Ichel Francis
Discover how all aspects of life can flow with ease when you become aligned with your deeper purpose and reclaim your personal power. Ichel connects with the cycles of nature, inner wisdom and guidance to allow you to remember who you are and move your life from mediocre to magnificent abundance.
This episode follows on from the previous one anout overthinking and living in your head.
Another way that shows up as not living in your heart is living in low grade anger.
This episode covers what this looks like, how to move from it and practices so you can start living a life more in your heart and more in love.
If you are asking if you are overthinking the short answer is yes!
In this episdoe we explore why you are overthinking and how it's not your fault.
If you're like most people who listen to this podcast, you are a light worker and an empath.
So sometimes when we are feeling big emotions like fear, it's energy we have absorbed and taken on from the collective, not even our own.
Sometimes when we feel big emotions like fear, it's simply energy that we've absorbed and taken on from the collective or our closest circles.
It's not even our own.
Immersing yourself in social media and the mainstream news in particular is detrimental to your wellbeing, so my suggestion is to put down the phone and step away...
You may consider it harmless to doom scroll on Instagram, TikTok, etc., but beware that these programs are designed to create an echo chamber around you.
For instance, if you find a story on social media that makes you pause and say, “Oh my goodness, that's awful! What if that happens to ME?”
...the algorithm will notice that you watched and reacted, so it will feed you more of the same. Before long, your entire feed is filled with stories that are reaffirming your worst fears and anxieties.
Fears that never would've been introduced into your life had you, say, spent that doom scroll time tending to your garden, or choosing to play with your kids or pets.
Whether it's social media, the news, or your gloom and doom next door neighbor, it's essential to separate what is yours from what is not.
How much personal power and energy do you leak by arguing with someone who is so committed to their opinion they will never see your perspective?
Want to hear one of my favorite pieces of advice about this? I learned it from my shaman.
“If you don't want to get wet, stay out of the water.”
What many of us do is dive straight into the water. We have an urge to get involved, we want to help our friends and family, we desperately want to save the other person.
As a result, we make ourselves wet by getting in that water, into that drama.
The truth is, you can choose to be on the riverbank where it's dry and leave everybody else is in the water to live their own life experiences…
In their stuff, in their stories, in their entanglements and attachments.
It's got nothing to do with you.
The power is within the observer. The power is within the unattached.
It is ALWAYS about you and your energy.
One foot in, one foot out energy will attract exactly that back to you.
You have to take a hard look at yourself. Where is your energy going? What is your focus like? Is it scattered about or is it laser beam zeroed in?
The reason why a laser works the way it does is because all of its energy is focused onto one spot.
But if you take those same beams of energy and scatter them them all over the room, the laser is going to have no power at all.
So, is your energy a scattered, fractalized laser beam?
Or is it super focused and showing the universe what it is that you want?
Whatever you're currently experiencing in your life is what you have created.
It's exactly what you though was or wasn't possible.
So, if your life looks pretty mediocre right now, it's because that is what you thought was possible or available to you.
But the happy news? You can pivot.
We're conditioned to think that whatever decision we make, that decision is final. That we're married to it for life. That we can't make another choice.
The truth is, you can turn your life into a "choose your own adventure."
You can choose one direction, and if that choice doesn't end up feeling good...
Or if things don't end up work out the way you intended...
You have the power to flip the script.
BUT before you do, trust that you were taken in that direction for a reason. You were meant to experience something specific.
Once you've integrated the lesson, simply allow yourself to choose a different direction...
Ever notice how elders seem so wise? It's not just a stereotype - it's because they get it! Time is finite.
I've learned time and again that the time to jump is always NOW.
So, let me ask you - what is stopping you from starting right now?
Could you start right now? Could you start tomorrow?
Don't be one of those people who are bitter and resentful and twisted 10, 20 years from now because of the chances you didn't take, because of the opportunities you didn't leap at.
I challenge you today to do one thing that you've been delaying - that one nagging thing you've been putting off.
What happens is that this simple action begins to change your identity.
So, what do you need to change in your stories that’ll allow you to take that leap right NOW?
Everything is constantly moving, nothing is at rest.
And that means you too.
You are constantly changing so if you don't uplevel everything in your life to align with that new frequesncy everything just feels, well 'off'
In this episode we discuss the types of change and what an uplevel might look like for you.
I was asked a question about the podcast many moons ago, and I’m finally getting around to answering it!
The question was, “What is alchemy?” (Fair enough, since the podcast is called “Aligned Alchemy,” after all.)
Alchemy is one of those words that is bandied around in spiritual circles, like “alignment,” “transmutation,” transcendence,” etc. Spiritual alchemy is basically the same thing the alchemists of old did, transforming their lead into gold, but now we're alchemizing our spiritual experience; our life experience.
Think of someone in your life who went through a really difficult, life-altering situation. Someone that you greatly admire because of who they've become today due to that experience. They took something dreadful that you would never wish on anyone and they're now showing others how to alchemize that darkness and come out into the light.
So that, to me, is what alchemy is. It's taking the most difficult, the most painful, the darkest parts of yourself and your life, and turning them into gold. And we're not talking science labs here. We're talking about your LIFE.
Nature has seasons and ebbs and flows, so why should WE be any different?
