Why I sold my business, lived in my van and pondered existence for a year
I
Two years ago, I sold my second business with the intention to simply be... To have an adventure and just be with myself... I had burnt myself out AGAIN from striving and doing business in a way that was really fear driven and quite masculine in structure. When I say masculine I just mean linear, action orientated and results driven, which is good, but I was out of balance.... Waaaaaayyy out of balance!... I was a perpetual striver, striving, to be something, to live with purpose, to know my purpose and to feel accomplished, but it was from a place of lack... Which of course led to burnout... You probably know this story well?
Its #BusinessExpressionWednesday and today I'm feeling inspired to share a little more about my journey to get here in this moment with you now....
Two years ago, I sold my second business with the intention to simply be... To have an adventure and just be with myself... I had burnt myself out AGAIN from striving and doing business in a way that was really fear driven and quite masculine in structure. When I say masculine I just mean linear, action orientated and results driven, which is good, but I was out of balance.... Waaaaaayyy out of balance!... I was a perpetual striver, striving, to be something, to live with purpose, to know my purpose and to feel accomplished, but it was from a place of lack... Which of course led to burnout... You probably know this story well?
So I dedicated a year of my life to unravelling this fucking stupid program that was stealing my joy and robbing me dry... (Don't get me wrong, I learnt so much and I am so incredibly grateful for all of the experience, the clients, my staff, the support of my beautiful partner at the time to make my dreams into a reality... It was awesome! But it ended in burnout ) .... I traded my 14 hour days in one location trying to get ahead, for living in my van and enjoying long days on the beach, allowing myself to do nothing, yes, nothing... Yep my brain went through some pretty solid melt downs and arguments, but my soul won!
I gave myself permission to do, be and respond to life according to the pulse of my soul guiding me forward and onward, in a new way... For months in my devotion time, the reflections from the universe were simple...
I am enough because I exist....
Because I exist I am living my purpose...
I realized that by being brave enough to step out of the system of striving for a moment & to dive into my feminine nature, that the space that opened in me was so wide and broad that I was able to really tune into the energy of receiving... Receiving information, love, rest, play (loads of play), sacred romance with mother nature, hot steamy nights with beautiful lovers, long luxurious days, sunsets with my family and friends playing music at Watego's watching the sun go down over the magical Northern rivers in Australia...
Sometimes I would feel guilty, And still the universe kept whispering
"YOu are living your purpose"...
When I really got it, deep in my Spirit, things shifted gears. I was able to then engage in inspired action... From a place of union within, a place where Divine information and love connect and start a fire that needs to be expressed.. In writing, song, or what ever expression it is...
I wrote, I sang, I shared circle with my amazing sisters (online circle is the bomb for gypsy gals, seriously so grounding). I studied, more hahahaaa. And I learnt how to truly self care... I began the birthing process of the sacred women movement, and I surrendered to that still small voice within me...
Thats why this is 'sacred' business expression wednesday. From the well of existential purpose (the purpose in being) creative passion builds.... And there is something so magical about the expression of that, it is our gift to ourselves, because we are giving our heart and soul permission to speak...
From this a new journey for women has birthed through me... A way of living and being in business in a feminine way, that respects and honours our cycles, that creates time and space for our depth, our seeming inconsistency (which by the way is not inconistent, it is "Feminine Consistency".... Feminine consistency mean we are consistent in our cyclic nature, our phases and our sensitivites... Do you see the moon trying to be consistent like the sun? No!!! She's on her own program, and creating so much healing on the planet! And so will you my sister, when you embrace your rhythmic nature.
If your vibing with this and want more that's awesome! I'm holding a workshop, called "Feminine Consistency" its specifically for creative soul driven women to and packages to support other creative soul driven women find a feminine rhythm. To live with purpose from a place of ease and connection to the natural cycles and take the load. This puts the connection in your business ventures and makes it enjoyable, with loads of reward. With this process your bleed is like entering a temple of dreaming.... Which creates a whole new revitalized space of doing biz!
If theres anything I want you to take away from this post it's this:
Rest my loves, find the time to deeply and truly rest, especially when you bleed, because from this space, you will spring forth your sacred expression in the world... And sign up for my workshop! Coz its time for us to do things with a whole new approach!! Ease baby, playful, deep, open, wild and free...
The Medicine Wheel and Your cycle
Finding feminine consistency is less about linear schedules and more about cyclic schedules. Creating your month according to the energies and archetypes that support your journey. Beginning your month after your bleed with inspiration, goal setting, dreaming, building to optimize your ovulation phase, then moving into the transformation phase where you can transform, heal and prepare for the deep let go and dreaming that happens with your cycle... We women have super powers and when we tune into the rythms that nature intended for us we get so much more done in much less time... Creating ample time to rest, replenish, be wild, be soft, snuggle up, seduce our lover, dance in the rain, work on our project, play with our kids, and put our best foot forward...
Are you familiar with the medicine wheel? I'm so excited to share this wisdom with you today!!!! I hope you find todays post truly transformational, medicinal and self empowering. As you use this wisdom each month for your cycle and your sacred time management planning, your life will absolutely become synced in awareness of the natural cycles. You will be aware of receiving assistance from our ancestors, and the wisdom of the 4 directions. I'm calling this version of the medicine wheel "The sacred law of 4 ~ The Feminine Wheel of Life"...
