In Flow with Natalie

It’s that time of year again when everyone will soon be bombarded with all of the advertisements and stories about how to become healthier and happier in 2025.   We are all too familiar with setting new intentions for year ahead - when we often take the opportunity to reset, with plans to make changes to improve our lives, only to find that sometimes these well-meaning plans are abandoned within a few short weeks.

In this episode, I invite you to consider a different approach. We often look outside ourselves for the answers to resolve many of the challenges we face in our lives. But in this episode, I explain why looking to the outside is not always helpful and it can sometimes set us on a path for failure.

 I also share how spending a little time getting to know how you really feel, is the path to living your truth and sticking to the plans that align with your true values and your heart.  Later in the episode, I provide some concrete examples of how our thoughts can play tricks on us and can often be the culprit to destroying some of those well-intended goals that we set for ourselves.  Sometimes our thoughts are not our friend.  

I hope you enjoy this episode. I truly believe if you allow yourself the time to learn more about YOU, and how you really feel, you may find yourself on an entirely new and fulfilling path for the year ahead.

Happy New Year.  My wish for you is to live in positively, health, and harmony.
Natalie

The Holiday Season is upon us, and although for many it is a joyful time, bringing with it thoughts of love, and time with our friends and families, it can also be a time of stress, worries, or frustration.  This meditation offers a little breather for you, to take a few moments to reset, and remind yourself that the thoughts you carry can create feelings and emotions that can affect your energy.  And often, the energy that others around you bring to your space can also affect how you feel, how you react, and it can impact your own energies.  Using breathwork, and this time alone with yourself, to help you feel your own essence and presence, can help you become more aware of how these other energies, and how your own thoughts, can affect your emotions.  Give yourself the gift of time, to take this 20 minutes for a little breather from the busy-ness, to remind you of the importance of breathing, and of protecting your own energy.  
My wish for you is to have a peaceful and calm holiday season.

Have you ever felt that you frequently annoy someone else, someone in your life that you care about, even though you know they may care about you as well? and you feel that sometimes, just being the way you are somehow annoys them... your little quirky ways, or your way of moving, talking, your energy, or your caring?  Sometimes, when you are told you are annoying, or someone does or says something to suggest that your behaviour is irritating them, you can be left feeling hurt, or even a little upset with them. But it can also affect how you feel about yourself.  You wonder if they are right.  Are you annoying? 

 Join me, as I share my views on why being YOU is a beautiful thing, and why YOU should not change those things that make you YOU.  I also share why you should not blame someone else for being THEM.  Hopefully, this episode may help those who find themselves hurt in relationships, learn that it is ok for you to you be you (in fact, it is wonderful), and it is OK for them to be them.

If you are feeling uncertain in life, not sure of the path to take, or perhaps feeling a little lost, or as if things just aren't working out for you as you intended, please know that all will be ok -  we are all on our own unique journey in life.  Sometimes the dark moments are there to teach you something, almost like guideposts - showing you that through these times, you can still see the light beyond. And in experiencing those moments (whether difficult times, or delays, uncertainty, or otherwise), you gain not only experience, but also the wisdom to learn from them. These times will guide you further along the path toward the light, the light which brings the acceptance, fulfillment, happiness, or love, that you may be seeking.  Trust in the unfolding of your life, as it is meant to be.... for you.   

My wish for you is to live in positivity, health and harmony.

In this episode I share thoughts on how our lives are all uniquely ours. Our path in life may not always work out as we expect or hope. But in realizing that each of our journeys is unique to us, and that maybe we have certain lessons we are meant to learn, we may find a way to accept the path our life is taking.  This way of looking at life, also helps us maybe to realize that when we are in a relationship, sometimes this person we care about isn't behaving in sync with our thoughts or desires - they are on their own timeline in life, and their timing is just not in sync with ours. Sometimes, when someone we care about does something to hurt us, or refuses to change patterns of behaviour that we have asked them to change, if we can realize their behaviour is not about us, but its about them  - their unique path in life - then maybe we can release those emotions we usually have when them they behave this way. Or, maybe we can  manage those reactions we might have had in the past and instead,  find strength in knowing that WE have the ability to change our decisions or our actions, in response to that.

As the summer ends, we often find our thoughts  consumed by all that we must do,  what is to come, with little thought about the present moment.  But saying goodbye to one season and entering another gives us that perfect opportunity to take a pause, a pause between the seasons – a little time to take a breather from our busy lives and the thoughts of the past and the future.  

So join me in a brief meditation to take time to pause, breathe and savour the present moment as we embark into the autumn season.

In this episode I talk about insecurities-Those little personal “flaws” that we are often led to believe we have, learned from something perhaps we were told as a child, or observing the patterns and behaviors of others in society. Things that we don't like about ourselves, and that we carry with us, seemingly without any issue. But insecurities, even about what we may admittedly think are  minor things, can affect our behaviors, our well-being and our relationships. 

In this episode I touch on how sometimes insecurities can not only prevent us from participating in certain events in life and trying new things, but they can also drive us to behaviors intended to correct or perfect what we believe to be perceived flaw about ourselves. Sometimes these behaviors that we are driven to engage in outwardly look like signs of success, whether they be hard work, focus on fitness and improving our physical condition, or seeking perfection in our lives in one way or another. Yet, even though you may be feeling like overcoming those little insecurities has made you successful, this may be masking a deeper feeling that you still have not resolved within yourself, and you may find yourself on a pattern of constantly seeking perfection to fill a void that you just simply haven't resolved.

In this episode, I talk about how insecurities are created by the external world, by that assumption that “sameness” is what we should all be striving for. However true contentment and peace comes from embracing our unique differences and understanding that when we live our truth, we not only embrace our own differences, but we can embrace those of others, thereby allowing us to live in a world with less judgment and more love.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on how damaging secrets can be, with a focus on those personal secrets we keep, hidden out of  shame, embarrassment, fear of judgement.  Secrets come from fear, and in hiding them, you may be suppressing or denying the event that happened.  But your secrets are not you - YOU are not your secrets.  It may have happened, or you may have done something you may now regret, and whether big or small, it is not you.  

I share my thoughts on how life's journey may have some similar experiences, but our trajectories are different, and our lives do not need to take the shape or image of anyone else's. Indeed, they shouldn't.  The events that happen to us, or that we may cause, are part of our life journey, part of the lessons we need to learn to bring us the wisdom to grow and find ourselves, our truth.  The duality of happiness and pain, is necessary for growth.    

In learning to become AWARE of what you are hiding, and seeing it as an observer, but not as part of you (because what happens to you is NOT you!), you can gain a better perspective about it, and find yourself on the path to releasing the strains it has placed on you.

This meditation is for YOU, to give you a few minutes to take a breather, get away from any thoughts of the past and future, to give yourself a little self-love,  and to embrace yourself with gratitude for all that you are.  We can all benefit from taking a few minutes each day just for us, and taking some quiet time to be in your own presence - with no distractions. 

 When you are open to giving yourself some love, positivity and space away from the busy-ness, you will begin to learn how to pay attention to how you feel (physically, mentally and emotionally), and become more in tune with YOU.  Taking a few minutes just for you, in a loving and positive way,  is an important first step in paying attention to yourself and your needs.

(You may also be interested to check out Episode #18: "Getting to know YOU: The Important Practice of Giving Yourself Space for Finding and Living Your Truth", where I talk about how we can become more in tune with ourselves, leading us to discovering our personal truth and gaining the wisdom and courage to make decisions that serve us well and lead us to a place of contentment.
