Life is full of polarities. I'm convinced that's all there is! As well as what emerges when two opposing forces merge and co-create. In the Expressive Art Therapy realm, we call this "the Third". Some know it as the Transcendent, or simply the emergent. The sign Gemini in fact symbolizes this creative process, as it expresses "the Third" quite literally. Not only is Gemini a number three, but in the Vedic tradition, the symbol is two lovers who co-create, bringing forth a third energy. I have been particularly interested in polarities myself because my personal jyotish chart is full of them! This began to fascinate me (or challenge me rather) many years ago when I began studying my chart. I knew there were extremes presented, and I experienced them within me, yet I didn't know how to reconcile this. Starting with a Scorpio ascendant- which truly symbolizes the transformational energy of polarities combining. I also have a powerful combination of fire and water in my chart. And we all know what happens when fire and water meet! This theme of fire and water began to emerge over and over again in my paintings and movement practice. The polarities wouldn't leave me alone! I have danced with the question of integration for years, and recently I had a break through! If you're interested in your inner harmony, read on! And join me for my new, revolutionary weekly Jyotish Astrology Group Coaching Classes just for women. Jyotish speaks to the mystery of polarities very intimately. Each sign in fact shares some level of this dance between polarities. Other parts of jyotish express polarities in different ways- whether it is through the masculine and feminine, the elements, the deities, Natural Laws, cycles, rhythms, life and death, Sun and Moon, inner realms and outer realms, etc. Because Vedic Astrology is a science based on the cosmos, it is deeply connected to cycles, rhythms and movement. When we track the cosmos, we are tracking our own inner cosmic nature. Thus, Jyotish can tell us a lot about our own dance with polarities. Even the lunar nodes, or shadow points, in your chart are polar opposites of each other, and always look directly at each other seven houses away. Not surprisingly they can tell you a lot about your inner dance with polarities and what inner conflicts you are here to harmonize and integrate in this life time. I'm convinced that this is in fact the secret to inner peace, unity, enlightenment. The non-dual, the non conflict within. What is yoga? Union! How is this achieved? Through harmonizing polarities within the body- the masculine and feminine energies, essentially. When we boil polarities down to their essence, it will always connect you back to the masculine and feminine. This is the most vital ingredient for your inner harmony. But how do you integrate these extremes? There are many methods for uniting the polarities within and the Vedic tradition is arguably the most ancient resource for this process. As with all branches of the Ved, they support the process of union, or enlightenment. My favorite resource is Vedic Astrology because it is truly a road map for one's life quest- inner and outer. Jyotish is a light source for identifying the blockages within you- Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually. These blockages are keeping you from fully integrating your polarities. The wisdom of jyotish is an immense and powerful resource for healing and transformation. Here's what to look for in your jyotish chart: For starters, identify your rising sign, Sun and Moon signs. Notice their symbol. What does their symbol say about who you are and what you need in this life? Your rising sign will tell you how you see the world. It is the main influence of your chart because it organizes all other factors. For example, a polarity can exist if you have a water sign with your Sun sitting in it. This would be a very exact conflict between masculine and feminine energies. Individual planets may express themselves through conflict as well. Let's say your natal Moon is in a nakshatra ruled by the Sun. Or if the soft, gentle and friendly Moon is in a harsh or fierce nakshatra, this will naturally stir conflict within- especially within the emotional body. Any planet in opposition with another planet will also cause a "war" or constant battle within. Mars and Saturn for example, if conjunct, will battle over action and non action. The jyotish chart can show you quite directly where the polarities are within you. More importantly, where the conflicts are. These conflicts within are occurring on different levels of your being- Physically, Mentally, Emotionally or Spiritually. Think about when you are in an argument with someone. What happens to you- on the four levels of your being? You may feel tense, contracted, heated, stressed or all of the above. Think about your mental body being in this state constantly on some inner level of your being? Your emotional body? Physical or Spiritual bodies? Your jyotish chart can tell you where these conflicts are rooted in your being. This identification can be used as a resource to unravel the inner conflict, to harmonize or integrate the extremes within you. When any part of your body is in conflict with another part, there will be a an inability to be fully nourished, or unified. I encourage and advocate a well rounded healing process so that there is full support and awakening for the entire being- not just one part of it. I've written extensively recently about the signs of inner conflict. In fact, challenges and obstacles in life are nothing more than mirrors being held up to show you where you are not fully harmonized or integrated. Other signs are self sabotage, chaos, stress, overwhelm, etc. Challenges don't just happen! These are parts of your being asking for your attention. When the challenge manifests on the conscious or visible level, you know this is an inner conflict asking for your attention. Read my article and use my Tapping Meditation Podcast to identify inner challenges. Since the ultimate polarity always comes back to masculine and feminine, I think it's important to understand this dynamic very intimately. Working with these Laws of Nature are vital for working with these parts of yourself and others, so that you are not always pushing against the natural tendencies they offer. First, it must be noted that both masculine and feminine have their own polarities as well. There are shadow sides to both the masculine and feminine, which can often misconstrue the way we see them. Ready to take your inner growth to the next level and deepen your relationship with your inner feminine wisdom? Integrate polarities, strengthen Creative Intelligence, clarify your strength and purpose! Join me for my Jyotish Astrology Coaching + Classes for Transformation and Healing.

