Re-Enchant Your Life

Welcome to Episode 141 of the Re-Enchant Your Life podcast.

We're back to give you some inspiration with an intuitive twist.

Today, we move on to the second card in the SHEro Oracle toolkit, and that card is the meadow.

We're still at the beginning of the SHEros journey in the energy of the core, the energy of dreaming hope and optimism.

If you've not joined us before, this is where I ask you to think of a question that you want the answer to. It can be any question you have right now, perhaps you want to know what you're going to have for dinner, or perhaps you want to know what direction to take your career in. The question doesn't matter as long as it's yours.

We'll start by looking at the meaning of the SHEro toolkit cards and then I'll draw a second card for you to explore how that card changes the meaning of the first card. And then, because I love working with the charms, I'm going to draw a charm too. Again, allowing you to build your own story and find the answer to your own question.

Welcome to Episode 140 of the Re-Enchant Your Life podcast.

We're back with regular doses of inspiration, with more of an intuitive twist.

Earlier this year, I released a deck of oracles cards called the SHEro Toolkit Oracle. I created them because I wanted cards that could give me quick clear guidance and that guidance I wanted to be practical and magical.

The cards follow the same format as the Re-Enchant Your Life Podcast always has, there's some guidance for you and then some practical action. I believe that following any kind of spiritual path or a life of conscious creation is more about taking action and experiencing life rather than just navel gazing.

Using the cards and these podcasts, I want to offer you insight to inspire you, to take action so that you can move forward on your chosen path, embracing the joy, navigating the obstacles and trusting yourself deeply.

Just like the cards, I want you to continue to use this podcast as a sacred pause in your day, a space where you can tune into your own inner wisdom to become present, to reconnect you to your personal power and confidently embrace who you're becoming.

Welcome to Episode 2, Season two of the Re-Enchant Your Life podcast.

In this episode we talk about how to identify your gifts.

How a crow gave me directions to find a yew tree.

And how by noticing what annoys you in other people can help you identify your gifts.

Welcome to Episode 1, Season two of the Re-Enchant Your Life podcast.

This season I want us to take a deep dive into trust.

It's something that is the foundation of all of my work. It's what I want people to really know, understand and remember... That they can trust themselves.

We live in a world where for so long we've been taught not to trust ourselves, to give our power away to external sources. Now, of course there's always a time when we need to go to outside sources to seek the guidance, the counsel, the wisdom, the expertise of people who we trust of people who have walked the path and have more, more experience than we do.

But it's about knowing when to go and seek that wisdom as opposed to knowing that we have ultimate responsibility and ultimate trust over ourselves that we get to make those choices.

And one of the things that I often find that I talk about is about how our intuition is about embracing the darkness.

And when I say that, people can often think of darkness as heavy and dense, they think about those places where we don't want to visit because we don't know what's there. But actually it's within the darkness that holds the wisdom....

Today you're being reminded that everything ends, and with every ending comes a new beginning.

It's one of the beautiful things in life.

It's beautiful because it's dependable, we can trust it.

And trust is what I want to talk about today.

One of the key themes of my work, it's the foundation of what I want for every single person, and that's that they can trust themselves.

It sounds so simple doesn't it?

Trust yourself.

It rolls off the tongue and I'm sure you can expect to see it on an inspiring cup or a bumper sticker.

But do you actually, really, truly, trust yourself?

Maybe you have moments of trusting yourself, followed by longer moments of doubt.

We can lose trust in ourselves every time we become more concerned about the opinions and reactions of others over our own.

We can lose trust in ourselves when we feel that everyone, or even some other people are more important than ourselves.

We can lose trust in ourselves when we aren't clear on our own boundaries.

We can lose trust in ourselves when we can no longer feel where we end and other people begin; so pick up other people's judgements and opinions and confuse ourselves as we believe that these opinions of other's are ours, even though they don't feel right to us.

We can lose trust in ourselves every time we disconnect with our inner power and look outside of ourselves for the answers.

The list goes on and on.

I think it's fair to say that there are many structures set up in our world that profit from us not trusting ourselves.

I may not be able to change the structures, but I can hopefully inspire you to trust yourself again.

And so this is where we move into season two of this podcast.

Reconnection.

Changing the format of the podcast is the perfect example of trust. And as a side-note… if you love hearing stories of people seeing dragons, having trees laugh at them and speaking to crows, you'll want to stay tuned…. And when I say people, obviously I mean me!

But first let me explain how I got here…

Today you're being reminded to make clear choices.

Re-energise your dreams and desires.

What are the specific outcomes that you want?

What is it you want to be experiencing?

What feelings and values do you want to be front and centre of your day, your week, your life?

How do you want your relationships to be, both with yourself and those around you?

Dreaming about your desires is wonderful, and now it's time to make choices that move you into alignment with them.

You're here for a purpose; and that purpose is to be the most fully expressed version of yourself, it's time to embrace all of you, and live your life out loud.

Take yourself and your dreams seriously, you have them for a reason.

Believe in yourself and all that you are.

Make aligned choices.

You are enough.

You are perfect just as you are.

No more biding your time, the time will pass anyway, you may as well be moving in the direction of your own choosing.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as make clear choices.

SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is take action on your choices.

Make calls.

Set up appointments.

Plan your schedule.

Support your plans with action.

Be mindful of the words you use and the stories you buy into.

Clear the energetic blocks keeping you stuck.

Ask for help.

Get support.

Take strong determined action.

Even small steps will make a difference.

Use your energy to make your dreams come true.

Pause, and take a breath. As you act on your decisions.

