Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo

Anger and grief are good human emotions. They have the potential to open up so much for us – individually and collectively – which can lead to healing, breaking down barriers, and breaking through to better realities. The problem is that most humans weren't taught how to express anger or grief in healthy ways, so it comes out sideways in distorted ways, or it gets stuffed down until we blow up or get sick. Sometimes we are the receiver of that big emotional eruption and other times we are the "unleasher" or "erupter" on someone else. This episode was originally released in July 2024 as part of our nine-part summer series, Stay Light, hosted by Christine Arylo & Jennifer Alexandar. We pulled it out of our Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library as part of our 4-part July 2025 series this year. Wisdom still so relevant for these times.     We explore perspectives and practices around dealing with the kind of rage and grief that comes from our wounds or the wounds of others, and how to do it differently in ways that lead to wholeness, including how we can: * Discharge anger and grief so that it doesn't build up inside us and leak out, or erupt in distorted ways * Have big emotions like rage and grief about the world, about our reality, about other people's actions or choices, without them consuming us * Use our big emotions to heal ourselves and ignite creative action that inspires * Deal with other people’s misdirected rage and grief * Respond to the things that enrage us, in powerful ways that make the world better vs. adding to the chaos Between now and the next episode, we invite you to contemplate the two-part inquiry: What anger or grief am I holding on to? Where do I feel it in my body? Bonus invitation: amplify your awareness and capacity to shift by SHARING this podcast with a friend and conversating on the inquiry together.

For all the co creators, change makers, re-imaginers, global citizens on planet earth, and those who choose to be part of creating a brighter world and better ways of living & being we know deep down are possible... this is for you. We've been told "You are the ones you've been waiting for." There is no person here to 'save' us. Who we are and how we live is how we elevate reality - for ourselves, those we care for and guide, and this planet. This is Personal Leadership. And it's essential, and challenging. So ... the question is ... how the heck do we make our way through the chaos, stay focused, keep the faith and be wise about where we focus our energy and resources ... and also keep our hearts, spirits and creative life force alive and strong in the months and years to come where so much seems out of our control?  Consider this: There is a path ... we just can't see it with our everyday eyes, we need our 'wise eyes' which can see in the dark of the unknown or see through the confusion of chaos ... can hear deeper guidance in stories, myths and patterns ... can discern what's aligned by contemplating on inquiries that lead to insight vs. grasping for answers to questions. Our internal imaginal cells are programmed to expand, evolve and focus us in the now and next. But we need intentional space outside of the banana world to 'do' this.   Which is why today in episode #2 in the Next Phase On Purpose series - Ep 269: Playing Your Part on our Planet Now, we will dive into and explore: * Context: For where we are in human evolution and our part in it  * Somatic Meditation: As one instrument in a bigger web, what is your part to play now and in this next phase? Knowing others are also playing their part, so you don't have to. * Storyelling Mythic Time: the uncommon but oh so relevant myth of the Holy Grail * Make it Personal & Practical with 3 Wisdom Inquiries: Go deeper and get to the root of what is your part and not your part in the next cycle * Compass to Stay Focused On Your Part Forward: so you can stay orientated and focused in the coming months and years on your part for this next phase on the planet.  I invite you to use this conversation, exploration and creation to turn off the chatter and tune into your deeper wisdom and intuition to navigate and co-create your next phase in the now.   with heart,  Christine p.s. Share + forward this episode with a friend + share the insights from the inquiries. Reflect what you hear from each other. Be each others wisdom council as you create the next while living the now.    >> Appreciate You leaving a Review of what you receive from this podcast (Just go to the show page on your podcast app and scroll down). **** Ways to Connect: * Work with Christine 1:1 in her Design Your Next Phase On Purpose coaching experience for established professionals, senior leaders and founders - learn more [https://christinearylo.com/next-phase-on-purpose-career-leadership-coaching/] * Subscribe [https://christinearylo.com/wisdom-letter-signup/] to Christine's Monthly Wisdom Letters * Connect with Christine [https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinearylo/] on LinkedIn * Join us in the Feminine Wisdom Cafe [http://www.femininewisdomcafe.com/], a private online community * Watch [https://www.youtube.com/c/ChristineArylo] on YouTube ***  Resources: 1.

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.

