support and space you need Tune in.

If we just keep taking more on - in our work, in our relationships, and world - we will burn out, get sick and not have the impact we desire to make, nor receive the lives our hearts and souls crave. But we can't help ourselves - most of us feel over stretched and over whelmed because we keep taking more on, as if it's our only choice. Something has to give, and this time, it cannot be you. In this episode of Feminine Power Time: #2 of 3 in our Soul Aligned Sustainable Success, Christine Arylo, author of Overwhelmed and Over It! takes us into a conversation that will: Illuminate the systemic and social realities that have created a culture - in our society, in our organizations and in our families - that always demands more. The hub of the systemic distortions around how we value growth and success that have gotten imprinted into we approach and think about our relationships, work and choices. Why in the 50 + years working women have been in the workforce, we are more stressed not less. Wisdom Byte: The systems have not sufficiently changed to support women in the workforce, so we just kept doing more! Because we had to. We'll explore and expand possibility by looking at two of the imprints that drive us to make unsustainable choices in our lives, relationships, career and work. And RELEASE those. And learn two self sustaining imprints to embrace instead. Imprint #6: Release: It's better to give than receive. Embrace: It's better to give AND receive. Imprints that we inherit from our family and how we were educated that cause us to value how much we sacrifice ourselves or how much burden or pressure we can carry. Imprint #7: Release: Work Hard to Succeed. Embrace: Work Wise to Thrive. Which causes you to plug the holes and needs of the systems and people around you, like the little Dutch Boy. And two self sustainability practices for doing things differently, to work wise. Just give enough. Don't plug the holes. Let the system re-shape itself. See you there! Christine *** Go deeper.

You can do and be anything. And you to have to make choices. Our choices day to day and in big life decisions create our reality. But how do you make sure that the choices you are making daily and in big life design, career path, financial, relationship are actually 'in alignment' for you? In alignment with your heart and soul, not just your ego? And why does this matter? What I've learned in the decade plus I've been researching the root causes of burnout, overwhelm, self sacrifice and the rise in depression and disease within women, one thing I found was this: No matter how educated or smart, most women did not receive the wisdom, training or education we needed to make soul-aligned, supportive choices, that keep us rooted in our personal truth, innate wisdom and internal self-worth. So we end up creating realities in how we work, design our relationships and lives that are not truly in alignment with what feels aligned and in harmony - which has so many implications and so much wisdom that you'll just have to tune in :) I started this series to open up a conversation, illuminate wisdom and give you some things to consider as you look at the way you design your life, relationships, career, mission, work, business if you are an entrepreneur, from here. In #1 of our three part series on Feminine Power Time: Soul-Aligned Sustainable Success, we will dive in to 4 nuggets of wisdom, elevated perspectives for you to consider about "Soul-Aligned Choices" We cannot have success and won't feel truly successful professionally or personally if we don't expand our understanding of success to include our heart and soul.Here's some of what we will dive into: 1. What are soul-aligned choices, and what does this have to do with your daily life, career, chosen work and relationships? 2. How do you know when your choices and realities are in alignment for you, and when the are not? 3. How to tell when something that was once in alignment is no longer in alignment so you can make different choices, without creating distress and or getting a Universal 2x4 wake up. 4. What practices and support structures you want to have in place so you have the clarity and wisdom to make soul aligned choices that lead to sustainable - vs. distress making - change and shifts. **** Go deeper.

Join Christine Arylo for this Feminine Power Time, 4 Inquiries to Get Your Habits and Choices into Harmony for the Months Ahead. One of the four Power Pauses she shares each year, this one focused on what wise leaders and people do: 1. Illuminate the imbalances in the different realms of your life - so they don't become drama, disease, disaster and distress 2. Shift habits and patterns in your daily life that might have been aligned before, but need to shift as you head into this next cycle 3. Focus on and committ to the intentions, projects, relationships that are ready and ripe to grow and prosper 4. Set a new rhythm for your day and week that supports and sustains where you are now, and what you are creating and managing these next three months, into June Solstice. When you pause at near the equinoxes and solstices, your internal rhythm aligns with the natural rhythm... you gain the power to reset habits that might have been okay in months prior but need a shift. And you gain clarity on how to focus your life force so what you spend your time, energy & money creates what you desire. Power pauses are leadership best practice, a wise way to run your business, organization or team, and I believe a must if you want to stay sustained and sane in a world in which we feel so much pressure to do so much. And then don’t have what we need to sustain ourselves. Every year I hold power pauses at this 4 key shifting points, the equinoxes and the solstices, March, June, Sept and Dec - within my Feminine Wisdom Way training, some virtually, some weekend retreats and some for companies and organizations. I do this because this yearly practice of pausing 4x a year I believe is something most of us where not taught how to do, but when we do it, everything in our life works in better harmony. It’s how I run my life, business, partnership, relationships, and grow what is important to me. Each power pause has a different focus and flavor depending on the time of the year. In Feminine Power Time, I can’t share with you entire power pause process for March Equinox but I can give you a 40 minute power pause with 4 simple but mighty inquiries - like a mini Harmony Adjustment for your life 1. Look at your sacred work and career - what is in harmony? What is out of harmony? What is calling for your attention? 2. Look at your relationships - what is in harmony? What is out of harmony? What is calling for your attention ? 3. Look at your health, wealth, home - what in harmony? What is out of harmony? What is calling for your attention now? 4. What if you chose to create from a place of joy? What would JOY feel like in you or for you? Bonus. What is ONE habit or pattern in your morning flow that isn't in harmony to keep doing into this next season? RELEASE this. Then what is ONE habit or pattern you can EMBRACE and place into your morning flow this next cycle? We don’t give up everything or go militant. We choose a few things to elevate and release, and also receive pleasure too. Tune in. Listen to the power pause. Journal on the questions. Invite a friend to do the Power Pause too and ask each other the questions. And support each other to make soul-aligned, supportive, sustainable choices. With Great Heart Christine ***** Go Deeper.

