Heart Portal

Friends, Welcome back to the podcast. Today, we explore 3 amplifiers or requirements for your expansion - all rooted in the idea of being fully present. Your journey of expansion will require you to introduce and explore 3 things, each an amplifier for your journey:

1. Surrender as am Amplifier -- we talked about letting go of reaching for what was or what will be as an amplifier for your expansion. I offered you questions to explore when it comes to surrender.

2. Pleasure as an Amplifier -- yup good old fashion, feel good, joy. What makes you feel good, what gets your heart beating, where do you lose yourself or get inspired by. Kids really were on to something when they would get lost in the pleasures of day to day life.

3. Gratitude as an Amplifier -- gratitude truly is a fast track t the present moment and makes you incredibly magnetic to more to be grateful for!

Take a listen.

If this is something you want to go deeper on, I invite you to join us inside The Heart Portal Digital Studio.

Breathwork has been one of the most powerful tools in my toolkit for meeting, and pushing past the edges that I’ve met on my journey. We meet for live online breathwork sessions 4x per month and can access hundreds of recorded session ranging from 90-seconds to 75 minutes inside the digital portal.

Friends, how are you as we turn the corner into September? 

As the month changes over inside The Heart portal digital studio we change our focus from the energetic theme of Your Edges to Expansion SZN. If you are like wtf are you talking about, each month inside the digital studio we explore an energetic theme, we stay with the theme for the duration of the month so we can deepen into it each week rather than hopping from topic to topic. I’ve decided to play with taking a similar approach to the podcast and see how it feels. 

September brings with it a new and amplified energy of excitement and activation. Like it’s time to assess how far we’ve come, recalibrate to where we are going and to start making moves in a big way. It’s like the party energy of August is over and now it’s time to get down to business. I almost look at September as an energetic new year. So, let’s explore expansion season and how we can harness the energy to supercharge our desires.

When you think about the word expansion, what do you think about? 

And, when it comes to expanding into your life what does that bring up? 

Let’s take a step back so we can take one forward. Last month we explored our edges, those sticky moments, actions and reactions that meet us on the edge of what we know, the borders of our comfort zone. The ‘resistance’ we face before we step into something, or make moves in our lives. In the last episode, I invited you to explore what sat beyond your edges, who you were without them, as you moved through them and beyond them. Truthfully, what’s on the other side of your edge is growth – a new path, a new way, a new level, a new perspective, a new life – an expanded version of who you once were and often a version of you that, until the moment you  moved beyond your edge, you never knew could exist.

As we close out the month of August and we close out one energetic theme and begin the switch to the next, this episode is going to be a short and crispy one. September inside The Heart Portal digital Studio marks the start of EXPANSION SZN. So as we close out the month where we explored our edges, today’s episode focuses on Beyond your edges. 

Theoretically, sometimes we spend so much time spiraling around, bumping up against and backing away from, repeating  the story of our edge that we lose sight of or our bearings with what’s beyond it – the vision of who you are beyond that edge. 

So my invitation to you in this episode is to explore that. Who you are beyond your edges. And I’m going to offer you some food for thought and some exercises on how to do that. 

Remember this.. Sometimes we spend so much time in the struggle or the resistance or the chaos that we lose sight of what we want, our desire, the vision, what we are moving for in the first place. The edge provides comfort, because it keeps us safely in the confines of where were are – the known. But you know that’s not where you are heading, that what you desire isn’t in te know because you wouldn’t long for it if it was. 

So let’s play with exploring who you are beyond your edges.

If this is something you want to go deeper on, I invite you to join us inside The Heart Portal Digital Studio.

How is your heart today? 

If you’ve been on this journey with me over the last few weeks, we’ve talked about meeting edges. Those sticky points we bump up against over and over until we are able to shift something to move through them. Edges are laced in fear, deep rooted beliefs that we’ve likely outgrown, old perspectives and all the usual suspects that keep us stuck or spiralling. 

The first step to moving through an edge is to be aware that what you are facing is an edge. Awareness of your edge. We talked about how to explore your edge and to recognize it for what it is.

In last week’s episode we talked about being aware of your edge…now what. I offered you an approach that will create some space so you know what to do to move yourself forward. You create space, you feel what’s meeting you at the edge and you invite yourself deeper through curiosity and you invite a perspective shift. All internal work. 

This week we deepen into and get into the tangibles on how to begin to pushing past your edges, moving you past the point of being stuck, moving you through the muck of resistance and stuckness. 

Let’s push these edges babe! Most of the takeaways from today’s episode are what we discussed, meditated on and breathed through in the most recent live session inside The Heart Portal digital studio. Let’s dive in!

ICYMI last week, I introduced the topic of your edge. The edges inevitably meet on our journey of becoming. 