Before we begin it is with the deepest respect that we honour the keepers of this wisdom. We acknowledge the sacredness of this work and thank the ancient ones and the star people for making this wisdom available to us, the tribe of many colours, sacred women in service to the divine. We thank you Great Spirit Father Sky, Mother Earth & Spirit Tree for the wisdom and guidance you bestow in our hearts as we walk this sacred path of life.
The ancients used medicine created wheels as places of prayer and ceremony. Working with the 4 directions in this way brought the people of the tribe into alignment with the 4 elements, the 4 directions and Grandfather Sky, Mother Earth, Grandmother Moon & Father Sun. Inside the medicine wheel was a map of each person in the tribes birth, their shadows and their gifts & the medicine totems they needed. It brought peace to their land and ushered in powerful transformation until the white man came (or the christians in the case of the celtic people).
We are co creating life with all of nature, all of the time. Wether we are conscious of it or not, this life is a co creation. Our life is our ritual, our art and our service to the greater good of all of the cosmos. When we live our lives in this sacred way, our actions become our prayers.
It seems only fitting that our final lesson is bringing our intended lifestyle into alignment with our cycle & the cycles of life through the 5 elements. But first some history about the medicine wheel.
The medicine wheel is a symbol that represents the circle of life and death.
Historically, the monuments were constructed by laying stones in a particular pattern on the ground oriented to the four directions. Most medicine wheels follow the basic pattern of having a center of stone, and surrounding that is an outer ring of stones with "spokes" (lines of rocks) radiating from the center to the cardinal directions (East, South, West and North). (Wikkepedia)
As explained on 'Native Voices'
The Medicine Wheel and the Four Directions
The Medicine Wheel, sometimes known as the Sacred Hoop, has been used by generations of various Native American tribes for health and healing. It embodies the Four Directions, as well as Father Sky, Mother Earth, and Spirit Tree—all of which symbolize dimensions of health and the cycles of life.
The Medicine Wheel can take many different forms. It can be an artwork such as artifact or painting, or it can be a physical construction on the land. Hundreds or even thousands of Medicine Wheels have been built on Native lands in North America over the last several centuries.
Movement in the Medicine Wheel and in Native American ceremonies is circular, and typically in a clockwise, or “sun-wise” direction. This helps to align with the forces of Nature, such as gravity and the rising and setting of the Sun.
Meanings of the Four Directions
Different tribes interpret the Medicine Wheel differently. Each of the Four Directions (East, South, West, and North) is typically represented by a distinctive color, such as black, red, yellow, and white, which for some stands for the human races. The Directions can also represent:
- Stages of life: birth, youth, adult (or elder), death
- Seasons of the year: spring, summer, winter, fall
- Aspects of life: spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical
- Elements of nature: fire (or sun), air, water, and earth
- Animals: Eagle, Bear, Wolf, Buffalo and many others
- Ceremonial plants: tobacco, sweet grass, sage, cedar
The Sacred Law of 4 & The Feminine Wheel of Life
It is made up of 4 sacred circles, that represent the circle of life, they merge together to form one beautiful flower...
The 4 directions North, South, East & West, along with the 4 elements; Earth, Air, Fire, Water.. The 4 seasons; Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn. As well as the 4 Archetypes; Crone, Maiden, Mother, Maga. And the 4 phases of the moon; New, Waxing, Full and Waning.
When we work with the Sacred Law of 4 we are working with the of the earth, we become finely attuned with the natural rhythms & cycles of life both within and without. This in turn brings immense harmony & insight to our earth experience. The sacred law of 4 is considered by some as earth astrology and provides a platform/map for our lives.
A medicine wheel can be created for any cycle, a year, each season, your whole life!? For this exercise we are learning how to create & work with the medicine wheel for our menstrual cycle, integrating the elements explained above. Over time you will begin to experience each of the elements in your very unique way, as you will also experience your cycle in your own very unique way.
Finding feminine consistency is less about linear schedules and more about cyclic schedules. Creating your month according to the energies and archetypes that support your journey. Beginning your month after your bleed with inspiration, goal setting, dreaming, building to optimize your ovulation phase, then moving into the transformation phase where you can transform, heal and prepare for the deep let go and dreaming that happens with your cycle... We women have super powers and when we tune into the rythms that nature intended for us we get so much more done in much less time... Creating ample time to rest, replenish, be wild, be soft, snuggle up, seduce our lover, dance in the rain, work on our project, play with our kids, and put our best foot forward...
The point is, the feminine wheel of life is making the transition from doing it on your own, to doing it with life, with the help of the 4 directions, the Goddess, the mOon, the Sun, the Stars, and the wisdom of our bodies!

The Gift Of Easter for Earth Lovers, Christians, Jewish Queens & Pagans
This time of Easter is one of the most powerful portals for Change, Rest, Replenishment and Reflection.
We have just celebrated the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere & Autumn Equinox in the Southern. Both are the celebration of equal light and equal dark, where we find balance within and without.
This time of Easter is one of the most powerful portals for Change, Rest, Replenishment and Reflection.