If you and I change how we think about our relationship with the planet, we will find a lot of power and wisdom to make positive change in simple but profound ways. In the last of our three part series on redefining our relationships, we dive into our relationship with the planet... which can sound kind of vast, and esoteric, but I can promise is you is indeed profound. It really is often the subtle places - if you know where to look and what inquiries to make bring you the most powerful shifts. Both in your larger perspective that guides your bigger life choices and in the practical everyday and how you feel within your life during this intense time on the planet. Join me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor, author and teacher, for this episode of Feminine Power Time: Making the Planet Personal. What is Your Relationship to the Planet? Just that question alone is a mind shifter and consciousness elevator ... my relationship with the planet... hmmm, what would become possible if you were intentional about your relationship?? Tune in to find out as we dive into a series of wisdom bytes meant to give you something to chew on and contemplate and a handful of wisdom inquiries to support you to make wiser, different choices that expand possibility. As we always do at Feminine Power Time - I will marry the timeless ancient wisdom with the modern day ... What if... We were stewards of land vs. owners of property? We saw planet not as a resource but as our home? We valued cultivating prosperity over accumulating wealth? We saw ourselves as global citizens vs. tribal protectors? We saw ourselves as part of nature vs. nature something we visit, observe or live in? Consider the choices you make in big and small ways: What do I take for granted, that it will always be there? How can I think globally and act locally? What simple choices can I make as act of harmonic defiance - that have the power to inspire others too to do things differently in way that creates harmony? And then lastly, I'll share with you a dis-ease that is affecting all of us, that is one of the root causes for the disease we see on the planet. I call it the IHF, the ignorant human factor. Learn how you can cure it within yourself and also use it to find compassion for others. And ultimately use it to fuel and focus what your part is to do a human's whose current home is earth. See you for the conversation! Christine ***** 1. Come over to the post : Women. We are Strong. We are Tired. We have had ENOUGH. https://christinearylo.com/2021/03/women-we-are-strong-we-are-tired-and-weve-had-enough/ 2. Save the Date: April 11th. The Overworked, Overwhelmed and Over It 16-week Path to Sustainable Success personal transformation experience. **** P.S. As we move into March Equinox, which is a time for shifting our patterns, so we create a rhythm that is in alignment I am going to be shifting the posting day of new episodes to SUNDAYs. I've been feeling into a new rhythm and this is what feels right for both of us. That way I can tape it on Fridays without feeling like I have to rush to get it out to you. And you can expect it on Sunday morning so that you can have it to set up your week. You will get it right to your feed. And if Sunday doesn't work, you can listen to it anytime that week. I'll talk more about this next week as an example of practically using the feminine wisdom way of working. But for now, you can rely on the Sunday rhythm until June Solstice when I will check in again to see how it's working.
Our relationships with other people are some of our greatest joys and challenges ... they stretch us in so many different ways... they are teachers, catalysts, and initiators. And by nature, they change over time. When we are in relationship to our relationships, we gain the power to make shifts in them before they become sources of drama, distress, and dis-ease. But let's be honest, most of us spent more time in our education learning math and memorizing facts we will never us, and not enough time on what it looks like to be a human who knows how to maintain, nurture and grow healthy relationships. Let alone how to have the kinds of courageous and compassionate connections and conversations that are needed to navigate the emotional terrain of our relationships with each other. While I could do a whole separate podcast on relationships, and maybe I will someday, I decided to focus this episode of Feminine Power Time #149 of "How to Shift Your Relationships so They Work For You." And I invited the man who taught me about 85% of what I know about relationship and who often has saved me from relationship landmines. This is #2 of 3 in our series of Redefining Our Relations. Join me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and my partner in life, love and business Noah Martin. Together, we dive into: Where the power lives to make shifts in the relationship that are not working for you How to tell when a relationship is not working for you Where NOT to focus trying to do things differently And How to identify your triggers and the ways you are creating the reality you don’t want How to see what’s happening with the other person which empowers you to change things vs. blame things We’ll share some practical tools you can use in real time such as: The power distortions to beware of : Co-signing and Control How to tell if you have a potential thriving partnership or a relationship its time to let go How to ask for what you need to create harmony What to do when conversations start to go sideways And then send you into the world to try this and see what happens - brave, courageous soul! Relationships are one of the ways we can create a better world for ourselves and the planet. It’s not for the faint at heart … but it’s where the gold is. See you there. Christine ** Resources 1.

Driving, striving, grinding is not the only way to succeed, achieve and live. Pushing to deadlines - ours and others - that make us sick and stressed out is not the only way to be productive and get stuff done. It’s just how we’ve be trained to work, nose to the grindstone, climbing mountains, giving it our all until there’s nothing left. But what if there was a different way? A wise way? One that created realties in which what really mattered got done … where we had space to breathe and savor our efforts and every day lives … where people were treated as human beings not machines ... and we motivated ourselves by energized inspiration instead of toxic pressure? This reality is not a fairy tale. It is a possibility. It is a perspective shift on productivity that empowers you to redefine success. And it is a practice - one that if you are brave enough to implement it in your work, career, projects, relationships and expectations will lead you to a lot more freedom, fulfillment and impact, because you are focused on the right things in the right timing … aka you are working in the flow vs. pushing forward ignoring the signs. In this episode of Feminine Power Time with feminine leadership advisor Christine Arylo, #147 Pace Don’t Push: A Wiser Way to Achieve & Succeed, take an exhale and prepare to release the unnecessary pressure you’ve been feeling from others, or putting on yourself. And then go into your life and start putting PACE DON'T PUSH into practice in your every day choices. Expect resistance. Expect fear. Move forward anyway, in the flow, vs forcing your way through. Here’s some of what we’ll dive in How do you tell the difference between pushing that tears and pulling that stretches What pushing feels like when you are wasting energy, time and money or trying to do things too fast Why do we push instead of pausing ? Why are we scared and resistant to resetting deadlines? Or moving delivery dates? And at the end of the podcast I will lead you through a visualization to: Reveal where you might be pushing and wasting your life force and resources. Give you a practice that will help you stop the push, find the pace of grace and work in the flow I am so looking forward to having this conversation with you. See you there.

It may not sound sexy - the Four Parts of Self - but that doesn't mean it's not super powered. In traditional schooling and training, we learn to over focus on the mind. In our society, we talk about mental wellness and physical wellness, but what about emotional and soul wellness? We read and hear about body, mind and spirit ... but what about the heart? Did you ever wonder why the heart gets left out? The models we use for understanding our selves, which drive how connected we feel and which ultimately create the perspectives and reality we live are lacking the full circle of what makes us whole humans - body, mind, heart and soul. The foundation of leadership and creating the world we wish to see starts with the relationship we have with our selves. So today in #1 of 3 of a Feminine Power Series: Redefining Our Relationships: The Four Parts of Self, Knowing How Your Whole Self Works, we dive into re-defining our understanding the Self...through these four parts and the relationship they have with each other: Know your mind. Know your heart. Know your soul. Know your body. When you really know how these four parts work individually and together, within you, you gain so much more awareness - of yourself and everything around you - which leads to so much more compassion, empowerment and ALIGNMENT. I poured some coffee and lit a candle, so we can have a deeper conversation, and exploration on each of these 4 realms. For each, I'll share with you a simple wisdom-led model that will help you get curious about how you operate, and give you more wisdom and insight to creating a whole life, that really does align and support all parts of you. From there, your capacity to influence what matters to you most expands, and the world on the outside shifts. That is feminine power, from the inside out. See you there!

Join me and one of my beloved mentors and teachers, Pele Rouge, for a "wise woman tea," where we bring the teachings of Earth Wisdom forward to give us a perspective on how to be and move through these intense times so we can thrive, heal, expand and elevate. Some of what we'll dive into in this session of Feminine Power Time is what earth wisdom is how can these teachings and it tools can help us now. Some inquiries that emerged and we'll explore through the eyes of earth wisdom is: What does it mean to be human? What are the basic rights of humans that honor people and planet? And how does that relate to what is really going on now on the planet? And the structures needed to lead us forward? How do we BE in relationship with Self, Each Other and Earth? What Divine Laws exist to guide us to follow and create a better life? What is the earth trying to show us? What would be wise to pay attention to? What is the path to getting into alignment with yourself? How do we get in right relationship with ourselves, with each other and the world? Some of the earth wisdom tools we'll share: The Medicine Wheel of Restructuring - for uncovering and re-leasing and re-patterning beliefs. The Relationship between the Feminine and Masculine energies within us and in the world The Medicine Wheel of the Human Parts The Wisdom Council Wisdom Bytes that came through Difference is a great gift. Difference expands. To the extent we can make room for difference, we have a much larger palette to create. Irritation is a sign you are either being guided a different way or there is something in you that is seeking to be healed. Pay attention to what irritates you on the outside world, and seek to understand how it lives within you. This is a time of remembering how to be human. About Wise Woman Teas: These are invitations to join me and a special guest who has spent a lifetime studying and teaching a specific wisdom tradition or realm of experience that can offer us insight, wisdom, perspective, tools to understand ourselves, others and these times... so we can rise to be better more conscious leaders in our lives, relationships, community, organizations, teams and world. We always start with the inquiry of how can this wisdom teachings, tradition or experience see a perspective and find wisdom to guide us during this time. We never know exactly where the conversation will go. But by using the power of inquiry, wisdom we can use always emerge. Pour some tea, vino or pelligrino and join us Resources 1.