What I mean by journey of becoming is this: I believe, we are here, it is our purpose to live fully expressed. To be so fully who we are and honor your you-ness that we couldn’t fathom living any other way.to be this fully expressed, embodied version of self, we will be asked to peel back the layers of who we’ve been taught, conditioned or shamed into being. 

It’s to move from misaligned to aligned. 

Good news/bad news – I’m not entirely sure if we ever truly arrive at our most fully-expressed self. That the journey is just that - a journey. One we deepen into and One where we constantly lose our way and find our way back over and over again. 

On this journey we (every single one of us without exception) inevitably meet edges – they are sharp, prickly and usually indicate we’ve outgrown or become misaligned with something. 

As human beings, our nature is to grow, to be in motion. Edges guide us and highlight what needs to be looked at for us to proceed. It shows us what we're outgrowing and offers an invitation to move back into alignment. 

But, for some, edges seem like dead ends. At the edges you are being given a choice – to sit on the edge your whole life, or to allow yourself to go to the depths to move forward into the unknown?  Your future self, this version of you you desire to be is waving you into the pool but your dick brain wants you to stay where you are. So what do you do? 

Do you succumb to the resistance and stay where you are – being thrashed by life or do you step courageously back into alignment?

Last week, my invitation to you was to start getting curious about when and where edges arise. You can’t change what you don’t know. I.E. Awareness is the first step to making intentional shifts. 

I invited you to get acquainted with where the edges in your life are, how they present, what they feel and look like so that you know the resistance or struggle you are feeling is in fact an edge. Now what. What do you do when you are faced with the stickiness of life, an edge that feels so sharp an uncomfortable, when you feel hopelessly stuck - WTF do you do? 

That is what we explore in today's episode. And I give you some homework (heart work I call it) for the next time you meet an edge.

Welcome back to the podcast, as you saw last month we explored the energetic theme of Leaning into Self-Trust. Well, as we enter August the energy shifts as does the energetic theme. Before we talk about what we are moving towards and exploring can we talk about August (these two topics tie together I promise!) 

I am Leo and it is my birthday month. If it isn’t obvious, I think it’s the best month in the entire calendar year. While most people my age start to get funny about birthdays and numbers - not this girl. In my opinion it’s a gift to even see another birthday so why not celebrate! I love my birthday, I’ve always loved my birthday. 

Over the last 10-15 years, starting at the beginning of August every year I begin to take stock of my life. I look at where I am, what I’m doing, who is surrounding me and where I’m heading and begin to percolate what I want from the year ahead. In effect my birthday becomes my actual New Year where, on the day, I set intentions, place the seeds of desires, declare goals, write my wishes. I cast the vision of who I desire to become or embody in the year ahead. I’ll usually give the year its own energetic theme (which I’ve done podcasts about before – see episode 11 on living boldly).

Here’s where the energetic theme for August ties in. On your journey of becoming or embodying the version of self you desire or envision yourself to be you will meet, bump into and be stopped in your tracks by edges – it is inevitable and it is a tale as old as time. So this month, we explore those edges. We will learn how to meet them, hold them, play with them, push them and move beyond them.  

So, over the next 4 Fridays, we’ll be talking about YOUR EDGES. This topic can get a little prickly because your ego or what I’ve learned to refer to as you d*ck brain is masterful at explaining and justifying why it wants you to stay right where you are, safely inside your comfort zone. 

So, let’s dive in.

Questions to help you meet your edges:

Think about where you crave or are being pushed to the borders of your comfort zone, of what you know and are being called to step into something new, an expanded version of self: 

Spend some time exploring these questions and getting acquainted with your edge. 

The key is to do this from a place of curiosity and not judgment.

I'm looking forward to the journey we will be going on together this month. If this is something you want to go deeper on, I invite you to join us inside The Heart Portal Digital Studio.

Breathwork has been one of the most powerful tools in my toolkit for meeting, and pushing past the edges that I’ve met on my journey.

Hey friends, welcome back to the podcast!

You may be sensing the theme of the last few episodes have centred around building and strengthening our ability to trust ourselves.

Inside The Heart Portal digital studio each month follows an energetic theme and Self-Trust has been the theme for the last 4 weeks. The idea is each week we are deep into the energy of self-trust. With the intention of opening ourselves up to a deeper sense of or relationship to trusting ourselves. 

And, I’ve been experimenting with sharing that on my podcast here with you and on Instagram (@the_heart_portal). Selfishly, I created THe Heart Portal because I couldn’t find anything else out there quite like the level of support and detail I was looking for and the energetic themes were themes that were presenting themselves in my life, what I was working through most and it was just such a natural fit for the layout of The digital studio. 

