Building Your Solid Foundation

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 101

Here’s a question… How strong is your inner foundation? I ask because yesterday as I was working on the details of the IGNITE 2020 Retreat I pulled an Oracle Card to guide me — and what came forward was a card about building strong foundations. I chuckled with a warm heart because the card is in absolute alignment with the fundamental intentions I’ve been holding for the retreat. It was another confirmation that Spirit always guides me to the truth. 

The card reminds me that we all are a beautiful work in progress, yet every so often it’s a good practice to check our foundations. You, dear one, have everything you need to cultivate your extraordinary life. The thing is, sometimes you loose focus of your foundation, your core values, ethics, and beliefs of your inner being, 

Every month in my lunar ceremonies, both the ones I hold publicly, and the ones I do privately, I advocate for looking at the fundamental intentions that are guiding us. We are changing everyday, and it only makes sense that our intentions change along with us. Checking our foundation is a way to review our intentions and to clarify if they still hold value. The question is are they still true for you? Will they stand the test of time and serve as the sold base for which you construct your life from here forward?

5 Questions to Ask Yourself as You Inspect Your Foundation
1. What actions are you taking to align to your values, belief and purpose?
2. How do you practice self-awareness?
3. What can you let go of or say no to that would strengthen your foundation?
4. Where are you ignoring signs or situations that no longer serve you?
5. Who are you spending time with?

Now is the time, dear one, to build upon your strong foundation. To remove what is no longer of benefit to you, and to strengthen that which is leading you to your prosperity. Each one of these building blocks of your foundation hold the brilliant energy of your intentions. Now is the time to own your dreams and to remember that no matter what, you are always more than enough. The design for your life is taking shape, and sometimes it’s helpful to do an inspection. 

I invite you to address the cracks in the foundation of your life. Go head and remove the broken pieces and reinforce your core moral strength and integrity. Now, dear one, is the time to step into your authentic honesty as you renovate and upgrade your inner foundation. Don’t be afraid to replace that which is no longer structurally strong and solid with that which supports and uplifts you. 

How have you been building your solid foundation? I’d love to hear some of the ways that you inspect and reinforce your inner strength and integrity. Send a reply or leave a comment and I’ll be sure to respond. 

Infinite Love,

Living Your Sustainable Life

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 69
I’ve been thinking about sustainability lately, and with the IGNITE 2020 Retreat happening here on the farm in January, I’ve been mulling around about what it takes to live a sustainable life — not necessarily in an environmental way, but in a whole life kind of way. 

I’ve been reviewing my past, looking at the life I lived in Silicon Valley, and at all the things expected of me there. I’ve come to realize that I was not living sustainably, instead, I was living someone else’s expectations of me. 

It’s taken me a while to decompress from that life. To give myself permission to live my unique purpose, and to engage more authentically with myself and those around me. Bottom line is that I finally stopped pretending that I had this “dream life” that everyone else wanted and began living my life fully, unapologetically, and in alignment with my big dreams and my deepest values.
In today’s Mindful Moment I’ll share 5 things that I consider necessary to live a sustainable life.  

1. Let go of toxic people and their expectations of you. Whoooo, this was a big one. When I realized that I was trying to be liked by everyone, I allowed toxic people in to my inner circle. Cutting the cord to them, or reestablishing new boundaries with them, has been one of the most difficult, yet liberating things I changed in my life. These days, my life is so much more sustainable as I surround myself with a smaller group of healthy, authentic and loving people. They don’t have any expectations of me, and support me in being the best version of myself that I can be. 

2. Show up for yourself and your dreams. This was another huge lesson. When I let my inner critic, judgements, and hidden fears run my life, I was always hiding in the corner and not allowing my gifts and talents to shine brightly. Now that I show up for my life – every single day – in whatever way feels best to me, I see my big dreams and audacious visions manifesting in ways I never expected. 

3. Drop out and tune in. For me personally, I had to drop out in order to tune in. I left Silicon Valley and moved to Panama. I stopped playing “the” game, and made up my own. It felt overwhelming, raw, and not so easy to leave a community I had cultivated for over 25 years. But when I began to tune in, I realized that I had a huge collection of acquaintances, with very little real engagement. Now I schedule time to connect with the people that really matter, and spend time in deep and meaningful relationships that uplift and inspire. 

4. Do the work to heal your wounds. Doing my inner work created the space for me to heal old and festering wounds. When I got clear about the issues I needed to confront in order to to heal, I thought I would break in two. It felt uncomfortable, vulnerable, and yet it was the most healing work I’ve ever done. I had to walk through the fire to create a life I could sustain with ease and grace. 

5. Honor your values. For much of my life, I lacked boundaries, I lacked the ability to say no to others. I was the perpetual yes girl. This rarely served my sustainable life, and I found myself scattered and unfocused. When I got clear on my own set of values and began upholding and honoring them consistently, I found that those who stuck around gained deeper respect for me, and for the important work that I’m here to do in the world. 

So, as you think of how you can quit plastic, recycle your glass, and switch to non-toxic cleaning supplies, think also about what you can do to create your own sustainable inner landscape. 

When you begin to look within for the clues, the inspiration, and the wisdom that you carry inside, you create a deeply sustainable life that becomes a integral part of you life journey. 

How are you creating your sustainable life? I’d love to hear some of the things that have helped you most. I always love reading your thoughts and comments, so go ahead and share them in a reply.