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or heck maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Wisdom teaches us to use the power 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. Every year I do a episode that takes us through 6 super powered inquires that I'm feeling would serve us to consider - so we 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. Six is the number that creates harmony. 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. And this year, as I went to begin with inquiry #1, a bonus inquiry jumped in! A seventh inquiry. 7 is the number associated with going deeper than we've gone before so we can emerge in a more radiant, whole form. Perfect. Tune in with me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and women’s leadership and empowerment teacher, for episode 146: Stay Focused on What Matters This Year: 6 Super Powered Inquiries to Illuminate Your Path.

Every year in January I wait to do this special Feminine Power Time session until the timing feels just right. This year, it was exactly on the crescent moon, a moon about accessing deeper our deeper intuitive knowing from a place of stillness. It's also the "wolf moon" - the wolf being a symbol of free untamed feminine power, the teacher who guides through action, and the need for our packs and time to play. I’ve been thinking of you all for two weeks and what would emerge to be shared on the yearly “Feminine Wisdom for The Year Ahead” episode. This year I added... with Grace & Gumption (because we will need both!) 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’ flowed out. Tune in for this year’s Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead, - 2021, a yearly occurrence here at Feminine Power Time. It’s not about fortune telling, 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 that is just part of how the world is operating right now. 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.

There are big misunderstandings in our culture about visioning, goal setting & achieving that stem from a "go, go , go, work hard, stay busy" mindset that many of us have been trained to operate from.... which honestly set us up for more pressure, overwhelm and self-criticism vs. true, sustainable success. Even in teachings you hear about manifestation, the law of attraction and vision board - there's significant distortions that can lead you to creating realities, careers, businesses, lifestyles that are unsustainable... keeping you working hard & so busy, but not feeling sustained or successful. There is a different way to dream + succeed. That's what we'll explore & share together in the next three episodes, focused on supporting you to see the unsupportive ways you've been taught to approach goal setting and the start of the year... and reveal some other ways to think about and approach this year, so you really do FEEL successful and sustained at the end of the year. In this first of the three part Feminine Power Time series - #144: A Different Way to Start Your Year & Set Your Goals we'll dive into: Why Jan 1st is really truly the natural start of the new year - and how shifting your relationship to this can create both healthy time pressure AND spaciousness Why setting resolutions and goals are set ups for stress, pressure and not feeling like you are ever doing enough or where you want to be Elevating your language and metaphors around how to achieve The power of "Co-Creation" - which feels empowering -- vs the law of attraction and basic manifestation which often creates self criticism, self induced pressure, and fantasy based or external based goals Esoteric teachings that were used thousands of years ago to create and work in ways that created more ease than hard struggle. Feminine Wisdom Principle for Visioning and Intention Setting #3 and #5 - you will love these! I love sharing this deep and practical wisdom every year at this time as a different way to vision, succeed and reach out goals. Tune in. See you there, and for more check out below. Christine p.s.

Would you like to start the new year feeling clear - mentally & emotionally? Like your physical space to feel clear and coherent? Like to be free of some of the relationship drama or distress in your personal or professional relationships? And how would it feel to have more space in the last few weeks of this year and the first few weeks of next year? Of course our answers to this are YES! Starting the new year clear is not just a nice to have - it's what any wise person would do. But how do you 'do' that? You put into place simple but mighty practices that empower to you make choices that lead to you working and living and feeling in the f.l.o.w. (Focusing Lifeforce On What matters. The practice we'll dive into today is called a Power Pause and uses the wisdom tool of 'intuitive thinking inquiries' that reveal insights you miss if you only operate from your mental mind. In this episode of Feminine Power Time: a Power Pause: 3 Inquiries to Help You Complete the Year Feeling Clear, I will share the FLOW practice I use myself every year at this time, and we do as part of living and working the feminine wisdom way. It includes 3 questions that will help you Complete and put energy toward what you really desire to get done and take care of - in relation to your body needs, your money management, your home space and your mental space Bring 'twiggly danglers' in your relationships into coherency in a healthy way - parts of relationships professionally or personally in where something it out of whack or alignment, that you know deep down if you don't deal with will come back next year in a more dramatic way. Reflow projects and things you'd like to do but you know there's not really space to do until next year - which will create space for you to savor these next few weeks and the first weeks of the new year.

What would I love to complete, take care of or get done?(projects, "twiggly danglers" in your health, wealth, home or relationships, aka things calling for attention to bring into coherency). 2. What would I love to let go? (Emotional or physical twiggly dangelers you choose to leave behind in 2020) 3. What would feel good and aligned to re-flow (move this into next year)?
Wisdom teaches us that how you end a year influences how you start the next. Which is why every year at this time, I pause to tap into feminine wisdom to ask what do we need to see, what do we need to hear, and what do we need to consider as we walk through these weeks ahead. So that you and I can complete this year in a way that enables and empowers us to be as replenished, radiant, rested, centered and clear as possible. Not to hit the ground running in Jan, but to be wise and centered enough to allow ourselves the space we will still need and desire. Even if you feel like you have had plenty of 'space' this year, there is wisdom to share. Join me for this episode of Feminine Power Time: Feminine Wisdom for Completing an Intense and Wild Year where I invited the wisdom for what we needed to hear to flow through. In addition to the wisdom that flowed, I'll share: A simple year end Harmonizing Practice I do every year that helps me make sustaining vs. sabotaging choices Another practice for getting clear on how you want to feel as you start the year so the choices you make reflect that. Inquiries to ask yourself to get clear on what you really want to do vs. what is obligation or habit to do. Perspective about how to think about the last weeks of this year and first weeks of next year, so you can powerfully use the time to receive what you need and focus on what matters I look forward to the conversation. And a few surprises that showed up for me, in my own process, that I'll share. So grateful we are connected!

It is human nature to have grief - when we lose things, things change, or we look around at the state of our lives and world and don't know what to do. It's also natural to feel grumpy and frustrated about things not working out the way we want, to have anger. What's not natural - or healthy, healing or empowering - is how we have been taught as human to be with and release the grief or grumpiness. I believe we NEED to re-learn how to be with these very natural feelings, in our personal lives and relationships and in our collective society, it's part of the key to our own personal wholeness and wellbeing AND to us healing the collective societal separations. But how do you do that? Well, join me, Christine Arylo, for this Feminine Power Time: Grief, Grumpy and Gratitude: How to be with all 3 to tap into deeper wisdom and personal freedom. Where I will walk us through a process that helps you tap into each of these 3 feelings that your human heart and human body is no doubt feeling. Wisdom: Only once we can acknowledge what is or what has been, can we heal and release the pain, so we can elevate into new ways of being, in which we make our choices and create our cultures from wholeness. I taped this originally on the day after American Thanksgiving intentionally. I will share about: Why this day of thanksgiving and gratitude in itself has deeper roots that need to be acknowledged and grieved so we can create a world that honors all people and planet. The power of "HOLDING SPACE" ... what it is, why you and I both need this, and how to make sure it's present in your life. Where grief and anger gets stored within us, and how & why you may want to embrace a annual process for being with it and releasing it. I will also walk you through this 4 step process - the 4Gs for releasing grief and grumpiness, so you can tap into authentic gratitude and grounded wisdom. The result: You are lighter because you are not carrying all the grief and anger within you. Your heart opens and heals. And you gain more personal freedom, which empowers you to be a brighter light and a more harmonic instrument for others. So much to share!

