    Episode 201 Time to quit watering seeds of past identities, or how we have confused numbness with pleasure

    This episode is an invitation to notice where we have confused numbness with pleasure. We've been sold and educated on false pleasure. Pleasure is meant to open us up, not close the door to the world of discomfort and false selves. Exploring why we might have been misled about what pleasure means and why it's an important element right now to help us to stop watering the seeds of the past, including our own past identities.  As we recognize where we are watering the seeds of past identities, we begin to notice our own evolution. We pay attention to the shifts we are ready for, our upgrades and we can truly nurture what is there in each moment. Then, we can turn our brightness to the unlimited nature of our true being. We release with more ease, not closing the door to our discomfort and not prolonging the stay in our divine bodies.  Host Christine shared moving through a recent painful experience and how paying attention to where she might have run a program of numbing out or distracting, instead choosing to allow enough space for the moving through and release of the physical and emotional pain. The experience led to a deeper inner standing of the nature of suffering and how we as humanity are sweeping suffering and it's attached programs from our divine bodies.  Humanity is sweeping suffering  and all manner of falsity off the table  Resetting this world  new community  laid upon a beautiful cloth  woven with golden threads shimmering with pure love Beloved, you are called  from the cave of your heart  back to this root of who you are to join the unlimited feast  ~ (art & poetry copyright Christine Pensa) Much love For more link to our showpage here; artthatmoves.ca

    Episode 200 Metaphors as the seeds calling us to the vastness of our being

    This episode is an exploration of metaphor as the sweet nectar that calls to you and allows you to discover more of the sweet, sweet nectar you are for this world.  So often a metaphor appears right in front of our eyes. Consider that it has been sent by our own hearts to point us in the direction we are longing for. The message is quiet, gently insistent asking for our attention, very different from the cacophony of the outer world banging on. If we are willing to pay attention, metaphors become these beautiful tiny seeds planted, calling us to move into more of the vastness of our being.  Which metaphors are calling to us in our own garden of the future. What seeds do we want to cultivate in order thrive, rather than just survive. Choosing is our low key superpower. Choosing allows us to notice and begin to work in alignment with nature. Choosing to hold and nurture what feels both unknown and also in a way completely and utterly known. This nectar feeds us and, at the same time, we are the nectar. We are both. We feel both in our bodies. Our bodies have the knowing. As we become more adept at tuning into that wisdom and inner standing, we operate in a lighter and yet more powerful flow with our own sacred selves.  The invitation is to notice what gently insistent metaphor is appearing right in front of your eyes. Will you answer the call to embody more of your own brilliance. You choose.  Much love Link to our showpage for all episodes here; https://www.artthatmoves.ca/podcasts/https://www.artthatmoves.ca/podcasts/

    Episode 199 You as the fulcrum of consciousness here and now

    Many of us are tuning into the incredible amplification of energy happening now. The amplification includes both the chaos and the positive frequency of our beautiful embodiment of pure love. This kind of love once seemed the purview of mystics or saints. Now, it is becoming more apparent that it is our time to embody, in whatever humble role we can, this kind of love.  We are being called to hold this space in our own lives. The call of this moment is to join the ranks of those "manning the fulcrum of consciousness" as it expands into it's next evolution, and at the same time we ARE the fulcrum. In the stillness of ourselves, we're learning to "lift" off the falsity, division, distraction and self hatred programs that need to end. We are being asked to choose, to lend our hearts to creating heaven on Earth for all living beings.  This choice is ours. Will we stand in the solidity of ourselves, our true selves connected to our Source of love. What if we all chose to use each moment of our lives as a fulcrum, not only to move into more of ourselves, but as a point of power that can lift that consciousness of all living beings into a positive high frequency.  We are here. We are legion. We are love.  When you are the still point and that fulcrum. You allow the momentum to leverage your being, you likewise allow mutual becoming, as we all open into more of our pure love. As you hold that silent solid strength of yourself, you do not effort to move mountains, they move around you as it were. Part of the distortion has been the thought form narrative that one person isn't able to make real change in this world. When you imagine yourself as the fulcrum, there is no raging against the machine, or feelings of futility. There is just a deep knowing that you are here now to stand with those lifting all living beings above the chaos simply by being who you truly are.  Thank you for being here and being a part of this incredible time on Earth.