We have just celebrated the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere & Autumn Equinox in the Southern. Both are the celebration of equal light and equal dark, where we find balance within and without.
What a perfect time to pause this easter weekend, to reflect and to engage in sacred reflection. To recalibrate for the coming season of Autumn or Spring (depending where you are on the globe).
The gift of the seasons is constantly leading us deeper into the nature of the sacred feminine as the wisdom of our Earth Mumma moves through our land, our bodies and our hearts, if we stop, breathe and listen.
Last night I was reflecting on easter season & how beautifully it honours so many religions and beliefs... But you have to zoom out and see it from the view of the observer! Then you will see the gold!
The awareness I am about to share with you got me feeling so connected to a bigger picture of ancient wisdom & I hope it gets you juicy too!
Here we go ladies, grab yourself a cuppa and lets dive in.... Easter Reset Blessings!
Originally, before christianity, easter was the time when the goddess Ishtar was celebrated. She's one of the goddess's of love, sex & fertility. This explains how the rabbits and the eggs made their way into our easter baskets! Ladies of love, this is your time!
In the northern hemisphere the pagans & natives celebrate the coming of spring. It's time to plant new seeds for the coming cycle. Its a bit of a thing for the nature worshipping folk to gather baskets & fill them with bounty & decorated eggs as a symbolism and ritual that our seeds of intentions are being planted in the waking earth. It is a time to celebrate the passing of winter and the cycle of deep sleep and death. With deep gratitude for Creator for a safe and provision filled winter. The balance of dark and light has come and the new beginning of the wheel of life has started spinning!!!!
Yeaaah Haaaaa! Fill up your baskets ladies, its time to celebrate! The bunnies are a symbol of fertility, of the creative energy in our wombs. What is your deepest desire to create this cycle
For those of us who are in the northern hemisphere I encourage you this weekend to fill your metaphorical basket, to create an alter or a sacred space that represents the seeds you are planting for the year ahead. Journal and give thanks for the coming phase in the wheel of the year and write down your intention or manifestatiion list. Dream big sis I give you full permission, listen to your heart and write down anything that comes, no judgement! Then write a list of gratitude for all that has just come to pass, the lessons you have learnt this year so far, the things you have let go of to create more space for the new you to emerge.
Need assistance creating a sacred space? You have always wanted to do it but never known where to start? Access my free course here
In the southern hemisphere we are celebrating the harvest, the passing of summer, the days are finally cooling down bringing rivers of refreshment & a welcome relief for the long steamy hot days. Its a time to celebrate the harvest, the seeds that you planted in Spring, that came to fruit in summer that you are enjoying now. Its time to pause and prepare for the winter, for the time of letting go and allowing all that is ready to die to die. Its time to prepare for the great rest. To rest, to let go so that you can fully embrace Spring when she comes forth again. The winter reflects our bleed, the time when we go within, its time to hibernate, to recharge and replenish. I encourage you to write a gratitude list, a surrender list and a sacred self care list to prepare you for your pause in the cooler months.
Easter is also a time of honouring and giving thanks for Christ Consciousness and the eternal evolution of the soul, for the gift of new beginnings. This beautiful man Jesus is honoured for all that he came to teach, for the gift of his presence that came to share. To be a Sacred Rebel & shake up the dark ages style of religeous piousness that was causing so much suffering (and still does today) ... Most of all He came to bring us back to the heart & to forgiveness.
As we pause this weekend, may it be a time of expanded hearts & offering forgiveness!
Passover is a time of gratitude for Supreme protection, the warmth of family and home and heart. Of devotion and how this drawing close to who ever you call Creator is a profound and deep protection against darkness.
Here we see the Sacred Masculine in Divine protection, forgiveness, courage, selflessness and surrender. Bringing Consciousness to our Creation. Bringing action to our dream.
So now here we are lovelies, some of us in the Northern Hemisphere, about to enter into action that the longer days bring. Some in the Southern about to enter rest that the shorter days bring. Yet all with the light of Father Sun and the provision & creation of Mother Earth guiding our hearts & our womb wisdom. Together this month and this weekend in particular we are all celebrating Sacred Union within. We honour the balance of light and dark, masculine and feminine, planting and harvesting, nurturing and letting go, working and resting.
No matter what you believe in, we can all gather so much wisdom from each others practices, we are one tribe, many beliefs and colours walking the path that is sacred to us. You are sacred to me dear sister! May your easter be truly and deeply blessed....

free new moon ceremonies
Sacred woman you are lunar rhythmic, meaning that you reflect the same phases as Grandmother moon... When we apply our awareness to be mindful of her cycles, we open ourselves up to powerful transformation. Instead of continuing to push and strive and compete we can soften to our true feminine nature... The truth is we are not designed to be on all of the time... Our dreaming happens in the stillness and darkness of the dark moon as she prepares to reNEW, just as we do when we bleed... Then as she moves toward the fullness of her light (Full moon/ovulation time) the energy is up, it is renewed, there is more inspiration and energy available for projects & actualising our dreams. This is why the dark/new moon is such a potent time to set ourselves up for the month ahead and to get to know the rhythms of our feminine bodies more... If this resonates with you here is a gift to get you in the flow with Grandmother moon... Lunar Rhythmic Woman Planner & New Moon Planner that will help you prepare for our ceremony each month.

