“This takes conscious effort, but if you’re already slipping into the vibes and feeling of lack and scarcity, and the inner panic that comes with it, then not only will you find yourself willing to do almost anything to shift it, you are actually really well-positioned to do so.” ⬇️

In my work as a coach and in my personal life as an energetically-sensitive being who can’t help but recognize patterns and attach higher meanings to them in the name of easier navigating (it’s a blessing and a curse), the pattern I see right now is that we’re in a period of time where a lot of our old stuff is getting triggered, coming up in a persistent way that’s hard to ignore.

And there’s a reason for it.

I created an audio ⬇️ describing what’s happening “out there” that’s influencing how you’re feeling and what’s occurring in your life, and how to work with it. (about 38 min - consider it a podcast 🙂)

I’ve titled it “3 Cosmic Reasons Why All Your Old Stuff is Getting Triggered Right Now” - because from my observation and study, there appears to be 3 very specific and very purposeful energetic influences running the show these past few weeks especially that are behind…

~ the middle of the night wake-ups lately where you can’t fall back asleep because you’re gripped in fear and anxiety…

~ the unusual pile-up of challenges, difficulty, and problems to solve

~ the higher than usual levels of emotional intensity, reactivity and irritability, or feeling the whiplash of feeling fine one moment and crashing the next

~ a deep pull inward, a desire to hermit or even numb out

~ financial pressure, relationship, family or health issues popping up to levels that feel unbearable…

To name a few.

Give it a listen, see what resonates - what message wants to reach you about it all. And I’d love to hear what comes up for you or any ah-ha’s you have, hit the reply button and share with me. ❤

And hang in there, this heightened period has an end date (you’ll have to listen to find out when that is though).

Some Sunday reading & contemplation for you ✨📖

If you’ve been feeling the squeeze, heaviness and intensity in your life or life in general coming to a crescendo in some way these last couple of weeks, it’s a signal something bigger is occurring that you might want to pay attention to - and there’s a way to navigate it from Alignment. 💖

If you consider yourself to be more energetically-sensitive, you may be able to sense the quiet shift that just occurred on the Solstice two days ago. It’s soft, it’s subtle even at this point, yet when you slow down and tune in, it’s unmistakable.

I believe one of the invitations of this particular turning point is to remember that we can always access the light: we have it within us to simply tune into it, as well as transform any hard or challenging experience into something good, something useful, something that contributes to the fullness of our human experience instead something that we’d just settle on as struggle or even bad luck.

✨Truly understanding and actively practicing this becomes a turning point not just in the year or season, but in your life.✨

It’s the turning point that shifts lack and scarcity to gratitude and abundance…human uncertainty into Divine certainty…self-doubt and fear into trust and calm confidence.

Not overnight, but over time - and with practice.

I’m going to walk participants through a powerful start to this process this Thursday, June 25th at 11:30am CST in my “Letting in the Light” workshop, and it’s not too late for you to join us - though today is the last day to register for it. ⬇️

Would love to have you there. 💕

The Summer Solstice is symbolic of the celebration of moving from the season of greatest darkness into the season of greatest light. 🌞

Our conscious journey reflects this every year, too. By the time summer hits most of us feel relief and expansion - even when life is still challenging - simply because everything feels better when it’s light out longer and the weather is nicer. I’ve observed this to be especially true for sensitive types.

The Solstice also gives us the opportunity to reflect on and truly see who we’ve become during the period of time, and how the darkness (aka shadow work) has helped shape who we are now, who we’ve become.

And after the Solstice? That’s the time to take what you’ve integrated forward as embodied wisdom, and intentionally co-create the second half of the year to the best of your ability, expanding in your capacity to grow and receive from blessings instead of challenge and contrast alone.

And know exactly what to do when the hard stuff, the curve balls, the triggers hit - because those will always be a part of the game - but the answer is never to push harder.

It’s learning how to create movement by working consciously with light, energy, embodiment, and the resistance that naturally appears whenever we’re growing.

