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

@amber_hawken
  • Imma’ help you become a puddle of happiness and dissolve tension held in your cells, loves. Tag the heck outta anyone who wants to be melt into relaxation and clear their mind and energy. Big hugs, you guys deserve to feel free and home in your hearts. I’ve got so many of these from years of working with old trauma and highly attuned high achievers.
  • Kurt and I are holding FREE meditations weekly for the next month. Please enjoy this guided mediation (snippets of a longer version I sewed together from a live session). . We’ve been guiding people together, into different aspects of their being for about seven years on retreats, workshops and festivals around Australia. @kurtthemeditationmechanic was my teacher - he was the very first person who got me to sit still for 60 minutes. His presence is pure, his wisdom is ancient, his music is sacred and healing and his impact is lifelong. . We’re going to be holding weekly journey sessions which combine some wisdom bombs and story telling that will address theme and energy each week on Thursdays at 8AM Brisbane time (9am Sydney/Melbourne, 6am Perth, 11am New Zealand, 3pm Wednesday’s Los Angeles). We will begin this week on my IGTV and zoom. . The link to register for the zoom (which will be emailed afterwards is in my bio) or you can just rock up on my IGTV at that time :) Bring a cushion and some water to our online session. We’re thrilled to provide you with this work that fulfills us so deeply.
  • Michael Singer is my spirit animal. I just spent the day working magic with @calmmindco AAAANNNNDDDDDD mapping out something that dropped in while body surfing, because - the ocean. . The Freedom Series; an adventure into your own creative source through a sequence of mental, emotional and energetic practices across 22 days. . It’s a practical doubling down on simple rituals that ground you in your centre, fine tune mental clarity, enhance your intuition and cultivate emotional calm. Tools, techniques and exercises accessible for life. . Are you in? We are in for a wild ride, together. I always stand with my people and shift into embodiment so I know where you’re at during our progress together. It’s deeply connecting and it’s transformational beyond recognition because we work with this as a collective. Yep, we do this as a group. There’s nothing more vital than interdependent connection for exponential growth. . This is my life’s work distilled into simplicity for potent results that last a lifetime. . Think - live coaching, channeled meditative journeys, cellular shifts, re-writing your (old/dead/restrictive) rules, re-defining possibility and using this time too shape what feels hard and challenging into a sustainable way of actualising what feels like a crazy, adorable and perhaps terrifying idea into a life you can touch and feel. No hard hustle, no push and grind, just flow, practice, service and contribution delivered from a full cup that fuels you from within. . More details to come, for now, you can DM me your e mail and I’ll touch base when it’s ready spaghetti to go. 👌🏼❤️🤘🏼🔥
  • Home practices - this one is to open the heart and release emotions and calm your mind and body when you’re feeling overwhelmed, triggered or in need of an energy boost. I teach you coherent breathing as well as a simply (but super hard) technique to shift your body from contracted to relaxed. This is one of the most powerful practices we can do right now and in life to sustain a sense of control, certainty and connection with self and the world around us! Enjoy!
  • I’ve felt grief in this lifetime so deeply I thought it would never leave my bones. ⁣ ⁣ I buried both my Mum and Step Father before I was 30. ⁣ ⁣ Mum spent a lot of her life running from pain with substance abuse. I watched her drown it in alcohol more times than I have memories of us enjoying moments connected. ⁣ ⁣ My step father took his own life. He suffered in silence. A strong, stern and deeply loving man who was only 30 - that’s how fucking old I am. He had a 6 month old son at the time and I cannot imagine how helpless me must have felt. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve had my heart cracked to a million little pieces once or twice with a cup or two of infidelity along side of a pregnancy that never made it to term, by my choice. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve spent my career working with people to move through darkness, chaos and fear. Especially those at the peak of their game who are so close to their full magnificence that they teeter on the edge of destroying it all. ⁣ ⁣ It can be terrifying to realise our own power. It means we must let go of the pain and the story that holds the safety or our limitations in place, vigilantly protecting the soft parts of our heart we’ve long spent guarding. ⁣ ⁣ Here’s what I know about pain and grief and sorrow and fear. ⁣ ⁣ Your heart has room for it all.⁣ If you close when you feel challenged you’re only compressing the shards of frozen hurt that’s trying to melt and work its way through. ⁣ But if you can open your hearts energy by relaxing your body, your belly and gently using your breath to navigate through rivers of your own energetic being, it can move through and dissolve away. ⁣ ⁣ Each time you brave opening and breathing into your heart when you feel the stab of uncertainty of our future, or the anxiety of your pending loss, or the ache of loneliness in your chest, you heal yourself, and the collective a little more. ⁣ ⁣ We’re being asked to slow down, breathe deep and open so that we can remember what’s important. Surrender, loves. It’s going to fucking hurt at times. Guys, if an orange man with just half a teaspoon of emotional intelligence can be voted for president, we can sit with our discomforts to release the old to make for the new.