Welcome to our first Wise Woman Tea episode, where I invite you into a conversation with one of my dear wise woman soul sisters - women who have attained a level of adeptness in a specific area that I believe can support each of us to tap into our own intuitive knowing, co-creative power, and higher intelligence. Often these areas are poo-poo'd or woo' woo'd away - discounting their significance to the 'real world' or to our practical needs or to what is relevant to topics like business, leadership and activism. When the truth is, these wise woman skills, arts, knowings and practices empower us to see and find what's real beyond the screen the mainstream overculture would like us to tune into. In my experience, the distrust or skepticism we have, or the lack of focus we put in these areas, is part of where we leak and diminish our power. When we embrace these wisdom teachings, skills, practices and arts and explore them with curiosity, we often are invited into a wealth of wisdom and new possibility we were previously blind to. For this Feminine Power Time: Perspective for Thriving in Intense Times, I invited Astrologer Leslie McGuirk who is also a writer and creativity expert who is known for "pioneering an intersection between medicine and astrology, revealing the fastest pathway for mental and spiritual growth" to join us. Leslie, is also really a dear friend, a woman I trust, who has helped me and the women leaders I've sent to her, to gain a better understanding of ourselves and how we are designed - to find more courage, compassion and confidence. We'll dive into three areas with the intention of giving us all PERSPECTIVE SHIFT for meeting these intense times as we step into this new year. 1. What is astrology, really? What isn't it? How come it gets woo woo'd and poo poo'd? How can we use it powerfully? 2. Perspective on what we are going through collectively in 2020 - what is happening? why is it happening? how can we be with it? 3. Perspective on how to walk into the months ahead, in a way that feels both empowering and present to what is, and open to what can be. See you there!

The choices we make in our every day for how we direct and give our energy, our resources, our time and money all add up to having a significant impact on you ... but most of us don't really see how these simple decisions are the drivers underneath us feeling stretched too thin, or not being focused on what matters, or just getting swirled up in the world. Which is why we are doing this podcast series! So your can be more aware of what's going on within you and with your choices ... so you can be empowered to make choices that are creating the reality you desire for yourself, those you love and lead and this world. Join me for #3 of 3 in our series called Embracing Our Power. This episode of Feminine Power Time focused on "Making Choices that are Right for you Now". I'll pull back the veil on how this is showing up in my life now, to hopefully help you see what is in alignment and not in alignment for you right now. Then we'll look at how you might be feeling and filling a need out there in your work or relationships or families that is causing you to not receive the support or space you need. And lastly, we'll dive into what choices your deeper wisdom is calling you to make ... things to let go of ... and ways it is time to step into the unknown Tune in. Dive in.

Within you is the courage and the clarity to make choices that are right for you - that cut through the chaos - that come from the deep feminine wisdom within you willing to shake up the status quo to stay true to yourself ... choices that may seem crazy to others but that will keep YOU sustained, on your path, supported with what you need. I call this the Feminine Super Power of Crazy Wisdom. And every year at this time, I bring it back up for us to work with. Because as it turns out Crazy Wisdom is Crazy Powerful. It gives you the courage and clarity to make different choices, that may defy logic. It's not reckless, it is rooted in the deep intuitive place within you that knows what is right, real and aligned for you. And now more than ever we need this super power. I'll share the full definition of Crazy Wisdom in this episode of Feminine Power Time #2 of 3 in our Embracing Our Power series... And I'll share more about how your intellect and intuition work together to access your deeper wisdom... how to know and feel how this deeper wisdom feels and works for you... And we'll use this super power to tune you into what your deeper, soul-led, Crazy Wisdom is whispering to you... so you can hear this deeper guidance through the swirl out there. I'll end with a series of 6 inquiries I use myself, and with the women in the Feminine Wisdom Way and the retreats I do at this time. Chew on them. Consider them. Go beyond what you've know to reveal the possibility and truth of you and the path ahead. Also - I do a reading from Overwhelmed and Over It (starting on page 35).

We have become so resilient that we have become too tolerant. We have said yes to keep doing more with less. Piling more on to already too full plates. Assimilating into ways of working and managing our lives that frankly haven't been working for a long time. Now is the time, to give voice to what is no longer sustainable for you... in your work, in your relationships, in your life design, in your health and wealth. And then look around, and realize this : It's not your fault. You are not alone. And together, we do have the power to change this. There are MANY many women and beings who feel the same way - overwhelmed, overworked and over it. Tired of over stretching themselves to make it work, make ends meet, get things done. We've been talking about this for years at Feminine Power Time. And we are at the breakthrough or breakdown point ... which will you choose? I invite you in to this three part series of Feminine Power Time : Embracing Our Power... where we will tap into the wisdom in the new Overwhelmed and Over It Book to explore and activate the ways we collectively and you individually can embrace and embody our power to STOP what's not working, SUSTAIN ourselves and those we love and lead, and RE-IMAGINE and RE-DESIGN the new. The first episode in our series invites you to activate your power of taking a stand to say NO MORE... i have used this many times to make a change, call in the Universe's support and start making small but significant shifts that lead to the bigger shifts that have set me free. Tune in. See show notes below for some of the inquiries and steps I shared. And the page numbers I referred to from Overwhelmed and Over It - and get your copy of the new book! www.overwhelmedandoverit.com See you there. Together, we will walk through this, re-imagine and re-design how we and the world work, and rise. Christine **** Dive in for more... 1.

Set up in your life? Steps to embracing your power to catalyze shift to happen 1. Draw the NO MORE Line as your wise self - speak the NO MORE out loud to yourself and the Universe 2. Release the mind from needing to know HOW. Ask for the Universe's hand in showing you the path. 3. Voice your NO MORE stand to another person, releasing any shame or guilt ... freedom!
Did you ever consider there are ways that you are putting pressure on yourself which are stressing you out that you actually have the power to change? And as a result free yourself from some of the stress, anxiety, frustration, uncertainty, overworking, etc. that you might be feeling? There's plenty of stressors out there in the world that you can't change. And there are many ways you can create some space and ease for yourself, if you can reveal the 'self induced' pressure that most of us are blind to. Which is why for our #3 of 3 Feminine Power Time episode in the Lighten Your Load series: "Release Yourself from the Unrealistic Expectations Stressing You Out" we will dive into 3 areas where we most often create toxic, unnecessary pressure which we have the power to release. The world has changed. Our worlds have changed. Which we need to change our expectations for how we work, how much we can get done, and what we need to be supported and sustained. Instead of just doing the same or more with less, instead of embracing the unrealistic time frames for achieving things or growing, instead of expecting people to be different than they are ... embrace your power to stay centered and sustained by releasing unnecessary expectations. Then exhale :) As you tune in, with me, Christine Arylo, consider: 1. Where am I holding myself to unrealistic expectations about how much I should be able to do, or how much I can do, in a day/week/month/rest of this year? 2. How am I holding myself to unrealistic expectations for how fast I should be able to achieve a goal or make something happen? 3. How am I holding others to unrealistic expectations to be or act or show up a certain way, that if I was being honest about who they really are, would free ME of the pain/struggle/frustration I feel?

It's time to activate and utilize one of the most powerful tools we have to stay centered, sustained and focused on what matters - the Power Pause. This one, gets us focused the last 3 months / 4 moon cycles of the year. There are many things you could do these last 3 months of the year, but what is really most important to you? What will bring you the best returns ? And what shifts in your habits, patterns, and structures are needed to support you in this last cycle? Wise women know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support them to grow their work, wealth and relationships, to support their health, and to keep them focused on what matters. The September Equinox offers you insight to illuminate where the imbalances currently exist in your life & how to reset yourself and refocus your life force - especially the ways in which you are over giving and under receiving, the habits that may have worked in the summer but won't support you now, and the ways in which making changes to your home, health and wealth can support you to end your year strong, sane and supported. In this Feminine Power Time : POWER PAUSE: Reflect, Rebalance and Reset Your Focus at Equinox ... and exhale! 3 Inquiries to Get Focused on What Matters Most the Last Part of this Year & Feel Good About What You've Already Done... Women's leadership and empowerment advisor and teacher, Christine Arylo, marries her MBA business background with 15+ years of wisdom and spiritual study in practical ways that can support you to elevate out of overhwelm, stay focused on what matters, shift sabotaging habits and take care of small things that make a big difference. Tune into this Power Pause and: Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year - and how this practice can yield big returns in your business, career, relationships and health/wealth/home Experience the feminine way of growing our work and impact vs tackling projects, driving like a torpedo, or pressuring ourselves to make things happen too fast Be led through a visualization and meditation to: Feel good about what you have already done this year. Reveal the imbalances - work, relationships, health, wealth or home - that need attention. Consider what you need to bring the imbalances into harmony, so you have what you need Gain clarity on how to best focus your attention the last part of this year - what will bring you the most meaningful and abundant harvest? Power Pauses are a form of feminine leadership which teaches us to work in harmony with the natural cycles of how the material and mystical world both work.