Opening to Potential Tapping Meditation Use this Tapping Meditation to increase integration between masculine and feminine energies- when you feel stuck, afraid or resistant to change. Remember that we always start with "truth tapping" by expressing feelings and experiences that feel challenging. This is a vital part of the process and paves the way for transformation and healing.
In the podcast below, I share a tapping (EFT) sequence with you that will guide you through transforming and releasing the old stories and invite in more receptivity. Remember, we start with identifying the challenges, then moving into possibility and desires in order to transform our shadow into light. Use this podcast as you tap through these points: Karate chop point (side of the hand). Crown of the head. Eyebrow point (above the eye). Side of the eye. Under the eye. Under the nose. Chin point (crease of the chin). Throat point (collar bone/throat chakra). Heart point (center of chest). Stomach point (above the navel). Side body (nipple line at side of chest). Tap six to ten times on each point and just keep cycling through the points. Repeat the phrases I use aloud. Notice any thoughts, stories, memories or emotions that emerge as you tap. These are important pieces to return to, do more tapping on, as a way to clear blockages. As always, if the words I use don't work for you, change them to support your process more fully. Share your experiences below! What emerged for you in this process? Excited to hear from you!

Awaken Your True Self I've shared over the past few weeks, the many challenges of the Eclipse Portal. How it intensified challenges and obstacles, the shadow, in order for deeper healing to take place within. Though the Eclipse Portal has closed, working with the shadow continues. I, like many, used the eclipse portal to meet my challenges head on. Deep, oozy grief emerged within me. Rather than pushing it away and forcing myself to "keep it together", I allowed myself to get messy. If my grief has taught me anything, it's that I need to allow the mess within me to have a voice, to speak. Through daily tapping, creative rituals, movement, rest, staying in my pajamas and laying in bed for days on end, I eventually emerged on the other side of this mess, with a new understanding of my shadow, and a deep, powerful release as well. Attending to my shadow very consciously, allowed me to clear, move and release my shadow. I was able to transform it and in the process, create space for something more powerful to flow through me- my creativity! As I let go of the layers of suppressed anger and sadness, I began to grieve a very old part of myself. Much to my surprise, this was my inner teenager! Her wild ways and strong ferocity had not been honored in many years. In fact, I had to dismiss her, negate her wisdom and intelligence for survival many years ago. I took vows to keep her locked away and hidden. Suppressing her wild, creative wisdom has cost me dearly. Her Durga-like energy is in fact my True Self, so not being fully aligned with her is a loss I can't afford. As I used my resources to transform the anger and sadness, suddenly more space was created within me. Space that allowed my creative energy to flow more dynamically. This space was created by integrating inner conflict, finding harmony between my polarities and honoring the wisdom of my wild feminine wisdom. With my inner Durga awakening, her untamed wisdom no longer in my shadow, a new burst of energy has emerged in me. One that has allowed me to align with my dharmic work more fully, more authentically. In fact, the clarity that emerged from this process, has allowed me to create an even more powerful course to support your healing and transformation process. Deepen and awaken your inner feminine wisdom with jyotish, embodiment and creativity! I'm so ecstatic to share this offering with you! Get the Details Here. I'll be sharing more resources in the coming days- during the nine day Vedic Celebration of Navaratri- to support your own transformational process and help you align with your feminine wisdom. I've also posted a new tapping meditation podcast below to support you with leaning into your feminine wisdom. As you deepen your relationship with your wild, feminine wisdom, trust your steps. The journey is not necessarily easy, or comfortable, but the results are well worth navigating the rocky terrain of your inner landscape. Pulling up old roots, in order to plant new seeds, will provide you with a rich and potent harvest. Five steps to remember as you deepen your relationship with Her: - Any obstacle or blockage can be overcome by increasing your creative intelligence. Where is your resistance to this life force energy? To the nourishment? - Aligning authentically with your True Self requires the removal of any vows you have taken (consciously or unconsciously). These vows block your creative life force energy and keep you resistant to change. Many are