One of the biggest lies that we have been told (and this is one thing that I REALLY stand on) is that your worth comes from how much you do and how much you can constantly go go go go go without stopping.
The idea that the more you do, the more valuable you are is an absolute crock of utter nonsense.
Nature gives us all the cues and leads and everything that we need. Honestly, there are lessons to be found there EVERY single day.
If you take your cues from nature and you really take the time to pause and observe it, soaking up all the wisdom, you’ll see that nature bends to seasons and cycles, ebbs and flows.
Nature is never going full out 100 miles an hour nonstop. It knows when to push. It knows when to pull back. It knows when to be in action, it knows when to be in rest.
So, what if you took your cues from nature? What if you allowed yourself to flow into these seasons and cycles as well?
And you can learn all about my upcoming Sacred Seasonal Collective Mastermind here (doors open back up soon): https://www.ichelfrancis.com/sacred-seasonal-collective
Do you stick with things that don’t resonate anymore? Or get distracted by what other people say you "should" be doing, especially when it comes to business and creativity?
Of course, it’s great to get helpful advice, but it is ALWAYS a good idea to follow your path with heart.
Does it feel fun? Does it feel exciting? Is this the direction you even want to go in anymore?
Do what feels good. Because I'm telling ya, if you’re not feeling good or excited or aligned, nothing that you put out, nothing that you create, will feel good. And people will read that energy ALL day long.
Life is to be lived, so grab it with both hands. Follow your bliss. Do what lights you up. And make sure not to become disconnected from that along the way.
This week’s episode is mostly a PSA for these challenging times, but also serves as a more nuanced way of looking at the concept of self-care and how to discover the specific "medicine" that we need.
This episode of the Aligned Alchemy podcast explores…
-Why there's actually nothing to worry about despite these intense solar flares
Why it's important to move out of the left brain during these challenging times
-Why it's perfectly fine if you're not experiencing anything groundbreaking
-Why multitasking takes us out of the moment
-How to identify what YOU need and how to give that medicine to yourself
You’ve got this. We’ve got this. We’ll find our way through.
Everything you think you know, everything you are accepting as the way it is, might just not be the case.
Life is about the being not the doing but so many have it the other way round.
Lessons from nature, this one came from the swallows as they returned for the Spring and Summer.
How many of you from a really young age asked, "What am I doing here?"
Like it or not, the fact of the matter is that every single thing about you, YOU chose.
Your mom, your dad, your siblings, the color of your skin, your gender, your nationality - you chose to be here and now for a reason, to learn lessons and evolve the way your soul needs to at this moment.
And not only do you have your spiritual lineage, you also carry the wisdom and lessons of your ancestry and bloodline here on earth!
So, do we come to the planet with a natural ability, or is it more a matter of teaching, practicing, and mastery? And do our children inherit our gifts, too?
A word of caution as you ponder this week's Aligned Alchemy Podcast episode on nature vs nurture - you might not like what comes up to the surface under this full moon in Scorpio!
Everything is illuminated, bringing the hidden out front and center...
I advise you to lean into this energy by allowing hidden or unexplored truths to bubble to the surface. Trust that everything happens for a reason! And do let me know what you discover...
If you’re sensitive to locations and environments, the energy of specific places may greatly affect your personal energy as soon as foot touches ground.
I believe many of us possess this gift of clairempathy…
Think back to a time when you looked at photos of a seemingly-perfect vacation spot or flipped through the listing of a promising new home, but when you actually stepped into the area, physically, you felt something else entirely.
My advice? Listen to this inner knowing and choose where you spend your time wisely!
This episode of the Aligned Alchemy podcast explores…
- Tapping into the gift of geographical and environmental sensitivity
- Why listing prices and property taxes aren't the most important factors when considering a new home
- Tools to protect your environment when circumstances change
- How to get your energy “back” asap!
- The sacred spot I chose for my summer solstice retreat and why I said, “Yes, this is it!”
If a summer solstice retreat in the highlands of Scotland, on sacred ancestral ground, with sister goddesses (and yours truly) sounds like your idea of heaven, you can check out all the details here: https://www.ichelfrancis.com/retreat
Spaces are limited, so I encourage you to secure your spot asap if you feel called to join us in June.
Ultimately, an eclipse is a bringer of change. And today's eclipse is a bringer of How do you feel about drastic change?Are you like, "Yeah! Bring it on!"Or more like, "Uh oh, I really don't like the unknown..."Either way, trust that this eclipse is accelerating what you need. This might not be what you want to hear from me right now, because what we need isn't always what we want to hear, but trust that the wheels are in motion.Ask yourself - "What would a warrior do at this time?"When you receive what you receive with this eclipse, simply be thankful, take your medicine, and take your lessons from it.
How many life metaphors are you being given all the time but are not finding the true lesson within them?
We often think that signs are completely mundane, ordinary things (which they are, to the layperson).
However, every sign is interlaced with magic and ancient wisdom containing beautiful lessons and messages.
IF and only IF you choose to see them...
If you don't, it's easy to think you're just moving through life on a mundane hamster wheel.
Once we break free from this illusion, we realize that magic is interwoven into every single thing...making every encounter meaningful.
Aligned Alchemy podcast explores…
- A frustrating tech issue that turned out to be more of a "me" issue and the lesson that came along with it
- Why we think we need multiple signs (why one often doesn't feel like enough)
- Our inclination to bend and manipulate signs in order to confirm what we already believe
- The pitfalls of rushing through life and the important things we miss when we're in "go" mode
- A simple trick to slowing down and embracing the "transitional" phases of life
- How self-trust factors into everything

