In Flow with Natalie (formerly, The Finding Sessions) is my space to share reflections on life, creativity, and presence.  After leaving a busy professional career, I’m now embracing movement, photography, art, and yoga—both as a teacher and a student—as ways to connect more deeply with myself and the world around me.  When I began this podcast, I felt that learning more about myself was like a search for answers ('finding myself')... and wanted to share the journey, but I have come to realize that most of my discoveries have come from taking time (and space) to get to know myself more. I came to realize that most of my discoveries happened when I stopped searching quite so hard, and simply gave myself space to reflect.  Allowing space -  finding 'flow', has helped me to make a little more room for life to unfold,  and in doing so, I've come to discover far more about myself.  Through personal stories and guided meditations, I hope to offer moments of calm, inspiration, and self-discovery. And ultimately, I hope it offers a few soft moments for you to reflect, maybe feel something that resonates, and perhaps even encourages you to explore something new in your own life.  You can also find my photography and  messages of positivity on Instagram @inflowwithnatalie. My wish for you, always, is to live in positivity, health, and harmony. Natalie

    #64 Positive Affirmations from A to Z (Meditation)

    Wouldn’t it be great if every single one of us believed in ourselves, believed that we have the power to design the life we want?  I believe that there’s far more possibility for this kind of power (and potential for change) within us,  than many of us may realize. And it begins with surrounding yourself with positivity, being open, and curious, to experiences that bring you closer to what you really want, and to walk away from negativity, ill thoughts, and even energies around you, (including those from others), that can take away those positive feelings of possibility.  I’ve recently been  practising meditations that include  positive affirmations as reminders of all of the wonderful blessings we can have in our lives if we are open to them. and in many ways, we already have so many blessings that we often don’t even appreciate. Gratitude is an important part of happiness, and it is also a change- maker.  So I thought I’d have a little fun with this meditation that I created - with positive affirmations from A-to-Z. There’s an introduction included with the first episode #64, and I’ve released a second version without the introduction, for those who want to revisit the meditation anytime. And as I was listening to this before hitting the “publish” button, I was sitting in my garden with the bees and the sounds of the birds and just looking around as I listened to the words, and it felt right.   This meditation is fantastic to do on waking in the morning, or before you turn in at night, but you can also play at any time of day to receive  calm, positive words of possibility. Believe in yourself every day. Believe that good things are meant for you and they will come.  I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for Listening!

    #63 What Does Abundance Mean to You?

    What does abundance mean to you? I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and wondering if we've gotten the idea of abundance all wrong.  Maybe it isn't about having more, but about being open to the good things that are already available to us - and allowing ourselves to feel worthy of receiving them.  In this episode, I share my thoughts on gratitude, scarcity, and the ways we sometimes limit ourselves without even realizing it.  Join me.

    #62 You Are Exactly Where You Need to Be

    Do fleeting moments from our past tell us something about who we are?  the other day I was laying on my mat after doing daily physio and began to experience random memories from my childhood.  Pleasant ones.  Memories from times when I was just doing what felt natural, without a thought in the world.... and I thought, that's who I was then.  and I began to wonder, if we think back to those moments in our lives when we experienced natural curiosity, wonder and awe, and pure joy in doing something we naturally gravitated toward as children, does that tell us something about who we are today?   I also reflect on the fact that "we are exactly where we need to be", where we are meant to be.  And how, no matter what path I've taken, I know its the right one, and letting go of outcomes, and allowing the "ultimate goal" to soften a little may just open us up to arriving to where we are meant to be.  This reflection was just for fun, not overthought... and I offer it as an invitation for you to reflect on some of the ideas I mention.  And it's not just about the past.... what if we allow ourselves to imagine all the wonderful feelings we can experience in a future, yet unknown, but that includes the fullness of those feelings of joy, curiosity, awe and wonder?   Thanks for Listening!

    #61 Sharing Morning Thoughts - Be Like a Baby!

    Sometimes we spend so much time looking for complicated answers that we forget about the basics. In this short reflection, I share a simple thought that made me laugh one morning: maybe, once in a while, we should be a little more like babies. Sleep, nourishment, feeling safe, and taking care of ourselves might be a better place to begin than we think. Feel free to share your thoughts on this, or any other episode with me!  Thanks for Listening! I appreciate you taking the time to listen.  If you enjoy it, please follow the show,  and review it.

    #60 - From Finding to Flow: Why I'm Renaming My Podcast

    In this episode, I talk about why I created this podcast, some of the fears I had in doing so - about being vulnerable and sharing my real thoughts, and how overcoming the fear helped me gain more courage to be me.  The doubts still come and go, and I suppose that is part of the process.  I also share the ultimate theme that runs through all of these different episodes, and why my intro always starts the same way, and why I end with that same ending each time.  And ultimately, I share what I have discovered about myself from feeling like this personal journey was about "finding" the answers I was looking for, to discovering that those answers are inside... when you start "allowing" yourself to just be... allowing life to flow, without trying to control it.   This led me to a decision to change the name of this podcast.  So this is the final episode under this name, but.. the podcast will not change... just the name.  Change is  a good thing.   Thanks for Listening!

    #59 - The Invisible Truth

    This one is a little different from my usual.... the title may, or may not, reveal its content.  I recorded this while thinking about life in the wee hours of the morning, and how sometimes we can fall back into the old patterns of the past... that create emotions we don't want to feel.   Emotions are not always truth.... they often come from the stories we tell ourselves. While my hope is that we can all begin to know our true selves more, love ourselves, make peace with the past, and live in the present (and look forward to the future and the unknown possibilities that exist for us), I offer this short personal message for anyone who has slipped into a feeling of being unseen... feeling misunderstood or unnoticed for who you really are.   I offer it because I want each of us to know,.... we are seen. And know that deep within, you have the ability to see yourself, love yourself and understand the beauty within.  Thanks for Listening!

    #58 - Open Your Heart to Possibility — A Talk & Meditation

    In this episode, I share my reflections on the idea that miracles, healing, and meaningful change may be more possible than we think. After all, our very existence is its own kind of miracle.  This talk explores the importance of becoming open to possibility as a first step toward healing — not just physical healing, but emotional healing, finding that inner calm, balance, self-discovery, and a deeper sense of connection with yourself. Following the talk, I guide you through a beautiful, calming meditation designed to help you settle your nervous system, open your heart, and reconnect with a sense of peace, love, trust, and possibility for your life — whatever healing may mean for you.  I hope you enjoy it!  Thanks for Listening! I appreciate you taking the time to listen.  If you enjoy it, please follow the show,  and review it. If you think someone else may enjoy it, please share. I welcome you to follow me on my Instagram, where I also share my photography and positive thoughts for the day!   @inflowwithnatalie  "My wish for you is to live in positivity, health & harmony"