"If we don't actively dream our dream, we are being dreamt" - Andean Wisdom, Marcela Lobos Since our lives are micros of the macro, I think it's safe to say that most of us are going through transformations ... being called to elevate in our next expression and evolution ... shedding skins / exoskeletons / phoenix feathers / old parts, roles & constructs ... likely it's already happening ... but are we tuning in and REALLY listening ... and do we have the inquires that lead us to the essence of what we desire to create, and what is on our design to do/live/be? So instead of being trapped, we create with life, from heart and soul. In this episode #1 in the Next Phase, On Purpose series - Ep 267: Becoming Something New - we will make sure you: have space + inquiries to shed light, gain insight and be able to articulate what this next phase (however long that is for you) is about. With this wisdom you gain a compass for clarity to make decisions, even in choppy, shifting waters.    Consider this: You are becoming something new ... it's happening, even if you can't see it, you can feel it ... so ask yourself... How can I actively dream and design my desired now reality and future reality, rather than being passively 'dreamt' by external circumstances? Here's the 3 inquiries we dove into to bring insight to what you are choosing to dream and co-create forward. * Admit what I really want. Don't apologize or diminish this!  * Choose- Where will I plant my field? Root my tree? Vocation, Relation, Location in this next cycle. * Consciously curate- What needs to be released? What's still valuable to Preserve? What new possibilities do I want to Create space for? There is so much power in proactively choosing to release outdated beliefs and habits that we don't need in the next cycle .... to preserve valuable aspects that still have relevancy and life...  and create new opportunities and relationships to support us to evolve. I invite you to use this conversation and the 3 realms of inquiry as a practice of active dreaming and co-creation. Turn off the chatter and tune into your deeper wisdom and intuition to navigate and co-create your next phase in the now.   with heart,  Christine p.s.

As co-creators one of our roles is to understand that the current cultures, societies and systems are human created. Which means you and I - since we are human - have the capacity and responsibility - to embody the audacity to re-imagine how we and this world works. Now. Even if it appears we have little power to 'do' anything ... as Dorothy from Wizard of Oz realized after seeking wisdom and power outside herself: "The power was within me all along." One way we 'do' this to flex our "re-imagining muscles" through conversating and imaging possibilityinto reality. Today I'm inviting us to point our collective energy towards one thing we already know about what a healthy, prospering, compassionate culture looks like. Imagine this: We live in a world who actively engages with and values the 'elders' of the society. People who have lived long enough in a conscious way on this planet to embody wisdom through lived experienced...Good humans who share what they've learned for the evolution and wellbeing of humanity, the planet and all life on it. In this "Tea with an Elder" episode, I invited Pele Rouge Chadima, co-founder of the Center for Timeless Earth Wisdom [https://www.centerfortimelessearthwisdom.org/], (and one of my primary wisdom teachers for two decades) to discuss Timeless Earth Wisdom and its relevance to current times ... including: how we can use the wisdom of "the natural laws" for navigating and guiding our way through. Pele has in many ways been a student of earth wisdom and feminine power since she was born (she'll share about this) and has also lived the earth wisdom path for near 50 years, gifted with the "medicine" from her teachers within a long line of indigenous wisdom.   Here's some of the wisdom that emerged through our conversation ...   * If we're in alignment with the larger rhythms, then we're working with life itself, rather than life against itself.  * Love brings up all unlike itself to be healed*. So anything not in alignment with the larger laws of life is now coming up to be made visible, to make us be aware of it. It's an invitation from Life: Humans get your act together and come back into the beauty of life itself, into the flow of life, into the patterns of life. * Humans are but one instrument in the ongoing orchestra of life. Our job is to keep ourselves in tune, to know who we are and to do what's needed to keep ourselves in tune, and then play accordingly with the rest of life. We don't have to know everything. We don't have to be responsible for everything. Our  job is to be the clearest instrument we can be. * Change is a process, not an event. Life is a process. We tend to think of it as events. Like, how do I do this? How do I change that? Rather than how do I embody within myself the life that I want to live? How do I embody whatever my understanding or beliefs are about the laws of life? How do I live that today, knowing that I'm not going to be perfect, and that some days it's like: "Okay, I surrender." I re-listened to the conversation myself as part of my morning practice, and it was like calm balm to my heart and a radiance boost for my spirit ... I invite you to join us and receive the wisdom and the energy of knowing we are co-creating with life. with heart,  Christine *** INSPIRED ACTIONS: 1. Share this podcast with a friend.