tribal, familial, cultural or ancestral. - Your emotions and your emotional body wisdom will show you the way. Emotional body literacy helps you identify needs and will help you find new resources for your growth. Your feelings will tell you everything! - Receptivity, being able to receive fully, is vital for increased creative flow and nourishment. Where are you resisting the flow? - Self care practices increase your receptivity, the ability to receive nourishment. Make sure you're attending to self care on all four levels of your being- Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual. Notice where there are holes in your Self Care practices. Increasing Your Receptivity Your Creative Intelligence is your wild feminine wisdom. Increase your ability to receive Shakti, life force energy, and you will increase your Creativity Intelligence naturally. What's keeping you from fully embracing all the nourishment that surrounds you? What is keeping you from receiving the abundance of Nature and Her gifts? What type of relationship do you have with your Divine Feminine wisdom? Simply put, you have blockages in the way, keeping certain channels clogged, restricted, overburdened with toxins. When your channels of receiving are restricted, the flow can't move through you fully. These blockages may be on the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual body levels- or all four pathways. Removing the blockages from all four levels of your being, is essential for maximum life force energy to be received. Navigating your inner terrain very consciously is essential for identifying these obstacles and blockages. As you identify these blockages, you can then strategically use this information to make deep, inner change. Removing blockages that hinder your life force energy is essential for more life force energy and more flow. Increased creative flow, more life force energy, will increase your ability to receive money, health, vitality, love, relationships, comforts, ideas, artistry and inner harmony. Both Moon and Venus symbolize these factors in your jyotish chart. Their placements in your natal chart will show you where there is restriction. The effects the other planets have on your Venus and Moon will either support or hinder this flow. The other planets in your chart will also show you what channels are open and which ones are blocked. This is why jyotish is such a powerful resource for healing and transformation. The trick to changing and transforming the blockages is working with your full range of being, your entire inner landscape- not just the parts that you like, or feel good. Leaning into what is not working, the obstacles and challenges, can be the most effective way to clear your pathways for increased flow. Challenges and blockages are the mirror you need to identify what needs to change. Integration is Essential for More Flow This divine Shakti flow is essential in order to deepen your relationship with creativity. Creativity brings more ideas, more imagination, more money, more health and vitality, more passion, more pleasure. More of the good stuff! If you want more of the good stuff, you have to clear the blockages keeping you from receiving more. It may seem obvious, but if you can't receive this creative nourishment, you won't be able to increase this in your life. The Divine Feminine wisdom within is your receptive energy. She is your ability to be in receiving and feel the juicy, goodness of your life. This requires that you are in harmony with your feminine energy (expansion, opening, fluidity) and your masculine energy (containment, restriction, the known). Most people (men and women) have never learned how to use masculine and feminine energy in a way that promotes balance, inner harmony and vitality- rather than depletion and chaos. When the masculine and feminine polarities are at odds with each other, this conflict will increase fear, resistance, deep inner challenge, turmoil, overwhelm, self-sabotage behaviors and intensified shadow to emerge. This inner conflict is at the root of all major dis-ease. These inner conflicts will often manifest externally as a way to help you identify the imbalances. What relationships are you in conflict with? So many of these imbalances within the masculine and feminine energies are expressed by the conflicts in the world. How do you know if your masculine and feminine energies are in conflict? Notice the parts of your self that are saying yes, when the rest of you is saying no. Some parts may be saying no, while other parts are saying yes. Remember that outer conflicts are just bright, flashing mirrors that are being held up for you to look more closely so you can identify your own inner conflicts. Who and what are you in conflict with? This battle is at play within you as well. Can you tell? Integrating polarities, healing the conflicts and finding harmony between your opposing forces is the fast track to deeper receptivity and receiving more