Mistakes - Friend or Foe?

How do you feel about the mistakes that you have made in your life, today, yesterday over the longer term? Are you caught up in fearing mis-taking conversations, situations and emotions or are you open to following the potential to grow through the opportunities things not always going a certain way?

We cover: * Blessings in disguise * Nothing that is meant for us will pass us by * Lessons and evolution * Right or wrong * Internalisation of mistakes * Rejection is protection  * Fear of punishment * Rigid consequences  * The way interact with perceived mistakes * Understanding we are not wrong * Who is the judge? * What is needed for me? * Reclaiming our mistakes * Embodiment of growth We would love to hear your take on mistakes ;) 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== [https://www.instagram.com/mindbodyveda?igsh=MWFuZWk1aTBkM21ocw==] Ella L.

Where Attention Goes Your Energy Flows - The Power of Your Intention

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 elephants * Worrying thoughts create things to worry about * How we think about life creates what we live through  * Breathing life into our thoughts * Thought processes are easily forgotten * What am I breathing life into and magnifying? * Shifting perspectives changes experiences  * Inserting energy into our lives * What can I make it mean? * Accountability for our perspectives * Focusing the sunlight of our energy We would love to know how you are directing energy in your life? Fill us in below in the comments 🙂 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== [https://www.instagram.com/mindbodyveda?igsh=MWFuZWk1aTBkM21ocw==] Ella L.

Does Living in Alignment With Who You Are REALLY Matter?

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 expectation * Effects of what is not correct for us * Correlation on health and vitality * The ‘easy’ option over the ‘hardship and challenge’ of alignment * Spirit first  * Stretching to meet alignment  * The draw of financial security  * Depletion of energy and spirit * Acknowledgement of spirit  * Separation of our experience * Choose your hardship * Growing pains versus pain of suffering We 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 QUESTIONS If 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?

To Morning Routine, or to Not Morning Routine?

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 day * Wellness culture dictating health and vitality * Rituals over strict parameters * Wellbeing in the bigger picture * Routines that promote harmony * Anchoring your day * Space, breath and movement for expansion * Responsiveness to the season * Meeting ourselves where we are * Honouring the variances of life * Why do we create our morning routines? * Coming from the inside out * Bringing intention into the day * Connecting mind, body and spirit * Sharing from overflow instead of depletion * The length doesn’t matter * I’m important enough to start the day focused on me * Start 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== [https://www.instagram.com/mindbodyveda?igsh=MWFuZWk1aTBkM21ocw==] Ella L.

Get in Bed With Your Plants! Meet Special Guest Nikimbre Daniels & The Power of Plant Relations

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 farm * Plant relations - in symbiosis and land trust   * Connection to plants * Growing up at one with and having relationship with land * Walking in alignment as an example * Reciprocity - balancing plants and land * Plants giving life * The difference between plant relations and botany * Intuition and remembering * Secret keepers * Returning to the heartspace and compassion * Expanding humanity stepping out of logistically focus * Revolution of tending to the heartspace * First steps in building plant relationships  * Supporting in relationships over forcing * Plant relationships reflected in life * ‘Sleeping with plants’ - bringing them into your bed! * Potency of herbal teas * Mindfulness of who we source from * Ways relationships with plants enhance our lives * Gifting back to the land If you would like to learn more about Nikimbre’s wonderful work, please reach out to her on: nikimbre.daniels@gmail.com [nikimbre.daniels@gmail.com] where you can join her newsletter and go deeper into the much needed power of our relationship with plants.