You have a spiritual gift.
Something that comes so easily and naturally to you that you may not even consider it a gift.
Are you allowing your gift to be seen?
Are you even aware of it in the first place?
Sometimes we subconsciously don't acknowledge our spiritual gifts because this acknowledgment involves allowing parts of our current identity to fall away...
Our current understanding of how the world works, maybe even the foundations of our childhood, how we were brought up, and the things we were taught.
To fully acknowledge your spiritual gifts would mean putting away some of those understandings, and that can create such cognitive dissonance that it further prevents you from acknowledging them in the first place.
This episode of the Aligned Alchemy podcast explores…
- How to find and accept your spiritual gifts
- Why assumptions and comparison can dilute your potential
- How society makes us believe that we can't freely share our gifts
- Why holding back our gifts is detrimental to the planet
- The power of acceptance and acknowledgment
I truly hope that this episode unlocks something within you, inspiring you to realize your gifts and change your frequency for the good of the planet!

Have you heard of the "Witch Wound?"
It goes all the way back to the history of how witches, healers, herbalists, midwives, etc. were persecuted, hunted, and murdered in the most horrific of ways.
This gruesome point in time has been held as trauma in our bodies for hundreds of years, and is the root of why spiritualists and mystics avoid standing out...
It's for the sake of survival.
It's for the sake of being accepted and not rejected from the community.
So many of us still hold the subconscious belief that when we share our spiritual gifts, we'll be shamed or ridiculed. And, while this no longer means certain death, it does often result in a social "death."
However, hiding our true selves results in something far worse than social death - it results in the shaming and shunning of ourselves.
Trust that your authenticity is what makes you so profoundly beautiful. I would love to see a world where we can all show who we are…
This episode of the Aligned Alchemy podcast explores…
- A deeply personal childhood experience that I was told never to share outside of the home
- Why my mom called herself a "secret hippie"
- One of my most pivotal experiences with a mentor that changed everything
- Why we feel the need to blend in
- What happens when you allow yourself to be seen
Also, have you heard?! There is a powerful portal opening next week and I want to make sure you are able to make the absolute most of this opportunity.

