I post things about life n' stuff here, come check it out!

  • Heart diving is not pretty work. "Open when you want to close", I have said in the past. If you ever followed this advice, I empathise and admit, I am an asshole. Because this work is very fucking uncomfortable. You know when you go through a breakup or someone close to you passes and your heart literally HURTS? Like your chest aches and your throat tightens and your belly churns? Do you want to know why? Because healing the heart means stripping the layers of protection off and letting it be touched by the world. It hurts. Like when the blister bursts and the little bubble rips off and it kinda stings just from the breeze. Yah. That is the beginning of a heart opening. It means feeling it all and allowing the world to strip you down to the bare bones so that you realise that the walls you built, only kept you apart from love and others out, instead of protecting you. It made you tough and hard. It made you poised but rigid. And then you learn, you must feel it all and let it make you wither and worm until you finally get it. Stop struggling. Stop, just sit with it and then guess what, it won’t control you anymore. The funny thing is, when you dive as deep into your heart as I have been, exploring realms of consciousness, heart, mind and the good old dry as fuck and spectacularly messy experience of being a human. The moments of clarity feel different than they ever did. I think I have been waiting to feel, ON again and after some, time I’ve realised oh no, this is flow. It’s just here now. When you shift and change at such rapid rates and your work and your life are intertwined like a wave is with the ocean. And sometimes you’re the wave feeling a little disconnect and alone, other times the ocean feeling whole and powerful and then sometimes you’re the surfer who dumped by the biggest mother-fucking-wave of your life and there is coral in your leg, you’re rollin’ in the barrels wondering when you’re going to be able to surface for air. Oh, and, there is a shark swimming at you. There is all that. Where we want to be is not just cruising as the ocean but all three. And simply learning not to freak the fuck out when you’re the surfer getting dumped.Cont⬇
  • "Working with Amber this year has been fundamentally life changing. I don’t make that statement lightly, but it’s the biggest and best investment I have made in myself to date. I came into working with Amber thinking I had a pretty good level of self-awareness and understanding, but it was all taken up several notches during our coaching calls together. Amber has a unique ability to see though your bullsh*t and help you identify the root causes of what’s going on. Because of the deep level Amber works at with her clients, I feel like the changes I have made are sustainable and long-lasting, because they are rooted in my core truths and values. It’s not easy work, stripping back layers of beliefs and ideas that no longer serve, but it’s also ultimately rewarding and living a life of purpose, truth and acceptance." Rebecca Riley "It is really hard to describe or put into words just how much working with Amber has changed my life, my mind and my soul. With her knowledge and guidance I challenge myself, I motivate my own behaviour and I am the messy human and unfuckwithable version of me that I am – I love that!!! Being part of the retreat and working with Amber was the scariest, bravest and most worthwhile thing I have ever committed to. Real and accountable, in a supported group of individual people with AMAZING support staff. Our group exercise on unconditional love had a profound effect on me, no bullshit and raw – it simply took my breath away. Would I do it all over again?….. You betcha!! It was the best decision of my life." Belinda Pasfield My amazing clients words. I’m mind blow by these humans. Two spots still remain in this years round of Alchemy. Application link in my Bio 👆🏼👆🏼
  • Sit back for a moment and think about all of the arguments you’ve ever had in your life with a family member or intimate love. How many of them were you either trying to prove your point, justify your actions, blame for your pain, shame for their characteristics, judge, judge them or criticize them? If there’s none of what I just said then there is so disagreement. Most of our exhaustion in life comes from trying to uphold our ideals. It’s fucking hilarious if you’re willing to sit back and laugh. Stop trying to hold on so tight to your opinions and way of being. Just BE. Be here, no conditions or expectations. See what happens. If your friend loves burritos and you love tacos - LET THEM. If he believes in Allah and you believe in the end of life at death - SO WHAT. You won’t die if someone doesn’t agree with and you won’t die if someone dismissed your opinion and you won’t die if someone says, thinks or feels things you don’t understand. What if you just let it all be? It’s call - FREEDOM. And it’s tastes rather peaceful and empowering. All you need to worry about is you, love. A dear friend introduced me to @babaramdass A few months back and I love his explanation of all those words I just jumbled down onto my screen. Legend.
  • I made a meditation for you. If you want to work wayyyyy too hard, then go to the gym for three hours a day so you can hit the tree harder, faster and cut it down quicker. But if you want to work smart, sharpen your axe and do it with ease. This is the difference between trying to push through fear, resistance, stress, anxiety etc and meditation to centre yourself each day. I made a little morning guided meditation for this exact purpose; To have a great moment. 14 minutes worth of moments to be precise. I use a breathing technique combination to help you both switch on your parasympathetic nervous system (aka. calm), whilst also building internal energy without taking you into adrenal stress (like you would get from coffee, overthinking, go-go-go, pushing through all stimulation, sympathetic fight and flight, etc.) In around 14 minutes, I’ll guide you through: Focusing your mind Using your breath to build energy for your day from the inside Owning your power Relaxing into your truth Calling in wisdom to support you Connecting with your intuition and inspiration Taking self-responsibility for all that you can control in the here and now.

