Ey loves. We’re navigating lots of big *stuff* at present. Last week I struggled a lot. As a result I’m inspired to write more about energetics more than ever. For now, some musings. ⠀
⠀
When activism is motivated from a place of pain, the energy behind the *good intention* isn’t matching the actions, we tend to create collateral damage. To self and others. ⠀
⠀
Have you ever touched a really hot thing and spat profanities at an inanimate object?⠀
⠀
The pain triggers a BIG reaction within us. It’s hot, it hurts, we could get seriously injured if we keep our hands on the hot thing. ⠀
⠀
So it makes sense that our instinct is to pull back. ⠀
⠀
The pulling away prevents further damage. ⠀
The profanities are more so a release of energy. ⠀
⠀
Sometimes, emotions can blind us so severely we can’t see the forest from the trees. ⠀
And sometimes, when we are blind, we can feel helpless. ⠀
⠀
Helpless people tend to get to point of either giving up or becoming reckless.⠀
We spiral in, or out. ⠀
⠀
Spiralling in can lead to deep internal darkness; depression. ⠀
Spiralling out can cause tunnel vision and collateral damage as they person actions to prevent or disperse pain; activism/words/actions fuelled by pain intended to weaken, damage or destory the perceived cause.⠀
⠀
Whilst the action make still have a ripple effect, it’s not the best use of our energy. ⠀
⠀
Any feeling from anger, resentment, fear, fury, rage, pain, grief to helplessness and despair are completely valid during a worldwide upheaval, activism fuelled by pain will inevitably beget pain. Perhaps collateral damage seems valid in such circumstances. ⠀
Perhaps looking down and hoping for change feels as much as we can do. ⠀
⠀
And I am in no way suggesting you should not feel any of these emotions or you are weakened, less than, unhelpful, wrong, out of line.⠀
⠀
I’m suggesting that the power of the energy you hold is a far greater form of activism that what we might be used to seeing or believing is the only way. ⠀
⠀
It takes a great deal of courage to place down blame and hold the energy of joy, power, love and freedom in times like now. ⠀
⠀
Luckily we’ve got it in gallons, loves.

My Women’s Alchemy Retreat Dec 2020 has four spo

My Women’s Alchemy Retreat Dec 2020 has four spots remaining. Swipe to feel our vibe and hear from February’s ladies.

I designed alchemy for the healers, teachers, coaches, therapist, mothers, sisters, creators, activists, entrepreneurs and manifesters to disentangle from the fear that’s held them back to return home to their soul - permanently. ⠀
⠀
I see you. The powerhouse woman who holds it together keeps the ball rolling and the wheels turning for everyone else in her life. ⠀
Who craves to be held, loved and energised but cannot seem to get off the hamster wheel. ⠀
⠀
The fear of letting it go and it all just falling apart has held you captive of your own life. ⠀
⠀
I understand you. The one who has read the books, done the courses, felt the feelings, practised the techniques, attended retreats and workshop and consumed self help up to their eyeballs but know there is another level - and they’re not going to find it outside themselves…so where?⠀
⠀
You know if you keep trotting down this path you will only find more busy-ness, loneliness, dissatisfaction and frustration. ⠀
⠀
Alchemy answers this question. It is a reclamation of self through cathartic processes that take you far deeper into your being than you know is possible. ⠀
⠀
We take you inward to clear what’s programmed, stuck, blocked and in the shadows to shed what no longer belongs. When you clear, you raise your vibration. And when you raise your vibration, you raise your thinking, your emotions and your life.⠀
⠀
You will have the energy and trust in self to make the decisions, take the leaps and create opportunities you’ve previously procrastinated, doubted and pushed aside. ⠀
⠀
You will leave with emotional, mental and spiritual wealth from the inside out. An energetic upgrade, emotional mastery, exceptional mental poise, dangerously calm confidence and joy that permeates from within and extends into all you do.⠀
⠀
And ultimately, isn't that really everything you've been wanting all along?⠀
⠀
Dec 3-6th 2020. Sunshine Coast, women only. Very limited places of which over half have been filled. ⠀
Apply now using the link in my bio. ⠀

I can’t wait to meet you...