Finding a community - a group of people who get you, a place where you feel safe, seen, and heard - is absolutely essential to how far, how fast, and how deeply you will go in your journey.
Many people (especially women) don’t feel safe or supported to share their true, authentic self with their local communities…
In fact, many women who are drawn to join my circles tend to have throat chakra issues due to their struggles trying to express themselves without fear of judgment from their peers.
It’s amazing the magic a supportive community can weave around you, inspiring you to shine your light so that you can, in turn, light the way for others.
This episode of the Aligned Alchemy podcast explores… The stories we’re told (and believe) that prevent us from shining our light * Why having a guide is just one part of the journey * How to use your “training wheels” to learn how to prepare for the bigger world * Why you’re never truly alone * Juicy teasers and a special invite!*

Have you ever thought you were coming from a place of love for wanting to help someone (especially someone close to you)?
Despite your best intentions, there is actually something else that can be at play here.
You may be so much in your ego that you think you know exactly what that person needs…
But how can you? Do you know what their personal karma is? Do you have a roadmap of their life?
The situation very easily crosses over into control...
“I know what's best for you. Just DO THIS THING that I'm giving to you! I KNOW it's going to give you the results you need!”
But how do you know that?
Just because it gave YOU certain results doesn't mean it's going to give the person you love those same results.
What if forcing them to go down a specific path means that they miss out on an entire lesson that may have been life changing for them if they had just figured it out on their own?
Most of us can’t see into the future. So we must release control and expectation, trusting that whatever is happening is happening for the highest good of all involved.
Also, be sure to download your FREE copy of the Personal Power Retrieval Process eBook that I mention in this episode. I take you through the steps that I took and I give you all of the tools that I have used to show you how to call your personal power back in so that you can do what you have been put here on earth to do.

Is your worth dependent on what you do?If so, what happens if that title changes or is taken from you?Who are you then?How much doing, exactly, do you have to do to feel worthy? And what would happen if you stopped doing?
All this and more in a deep dive into this commonly-experienced notion that your worth is somehow linked to your ability to do. I’m here to assure you that this is not true!
This episode of the Aligned Alchemy podcast explores… How we are conditioned to “do” by our parents, role models, and society
* The beautiful experience of just “being”
* Why creating doesn’t have to involve an agenda or specific outcome
* Exploring ways of being that are free from the compulsion to monetize, monetize, monetize everything
* Where expansion, inspiration, and new ideas truly come from*

Have you ever wondered what your dominant element is?
Earth, fire, air, or water?
Resonating more deeply with one is not to say that you dismiss the others - trust that there’s beauty and value in everything.
For instance, I’m a summer girl - I claim it as “my season.” But this doesn’t mean that I shirk or dread all the other seasons, it just means that I feel more in my power in the summer months; more vibrant, alive, more motivated, and I lean into that energy.
This episode of the Aligned Alchemy podcast explores… How you may already be connecting with your dominant element, plus real-life examples of what that may look like
* My dominant element and the “superpowers” it gives me when I work with it
* What “shower thoughts” are and why they happen
* How to connect to the real you and remember who you are
* How and why I choose specific rituals each month for my Goddess Moon Circle members*
I invite you to take just 20 minutes out of your day to have a listen and let me know on Instagram or Facebook what you discover about yourself! Which element do you naturally resonate with?
P.S. If you’d like to learn more about the Goddess Moon Circle, you can take a look at this intimate offering here.

Many of us know our time on the planet is limited, but we don't really get it. Do you?
If you did, you would wake up and live differently tomorrow.
Tomorrow is promised to no one, and yet, if you're like most people, you are still delaying making decisions, choices, and putting off the things you really want to do because you think you know the timeline. But the truth is, none of us do...
Life is short, fleeting, and incredibly beautiful if you see it for all it is in the moment.
What would you change tomorrow if you truly, truly knew this reality for yourself?
This 50th episode of the Aligned Alchemy podcast explores... Why thinking you “have all the time in the world” keeps you stuck on the hamster wheel of life
* What happens when you stop delaying and step into the present
* Why it’s important to enjoy the little things
* The absolute joy that comes from simply being alive*
So no more delaying, yeah? I encourage you to take just 18 minutes to have a listen.
P.S. I’ve realized that this episode marks number 50 of the podcast! Many thanks and gratitude to those who tune in each week.

