Dear Goddesses,
I have created for you this magical journey into your own wisdom and imagination. Create a sacred space for yourself and allow yourself to sink into the loveliness of what is.

Begin to slow your breathing down and deepen your breaths

Allow yourself to begin to relax

Relax your entire body

Notice any tension in your body that you are still holding onto and let that go

Know that you are safe and it’s ok for you to just let yourself go

Continue taking deep soothing breaths and feel your stomach and your chest filling with nourishing air

Feel how life is supporting you and taking care of you, feel how safe it is to just let yourself go

Imagine that you are driving down a curvy highway in the middle of an ancient rain forest. You are the only one on the road, your window is open and you are breathing in the fresh, moist, fragrant air.

You see a sign on the side of the road that indicates a hiking path, so you pull over into the parking lot and get out of your car.

You stretch out your body and enjoy the feeling of being immersed in this ancient forest, quiet yet filled with mysterious life.

You see a walking path that begins just ahead of you and you begin your journey down this path.

You breathe deeply into the fresh aliveness of the forest. The air smells like forest magic and the air is so pure it feels like it is clearing your soul from any old debris you may have been holding onto.

It feels so good for you to walk, alone, embraced by the magic of the forest.

After you have walked for quite some time you see in the distance a little stone house. As you get closer you see that it is a lovely little house, surrounded by wild flowers and sunshine. You see a woman who appears to be in meditation sitting out in the flowers in front of the little stone house.

She seems to become aware of your presence and she opens her eyes. As she looks at you, you see that she is very radiant and has very wise and loving eyes. She is very beautiful and you feel comfortable and lovingly embraced by her presence.

She introduces herself as goddess of the sacred temple and she warmly invites you in for a cup of tea. You enter her home and you love how cozy and beautiful it is inside.

As she is preparing the tea, she tells you that the tea is goddess alchemist brew and that it will provide you with magical insight about your journey. You feel comforted by the wisdom that she offers you and you feel entirely safe in her loving care. You feel that your soul has come home and you don’t remember ever feeling so loved or at ease.

You sit together on very comfortable chairs and as you begin to drink the tea you feel your perception of reality begin to shift. You see that the woman who introduced herself as the goddess of the sacred temple actually looks very much like you. As you gaze into her eyes you begin to realize that she has all the wisdom you need to take the next step on your journey and that she is happy to share her sacred goddess alchemy with you.

She suggests that you take a journey into your future and see how your life could look five years down the road and witness the beautiful possibilities that exist in that future. You are thrilled to go on this journey with her, and you tell her that you are ready to experience your future. She brings you to another door in the house that you didn’t see before, and as she opens that door you step together into the future. She tells you that this is the future that lives in your heart, and it is what is possible once you ignite the power of the goddess of alchemy in your life.

You see your future house and it makes your heart happy.

Together you go and visit your work situation. You are living your passion and you love having the time to deeply absorb this image into your mind for future use.

You see the relationships that are in your life and you see that you feel supported by many loving people.

You have some time to have a look through this future life and you love all that you see.

The goddess of the sacred temple tells you that this is your reality, and she weaves an energetic cord attaching you to this future. She tells you that you can tune into this connection and allow the cord to pull you forward whenever you desire. You feel the connection to this future deep in your heart.

The goddess opens a door and you enter back into the stone house.

The goddess of the sacred temple tells you that she is your inner goddess self, and you can connect to her wisdom at any time just by going within yourself.

She tells you that there is no reason for you to struggle, that she is always available to guide you and support you in all that you do.

She gives you a warm hug and you leave the stone house and walk back into the forest. As you walk back to your car, you think about all the wisdom you have gained by connecting with your inner goddess self.

Love
Christina

Resistance can be a real mo-fo. It will act like a brick wall holding you back from living in your own greatness. We all have greatness that lives inside of us; we discover our joy for life in connecting to this inner spark. The biggest challenge is our getting in our own way and keeping ourselves in our safe, small world.

Some of the ways that resistance shows up in our lives is when the voice in our head starts speaking trash talk to us. It may say things like: you are not smart enough, you are not ready, you are not enough, you are not beautiful, you are not powerful, or it might tell you that you don’t have what it takes to make your inner vision into your reality. Your mind may tell you that you have to have all the details figured out before you are ready to make your move. These are all ways that your thinking mind will act to keep you safe in your comfort zone.