Discover Your Pleasure
A sister in our tribe opened up about sexual shame... This response came through me for her... I wanted to share with you all as sexual shame can be a dark skeleton in the closet that blocks creativity & liberation... We need more amazing men & women who are completely free to embrace their pleasure with no shame in this world... Sexual Shame suck man! Its so 1950's!!!!

Hi my love... Thank u so much for sharing and being so brave!!!! Yes you are a sexual healer sister... What a gift!
Firstly I would like to give you permission to take all wrongness away from your ability or inability to 'orgasm'... Society places so much glory around the big O... Yes its wonderful to experience, but there is nothing wrong with you if you don't, or if you cant right now... Its not the be all and end all...
I see a gift and an opportunity here...
The opportunity to crack open all preconceived ideas and social pressures about how the act of sex should look, how it should end...
I hear a yearning deep within you to connect with your own pleasure... This is the yearning of the Goddess to meet with you... To greet you where you are at... To bring to the light of awareness everything that is holding you back from experiencing the expansion and potency of your being... To experience the power and potency of your unique sexual expression... And to experience the power and potency of creation herself through your sexual energy...
What if pleasure had no limit? What if it didn't LOOK like anything in particular... ? If you had no preconceived ideas about the way it SHOULD look, how would you greet your body? When would you touch her? Where would you touch her? When? How does SHE want to be touched?
Create a clear intention e.g I am a multidimensional self fullfilling pleasure warrior (teeeheee that was mine for a while, it changes, but that was a powerful permission to give myself a few years back, because of that I now have no shame in calling myself a sacred slut!! I'm claiming it, where others made me wrong and I allowed them to I no longer feel shame about the potency of my sexual energy, my history or my desires but thats another thread all together!)
You are correct in saying the healing must occur within before you share this sacred offering w others... So... I encourage you dear sister to unravel your own pleasure first by asking yourself the questions asked above... Write them down, then journal... Then take action... Start with your clear intention for your pleasure practice... Then begin to respond to your bodies yearning, how she said she wants to be touched, how you would like to touch her... Bring union in through the breath...
Notice there is a difference between intent and intense, let this come from the softness and expansion of your intent... Be the observer as you caress your body, as you indulge your pleasure...
Ask the question when resistance comes up 'who does this belong to?' ... Then thank your mind for sharing and come back to your pleasure practice... Come back to your intention for your practice...
You might feel comfortable to just stroke your belly and massage your breasts and gently tickle your yoni... Take all of the need to orgasm away... Simply be with your pleasure... It could be as simple as rubbing coconut on your body in the sun?...
Pleasure when indulged in lightness, expands, the tickle becomes a deeper exploration, it becomes an opportunity to experience your universal Self, to experience the Goddess within... It becomes a potent portal of manifestation, for self love, self nurture, therefore abundance...
Pleasure when indulged in wrongness with a bunch of 'should's and shouldn't's), we contract, the tickle becomes a playground for the mind to run off with a bunch of stories and shame and wrongness...
So I encourage you to find your pleasure today, to dive into the lightness, play and expansion that the experience of pleasure brings you... To release all wrongness about wether or not you can orgasm, fuck that off for a while and just be there with your sacred beautiful Self, the breath, and the primal force of Shakti, the Goddess alluring you into the temple of the ancient and glorious feminine essence... The temple of creation herself xxxxxx love u... Go gently my love
F*#cK obligation... Be inspired instead?
Hearing the voice of our soul can be tricky when we have been listening to the louder voice of the world dictating a long list of SHOULD'S. So its important to be patient with yourself, start small, as suggested below. The still soft voice of the you inside your body is constantly there in sanctuary within. Through meditation the relaxation and my intentional guidance will lead you deeper into the sacred sanctuary of self. Hearing the voice of your inner woman will lead you to your truth. Then you can begin to take steps towards your inspired actions that will in turn lead you back to your purpose...
Align with the inspiration your soul is yearning for!
Add up 2016 and you get 9, 9 is the number of completion, we have the opportunity to wipe the slate clean and re-create our way of relating with the world around us.
I don't know about you, but this excites me no end! Being a cosmic adventurer who loves to expand my experience of the world I am constantly looking for new ways to radify my life. I hope you find this post inspiring, and most of all that it gives you permission to start living to the beat of your own drum. You are the artist and your life is the canvass, its time to pain with the brushes and colours that you choose! First I would like to share a little about the significance of this year 2016 being a 9 year, then I will share with you ways that you can make the changes your yearning for by understanding how unique you are and how much the world needs you to be who you are as you are!
The number 1 marks the beginning of a cycle, journey or intention to manifest. Number 9 marks completion. Within the cycle from 1 to 9 we go through the process of releasing, purging and letting go of attachments, contracts, soul ties, beliefs & old patterns so that we can be fully aligned and united with what our soul came here to experience, be & emit. Sound familiar? Perhaps you have been going through these waves of purging and releasing out on the sea's of life's crazy ocean wondering what the hell is happening? Well my beloved family, you have been primed and prepared for the new beginning that is coming. 2016 is a 9 year which means completion. 2017 is a 1 year which is a new beginning! Yeeeow! So lets use this year to shift gears and prepare ourselves for the new beginnings that are just around the corner.