Since listeners resonated with the last episode of the Aligned Alchemy podcast,“How to Manifest Anything,” I’ve decided to continue the convo with an exploration that dives more deeply into the energetics of how we manifest using language and frequency.
Your words have resonance. The words you choose create a FEELING in you and that is what emits your frequency to the Universe.
So yes, your choice of words are important, from a frequency point of view on where it places your attention, asking you to reflect on what you are really saying when you speak.
Are you asking for more abundance or more lack?
Subtle changes can lead to some pretty astounding changes so, in this episode, we go into the effective tweaks and the power of truly HEARING the language that you may not even know you are currently speaking. This episode explores…/em>
- The importance of watching your thoughts and words
- How to flip feelings of lack, jealousy, and comparison into feelings of trust
- Engaging with the senses to step into the frequency of “being here now”
- How to create rapid shifts in your life
- Being a good receiver in order to become a match to the frequency with which you’d like to align
https://linktr.ee/ichelfrancis
There are generally two schools of thought when it comes to manifesting. However, both often miss an imperative step...
When you add in this step, THAT'S when the magic really starts to happen.
In this episode of the Aligned Alchemy podcast, I bring you a real life, personal example of manifesting the seemingly impossible. Specifically, the magic that occurred that brought everything together for my in-person retreat in the Highlands of Scotland in 2023.
I give you the exact process I used and how you can apply it to anything that you are creating in life right now.
The Scotland Retreat is happening again in 2024, by the way, and is now open for spots!

What does connection mean to you?
Are you a surface level surfer or a deep dive connector?
To be connected is to be a part of something...do you feel like you're a part of something outside of yourself, or are you feeling more and more disconnected lately? (If so, you're not alone.)
Part of the reason that so much of our power has been taken from us is because of the perceived notion that we are disconnected from the earth, from nature, from our human relations.
Remember...you are nature. You are connected...
This episode of the Aligned Alchemy podcast explores: Why it's important to go back to your senses
* The energetic difference between an introvert and an extrovert
* How you show up on this planet
* How differently we would act if we trusted that we are truly connected to each other and are a vital part of the earth*

Ever wonder why you always seem to be working from just enough rather than having an abundance of money in your life?
Consider the energy that the word "wealth" has...
What comes to mind when you hear it/say it? How do you feel in your body? What emotions arise?
Whatever comes up for you is very telling, and holds the key to how you view money and success (and, more importantly, what may be standing in your way of those things).
In this episode, we explore what wealth and success mean to you on a personal level and if the stories you currently hold could be the very things that are blocking you from receiving more.
This episode also explores... What "being in alignment" truly means
* Popular misconceptions about the wealthy
* Why getting super clear about your values is important
* The best ways to allow abundance to flow into your life
* Why it's crucial to review your idea of success on a regular basis*

Did you know that nothing actually changes from Dec 31st to Jan 1st?
What if you explored working from a new beginning that worked in tune with you, nature and her cycles, rather than some Gregorian calendar that throws us off our natural rhythms?
In this episode, we explore the alternatives. And if you do really want to make Jan 1st your new start, a word of caution and how you can be best placed for your own success.
This episode also explores… How to create your own rules
* Why you may feel like you’re stuck in hibernation mode
* Your true motivations, level of responsibility, and integrity
* What to remove and leave behind NOW
* How the most successful people I know approach the new year*
https://linktr.ee/ichelfrancis
Is the title of this episode incorrect?
Surely it is meant to be the gift of giving, yes? (Especially considering that we’re deep in the holiday season.)
Yes and no!
In this episode of the Aligned Alchemy Podcast, we look at the real reasons behind why you might be stuck in giving mode AND the shocking repercussions of what happens when you don’t receive…
This episode also explores… The way the energy of the world works
* How and why we tend to block the flow of reciprocity (aka Ayni)
* The main cause of not being able to receive fully
* What you’re telling the universe about how you see yourself when you subconsciously reject abundance
* What to do the next time you receive a gift or compliment
* How to adopt the sacred art of balance*

