light bliss

Apprenticing to the Fragrance of Peace and Calming

The richness of waiting

The succulence of it

The full surrender to pause

Allowing it’s pregnancy

The strain of allowing ease

The stretch of letting go

Peace and Calming has much to teach me.

 

Her aroma entrains my cells to wait, wait, wait

My heart beats slower

A languid glub-glub-glub

Like honey.

 

Her frequency tones

Tangerine, Orange, Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, Blue Tansy

A rainbow of patience

She is my teacher

In cohoots with her sister Kauai

To slow me down.

Feminine Power Week 7 Exercise: Activating Our Leadership to Create Our Brightest Future

Week 7 of the Feminine Power Course has been amazing! This segment was all about how to activate your leadership to create our brightest future. The emphasis of this segment was to stop using external excuses for not being the woman of our greatest vision and highest potential. There was encouragement to COMMIT to living as our future self now, playing the biggest game we can in service to the evolution and flourishing of the whole.

I loved the reminder that uncertainty is normal and healthy when doing something that has never been done. I also loved the reminder that growth requires the ability to tolerate imperfection. Finally, the idea that we NEED others in co-creative partnership to fully manifest our greatest visions. Such profound life lessons for expansion!

I received encouragement to be more vulnerable and cultivate the ability to be in partnership instead of being alone. I realized that I want to create a forcefield of open invitation around me to welcome in opportunities, collaborations and alliances of co-creation. I realized I want to commit to all the inner changes I need to make to magnetize ecstatic partnerships with luminous visionaries who up-level my capacity to love, imagine and take action. I desire to create structures in my life congruent with the future self I want to start living now!

I need to commit with ferocious tenacity to living in these new ways, even if they are extremely uncomfortable, foreign and misunderstood by those around me. I am really getting that I need to take an unshakeable stand on behalf of how I a seek to move the culture of humanity forward. As a pioneer of something that does not yet exist, I choose to self generate my own momentum and validation to move myself forward upon this path. 

A power statement that names the new sense of self I want to share is...

I AM the generative force of the universe and I am on the planet to create the full flourishing of life everywhere I go!

Anchored in this power center, the new ways I am showing up for life are...

~ I begin taking bigger risks extending myself to more people I admire, yet for some reason believe are "inaccessible" or "in a league above me",  cultivating curiosity about what possibilities exist for our co-creativity

~ I follow through on creative impulses I have in just a few days, instead of just writing them down and waiting for "one day when..."

~ I apply for bigger opportunities to present/facilitate which are on the edge of extreme discomfort for me because they are so new. I let my passion to serve the ripe blossoming of the whole motivate me to persevere, despite hesitation.

~ I look for ways to leave those I interact with feeling more radiant, enlivened and presenced when I leave

~  If I desire something, I take the initiative by virtue of my thriving essence and I initiate it. It is my nature to be an initiator, the same way it is the nature of the sun to shine. I am the creative force of the Universe! I AM.

Identify the fears that have been preventing you from creating co-creative partnerships...

My fears are that I will be the one ending up doing all the work and that no one would work as hard as me anyways, so why partner with another person. Then, once I am entangled with someone else in a relationship which isn't working, I fear that I will not have the ability to communicate my disappointment in their performance and need for them to step it up, and will bottle up my emotions and not know how to exit the relationship in a healthy and loving way.

I need to grow myself to be liberated from this fear, so I can collaborate well with others, by...

I create clear contracts and agreements which invite a deeper level of co-commitment from both of us. I take personal responsibility to create a sense of safety and peace of mind  by being the initiator of discussions. I learn to communicate more transparently, authentically and immediately when feeling discomfort. I learn to tolerate the anxiety of things being done at a different pace if they are not mine to do. I realize that partnership can gift deeply enriching gems of insight and experience which would be impossible to generate alone. 

 I have such a feeling of quickening around the importance of this training! I'm excited to see who I continue to evolve into...

Love,

 

Feminine Power Week 6 Exercise: Creating the Future of My Life

In Week 6 of the Feminine Power course, I was asked to connect with my future self as a lighthouse of inspiration and guidance in living my life forward now, as if already my future self. I was encouraged to recognize that there is always a GAP between my personal vision of my greatest potential and the actual day and time when I am actually living my full potential in the world. This week was all about closing the gap.