Oh what I would give to place my hands on the hear

Oh what I would give to place my hands on the hearts of this countries *leaders* and show them what love is. I’d teach them how to breathe so deep and circular until the little light inside that must have gone out a very long fucking time ago, wakes up and shines some sense into their spirit. I’d love the shit out of the part of them afraid to feel, afraid to take responsibility, afraid to relax and trust and lead with their intuitive sense. Allowing 30,000 people into a stadium to watch an AFL match but prohibiting the facilitation of somatic, hands on cathartic healing with a 1.5m distancing rule, is the new age entertainment of the masses by the Roman emperors. A double standard that’s confusing at the very least. Perhaps a little criminal. At what point did the witnessing of men fist punching balls on a grass oval surpass healing and reclamation of Sovereignty? Im not mad, just ready for the fall of what needs to crumble. I know in my bones it’s a catalyst calling us to rise together. I stand by my statements around joy and the embodiment of sovereignty and unified consciousness as a form of activism. There are ways around touch and contact and there are methods magical without it, yes. It’s not about that. My urge to bring light to the double standard is nothing more than an expression of respect for all of you continuing to remain grounded in your being and leaning into love, self leadership and holding the energy of integrity and power in every cell of your being - no matter what. All things built in fear will eventually crumble.
Hold the light, guide it, be it.

Most of us have delivered or received the advice,

Most of us have delivered or received the advice, solicited or not, “that’s your choice”, whilst listening to or talking about a challenge at hand.⠀
⠀
While I fully condone healthy challenge of limitation.⠀
I believe there is a time, place, tact, and most of all permission that is required in order for this questioning to be positively impactful. ⠀
⠀
I also believe that we can cover all these bases to the best of our ability and someone's reaction will still be dependent on their internal world. ⠀
⠀
And that the words or implication of the idea that, we do not have a choice, is not so much a *victim* response that is sometimes implied amongst polarising personal growth articles, as it is a lack of understanding. ⠀
⠀
Please allow me to shine some light on the topic about the choice I believe we always have, and how to begin applying it, effective immediately.⠀
⠀
When I was Radiation Therapist (treatment of cancer using radiation), we used to program a giant machine called a Linear Accelerator which *shot* invisible beams at a specified point in a persons body where the cancer was located. ⠀
⠀
Without visibly breaking it, we penetrated the layers of human flesh, organs and bone and the subatomic particles directed at the cancer would break apart the DNA of anything it touched. ⠀
⠀
It also had a build up effect (increased visible signs and symptoms that showed over time) and a long term impact. ⠀
⠀
When I think back to radiation therapy and consider the studies that Gregg Braden talks about in his book, The Divine Matrix. About how a person's meer observation of subatomic particles influenced the behaviour of the particles, I draw parallels between the two and note this:⠀
⠀
Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there, or that it is less powerful than what we can touch. ⠀
⠀
Now we don’t have laser beams coming from out eyes that destroy everything in its path. But we do all each hold and continuously emit a certain frequency.⠀
⠀
What I find most magnificent is the fact that we can each deliberately change and direct this frequency by multiple means, if we choose.⠀
⠀
Part 2 and 3 continued in comments⬇️