nourishment in life. When inner polarities align, all the energy that was being used to stay in battle, is suddenly freed up. This energy can then be used in life supporting ways. Your energy will naturally start moving in a direction that supports greater nourishment and harmony. Learning how to integrate polarities and deepen your receptivity is a powerful resource for awakening your full potential. Your feminine wisdom is vital for increasing more nourishment in your life. She will show you the way and help you navigate the uncharted territory of your inner terrain. I'm so passionate about supporting women in this process of inner integration! So many women are not using their divine inner wisdom in the most potent and powerful ways. They stay in lack, without stepping into their brilliance fully. What a shame when you've come all this way, arrived in a female human body, in order to learn how to be more receptive! My work is here to support your growth and inner wisdom. To help you deepen your feminine gifts and inherent creative intelligence. So that you can feel more nourished and vital in your life. Ready to step into your Divine Feminine gifts?

Vasant Navaratri, or spring Navaratri, begins with the new Moon this year, on Thursday April 7th at 04:24 am PDT. Sun and Moon are in Pisces and Revati nakshatra, the final star of the zodiac, signifying endings and beginnings. This is the mark of the Vedic Lunar New Year and the beginning of the sacred nine day celebration of Navaratri as well. Durga is enlivened at this time! The battle between good over evil intensifies in the coming days as Durga battles the demon Mahishasura. This battle takes place within every human being. The conflict between light and dark forces, polarities, is expressed through this sacred and timeless battle. It also mirrors the conflicts stirred between the masculine and feminine energies within. This battle is a wake up call, a clearing of old, stagnant beliefs, patterns and behaviors. Pay close attention during this sacred nine day celebration as inner and outer conflicts intensify. What does this conflict share with you about your polarities? What mirrors are being held up in order for you to make lasting change and transformation? Nava means nine in Sanskrit while Ratri means nights. This is a nine day celebration that is divided into three parts. The first three days are dedicated to the goddess Durga. Her warrior spirit cleanses, shifts, uproots, changes and transforms. Think of her as tilling the soil, prior to planting seeds. The next three days of celebration are dedicated to Lakshmi. Her abundance, nurturing, and wealth offer nourishment and support to us on all levels of life. Health is the ultimate wealth and Lakshmi brings this support as well. Finally, we have three days dedicated to goddess Saraswati. She gives us knowledge, understanding, wisdom, creativity and artistry. She is the rasayana (or healing balm) if you will to close this sacred nine day celebration. Together, these three goddesses bring wholeness, renewal, and the life giving offerings of Shakti. This creative life-force energy is truly what inspires life, living and abundance. She is your Creative Intelligence. At this time we can connect to these three goddesses most easily- inside of us, and around us. Because of this, Navaratri is considered a very sacred and powerful time of year- one that influences our inner and outer experience of life for months to come. To connect with the goddesses more closely, make special offerings on your altar to them during the nine days. You can also dedicate your actions and intentions to them for greater communication. Use this time for self development practices and sacred pause. Slow down and notice what is stirring within you and around you. I'll be sharing more resources and support in the coming days to help you use this potent time effectively. Be sure to follow along in my newsletter for more. Read More About Navaratri New Moon in Revati shares the support of Pushan with those who accept and receive his soft and gentle guidance. Pushan translates as "the nourisher" and through his resources, will help you flourish, prosper and grow. He requests gentle, subtle and thoughtful steps and honors inner sensitivity. As both Sun and Moon transit Revati, a sense of endings- for both masculine and feminine energy- is stirred. The soli/lunar energies within are seeking closure and completion. As doors close, trust the opening of new doors to follow. What are you saying yes to? What are you saying no to? Be conscious of your actions and choices. These karmas determine the fruits you will receive in the new cycle. If you've been following along with me in the past days and weeks, I've been sharing resources to support the alignment and integration of inner polarities. Through deepening the wisdom of the Divine Feminine, you can heal and transform the inner battles between opposing energies and find more harmony within.