Ever wonder...
Why spiritual evolution is so hard?
Why our lessons have to be so painful?
What’s with the difficulty surrounding dark night of the soul?
In this episode of the Aligned Alchemy Podcast, we explore the reasons why these experiences are so hard and what you can do to make your next spiritual jump easy, pain-free and quick!
This episode also explores... Why we’re so resistant to the lessons our spirit guides dole out to us
* The challenging circumstances surrounding shamanic death
* A phenomena that I call the “snow globe effect”
* How to take the next big quantum leap to level up your spiritual evolution
* Why YOU’RE the one you’re waiting for (not a knight on a white horse)*

This episode is inspired by snowy Northern Lights and a beautiful golden moon rise!
In fact, the stunning aurora borealis phenomena made me bump this week’s intended topic back. I actually had an entirely different subject matter in mind, but I felt compelled to talk about magic instead. (Can you blame me?)
I speak on the energetics of how our Universe works; the idea that when you seek out magic in your life, you will find it.
And when you can be in that state of childlike wonder and awe, gratitude for the pure magic that surrounds use every day in nature on this planet, that state, will attract magic back to you.
Most of my greatest manifestations in life have come after totally surrendering to being in this joyful place of SEEING and inviting in more magic.
This episode explores... What magic might look like for you and an invitation to seek it out from this very moment.
* How to be so deeply present that you can transcend your 3d existence and move into another dimension.
* How to become a vibrational match to magic.
* Why it's important to pause each day to absorb the magic in your life (even if it’s just for 10 seconds).
* The reason you're on the planet right now.*

This one of the money stories that kept me blocked for so long!
That somehow being spiritual equated to living a life of punishment and shouldn't I get enough from just being spiritual?
This episode is for you if you believe that wealth is not available to you for whatever story you have created around it.
Money is energy and you can choose to be comfortable attracting it or not.

The more you try to figure out what your lesson is the more it will run from you.
Just the act of wanting life to be exactly a ceratin way actually closes doors of possibility that were open to you.
Just let go of the attachments you have to how things should look.
There is no other way.

It is easy for your mouth to say one thing and your actions another but are you aware of what creates that?
When someone (or even yourself) says they are one thing but everything the person is showing you is the absolute contrary.
Are they lying on purpose? Or is something else going on under the surface that they may have a blind spot with and be unable to see?
In this episode, Ichel talks about self deception, cognitive dissonance and the work it takes to remove all of the stories in order to come back to the true you.

When you can begin to truly see the unique gift that you are to the Universe, it starts to become less about you and more about who you can help.
No-one else can say it like you, bring it like you, deliver it with your energy.
You are the only you that will ever be.
Discover what that really means and what to do with it inside this episode.

When you live a deeply grateful life, does it ever mean that you abandon your own hopes and dreams, wants and aspirations because it is easier just to go along with others than to sit in the discomfort of first identifying what you actually want and then even more painful, knowing that you won't go after it.
This episode explores more of gratitude vs settling.

When faced with the discomfort that making decisions can bring, you may, like I did, think it's safer just to stay still and not move in any direction.
Just don't make any choice at all.
When you begin to see that not doing anything is also actually making the choice to not do anything, you can begin to see that you are allowing and encouraging your own helplessness and feeling like you are stuck.
Because change is always coming, no matter what choice you make, choosing to stay still is not possible when everything else moves past you, you are actually going backwards.
So you can choose to redefine what it means to make different choices and accept change and even some chaos as you move!

No, this isn't about getting rid of or 'killing' your ego.
It's about having the awareness to see when your ego is in the driving seat and you might not be operating from your highest values in order to create the impact you came here to make.
This episode covers how to see that, what the cost is to stay in your ego and the benefit of working in harmony with your ego.

What does it look like in your life when you can get to a place where everyone else is doing one thing and it is so out of alignment with who and where you are you can say NO and sit in the uncomfortableness of watching, the not doing.
Then SEE what happens when you go your own way, forge your own path, go against the grain of what you have been told and TRUST that all that is yours is coming to you in divine timing.
The expansion that is available to you when you align and trust yourself which direction to move in rather than following everyone else like a sheep, knowing that it is out of alignment with who you really are.
TRUST YOURSELF!

Change is always happening. All the time.
Some changes we have no control over, but most change we can co-create and mould into what we intend for our lives.
Where in your life are you allowing others to choose change for you and passively allowing that?
What would happen if you became an instigator of change, a true creator of your life and took responsibility for that and chose the change that will move you towards the life that you intend in your highest good?