Under the influence of 9 your soul has the opportunity to transform the memories & experiences that no longer serve you so that you as a being can rise in consciousness and fully embody the new frequencies that are available to us all right now… A new way of being, that is so much easier, clearer, fun, playful, expansive and loving? Yeah baby bring that goodness on!!!
Alignment with our Soul Nature is our mission for 2016…
A few years ago I was listening to the sounds of the planets on a NASA you tube vid, it brought me to my knee’s in reverence, it was a profound moment that changed my life! See we too have a song, the song in our soul, the frequency of light that is you inside your body. Your song is different to my song yet together we create a harmony that can be heard when listening to the song of earth from space…
The song of earth contains the song/frequency of every living being on this planet and it is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! You can listen for yourself!
So my beloved tribe, just like the planets, you too are here to emit your soul song! This is your purpose, you are not defined by what you do, thats upside down miss jane. You are defined by who you are! By the frequency that you emit.... When we respond to life from WHO we are, our actions come from a place of inspiration rather than obligation & they will naturally echo our purpose.... You will not find your purpose anywhere other than in relationship with yourself, which is why I'm writing this post. Obligation is what we do, because we should, inspiration is how we feel, and then we organically act in accordance with the feel good vibe you've got beaming out of your heart!
We all have preconditioning that tells us what we SHOULD be doing (obligation), but what is it that you WANT to do (inspiration)? What is your soul asking for you to do? Sun bake? Dance in the rain? Sing on the top of a mountain? Do a strip tease in the kitchen? Wear no undies on Mondays hehehe no-undie-mundy! Go to the library? Tie yourself to a tree in protection of the earth? Lie on the grass and listen to the bee’s hum? Start the business you have been wanting to start? Take a walk on the wild side? Do what ever connects YOU with your soul frequency and fuck everything else!!!
So how exactly do I make the jump from living the daily grind of obligation and what I should do, to fuck everything I’m aligning with my soul frequency and living an inspired lifestyle?
First by giving you permission to be all that you are exactly the way you are right now. By giving yourself permission to let the wild woman/man inside you to roaaaarrrr into the wind and let her/his voice be herd, to take her stance in the world for the woman she is yearning to be, to become and to express....
I have prepared a mind fullness exercise to begin this process for you, 5 steps to begin making the shift from obligation to inspiration. As well as a free meditation for you to do in your own time.
Hearing the voice of our soul can be tricky when we have been listening to the louder voice of the world dictating a long list of SHOULD'S. So its important to be patient with yourself, start small, as suggested below. The still soft voice of the you inside your body is constantly there in sanctuary within. Through meditation the relaxation and my intentional guidance will lead you deeper into the sacred sanctuary of self. Hearing the voice of your inner woman will lead you to your truth. Then you can begin to take steps towards your inspired actions that will in turn lead you back to your purpose... Get it here
Can I invite you to take a moment to feel into the you inside your body…….. Travel beyond your skin, your looks, your image, who's daughter you are or are not, go within to the person you are on the inside.... This person who is energy, life, the soul of your you ness...... Breathe into your essence ....
Now feel the journey your beautiful soul has experienced in this lifetime.
The memories, loves, triumphs, fears, failures, awe, wonder, distaste, hate, greed, manipulation, trust, magic, devotion, belief, disbelief, the sorrows, the happiness, the lessons, the people you have encountered, remembered, met for the first time, the kiss of nature, the warmth of the fire, the taste of food, the connections that ignite us on these pathways that lead us to where we stand now… All of these things creating the beautiful sacred mandala you are now standing in, this mandala that your feet have carved in the sands of time.
I bow in reverence before your soul,in her shadows and her light (if your a man reading this, I bow in reverence before your soul in his shadows and his light). I bow in reverence for the gift of your soul song. I am blessed to sing in harmony with you, as we remember that we are one song with many frequencies.
Breathe that in
You are weaving a sacred mandala as you walk
The you inside your body is calling you home… To be fully awake and aware of your essence…
Now is the time to harvest the gold you have in your hands from your souls journey thus far, to connect with your purpose, which we have discovered is to connect and align with your souls frequency. Now is the time to take action, to let go, to tie up loose ends and wipe the slate clean… You have amazing offerings to share with the world my sisters…
Here are 5 steps to begin making the shift from obligation to inspiration
SMALL THINGS…. ADD SMALL THINGS INTO YOUR DAY, EVERY DAY, THAT CONNECT YOU WITH THE ESSENCE OF YOU

This consciousness shifting business doesn’t need to be hard, sometimes it is, lets keep it real… However, it can be so much better when we share it with our tribe, our sisters & amazing brothers, the whole point is you don't have to do this alone…
As a collective we are shifting into a new paradigm, a new way of being… This week I was reading an article by Jafree Oswald…
Jafree writes “Not many people on Earth know this, yet on December 21st 2012, all the planets in our solar system were perfectly aligned with each other in one straight row. If you don't believe it, download the google skymap and see where they are right now (still in a straight row)”.
