Creating Change with Emma Bradford

Welcome to another episode of Creating Change with Emma Bradford!

EPISODE 36: During this episode, you’ll learn about reparenting your inner child within. As we go through life, when relating to others, there can be triggers that we find challenging due to our childhood wounds. How do you respond to the hurt, abandonment, or rejection from your childhood? How can you acknowledge that inner child within that wants to be heard, seen, and comforted? Listen as we delve into the world of the Inner child, finding the root cause rather than blaming others, acknowledging the inner child within, and tips to connect to your younger self!

Childhood Wounds and Triggers

[01:03] It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and feel that all comes from what the other person has said or whatever situation you are in. However, much of it is from childhood wounds.

[02:05] Finding the root cause of your childhood hurts and not blaming others in the present moment.

Acknowledging the Inner Child Within

[2:39] You don't have to blame yourself. Acknowledge the inner child within that just wants to be heard, seen and comforted.

[4:12] Connecting with your younger self.

Practical Tip

[7:01] Have an image of your younger self and spend a moment each day acknowledging that part of yourself

[8:35] Self-awareness and development don’t need to be serious. You can have fun through dancing, playing, numerology, and creative arts and cultivate the essence of the inner child on the creating change traininghttps://www.emmabradford.net/creating-change.html

Key Takeaways

● Let go of blaming others in the present moment, often it what they have said or done has nothing to do with what you’re feeling (within reason). And more to do with what story you’re playing out in your mind about the situation and what’s related to your childhood wounds.

● As adults, we can parent ourselves and be the parents we feel we never had. We can give that back to ourselves.

● When you deal with the past hurt, you won’t feel so triggered if something related happens again.

EPISODE 35: During this episode, you’ll learn about finding stillness within the chaos. How do you find stillness during the chaotic moments in life? Listen as I share a potent vision that came to me in a time of need, a still serene goddess. The different polarities, contrasts in life how they help us evolve, helping you to integrate polarities further. Plus some practical tips to connect with the stillness within chaos!

A Still Serene Goddess

[1:01] A vision of a completely still serene goddess many years ago in a white desert, and that serene look on her face has stuck with me ever since.

[2:54] We may have chaotic moments in our lives, yet deep within, we have the stillness of our own Soul.

Polarities and Contrasts

[03:41] We have all these polarities and contrasts, but thanks to the contrasts, we can learn, grow and evolve.

[04:18] If there are shadow aspects about yourself, things you dislike bring loving curiosity. Close the gap in between, create wholeness and recognize every moment you can connect to stillness.

Practical Tip

[6:38] Pay attention to your breath. Inhale, exhale and notice the moments or pauses between exhale and inhale.

[8:34] Navigate through your emotions in a fun and practical way through dance and creative arts on the creating change training https://www.emmabradford.net/creating-change.html

Key Takeaways

● Chaos isn’t bad. Remember, there is always the other polarity too that can help you navigate through the chaos, learn and grow from it.

● The world is about polarities. You can’t have one thing without the other. It’s about closing the gap between the two, creating wholeness, integration and recognising in every moment we can connect to stillness too.

EPISODE 34: In today’s episode, I share my passion for creative arts since kindergarten, the power of allowing intuition in creativity rather than focusing on the logical mind only, as well as my Soul art sessions that I now offer combined with NLP coaching. Tune into the episode for insights on how to reconnect with yourself through with colour and paint.

Passion for Creative Arts

[01:47] Creative arts is a big part of Creating Change, the training. I blended everything I knew about NLP, creative arts & therapeutic movement.

[02:15] The creative aspect of drawing and painting has been a big part of me since day one, creating in kindergarten.

Intuition and Creativity

[03:48] We all have the ability and skill to be creative. Often, we’re trained in society to focus on the rational, logical mind and overlook the intuitive.

[04:09] Many times I have found myself painting someone or something without even realising why I put that particular image only and later to realise it had a significant meaning to the person I was painting for.

Soul Art Session

[07:02] Soul art session primarily is about your intuitive message as you connect to the art. I always ask my client to connect to their own intuition when looking at the art created first before I share what messages I received.

[08:19] In the soul art sessions, I create a unique original drawing or painting for the client and then we have one-on-one zoom-sessions to discuss it. For more information, email [email protected]

[09:29] Soul art sessions are a wonderful way to reconnect, a wonderful self-gift to yourself and your loved ones.

Key Takeaways

● We can all be intuitive. We can all pick up on sensations and messages.

● Your ultimate guide, your ultimate teacher, is your own intuition. Not what I say now that someone else says, you are an intuition.

● Each person is an individual. Each person is going through their own life set of challenges and lessons.

● Human beings are creative in nature even if we think we are not creative.

Creating Change: The Art of Expansion, Connection & Celebration group training starts March 22nd... https://www.emmabradford.net/creating-change.html 

Soul Art sessions as part of Clarity pack... https://www.emmabradford.net/11-sessions.html

EPISODE 33: A big topic that comes up every year! At the beginning of each new year, many people look forward to creating new, healthy habits, letting go of unhealthy habits, and putting their best foot forward in year ahead. However, often motivation drops after a few weeks. Why is that? I’ll share in today’s episode. Here’s an episode with great tips for creating successful new year's resolutions.