Your mind secretly feels threatened by the possibility of you shifting your reality so it will do every trick it knows to keep you where you are. Imagine a child in a dangerous home life, who is scared to leave what they know behind them. Your mind is your inner child and it is still reacting from all the times it felt scared in your life.

Your mind will look for evidence to validate these beliefs. It may show you how you didn’t get exactly what you envisioned when you did try and follow your inner truth, and tell you that this is a sign that it wasn’t meant to be. It will play a constant replay of the discomfort you felt when you tried to move yourself forward into the life your soul longs to live, and use this to validate your inability to change your reality. Your mind will tell you that if it was meant to be, surely it would be easier for you. If it was meant to be, surely the universe would be more supportive of what you are trying to create.

The truth is that the universe reflects back to you what you believe about yourself. When you are thinking trash talk, the universe will mirror this back into your life. You can’t hide things from the universe, even the deep, dark, scary thoughts that you think no one else can see. It’s only when you become fully on board with your own program that everything around you will conspire to make it happen.

How can you start moving forward in creating the vision that lives in your heart when you are dealing with your own resistance? Get clear about the direction you want to go, and take the smallest possible step forward in that direction. Once you become clear about where you want to go, the universe will provide guidance for the next step you need to take. This is how prayers are answered. Then after you have taken that small step, take another.

I recently hosted my first ever goddess workshop. At first, my mind told me that I had to have all the details about my workshop organized before I could do anything else. I didn’t know what these details were, so I didn’t take action. My mind was also telling me that I had to be living a perfect vision of my own truth before I could teach others. My mind told me I wasn’t perfect enough to teach other people anything of value.

I quieted my mind and connected to my heart. My heart told me to pick a date and book a venue. After I did these small steps my heart told me to create some promotional material. At this point my mind didn’t even know what the workshop would be about; my heart told me to make it about what I was best suited to teach. My heart told me to make the workshop about all of the things that I am already coaching people about. After I got clear about the details, a vision of what the workshop would be like started to form in my mind. This was the last piece that came together.

When you know your path forward but you still feel like it will take all the energy in the world to create a force strong enough to move you forward, just take the next small step. The path will become clear to you after you start building the momentum that begins with the first step. I have dealt with a shit load of resistance and I have got to this happy place in my life by taking a million baby steps.

Breathless... by Aubry Aragon

Dear Magical Universe,

As you know I am a contributor, as well as being on the receiving end of the Holiday Joy Up created by Hannah Marcotti. Our first soul work is to write you a letter. We are wishing, dreaming, asking. I know that by gaining my own clarity in what I desire my path forward to look like, that you will conspire with me to co-create what I desire. Thanks in advance for helping a sista, you totally rock.

To be honest, I have some mixed feelings about the holiday season. I love the celebration of joy part, and all the extra bits of love floating around through the air. I love all the acts of love, kindness and generosity. I love all the extra special attention put into so many small and loving details. The parts I struggle with I suppose are maintaining my sense of self as I am now, of not falling back into being the person I was five years ago. I struggle to not take a step backwards when I am surrounded by the energy of my family. Not that they are bad peeps, but I used to be a cynic and I feel that is the role I fall back into when I am surrounded by the familiarity of my past and who I used to be.

This year though, I am going to miss out mostly on the entire holiday season, so I am intentionally creating as much joy in my life before hand so the dates of significance don’t matter as much. I work part time in the arctic, in a remote and isolated site. I will be at work this year from December 21-January 4 so I feel like I am going to be missing out on so much seasonal joy. I will still be surrounded by love, but not the same intimate type of love from the people who love me most. I will miss out on Christmas morning love with my fiancé. This makes my heart sad, but I am choosing to focus on all the things that I deeply love in my life, and choosing to feel gratitude instead of lack.

This is what I am wishing, dreaming, and asking for:

I wish to feel fully enveloped in the love that exists in my relationship with my fiancé. We have not had very much time together lately and I want us to feel reconnected and fully connected to our passion and love for each other. I want us to enjoy sensual time together and fully enjoy some down time in our beautiful home.

I want to be surprised by lots of magical experiences that are more than I could have asked for on my own. I want to feel a constant in flow of goodness into my life.

I want to connect more fully with my soul sisters, the ones that I already know and the ones that I haven’t connected with yet. I want my life to feel fully supported by my nurturing relationships with my soul sisters. I love how safe I feel in these relationships and how I can go deeper into exploring my self.

I wish to connect with two more goddess coaching clients. This is me living my purpose and my passion and I want to have more opportunities to live in this energy. I want to easily connect with women that I will love working with, women who are ready to make big shifts in their lives.