For the first time, our Earth, Moon, all 9 planets in our solar system, our Sun and the Pleiades constellation (which is the star system that our Sun orbits) ALL came into direct perfect alignment with the massive black hole that exists at the very center of our Milky Way Galaxy. Wow, talk about a special time to be alive on the planet. The really amazing fact is that this perfect alignment only happens once every 200+ million years!
Wait …. What? once every 200+ million years?!!!!!
Now I don't know about you but something really clicked for me here. We are in a 9 year of completion, with portals and solar flares and all kinds of amazing planetary shifts going on to assist us. Thats a whole lot of slate cleaning going on!
We are so supported for change right now!!! Lets make the most of it... Our world depends upon us rising to our highest frequency, so that mass consciousness changes...
Come on over and share your journey with us in the Facebook Group, we post daily to inspire, uplift, inform, support and have fun...
All it takes is small actions to inspire lasting change and a lifestyle that you have created just for you, your way!
So much love

999 Completion and Inspiration to connect to your purpose!
We are so supported for change right now, we have Virgo who is the celebration of the feminine in all of her aspects, Virgo shows us how to use our gifts, connect to our ‘soul purpose’ and to take actions that bring that into the world… Virgo is also the energy of the earth empress/earth mother Demeter, the Goddess of the harvest… Chiron is associated with Virgo, the wounded healer, this is more than perfect because Chiron assists us to transform our victim state into a state of service, to offer healing from our experiences of pain…
Yesterday marked the first 9.9.9 day of September, we have 3 this month. On the 9th, 18th & 27th of September 2016. Add up 2016 and you get 9, 9 is the number of completion, we wipe the slate clean and re-unite with the essence of our souls! Exciting!
The number 1 marks the beginning of a cycle, journey or intention to manifest. Number 9 marks completion. Within the cycle from 1 to 9 we go through the process of releasing, purging and letting go of attachments, contracts, soul ties, beliefs & old patterns so that we can be fully aligned and united with what our soul came here to experience, be & emit.
Alignment with our Soul Nature is our mission for 2016…
Take a moment to feel into the you inside your body……..
Now feel the journey your beautiful soul has experienced in this lifetime……
The experiences, memories, loves, triumphs, fears, failures, awe, wonder, distaste, hate, greed, manipulation, trust, magic, devotion, belief, disbelief, the sorrows, the happiness, the lessons, the people you have encountered, remembered, met for the first time, the kiss of nature, the warmth of the fire, the taste of food, the connections that ignite us on these pathways that lead us to where we stand now… All of these things creating the beautiful sacred mandala you are now standing in, this mandala that your feet have carved in the sands of time………
Breathe that in………
You are weaving a sacred mandala as you walk……………

I bow in reverence before your soul, in her shadows and her light (if your a man reading this, I bow in reverence before your soul in his shadows and his light). I bow in reverence for the gift of your soul song. I am blessed to sing in harmony with you, as we remember that we are one song with many frequencies.
A few years ago I was listening to the sounds of the planets on a NASA you tube vid, it brought me to my knee’s in reverence, it was a profound moment that changed my life! See we too have a song, the song in our soul, the frequency of light that is the you inside your body. Your song is different to my song yet together we create a harmony that can be heard when listening to the song of earth from space… The song of earth contains the song/frequency of every living being on this planet and it is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
So my beloved family, you are here to emit your soul song! Your unique frequency, this is your purpose, you are not defined by what you do, thats upside down miss jane (Mr Squiggle).
Emit your frequency, then from the inspiration of your soul, your inspired actions will echo your purpose. So go and sun bake, dance in the rain, sing on the top of a mountain, do a strip teaze in the kitchen, wear no undies on mondays hehehe noundiemondi, go to the library, tie yourself to a tree in protection of the earth, lie on the grass and listen to the bee’s hum, do what ever connects YOU with your soul frequency and fuck everything else!!!
Under the influence of 9 our soul has the opportunity to transform the memories & experiences that no longer serve you so that you as a being can rise in consciousness and fully embody the new frequencies that are available to us all right now… A new way of being, that is so much easier, clearer, fun, playful, expansive and loving? Yeah baby bring that goodness on!!!
The you inside your body is calling you home… To be fully awake and aware of your essence…
So how exactly do I make the jump from living the daily grind, to fuck everything I’m aligning with my soul frequency? Well I’m glad you asked… At the end of this post I have 5 steps to begin making the shift from obligation to inspiration plus a bunch of free goodies I would love to share with you, but I have something important to share with you about September and what we are in for this month so please keep reading…

The point is this….
Now is the time to harvest the gold you have in your hands from your souls journey thus far, to connect with your purpose, which we have discovered is to connect and align with your souls frequency.

Planning for success The Feminine Way
There are so many "just do it campaigns out there", which are awesome if your the kind of person who responds well to this type of motivation. But what about the sensitive people of the world who don't respond well to this kind of motivation?
Every month the moon goes through 4 phases, she is dark/new, she waxes, she is full, she wanes and then she is dark/new again. Our feminine bodies are lunar rhythmic, which means, we mirror the cycles of the moon. Every month we go through 4 phases, menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation and the luteal phase, then we menstruate again. Each of these 4 phases also reflect the 4 main phases of a woman's life, we go through maiden, mother, maga(menopause), crone.
