I want this space to feel like after-dinner talks or late-night hot drinks sitting side by side on rocking chairs. The kind of relationship where you can stop what you’re doing and say ”Look at the moon!” One that feels sincere and uncomplicated, not performative. Real, reciprocated, cultivated. I’m thinking long-term, also witty, with a pinch of pettiness, one that can hold deep dives and light stuff, slow or lazy AF. Snail energy. The feeling you get with exciting conversations, or when you start something new but with the familiarity or experience and comfort a long-term relationship brings.

    Floating into Oneness

    I've spent some days by the sea recently, and this particular body of water was very gentle and generous, warm, colorful, calm. And something really curious started happening as it was kind of almost unfolding. I was in the water floating. It was very easy to float, I guess, because it was very salty. And I went into kind of a meditative state, I would say. And as I was looking at the tiny waves coming up and down, I almost noticed the boundary between the water and the air was none. And for a split second, I started to feel the oneness of everything. I kind of almost merged to the whole. Because as I was also in the water, I was a part of that whole. And since the boundaries were meshing kind of blending with each other every time I saw that little wave coming up to the sky almost it was one and the same. The curious thing is that it was different in the quality of the ingredient, so to speak, the quality of the, yeah, the ingredient, I would say, but it was the same thing with a different flavor of it, if that makes sense. Have you ever had these instances in which you merge with a whole and you almost lose your sense of being in separation? Not completely because I still felt I was myself and I was in a body. But that unique experience almost like an open-eye meditation. I would love to hear your experiences about that. Because I think that's a little key to a whole portal of a different depth in experiencing life. What do you think?

    The Imperceptible Transformation

    This week, I engaged in two conversations with friends and observed a subtle yet profound transformation within them. It was a kind of maturing or quickening that seemed almost imperceptible, much like the gradual changes you notice in a child only when you step back and reflect. In these moments, I realized how this transformation is something you can't plan for. It’s a natural process, akin to the cycles of life: creation, maintenance, and destruction. While we often set goals and intentions, true maturation and consolidation happen autonomously, beyond our direct control. This episode delves into the timeless quality of our soul's evolution, the ever-present inner critic, and the relentless cheerleader within us. Join me as I explore the importance of perspective and becoming an observer to truly acknowledge these milestones in our lives and the lives of those around us.

    Embracing the Emotional Wave: A Path to Sustainable Business

    In this enlightening episode, we delve into the concept of the emotional wave and its impact on business and energy sustainability. Inspired by a thought-provoking post from David Bedrick, we explore how creative and highly sensitive individuals can reframe their understanding of emotional fluctuations. Rather than viewing these waves as obstacles, we discuss how accepting and harmonizing with them can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling business life. We share personal experiences and insights on how to navigate the highs and lows of energy cycles without self-judgment. By embracing the natural ebb and flow of emotions, we discover new ways to support our unique needs and create a business environment that thrives on these dynamic energy patterns. Join the conversation and reflect on your own experiences with the emotional wave. Have you found a way to harmonize with your energy cycles? How do you relate to the idea of balancing versus unshaming? Your insights and stories are welcomed as we collectively seek a path to peace and sustainability in our professional lives.   Join www.francamunoz.com

    Navigating the Abyss: Finding Nourishment in Menopausal Transitions

    Last week, I shared with my community the profound impact of mood swings during menopause, perimenopause, and post-menopause. It's not just a fleeting feeling but can feel like a slingshot into the abyss, leading to a shutdown mode devoid of vitality. I struggled during this period and was unprepared for its challenges. However, the support and shared experiences from other women made me realize that we don't have to navigate this journey alone. We often overlook how menopause affects highly sensitive people, creativity, and spirituality. Personally, connecting with spirit becomes difficult during these times of shutdown. This time around, I embraced the void instead of rushing out of it, viewing it as a seed planted deep in the dark. It’s a place of preservation and detachment, much like shutting out the summer sun to find a cooler, more settled room. My therapist’s question, "What will feel nourishing right now?" has become a mantra. Nourishment can take many forms, whether it's binge-watching Netflix, drinking more water, or simply being a good friend to yourself. I created a playlist to accompany you during these moments, designed to sit with you rather than solve the problem. I'm also working on a PDF with resources that have been incredibly helpful during this transition. You can listen to the playlist NOURISHING in SHUT DOWN on Spotify. Meanwhile, I invite you to connect with others, even if you feel like isolating yourself. Many of us are on this journey, finding our new becoming. This is an individual journey, but we can do it together.   Sending you all my love. Until next time. Thank you.   Join www.francamunoz.com
