#12 Resistance, Surrendering and Starting my Reiki Journey

September 23, 2019

I dive deep in this one! I recorded this with tea, candles and a blanket. I suggest you do the same: get cozy and join me for this heart to heart. 🙂 After my Reiki Level 1 course, I felt really called to catch you up on my (spiritual) journey. The topics of resistance and surrendering kept coming up during the course ~ as well as throughout the past few months for me. How can we navigate resistance, both from within ourselves as from other people around us? How can we protect our energy whilst sitting with the negativity too? Why can it be SO HARD to surrender to these emotions?

In this episode, I take you on this journey with me ~ from (veryyy) personal stories to connecting with the new moon in Libra. I hope through my words and energy, you will find inspiration and medicine. In this time of ‘go go go’, where ‘being busy’ is a signifier for a ‘fulfilled’ life, I think it is so powerful and important to listen more to what we are resisting. Reiki is absolutely perfect for that, since it will go deep into your energetic body. It teaches you that everything in itself is perfect. Everything is allowed to be felt. Everything is allowed to take up space. Through sitting with resistance, we will be able to surrender and expand. ~ If you feel triggered by this episode (or inspired!), don’t hesitate and reach out to people close to you or to me personally. Send me a DM on Instagram, @thespiritualfem. You are always supported.

~ Don’t forget to subscribe! There is a new episode waiting for you every fortnight.

~ Join the community on Instagram ~ and let me know what you thought of this episode! I would love to hear from you.

~ Music credits go to www.purple-planet.com.

The Spiritual Fem is an online platform and a safe space for women who’d like to dive deeper into feminism, spirituality and womanhood ~ but simply don’t know where to begin. As a Spiritual Feminist, I believe that connecting to spirituality can give you a deeper experience of life. This podcast is about exploring that connection within ourselves and with everything around us. I hope you will leave this episode feeling inspired and reconnected to your female fire.

~ Nothing is missing, you are already whole. Everything you need, you already carry within you.

Do you feel like your can prioritise your nervous system? 👀⁠ ⁠ Our world is filled with external stimuli, pressures, dependencies and expectations. This makes it hard for us to fully relax, let alone feel a deep connection with ourselves! 😑⁠ ⁠ Society is build in such a way (whether we like it or not) that we don't ever (have to) stop. And when that falls away - we go into a collective state of panic. ⁠ ⁠ This is because our collective root Chakra (yes, there is a shared energetic system we're a part of!) has been shaped over the years to find safety in external resources, such as money, technology, time efficiency and appearances. ⁠ ⁠ Our collective energetic body has become dependant on resources that we don't have as much control over as we once thought, & this directly affects our individual nervous system, which is still wired from when we lived in caves, hunted for food and had to prioritise our primal survival. ⁠ ⁠ 🤩 HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS! : ⁠ You have the agency, power and ability to change this narrative.⁠ ⁠ Healing your own individual root Chakra, and thus your sense of safety, focus on control and beliefs around money, appearance and any other external resource will allow you to rebalance and nourish your nervous system in the way that you need to. ⁠ ⁠ This is not about distancing yourself from the world. This is about reshaping your vision of how the world is actually here to serve you. ⁠ ⁠ Want to learn more? 🔍⁠ ⁠ Inner Alchemy, the in-depth 4 month journey, guiding you towards becoming your own Energy Healer, is soon opening for its second round and you can now sign up to the waitlist! ⁠ ⁠ This means you'll be the first to be able to sign up (and spots are incredibly limited, so it's first come first serve) as well as receive a couple of sweet deals as a thank you for your interest. ⁠ ⁠ Check the link in my bio or story highlight to sign up - and let's heal your energy together! 🧡

It's the Solstice tomorrow, marking the transition from light to dark yet again. I absolutely love the cyclicality of all that is around and within us - it is absolute number 1 thing that always brings me back to concepts of inner wisdom, intuition, trust and flow. 🙏🏼⁠ ⁠ I'll be taking a moment tomorrow to lean into celebrating both the light and the dark, the yin and yang, the stillness and wildness... 💫⁠ ⁠ And speaking of which - we only have a couple of spaces left for the Still Mind, Wild Heart retreat this September in Portugal! ⁠ I took this photo at our beautiful location @theshantispace and I can't wait to gather in ceremony with you underneath this beautiful tree in a few months. 😍⁠ ⁠ Are you keen to join me for an intentional, spiritual, connective and nourishing journey back home to your wild heart? ⁠ Check the link in bio for all the details & how to book your spot! ⁠ ⁠ And in the meantime, happy Solstice! 🌗⁠ ⁠ With love, ⁠ Leneth x

This week, I uploaded a personal podcast episode in which I explore the concept of freedom together with you. 🧡⁠ ⁠ I believe that freedom doesn't have as much to do with external circumstances, environment or money in the bank as we may think. 🤔⁠ I'm leaning more towards it being a feeling, a decision, an exploration. 💫⁠ ⁠ I've learned that what is often standing in the way of me feeling free is expectations and pressures I put on myself. Restrictions created by the ego which limit me connecting to my heart, my desires, and my physical body - all through which inner wisdom and empowerment flow. 👀⁠ ⁠ You can find the podcast episode through the link in my bio (or just search The Spiritual Feminist in your fave podcast app, it's episode 106).🎙️⁠ ⁠ Let me know in a comment below how you're leaning into freedom, how you currently may be experiencing it or what's standing in the way of it. I'd love to hear your musings! 🥰

Ever find yourself completely overwhelmed with external pressures, stimuli and opinions? 🙇🏼‍♀️⁠ ⁠ I feel you sister. 🧡⁠ ⁠ Now I invite you to imagine yourself, six months from now, having taken back the agency over your own energy, opinions, nervous system & identity. 😍⁠ You are rooted in who you are, where you're headed and what your intuition is telling you. ⁠ You understand your triggers, wounds and patterning and every day you get to release a little piece of that. ⁠ ⁠ Sounds too good to be true? ⁠ I don't think so! I truly believe we are all worthy of feeling autonomous over where our energy goes, where our attention goes and how we feel about ourselves. Including you. 🔥⁠ ⁠ & this is where Inner Alchemy can come in. The waitlist is NOW open for this exciting 4 months journey in which you learn to become your own energy healer. Learn more about it and sign up for a sweet deal through the link in bio - doors open soon! 💫

Nothing frustrates our rationalised mindset more than surrendering into the cyclicality of your Being, and thus your healing. 🤐⁠ ⁠ Ever feel like you're stuck with a limiting belief, a recurring pattern, an anxious thought or depressive moment? 😑⁠ ⁠ Perhaps it's time to approach your healing journey a little more holistically. To look at your nervous system, your energetic body, and all that you're carrying around unknowingly that is weighing you down. 🙏🏼⁠ ⁠ Inner Alchemy is the unique 4-month journey in which you learn to become your own energy healer. You will gain tools for life that will help you with returning patterns and thoughts that just don't seem to be going anywhere (and soooo much more!) 🧡⁠ ⁠ The waitlist is NOW open, so check the link in bio and sign up for a sweet deal when the doors open (soon!). x