Being able to stay centered within uncertainty in normal times is challenging, but pile on all of the intensity happening right now that is igniting fear and chaos within and around us, and even the most seasoned yogini would fret, freeze, flail or fragment. Turn off the chatter outside and inside, and come to this session of Feminine Power Time, to exhale, BREATHE, and tune into a deeper wisdom, thought shifting perspectives and practical practices to put into place to meet the uncertainty and step powerfully into the unknown. In part 2 of our Lighten Your Load Series "Handling the Uncertainty and the Unknown" we will dive into: Getting clear on how much training you've actually had for dealing with the current levels of uncertainty How we strengthen our 'super power for being with and stepping into the unknown" - like re-imprinting Basic Trust, re-leasing Primal Fear, and Seeing Different Levels of Reality (yes, we are going to put our wise woman / being glasses on) How to create structure within the chaos that don't have you holding your breath ... you can't hold your breath til XYZ is over or some event passes And More. Tune in. It is very intense right now. And this intensity as been building for years, maybe thousands. We'll talk about time and where we are as a culture as we start this session. I'm here. We are in the midst of a massive transformation. How we walk through this is what matters. Sacred transformation - we are devoted to the change, awake and aware at a collective and individual level, not spiritually bypassing or staying stuck in the mass consciouness of the material world. There is wisdom. There are tools. Together, we can and will heal, stabilize and lead the way to the new. See you there. Much love, Christine *** More resources and ways to connect and go deeper 1.

The amplified energy, chaos, fear and angst in what is called the "collective field" affects each one of us, and in today's intense times is short circuiting us, and stirring up anxiety, anger and ache within us that 1. Isn't serving us 2. Doesn't help anyone 3. Will make us mentally foggy and physically and emotionally unwell and 4. Keeps us in reactivity mode vs. in response mode, where our power is. We just don't SEE the negative affects of the collective field until it's gotten to be TOO MUCH, and we are in overwhelm or worse, reacting from anger, anxiety and grief. So, what do we do? We get wise. We get aware - of both the field (what it is) and our own internal triggers and warning signals of when we are being affected. We put practices into place proactively to strenghten our magnetic field. To release the anger, anxiety and grief. To reset our systems. And we embrace that while we do need to be AWARE of what is happening, ACKNOWLEDGE what is not okay with us, we cannot take it all on. I am creating this three part series of Feminine Power Time for you so you can "Lighten Your Load"... be with what is in a conscious connected way without getting flooded, sick, triggered, overwhelmed or overwraught. We really do need deeper and elevated perspectives, and super powered practices to move through this time. That's what we do here! Join for this episode #133 where we focus on dealing with the anger, anxiety and ache caused by the UNIVERSAL COLLECTIVE FIELD ... all the things in the culture, society, natural disasters, pandemics, environment, media, politics that are affecting us in BIG WAYS energetically, emotionally and physically and psychically, and mentally. Then next week we will dive into dealing with the anger, anxiety and ache that comes from so much UNCERTAINTY and UNKNOWN. and the next week from the UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS of what we should be able to get done, do, produce, etc. during this time. See below for a list of the Stay Harmonized practices I share in the episode. As well as happenings, trainings and more coming up. Wherever you are, know you are held and guided.

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. Which is why I'm finally, after two years of dreaming about it, starting this series of Fierce Grace Talks now for us. These will take place throughout the year, inviting you into a conversation with me and a being who I have witnessed embodying fierce grace in the devotion to their sacred work and in the presence publicly and privately. Since we just literally sent my fourth book off to the printer this week, I was inspired for us 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 JOIY 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, 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.

If you were to ask me what is one of things that has been the most supportive to helping me bring my sacred work into form, grow in my career and stay true to my path, make bold changes in my life, move past my own doubt and fear to find clarity and courage I would tell you - Sisterhood. Not networking. Not professional trainings where everyone shows up and pretends they have it all together. Not the number of followers on my social media. Sisterhood that is rooted in straight up love. Now before you go getting images of some sappy hallmark card or some kumbaya circle of women holding hands, let me invite you into a conversation that I hope will open your eyes and heart to what sisterhood is and how it relates to the real, whole life success we desire. Because if you and I are going to make it through this transformational time, we need to elevate our understanding and our tactics for how we go about creating the supportive sisterhoods I believe we need to show up for ourselves and what matters to us... to bring our purpose and potential into form... and to stay, harmonized, healthy and happy along the way! If you and I want to create the world we desire - for ourselves and what matters to us, we need sisterhood. And I mean need. For the last in our 3 part series on The Power of Love, I invited a woman who has dedicated her life's work to sharing and teaching people the science, art and heart of relationship in the realm of friendship - not just in the nice see you on Saturday kind of way, but in the way that stamps out loneliness, isolation, doing it all on your own, and even burnout. Her name is Shasta Nelson, she and I have been friends for over 10 years, and through that time have grown that friendship that stemmed from our common missions and work in the world, into a true sisterhood. And we are both birthing our new books together this year - Shasta's The Business of Friendship, focused on developing more meaningful connection within the workplace and in our careers. This is the first of a series of Catalyzing conversations I will be hosting on Feminine Power Time, where I want invite you into a conversation with me and another powerful, soul centered catalyst for change that can take us all to another level of consciousness and empowerment. Tune in. Pour some tea. I myself had a catalyst breakthrough - more on the podcast: The Power of Sisterhood to Create the World You D: And make sure to check out Shasta's new book: The Business of Friendship: Making the Most of Our Relationships Where We Spend the Most Time.

You know the saying that our relationships are some of our biggest teachers? Truth. And today, as we go through this major time of transformation and change, we can either embrace our relationships as ways to heal, so we can create realities based in wholeness instead of woundedness... or we can keep re-creating the same wounded patterns, acting them out over and over. I vote for embracing our power, and taking a look at what is going on in our relationships right now. To shine the light on what is going on in your heart right now when it comes to your closest relationships - the ones you struggle with, the ones from the past that are still lingering on, the ones that bring you support and joy and want to grow and the ones that you desire to create that don't exist yet. If we want a world, a society, systems and ways of thinking, that are rooted in respect, love, kindness, compassion we have to look within and at our own relationships too. All lasting systemic and social change must be rooted in personal transformation and healing. Which is one of the reasons we have not broken through as a society, yet, through what is clearly so not working. What would be possible if the relationships you had currently came from wholeness vs. your wounds? What if your relationships didn't have to be things you worked on or worked out or figured out? What if you could learn and evolve through love, vs pain and drama? What would be freed up for you if you could let go of any of the lingering resentment or righteousness between you and others? What would be opened up within you if the relationships or kinds of relationships that typically are challenging and painful for you, became sources of learning through joy vs. struggle? You would have a lot more energy, time, clarity, support, and connection. I know this to be true because for 20 years I have embraced relationships as a teacher for me. In this episode of Feminine Power Time, #2 of 3 in the Power of Love Series, we focus on the power of relationship. I invited one of my "teachers" to join us - the man who has taught me how to learn through love vs. pain in my primary partnership. He is my life partner Noah Martin, who is also an amazing relationship adviser and a human that just gets relationship and how to be in it powerfully. In The Power of Sacred Relationship to Heal & Free Yourself and the World we'll dive into: The triangle of transformation - how to think about and see what's happening in your relationships and find the power to both heal what is and has been, and create what you desire. What real partnership is, why you don't want a romantic relationship, and how the mainstream imprints have create unhealthy mindset about relationship How to identify where you might have plugged people into your love cracks, keeping you stuck in cycles of relationships that aren't healthy or happy How to identify your relationship teachers and transform them into vessels for your elevation and liberation How to release energetic ties of blame, shame, anger, resentment without condoning others behaviors (so you are freer). We'll dive deeper into the healing and freeing part of the triangle of transformation today because if we don't go there and get real about what it takes to truly return to hearts that are WHOLE vs full of HOLES, we will just keep recapitulating the same wounds in our lives, that then creates the society and systems we know are not working. Lets use the power of love to do things differently! See you there.

