his feminine side

Lets talk BALANCE.  Less about work-life balance (that feels so early 2000’s) and more about Sacred Balance. The breakout session I led at the Day of Wellness has lingered in my psyche. As much as I was teaching one of my ninja tools about Sacred Balance, I am always a student of this Art.

This week what became apparent was how MEN are also craving this Balance. Some men are comfortable embracing their Feminine side and some have been so conditioned to suppress it, that they are not quite sure how to bring this out.

Many know that something is missing, and in a lot of ways they need us. They need us to encourage the gentler side of MAN. They need us to decondition from what WE THINK A MAN SHOULD BE. And they need us to support them as they transition from overly patriarchal models to a more harmonious model.

It has been fascinating to witness the men that reach out to me saying they want to read my upcoming book, and how safe they feel in knowing that such Principles apply to them as well, and I am feeling even more honored to have men reach out to me to advise them in their spiritual & business upleveling.

Do the men in your life seem to be shifting? Do you notice how curious they are about mindfulness, yoga, or the magic in life? If so, you have a role in all of it. Embrace it and embrace their change.

If you are a man, I encourage you to give yourself permission to care at least a bit less of how society thinks you should be. You are actually on the leading edge, and remember those on the leading edge are often misunderstood. That’s ok, you are ahead of the curve, and we all think that is sexy!

Kept this short and sweet. I have a wave of travel and so I am being very mindful to take good care of my energy because you know… Balance. 😉

{Feel Good} YOU: Eye of the Storm

 

Happy Equinox!

A beautiful time to set intentions for the new season upon us, and specifically a time to clarify what your heart longs for. For some of us the next coming months will feel still a bit more internal, and we are asked to truly SEE THE VALUE of STILLNESS.

One of The Priestess Code Principles is “Deconstruct & Construct; it is your nature”. Most of us have not been taught or been wired to see how this Code can feed success and progress. Most of us have been conditioned to be a peg on the upward motion of success, and yet I know this Principle has value. Let me share…

We can all agree that challenges bring us great gifts, but we only see that after it has fully passed. In the middle of the storm, all we want to do is get out as quickly as possible. I get it. None of us love to be in the thick of things, yet beautiful blessings come from it, as much as we do not love to admit this!

I am not suggesting that we only grow when in challenges, I think we can be prompted to evolve and expand from joy, but some of us have moments of being a wee bit stubborn, and Spirit (God/ Universe/ Insert your flavor) sometimes has to order up a storm for our beautiful serving.

The Stillness. She brings peace if we allow her. She brings eventual clarity. She allows us to embrace the quiet within. She allows the ground of our garden to thaw, so that we can begin planting, watering, and nurturing our dreams in Divine Timing.Some of us need to activate the Spiritual Warrior within. We need to know that we are powerful beyond life circumstances.

This past weekend I spoke at the W.E.L.L. Boston Conference  and taught the participants how to know their unique season. When you know what season you are in (whether more yin & quiet OR more yang & active), you are able to prepare. But sometimes, you don’t have this information(don’t worry, I share this tool in my upcoming book! so YOU WILL HAVE IT! ) and so you have to improvise…

Sometimes crappy things and people show up, so what to do?

1. Don’t feed the inner or outer demons. The brighter you shine, the more good that comes your way, but also the more shadowy things and people challenge you. Acknowledge what they bring. Have compassion and love, but do not be a doormat. Stop talking about it and definitely stop obsessing. I know it is tempting, but the more we feed the story, the bigger the story becomes.

2. What message are you receiving? The challenge brings a message for you. You are not a victim, you are victorious, and as a Victorious Priestess (or Monk), a message lays before you. What inside of you opened the door for this challenge. What within you is wanting to be released or aligned? Name it. Be kind to yourself.

3. Follow the signs. Acknowledging the message means you are ready to adult! 😉 Meaning you are now ready and wise enough to deal with whatever is causing you pain. Intend to find resources, ask the Universe to show you. And notice what shows up. Buy the book, take the class, get the massage, cut your hair…. it does not have to be logical. Most importantly, TRUST. I promise the Universe is not stingy. It wants to support you.

If you enjoyed this, and want to be on The Priestess Code book wait list, I’d love to let you know when it comes out! http://www.ashaisnow.com/bookwaitlist

{Feel Good} are hormones hurting or helping your leadership?

Do you ever feel as though your hormones get in the way of being the most effective leader ?

Or maybe you find yourself being more harsh during certain times of the month?

If you are like most women leaders you are probably tough on yourself and you probably have some shame around all this or even feel like you should just hide during certain days in your cycle. You don’t want to hurt anyone but you sort of know your feelings are real and honest, and people around you just take you the wrong way. Is this you? Someone you know? I invite you to keep reading; I think this will help. And you may want to share with your powerhouse girlfriends.

First of all you are not alone. Did I already say that. Well, it merits me repeating.

I have coached and consulted for women leaders who are creative, powerful, and who confess to me that they do  not know what to do with their emotions at times. They value their sensitivity, but sometimes they fight their emotions, and no matter what, the frustration comes out in their words. They are at times misperceived even though they have a big heart. I am talking women who run $1M-20M companies.

No shame, my dear.

