275: The December Downshift & Uplift Practice : Rhythms & Rituals to Recognize, Reset & Replenish

Tune into this Year's December Downshift & Uplift Episode. A yearly practice we always do, but that varies year by year based on the energy and focus we need. Join us for the full Reflection Ritual www.ReflectionRitual.com [https://www.ReflectionRitual.com] The December Downshift signals to our internal systems (and the people and projects around us) that it's time to start the slow down vs. get swirled into the year-end or holiday madness, followed by new year start pressure. It's the cyclical co-creation rhythm and structure we practice to mimic the natural world, who has managed to prosper for billlions of year (and gives us a template for how to evolve, grow and thrive). Think of the practice of downshifting at year end like driving a manual transmission car - you don't want to keep moving through Dec in 5th gear, at a high pace/ intensity/output still running on mental or emotional stressors from the weeks/months prior, and then hard downshift into neutral the last days of the year ... you'll blow out your system. And then likely need to recover. So you start depleted vs. ready to receive. It's a wiser to move through the gears one by one, over the course of weeks, so you can: savor your connections, deeply replenish, and receive from all you have created this past cycle. Making choices that support you to be healthy, clear and ready to receive inspiration, insight and clarity for focusing and co-creating next year. This year ... I tuned into for what was needed this December Downshift and realized we would also benefit with a Consciousness Uplift too. So we can really replenish our light + shake off the stress + see the progress and difference our effort and care has made + work with the inner "heart alchemy" already happening within us, including releasing inner patterns and past experiences that it's time to heal, let go and rise stronger and more compassionate from. Our exploration today is framed around the 4 themes below. I'll guide you through some reflective meditations + give you wisdom inquiries that support you to make choices in Dec + Jan that give you energy, support your system and your alignment. (Wisdom Inquiries here on my website) [https://christinearylo.com/2025/12/december-downshift-uplift/] 1. Ritual and Rhythm 2. Reflect, Recognize. 3. Release, Reset. Restore. 4. Resonance. Receive. We will be shining a light on things like: * the invisible impact your energy and effort has made * where there's momentum created from incremental progress * rituals and rhythms you can put in place now in Dec and Jan * making choices from wisdom of what restores, replenishes vs. obligation, guilt, and FOMO For 16 years I've created this structure through December and January for the co-creators, leaders + people + teams willing to do things differently, wiser.

274: The Weaver Connector Archetype: Shaping Our World Through Connection, Collaboration + Creation

Fierce Grace Series: Feminine Leadership Archetypes - (#3 of 8) "Insight drops in when we create space. Possibility reveals itself when we stop pushing." In this episode, we welcome in the Weaver Connector — the feminine leadership archetype who sees the patterns, possibilities, and connections that open pathways for wisdom, insight, and co-creation. She is the part of you who helps you move through the world not by pushing or over-efforting, but through resonance, relational intelligence, and spacious presence. Here's a partial transmission of the Weaver Connector ... notice what resonates... "I see the connections between people, possibilities, and things. I make connections others don't always see. I move through the world best when I'm connecting with others — and connecting others with each other. Part of my creative power and success comes from my ability to connect with those I'm truly here to connect with." (Full transmission in episode & on website here.) Why this matters now We live in a world that glorifies productivity, speed, metrics, and constant output — and undervalues the relational and creative "fields" and "invisible" work that actually makes meaningful results possible. The Weaver Connector illuminates that nothing meaningful is created alone. Insight, timing, synchronicity, and possibility arise when we create from spacious presence, resonance, and connection — not force, toxic pressure, or over-efforting. We'll explore: • Intuitive superpower of Weaver Connector — pattern-seeing and the "overview channel." • Power Spectrum of Connection <-> Competition that rises us into Conscious Collaboration • Resonance as a compass for discerning aligned - and mis-aligned - collaborations. • Relational + creative energy fields - how they work and what's needed to bring synchronicity, insight, and opportunity into form. • Tender spots & "love cracks" that make us resist or chase connection and our desires • Cultivating your web of connection + support for sustainable, easeful creation. P.S. ✨ Get the full transmission, inquiries, practices and other other episodes in this series here on the Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library.

272: Intuitive Illuminator Archetype: Tuning into & Translating the Invisible to Illuminate the Wisdom

Welcome to our exploration and activation of the 8 Feminine Leadership Archetypes over the course of season 10. Today in episode #272 we invite in the energy of the Intuitive Illuminator to support us to cultivate stability & clarity ... recenter when we get the wobbles.... sort the wisdom & truth from the swirl .... see the path ahead ... so we can move daily and in big ways guided by the light of grounded wisdom, open hearts and elevated consciousness. Illuminate: Your power to see what's happening beyond the surface, tune into the subtle realms, and your full spectrum of embodied intelligence to 'see' the invisible, make connections, illuminate reality, truth, & wisdom, and influence the path ahead. Educate: Intuitive attunement + the 4 centers of intelligence + spotting & alchemizing interference + the power of gentle progress with focused intention. A few words from the archetype of "The Intuitive Illuminator:" I see what other's cannot. My intuitive senses are strong. I see the connection between things. I see the possibility beyond the intellect and the mind. I have access to the imaginal realms and the infinite intelligence of the quantum field where possibility lives. For the full Intuitive Illuminator transmission tune in to this episode. Liberate: Reveal where the interference of unease or frustration (or other inteference frequency) is muddying up your inner knowing and insight, and your sense of stability ... try a somatic meditation to clear your intuitive channels.

Power Pause: Honor What Your Energy & Care Has Created This Year

Wise beings know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support us to grow our work, wealth and relationships, and to support our health, and keep us focused on what matters. Which is why one of my top three pratices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm and stay on the path of sustainable success, impact and wellbeing in the "Power Pause" + why I created the next two episodes for you, which are really more like a mini retreat. Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times. Equinoxes are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter. The theme of Sept Equinox is always Harvest. This year, I looked back through our library of Power Pause episodes and pulled out an episode that focuses on the themes of HONOR + RECEIVE + CREATE THE NEXT WHILE LIVING THE NOW - because I feel like these are the energies and equations that will most support us in this cycle. Tune into this Power Pause and learn some about: * Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year * Making the invisible and the internal visible - so we can feel it and value it * Honoring the process vs the product I will lead us through a 3 inquiry process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL and register in your body, brain and being: * How the energy and effort and focus you have given is returning harvest to you (but you have to pause to receive the harvest) * That you have been stretched & chosen to stretch - so you can harvest the strength & keep the wisdom gained. * You are supported & sustained in so many ways - but you have to soak it in to believe it. See you there! Christine P.S. Remember -->> REVIEW + / or SHARE this Power Pause with a friend. Use the inquiries (listed below), share from the heart, witness each other, and WOW! P.P.S.
