In this special episode we bring you the second short channelled singing meditation to help you raise and empower the divine feminine in yourself and the world.

Here, Nikki shares another singing meditation with you (after episode #123). Since the first song came as she gave birth to her daughter Lolotte, she has been singing channelled shamanic songs, and is now also giving shamanic sessions to people who organically come to her open to exploring the possibilities. These sessions have been leading to intriguing transformations and shifts, and Nikki wanted to bring more songs to the community here on Going Conscious after receiving multiple requests after episode #123.

We invite you to give yourself these minutes to ground and align yourself as often as you feel called to. Do whatever feels good to you as you listen - lie down and close your eyes, sit still, dance, sing, or scream. Whatever feels right, go for it wholeheartedly! Just as Nikki has done here to create this channelling for you.

Please come back and listen again and again. Let's raise and rebalance the divine feminine together.

And please do give this little gift to anyone you know who could benefit from it by sharing this episode with your friends.

In this episode I read from the international bestseller which has just celebrated its 20th anniversary, the book which Oprah Winfrey keeps on her bedside table. You've probably read it, and if not, I imagine it's on your reading list. Here I revisit the book which help spur the early days of my spiritual transformation to explore psychological time, and how we are guided by the past and future, the consequences this mindset can lead to, and a strong reminder of why living with presence is the only path.

In the book, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle, we learn that we each have the agency to take ourselves out of psychological pain and to return to the present moment where there are no problems. In the now, we discover we are already complete and perfect.

Brenden is the Founder of Barefoot Ventures, the regenerative investment firm which we run together as I am the Founding Partner. In this episode we share the story of how we came to partner up on this mission to reimagine finance for good, and the core concepts that Barefoot Ventures is built upon.

Brenden is passionate about business as a force for good and the world of opportunities it is creating for investors and all stakeholders. He believes the regenerative potential before us will far exceed that of our extractive past.

We talk about how permaculture can lead to "permacapital" and the idea of a 1000 year fund, how to apply the realisation that we are connected to everything to the world of business, what the true role of capital is, long term value creation instead of short term extraction, why the soil should be our most valued asset and how we help businesses thrive and become regenerative.
