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 energyWe would love to know how you are directing energy in your life?

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 sufferingWe 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 QUESTIONSIf 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.

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.

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 landIf you would like to learn more about Nikimbre’s wonderful work, please reach out to her on:[email protected] 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.

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.

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 changeWe would love to know how you work with how the past has shown up for you.

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 cyclesLongevity in alignment with our cyclesPractices to support our cycles?Living in harmony with seasons Rhythms of nature compounding effectsWhat 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 bleedCollective rejection of mensesFeedback and body wisdom from understanding our period cyclessacred rituals of honouring restSetting up for the day - honouring solo timePockets of focus during the dayUsing breath as a reconnection toolAllowing our personal themes to show how far we have comeLife is not straight linesHow 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.

Have you ever been excited to take a leap forward in your life but then caught yourself questioning what you are about to do and talking yourself out of doing it because it feels like you are being too bold, or stepping into something that is not for the likes of you?  Do you ever hear the same old limiting phrases about who you are and what you can do in your life swirling around your head? There are the silent judgments made up from voices of our past. We have heard these words that may have initially been coming from a protective place and the words of criticism and limitation which have become so unconscious we lose track of the fact they are not our words or thoughts. They are so ingrained we let them become the ‘voice of reason’ which keeps us from doing the things that keep us growing.Let’s talk it through together in this WHOLE Convo to help us unpick what is going on beneath the surface and remind us there is another way to approach these moments.Join us as we get into:Censoring ourselves Judgement themesIngrained voices running interferenceImportance of paying attention A part of human experience Unauthorised molding activity Continuing to change the narrative Getting quiet enough to hearIs that really me? Is that thought really mine?Reminding ourselves and support systemsBeing more than we can comprehendInterruption of our essence Shortcuts to noticing Compassion for the protections we createCompassion for origins of silent judgment and protection - while deciding our pathDeepening relationshipsQuestioning what has always been done Generational contextChallenging the road blocksWorking with the life force through our breathWe’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.

Each session is blending personal development, coaching and movement in designing a life that reflects the type of person we want to show up as in this world.During a 1:1 we work through various layers of our human experience because our lives are affected physically, emotionally, mentally, energetically and spiritually so when we are deciding to make changes and choose how we want our lives to be instead of just letting life happen to us, it works best to bring all parts of us along for the ride! We get into:Working where we are and taking it into the future Talk, coach, explore and decide how to move forward into a Conspire Breathwork sessionUtilising insight in the session Conscious and unconscious mind working together with the breath as the catalyst Determine actions and homework to take forward after the session as a way to consciously create changeThe more breath we have in our bodies the more powerfully this will be reflected in our livesPhases during the breathing portion Insight, healing, intuition Session ends with feedback A whole world awaits you within the depth of your breath and we’d love to hear your reflections :)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.

If energy is everything and everything is energy, that must include the masculine and feminine parts of who we are too?In this A WHOLE Convo pod we look into how woo woo becomes tangible in the way we express our masculine and energy in the things that we do and the way that we do them.Knowing the different ways that our energy plays out in our lives offers us a deeper level of insight into the ways we interact with the world around us and our expectations of it.We talk about the ways that energy as an abstract idea becomes very real when we get to grips with:What masculine and feminine energy isEnergy potential for experiential harmony Understanding how energy works A sign of the times - high masculine energy expressed womenPatriarchy demonising the expression of feminine energy traitsMeasuring success in masculine traitsSafety as a baseline for feminine energy expressionTangible output of energy overly expressedThe importance of energy characteristicsFoundation of creating the life we want to liveHarmony in relationshipsJuly celebrationsThe Abu Dhabi lifeFinishing school with a bebeWhat are your connections to feminine and masculine energy?  We would love to hear in the comments 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.

Part OneSome of the best things in life can’t always be explained or proved via experiments and scientific principles and yet they are magical and powerful for the effect they have on our lives. Trying tools that are off the beaten path can lead us to profound discoveries that bring healing, understanding and a richness and depth to life that is bigger than what may be accepted in the mainstream.So many wonderful alternative tools enhance our lives because they are based in ancient wisdom.