For example, the course teachers, Claire and Katherine, were just teaching 6 students a week but had the vision of teaching many thousands. There wasn't a day when 70,000 students showed up on their doorstep asking to be taught. They invested years teaching just 6-12 people to develop the profound skills of leadership and philosophy capable of serving tens of thousands of women. It took years for the gap to close between their vision and actually living it, but  their "meantime" was invested with absolute focus.

Below are some fun exercises I completed. I had to connect with my future self in terms of who I am, how others relate to me, and how life relates to me. I also had to write about what steps I have to take right now to cultivate the skills I need in the future. Finally, I had to name the support I  need to create for myself along the way... I love this class!

My future self is...

~ i am an ambassador of love, a visible leader who leads with heart, teaching millions 

~ i am a conduit of love-beauty-joy and I shine with inner radiance and vitality

~ i am a delicious goddess saturated by the power of the cosmos which freely flows through me

~ i am making love to life in yearning, giving, and receiving into fullness

~ life has a overflow of support to help me give forth my deepest creative talents and intuitive ideas

~ life is a delicious dance of delight, where the yum of creativity pours forth from me and is lovingly savored by those around me

~ life is fully lavishing me with everything i need to express the deepest possibilities and talents of my being

~ others seek out my wisdom to embody their highest qualities and greatest potentials

~ others cherish what I have to offer and generously enrich my life in return

~ others allow me to fully embody my deepest creativity and my own greatest potential

~ i am an extraordinary facilitator, unleashing deep love from within others and assisting them in having life-changing experiences

~ i am open-hearted, transparent, confident and receptive to all positive opportunities and relationships

~ i am experiencing more pleasure and love on a daily basis than I ever believed possible

~ i am nestled in safety and security and all my needs are beyond met in return for my loving overflow

I need the following skills/structures/capacities to bring forth the gifts I have to offer...

inner development

~ cultivate the confidence to say "no" to experiences, people and things which do not inspire my greatness

~habituate myself to say "yes" to new experiences and choices which support my creative flourishing and radiance

~ enhance my own self-image so I see myself as a woman capable and worthy of teaching millions of people directly or indirectly and thousands at once

~ deepen my own openness to life by embodying the divine feminine at an even deeper level, including softening, nurturing, receptivity, wildness, sensuality, and flow

~ learn to live at a luxuriously spacious and enjoyable pace which allows me to thrive and overflow with juiciness and rich depth 

outer development

~ continue serious study with exemplary facilitators who inspire my vision and deepen my knowledge on the area that I am most passionate about

~ articulate my own unique philosophy and message and crystalize the essence of my work into tangible products, services  or vessels of intellectual property which can be marketed

~ manifest more opportunities to be interviewed on radio and television 

~ facilitate transformative experiences for larger groups of people

~ increase the frequency of my facilitation

~ cultivate more powerful speaking skills and the ability to speak improvisationally without a plan and still impart a cohesive, transformative message

~ master vocal mechanics of tonality, pitch, tone, and speed while also cultivating a unique and inspiring vocabulary which deeply effects others

~ to become masterful at supporting the expansion of potential through intuitive, empowering coaching skills

~ develop comfort and expertise in beautifully integrating unexpected emotional releases by event participants and making their experiences crucial to the learning of the whole group

~ begin creating my next book proposal based on my passions

~ begin writing and recording my mp3 meditations/visualizations

~ host more teleseminars/talk radio experiences

The support that I need along the way to live in alignment with the future I am creating is...

~ daily quality time spent with evolutionary partners who inspire me to stretch beyond my perceived limits and to live in a divine diamond frequency of delight, as a passionate manifester of my wildest dreams!

~ sweet quiet time for reflection, movement and meditation 

~ continue living close to nature with good smelling  air, tall trees, trails, mountains, fresh water and with a sky which shows lots of stars at night

~scheduled time to replenish every couple months on warm tropical islands which infuse my being with ripe femininity, ambrosial flow and succulence

~ loving intimacy which nourishes my body and spirit

~ lots of water, tons of green foods, superfoods, fresh juices and whole foods 

 

In endless gratitude for these amazing learning opportunities...

The Sensualization of Goddess Blossom...