We talk a lot about the power of the mind, how thoughts create our realities, personally and collectively. And while that is true, here's the deeper truth: our heart is our true power center. It's the heart and it's wholeness or it's woundedness, coupled with the cellular imprints within our bodies that inform our thoughts, which drive our actions, which create the realties all around us. Right now at this time on the planet, our hearts and our bodies are being triggered to react from the wound and deeply embedded imprints rooted in fear, shame, blame. Even for those who have been 'doing their inner work' for years, decades... even for people who are educated and trained in mental health, emotional wellness, and spiritual development... WE ARE ALL BEING TRIGGERED, or like i like to say, BEING INVITED TO HEAL our WOUNDED HEARTS SO WE CAN BE FREE TO LEAD AND LIVE FROM OUR WHOLE HEARTS, rooted in wholeness, wellness, aka LOVE. Choosing to embrace and dive into your own healing is an act of sacred activism ... being the change, the healing, you desire to see in the world. Which is why I am creating this next three-part series for us at Feminine Power Time all about tapping into and working with THE POWER OF LOVE ... not in some kind of mamby pamby, meme, fluff, greeting card kind of way, but in the straight up, deep dive, get to the root of what is real and true kind of way, so we can create lives, relationships, families, systems, economies, governments, healthcare, and more rooted in wholeness vs. recapitulating wounds. When we return to wholeness within our own hearts, we will finally begin creating family systems, organizational systems and society systems that cultivate wholeness and wellness by design. There is a beautiful wisdom teaching that says: Put Love at the Center of All of Your Choices. What would be true if you did put love at the center of all of your choices? Not the self sacrificing love, where you don't get what you need. Not the romantic kind of love we see in the movie screens. I mean real LOVE. Pure love? What would become possible of we put LOVE at the center of how we designed our systems and societies and organizations? Not in some fluffy pink cloud kind of way, but real true love, compassion, care, gratitude, courage, passion, heart wisdom, trust? These are big questions that have the power to bring us all through this. But we have to break this down to work with it practically. If you want to change something on the outside - in your life, in the world, in any situation - there is only one place to begin, if you want lasting transformation vs. just another lesson from the Universe you keep getting again and again. Self-love. Tune into this episode of Feminine Power Time, #1 of 3 in the Power of Love Series: The Power of Self Love to Heal & Free Yourself and This World. This will not be fluff or ear candy. Or spiritual platitudes. Trust me. We will dive into, get real and open to wisdom about: What self love really is and why it is relevant to every choice we make big or small What's happening for all of our hearts and bodies, even those who have done lots of inner work, and what's needed now. What you want to know about how your heart works so you can discern between whether you are making choices and thinking thoughts rooted in woundedness or wholeness You'll Gain Self Awareness of what's wanting to heal in your heart now so you can be free to lead yourself, those you love and this world. Be led through 3 Inquiries that will help you create more clarity and self-trust Receive a big dose of love - medicine of self love - so you'll just feel good after! The opportunity is to use the power of self-love to heal the wound, return to wholeness, and then free, we lead & rise. Tune into this session on the power of self love. May it serve to support you to create the life and world you desire. Love is that powerful. with heart Christine **** Go Deeper. Learn More. Summer Programs 1.

There is SO much you could do the rest of the year, so much and so many you could give to, but what really matters to you?? Given the current level of intensity and uncertainty, how can you create stability and sustainability for yourself and those you love and lead financially, emotionally, mentally, physically? How can you work with the transformational energy happening to create more of the reality you desire for yourself and this world? These are some of what we will explore together in this power pause, so you can gain clarity and focus for the next part of this year. One of the smartest things we can do at the mid year point is to pause, reflect, realign and redesign what we are going to focus our life force, resources and time on. This is true for how you run your work life - business, team, organization, career, classroom, etc. And how you run your personal life - wealth, health, home, relationships. For SO many reasons. This is what I call taking a Power Pause. It's a feminine wisdom way practice and a feminine leadership sustainable success principle. It's how we make sure we create realities that are both successful in what we desire to create and cause AND that are sustainable. It's also a best practice for getting out of overwhelm and the feelings that you are never doing enough or have enough. I've been doing Power Pauses myself for a decade and every year at this time I teach mid year power pauses, which I call FLOW for focus your life force on what matters, in many different forms. A virtual program/retreat, in person retreats and for women's leadership groups and teams within organizations. For you beloved Feminine Power Time listener, 4x a year I do these special Power Pause episodes that include a series of inquiries that are like a Power Pause appetizer. They give you a taste of the full process, and enough of a taste to give you some wisdom bytes about what you truly desire this coming year. In this episode, "POWER PAUSE: It's Mid-Year, Time to Reflect & Redirect: 6 Inquiries to Get Focused On What Really Matters to You the Rest of the Year" I will share with you Why especially this year we are personally feeling so much pressure and how to make sure you don't react in ways that distract and drain you. The 3 realms of focus we are being called to consciously work with now in these intense times - focusing on the past to HEAL, the now to SUSTAIN, and the future to CREATE. Why our productivity, health and impact increases when we work with the natural flow of the earth In the Feminine Power Time, I'll take you through 6 inquiries focused in 3 realms of past, present and future - which I also listed below. I invite you to journal on them. Invite a friend or your partner to share about them. And then if you want to really receive the benefit of the mid year Power Pause, take the online version, you can do at your own pace. INQUIRIES: 1. HEAL: What inside of you is calling for a deeper healing and wholeness, so you can be more free to create the reality and world you desire? 2. HEAL: What in your relationships is calling to be released or redesigned, to free up emotional and mental space and open up your capacity to receive the support, connection you desire? 3. SUSTAIN: What do you need in place for your physical body to be strong, sustained and healthy? What practices / rituals are in place you preserve, keep doing? What new ones do you need? 4. SUSTAIN. In your work, what is already in place that you can maintain and preserve, and in doing so will create more stability and sustainability for you? You can receive from the energy you've already created? 5. SUSTAIN: In your relationships, what and who could you give life force and energy to this next half of the year, that would support, nurture and sustain you? 6. CREATE: What are you being called to create - bring into form, call, cause - for yourself or the world? How and on what do you choose to use your co-creative power this second half of the year.

