Live Your Light

This Week on the Live Your Light Show:

This week's guest on the Live Your Light Show, we welcome poet, Nikki Van Ekeren. I asked Nikki to be a guest on the Live Your Light Show because her style of poetry is centered on the art of self-empowerment. She believes that creating the life you want involves cultivating an inner passion to grow while developing the awareness to see challenges as opportunities. Her poetry speaks to anyone wondering how o become their best self during every stage of life and she works to give her readers clarity o how to become a full-time collaborator in the art of creating your personal masterpiece. Her third book just released titled, "These Poems Are About Sunny Days" which can offer light while we move through this COVID-19 pandemic. I hope you enjoy, please let me know if you do!

In This Soulful Conversation We Cover:

• How it can be so scary to share your joy in a room of people who are upset but to still hold true to your personal values and never dim your light.
• The two sides of the coin of working through the COVID quarantine
• Learning what muscle do you need to start working to express your craft- what is in your heart that wants to be exposed during this time. There are so many mediums to express joy.
• Why it's the perfect time to step up and share your unique gifts.
• How to implement boundaries during this time.
• If you're empathic, you might be extra sensitive right now, use that to your advantage (sensitivity is our superpower!)
• Bravery is being YOU can be a form of boundary & the best choice right now
• Words of Empowerment can be a reminder for you to show up fully as YOURSELF
• How mirroring people's energy can be damaging
• A new way to look at COVID-19 Energy is always flowing and it is not contagious
• Focus on your light, and ask yourself, "how can I provide value in the way that I do it best"
• Nikki talks about her new book out March, 27 called, "These Poems Are About Sunny Days" and her writing process & how there are beautiful metaphors surrounding us in nature if we are open enough to see them!
• How she emerged and started taking steps towards living her light as a poet
• By honoring who you are, you offer permission for others to do the exact same
• How the EGO came in and would say, 'OH but how much money will you make' when she first started
• What it was like to have conscious conversations with her husband expressing that it was her passion to do something new with her life, which meant saying goodbye to the traditional path and saying hello to being a writer
• If Nikki has to leave the world with one message it would be- "I want you to have the courage to share your joy whatever medium that is, just share it no matter what it is"
• Keep an eye out for her children's poetry book coming out in the fall (about being brave, sharing your unique gifts and being a leader"

Quotable: "Know that sharing your light is more nourishing than any paycheck can be."- Nikki

This week's guest on the Live Your Light Show, we have a soulful conversation with Marci Moberg. Marci Moberg is an intuitive coach and healer with a passion for reconnecting sensitive souls to their forgotten intuitive nature. Marci's work includes coaching individuals and groups to develop their intuition, understand their sensitivity, own their power, and navigate life transitions and relationships with authenticity. Her popular online course Intuition 101, is a life-changing course on practical intuition development and she is the podcast host of Tune In with Marci. Marci has been featured on MindBodyGreen, The Huffington Post, Reader's Digest, Bustle, ThriveGlobal.com, LifeHack.org, television, and many podcasts. You can follow her inspiring tips and writings on her website, www.marcimoberg.com

In this Soulful Conversation We Cover:

1. Why our sensitivity is our superpower.
2. Being grounded while being spiritual is important!
3. How connecting to our intuition can support our healing.
4. Steps to strengthen your connection to your intuition
5. Marci's experience reconciling the logic/ practical part of life & the spiritual by allowing her intuition to eventually grow despite the her resistance.
6. Marci Believe it's essential for sensitives (highly sensitive people and empaths) to incorporate shadow work into their personal growth and healing.
7. Boundaries are key in every aspect in life.
8. If you're having challenges rise a lot, important questions to ask yourself: What parts of your past are unresolved and how are you being triggered?
9. Try not to put too much pressure on your intuition because you might be missing a lot of subtleties - a few steps to take to strengthen the intuitive muscle include:

1. Get into your body (sounds more simple than it actually is because we are living in a culture where we are typically in our head)

First, start by focusing on your heart center

-what sensations do you feel?

- Start with the physical contact that emerges for you any physical sensations and any emotions come up

Second, start to have a conversation with your heart

'Dear heart, what will you have me know today?'

-even silence is okay as you start to lube up the connections with your intuitive

Third, practice regular devotion to show up to deepen the connection

Fourth, start documenting what comes up but don't get impatient & keep your eyes open by looking for evidence.

• When you are building a relationship with your soul / your personal intuition takes time. It is really about courting your intuition so don't demand that it tells you anything- just look to connect to it and it will build from there.
• Sometimes the messages come in sentences and different times.
• 'It takes courage to be you' - Meaning it takes courage to remember your personal truth and peel back the many layers of social conditioning

Quotes: "Everyone is intuitive. Everyone experiences intuition in different ways. It's a matter of taking the time to slowly decode your own experience so that you can find uniquely how intuition speaks to you. That is your birthright."- Marci Moberg

In this SOLO Episode we talk about:

How do you want to feel? In this episode, Emily talks about how to anchor into your core feelings and use them as your internal navigation system to guide and direct you through life. Emily uses the feeling of enthusiasm to guide her through life.