I realize more and more that Divine Feminine qualities which allow us, as women, to be most aligned to our deliciously female essence are qualities that bring us into our body. The life force energy of feminine flavors is all about living in the senses! It is all about feeling, smelling, tasting, touching, hearing and seeing as sacrament. Living from the divine feminine is about living in a sensualized universe which fully inhabits the skin, muscles, and all matter of physicality of the body. The feminine is about being open to life in every way, living from an undefended heart which allows the flow of all emotions, from compassion, from disgust, all while staying centered in love. The raw, primal flow that is female invites softening and trust while experiencing the rainbow of human sensations in service of being truly alive. By nature, the Divine Feminine is erotic, flourishing, ripe and yearning for full expression with a level of longing which can never be fully satiated. Desire, as a force of nature, is a feminine expression of fullness.

With this in mind, I just evolved the imagery used to represent the Goddess Blossom Women's Circles~ from a light, airy, universally happy faces with mostly white or light colors ~ to richer colors and more reds and much more tactile, sensualized images. It actually depicts more of what actually happens in the circles~ There is more rawness in the new version. There are warmer colors and a more clear depiction of  emotional flow, longing and sensual saturation. I'm excited about this development! Learn more about the next Goddess Blossom Women's Circle here...

In continuing service to the expansion of divine feminine consciousness on the planet...

The Fragrance of Surrender

Beautiful luminous teacher oil!

Thank you for coaching me through your velvety, enchanting etheric grids.

I can't stop sniffing you!

I can't stop bringing you close to my nose and just holding you there,

inhaling, inhaling, inhaling...

I honor the ancients and moderns who created your alchemy~

Lavender, Roman Chamomile, German Chamomile, Angelica, Mountain Savory, Lemon and Spruce.

 

I am intoxicated by you

I am being reminded of such deep things by you.

The softness of stillness.

The mystery of quietness.

The alchemy of relaxation.

The illusion of control.

 

I bring my hands to my nose again and again and breathe deep

invisible molecules of you fly into my body, awakening, activating, replenishing

the essence of me which is divine

the flavor of my feminine.

 

My core being of relaxation 

She arises and teaches me the art of slumbering

Beauty through rest and deep nourishment

Prayer through self-nurturing.

 

Dear oil being of Surrender, 

the essence of you and I are merging

As your cells enter my cells

The texture of you which feels like cuddling

The sound of you is a thousand petals of , "aaahhhhhh"

You are luxurious piles of soft pillows

The ease of letting go 

Trusting gentleness

Having faith in flow.

Thank you for transmitting your sacred mysteries to me...

The mystical aroma of SHE.

On Being a High Maintenance Pony...

Remarkable women require remarkable care and feeding! Every woman should create a series of self care rituals and practices which help her shine the brightest... and she should be proud of the time that it takes.

As women, we are usually dissuaded from being "high maintenance". This concept is associated with being fussy, irritating or demanding. It is also usually associated with superficiality, celebrity lifestyles and overspending. It is generally something that excuses need to be made about. Men tolerate it but only if there is a big "payoff" for them personally, rarely recognizing the inherent value in opulent self care. But what if we, as evolutionary women, reclaim the idea of being, "high maintenance"? 

During a recent talk with my dear friend, Anne, she commented in a confident voice, "I'm a high maintenance pony," and then laughed proudly. She went on to describe all the self soothing rituals she has around daily yoga, exercise, prayer, saunas, spiritual quests, etc. Throughout her description, there was a sense of pride and accomplishment in her voice which really got me thinking. Anne is an extraordinary being. And I am realizing that time investment in being extraordinary should be valued as something special and honorable instead of something to be embarassed about.

I am now proud to say, as well, that I am a high maintenance pony! Actually, I have been for years, but I always had a few mixed feelings about it. Sometimes it has meant not eating what everyone else is eating or drinking when I go out. Sometimes it means having to say no to types of media which many enjoy but I know don't benefit me. It has meant prioritizing trips for my own spiritual expansion and growth over some family events. It has also meant saying no to my romantic partner when I need to invest time into resting or yoga instead of going out. Honestly, while I have always been able to say "no" with ease, I have felt a slight tinge of guilt about it. And sometimes being called, "high maintenance" made me feel a bit bad.

Talking to Anne reminded me that I can provide myself with all the validation I need. I can be the source of my own recognition by refocusing on the depth of my own life calling. I require extreme measures of self nurturing and  tender loving care and I am proud of it! High maintenance ponies are the stuff of champion ponies. Elite achievers which are in the top five percent of any field need equisite care and feeding~ think of Olympic athletes, the Dali Lama, and competing dancers.

