    Where Attention Goes Your Energy Flows - The Power of Your Intention

    Here at A WHOLE Convo we talk a lot about intention and how significant being intentional is in living a conscious deliberate life. Join us in this Convo to get into what it means to intentionally breathe life what we are doing in our day to day lives, because it matters. From the most mundane to the most sublime, having awareness that not only what we do, but the way we do what we do matters. Our intention has an effect on our direct experience whether we realise it or not, and we invite you to take some reflection time with us because there is power in this truth. We breathe life into the ideas below through this Convo: The wheels of creation - pink elephantsWorrying thoughts create things to worry aboutHow we think about life creates what we live through Breathing life into our thoughtsThought processes are easily forgottenWhat am I breathing life into and magnifying?Shifting perspectives changes experiences Inserting energy into our livesWhat can I make it mean?Accountability for our perspectivesFocusing the sunlight of our energy We would love to know how you are directing energy in your life? Fill us in below in the comments 🙂 We’d love to hear from you in the comments below, and if you would like to get in touch with us you can reach us on our socials: Ymane Lakhlif https://www.instagram.com/mindbodyveda?igsh=MWFuZWk1aTBkM21ocw== Ella L.

    Does Living in Alignment With Who You Are REALLY Matter?

    Here at A WHOLE Convo we are proponents of putting wellbeing at the forefront of how we live in order to elevate the quality of life we experience. For us that quality of life touches all aspects of life - mental, emotional, physical, energetic, practical and spiritual. All of it matters. In this Convo we talk about the impact of going against our innate nature, the things that help us feel the most like ourselves. Pushing against or ignoring our inner truth and living in a way that rubs against what constitutes who we deeply are as individuals holds consequences that go beyond simply having to do something that we don’t love.  While exploring this idea we get into: The weight of expectationEffects of what is not correct for usCorrelation on health and vitalityThe ‘easy’ option over the ‘hardship and challenge’ of alignmentSpirit first Stretching to meet alignment The draw of financial security Depletion of energy and spiritAcknowledgement of spirit Separation of our experienceChoose your hardshipGrowing pains versus pain of suffering We would love you to join us in a deeper reflection of how aligned living can show up for you with more intention. Here are some questions to ponder on: REFLECTION QUESTIONS If there are two choices I have to make today knowing and embracing that each will bring hardship, can I make the choice that I know is more aligned with my south, truth, joy and spirit? What feels like it’s challenging me to stretch and grow versus keeping me contained and causing a pain where I feel more disconnected from myself? What do you want your life to look like as you look back? Do you want this reflection and looking back at the choice you made to represent you in the most expanded, lit up, most beautiful representation of you, or do you want something else? We’d love to hear from you in the comments below, and if you would like to get in touch with us you can reach us on our socials: Ymane Lakhlif https://www.instagram.com/mindbodyveda?igsh=MWFuZWk1aTBkM21ocw== Ella L.

    To Morning Routine, or to Not Morning Routine?

    What is your approach to mornings?  Is it something that you have given consideration to? Are you a person who deliberately sets up how you start your days or do you find the day happening to you? Whether or not you would call yourself a morning person, what we do when we get up will have an impact on how the day progresses. The more thought and intention we put in will bring back more thought and intention into what we get out. We take morning routines into consideration in this Convo. How much, what and why they have the potential to turn a day into a good and better day over time. We think it matters to who we are and how we experience life that we say yes to taking time (no matter how short that may be) to start the day intentionally. Get into this Convo with us:  Structure to starting the dayWellness culture dictating health and vitalityRituals over strict parametersWellbeing in the bigger pictureRoutines that promote harmonyAnchoring your daySpace, breath and movement for expansionResponsiveness to the seasonMeeting ourselves where we areHonouring the variances of lifeWhy do we create our morning routines?Coming from the inside outBringing intention into the dayConnecting mind, body and spiritSharing from overflow instead of depletionThe length doesn’t matterI’m important enough to start the day focused on meStart forcing them? Do you have morning practices and routines?  We would LOVE to hear more about them from you below 🙂 We’d love to hear from you in the comments below, and if you would like to get in touch with us you can reach us on our socials: Ymane Lakhlif https://www.instagram.com/mindbodyveda?igsh=MWFuZWk1aTBkM21ocw== Ella L.

    Get in Bed With Your Plants! Meet Special Guest Nikimbre Daniels & The Power of Plant Relations

