Embodied Love Podcast

Today I am joined by the beautiful Jannine MacKinnon for another deep, POTENT, and juicy conversation on manifestation and how working with sxxual energy and pleasure can support the manifestation process.

At the beginning of our journey we both felt we were banging our heads against the wall trying to force manifestation to happen, stuck in the doing mode, trying to control the process.

In this episode, we share about our personal journey to figuring out the manifestation equation and how we have brought our heart's desire to life through doing the deeper inner work, and through practicing sxx magick and embodied manifestation practices and rituals.

We also offer suggestions and practices to support you in getting started so you can bring your heart's desires to fruition too. I am so excited for you to DIVE in and receive this magical transmission.

In this conversation, we explore how perfectionism holds us back from the enjoyment of life & how to lean into more play, pleasure and joy in our lives, to listen to the wisdom of our bodies and reconnect to our innocence, our true essence, and soften into the waves of life.

Play As Medicine, offers suggestions and invitations to support you in reconnecting to your childlike innocence and play and explores how we can reduce the feeling of heaviness, contraction, and resistance on the healing journey and bring more lightness and playfulness that will support you to heal and integrate on a deep level and return home to wholeness, authenticity, and freedom.

Exploring the concept of transitions, transitioning through life and through the different seasons we all go through.

This episode aims to support you in deepening your capacity to hold space for yourself as you move through these transitions.

We all experience the transition portal a little differently. You may notice grief as you let go of the old, fear and excitement as you contemplate what's to come, confusion if you're unsure of what's happening, doubt, inspiration, readiness, longing, desire... just a few things that could come up.

Transitioning is shifting from what you have known into something new... the unknown.

This can be scary and uncomfortable and can stir many different emotions, sometimes we feel like we are ping-ponging, up and down, happy to sad, excited to fearful...

For me, transitions have more often than not been scary and brought a lot of anxiety, resistance, and fight. Not because I didn't want to transition but because I didn't know how to be with the intensity of the portal, the emotions, the sensations, and the fear of the unknown.

There is comfort in the known... even if the known is uncomfortable, there is a sense of safety being in the known.

But part of us longs for more, longs for this transition, longs for what's on the other side. The portal can feel dark and sometimes long... Like when will I come out the other side, can I just get there now, how much longer do I have to feel this...

The unknowing of "how long will this take" can be excruciating, and we are often looking, searching for "what do I have to do", rather than asking the question "what is here for me", "How can I surrender into this portal"

Many of us fight the transition like fighting the waves of the ocean, and eventually, we get dunked by the waves... This can feel overwhelming, but when we learn to lean back and surrender to the waves, we begin to ride the waves and over time we learn how to surf the waves.

In this episode, I offer insight and practices to support you as you move through the Transition Portal.

Often on the healing journey, we find ourselves on a mission to fix ourselves, coming from a deep belief that we are broken in some way.

This idea that if I fix myself, if I heal all the things, if I find this perfect balance of masculine/feminine, or whatever it is we think we need, we will be whole, happy, finally deserve or be worthy of and receive the love, acceptance and belonging we have craved for most of our lives.

But if you’re leading from a place of I need to fix me, you are actually signaling to yourself that there is something wrong with you, that you’re not loveable as you are and therefore must contort and change yourself in order to be loveable.

So you get caught in this trap of fixing, not feeling good enough, fixing something else, still not good enough, desperately searching for something or someone that will fix you so that you can finally have the love or the life you deeply desire.

 

Today I want to explore the idea around masculine and feminine energies, being too little or too much of one or the other, desperately trying to find some perfect balance, as if this would lead to something in particular…

 

Can you relate?

Relate to feeling too much or too little or something, trying to find some form of perfect, whether consciously or unconsciously but constantly coming up short… Like nothing is working, the feeling you must be doing something wrong, when will I finally find that perfect balance so I can have x y z...

 

I was caught in this self-judgment cycle many times on my journey and more recently noticed how heavily I felt I was in my masculine energy, it didn’t feel safe to be in my feminine energy, and in that pursuit to create more balance I found myself wronging, judging and shaming myself for being too masculine, and my being too masculine must be the reason I was having challenges in business, my relationship, motherhood, and really all areas of life…

I began to glorify the feminine and abandon my masculine, only shutting myself down more rather than allowing myself to explore and play with both energies, the dance of the masculine and feminine, the honoring of both, loving and embracing both, and knowing that they are both Divine, they are both essential, this led to the exploration and journeying into sacred union, shifting from separation and polarity to love of all, a deep devotion to love of all, love of self, love of all the energies that dance and intertwine within us.