When we are safe, we don’t take risks

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 2

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I’m a firm believer in overcoming hidden fears. You know that what I teach is all about resetting your mindset and aligning it with your authentic truth. 

In my Lunar Intentions Ceremonies, I take my guests on a personal deep dive into my 7 step process to intention setting. Often, they’re surprised to learn that it’s not all about “unicorns and rainbows”. They’re surprised when we have a good look at the shadow side of what’s keeping us stuck in their repetitive, limiting behaviors. This, dear one, is what I believe is the key to unlocking our ability to create what we desire most. 

So often fear is what holds us back. And of course that makes complete sense, because fear’s role is to keep us safe. When we are safe, we don’t take risks, or challenge ourselves to strive bigger. We stay hidden, small, and don’t share our gifts and talents out into the world. Maybe we fear judgement, maybe we fear we’re not enough, maybe we fear failure, or even we may fear success. All of these, and many more, are what keep us in our inability to shine brightly. 

So today, I wanted to offer 3 behaviors where fear feeds within us. Ask yourself how these show up in your daily life.

1. Negative Mind Chatter. Often times I find that it’s the repetitive, sometimes constant, mind chatter that keeps us from our greatest dreams and desires. When we feed ourselves on a diet of negative commentary, there is no space for the greatness within to germinate. Next time you notice that negative chatter taking control, greet it with love and kindness, thank it for keeping you safe, and let it know that you’re trying something different right now. Let it go, and replace it with a thought that uplifts you instead. 

2. Judgement of Yourself and Others. Research into the way the brain functions shows that judgement is an emotional response, which causes feelings like guilt and fear.  Judgement actually bypass the cognitive pathways of the brain and hijacks your ability to think rationally.  Removing judgement helps to remove the negative drama in your life. Judgement often shows up as a mirror to our own inner landscape, as something within yourself that you don’t value or like. When you move away from judging yourself and others, you are on a path towards loving yourself in a deeper and more wholesome way. 

3. The Inner Critic. Criticism is sometimes confused with the notion of critiquing, believing that you are criticizing against a set of measures. However these measures are your own measures, your own beliefs. The inner critic is the one who criticises yourself or another and judges them. When the Inner Critic shows up, you decide that your opinion is the right or better one and the other is wrong or not as good. 

What do all three of these behaviors have in common? They are all conversations that you have with yourself in your own mind. These conversations can be quite destructive. They keep you from being in the moment, keep you stuck going over the past or thinking about what could happen next. They show you fear. They show you that your self-esteem needs a boost. They show you where you don’t like yourself. They show you where you’re not respecting yourself. 

So I’d like to challenge you, dear one, to begin to notice these three behaviors, and to put a stop to them. When you do, you’ll find that your self-love strengthens, and you begin to be the touchstone for your own achievement and success.

This translates into feelings of control for your own manifestation, and an ability to focus on your own life journey. You’ll also find that you will have more space for compassion and respect for the separate and unique journey of another person.

Self-love is a long-term disciplined practice, which all of us struggle with at some point in our life. If you feel that any of these three behaviors are creeping into your daily being, it’s a clear sign to stop for a moment, and to focus on your self-care and nurturing. It’s a time to revisit your intentions, to acknowledge yourself and your fears, to reconnect with your support team, and to recognize and celebrate your magnificence!!

I want all of us to know our greatness in the next decade, so after reading this article, would you let me know what you thought? I always love reading your thoughts and comments, so go ahead and share them in a reply.

Weave Your Unique Fabric

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 20
Have you ever participated in a Temezcal Ceremony? For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s is a type of sweat lodge which originated with pre-Hispanic Indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica and is used for purification, renewal, and healing. 

This weekend I had the honor of participating in one. The ceremony was held at Grandmother’s house on the beach not far from the farm, and I went with an open heart and an excitement to pray for clarity on some things that have been percolating within for several months. 

The energies of the August new moon lingered as a crescent moon rose above the sea. The fire had been lit, burned hot, and the volcanic stones placed with intention within glowed red. 

Women from far and wide, and of all ages, gathered in celebration of the divine feminine. We gathered together in ceremony to acknowledge and honor the sacred womb where all life is sparked. 

Intentions were spoken aloud. I could feel even more intensely how life always come back to intention. And this spiral of intention swirled with the best of them. 

Within this sacred container, I became even more connected. I felt connected to everything and knew without a doubt that my life force energy is one with all. I hold the stars in my hand. I drink in the moon. The sun fills my heart. I am the tree. 

This energetic spiral of all things plays an integral role in the weaving of the fabric of the universe. I have a connected role to play, my own divine part. And so do you, dear one. 

Here are two tips that may help you connect to your unique part. 

STEP ONE: Ask for guidance. 
When I’m not sure of the right direction, I simply ask. This applies to feeling lost on a road trip, or feeling unsure of my life direction. Take a moment, get quiet and connected to your life force, and simply ask for guidance.

STEP TWO: Express gratitude. While you wait for your divine download to come to you, express gratitude. Your ability to be grateful impacts greatly what you attract into your life. As you practice gratitude your energy will shift into a higher state, and any negative mind chatter will begin to fall away.

So, dear one, how will you dance your spiral with intent, weaving your part of this unique fabric called life? I’d love to know know, so don’t hesitate to send a reply or leave a comment. 

Infinite Love,
Lyn