Not only does the April new Moon coincides with the start of Navaratri, but the Vedic Lunar New Year as well. As Sun and Moon move through the final nakshatra of the zodiac, this sparks release and letting go, while ushering in openings and beginnings simultaneously. This will effect emotional body release, allowing creativity and fluidity to increase in life supporting ways if the channels can be cleared effectively. Use this sacred time to diligently clear, purge and release through the mental and emotional bodies. Patterns, behaviors and choices that no longer serve you must be let go of in order to create space for the new. The cycle ahead promotes integration of opposing forces, inner conflicts and polarities. Duality is the absence of harmony, integration and union. Where are these polarities effecting your strength, courage and power? Notice how the inner conflicts are are keeping you stuck, frozen, overwhelmed and using your vital life force energy in ways that keep you in struggle, lack and fear. Identify these inner battles and use resources and support to help you integrate and align your opposing forces. Understand that these inner conflicts will manifest externally as a way to intensify the mirror within. Any challenges with relationships, or the "other", are just a reminder to look more deeply within. Where are these outer difficulties a resource to identify your inner struggles? Polarities, including masculine and feminine dynamics, will be at strong odds in the cycle ahead. It's vital to address these places within head on. Use my New Moon Navaratri class below for extra support and guidance with this process. Step into your warrior spirit, your wild divine feminine wisdom, and allow her power to move through you. She is the receptive and can help you hear what you need to do- or not do- in order to find inner harmony. Where are these inner conflicts keeping you from receiving more nourishment, support, guidance and wisdom? Give your self space to pause and listen. To receive the abundance that surrounds you. Move too quickly, force or rush to achieve and gain or experience an outcome, and this will disconnect you from your potency and inner knowing, from Her divine wisdom and support. Go slow and allow the sacred to move through you and transform you. As you attend to and unravel your inner feminine intelligence in the coming days, you are preparing for harmonizing and aligning with your masculine energies in a more balanced way. Attend to Her needs and Her wisdom first, then the structuring support of the masculine can attend to Her in a more integrated and harmonious way. The Vedic New Year officially begins on the 13th of April, as the Navaratri celebration comes to a close. Sun moving to the first sign of the zodiac, its sign of exaltation, Aries, marks the beginning of the solar renewal within. Immense power and potency is available at this time. Take the necessary steps for maximizing this strength. What does She need from you? How can you listen to Her needs and her wisdom more carefully? If you are ready to step more powerfully into your sacred feminine wisdom, to heal conflicts between your masculine and feminine energies, as well as polarities within, please join me for my Spring/Summer 2016 Jyotish Astrology Classes ~ for Transformation and Healing.