  • I’d like to share a story with you. One about a lesson in love. This is my friend Ally. She’s going to kill me for this and also won’t be surprised. We’ve been mates since we were 14. We snuck vodka in pop tops into high school dances. We also lived together back in university days. Once we had a fight and I slammed the door in her face and then we hugged after. We’ve been through at least three beak ups each, together. We’ve held each others hair back when vomiting. I’ve travelled to different parts of the globe with her. I got stuck in an elevator in Spain for four hours and she saved my ass. And, it’s her birthday soon. We were meant to be in Italy right now sipping Vinos and eating pasta for her 30th. But obviously, I’m in the shower brushing my teeth on the Gold Coast (can we also appreciate how much of a babetown I am) and she’s in jolly old London being a weirdo. She checked in to say hi today. This flew into my whatsapp as I was finding, Despacito to blast while I elegantly drooled on my chin. In these times of unprecedented uncertainty, love and connection have become obviously more fundamental to the fullness of our human spirit. As I’m sitting here on the little patch of beach having tears and snot stream down my face missing her, I think about the increase of love that’s fluxed towards me and out of me in these last weeks. Case in point. It might seem silly, but to me, life is and always will be about being an expression of love. I suck at it, a lot at times, and I have to practice practice practice remaining open. Rona (the Australia nickname for COVID-19), thank you for reminding me of the power of love. This isolation may limit touch and travel, however it’s fuelled a deepening of my friendships, especially global ones, and clarified to me what really matters. Alas, in a very fierce and prudent manner. Terrifying and liberating to say the least. I’m a mixed bag of grievance and grateful to practice opening and loving in the face of pain. It’s a shit show at times and I believe will be one of the most profound awakenings of our collective heart. That’s just my two cents.
  • A reminder of your innate worth. A reminder to simply be you. A reminder of our interconnectedness. Pass it on to those who would benefit from a gentle reminder to chill. - Your purpose is an expression of self from your being, naturally. - We are so deeply interconnected to each other and life itself. - You exist therefore you are worthy
  • We’ve been shown how - and now, we get to continue to choose this new way we’ve been invited to be in. But seriously. Cheers below if you feel this 🍻 . I saw a version of this shared - I put a little love spin on it (added second paragraph). . There was no author on the share - if anyone knows the author of the first part of this excellent piece of satire, please credit. . Ive been moving house all weekend and the cold beer I just cracked tastes as good as laughing at this feels. Happy Sunday introspecting, loves.