The second in a 3 part series I titled SACRED TRANSFORMATION to guide us through these intense, changing, disruptive, heart-opening, consciousness awakening times ... so we can walk through this threshold of transformation in a way that leads us to a new way of living, leading, relating, succeeding that truly has the best interests of all life at the core... and so we have the energy and keep the momentum moving to stand what's no longer working, heal what needs healing, and have the energy to create the new way. Sacred transformation (which I defined deeply in part 1) is: being devoted and dedicated to change (no turning back), secured against violation and violence, regarded in reverance and respect, rooted in the intention of creating wholeness. Sacred transformation is challenging, and it's blessed, held by grace as we move through. In part 2 of this Feminine Power Time we dive into how we create significant and sustainable change so we don't burn out, numb out or let fear win. A few highlights: We'll use the four stages of personal and social transformation to guide us to see where we are, where we've been, where we are going and what's needed. The four stages of transformation. Awareness, Reflection, Change in the Moment and Integration, which leads us to elevation. The power of NO MORE! and #notonmywatch to stand individually and collectively for what we will no longer tolerate or accept in the 4 realms we are experiencing change: societial, systemic, generational and self. The second step we cannot bypass - Reflection. Why we must pause to reflect, listen and look around - not seek information but find and feel true compassion. If we don't acknowledge what is, and accept it, we cant be free of it ... even if our brains know it's not okay. The power of fierce compassion and how to be with the suffering of others and this world, to break open the power and wisdom in your heart, in a way that doesn't short circuit you or cause you to feel like you have to take it all on. The dangers we need to be aware of that can disrupt the power of sacred transformation - What keeps us from being able to eradicate or change these things that we know are not okay - and how to stay awake to the forces that want to create separation and polarization and fear and confusion. How to keep yourself emotionally sustained and in your heart - I'll share the two parts of our human and soul heart, and how to take care of both of yours. Pace yourself to sustain yourself. The waves of changes and catalysts are not stopping. There are a LOT of NO MORES! we need to change in this world. I'll share a way to think about this in cycles, and a wake up call to notice how the systems will try to get you riled up and full of rage to burn you out. Stay focused on your part, without guilt or pressure to 'do more' - We each have a personal transformation that's being required of us now. And we each have a part to play in the elevation of this world. We need to call BullS**T on the storyline we are not doing enough... where we create toxic unsustainable pressure... and instead stay PRESENT and listening for what our part is to take action on. We start this conversation this week. And dive into more next week. I will end us with a blessing, from the tree of life, the tree of wisdom, which was written by my dear soul sister Shiloh Sophia McCloud whose birthday is today. Tune in. May this ignite your fierce heart to see and embrace the power you have AND give you permission to do what you need to stay sustained through this shift. We NEED your light and love. Don't burn out that light. It's going to be a journey over years, not months, to destruct, preserve and create. with great heart Christine
We are in the midst of major transformation and change that is causing chaos, disruption, fear, rage and all kinds of emotions and situations that are hard to be with and hard to know what to do with ... AND we are also experiencing a time of great awakening, voices speaking up and out, people standing together, and the possibility of maybe, finally, breaking through to a different way to be and live in this world.. change that has been a long time coming. But...transformation can be a very dangerous journey... like a fire out of control, like a windstorm that takes a fire from a needed burn to a reckless fire that burns up everything in its path. Which is why we need some wisdom, perspective and practices for how to go through this massive transformation in a way that doesn't burn us out, create harming destruction, or cause us to get swirled up in all the chaos and lose our way. So... here's what we are going to do - create stability and sanity within the chaos and change for you by : First, get some perspective on the 4 levels of transformation that are happening - social, systemic, generational and self. So we can work with them, vs. be overwhelmed by them. Including how to see how generational and systemic transformation may be happening within you. Second, consider what it would be like to approach and embrace what we are experiencing personally and collectively as "Sacred Transformation"... Sacred means: devoted or dedicated to, secured against violence and violation, regarded with reverence and respect. Sacred transformation leads to wholeness. In sacred transformation, while the journey may be intense, challenging, and will certainly break apart and through the illusions, imprints and systems that bind vs. free us ... sacred transformation is blessed. So we move through the fire of transformation with grace. Third, we'll invoke some super power wisdom using the teachings of the 4 elements to see how to work with rage, blame, judgement, guilt, shame, fear, over-responsibility, paralysis in a way that fosters sacred transformation... So you can feel stable and clear minded and emotionally balanced (sane) on the inside ... and be an instrument for loving truth, right action and stay centered within. Lastly, we'll take this directly into 2 specific structures I think we all need right now ... Decompressing daily and weekly (the daily downshift and weekly system reset). Self awareness of your mind/body/heart/spirit - what's transforming for you and triggering you personally... what do you need to care for your core ... what are you letting into to your field, that is adding to the fire in destructive ways? Exhale. This transformation is a long time coming. We were born for this time. There is wisdom and tools to support us through. Be aware of the input you are letting in to your field. Ground. Root. Decompress your system. Look around for evidence of human-KIND and divine support. Remember you have the power of sacred transformation within you. There is a path, and we are on it. We are the ones. This is the first in a 3 part series on Sacred Transformation in Feminine Power Time. Come back next week for the next part.

How Do We Go From Here? Permission to Replenish, Reset and Receive. Hello dear ones... I sat down this morning to tune into what we really needed these next few weeks because whew! it has been a very intense several weeks. And I wanted to set us all up for the reset I am feeling our bodies, hearts, minds and spirits really need. Not to disconnect. Not to go back to normal. But to just take a BREATH. Our nervous systems have been at defcon 5. We need a downshift that gives us some space. So consider this a permission slip to reset, tend to your weary heart ... and also look ahead to how to approach these next few weeks and months. After an intense and powerful day in sisterhood and circle with women who are choosing to show up for co creating the new world, but are also tired and need a break, I taped this for you this evening before I head into my weekly Sabbath practice. Where I just tune into being present with my surrounding as is - no media or electronics. Tune in. It's deep and practical. See you there.

What's Your Life Really About? Choosing What to Center Your Life Around Next. #4 of 4 in the Harmonize to Rise Series on Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo. Hello dear ones... I have an inquiry for you that I don't want you to answer, but I want you to consider, to chew on, to explore, to open your eyes to.... What have you been constellating your life around? What do you desire to constellate your life around going forward? This is what we call a wisdom inquiry that has the power to break you through to expanded levels of self awareness and possibility. It gets you tuned into what is really true and right for you now ... it taps you into your power to be a co-creator in your life design and reality ... it empowers you to see how the choices you are making are creating the reality that you've been stuck in or living ... it catalyzes you out of where you are stuck and what no longer serves so you can be free to create what it is you truly need, desire and are here to experience. As we walk through this global catalyst.... we don't want to go back to normal or keep assimilating into ways of working, living and relating that are not working for us. Wake up your wise woman eyes. Reopen your eyes that see wonder and possibility beyond the mind. Let your wild woman whose not bound by limitations or rules free. Feel your power. Expand your consciousness. This week we explore the power of being conscious about what is at the center of your life - and how you can use this inquiry and the framework I share to see what's not working for you any longer and find your power to create something different. This framework works for the self, for our family/relationships, and our society. What you choose consciously or unconsciously as the centerpoint of your life is what drives your choices, decisions about home, money, career, relationships, everything. When you are the leader of your life - you consciously choose to shift this over the course of your life time. And when you do, you are so much more empowered to create a reality that supports and sustains you. And that creates the reality that gives you peace, harmony inside. It's deep and practical. See you there. With great heart, Christine *** Coming up - RSVP to get the invitation to 1. FLOW the Mid Year Power Pause - www.flowpowerpause.com Starts June 14th - space to really tune into what is right and true for you moving forward. To create a path for the year ahead. 2.

