Reclaiming Your Self ~ Episode 72 ~ Living a Life of Curiosity

It is one thing to know what life is.  It’s a very different thing to be willing to be curious about what life might become!

Join us as we explore what it takes to live a life fuelled by the desire to discover rather than the need to know.  Consider, for yourself, what life might become were you to invite and allow your curiosity to lead the way; to welcome uncertainty and relax into the unknown.  One of our greatest curiosities is to consider:  How else might I choose to live MY life, today!

In conversation with: Jean Winter – WEL-Systems Institute Affiliate and Certified CODE Model Coach™ – shares the challenges and the joys of moving from being the ‘teacher’ to discovering herself as the student in her own, great evolution!

With a Masters degree in Education; as well as being a singer with a passion for great music and powerful sound, Jean  has chosen to expand her life by choosing to expand into her own, accelerated evolution.

In her own words:  ”It is my belief that, in working individually and in collective,  we have the power to transform and evolve. In the power of the collectives which we create together is the power to create culture. ”

Today, I am revisiting the things that have long held meaning, and wonder:  do they still?   My commitment is and always must be, first, to mySelf.

Today, I am mindful, that without a willingness to revisit my life as a living and evolving expression of ‘being’, my commitments become hollow and empty.

I share this recording with all of you and invite you to pause… reconsider… and tell yourself the truth of your own experience.

A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 6:38

Thoughts On… Commitment

Our commitments hold the power to mold and shape our world. Who we choose to be in the expression of these will define our future and that of our children; shape our communities, our cultures and our systems. With what appears to be a simple declaration, we can lock things into place, hold things at bay or we can invite potential to unfold. Like the declaration itself, it’s a choice worth paying close attention to.

In ‘The Matrix’, Morpheus offers an awakening to reality by taking the red pill.  Take the blue pill, and remain ignorant.  Take the red pill, and there is no going back.

The desire to awaken is great and palpable!  Not only because of curiosity but because of an ever- increasing hunger to connect to a more meaningful life.  Taking the red pill comes with its challenges.  How do we choose to stay awake and stay well, vibrant and engaged in the creation of our own lives?

Sekhmet Rising: The Restlessness of Women’s Genius

Around the world, men and women are beginning to stand, together and in resonant voice, to declare, ‘Enough!’.

Enough violence against women and girls! Enough mindlessness and brutality! Enough looking the other way and pretending it isn’t so! Enough fabrication of story to make it right and noble! Enough!

The toughest conversation we will ever have is the one we have with ourselves. As in every and all things, it begins with The One that I AM; and it begins, within.

Some things bear repeating – and this is one of them.  Given the many and recent postings that speak to violence against women and human trafficking, becoming mindful that we’re choosing is likely, a reasonable conversation for us to reconsider.  Special thanks to Jaime Lowe Roach for reminding us all that there is much more to who we can become, than who we are in the moment.

Settle in with a steaming cup of your favourite brew… and listen to how we get to be who we are – and we’re never stuck there!

Reclaiming Your Self ~ 11/01/06 ~ Penetrating Cultural Coma

As a new year begins, so does the dance of the ‘resolution’ for change. All those promises to ourselves… walking the edge of the sword as we move between giving up the familiar that we see as the cause of the problem, and taking on the unfamiliar in the hope that it will become the solution! Maybe this time, it will last longer than 10 days….

But what about the much bigger picture? What about the world through which we move; the one that has shaped us through family and culturally ingrained beliefs, values and attitudes; and far too often, continues to do so long after we think we are indeed, our own person?

How effective can we be in redesigning our lives if we are unable to see the invisible one that holds such sway over our ability to be true to ourselves?

Join Louise and her guests as they raise the bar on the explorations required to reclaim your Self – awakening to your internal cues and individual intentions in a much larger world profoundly committed to external referencing as the ‘truth’ essential to our survival!

In conversation with: Naomi Irons-Hill and Kae Shelby Roberts – WEL-Systems Institute Affiliates and Certified CODE Model Coaches™ – know the pull of the collective as a challenge to potential.

With differing and unique perspectives, both Naomi and Kae bring the insights and wisdom of their own compelling journeys to shed light on (and bring definition to the recognition of) the ‘invisible presence’ of others in the choices we make for ourselves.

What far too many women overlook is the intensity and consistency of the cultural conditioning that ensures we have no edges!  Without edges, we are more willing and able to be moulded and shaped; with a greater likelihood of never noticing that we have disappeared from any notion or intention of our own creation and expression.

Today’s invitation is to stop… take a breath… and pay attention to that which we may well have long forgotten.  It is only in remembering the deeper truth of who we are, that we might fulfill the destiny of our own becoming.

Living Life with an Edge

Like matter cannot form without energy, we cannot carve out our lives without an edge. Our edges separate who we have been from who we might become. They make it possible for us to move into what we want and leave behind what no longer sources us. Discovering and owning our edges invites us to find courage in our vulnerability, strength in our compassion and the willingness to reach out for the life we choose.

Reclaiming Your Self ~ Episode 71 ~ The Power of the Journey

It’s may not always easy and it may not always be fun… but for those who are called to the powerful and compelling journey of their own evolution, it is always worth it!  Those who choose to venture into the unknown territory of the Awakened Self soon discover that the power lies in the journey, itself, and not in any single destination.

Join us as we engage in the exploration of the moments of uncertainty; and the great moments of discovery that make it possible for us to ask:  How else might I choose to live MY life, today!