In this post we are going to discover how these 4 phases can propel us into maximum productivity to create more and have more time and space to be with our feminine nature instead of pushing the envelope to the point of burn out (left brain living is on the way out sisters, no need to strive to survive, we are creatresses who create with the essential nature of our womban hood!)
But First a little history for you
When women lived in tribe and were not exposed to unnatural lighting and expected to push and strive like men, we bled with the moon, when the moon was new. At the beginning of the cycle, as the moon went from dark to new, from the end of the old to the new cycle. All of the women in the tribe would go into dream time together, they would celebrate, do ceremony, cry, laugh, pray, nurture, pamper and nourish each other. The men would wait with anticipation for the wisdom that their women folk would bring back for the tribe when they returned. The feminine were celebrated for their menstrual wisdom & feared (respected) for the power that they contained. Which is why it makes sense that the church banned women who were bleeding from attending & why the man folk of the 1800's decided to take away our sacred womens business by making it illegal for midwife's to practice without a male doctor present.... They took away our power because they feared it... Too much power baby!!!
Guess what? The ancient wisdom is back, and now is the time for us to embrace the wisdom and the power of our cycle again!!!! Are you ready?
Side note: If you are not bleeding at the new moon at the moment, there is nothing wrong with you, a lot of hype is going around about us being out of sync if we are not bleeding on the new moon. I'm here to crack that open and give you permission to celebrate your cycle, just as you do the moon phases. We live in a very different society today and we are in a very different place in the evolution of humanity compared to our ancestors. Which means we all bleed at different times, times that are perfect for us personally, times that are aligned with the wisdom grandmother moon is desiring to illuminate in us for our personal and spiritual growth. In my ancient wisdom modern woman program we dive into these mysteries further, today we are looking at the basics to introduce you to the phases and your magic!
You will see in the diagram above on the outside edge each archetype and the direction (medicine wheel wisdom) connected to her. In tomorrow's class I will talk more about the medicine wheel, which is the reason I have included the 4 directions in this chart.
You will also notice on the inside of the chart are the 4 phases of our cycle. Phase 1 (menstruation), Phase 2 (follicular), Phase 3 (ovulation), Phase 4 (luteal). This chart is different to a lot of womens wisdom and has been shown to me for a reason. Our bodies reflect the cycles of the moon. Every month, the moon is dark before she is new, this is one of the most important keys to feminine wisdom. We bleed before we enter the new, therefore phase 1 needs to begin midway in our crone/wise woman phase, because we bleed and then we enter the new energy of the maiden! And we are premenstrual and crumpy like a crone just before. (Sometimes, not all women are the same)
Ancient Wisdom Of The Cycles
1. Crone/Wise Woman ...
We experience the archetype of the wise woman once a month for a reason. She takes us into the realms of our inner knowing, holds up the lantern of truth to guide us through our shadows & gives us the wisdom we need for the month ahead. This occurs from half way through the luteal phase (around day 25) & continues throughout the whole of our menstruation phase. During this 7-9 day cycle we enter into deep rest and replenishment. This is when our energy is at its lowest, like the DARK MOON (new moon) and the season of winter. We are releasing all of the old that was not needed and making space for the new. It's the 'Beginning' of the coming phase, from the depths of this rest, release & let go we are gifted with the vision to 'see' our lives from a new prospective. With the lantern of truth illuminating everything that works, and everything that no longer works for us.
Take note that we begin with resting, the energy is at it's lowest so we need to prepare for this time by scheduling less into our diaries and engaging in nurturing supportive activities that tap us into the sensitivities that are guiding us home. This is the time when we let go of what was not needed in the previous month. Its happening both physically as our body bleeds the unfertilised egg out. Its happening emotionally as we bleed and let go of what is not serving us, we shed the layers that have been holding us back. And we experience birthing pains, birthing into the fertile soil of our subconscious mind as we enter dream time & dream our deepest desires into being. This is POWERFUL sisters! Your inner wise woman, the dark wild goddess, is powerful beyond belief. She has your back, she will not allow you to ignore your inner truth......... You my darling are not crazy, hyper sensitive, mentally unbalanced, hormonal.... You are wisdom herself, and she is calling you home, to your truth. Our bodies are the key to unlocking our wisdom & our truth. The truth will set you freeeeee!!!
When we create space in our calender & utilise our hyper sensitivity during our wise woman phase this becomes the most profound time of the month to dream into the month, year, ahead. With the same sanctity we approach the new moon, we can approach our menstrual phase, as it sets us up for the month ahead.
If we prepare in advanced so that our lifestyle support this deep rest & replenishment you will find your weeks and month flow with so much more ease.
It's a good idea to plan ahead think about taking into your wise woman cave your fave foods that nourish you, then choose healthy versions of your comfort foods (e.g cocao, coconut oil, shredded coconut, dried fruit 7& nuts, tahini, and a dash of agave or honey if you are a massive sweet tooth is an EXCELLENT chocolate substitute). Have your meditation on your phone, buy a journal, create a play list on sound cloud or you tube, have a great book, write a list of what you would like to bring with you into your womb cave. What exercise is REALISTIC? Running for 1 hour when your bleeding is not really supportive, but a yin/restorative yoga class is! Or dancing your sensual body around to some soft sexy alluring middle eastern tunes is!
