New meditation available on Insight Timer - Breast Health: Embodying The Divine Feminine. This empowering guided meditation delves into the healing and liberation that comes from connecting with the divine feminine energy through our bodies. It aims to release toxic societal ideas associated with breasts, freeing us from objectification, trauma, pain, and societal expectations. By embracing and celebrating our female bodies and the divine feminine power, we set intentions and affirm our connection to our unique gifts and the importance of invoking the Divine Feminine for harmony and balance in the world.

The divine feminine is an archetype that embodies the very essence of femininity in its most elevated form. This powerful force has been revered and celebrated across cultures for millennia.

The divine feminine is not limited to a specific gender. It is a force that resides within all of us, regardless of our gender or identity. By opening ourselves up to this reality, we can tap into a wellspring of power and beauty that has the potential to change our lives and the world around us.

Mother Earth is a true embodiment of the divine feminine. She is at once fierce and nurturing, unleashing hurricanes and tornadoes while also providing us with the sustenance we need to survive. She teaches us the importance of honoring the cycles of life and nature, reminding us of our interconnectedness and the need to care for ourselves and others.

In ancient Egypt, Goddess Isis exemplified the divine feminine through her healing powers and fierce love. She resurrected her husband, Osiris, showing us the transformative power of love and compassion. The Oracle of Delphi was a priestess who embodied the divine feminine quality of intuition and the ability to receive messages from the divine realm. Her insights were considered sacred and powerful, sought after by both individuals and leaders.

Grief is a tricky bit*h, she comes from anywhere anytime. Grief needs to be personified, maybe even deified, she’s so darn powerful. You can’t outrun her (grief), but I do have two suggestions to move from grief to peace. Connection is the key to both methods. You can read more here…

The Heart is to energy work what the brain is to academic work. In school, we fundamentally rely on our brains to memorize, comprehend, solve, and create. In energy work, we use the heart to remember, comprehend, clear, and shift. More and more our global population is shifting into a more heart-centered awareness and action. As humans, we fundamentally feel better when we connect with others at the heart level. We feel a sense of caring, community, and support. The feeling of a full heart is divine, IFYKYK.  

The heart gives us life and personality and literally pumps that essence through our entire bodies. Recently while doing a reading, guidance came through for a woman that delighted me so much I want to share it here and encourage it as a popular practice. The guidance was this: as you settle in for sleep tonight and each night think of 3 things that bring you joy, one at a time. For example, sunshine on your shoulders. Now feel that glorious feeling and bring that joy to your heart and imagine it continuously circulating through your entire body, just as the heart circulates blood and oxygen.  Sit with this joyful essence and without judgment notice what you notice. 

In Yoga Teacher Training I learned three ways to begin a meditation practice: candle-gazing, mantra, and pranayama (breathing). My personal experience with candle gazing was beautiful but not meditative. Meditation instantly regulates the nervous system, but I find that closed eyes are a requirement for my own regulation.

Silent mantra recitation could be very meaningful but doesn’t hold my attention or focus for very long. However, mantra chanting is quite different! Mantra chanting creates a sound vibration that resonates throughout your body and mind. This creates a magnificent feeling physically and spiritually.

Pranayama is the practice of controlling the breath to improve physical and mental well-being. For example, Ujjayi (ocean breath), Nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), and Kapalabhati (skull shining breath) are a few powerful pranayama practices.

My absolute favorite is Ujjayi, a Sanskrit word that means "victorious". In yoga, Ujjayi is a breathing technique that is also known as "ocean breath". This technique involves inhaling and exhaling through the nose while constricting the back of the throat, creating a sound like ocean waves.

Great ideas come while in the shower, am I right? Recently, in the shower, I received the most amazing explanation of the impact of energy clearings.

Do you remember the order of operations from math? This rule explains the sequence in which we should solve an expression with multiple operations, PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, and division then addition and subtraction). Energy clearings = PEMDAS. When energy is stuck, we are solving the problem in a linear fashion from left to right and not getting the correct answer/desired outcome. Energy Clearings help you change your order of operations without you thinking or knowing it in your daily life. The energy that was previously stuck and forcing you to do something in a way that you didn’t want to do any longer – is cleared and now you can come to the correct answer/ desired outcome using the order of operations naturally and automatically.