Today's Affirmation:

"I make clear choices"

Today you're being reminded to take up space.

Take up space with your thoughts, your feelings, your dreams, your desires, your concerns, your expectations, your physical body.

Take up space with it all.

Take up space unapologetically.

Say what you mean.

Ask for what you need.

Step into this power and let your confidence rise.

What does allowing yourself to access this inner-power feel like?

Your power has purpose.

It moves you forward.

It brings clarity.

Your power asks you to walk your own path, to be true to, and trust in yourself.

Does your power surge through your body, or is it the quiet resolve to show up and try again?

You've probably experienced both.

Power can be loud, and it can be quiet.

It can be dramatic, and it can be peaceful.

It can shout 'here I am', or it can show up quietly and unannounced.

However you experience it, it always has the energy of presence and embodying the fullness of who you are.

Allow yourself to feel alive as you revel in your own power as you take up space.

Celebrate it.

Sing and dance in it.

Own it.

Live it.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you give yourself permission to take up space.

SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to feel your power as you take up space.

Stand up tall, and open your arms out wide, as you lift them to the sky.

Stand in this SHEro Power Pose for 1 to 2 minutes, or as long as is comfortable.

This is known as a 'power pose', in that it actually changes the way you feel.

Standing tall, with your arms wide apart, makes you feel more confident.

This confidence lasts long after you have done the power pose and people will perceive you differently.

Check out the Ted Talk by Amy Cuddy to learn more about this brilliant and powerful pose.

Pause, and take a breath. As you feel your confidence in your power grow.

Today's Affirmation:

"It is safe for me to be a powerful woman and take up space"

Today you're being reminded that now is the time to follow the Call of your soul.

Every journey starts with The Call, the intuitive nudge to start something different, to choose a different direction, to break free from routine.

Maybe you are raring to go, or perhaps you don't feel ready.

You've received The Call, so know that no matter how you feel, it's time to go.

Your time is now.

The Call doesn't go away. It can get louder and louder, until it does something drastic to make you pay attention.

So, prevent the unnecessary drama, muster your courage and move forward in the direction of the Call of your soul.

If you've been waiting for a sign, this is most definitely it!

You don't need to know how it will all unfold.

Remain curious and open to possibilities, listen to your intuition and the messages and synchronicities that surround you.

Once you commit, magic happens and new opportunities will come your way, often in unexpected ways.

Commit and move forward.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you connect with what you need to do.

SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to be honest with yourself.

What is Calling you?

What is that little whisper that keeps calling you, nudging you, encouraging you to move in a particular direction.

The thing that feels so perfectly aligned, yet you still resist taking action, maybe because it feels too big, you doubt yourself, or you're concerned with how others may respond.

Give yourself the time and space to really connect with this Call from your soul, and then take the action you need to take.

Even the smallest of steps will create a ripple effect and increase your confidence.

What are the first steps that you're committing to?

Pause, and take a breath. As you allow yourself to receive the message.

Today's Affirmation:

"I commit to The Call of my soul"

Today you're being reminded to start again.

No matter where you find yourself, know that you can start again.

Often people feel like they have to stay on a particular path because they committed to it or have been on it for years.

But it's completely okay to wipe the slate the clean and start again.

It's easy to become comfortable in the familiar.

But when was the last time that you actually stopped to ask yourself if your current path, actions, or even beliefs were still true for you?

Do they still light you up and deeply resonate with you?

Or have you outgrown them and are ready to move on?

Fresh starts and new beginnings are filled with hope and possibility, they also ask you to embrace the unknown.

It takes courage to start again, it's not always the easy choice, but it's often the right choice.

No experience is ever wasted.

We learn, grow and expand our knowledge.

We succeed or we gain new information.

All experiences add to your rich tapestry of life and give you more wisdom to draw upon, or at the very least a story to share.

Trust your heart and recognise the wisdom in starting again.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you contemplate starting again.

SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to review the way you currently spend your time.

What do you prioritise? To find the answer to this, look to see what's actually scheduled in your calendar, and look to see what you spend money on.

Are these still activities that are aligned for you, or is it time to let them go and make a fresh start?

Pause, and take a breath. As you allow yourself to honestly look at your priorities.

Today you're being reminded to connect with your sacred power

Your sacred power resides in the wisdom of your energetic Womb energy – this isn't about having a physical womb, as I'm referring to the energetic Womb space, your creative cauldron, the sacral chakra or hara.

I believe that this energetic space is the seat of a woman's power.

The seat of your ability to create things, experiences, and life.

Yet instead of connecting with it to make aligned choices from a place of passion and grounded power, women can often use it as a convenient storage space.

A place to store unresolved emotions, especially grief.

Collective grief, ancestral grief and of course their own grief.

The Womb space is not a storage place.

It's a place of deep wisdom.

A place where you conceive, incubate and birth new ideas.

A place of your deepest knowing and deepest connection.

It's the home of your sacred power and it's time to allow yourself to really feel into this power within you.

It's time that you can once again make choices from a place of passion and power, instead of overwhelm, confusion and fear.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you feel into your energetic womb space.

Today's SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to feel into your energetic womb space, your creative cauldron.

Imagine sweeping around the edge of your pelvic bowl with a beautiful white, violet or golden light.

Notice how it feels.

Is there anything that doesn't belong there?

If so, ask it what it needs from you, and then allow it to be dissolved and transmuted into its highest expression with the light.

Do this for as long as feels good to you.

Pause, and take a breath. As you release what's no longer yours to carry.

Today's Affirmation:

"I trust the wisdom of my inner creative cauldron"
