This week let's explore Self Compassion   Open the door. Invite in depression. Invite anxiety. Invite self-hatred. Invite shame. Hear their message. Give them a hug.

This week I am exploring the topic of the Dark Night Of The Soul   There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. - Carl Jung   -----  Work with me Embody H.E.R.   https://mailchi.mp/carolmaewhittick/embody-h...

This week I'm talking about pain. Is there a purpose to pain? Must we endure pain? And how do we move past pain?   "Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world." ― C.S. Lewis   -----    Work with me Embody H.E.R.   https://mailchi.mp/carolmaewhittick/embody-her Spiritual Life...

Change. If change is constant why do we resist it? Why do we need change? How to welcome and even initiate change?   "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." ― Buckminster Fuller   -----  Work with me Embody H.E.R.   https://mailchi.mp/carolmaewhittick/embody-her Spiritual Life Coaching: https://www.c...

"The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently." ― Pema Chödrön, When...

Authenticity. Why is it so rare? How does it benefit? What can we do to be our authentic selves and live a life of authenticity?   "You'll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of ad...

This week diving deep into the contrasting realms of shame and guilt. What are their distinct characteristics and how do they affect our lives?   The distinction between shame and guilt is very important, since these two emotions may tear a person in opposite directions. The wish to relieve guilt may motivate a confession, but the wish to avoid the humiliation of shame may prevent it. - Paul Ekman...

This week I talk about Resistance. "Change is the truth of life. The only thing that causes pain is resistance to change. The way to growth is to accept it and conquer it with a tranquil mind." ― Amit Ray   ----  Work with me Embody H.E.R.   https://mailchi.mp/carolmaewhittick/embody-her   Spiritual Life Coaching:  https://www.carolmaewhittick.com/her-coaching   Connect with me Carol Mae Whittick...

This week, Purpose.  "Every life has a purpose. We need to let go of the past. Live in the present. Do not waste today worrying about what will happen tomorrow. Embrace your true spirit, embrace and listen to grace and you be transformed in the moment. Do not fixate on what you want but give thanks for what you have." – Caroline Myss ---- Embody H.E.R.   https://mailchi.mp/carolmaewhittick/embody-...

What is visualisation? How to develop visualisation? Using visualisation to heal and transform our lives.   "We lift ourselves by our thought. We climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always everywhere." – Orison Swett Marden   ---- Embody H.E.R.   https://mailch...

Why it can get misinterpreted but on deeper inspection it is at the test of fortitude and faith and the creator of true strength.   "A waiting person is a patient person. The word patience means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situation out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us." ― Henri J.M. Nouwen   -----  Embody H.E.R.   https://mailc...

This week, Resilience. This is our ability to recover after setbacks. Why do some people seem equipped to weather the storms of life and why do others struggle?

Frankl, Man's Search for...

This week procrastination. Why do we battle with it? What is it showing us?   "Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity.

The answers are always inside you, just waiting to be heard. - Byron Katie ---- Spiritual Life Coaching: http...

This exploration of Innocence What does it truly mean to be in Innocence how can knowing nothing be an empowered state? Innocence is bravely brave. It is "eyes wide open" to the real and good. It protects from aggression, reforms the perpetrator, turns an enemy into a breakfast companion. Innocence is fearless and calm. It yields to good as the all, the only power. - Michelle Boccanfuso Nanouche I...

This is all about Emotional Triggers What creates them, how they affect us, what they show us and how to heal? With so much contentious and polarizing information and events in the world it is time for us to recognise how the unhealed parts of ourselves can hinder our development.    "Triggers can happen when you least expect them. When you think all the emotional wounds are healed something can h...

The focus this week is on Jealousy and Envy. First, clarifying the definition, delving deeper into where they stem from and then recognising that even though these are supposed negative emotions we can use them to make positive shifts.