I wish to easily connect with all the women who are ready to rock their lives in my next goddess workshop in January. I am ready, bring it!

I wish that my business was at a place where it fully supported me and there was no need for me to do any other work to support myself. However, I am enjoying the journey.

I want to connect with more people that I feel really excited about meeting.

I’m asking to feel fully supported in everything that I do. I am asking to allow myself to receive more of the goodness in life. I am asking to feel fully wrapped up in feelings of gratitude and love.

Thank you for hearing all of my wishing, asking and dreaming. I am eternally grateful for your loving presence in my life.

With Love,
Christina

Activating the energy of consistency

I have recently learned about the power of consistency. When you are living in the energy of consistency, then you are living without the energy of contradiction. I was holding onto some old contradictions, not realizing the full effect they were having on my life.

One way I was contradicting myself was in my practice of self-care. For me, self-care is a lifelong practice. It is something I am always expanding in and exploring in different ways to enhance my own self-care practice. I began to see the negative patterns that were created in all the different areas of my life when my self-care lapsed. When I stopped taking care of myself, other things in my life started to crumble as well.

When I was inconsistent with what I know inside of me to be my truth, then I experienced inconsistencies in everything else in my life as well. I had never before made such a deep connection between the inconsistencies in my life before. My strategy before had been to focus extreme amounts of energy in whatever area of my life I wanted to grow more. For example, to experience growth with my business I would focus on taking all the right steps forward and taking action on what I believed would be best for my business.

Through my own experimentation with this, I have actually learned that the best way to make anything in my life grow, or get better is to focus on being consistent with what I believe in; to focus on living my own truth. When I am in that energy, the energy of consistency, then all the details seem to work themselves out. For me to be living my truth I need to be moving my body, experiencing nature, doing things that make me laugh. I need to take care of my sacred vessel. I need to be collaborating and creating a sense of community in the work that I do. I need to be sharing my experiences with others and using that as a tool for my own growth.

With all the work that I do, I also get into the energetic component of what is showing up in my life. I discovered that the truth behind my inconsistency was that I didn’t truly believe in myself. I didn’t believe I was fully able to sustain the level of brilliance that I know lies inside of me. I secretly believed that the parts of me that are brilliant were actually broken into little pieces. I recognized that in being inconsistent I was keeping myself safe by protecting myself from the discomfort of change. I also recognized that this way of being no longer served me and it was making my life unreliable and untrustworthy.

I decided that I was ready to let all of this go. Once we are able to deeply look into our patterns and see them with understanding we also become empowered to release them. I decided I was ready to allow the universal truth of consistency become a part of me, and shift my reality so that I could live from that perspective.

You can activate your own energy of consistency by taking a loving reflection about the ways you may not be fully consistent in your life. Ask yourself how this way of being is serving you, and how it is not. Ask yourself how your life would look differently with your new perspective.

Joining together to create our own greatness

The truth is that we are all destined to live some variation of our own greatness. We all have some sort of beautiful message that lives inside of us, and through embracing our own message we then become our best self. We can connect with the energy of our own greatness, and this will pull us up into shining our brightest light. The biggest reason for us not to succeed at creating our own message in the world is in failing to reach out to others to support us. The journey of discovering our own greatness is not something we need to struggle through on our own.

We all struggle sometimes. The way the universe responds to our struggle is by surrounding us with people who can help us. There is always someone in our lives that has exactly what we need to know to help us feel it is safe for us to move forward. The other option is to hold onto our own pain, which allows us to be stuck in our own uncertainty. When we try to do it all on our own we get stuck in our same old thinking patterns and we don’t allow in the light that we need to see our path forward.

The way that life has been created is that we are all a whole bunch of beautiful pieces, that when combined are more magnificent than any one shining piece on it’s own.

Our lives are infused with all different types of relationships. We have lovers, parents, siblings, friends, coaches, and work mates. All of these people provide their own contributions to helping us be our best selves, even the ones that are a pain in the ass. There is huge power in collaboration, in all things.

For many years I lived a solitary lifestyle. I kept myself cut off from many people who could have supported me. I have done a lot of inner work that has helped me to change my reality to be one that is supported by many different people. My lover, my coach, my friends, and my family are always coaxing me into my own brilliance. In allowing myself to collaborate with others it changed my life on every level.

How can you lighten up one of your loads by bringing someone else into the mix? How can you more fully create what you desire by getting someone else to help you?