Conscious Mind vs. Unconscious Mind

[02:48] We often set goals from the conscious mind while not paying attention to the unconscious mind.

[03:43] So much of what we do is based on the unconscious mind. So, get the unconscious mind on board with any new year’s resolutions.

Limiting Beliefs

[04:09] Find the limiting beliefs and ask questions about the new year's resolutions. If the answers are negative, that’s can be why self-sabotage can kick in.

[05:14] Let go of limiting beliefs by identifying what conflicts with your resolutions.

Practical Tip

[07:07] Get crystal clear on what it is you want. Do it for you, not for someone else, and choose what’s in alignment with your desires or values.

[[07:56] Ease off the pressure and allow yourself to enjoy life.

[08:56] One-on-one sessions to explore what’s going on with the unconscious mind and join create change the training www.emmabradford.net.

Key Takeaways

● The conscious mind is what we say we are going to do, and the unconscious mind is actually what we do.

● Enjoy life. The more we connect to this love in life, the less those unhealthy habits will play out.

EPISODE 32: In this episode, we delve into insights about what the year invites us to connect to. What are opportunities in 2023, according to the sacred science of numbers? I share the biggest question for the year, finding your own truth and why it’s the best year to encounter new opportunities. Tune into the episode to find out what awaits us this new year!

2023 Numerology

[01:46] 2023 numerology (2+0+2+3 = 7) and the global collective energy for the year.

[03:16] Identify your personal year number by adding the day and month of your birth to the number seven and reducing it to a single digit.

[04:04] Number 7 is known for seeking the truth, finding and learning new things. A great time to learn about spirituality, metaphysics, science or technology.

Biggest Question for 2023

[05:34] Seeking the deeper meaning of truth for you rather than following someone blindly or an organization without listening to your internal voice.

[06:05] Looking beyond the physical and connecting to your spiritual truth. If you don’t have a spiritual practice, it’s a wonderful year to start!

2023 is the year of truth

[07:23] 2023 is the year when truths will come out, new perspectives, ideas, and ways of looking at things.

[09:23] Year of personal awareness, diving into self-development & connecting to your intuition. This is not the year to override your intuition with the logical mind.

Practical Tip

[12:23] Connect with your curious mindset. Things will become clearer, insights will unfold as well, and you’ll navigate through different lessons and challenges.

[12:50] 2023 marks the launch of creating change. If you’re struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or feeling lost, join my training at www.emmabradford.net.

Key Takeaways

● Seek the deeper truths for you. Don’t follow what someone else or what an organization says blindly - find your personal truth.

● Look beyond the physical and connect to the spiritual truth. If you don’t have a spiritual practice, this is a wonderful year to start that.

● What’s the meaning of life? There are many answers to this, and no one has the full truth about it. We just have little snippets. The most important thing is you find your truth and take this opportunity to look within and recognise what’s within.

Welcome to another episode of Creating Change with Emma Bradford!

EPISODE 31: During this episode, you’ll learn simple, effective ways to help you navigate heavier emotions. If you are feeling a lot of sadness, anger, fear, guilt, or any emotion you might find challenging, you don’t need to hold on to them. There are ways to learn from them and then let them go with some creative and enjoyable processes. Suppressing emotions is not healthy for the body and well-being. Learn how to embody your emotions, allow them to flow, and let them out to live an optimal life.

Emotions

[1:01] - Learning how to navigate and release heavy emotions and related previous podcast episodes to listen to.

[2:09] - Everything is made up of energy. Emotions are Energy in Motion.

Being Fully Self Aware

[2:53] - Being fully aware of the thoughts that are influencing or creating the emotional state that you find yourself in.

[3:56] - We have a choice. We can transform our emotional state and story by turning our ‘should’s’ and ‘have-to’s’ into ‘I could’ or ‘I choose to’.

[4:29] - Understand that there are no negative emotions. Every emotion has a message and a gift. They are an invitation leading onto something else.

Practical Tip

[6:26] - Creative expression: Whenever you’re experiencing heavy emotions, find a way to express them creatively, whether it’s through writing, painting, singing, or whatever feels good to you.

[10:37] - Get into the body, feel the emotion, and dance it out. Through physical movement, we’re helping to release any trapped emotions that may be stored within the body.

[1:41] Three practical keys to get embodied and allow emotions to flow - breath, movement, and sound.

EPISODE 30: During this episode, you’ll learn how to reflect on your life experiences that have shaped who you are today and helped you to achieve and connect to your gifts. There are no failures in life, everything is part of the whole experience, and there are insights that we can learn from every experience.  There are gifts and opportunities in everything, even in obstacles. Today’s episode is about taking a moment to reflect back and look at where you are right now to acknowledge how far you have come, everything you have learned and how all those past experiences have given you gifts and opportunities.