I am realizing more and more that in living as my future self, now, I am being invited to step up the quality of my life and the size of the game I am playing. If I am already my future self~ an inspirational writer, speaker and workshop leader ~ empowering millions to enhance the quality of their lives, of course I would require equisite care and feeding (as I already do!) I would realize that the value of my life work is so great there it is an obvious need to nourish myself in lavish ways to allow my body to vessel and transmit the energies moving through me.

So that's it for today. Consider how much time you take for you and maybe give yourself a bit more. Enjoy self soothing, pampering your senses and doing things which make you feel clear and open. This is the most precious investment of time you can make.

xoxo,

 

 

The Art of Opening: Lessons from David Deida

Opening is a true art form and spiritual practice. The more you master the discipline of relaxing into your animal body with lithe presence, suppleness and ease, the more you open as a channel of love. Who knew? In school I never took, "Relaxation 101" or "Opening to Love 101"... so now as an adult I am called to re-create the basic training required around having a human body. This is about allowing flesh, muscles and bones to fully feel without judgement~ be it anger, sadness, joy, frustration or fear ~ and then beginning the slow craft of softening into it.

How quickly can you unclench your jaw when you are angry? How habitual is it for you to relax your belly, soften your face, uncurl your hands and unlock your shoulders back and down and your heart forward? How delicious and generous does your breathing become? How instinctual is it for you to consciously melt your heart open as a source of compassion and nurturing? To literally "switch on" feelings of caring deeply  for another, when your entire physiology actually wants to tense up into a little ball and roll away?

This devotion to being soft and supple is informing everything about how I am doing yoga. When I am in a pose which I think I can no longer tolerate, with shaking thighs and ragged breath, I remember my holy service, my personal vow to softening. I give my pose over to a higher service of being open and let go into it fully. When I am in a conversation and I feel a judgement or critical thought tightening my muscles, I extend my breathing and focus on feeling yummy, tender and flowing even while I feel the critical thoughts. When I feel like emotionally closing down and retreating to introversion, I stay. I stay instead of leaving, change my posture to unfurl my body open like a ripe blossom on a delicious fruit. I think of being warm all over and allow myself to feel vulnerable. Being open is a very active practice!

Become a genius at opening. Become a guru of softening. Be such a walking, taking, languid pulse sensual presence that you generate a forcefield of letting go all around you. Let your body be flexible and graceful. Seek yielding and pliability. Hone the ability to instantly refashion your posture and emotions so that you are a lighthouse of love.

xoxo,

Christabel

Divine Assignment: Open to Beauty

Your divine assignment today is to o-p-e-n fully to beauty. Calibrate your attention to tremble with rapt focus on anything which delights your senses. Train yourself to gravitate towards anything which makes you squirm with delight. Let your eyes linger. Pause. Breathe it in. Become the essence of that which you most enjoy savoring. Let it permeate every cell of your body and nourish your entire being.

Beauty is a healing balm which feeds the soul. It replenishes your aura with luminosity, mending the etheric grids of energy which surround and penetrate you. The frequency of beauty aligns your whole body and activates spiritual awakening. It is an invitation to bask in aliveness. It is a gentle welcome into the joys of the physical. Your senses are the portal to perceiving your body as a living temple. Beauty is a gift that transports you out of your mind and thoughts and into living fully and experiencing the celestial here on earth through sight, smell, taste and touch. 

Take time to notice what is beautiful for you. What colors mesmerize you and provide you with a sense of wholeness? What textures delight your fingertips and your thighs? What shapes and sights entice you?  What smells make your mouth water? What quality of sound tickles you all over in a way which you love? Maybe it is the scent of roses. Perhaps the delicious allure of mangoes, chocolate, coconut or a glass of fine wine. Maybe the gentle plucking of harp strings makes all the hairs on your skin stand. Perhaps you are mesmerized by the sunlight filtering through trees under magestic redwoods or the scent of campfires or elated by the soft fur of puppies as they scamper by your feet.

Spend time with beauty. Make savoring beauty a practice. Slow down. Give yourself fully to all of it. Everything sensuous is a doorway to the divine.

xoxo