This is a juicy one! A WHOLE Convo dedicated to the power of nature, Ayurveda and our June celebration!Modern living has seen us lose touch with nature, our ancient roots of living with the land  even though having a healthy dose of the good stuff is intrinsic in not only helping us find and maintain harmony, but also as an essential key to healing and wellbeing.What is your relationship to nature?  How much space do you hold sacred in your life to stay topped up with the medicine of the natural world?Let’s look into this a little more in this Convo where we get into:Tribal rootsThe root of healingAncient vitality Dis-ease from disconnection to the landNatural vs stressful ways to existIncluding more natureRespectful harmony with modern livingNature’s healing powerConscious responsibility Ritual and ceremonyUniversal heritage Ayurveda elemental medicine and individual harmonyConsciousness and personal powerMagnifying the calm of natureWe would LOVE for you to join us in taking a moment to celebrate yourself for June.  Think back to something epic that you have done in your past and acknowledge how wonderful it is to have that memory of you.We’d love to know what you thought of this month to celebrate you.

In this instalment of A WHOLE Convo we consider how relationships that are not right for us have a deeper impact on our wellbeing.Behaviours that we may have become accustomed to may also be leaving an adverse imprint on who we are. This Convo is a reminder that we have the power to honour the feeling that ‘something is off’ because if it feels that way it has the ability to show up detrimentally on deeper levels of our experience.Come on this exploration as we discuss:Disempowering people in our livesFinding healing from toxicity The evolution of unacceptable behaviour Toxic traits vs toxic people - separating the act from the personWhat is a toxic traitWhen to take stockLiving by our valuesQuestioning and awarenessHonouring our inner responsibility The ‘Ripple Effect’ of miraclesOur part in the ‘toxic dynamic’Every circumstance is unique We invite you to consider the following questions to help you to look a little deeper into those dynamics in your life that don’t feel quite right to you:Does this make me feel empowered?Does this make me feel good?Do I want this?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.

Welcome to this instalment in the A WHOLE Convo Podcast series where we open a conversation on why our wellbeing is significant in the creation of a life well lived.In a modern age where the conversation about wellbeing is being had more openly we are becoming more aware of the value of taking care of our internal experience as human beings. Talk of mental health for example has a wider platform than it ever has in the past, and yet we may not give the level of attention to the broader impact of consistently modelling commitment to wellbeing.Inspiration and a desire to tend to our wellbeing often comes when we reach crisis point, and once crisis is averted it is tempting to let our attention to wellbeing fall to the wayside. The health of our internal world will however show up in the way we navigate life and our communication with others.Join us in this WHOLE Convo (- it is jam packed!) as we consider:Cleaning up generational wellbeingThe feedback conscious wellbeing createsUnhealed parts of usChildren as the very best teachersWellbeing as the responsibility of our lifetimeChoices in addressing or overlooking personal shortcomingsThe framework parents create for wellbeing Our responsibility to do ‘the work’Cultural influence on our wellbeing legacyTaking on individual responsibility for our wellbeing legacyInner responsibility for elevating our wellbeing for better vitality and DNA patterning The luxury of wellnessBlueprints of beliefDeserving wellbeingGood girl programming Imprints and expectations A world based on wellbeing firstWe’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.

There was a time when being suspected of being a witch was the worst thing that could happen to you. Yet here we are celebrating the possibilities of our witchy gifts.Join us in A WHOLE Convo as we explore the power and potential of using words consciously to affect who we are, and the creation of the world we live in.Claiming back our power to cast spells means we can put to use the significance of the thoughts we think on repeat and the effectiveness of our communication to support and uplift us through our words.In this Convo this week we look at:The creative power of wordsEnergy in words and communicationYmane’s memories of witchy funMagic in possibilityOwning personal responsibility with words and thoughtsEmpowerment v.s suppression with our wordsReclaiming the words we speak and carry as spellsPresence with the thoughts we place on repeatCatching ourselves in the actCheat codes to our experience and resultsSimple, continual creation with wordsModelling care with words for younger peopleJournal PromptsAs promised in the episode here are some journal prompts for you to ponder on how the ways you may be casting spells without realising it:How much attention do I usually pay to my words?Which words have had the most lasting impact on me?How have these words affected me?What have I made them mean about who I am and what I can do with my life?What are the words of limitation I repeat to myself?Which words lift me up and make me feel excited about who I am and what I can do?What would be different for me if I took more care with the words I think on repeat, and the words I used to communicate?Which steps will I take to help make this change in my day to day use of words and language?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.