  • Within a few billion, this one matters a lot. Right now is what we’ve got. Always will be. Now is long and it’s also short. Be in it. Be in it from your heart - from there, even suffering in its glorious and despicable presence is welcome as fuck 🤘🏼
  • Deep down, we all just want to feel content. We might choose to use different words like happiness, family, having an impact, travel or freedom, and they’re definitely not wrong. But if you sit back for a second and take a few big belly breaths, begin to notice the feeling that lies underneath that which is important to you. It’s that ‘post Christmas lunch’ or ‘cold glass of water on a hot day’ or that ‘freshly cut grass’ kinda vibe that makes you feel all kinds of yum on the inside - except it has nothing to do with anything external. It’s because those things that are important to us take us to a place of complete presence. Translation - our minds are simply still. And that, ladies and gents, plainly speaking, is contentment. Before you ask, no, contentment and settling are not the same. Settling is a shrinking back away from life and adjusting our outer world so it’s not uncomfortable to our inner ego. For example, not speaking up when you want to because you’d rather keep the peace by stay silent. Or remaining in a relationship far past it’s expiration date because your fear is that you’d rather settle here than face the thought of loneliness. And note, I said ‘thought’ there. The truth is, we are actually afraid of the idea of pain or discomfort, rather than the discomfort itself. We are constantly living based on what we think will be too much for us to feel. Crazy, eh? We live misaligned lives because of a thought in our head about the chance that something might feel a bit rough for some time and that we can’t come out of that roughness feeling alive. Have you ever been through an experience that was incredibly challenging emotionally and came out stronger? Yes, of course you have. Because it’s our minds desire for comfort over inner contentment that is what really creates the suffering. True fulfilling contentment is when we feel full from the inside. So regardless of how we look, what our grades or social status is, how many like or followers we have or if we are more organised and efficient than everyone else, we still feel full on the inside.

  • I think we’re finally starting to realise, that for too long we’ve tried to blow people apart in attempt to break down their egos and fear. We believe we’re trying to help when we raise our voices and shake our fists; we want them to hear and see what we see. We’re afraid they will hurt themselves or others. We’re afraid they’ll hurt us. But if I learnt anything about a person acting from pain it’s this: you don't blast a heart open, you coax and nurture it open, like the sun does to a garden. You can’t reach a scared persons heart when you’re speaking to their mind. Soften a little in your warrior ship and you’ll find that strength and influence you’ve been looking for ❤️
  • Just like orgasms, stop overdoing it and it’ll come ❤️🤘🏼
  • Waaaaduuuup guys? So, great news. You may have heard - I’ve just made space for three humans to work with me. Just three!!! If the idea of working with me has ever floated your boat then check this out. Before you ask, my shitty metaphors and crude jokes are, in fact, included. And yes - you can be from anywhere in the world. My clients are very special people - The kind with purpose, fire and inner strength that’s become a little less bright than it once was or perhaps just misdirected. It’s been slightly lost due to suppression, or over work, or wavering inner self confidence. Or money strains for a creative heart, or hitting that same sabotage over and over again. Maybe it’s been the heaviness of the emotional armour mistaken for strength finally getting to them. They usually sense it’s a time for going in, all the way in, to a space inside themselves that lights up everything it touches: Their inspirational ideas, a force for clearing and healing and of course, anchoring them here and now where creating what they desire is just simple. Together, we master the art of using the mind for its greatness rather than having it lead and protect its sense of self. We guide them back to that spiritual heart, combining the balance of both. So - if you resonated with any of this - you might just be one of those three. There is a link in my bio - click on it and answer some questions (which is likely going to help you gain a BUNCH of clarity just in that). And then you can book a time to chat with me. Be warned. Yeh, you’ll make change beyond recognition and my clients have said it’s the best investment they’ve ever made - but it’s not all serious stuff with me. You will laugh a lot. And I’ll put you to work outside of our session. I expect your full investment of time, effort, ego and intention. We don’t scratch surfaces, ever. We explore depths and treat every conversation as if it was the last with me, and an intention to make your life remarkable☝🏻❤️ links in bio @amber_hawken https://amberhawken.typeform.com/to/oBoFzD
  • Self reminder. Sometimes I get caught (okay, all the f-king time) forgetting to not believe my mind or fear my discomfort. It’s just so easy to slip into your head and out of your heart. So. Reminder, Amber (and any other Amber like thinkers), do this stuff.
  • We are all a little too focused on our spiritual halos instead of getting out hearts elbow deep in our guts. You know, pulling out the darkness and loving it stupid. It takes so much energy trying to be perfect. Energy that could be spent on orgasms, creative writing, coffee with your loves, hiking natural peaks or even placing your attention towards the things you want. So how about not being so afraid of being seen or unseen or getting caught in thought. This way, you express your own divinity by being alive and by loving yourself and others. Maybe we cannot escape from the fact of being human, but we have a choice: to suffer our wild ride or to enjoy it.
  • 🦄 tag your unicorn friends for a reminder laff.