2. Maiden ...
We move out of the depths of replenishment feeling 'fresh' revitalised and refocused! We enter the follicular phase when our body starts being flooded with nest building hormones. The uterine wall starts creating a nest for life (sperm). We feel awesome as our bodies begin to move towards ovulation. This is the energy of the WAXING MOON, we are inspired, we have been replenished, the seeds of our dreamtime are planted in the fertile soil of this Spring energy, this is the best time to start new projects and create a new approach to the way you do things. To begin our Self Care Inspired Actions! Working with the archetype of Aphrodite during this phase is amazing, she is so sensuous, alive and magnetic!
Start new regimes, initiate new cycle focus with inspired actions, make dates, go shopping, take singing lessons, utilise this amazing fresh energy to invoke how you would like to interact with the coming cycle...
3. Mother ...
We then enter into the Mother phase 'Pregnancy/Birthing/Nurturing', we are 'pregnant' with our desires, idea's and dreams. We are ovulating. For a lot of women this is manifest as the Earth Empress in all of her glory! Your business idea's will be flowing. Your body is craving a baby (maybe tricking you, be aware of the hormone's influencing you at this time). We become total SQUISH!!!! Love bombs on legs!!!
This is the energy of the FULL MOON & summer, where we naturally want to go out and frolick in life. We feel connected to nature and are celebrating the amazing fruit that is showing up in our life. Our bodies are flooded with hormones and we feel amazing, on fire and able to do so much more than we were able just 14 days ago.
Plan your "peak activities" for the month during the mother/ovulation phase . This is prime time for business activities that need more energy. For getting into your garden and doing the hard yaka, or plan the hard work stuff you've been putting off for this week. Remember to plan to celebrate, socialise... If your holding a party, plan it on the full moon, or when you are ovulating.
4. Maga ...
In our Sacred Women Tribe we refer to this time as "Medicine Woman/Queen". This is the energy of the WANING MOON, Autumn. It mirrors our premenstrual phase/menopausal phase. This is the time when the leaves begin falling back to the earth, the harvest is being reaped from the seasons past & we are preparing for the next season/phase and we become 'extra sensitive', go into the deep rest of winter and the wise woman.
The sensitivities we experience during this time are chemical. We have entered the luteal phase, our body has registered that she has not received sperm and the hormones are leaving the nest so to speak. The sensitivities we feel during this time can become our greatest gift if we know how to use them. This is why we work with the "medicine woman and our queen". Your medicine woman knows what she needs, and your queen knows what she wants, like's and doesn't want. She is the ruler of your inner kingdom after all, so get to know her well.
This is the best time to go and see a healer, meditate more, listen to your inner queen, here is a meditation for you (if you don't already have it). Take the seat on the throne of your inner kingdom and come from a place of inner mastery. Connect with the medicine woman within who knows how to guide you and lead you towards the healing you are yearning for.
Use the whole month to prepare for this time, this is when most women fall off the bus! This is the time when we can see clearly what is not working, we are being invited to release the clutter in our subconscious minds, to prepare for the new beginning that comes after our bleed.
I can hear you all breathing a sigh of relief..... Yesssss you are normal! You don't need to fit into a rigid structure, in fact {{ subscriber.first_name }} your not meant to, you are here in this feminine body to utilise these incredible energies and flow with the cycles of your body and Grandmother moon. Each sacred cycle we have the opportunity to begin again, each bleed is a new beginning.
Putting this all into practice
So how does this apply to a productive life?...
Inspired actions vs business of activity lead to a full filling lifestyle. We have more time and space for the things that truly fill our cup, when we have a full cup we create our dreams effortlessly. We engage in actions that are inspired by our values which leads to more conscious participation and self care.
When life is our art it becomes our most spiritual practice.
Your life is your spiritual practice.
In my free Discover you magic course we cover this subject in lesson 4. I have created a workbook to help you to plan your month ahead according to each phase with each of these 4 categories. You can fill it all out on your device, no printing required! Get it here
1. Leasure Rest and Healing
2. Inspired Actions
3. Awareness Practices
4. To Do's.
Time Management Tips
- Begin your planning with your leisure and rest & healing activities
- Next plan your inspired actions list including your sacred self care rituals that support each phase of your cycle
- Prepare your awareness practices, book your massage for the month, go and see a healer, tune into a circle (ask us about our circles). Journal, journal, journal. Meditate (you can use your inner woman meditation). I have prepared a list of suggestions in your workbook here.
- Your To Do's List. This is the list of things that need to get done, but not in a push push way! In a feminine way, by assigning the activities that need to be done to the appropriate energies for your cycle... Planning our month in advanced so we can fully utilise the powerful time of our medicine woman and crone phase.
Remember that you are perfect the way you are, the art of inspired living is about changing our approach to activities so that we come from a place of inspiration rather than the pesky monkey on our shoulder telling us what we SHOULD be doing... It saves us from burnout when we get to our bleed and cant rest because we havn't allowed space for ourselves... We are engaging in life in a right brained, feminine, creative way that ultimately leads to POWERFUL manifestation and radical self love... This is how we discover our magic!