Extra Tapping Meditation Resources: Tapping Meditation for Integration of Polarities Tapping Meditation to Heal the Inner Goddess Who is She? She is wild, untamed and unpredictable. She is your divine, feminine wisdom. Your emotional body. Your intuitive guidance and creative intelligence. She is your inner Moon. She rules receptivity and She will determine your feelings of nourishment in life. Know Her and know your divinity. Understand Her wisdom and become the magic of life! But how do you know if you're in right-relationship with Her? With your Divine Feminine Self? The truth is, most humans are in some state of conflict with various parts of themselves, especially their inner feminine wisdom. Here are some signs you might be in conflict with Her: - Confusion about choices, answers or solutions. - In a state of chaos or overwhelm. - Over stimulation or over activity causing heightened stress in the four bodies. - Excess emotion, extreme emotional sensitivity. - Living in black and white with no space for the unknown. - Taking in too much, overly receptive- resulting in depletion of one or more of your bodies. - Challenges and obstacles with all things Venus and Moon (Money, food, comforts, relationships, creativity, flow, emotions, health, vitality, female organs). - Lack of ideas, creative activation, not feeling excited or passionate about life. - Little to no intuitive awareness or wisdom. - Problems with your mother, female figures or female relationships. - Resistance to pleasure, joy, abundance, flow, creative intelligence. If you answered yes to one or more of these signs, you are likely in conflict with your inner feminine wisdom- on some level of your being. Often these vows are taken at a very young age. Later on in life, the suppression of your divine feminine wisdom will result in systemic issues on some level of your being. This is not unusual since the Western-centric culture is predominantly rooted in the masculine energy of product instead of process, external focus rather than internal focus. The feminine is more responsive, receptive and therefore in tune with process, flow and surrender. In truth, we need balance between both the masculine and feminine energy within, but so often there is a conflict keeping us from experiencing this inner harmony. When the issues with your feminine wisdom come to the surface of your awareness, when they become conscious, they can be identified and confronted. This usually arrives as some challenge, obstacle or conflict within you- or with another person. Are you experiencing an inner conflict? Part of you desires surrender, but the rest of you is terrified of letting go. You tell yourself you should slow down and listen, but you keep pushing past the signals anyway. Maybe you don't hear the signals at all. Often there's a terror about "losing control" or being in the unknown, the grey territory of life. You are afraid of vulnerability and see the receptive, the feminine, as weak. Resistance to change or receiving support. This conflict with your feminine wisdom is keeping you from feeling deeper nourishment and harmony within you and your life. The truth is, it's a very old story. If you're ready to re-write this story, reclaim your divine feminine wisdom, follow along with me in the coming days. I will be sharing some potent resources to help you connect with your Divine Feminine wisdom, your inner goddess. Join me for a *free* New Moon + Navaratri class this Sunday.

Honor this cycle of release and the upcoming Navaratri celebrations. Join the Class List. A theme has been emerging with my clients over the past few weeks. I hear it loud and clear. The dance of Rahu (shadow) and Jupiter (expanded wisdom) in Leo is having a powerful impact on personal development and growth. As we move through the eclipse portal (March 8th to 23rd) this theme has been intensifying. Each of us will be forced to confront light and dark forces within. Do you keep playing small, while staying in the dark, the shadow? Or do you lean into this darkness, in order to expand your life container and invite in more light? This is a choice. The problem is that many people will continue to miss the important messages arriving. Over and over again, I'm hearing my clients speak about their own self-sabotage. They are resisting and even refusing to look at their shadows. This resistance to progress, growth and change has dire effects on the desires, goals and dreams they have. Identifying self-sabotage means addressing fear, confusion or perhaps some inner conflict. So the shadow remains, sucking your inner power (Leo- Solar Plexus) and keeping you in illusion. Does This Sound Familiar? - Avoiding extra support, guidance and resources that you know will help you grow. - Being too "busy" to gather new resources and support, or even use the resources you already have. - Feeling overwhelmed and over-stressed, while life progress is slowed or stunted. - Frozen emotions, a flatness, within, often with the story that "everything is fine." - Hiding behind money issues as an excuse to not get the support you need. - Not showing up for guidance and support, saying you don't have time or money. - Avoiding action steps, with little to no momentum for change. - Not seeing solutions. - Using drugs, alcohol or food to numb, avoid or suppress your feelings. - Inner voices that are critical, judgemental and connected to fears and limiting beliefs. These are clear expressions of self-sabotage, limiting beliefs and inner shadow manipulation. The impact on your life has lasting effects. Most importantly, self sabotage keeps you locked in an ongoing struggle with missed opportunities for deeper nourishment, joy and success. Playing small also has dire and lasting consequences on your path and purpose. With each one of my clients, as the self-sabotage was named, addressed and moved through the bodies, they noticed remarkable results. Even though the self sabotage behaviors had been controlling and manipulating them for weeks and years, the change was immediate, the awakening