    Episode 198 Nature's timing, let yourself flow(er) the love you are as part of our beautiful evolution

    The invitation of this episode is to notice where you are aligned, or not, with nature. Noticing your ability to tune into thriving versus survival in these times. Now is the moment to let flow, or flower, the pure love you are here to embody in this world.  Paying attention to how you are moving through your day and noticing how nature's timing can model a natural flow in each moment. Though it is also in our nature to flower, to evolve, we have a program that says, I want to get "back to health". What if instead of fighting to get back to who we were, we allowed ourselves to evolve into something more? What if we let go of that part of ourselves that wants to return to former and instead focused in the moment on what the un-preferred experience was leading us towards so we don't get the in the way of our own evolution?  I shared the lessons from a tiny apple tree and the heart opening joy of seed saving, which led me to deepen into the knowing we are here to cultivate, tend and plant new brilliant potentialities. Despite the possibility that some seeds we plant will not survive, because they don't need to, while others will thrive beyond our expectations, we continue cultivating in each moment the seeds that call to us. We move in alignment with that clarion call from our own Source, which leads to joyful creation, tears of recognition, wonder and a deep sense of knowing it is ours to do.  It is part of our beautiful evolution to tune into those seeds that are ours to plant here and now.  This poem is also one of the seeds I plant in this moment… Mountain Once upon a time you spent millennia with the silent songs inside the mountains  Your heart soars at the remembering of this home Now beloved, it's your time  to weave that love into this world  to thread the wonder of that strength into every fibre of your living  So that every living being turns toward that grace within  And connects us all once again to pure love and nothing else _ (art & poetry copyright Christine Pensa) With much love, Christine   Link to listen to all podcast episodes via the show page here; https://www.artthatmoves.ca/podcasts/

    Episode 197 Singer songwriter Sydney Jones, a deep connection to nature and the experience of presence through song

    As the Awakened Woman Self Care podcast enters season 8, it seemed fitting to have a guest join me to sing us into the next season of our becoming.  It was a joy to welcome singer-songwriter Sydney Jones to share her genre of music, which she calls, "rhythm and sunshine." Sydney applies her life experience and connectedness with nature, our limitlessness, and the importance of staying in the present moment during this time of conscious awakening. Her positive, life affirming lyrics lift and open the heart of listeners.  We talked about her latest single and how our own creative expression can be a catalyst which opens the hearts of others, allowing them to connect with their own pure note of love. She writes both the music and lyrics to her songs, and invites listeners to interpret her songs through their own inner light in whatever way opens them up to the expression of their purest essence. Each element, word, and rhythm in Sydney's songs echo her connection to, as she puts it, her "heightened sensory awareness" of the natural world around her. She explains, "it's not just like I'm appreciating the Sun, I'm really feeling those light codes. I'm really feeling the power of the Sun right now. It's a whole experience of presence." Sydney shared that the resonance of actually singing feels like the best medium through which her unique expression could come through. Writing the lyrics, the melodies and creating cover art for her work is the way she allows it to blossom through her, always spreading love through her self empowering messages and spiritually uplifting content. Sydney is at the forefront of music in these times as it was meant to express a part of who all of us are, the inclusiveness, and the sacredness of pure love.  Enjoy this longer podcast episode, which also features her latest song, "Mother Earth."  Much love and thank you for following and supporting Sydney's beautiful expression on the platforms listed below, Christine Find Sydney Jones on; Spotify Youtube Instagram Find the Lullaby series Podcast show page; https://www.artthatmoves.ca/

    Episode 196 Lessons of the cicadas, the shedding of many layers and finding your wings