Here's some of what Emily shares in this episode:

• How you can use enthusiasm (what lights you up) as a guide to help you prioritize your to-do list.
• When you're anchored in a core feeling it requires you to present and aware of how you're feeling and when you're anchoring in Enthusiasm it tricks you to feel safe and you become more focused on new situations and how they make you feel rather than how they appear on the surface.

1. How do you want to feel?
2. What is one thing you can do today to activate that feeling?

Answer in your mind when Emily says these to you:

How do you want to feel in the following:

• When you locate your schedule for the week
• When you open your computer as you start your day
• When you close your computer each day
• When you cash your checks for what you do
• When you finish your masterpiece
• When you fall in love.
• When you're with your friends.
• When you're with your family
• When you are positively impacting someone's life?

• Stop waiting to feel good once you achieve the goal and INSTEAD, start by getting clear on how you want to feel and start taking action by doing things that align with that feeling.

Let's all shine brighter together!!

In this SOLO Episode we talk about:

• How Emily made the Impossible Possible by creating Sundari Swim, a different kind of swimwear brand, Swimwear for the Soul.
• How to create that brighter future & vision for you:
• • Imagine you are attending a talk as part of a large audience, everyone in the audience, including you, is deeply touched and inspired by what the speaker is saying. that speaker is your future self- ten or 20 years from now:

• Think about the following:

1. What is the speaker saying that is so captivating/ interesting/ mesmerizing?

2. What about the speaker makes you look up to him/ her?

3. Why do you feel the way you do?

How to start putting the wheels in motion:

• TALK ABOUT your vision A LOT and as if it has already happened.
• Start speaking the vision to LIFE.
• Our mind creates all the outcomes we experience in life
• This is key: "as soon as you believe something isn't possible, it isn't possible but the opposite is also true' If we begin to consciously start managing our minds, we have the ability to create more desired outcomes in our life.
• Making a decision to become something isn't just one decision it is in fact 1,000's of decisions to continue to become it until you achieve it. - Using the example of Airbnb founders
• There's a big difference in what you WANT to believe and what you actually believe- because it's easy to believe something that' s already happened.
• It's much more difficult to believe something that hasn't happened yet, therefore, this is when Mind Management is crucial to adjusting your mindset (Emily touches briefly on her Mind Management Method— Stay tuned for a future episode with details on the Method & how to apply it to your life)
• The more you talk to people about your vision, the more likely you can find people to help you. -Especially if your vision is altruistic in nature.
• Emily Introduces Sundari swim - the brand concept and how it's so different with crystals and Yantra Yoga Life Path Numbers— for more information or to find out your own life-path number visit www.sundariswim.com
• Emily's extremely passionate about this work which is why she has decided to select 2 people to have a free 1:1 session to set the wheels in motion for your personal vision. if you would like to be considered, send her a direct message on Instagram @itsemilythomas and reference this episode & share your vision!

This week's guest on the Live Your Light Show, Emily has a soulful conversation with her good friend and mentor, Michael King. Michael King believes that the great work of our life is the process of creating and re-creating both ourselves and the life we get to live. He is a qualified chef, a health coach, a yoga instructor, meditation teacher (he and his wife, Hannah are the founders of Kings Meditation and Mentoring and have their own meditation training called 'Fire and Water' where they turn passionate meditators into impactful teachers. Michael was instrumental in Emily's personal transformation and personally mentored her in hypnotherapy, NLP and being a life coach.

Part one of our Conversation We Cover:

• What happens when you get quiet & become familiar with your thoughts and you start to ask questions about fundamental elements about existence and 'self'
• How he 'unpacked' what he's been through by going on a walkabout and being in nature.
• Your authentic self wants to be expressed in the world so badly!
• All the ancient cultures of the world understood that within the one human life we have a few births.— The first birth is obvious, and the second is happening throughout our lives by taking off the metaphorical training wheels & being born into the awareness of your true self.
• Emersion into nature completely changed the way he looked at the world. 'A walkabout is just an expression of inner movement. The world is just a mirror of deeper inner transformation.' A walkabout let him let go of everything he THOUGHT he was and decided to connect with the earth and subsequently change his life by being led by his heart instead of ego.
• How to integrate the deep sense of connectedness and the reverence of life into normal everyday life.
  • How to bring the light into every part of your life through conscious integration.
• Why it's important NOT to resit our past but instead flow with it by choosing the pieces of our past that lend itself to where we are going.
• The two sides of the coin in meditation:
  • 1. How do I relieve suffering? - What's in the way of our personal authenticity? What are we resisting and how can we deconstruct that.
    • The uncovering of conflict based off beliefs we've adopted throughout life and navigating through by deciding what we want to continue to believe.
  • 2. How do I grow the good in my life by working on the things I actually want?
    • How do I want my life to look and how can I build up my mind so that my mind is a mirror of my heart?
• The Beach Worm metaphor: Beach worms live right below the surface on the beach and come up when you least expect it which is symbolic of circumstances in life will cause our beliefs and emotions that normally reside under the surface when they are triggered when something happens in life.
  • TIP for YOU to decrease the number of beach worms in your life:
    • Keep a log of all the beach worms that comes up throughout the day and then it's right in the open and from that place you can relieve yourself of any resistances and start thinking more thoughts that are in alignment with where you want to go instead of hindering your growth.

Quotes: 'A walkabout is just an outer expression of inner movement. The world becomes a mirror of deeper inner transformation"