In conversation with: Nancy Hanlon – WEL-Systems Institute Affiliate and Certified CODE Model Coach™ – knows intimately the courage it takes to be both willing and able to begin the never-ending journey of personal evolution for its own sake.

With a background in Social Work; as well as a Certified Instructor of Nia, Nancy combines her passion for people with the grace that comes from the life-lived discoveries of Self and other.

In her own words:  ”I entered the social work field thinking I could save the world. That is no longer what I think.   I choose to create conversations that are compelling and life transforming, with individuals, families, couples and professionals that are willing to take the dive of self-discovery within themselves.“

It’s Wednesday and I’m mindful of my commitment to myself to listen to/for something that will expand my world. This one (on Evolution by Intention), I’ve listened to a few times, mindful that it’s not a quick listen; it’s not an easy listen; and it’s not a catchy little ditty that you can hum when you’re leaving the show! It has however, reminded me of who I am, why I’m here and what it’s all about.

I debated sharing with all of you because it’s longer (14 minutes instead of 5 minutes) and I know your days are busy ones. I am also aware that it’s not funny, light or airy; and you need to create the space to digest it. Otherwise, you must push yourself away from the table or end up with a burning sensation in the pit of your stomach. It’s a serious consideration on an important topic: my/your/our future and how we want to create it. We do indeed, reap what we sow. Perhaps if we were more present to and mindful of that notion, we would take greater care at the planting.

So, at the risk of overwhelming, I share with all of you nonetheless. May it leave you as agitated as it left me. Maybe – just maybe – agitation is indeed, a sign of Life to come!

We are slowly, but surely, coming to recognize that we need a new place to stand in the creation of our lives and our world. Building on or seeking to change what is, may no longer be enough to offer the transformation that we so greatly desire and require. Take a moment to consider how else we might choose to redefine and redesign our reality.

Reclaiming Your Self ~ Episode 70 ~ Let’s Talk About SEX

This episode of ‘Reclaiming Your Self: Women Unedited and Engaged!’ marks the re-launch of these provocative, compelling and life-altering explorations with women, by women and for women!

Everywhere we go, we can easily find references to sex in our day-to-day experience.  But how often do we ever stop and consider, for ourselves, what sex means to and for us, as individuals?  In today’s conversation, we take a look at sex from a very different angle.  We consider the impact in our lives of sex, as: Self Expression Xplored !

Join us and discover a new and powerful platform from which to consider yourSelf as a Being of Light and matter.  You can be sure this exploration will push some buttons and blow open the doors of your own habituated and limited thinking about sex… and about yourSelf as an expression of Light in tissue.

In conversation with: Lisa J. Weiss – WEL-Systems Institute Affiliate and Certified CODE Model Coach™ – has chosen to share her own journey of personal discovery with all of us, as she dives into the deep end of the pool of human expression of body, mind and spirit.

Founder of I of the Storm Coaching and Consulting, Lisa brings presence and passion to all that she engages, in her personal life and in her work with others.

In her own words:  ”In my journey living as a quantum biological human, I choose very differently. To actually make choices based on what is best for me in the moment and choosing not to choose when I’m not sure.“

On Thursday, February 21st, the 70th episode of Reclaiming Your Self: Women Unedited and Engaged! marks the re-launch of these provocative, compelling and life-altering explorations with women, by women and for women!  After creating an archive of  69 hours of life-changing conversations and attracting in excess of 75,000 monthly listeners; and having taken some time to reflect on the direction of a meaningful future, we are now ready to continue these journeys of discovery – with and for you! – as we wonder, together:  ”How else might I choose to live MY life, today!”

It is exciting to know that in the coming weeks and months, I will be part of truly life-altering conversations with women who dare to be more than that which they have been told to expect!  Women who are hungry to discover where that driving, inner cue will take them; and who are both willing and able to follow the path, wherever it may lead.  I know that these conversations have already moved to a higher order expression of enquiry – and I know that we’re up to them!

New episodes are scheduled to be released
the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month.

In anticipation of the release of Episode 70 with Lisa Weiss on “Let’s Talk About SEX!“,  take a moment and revisit the opening remarks from Episode 1 that framed the intention for the radio show that would  awaken and invite us all to ‘Reclaiming Your Self‘ in the good company of ‘Women Unedited and  Engaged‘!  As I listened, I could hear the underpinnings of what continues to be the platform of intention for the show.  As much as you will find that intention intact with the launch of the new shows, you’ll also notice that all has ramped up; that there is a significant acceleration in the pace at which it all moves.  Bigger explorations!  Deeper enquiries!  And a sense of the underlying interconnectedness of us all.

Take a moment and listen to what it’s all about: Overview

On Thursday, February 21st, listen to Episode 70 ~ Let’s Talk About SEX! …  and know that, as the Hawaiians would say, “It’s the same but different!”

Buckle up!  It’s going to be a great year!

Sekhmet Rising: The Restlessness of Women’s Genius

The ancient Eqyptian goddess, Sekhmet, represents what the living expression of women can be. With the body of a woman and the head of the lioness, she calls to and awakens in us the truth of our capacity to give birth, to nurture and to sustain; and reminds us that we are equally capable of going after what we want, taking what is rightfully ours and ensuring that the roar of who we are is neither lost nor forgotten. In may well be that many are long overdue for the simple act of reconnecting our heads to our bodies… and trusting that we’ll be just fine!
