Heart Portal

Friends, Welcome back to the podcast. Today, we explore 3 amplifiers or requirements for your expansion - all rooted in the idea of being fully present. Your journey of expansion will require you to introduce and explore 3 things, each an amplifier for your journey: 1. Surrender as am Amplifier -- we talked about letting go of reaching for what was or what will be as an amplifier for your expansion. I offered you questions to explore when it comes to surrender. 2. Pleasure as an Amplifier -- yup good old fashion, feel good, joy. What makes you feel good, what gets your heart beating, where do you lose yourself or get inspired by. Kids really were on to something when they would get lost in the pleasures of day to day life. 3. Gratitude as an Amplifier -- gratitude truly is a fast track t the present moment and makes you incredibly magnetic to more to be grateful for! Take a listen. If this is something you want to go deeper on, I invite you to join us inside The Heart Portal Digital Studio [https://www.soulbody.co/the-heart-portal]. Breathwork has been one of the most powerful tools in my toolkit for meeting, and pushing past the edges that I’ve met on my journey. We meet for live online breathwork sessions 4x per month and can access hundreds of recorded session ranging from 90-seconds to 75 minutes inside the digital portal.  If you are unsure if breathwork is for you, I have a free 5 day breathwork challenge [https://soulbody-shop.teachable.com/p/breathwork-challenge] to get your feet wet with the practice.  If this episode resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you could subscribe and leave a review as it goes a long way in this podcasting world!

Friends, how are you as we turn the corner into September?  As the month changes over inside The Heart portal digital studio we change our focus from the energetic theme of Your Edges to Expansion SZN. If you are like wtf are you talking about, each month inside the digital studio we explore an energetic theme, we stay with the theme for the duration of the month so we can deepen into it each week rather than hopping from topic to topic. I’ve decided to play with taking a similar approach to the podcast and see how it feels.  September brings with it a new and amplified energy of excitement and activation. Like it’s time to assess how far we’ve come, recalibrate to where we are going and to start making moves in a big way. It’s like the party energy of August is over and now it’s time to get down to business. I almost look at September as an energetic new year. So, let’s explore expansion season and how we can harness the energy to supercharge our desires. When you think about the word expansion, what do you think about?  And, when it comes to expanding into your life what does that bring up?  Let’s take a step back so we can take one forward. Last month we explored our edges, those sticky moments, actions and reactions that meet us on the edge of what we know, the borders of our comfort zone. The ‘resistance’ we face before we step into something, or make moves in our lives. In the last episode, I invited you to explore what sat beyond your edges, who you were without them, as you moved through them and beyond them. Truthfully, what’s on the other side of your edge is growth – a new path, a new way, a new level, a new perspective, a new life – an expanded version of who you once were and often a version of you that, until the moment you  moved beyond your edge, you never knew could exist. * What are you being called to expand into in this next season of your life?  * Where are you looking to experience the most growth?  * Where are you looking to deepen your experience of fully expressing yourself?  * Where are you looking to push the edges of possibility for yourself over the next 4 months?

As we close out the month of August and we close out one energetic theme and begin the switch to the next, this episode is going to be a short and crispy one. September inside The Heart Portal digital Studio marks the start of EXPANSION SZN. So as we close out the month where we explored our edges, today’s episode focuses on Beyond your edges.  Theoretically, sometimes we spend so much time spiraling around, bumping up against and backing away from, repeating  the story of our edge that we lose sight of or our bearings with what’s beyond it – the vision of who you are beyond that edge.  So my invitation to you in this episode is to explore that. Who you are beyond your edges. And I’m going to offer you some food for thought and some exercises on how to do that.  Remember this.. Sometimes we spend so much time in the struggle or the resistance or the chaos that we lose sight of what we want, our desire, the vision, what we are moving for in the first place. The edge provides comfort, because it keeps us safely in the confines of where were are – the known. But you know that’s not where you are heading, that what you desire isn’t in te know because you wouldn’t long for it if it was.  So let’s play with exploring who you are beyond your edges.

How is your heart today?  If you’ve been on this journey with me over the last few weeks, we’ve talked about meeting edges. Those sticky points we bump up against over and over until we are able to shift something to move through them. Edges are laced in fear, deep rooted beliefs that we’ve likely outgrown, old perspectives and all the usual suspects that keep us stuck or spiralling.  The first step [https://open.spotify.com/episode/1n0MpxpbLSh9d0U3DLwLDz?si=fead984c59624e68]to moving through an edge is to be aware that what you are facing is an edge. Awareness of your edge. We talked about how to explore your edge and to recognize it for what it is. In last week’s episode [https://open.spotify.com/episode/6PJpUhPFX0OOck6RzxOgPh?si=3b898ae159094ba2] we talked about being aware of your edge…now what. I offered you an approach that will create some space so you know what to do to move yourself forward. You create space, you feel what’s meeting you at the edge and you invite yourself deeper through curiosity and you invite a perspective shift. All internal work.  This week we deepen into and get into the tangibles on how to begin to pushing past your edges, moving you past the point of being stuck, moving you through the muck of resistance and stuckness.  Let’s push these edges babe! Most of the takeaways from today’s episode are what we discussed, meditated on and breathed through in the most recent live session inside The Heart Portal digital studio [https://www.soulbody.co/the-heart-portal].

ICYMI last week, I introduced the topic of your edge. The edges inevitably meet on our journey of becoming.  What I mean by journey of becoming is this: I believe, we are here, it is our purpose to live fully expressed. To be so fully who we are and honor your you-ness that we couldn’t fathom living any other way.to be this fully expressed, embodied version of self, we will be asked to peel back the layers of who we’ve been taught, conditioned or shamed into being.  It’s to move from misaligned to aligned.  Good news/bad news – I’m not entirely sure if we ever truly arrive at our most fully-expressed self. That the journey is just that - a journey. One we deepen into and One where we constantly lose our way and find our way back over and over again.  On this journey we (every single one of us without exception) inevitably meet edges – they are sharp, prickly and usually indicate we’ve outgrown or become misaligned with something.  As human beings, our nature is to grow, to be in motion. Edges guide us and highlight what needs to be looked at for us to proceed. It shows us what we're outgrowing and offers an invitation to move back into alignment.  But, for some, edges seem like dead ends. At the edges you are being given a choice – to sit on the edge your whole life, or to allow yourself to go to the depths to move forward into the unknown?  Your future self, this version of you you desire to be is waving you into the pool but your dick brain wants you to stay where you are. So what do you do?  Do you succumb to the resistance and stay where you are – being thrashed by life or do you step courageously back into alignment? Last week, my invitation to you was to start getting curious about when and where edges arise. You can’t change what you don’t know. I.E. Awareness is the first step to making intentional shifts.  I invited you to get acquainted with where the edges in your life are, how they present, what they feel and look like so that you know the resistance or struggle you are feeling is in fact an edge. Now what. What do you do when you are faced with the stickiness of life, an edge that feels so sharp an uncomfortable, when you feel hopelessly stuck - WTF do you do?  That is what we explore in today's episode. And I give you some homework (heart work I call it) for the next time you meet an edge.