Looking Back

[2:08] - Life is a journey of twists and turns, exploration and evolution to your ultimate destination, which is back to your heart and the core of who you truly are.

EPISODE 29: During this episode, you’ll learn how to expand your awareness and perspective to navigate challenges in life with ease. Living life and reconnecting with yourself is all about coming back to the heart, that loving essence that each of us has within. Living life in the present moment with gratitude and respectfulness recognising the life and the divinity within ourselves and others. Sometimes it’s easy to forget how incredible we are when we focus on all the should’s, the have-to’s, the material things, and the things we dislike about ourselves. Stop creating limitations. Keep it simple, set the intention, and reconnect with that loving essence within you.

Expansion Messages

[1:56] - Expansion messages from my personal practice that I’ve been sharing via email and how you can subscribe to receive wonderful authentic messages.

[3:35] - The intention behind expansion messages: I send them to help connect with the all-loving essence within that every single person has.

Coming Back to The Heart

[4:40] - One of my very first expansion messages that I shared with my email list on coming back to the heart and how this is the very anchor in life.

[5:48] - The part that I found beneficial for me: Perceived definitions can become hidden limitations.

[6:47] - Living life with presence, gratitude and respectful honour to the divine within all and yourself.

Practical Tip

[7:51] - Look into your eyes, see your eyes blinking back at you and see the life that is right there. That is the gateway to divinity, and it starts with your eyes.

[9:56] Keep it simple, look at yourself in the mirror, connect to your eyes and just recognise that life blinking back at you. Set the intention to recognise that and notice what changes.

EPISODE 28: During this episode, you’ll learn how you can maintain your energy, stay grounded in your own energy and navigate life a little bit easier. Each of us has this quantum field of energy around us, and picking and holding onto other people's energy within our energy field can affect our health and well-being. Today’s episode is a call to connect with our energetic body, be mindful of our energy and try some practices which can help clean the energetic field, revive and reconnect to that pure light that lives within you.

Attending to Our Energetic Body

[1:07] - Caring and attending to our energetic body just like we do for our physical, emotional, and energetic body.

[2:02] - Everything is made up of energy. Everything is made up of vibrating particles and energy running through them.

How to Be Mindful of the Energetic Body

[3:09] - Feeling and sensing energy, you can feel drained or uplifted in different spaces.

[4:19] - Why it can be challenging for those who are very sensitive to energy to be in certain environments or be around certain people when there is heavier energy.

[4:53] - Paying attention and being mindful of energetic boundaries to avoid burnout and absorbing people’s stresses, worries and fears.

[05:51] - Evening practice that I started using to clean and clear energies from my field that I pick up throughout the day in sessions with clients.

Being Intuitive of The Presence of Energy

[6:27] - If you are feeling drained, tired, or exhausted after being in certain situations, drained environments or people, that is a representation of energy.

Practical Tips

[17:38] - Set the intention. Imagine you’re standing under a wonderful shower that is showering you with bright light, and it’s washing away anything you don’t need to hold onto down into the ground to be transmuted.

[10:17] Connect to gratitude every evening before going to sleep to reset and come back to the heart.

Welcome to another episode of Creating Change with Emma Bradford!

EPISODE 27: Step into the power that’s always there, even in the most challenging situations – recognising choice. It’s easy to play the victim, it’s easy to point the finger at others and focus on how others have it better. Thing is what choices are we making in our daily life to support our dreams? A powerful episode, a must listen and share within your circles.

Side Note: I mention a mild swear word in this podcast – in case you have little ones around and wish to use headphones.

Luck & Privilege

[1:44] - I’ve had many people say to me “You’re so lucky”. Yes, I have a very privileged life in many ways, and in other ways I’ve made some hard decisions to be where I am today.

Choice

[3:15] - We always have choice. Pay attention to your choices in day-to-day life. Are they in alignment with your goals and values?

[4:40] - Challenges that I have faced personally – no steady income from 9.5 job, famio

[5:32] - Elisabeth Gilbert “Every job has a shit sandwich”, there will be things we like more than others and aspects of a job that we dislike https://asialenae.com/2021/06/24/elizabeth-gilbert-whats-your-favorite-flavor-of-shit-sandwich/

[6:15] Overall what do you want to experience? Overall, what do you want to prioritise? Overall, what’s important to you? Notice what daily little actions you choose that lead to the bigger choices.

Overcoming Limitations & Fear

[7:46] The ultimate choice - be the victim or make the most of an opportunity.

[8:00] - ‘Finding Excuses And Reasons’ why we can’t do something = means we are stuck in fear. “What loving action can I do now?”. Fear opens the door to courage; courage is taking loving action regardless of fears.

[10:00] Victor Frankl in his book ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ shared his difficult situation in a war concentration camp, he made a choice to make the most of a very hard situation so he could get through it and be of service to others. https://viktorfranklamerica.com/viktor-frankl-books/

[11:00] What are you choosing today in order to create the life that you love?
