Phoebe and Eleni step into the new. They examine how to anchor a new way of being into day to day life through manifestation, somatic exploration, intentionality and self-observation.

• Our internal shifts may be noticed by others as changes in our physical appearance.
• Eleni offers insight from her somatic background. When we work gently with the body to change our external structure, a new perspective can open up to us.
• Phoebe more easily integrates "the new" with self-observation, otherwise she can fall back into behavior or old stories that no longer define who she is.
• We're natural manifestors even when we're unaware of what we're manifesting. How we experience our manifestations show us if we manifested them with our ego-mind or our universal heart.
• We accelerate change when we observe and let go of our old, worn out stories while also noticing the emerging new life-affirming way of being.
• During our class, we'll work individually and collectively with creative power and intentionality to see what new is showing up.
• Truth changes. This idea helps us to be curious, to experiment, to let go of fear and welcome change.
• A metaphor for understanding what it looks like to create change is how it feels when the fog lifts and the sun comes out. The colors are brighter and the air is clear.

Phoebe and Eleni examine their childhood relationship with intuition and how it has evolved. They look at the bigger picture of the role intuition plays in our society. Easy tips to cultivate intuition included.

Notes

• Eleni and Phoebe share how they experienced intuition (gut feelings/inner knowing) when they were young.
• Intuition can be invalidated, especially when we're young, which can create feelings of self doubt, guilt or being 'crazy'.
• Family or society's values and beliefs can inhibit our intuition.
• Being a responsible intuitive is both to do our deep personal work as well as develop our intuitive skills.
• Learning how to get comfortable being fully in the body helps with intuitive skills, including how to turn on and off intuition.
• Everything is energy. Intuition is just reading energy on a different level.
• Tuning into or even intentionally asking for signs and synchronicities in our day-to-day lives helps cultivate our intuition.
• Part of cultivating our intuition is to notice thoughts, images and feelings that may seem to come out of nowhere.
• Phoebe shares an example of a psychic who worked with the police as a way to highlight the importance of doing our personal work in order to stay neutral no matter who we're working with.
• If fear arises when working with intuition, get into your body and observe the fear without falling into it. Notice what happens to the fear.

Phoebe and Eleni explore what it means to follow your intuition, and all that it can bring up, by sharing personal stories about following a gut feeling. Intuition never tells tall tales.

Show Notes:

• How do we work with a gut feeling or an intuitive hit?
• Phoebe shares a story about when intuition saved her life. She describes her feelings of powerlessness, of being "tested" by someone, of being clear on what she needed to do.
• Eleni shares a story of following her gut with more subtle intuitive hits, and the various questions that it brought up for her.
• What's the difference between an obvious, in your face, intuitive experience and more subtle intuitive hits? The bottom line is the same: to create safety for ourselves and our loved ones even if it feels odd or out-of-sync with others.
• As children, we often experience a lack of validation of our childhood truths or intuitive hits, resulting in second guessing or ignoring our intuition as adults.
• Phoebe reflects on the silver lining of her experiences: it taught her how strong intuition is.
• We explore how embracing and building your intuition is synonymous to building an intimate relationship with yourself.
• How do you know if your mind is overruling your intuition?
• There are many playful ways to cultivate your intuition.
• How have you experienced following your intuition? What has it felt like, and what was the outcome?

Phoebe and Eleni explore how they live within big life transitions, ways they work with transitions (both big and small), and how to create a more positive and intentional relationship with transition.

Notes

• Being present through big life transitions
• Eleni shares her family's current big transition and how everyone is coping
• During transitions, children can be a barometer of how the family is doing as a whole
• Phoebe shares how baths with salts can help her to transition from her day to night time
• Transitions, whether big life changes or the small transitions we experience throughout the day, are opportunities to notice how we sit with in-between times
• How doing new things can be a transition to new ways of being
• Phoebe shares her experience with InterPlay and how she's experiencing this new exploration as connected and similar to the dreamworld
• Transitions are multidimensional, honoring the space between the old and new, full of periods of self discovery, family discovery and dynamics discovery
• Transitions can free our minds of expectations
• When transitions feel difficult our urge may be to make something happen or to create a distraction instead of waiting to see what wants to show up
• If a transition makes us feel uncertain, we may find ourselves inadvertently passing on that feeling to our kids or other people in our life. It's always a good reminder to check to see if we're transgressing into someone's space.
• Phoebe shares how she puts up a gauge or barometer in her mind's eye to find out how much change she's integrated from the transition she's experiencing. She also determines if there's any fear in her body that's blocking her from integrating the new to 100%
• There can be many reasons that a change is not yet fully integrated, including right timing. Sometimes change just takes the time it's going to take.

Phoebe and Eleni created a template for their Rooting Down, Expanding Out online course by accessing and translating symbols. They discuss symbols, how they appear to us and how to work with them. Length: 21:24

Notes

Symbols appear to us as portals, vortices, sacred geometry, emitting light and a vibration.

• Phoebe and Eleni discuss their process of connecting with symbols to discover the template for their joint course. This process included: collaborating to create a symbol that held the energy of the course; connecting to the course's symbol in a number of ways (including journeying into it; physically stepping into the symbol and embodying it).
• Symbols evolve and change like a living organism in this and other dimensions as different people relate with it and how they relate with it.
• When you intentionally sit with a personal symbol you may begin to feel the multidimensionality of life.
• Symbols may be or act as a hologram.
• Our dreams are symbols. When we dream we are astral traveling; we're connecting to different dimensions to bring symbolic information into our bodies and consciousness to better understand who we are.
• Exercise: You're invited to take 5 to 10 minutes to sit quietly with paper and pen with the intention to get clarity about something you want to birth. Sit feeling the desire to birth something or ask a question. Put marks or doodle on the paper. Doodling allows us to bypass the mind to get information from the core. Either post your paper on the wall and observe it daily or add to it daily. Remember connect the dots? When you're finished you can connect the doodles to see what you've created from a different perspective.