Next week after the Summer Solstice, I’m offering a special live workshop focused on helping you reconnect with your light, move through what’s keeping you stuck, and create meaningful momentum in your life. Info ⬇️ and early registration pricing ends Sunday night, so take advantage if this is speaking to you. ✨

A little energetic hygiene goes a long way…

On Tuesday I spent an entire day at a retreat center 45 minutes from where I live, with the intention of re-setting and recharging my energy in a quiet, soothing, nature-based environment while also getting some writing done without distraction. 📒🖊️

As someone who runs her own business and works from home, I try to do stuff like this as often as I can, and I’ve been wanting to check out this place for a while now.

One of the ways I cleanse and recharge my energy is through solitude, and although I knew the place wouldn’t be busy on a Tuesday during daytime hours, I didn’t expect to have the whole place to myself - score! Aside from the owner, it was just me due to some cancellations, and she gave me free rein to soak it all in, and that I did. 🧘🏻‍♀️

*I highly recommend Lake Osceola Retreat Center in Osceola, WI! It’s gorgeous, peaceful, tucked away, and Elham will take excellent care of you.
**And if you haven’t yet checked out my free gift, “Alignment for Sensitives: 5 Gentle Practices to Feel More Clear, Grounded & Steady in Everyday Life” you can access it through the link in my bio. Audio 3 speaks to “energetic hygiene” as a practice - super important for sensitive types.

That evolutionary journey definitely has its challenges - and there’s a way to work with them so that you turn the challenge, the discomfort, the “what the hell is this and why do I feel this way” into something purposeful and beautiful.

✨But most importantly, there’s a way to exist peacefully as you, your sensitivity, and the world around you expands and evolves.✨

If you find yourself yearning for more of that inner peace, sense of stability and grounding in the face of so much noise, stimulation, and a faster pace than we were designed for…if you deeply desire to come to yourself more fully, to begin to trust your senses and intuition again (or perhaps for the first time), I created this for you:

“Alignment for Sensitives: 5 Gentle Practices to Feel More Clear, Grounded & Steady in Everyday Life”

✨ 5 short audios that speak the language of being energetically-sensitive, guiding you to a more empowered place with your own sensitivity (10 min or less)
✨ A pdf guide to help keep you conscious and consistent
✨ Relief as soon as you begin, and designed for integration, deepening and embodiment no matter where you’re at on your path

It’s free and you can get your access ⬇️. 💐

Heads up! 💫

I just created a brand new and free audio series for my fellow energetically-sensitive people out there who are finding it difficult to find and maintain a sense of grounding, inner peace and Alignment these days.

It’s called “Alignment for Sensitives: 5 Gentle Practices to Feel More Clear, Grounded & Steady in Everyday Life” and you can get it ⬇️.

✨ I made it short and easy to not only finish (we love that feeling when it actually happens, right?) but integrate over time, in a way that feels soothing and supportive rather than rigid.

✨ Each of the 5 audios is 10 minutes or less, and there’s a simple reflection pdf with prompts to keep you conscious and take your ah-ha’s and the most resonant parts forward.

✨It was created in recognition that us sensitive types only seem to be getting more sensitive as the world only seems to be getting louder, noisier and more overwhelming - we need support adapting in the evolution of it all so we don’t feel swallowed up in it.

Sensitivity is a gift, and sensitives are here to play an important role - and we don’t need to suffer in that. You get to be supported, you get to receive, you get to thrive. 🌺

Get your access below, and I’d love to hear how it helps you! 🌟

Not enough of us recognize the power and impact of our emotions in not only our day-to-day lives, but in our world as a whole. Be someone who does, and tend to yours - for you and for all of us. 💕

This may have been one of my favorite conversations I’ve had on the topic - Catherine Graham: Compassion with Catherine and I outline very specific and accessible ways to be present and conscious with your energy during turbulent times in such a way that not only helps you avoid collapsing beneath the weight of it all but also to harness and focus it for the greater good of all…without bypassing your human self. 💜

If you haven’t watched yet, I encourage you to do so and experiment with some of these things yourself.