Mother nature is truly one of the greatest teachers you will ever have in this lifetime if you choose to slow down enough and have the awareness to truly hear her lessons.
A few years ago, she gave me a real biggie, through her gorgeous flowering plant, wisteria.
Not only was I completely entangled in my own stories and leaking personal power left right and centre, it also showed how I was doing this EVERYWHERE in my life.
Listen in so that you too can learn the lessons of wisteria and see how it can change your life instantly from this moment, when you truly choose to hear the lessons.

Sometimes you hear messages loud and clear and sometimes you have to take a little harder nudge.
This is when taking your own medicine can be pretty hard to swallow!
Ever wonder if our elders were onto something with their phrases like 'Patience is a virtue' 'All things come to those who wait' especially now as most are moving through life at a hurtling speed but where are you really in a rusg to get to?
What are you missing out on by always rushing to the next place?
Nature shows us patience in cycles of 100's sometimes 10000000's of years.
What can open for you when you slow down, accept you are exactly where you are meant to be and just hit pause for a moment?

There are layers and levels to everything and that includes awareness.
Awareness is everything because without you are asleep. That's what I call level zero. Asleep and unaware that you even are asleep.
This then progresses up through 7 different levels of awareness as you navigate your life on this planet.
Most people never get past level zero.
So the fact that you are here, listening to this podcast, tells me you are most likely at at least level 1!
Listen to this episode to discover what all the levels are, where you align and that wherever you are right now is EXACTLY where you need to be.
Gratitude for all the lessons and new awakenings at each level, sinking in and receiving.

How are you speaking to yourself?
Do you give yourself the same love, support and grace that you give to those you love the most in your life?
What causes you to be so hard on yourself all the time when you are just doing the best you can, with the tools you have for where you are?
Especially when on a spiritual path, people often think "I should get this by now" "What is wrong with me?" "Why is everyone else further along than me?"
Everything will begin to shift when you work from wherever you are is exactly where you are meant to be, that if you don't get it 100% perfect, you don't have to throw in the towel and quit, you just keep going and pick yourself back up again.
No-one is "there" everyone is learning, give yourself enough grace and love to see that in yourself.
If any of this is resonating, listen to this episode as it's a true message from the heart.

Do you often feel utterly exhausted at the end of the day like you have nothing left to give?
Are you aware how many times, from when that alarm first wakes you in the morning, that you give away your personal power?
With every interaction that doesn't go your way, every trigger, every frustration, every entanglement into things that don't pertain to you, every fear of judgement, every spiral into thinking you are not doing it 'right'.................every time you leak a little energy, you make an agreement to give away some of your personal power.
Then imagine how life could look when you begin to call back that power, when you reclaim and build what has always been yours.
It doesn't make others powerless, you are just reclaiming what belongs to you.
What could you create when you stop giving away your power?

There are Universal laws of energy at play that you can choose to connect with and co-create everything you have ever intended in your life.
You have to send the message out to the Universe that you are ready to receive.
If you are confused and have a one foot in one foot out energy, that is exactly what you will receive back as manifestations in your life.
When you can send a signal that you are ready to trust, to truly commit to and follow the path with heart, that you trust the laws of the Universe and most of all that you trust yourself, you will most likely begin to see and feel HUGE energetic shifts in your life.
What more has to happen for you to send that clear signal and begin to trust?

As St Germain puts it “Attention is the key; for where man's attention goes, there goes his energy, and he himself can only follow.”
In other words, whatever you focus on is what you will expand and amplify in your life.
What if you only put your attention onto what you intend more of in your life and move your attention swiftly from anything you do not want to attract more of?
Sounds pretty simple, right? And the truth is it is, but most people love to over complicate things!
Working with the laws of the Universe rather than against them can assist you in creating and shaping life exactly how you choose to live it.
And choice is the key, because you have the power 1000's of times a day to choose what you give your attention to and invite more of into your life.

Are you keeping yourself small because you fear outshining others and what that would mean about you?
How would others feel if you allow yourself to be bigger, would that make them feel less than?
However, what if you stepping into your authenticity and allowing your light to fully shine is EXACTLY what others need?
What if that is exactly what they need to find their way out of the darkness and you staying small and dimming your light is prolonging their pain and suffering?
Then it becomes not a question of who am I to shine my light so brightly but a question of who am I NOT to shine my light so brightly?

Often, in our society today, death is run from, hidden and not talked about.
However it is the one path we all have to take.
