8 Habits That Are Blocking Your Wild Feminine Oct 10, 2018

Show notes

Episode 224: In this podcast, Madelyn Moon dives into the realm of femininity to help you understand where you might be blocking the Feminine you already have access to. If you want to stop muting or numbing out your feels, you must begin to accept the emotions that are trying to move through your body. This means no more judgment or shaming yourself for feeling certain ways-- it's your emotion that is going to be the very thing to bring you back in touch with your Feminine!
Take a listen to this episode to find out the 8 habits you may be partaking in daily which are ultimately watering down your incredibly powerful connection to your creative, open, sensual, slow, vulnerable, powerful, nourishing, feminine self.
Let's open up our hearts, shall we?
Show notes:

How we are in our body is how we are in our emotional state.
You can only open up as far as you open in your body.
Be aware of how you position your body. For example, do you cross your arms often?
Being in your body is being in the feminine.
A simple technique you can do with your body to tap into your feminine.
The power of opening yoga stretches: hip openers, half pigeon pose.
Hips hold our trauma; stretch them regularly.
Physically and emotionally going outward when we really want to go inward.
Sun: outward; moon: inward.
Honor your desire to be alone.
FOMO isn’t really a thing. FOMO is a choice.
Sometimes we are just too vulnerable to be around other people. We need to feel our feelings and we need to feel them alone.
What is projection?
Second-guessing yourself and back-pedaling on our lives.
The power of “fake it til you make it.”
Not honoring your yes and your no.
The more you shut down your ability to say yes and no, the less you’re going to know what a yes and a no is.
Eating in the Light of the Moon by Anita Johnston
Rushing too quickly is a way we trample over our feminine.
We hold back our energy (emotion/expression) to blend in and because our judgment is too much to bear.
Jenna Cooper, The Bachelor HERE
Not mothering yourself; telling yourself to get over it.
We cannot nurture others if we cannot nurture ourselves.
Not making time for dance; not making time to get into your physical body.
My favorite dance ritual to get into my physical body.
Holding onto the story that you’re still one of the guys.
Choose to change your story. Say: I love women. I support women. I am a woman.
We are all the same. Your beauty is my beauty.
Women are not inherently dramatic; we are energy.
Consistently send out an aura to the Universe that you are one of the girls.

Why You Should Be "Too Emotional" Sep 19, 2018

Show notes

Episode 222: Growing up, I was often told that I was overly sensitive, way too emotional and that I needed to calm down. I heard these statements mainly from male figures in my life. Maybe you can relate. How often were you told growing up that you need to just chill out and stop making such a big deal out of things? These phrases haunted me for years — thinking there must be something inherently wrong with me. I've done some incredible healing work around this and now realize that feeling your feelings is a really beautiful thing. Connecting into my emotions is what shapes my life — they are my guiding truth; my connection to my intuition. Learning how to connect to my heart's truth is my superpower; not something I wish to ever shove down and hide from.

The feminine is essentially energy — the flow.

The Triple Goddess Explained: Maiden, Mother and Crone Sep 05, 2018

Show notes

Episode 220: If you want to create and cultivate more wisdom in your life, you must allow yourself to enter new phases of life. There are many ways to explore the changing stages of a woman’s life. In this episode, we explore the cycles of a woman’s life reflected in the three stages of the Triple Goddess: The Maiden, the Mother and the Crone. Understanding these three phases or archetypes of life has given me a deep appreciation for being a woman and I hope it does the same for you.

Show notes:

The article I reference to go deeper into these archetypes HERE
The Maiden, the Mother and the Crone are each present within you.
The archetype that is the most misunderstood.
The archetype that makes me emotional.
The Maiden represents: enchantment, inception, growth, expansion, new beginnings, youthfulness, playfulness, carefree, virgin energy.
The Maiden’s job: to come to know her own thoughts, ideas, values, and purpose, and to dream and generate vision for her life.
The Maiden: spring season/waxing moon.
The Maiden's shadow side: caught up in taking chances without the wisdom to go along with it, dangerous in risk taking, refuse to take on insights from others and needs approval from others.
The Mother represents: giving and compassion, a fullness, flourishing, rich/colorful, ripeness, fulfillment, stability, power.
The Mother's shadow side: controlling, critical, over giving of who you are, abandon your own individuality.
The Mother: summer season/full moon.
“If we want to have a healthy mother, we have to be very in touch with our maiden.”
The Mother’s job: to actualize the dreams of the Maiden and to become in touch with who she really is.
The Crone represents: a sense of letting go, returning to your roots, represents wisdom, energy of surrender, no longer needing to prove anything to anyone, a fullness of wisdom, trustable, reliable, honest.
The Crone’s job: to share her knowledge with others.
The Crone's shadow side: can be resentful and bitter if she has regrets.
The Crone: winter/autumn/ waning moon
“Whenever you are in the Crone archetype, you’re closer to the fullness of God that is love.”
Society and the media knows that the more they pressure us to stay in the archetype of the maiden, the more we will spend.
“We are pressured to have the maiden body, life and mindset, but we’re not fulfilling our duties here to be the divine feminine if we don’t go through all of the stages.”
My invitation to you is do not go back to who you were. All of life is forward motion. You are not meant to be the maiden forever. You are meant to change and grow.
“If you want to create and cultivate more wisdom in your life, you must allow yourself to enter new phases of life.”
Honor the changing phases and know that you have a maiden, mother, crone within you at all times.

Gemma Danielle: Cacao Ceremonies, Reiki Healing and Connecting with Spirit through the Womb Aug 22, 2018

Show notes

Episode 218: Gemma Danielle is an artist and certified Reiki Master instructor. She has studied traditional Usui Reiki for over a decade and combines shamanic journeying, plant medicine ceremonies, akashic record reading and sound healing in her private practice. She seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to obtain unity with the absolute, and pursues universal truths that are beyond the intellect and the individual. Inspired by a personal healing journey, her work points beyond the illusion of separation, to express the ineffable mystical experience of transpersonal consciousness.
Her fine art began as a medium for the healing energies of Reiki, and she often references the ancient meditation tool of the mandala as a conductor and generator of this energy. She repeats silent prayers, or mantras, with each line drawn in her intricate webs, and labors over the precise straight lines without the aide of a ruler, attempting to mimic the technical precision of a computer by embracing the powerful capabilities of the human hand. She claims these works exist in multiple dimensions and can elicit an involuntary emotional response. She believes that art can serve as an antidote to the spiritual apathy of contemporary culture, beyond the fashionable expression of ego, to bring profound personal transformation and catalyze global spiritual evolution.

5 Reasons Why This Popular Fear Around Becoming a Coach is Total BS Aug 15, 2018

Show notes

Episode 217: If you'd like to become a coach, but haven't quite made the leap yet, I'm guessing this popular reason is holding you back and creating most, if not all, of your resistance. Trust me, I get it...there are lots of ways our Inner Critic likes to convince us that we need to play it safe.

Here is my question: is that your true voice? Is that really the voice that has your best interest at heart? Do you feel it's been leading you closer to your truth all your life...or further?

In this episode, I'll explain why this one popular fear is total BS and how you can triumph over it to become the coach you desire, and were born, to be.

Nothing is original. We’re ALL recycling the same stuff and that’s okay.
Coaching tip: If you’re starting out in coaching, get specific on the one thing that you feel the most comfortable with.
The honest truth is there’s never going to be enough coaches and healers in the world.
You being a healer does not threaten me being a healer.