So, what we’ve talked about so far is our RELATIONSHIP with self-trust, how it is an actually 2x way relationship and one of the most important relationships of our lives. In episode 19 I spoke about how self-trust has 2 key components: 

Then we moved into the idea of moving from head to heart living. Because I believe a heart-led life is one that is rooted in trust and is the journey of our lifetime. 

Today I want to layer in 2 things before we close out the month of Self-Trust They are: 

FIRST - Is your relationship with trusting yourself conditional, and how can we start shifting it to unconditional experience?

Welcome back to this week's episode of The Heart Portal podcast! We begin today's practice with a sliver of a meditation (please skip the first 2 minutes if you are driving, for the love of god!). And we do so for 2 reasons:

1. It introduces you to the topic of today’s episode which is moving from head to heart living. 

2. To equip you with a short practice that you can come back to when life moves into the ‘too much’ zone and we find ourselves really ‘heady’ . What is heady  – completely taken over by the shit storm of overthinking, overanalyzing, overworking. It happens when we flip flop in indecision, we get overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of life, when we wobble on what we stand for or believe in, when we are torn between what we ‘should’ do and what we’re actually being called to do and all the other times you mentally spiral from not honoring ourselves and our true desires. As much as I love living in the spiritual realm, I’m a realist and I believe deeply that our journey to purpose and our highest expression is just that – a journey. One where we constantly lose our way. Practices like this are like little trails back to the path of our journey. And, they help in the real-time moments. As a meditation and breathwork facilitator I will be the first one to tell you that I don’t practice with long-form sessions every day. But I do my best, everyday, to create space and stillness for my heart to speak. That is exactly what this practice is. I will add the snippet of the practice to my instagram profile (@the_heart_portal) so you can save it and come back to it when you need it.

So let’s chat a little more about the topic of the day which is moving from head to heart living. For me, that marks the journey to my highest self because I truly believe that being heart led in life is LIVING. (capital L I V I N).

Friends. It has been a hot minute. 

Truthfully - it’s been a year..in more ways than one. It’s been a year since I recorded my last episode and it’s been a year of complete transition for me personally.

In this episode I give you an update on where I've been and what I've been through over the last year. I share with you why I chose to break up with SOULBODY and transition my business to The Heart Portal and I chat with you about WHY it's called The Heart Portal.

Then, we get to the good stuff.

As some of you know I operate a digital studio called The Heart Portal Studio (creative, right?!). It’s truly a transformative space rooted in breathwork. It’s where participants (and myself because I walk alongside them) come to explore self – discover, awareness, connection, healing, expansion and transformation. It’s truly something. 

Anyhow, each month we move through an ‘ENERGETIC THEME’ and this month’s theme is all about leaning into and building the relationship to SELF TRUST. 

It doesn’t go unnoticed that I’ve been teaching what I need to know most in this space because in this era of my life (my version of an era’s tour) I’m being called to lean into trust more deeply than I ever have. It’s VERY uncomfortable and it’s the only way forward. 

And, like anything we talk about in this space, the journey begins within. 

The way I see it is the relationship we have with ourselves (capital S self) is THE most important relationship of our entire lives yet it is often the one we nourish and tend to the least. Funny that. And if you look deeper at the relationship it’s pretty one way - we rely on it to provide for us in the big, challenging moments of life without giving much to it in the small, everyday moments. 

So if this podcast is anything, let it be an invitation to begin shifting that relationship or, at very least how we see that relationship.

Welcome back loves! In this episode of the podcast, I give you a little update on where I've been over the last few weeks and give you a glimpse inside of the ENERGETIC THEME for June that I channel for The Heart Portal, a digital transformation studio rooted in breathwork that I offer monthly. June excites me, it's the midway point of the year and brings us to the doorstep of Summer Solstice...hello, fire season! It's time for this LEO to SHINE! I'm feeling like we are being called to move and to take action and I'm Here. For. It. 

I talk about what it means to Calibrate and how, with ever action we take, reaction we have, emotion we feel, thought we give energy to we are calibrating ourselves to a version of self. I believe that if you are on any sort of journey of self discovery or expansion, you are on a journey of becoming (and equally unbecoming...which I talk about). 

The episode is centred around a HEART OPENER or question that is aimed to bring you into the powerful portal that is your heart, the core of your truth, who you are and who you are here to BE when you fully express that truth. That question is: WHAT ARE YOU CALIBRATING TO?  And this may open up in a number of ways. The aim is to calibrate to our becoming but often times, when we are on autopilot and if we don't give ourselves breathing room we may find we are calibrating to something else (or nothing at all?!). 

I also talk about the beautiful opportunity that opens up if you don't 'think' you have clarity on who you are becoming!!