    Things are getting spicy at WHOLE HQ today as we welcome our very first guest to the Convo in the form of the most wonderful herbalist, naturalist and heart led woman of mystery 😉 Nikimbre Daniels. Nikimbre is on a soul lead mission to share with the world the power of creating, learning from and nurturing our relationships with the life giving plants. From an early age Nikimbre was drawn to the beauty of plants whilst growing up on her family's land in Northern Texas where she was also exposed to the wisdom of the land. In 2020 after having spent much of her life working in the world of plants she returned to her family’s land and spent time reconnecting with it and herself via the intuitive whispers of the plants around her. This opened up insights for her to bring her deeply held inner knowing and connection with plants and nature to the world through the classes she was guided to share with others.  These classes are an invitation for us as human beings to take responsibility for the impact we have with the natural world through our understanding of what plants offer us and what we in turn must offer them in return. We are so excited about the beauty of Nikimbre’s message and the passion with which she brings her wisdom to light. There are so many powerful words shared through this Convo as we get into: Ymane and Nikimbre meeting on the farmPlant relations - in symbiosis and land trust  Connection to plantsGrowing up at one with and having relationship with landWalking in alignment as an exampleReciprocity - balancing plants and landPlants giving lifeThe difference between plant relations and botanyIntuition and rememberingSecret keepersReturning to the heartspace and compassionExpanding humanity stepping out of logistically focusRevolution of tending to the heartspaceFirst steps in building plant relationships Supporting in relationships over forcingPlant relationships reflected in life‘Sleeping with plants’ - bringing them into your bed!Potency of herbal teasMindfulness of who we source fromWays relationships with plants enhance our livesGifting back to the land If you would like to learn more about Nikimbre’s wonderful work, please reach out to her on: nikimbre.daniels@gmail.com where you can join her newsletter and go deeper into the much needed power of our relationship with plants. What were the most potent parts of this Convo for you? 🌱 We’d love to hear from you in the comments below, and if you would like to get in touch with us you can reach us on our socials: Ymane Lakhlif https://www.instagram.com/mindbodyveda?igsh=MWFuZWk1aTBkM21ocw== Ella L.

    Energy Never Lies

    It is always around and within us, mixed into everything we do whether or not we are aware of it. When we recognise and tap into the information it gives us consciously and unconsciously we can see how accurate the information is because it never ever lies! We are constantly picking up on the energy of our surroundings, the people we meet, the events and places we interact with and they all hold their own particular energetic frequencies and vibrations. Although unseen, they have a way of announcing themselves to us through the magic sixth sense of our own energy bodies which is our sensory understanding of life. Not many of us are taught how to read this wisdom even though we may find ourselves responding to it. What would happen and how different would your life be if you trusted what you instinctively felt about the world and people around you? Let’s get into the WHOLE Convo where we touch on: Taking inventoryThings not feeling rightUnspoken energy exchangeLogic interruptionExpansion vs contractionAwareness magnifyness understandingUnlearning separation to remember energyOpening our human experience Spectrums of energyLooking for the examples and what they meant to youLet us  know your dances with energy and how they ended being proved right or wrong :) We’d love to hear from you in the comments below, and if you would like to get in touch with us you can reach us on our socials: Ymane Lakhlif https://www.instagram.com/mindbodyveda?igsh=MWFuZWk1aTBkM21ocw== Ella L.

    Take The Weather With You (You Take Yourself Everywhere You Go)

    We always take ourselves with us wherever we go. The good and easy to be with parts of us that we like and enjoy as well as the not so easy to handle parts of who we are that feel testing for us. If we are disconnected from this reality the heavy to hold parts inevitably become burdensome especially when they show up in unwanted behaviours or outbursts that lead to feelings of disappointment and regret. The beauty of knowing that regardless of what we try and change on the outside to mask our internal weather is that if we look within ourselves and take ownership of the storms by consciously working through them we invite the kinds of climates that make us feel good whatever they may personally be. What a wonderful part of being human; remembering our power to affect change on any of the trials that we may experience in life! Our Convo covers: We shape how we feelRoot causesBeing conscious and intentional about working through our pastLayers of our life experienceAyurvedic concept of budi - mistakes of the intellect Decisions and choices in our livesAwarenessFree flow of breathFilters of perception How do I want to tackle what I’m feeling?Crystalising events of our pastIs there an event in my past that is still impacting me now?It may not seem that big looking back….Integration and wholenessKindness and compassion in making change We would love to know how you work with how the past has shown up for you. Please share with us in the comments along with any questions or observations you have Stay tuned for more episodes each Monday morning.

    Cyclical Living & The Cycles of Self

    We are surrounded by cycles as part of our everyday lives. These cyclical rhythms are reflected within our bodies and the way that we work as well as the power of nature moving through its seasons. Laws of human life offer us opportunities to flourish and recharge ourselves especially when we recognise where in our personal process we are and how to borrow the wisdom and deeper lessons of each phase. In this Convo we get into: Industrial and circadian cycles Longevity in alignment with our cycles Practices to support our cycles? Living in harmony with seasons  Rhythms of nature compounding effects What can I do to better align with nature? Embracing and honouring the power of rest, winter time and evolving seasons including our own  Menstrual cycles and curation of the bleed Collective rejection of menses Feedback and body wisdom from understanding our period cycles sacred rituals of honouring rest Setting up for the day - honouring solo time Pockets of focus during the day Using breath as a reconnection tool Allowing our personal themes to show how far we have come Life is not straight lines How easy do you find it to be tapped into cyclical living?  We’d love to hear from you :) We’d love to hear from you in the comments below, and if you would like to get in touch with us you can reach us on our socials: Ymane Lakhlif https://www.instagram.com/mindbodyveda?igsh=MWFuZWk1aTBkM21ocw== Ella L.