  • A LOVE LETTER FROM THE UNIVERSE ⠀ If COVID-19 had a voice it might just say.⠀ ⠀ Pause, humans.⠀ ⠀ Go inward.⠀ ⠀ Connect with source.⠀ ⠀ And nourish yourself with it.⠀ ⠀ It’s time for you to learn to come HOME again. Now, while you do that — it’s time for me, the Universe acting undercover as COVID-19, to do a little house cleaning while you go to human’ing school.⠀ ⠀ Which, in a nutshell when you’ve graduated, you will have embodied connection with your inner source through presence.⠀ ⠀ This connection is the river of vitality available at any moment.⠀ ⠀ It’s the fullness you try to seek in booze, drugs, sex and food.⠀ ⠀ It’s the power you try to grasp for through intimidation, status and influence.⠀ ⠀ It’s the love you’re searching for in anything except your own heart.⠀ ⠀ All you ever needed to do was go inward and calm those waters, dance with your inner winds, breathe in the fire and earth into your being.⠀ ⠀ We are helping you cultivate the skill of opening your heart.⠀ ⠀ Loving when you want to judge.⠀ ⠀ Expanding when you want to contract.⠀ ⠀ Remaining still when you want to run.⠀ ⠀ Staying open when you want to close.⠀ ⠀ You will know when your heart is closed because your energy will drop.⠀ ⠀ Think back to a time you closed to a loved one and the spike in vitality the moment the connection was restored.⠀ ⠀ That vitality is available for each moment when you are open to you and to me, the Universe.⠀ ⠀ It is time to release those old control dramas and surrender to the invisible stairs that appear when you step forward with trust in your open heart led by the charm of joy.⠀ ⠀ OH JOY — YOU FUCKING FORGOT ABOUT JOY, GUYS!⠀ ⠀ We gave you JOY as a compass.⠀ ⠀ It’s like the carrot in front of the donkey except you’re the donkey and the carrot is a ‘goal’ that within its pursuit, holds the obstacles that will elevate and evolve your consciousness.⠀ Drop a 💚 if you feel this. Cont. in comments Full article link in bio 📸 @roshimccartin
  • This time is a reminder of the sweetness of surrender.⠀ Coaches, healers, parents, mentors, therapists, shamans, trainers - humans. ⠀ It’s okay to simply be. ⠀ In fact it’s recommended. ⠀ ⠀ There is need to save the world this week. ⠀ Or to ‘use this time well’.⠀ Productivity isn’t productive when driven from scarcity. ⠀ ⠀ Urgency is fear in action and a waste of life. ⠀ Panic begets panic, loves. ⠀ Calm begets calm. ⠀ ⠀ It doesn’t matter WHAT we do as much as it matters HOW we’re doing it. ⠀ ⠀ Courage is what joy, loving and moving slowly looks like when we’re all facing indefinite uncertainty.⠀ It goes against the conditioning of humans which is to contract and go into sympathetic reaction when we don’t know what’s in front of us. ⠀ ⠀ We aren’t ‘in control’, right?⠀ It’s clear we didn’t get the memo about it.⠀ The one about how its chocked every bit of life force from our soul. ⠀ Time to give that old chestnut up now. ⠀ ⠀ The big flashing neon invitation of right now is⠀ Presence;⠀ A less sporadic pace.⠀ And learning to be brave in our beautiful mistakes. ⠀ Ahhhhhh, the deliciousness of self compassion. ⠀ ⠀ When we are faced with the opportunity to love in the face of chaos we are reminded that fear is also a choice. ⠀ ⠀ And we are still in charge of that. ⠀ I feel a grand opportunity to let the part of myself that wants to get busy and do all the things right now, die. ⠀ ⠀ This is a marathon not a sprint. ⠀ Alas, a metaphor for my entire life. ⠀ Period. ⠀ ⠀ There’s never been a more important time to simply stop and be with ourselves. Even if we’re ‘doing’. Still, be. ⠀ And isn’t that fucking beautiful? ⠀ A little tragic since we’ve forgotten as a species how to just be and know we’re more than enough. ⠀ And what a great time to remember. ⠀ ⠀ Of course there’s no need to deny the grief that comes with the loss we face. ⠀ So do honour all you feel.⠀ Scream it, dance it, feel it, release it. ⠀ Baby, there’s nothing more vital than transcendence. ⠀ And then, do what we are being asked to do; surrender. ⠀ ⠀ Focus on what you can control (your reaction).⠀ Stay with yourself. ⠀ There, we will discover that which we’ve been searching for all this time.⠀ Ourselves.
  • Thank you to everyone who is sharing, caring and supporting each other. It’s so beautiful to see. What a trip, this life. I’ll be releasing a series of audios to support those working through anxiety, fear, stress, scarcity, loneliness or overwhelm of any kind. My intention during this period will be to lift you/us. To support through teaching you to work with and relate to your mind and emotions in a way that empowers you. For now, sleep. Love to you all ❤️
  • The scientist, behavioural therapist, healer and witch within me all make an appearance in this IGTV. I address - our personal responsibility as far as self quarantine. - the collective wound that’s available for us to heal. - practices to work through feelings of scarcity, fear and isolation. - how my dad is rad and even he gets the whole psychosomatic connection and how we have a choice. - using joy to lift your vibration We’re doing great. Big love!