tangible. Some have declared a new empowerment and courage to take action. Others felt a sense of freedom and new awareness arrive. For others it arrived with a sense of support, abundance and clarity with next steps. The results my clients see are remarkable. The sense of inner growth, creativity and thriving is tangible. The choices and successes they experience are life-changing. I know this can be your story as well. Are you letting self sabotage and limiting beliefs keep you in the dark? Are you playing small, operating your life on auto-pilot? Remember that "everything is fine" is not the same as being deeply nourished in your life. It usually speaks to a level of mediocrity and stunted growth. I know some of you are ready for change, but you just don't know what that looks like, or how that might feel. I know some of you are using the excuse of money as a way to keep yourself from taking action steps and getting the support you might need. So I ask you: What do you need right now on your path? Do you have support and resources for all four bodies- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual? Where are the holes in your support system and resources? How can I support you to deepen your growth and nourishment in life? Not sure?! Let's figure it out together! When you email me, you are connecting with me directly. Let me know what your needs are, or where you are feeling stuck. Together, we can create a plan of action for you. In the coming weeks, the eclipse portal will be amplifying your inner shadow. I encourage you to lean in, listen and notice. I know you are capable of immense growth and healing. I want this for you and I'm here to support your process. All you have to do is ask. Integration Tapping Podcast To support your inner growth and integration process, I've created a tapping script for you to use as a resource for stepping into your commitment to healing and transformation. It's especially valuable for creating more inner harmony during the eclipse portal and the cycle to come. In the podcast below, I share a tapping (EFT) sequence with you that will guide you through transforming and releasing the old stories and invite in more receptivity. Remember, we start with identifying the challenges, then moving into possibility and desires in order to transform our shadow into light. Use this podcast as you tap through these points: Karate chop point (side of the hand). Crown of the head. Eyebrow point (above the eye). Side of the eye. Under the eye. Under the nose. Chin point (crease of the chin). Throat point (collar bone/throat chakra). Heart point (center of chest). Stomach point (above the navel). Side body (nipple line at side of chest). Tap six to ten times on each point and just keep cycling through the points. Repeat the phrases I use aloud. Notice any thoughts, stories, memories or emotions that emerge as you tap. These are important pieces to return to, do more tapping on, as a way to clear blockages. As always, if the words I use don't work for you, change them to support your process more fully. Share your experiences below! What emerged for you in this process? Excited to hear from you! * One of my favorite things to do is hike in the woods. Often I tap and walk.

Create Your Life ~ In Five Easy Steps
I have said it before, but it's worth repeating over and over again. You do not create your life or manifest your desires from thoughts, thinking or the mental body. Creating what you want can only be done from the feeling level. Therefor the emotional body is a crucial resource for developing the skill of manifestation. The trouble is that your feelings also get in the way. On a conscious level, you may really want the new job and think you deserve it. You may even think you have a great shot at getting it! But under the conscious level of your awareness are emotions that will sabotage your ability to receive the job. You say you want it, but your unconscious feelings determine the outcome. Subconscious patterning, stories and your personal mythology are actually what is running your life. They often emerge as self sabotage behaviors and a resistance on some level to attract nourishment and support. The default story keeping you from the job may be "I don't deserve" or "I'm afraid of success". These stories are connected to deeply rooted, old wounds. These old stories, stir feelings and emotions that keep you locked in a cycle of not getting the results and outcomes you long for. I am a huge advocate of self development work and targeted resources to re-pattern, change and transform these old, subconscious stories and patterns. I use jyotish, embodiment resources, creative and art therapy tools, as well as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to help my clients move, change, transform and recreate their life stories. These resources work to bring change in a sustainable way. Remember that feelings are what help you create what you want. If you don't feel nourished, you won't be able to create more of it in your life. Here are five steps to deepen your relationship with your feelings and start manifesting your desires. Five Steps to Create The Life You Want 1) What is the outcome you are hoping to achieve? Get vivid and descriptive. Visualize the outcome you want and picture it actually happening. 2) How will you feel when this outcome happens? Drop into the emotional body and identify the feelings and emotions you will have when this outcome takes place. 3) Track it. Let the awareness of this feeling or emotion arrive with clarity and notice where this lands in your physical body. Track physical body sensations and deepen your relationship with this feeling. 4) Notice when this feeling or sensation arrives. What actions, experiences, places, people, etc. bring this feeling to you? 5) Keep deepening your relationship with this feeling. Invite in more of this feeling and sensation. Keep deepening your relationship with this feeling daily. This will attract more of it to you and your life. Want some extra support with this process?