The self-help world is rapidly becoming its very o

The self-help world is rapidly becoming its very own monster of neurotic self-assessment, critical analysis and spiritual materialism. ⠀
⠀
Aren’t we fucking exhausted from constantly measuring ourselves yet? Or worse, having so many righteous expectations of others?⠀
⠀
After all the books, courses and ‘healing’ you’ve done, at any point, have you ever TRULY felt fully relaxed as you?⠀
⠀
WHERE IS THE JOY???⠀
⠀
It’s impossible to be open and alive if there’s always an expected deliverable a the end of all your ‘work’. ⠀
⠀
That deliverable being a perfectly-cut-out spiritual mother-fker version of you.⠀
⠀
There are many variations of this playing out, but today I wanna' to speak to the frameworks of ‘the masculine and feminine’ chit chat. ⠀
⠀
If we put as much energy into connecting to conscious presence and filling up with our own love as we did into mimicking what we think the divine masculine or feminine would do and say, we’d be tantra masters. ⠀
⠀
When looking through the frameworks of masculine and feminine, we are examining the two opposing forces of energy alive within us all. ⠀
⠀
I'll try using a metaphor about a box of salad to describe the masculine and feminine aspects we all have and then sharing with you what I suspect might allow us more breathing room for inner balanced, healthy relationship with self-healing and most of all, each other. ⠀
⠀
Picture a container filled with a delicious salad! You’re favourite salad that has every coloured and delicious flavour inside. ⠀
⠀
The masculine is the spacious, infinite intelligence and pure source. The highest purpose and consciousness of all, as pure existence. This aspect of us wants to be empty, the bottom line direction. It wants to be an empty space which can hold all without being identified with any of it. ⠀
⠀
Think, “the container”.⠀
⠀
The feminine is the ever-changing creative force that flows, feels, swirls, evolves and is an expression of all that’s impermanent. This part of us wants to be love and give love. To feel full, feel, heard, seen and craves to be ‘held’ by a ‘container’. ⠀
⠀
Think, “the salad”. ⠀

Practice makes the master…
From the man himself
“When I lost the lower half of my leg in an accident, my visions of representing Australia seemed to be destroyed in the blink of an eye. When faced with this situation I had to make a choice, Hide from the world or take it as a challenge and attack it head-on.”
Scott went on to be a four-time Paralympic Gold Medalist.
We cover his journey from losing his leg in a farming accident
The mental and emotional resilience required to face a new identity, a new world, and begin your dreams from scratch
The power of decision that took him back into the competitive sport as an amputee
How we went from being just seconds behind making the podium and the technique he mastered that took him to a gold medal four times over
The drive behind ‘winning’ changing form from achievement to contribution

Thanks Scotty, you legend! Big love! #podcast #paralymic #athlete #podcasting #theamverhawkenpodcast

31. Another beautiful year to be kicking about.

31.
Another beautiful year to be kicking about.

Thank you to the exquisite group of humans that celebrated with me across the weekend. Perhaps I’m bias but I’m convinced my friends are superheroes.

Evident in the gifts of Harry Potter themed games, dark chocolate, red wine, plants, adventure equipment, and filthy rounds of card against humanity that had us all in stitches.

Thank you all so much for your messages and love today. And @popesmagotes for ensuring I was showered with surprises, love and my favourite people. I fucking adore you.

My women’s Alchemy retreat is back and applications are open now. Link in bio.
⠀
It’s called Alchemy because we purify for four days straight. We take what is not pure within ourselves and remove, shake out, shift, shed, purge, release, transcend, integrate, break up, quantumly leap, invigorate, awaken and enliven them to their highest form.⠀

The masterful art of holding the simultaneous presence of the masculine and the creative force of the feminine. ⠀
A wholeness. A home within themselves that they take everywhere they go. ⠀

“To work in the dark, you must be able to hold your own light, and still be intimate with the darkness.”
― Thomas Lloyd

It sounds a little esoteric, perhaps. I think the part I love most about the Alchemy Retreats is the humanity, humility, humour and unconditional acceptance we bring the to table. All egos are left at the door. This work may reach different dimensions at times. But it is dedicated to being present with life and the workings of bringing the highest form of self to each ordinary moment of each day. It's as infinite as it is practical. ⠀
It's as tangible as it is unexplainable. It's extraordinary really, ;)⠀
⠀
The state of our world requires women who hold a clear and open heart, the highest vibration of light and their feet firmly planted on the ground.⠀
They appreciate the tangible world and come to activate the wisdom of the dimensions we can feel in our bones, sense in our daydreams, feel in our breath and hear in the wind.⠀
⠀
They then take what they become into their world in their own unique way. ⠀
From psychologists, lawyers, corporate CEOS, to single mothers of five. ⠀
These women are not bound by their titles, their experience and definitely not their pain. ⠀
They form a bond so deep because they’re there for the same reason: ⠀
To return home to self, in order to go big in this world.⠀
⠀
If you are one of these women, let's roll. We are over 50% full. Apply to join us December 3rd in Australia. Link is in my bio⠀
Oh, and we do in style. Lush hinterlands and delicious organic nutrition, only.
