268: Permission to Replenish Your Radiance

When we find ourselves in a time of intensity over extended periods of time, wisdom says ... it's wise (and essential) to pause and consider what we need to cultivate, replenish and retain our life force (our energy) and radiance (our light). I'm suggesting that now is such a time ... not to pull the covers over our heads, or think one vacation will wipe away the tiredness ... but also not to keep pushing forward believing there is some magic moment all will be well or our work will be done. But instead ... we choose to stay aware and awake to what's happening in our world, while at the same time pulling our focus into our own personal ecosystem and what we need to replenish, now. Like a dusty, tired car that has been on a long journey... it actually needs more than just gas to fill up... it needs a wash, a vacum, likely some air freshner and a reprieve .... so do we.   So here's my question... what do you need in the next several weeks or months (this  summer/winter season or next 40 days) to replenish your radiance and life force ... on all 4 realms... mind, body, heart and spirit?  AND... what do you need to give yourself permission to take the time and space, to allocate the resources, and to pull back to 70% on some things, so you have that 30% to focus on what cultivates deeper reserves of energy. So you have the inner resources to create what's next - for yourself, those you guide and what matters to you in this world.  This episode #268: Permission to Replenish Your Radiance, is an intentional creative process + a full permission slip to 'do' what replenishes and lifts your spirit ... nourishes and fills your heart... clears and inspires your mind ... revitalizes and soothes your body... in the next time span of your choosing.  Consider this: When we consciously cultivate our lifeforce and radiance, we create longevity of wellbeing + the ability to dance through intensity, as a paradox and path vs. a polarity and problem to fix. Then, instead of just spending that radiance, energy and light as soon as we fill up enough ... we choose to 'condense' it...let it stir and stew and gather up power and aliveness ... choosing to spend some not all ... so come the next season, we have the energy to rise and harvest, to create. Tune in. Take a breath. Take a beat. When we root into our radiance and what is real, our path and purpose naturally unfold. And we have the energy to meet the moment and play our parts, together. with heart,  Christine p.s.