 

Resonating with this conversation???

This is something we will explore more deeply inside The Embodied Woman…

You see masculine and feminine are not referring to Man & Woman, we all have both feminine and masculine energies flowing within us, and through finding sacred union within, we can find it without, in the external world, in our relationships, in motherhood, in business, where we allow space for both, feeling into when there is the impulse for action, inspired, aligned action via the magnetic pull, and when there is the magnetic pull to go within, to rest, to express, to be in stillness, to self-nurture,

This is the journey of the masculine and feminine, the dance between the two, it's not about finding some perfect balance, there is no such thing as different times, seasons and situations will require a unique combination, it's about building your muscle of discernment, reconnecting to your inner knowing, intuition, instinct, and expanding your ability to be with all that arises, to love all that arises, to play within both energies…

When you do this you open up to the magic of life, the magic of energy, the magic within you.

This is about loving all of you and calling upon the energies that will most serve and support you, your highest good and the highest good of all in each moment, in each situation, in each season…

Inside the embodied woman experience, we will support you to cultivate this within yourself, it will become your natural way of being.

In this episode, Amberlee and I explore the suppression and shaming of our fullest expression, specifically our expression of anger and rage. Exploring where this stems from and how the suppression of this sacred energy may be coming from a place of protection but is actually causing more harm.

Many of us suppress this emotion from a place of fear, the belief that if I express my anger/rage I will not be loved, accepted or belong. On a deep instinctual level, the expression of this emotion threatens our survival and so we hold it back.

In fact we hold ALL of it back, not just anger and rage but ALL of our expression, we dull ourselves down, holding it all in, trying to hold it all together, to stay composed, to maintain the good girl ways to fit in, to be loved, to belong.

But we never truly feel loved, accepted and the sense of belonging we crave... because we're not being our authentic selves.

This episode is about reclaiming your authenticity, fullness and expression, liberating yourself from the holding it altogether and embracing your inner wild, your expression, your magnificence.

We live in an overwhelming information time, consuming more and more and more, listening to so many different voices, opinions and truths, and many do not take the time to really integrate and embody what they are receiving.

A protective mechanism of mine for many years was to stay inside the analytical mind, without knowing I was avoiding my body and emotions and protecting my heart on a detrimental and actually harmful level.

I was confused as to why I wasn't manifesting the life I was envisioning... The law of attraction seemed to be broken... But was it really?

In this episode, I share with you my journey of awakening, descending, dark night of the soul, reclamation, embodiment and homecoming. On this journey I realised how ESSENTIAL it is to integrate the mind, body, soul, emotions and heart in order to consciously co-create with the Universe.

You see... You are always co-creating but where are you creating from? The conscious or the unconscious...

By delving into your underworld, healing the deep wounds buried within, feeling/expressing the repressed/suppressed emotions and reconnecting to your authenticity and heart, you will tap into the magic of the Universe, the magic within you, this is where you can truly co-create your reality and bring your dreams and desires to life.

Let's dive in...

Back with the beautiful Jannine MacKinnon with the deep conversation on the journey from Shadow to Light, an invitation to embody the parts of you that you were told you shouldn’t be with fullness and love.This is an opportunity to embody the parts of us we’ve kept small in a safe and playful way. Moving through this process creates safety and confidence in embodying these aspects of ourselves.

We explore a few key archetypes in this conversation: The disrupter, The power house, The slut, Open archetype, supporting you to embody our full authentic self.

 

Jannine will be guiding two AMAZING workshops inside The Embodied Woman Experience, From Shadow to Light, & Sex Magick.

In this conversation we explore her workshop and what it involves and how it will support you to embracing your authentic self and becoming the woman you most desire to become.

We speak to the parts of us that have been shut down since we were a child through what was mirrored to us from our original caregivers, society, and generational patterning.

How as women we have a tendency to contort ourselves and change ourselves in order to "fit in", to be loved, accepted and belong but how this actually causes more isolation and emptiness, and what you can do to move forward on your journey as your authentic, unapologetic self, and get those needs of love, acceptance, and belong met by being who you truly are.

Today we explore the concept and practice of Integration... You may have been in my world for awhile now and if so, you would have heard me use the word Integrate a lot. I have been asked many times what does it actually mean and how do you do it... 

Amberlee and I were talking about the importance of integration on one of our calls and how this is where the real magic is and how we really wanted to get this message out there for people.

So here it is... A conversation on Integration, I hope you find it helpful and supportive for you on your journey to wholeness, curiosity, presence and love.

All of you is welcome. All parts of you deserve space, to be seen, heard, witnessed, love and held.

❤️🙏