    Though this past weekend in many parts of the world has been programmed to mean the end of summer, our inner knowing and nature's vibrancy would tell us otherwise. Noticing this how this lands in your own body, emotions and mental attitude is a great sacred self care practice.  During a summer full of lovely visitors, and all kinds of experiences, the cicadas came in as beautiful teachers for these powerful times of change. As I was able to witness part of their life cycle, I reflected on how the splitting open of their old world in what seemed to me a kind of backwards trust fall, was a brilliant metaphor for what we are experiencing in our human bodies.  After the cicadas shed their skin, they take time to rest and allow their beautiful green wings to open fully and dry before they were able to take flight in their new bodies. As many of us are noticing, there has been an amplification of the release of programs, and as that happens for us, there is this open space for our "wings" to come in. The invitation of the cicadas, for me, for us, was to allow time in the quiet to let those wings dry.  As we continue to move ever inward to allow more of who you truly are to be born and embodied in this world, noticing and allowing the time you need to integrate is your own powerful sacred self care. Not in alignment with the programs and patterns that have disempowered, but in alignment with your own source of pure love and the natural rhythms that are part of our journey here and now as human beings. Taking the time you need to notice what is coming through the landscape of your own being.  Much love Visit our show page for all episodes here; https://www.artthatmoves.ca/podcasts/

    Episode 195 Navigating our natural conclusions in these times

    Episode 195 Navigating our natural conclusions in these times   What are ready to walk away from and how do we move through the nuances of letting go in these times? This episode is an invitation to become present to what we are holding onto through habit, obligation or simply inattention.    As I pondered the theme of this episode, I encountered a beautiful analogy around letting go. If you as you are now walked into a room and your friend of 35 years was there, would you still be attracted to them? Imagine that is not only a person, but a place, a thing, an action, a workplace—would you still be attracted to those things if you saw them across a room now? Would you expand or contract as you interacted with any of these.   In these times, we are being called to be ever more impeccable with what we are choosing to surround ourselves with. Recognizing the lower frequencies of habit, obligation or duty around a person, place, practice or thing and inner standing that it might be time to move away in order to be more of yourself.    Walk into the room of your life right now, and notice all the things in the environment of you. Can you reconcile everything in this room with your true longing to fully embody the pure love of your own source. Notice if there is anything that diverts you from your own joyful expansion—importantly, without blame, or creating divisiveness.    Are you ready to release what you may have considered a big part of your identity so you can welcome more of you in?    Much love (for more information and episodes visit the show page at; https://www.artthatmoves.ca/podcasts/)

    Episode 194 Your natural alchemy is choosing to remember your divinity

    This episode is an exploration of what and why we become distracted by the mental, emotional or physical events that keep us small or in looping patterns, instead of choosing the bigger picture of our own divinity and natural adeptness for alchemising what shows up in our lives. As we continue to move into a deeper knowing of our own divinity, we are being called to be more impeccable with letting go of what does not serve our future/new selves. At this precious moment when we are so beautifully ripe for the next expansion into ourselves we can get distracted by things that come in to pull our attention away from that expansion. As a metaphor, when you break your toe, suddenly your baby toe becomes your whole world. It's an invitation to become aware of anything that harnesses our attention to focus only on our limitation, on our "smallness," rather than an awareness of our "vastness" or divinity.  Recognition of how and where you are doing this allows you to let go with more ease and turn your focus to your divinity which naturally "alchemises" the distraction into your personal gold. It's time to remember our divinity and see clearly our seat at the table. Noticing where and how your personal alchemy appears, and how you can use that to create a pure love soup for yourself and for this world. What is your unique recipe to bring to life here and now. It's time to share it beloved.   When remembering our divinity becomes our focus through the "toe-stubbing" then we allow our natural alchemy to come forward to nurture this world with the pure love soup that is ours to bring into material form. It's happening in the sweet silence of our true hearts. Let the alchemy of your song of wonder rise up and join in a beautiful chorus. Much love, Christine