Have you been feeling any of the emotional waves? In yourself, where emotions like anxiety flutter or flow through your heart? Or emotions like frustration and anger come welling and firing up and out? How about in others? Noticed or picked up other people's fear, frustration or feelings and not known what to do with it? Or found yourself feeling deep grief where you just have to sit down and cry or go to sleep - that's you falling into the waves of the collective emotions. In the reality that we are moving through you should expect your emotions to rise up ... you just don't want to let them run you. You should expect other people's energy to try to stir up and muck up your own .... but you don't want to bite at the invitation, or get your emotional field meshed up with theirs. And you should expect you are going to have days, hours where it's all just too much, and you need to release the energy of the collective your feeling. But how to you BE with your emotions, without being run by them? How do you be present with others without taking on their stuff? How do you stay informed without being infected, by the ENERGY of fear that is the bigger danger that can take hold? How can you work with this energy to support your personal transformation and elevation? That's what we will dive into in this episode of Feminine Power Time, 122: Riding the Emotional Waves: How to Work with Your Feeling to Reveal Wisdom, Power and Healing, #2 of 4 in our Harmonize to Rise Series. This global catalyst that is affecting every human on the planet isn't something to get over, or wait out ... it is a powerful force you and I can work with, if you wake up to where your power is, where your fear is (YOUR HEART)... and then take the steps to be with what's within you... so you can heal it, release what you no longer need (harmonize) ... and then rise up and through the possibility at catalyst of this magnitude offers us. During intense times in which are emotions can get stirred up like big wave, you want to have the self awareness and skills to stay on your surfboard, know when to stand and when to just lay down, and what to do when you fall off your center and into the emotional swirl so you can get back on. Some of what we'll dive into today: What love cracks and overculture imprints may be unconsciously driving your emotions and thoughts Is your mind or your heart your power center? Which do you know better and trust? Discern between YOUR emotions and the emotions of others or the collective - so you only work with yours Don't miss this opportunity to release and heal the heart and soul parts within yourself that have kept you small, striving, driving, trying to succeed in the overculture, martrying yourself or too busy to realize you aren't living in alignment And then embrace your power GO DEEPER and find the wisdom your heart and body have for you. Then instead of setting up camp in a new normal that is only 5% better or running back to all the ways your life wasn't working in harmony before... you will have insight and super power to expand beyond what your mind can see, to step into the reality your heart and soul knows is possible. See you there! Note the fierce feminine came flowing through at the end ... so make sure to listen all the way through. With great heart, Christine **** To Go Deeper ... 1.

Harmonize. To get yourself aligned on the inside so that the choices you make and the way you show up in your day to day come from the deeper truth and knowing within you. Harmonize. To choose to connect with your higher Self - your Wise Woman/Man/Being" - who knows how to walk through any threshold (change) because it is deeply attuned to Grace, the Divine, Expanded Possibility. I've been thinking of you all! Waiting for the words to come about what is needed to support us all to stay awake, aware, wise and clear. As we walk through what is called a "threshold crossing", a catalyst, a challenge beckoning us to change, as individuals and a society, culture and world, with lots of uncertainty ... what is needed is for each of us to stay awake, be wise, stay harmonized ... so together we can rise. This Feminine Power Time, 121: Harmonize to Rise: Wake Up to Your Wise Self and Let Her Lead, is #1 of 4 in the series on Crossing Over to a New World, not a New Normal. What we are experiencing in the world right now is like one of those major catalysts that happen in a life that gives you both the challenge and the grace to make significant shifts, quantum leaps ... The kind that can propel us into a world personally and collectively that can create more harmony, connection and wholeness vs. so much of what we've been tolerating or assimilating into for a long time. It is a challenging intense time... we need to be aware and with it, and we also don't want to miss the expansion and possibility here for us by running to find a new normal. Today, we start by diving into our own inner worlds - connecting to that deep wisdom within you ... to support you to get harmonized on the inside, so as you walk through this catalyst you can work with the energy and reality to expand and rise into what your heart and soul is oh so ready for. Tune in .... let's talk about how to stay present to what is... how to RESET your rhythm and patterns to support and sustain you through this threshold... how to get clear and real about what is calling for you to RELEASE so you can RISE... and tap deep into your wisdom self to reveal what you need to REMEMBER to help you walk through this threshold crossing to trust the process, walk step by step and rise into what is next. Wherever this finds you today, I am sending you much LOVE! Stay awake. Be wise. Stay harmonized. Together we rise. Christine **** For More Practices for Staying Harmonized, Centered and Clear 1.

Every year at the start of the year and as the quarter turns I do a special Feminine Power Time focused on spiritual insight and feminine wisdom for the intensity we are facing personally and globally at the time. This year, the intensity I think we can agree just wratched up about 25 or 2500 degrees. We are in midst of a global, social, and personal catalyst. Our minds want to make sense, make sure we are safe, know what will happen, and search for information. Our minds are not the tool we need at this time. Because this isn't about figuring stuff out - it's about being with what is... pulling our heads above the chaos to see a greater truth and pattern ... while also creating stability for our human hearts. This isn't the time to react and pivot ... it's the time to plant and ground and get clear about what you need to stabilize yourself and what and who you care for. To set the structures so you can stay harmonized or get re-harmonized when you get tweaked out, twisted up, or turned around (which you will). What's needed now is the deeper spiritual wisdom and mystical wisdom that we can use practically at this time to support us to strengthen our capacity to meet the intensity... and instead of holding on to the old or giving away our power to the systems or running back to try and establish normal we RISE UP and connect to a deeper purer wisdom that seeks to create new realities. But first we stabilize and harmonize ourselves so we can rise. And that is not just about our mind and immune systems. Hearts, nervous systems and magnetic fields too. I've been waiting to do this Feminine Power Time until I was clear on what spiritual wisdom and insight wanted to come through... I've been listening to what is real, what it needed and what our human hearts need. I sat Saturday morning with coffee in my A CUP OF LOVE mug, beeswax candle lit, and this is what came streaming through. May this serve to support you as we walk through this threshold. See you there. Much love, Christine Wisdom Inquiries 1. How can I stabilize myself, and who and what I care for? (Consider this for the next one or two months). 2.

There is no question that there is a lot of fear flying around out there... that is causing even the most wise and centered of us to question what is real? What should I do? What the heck is going on in the world? How do I stay safe and well? But also not fall victim to the fear machine that stirs up panic? In this episode of Feminine Power Time we will dive into the question - What do you do with the fear? How do you clear the fear so you can see what is real? What information do you trust? What are the wise actions to respond to whatever is happening in the world. Today it's a virus. A few months ago it was any number of natural disasters. And there will be more. These are the times we are living in. And ... while fear will rise up. We do not have to react from fear. We do not have to make our decisions around fear. We do need to be awake, aware, wise and safe ... able to discern. This Feminine Power Time is #2 of 3 in our Grace Under Pressure series: Superpowers for staying centered, calm and clear in a chaotic world. Join me as we dive into what I call Fear-shifting... including What not to do ... so you don't feed the fear, your own or the worlds How to look at fear differently, so you know what to do with it... yours, other peoples or the worlds, so you gain the power to calm yourself and ground yourself to stay centered, and as result empower others to do the same. Three powerful wisdom inquiries you can use in the moment to find the truth and your truth .. the practice of wisdom inquiries is So powerful. A grounding and rooting meditation practice that is about 3 minutes only, you can do it in the morning, or whenever the fear swirls up How to tell if the fear of everything going on in the world is confusing your judgement or amplifying your own internal fears - and what to do with the fear, to shift yourself into wisdom and truth. Fear-shifting is a practice. There are tools. Come and learn them. Plus I'll invite you to open up your eyes to SEE what you might not be seeing about what is happening in the world today. Question everything is what the elders say at this time. Let's make sure you have the right questions and practices to lead to wisdom. See you there xo Christine p.s.

SPACIOUSNESS... we all desire it. But we have not been taught how to cultivate it. We've been told to "find time," "Make time for self care", "meditate and be mindful" ... but time can't be found, self care is a way of life not something to add to your to do list, and WHY are we meditating and being so mindful? Feeling Spacious on the inside is not just some nice self care strategy... cultivating spaciousness is fundamental part of our ability to be powerful, courageous leaders... essential for accessing our inner wisdom to make wise choices... foundational to our health, emotionally and physically... and super power for staying young, vital and radiant. Cultivating spaciousness is a big part of what we teach and practice at our feminine wisdom school and in "Feminine Super Power Year" so it becomes a way of life.