Ok, so now that we have forgiven ourselves for our less controlled monthly moments, can we get some solutions in place? I get it. It’s not enough to accept ourselves, but then keep repeating the patterns that are clearly NOT working for all those who rely on us to lead or manage them. And most of us do not want to come across as a hot mess to the people who look to us as a role model. So, what is a Business Priestess to do?

Here are my must-implement-like-today tips. Warning: the tips alone are awesome, but if you find yourself next month struggling, reach out to me. I am taking on a new big project, but have room for ONE coaching client. 😉

Business Priestess Leadership Tip Time…

1. I want you to print out a calendar for one month: go here to download one: https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/. I suggest you put it by your bedside table and at the end of the day (for the entire month) you gage your emotional wellbeing for that day. Keep it simple + rate it as: a. rock star day b. neutral c. struggled  d. hot mess day

2. Do this for one month (even better if you do 3 months) and notice the patterns. Notice how it aligns with your cycle. Knowing your baseline is key to helping you and your team thrive.

3. Once you know your (c) struggled and your (d) hot mess days guard them as if they were new born babies. Meaning that once you know that around day 20 of your cycle you start struggling those are the days to reduce activities (travel less, schedule less, book a massage).

If some months it feels as though you have little control of going into your woman cave, no worries, having the information can be the prompt to expect less of yourself. Yes, you read that correctly. Expect less. Order in, get set up for a nice epsom or sea salt bath, or journal your frustration away.

4. Educate those closest to you on the days when you need more support, love and understanding. You are not meant to struggle alone, you are meant to be SUPPORTED. So, tell your spouse, boyfriend/ girlfriend, kids, roommates. The code word we have in our home is “I am tender today”. And when someone is not realizing it for themselves we say “oh, you are feeling tender today”. It’s compassionate, honoring, and to the point.

5. Advocate for what you REALLY need. You do not have to force yourself to be something you are not. You do not have to tell people why you need your woman cave. No permission is needed from anyone. Own your Queendom and do this for you. Because when we put on our oxygen mask on ourselves first, we are better equipped to help others, and we are just way more productive and effective.

Note: when you are in those tender days, I want you to remember that you are a fricken ORACLE. There is truth in what you feel, sense, and think. Yes, there is. Don’t let any conditioning say that you are crazy, hormonal, or whatever other demeaning thing we hear as women. You are truth incarnate. The trick is what to do with this truth that pours through your veins once (or twice) a month. This is where you may need help managing and implementing the right tools to help you be a powerful leader and taking care of yourself.

Believe me I have experience for myself and all the women I have supported through the years.

The biggest mistake I have seen powerful leaders make is minimize their struggle and plough through month after month. This usually blows up in their face at some point, and causes teams to lose trust in their leader, and eventually break apart something that would otherwise be a harmonious tribe. I don’t’ want that for you. I want you to feel good about where you are, know yourself in and out, have the right tools in place to support you & your profitable ventures, and be the leader you know you are!

We got this! If you want to hear more about the most effective tools, schedule time with me.

Love you,

Asha

{Feel Good + Be Wealthy} What we really need in the New Year.

IMG_7142 (1)Recently I wrote an article for a Latina publication on a little different perspective on New Year’s goals. When we have a New Year, many of us are excited about the possibilities of New Year’s Resolutions or New Year’s Intentions. The fresh start can be blinding because we can tend to forget that wherever we go, there we are.

Meaning that if we take the same person we were last year into the New Year, we bring the same vibe, the same amount and expansiveness of the possibilities that we can create. But, if we focus on re-aligning ourselves, then we have a chance to raise the vibration of who we are, and therefore, the vibe of what is possible in our lives.
Perhaps the previous year brought some good and not so fun things? The good is worth having gratitude for, and the not so fun is worth extracting the lesson. By this, I do not mean, dragging the pain, hurt, betrayal with us into the New Year, but re-aligning the parts of ourselves that condoned, allowed, or made ourselves open to that reality.

Don’t get me wrong, this is NOT about blaming ourselves. This is about compassionately noticing what one aspect of ourselves that is not aligned with our soul, and ultimately with Love. Remember, no beating of self allowed, only noticing and letting the sensation & vibration of that to flow through and when it is fully ready, out of us.
Some of us think we are too much in our head and that we overthink what we did wrong. It’s normal. It is normal because we have been conditioned to value logic, thought, and the mind. And our feelings and other sensations have not gotten as much practice to play on planet earth. What happens when we are one sided (mind-sided) is that we overwork the mind, stress it out (hence stress ourselves out!), and the parts that have deeper wisdom to bring forth become inactive, apathetic, and do not get to be as developed. But, we need all parts to work together to truly live in connection, and hence creating what we really want.

But that ends this year.

Today, we vow to allow learn to quiet the mind, and awaken other parts of our system that have wisdom beyond the mind.

Don’t know how to do that? I got you covered. This workbook lays it out for you and dozens of women have reported back that this method has served them to feel balanced and able to manage all of life’s challenges.

{Have it ALL} Rebel Priestess or BUST

rebelWhether you are in the hustle of your own business or blessed to work for someone else, I think we can all agree that it is time to either do the work we came here to do or bust.

The status quo is not right. You know it and I know it. And honestly, the rest of the world knows it, whether they want to admit it or not. Some of us are too comfy and entitled to see it, but if you were born in this time of great uproar, you either came to wake up or wake others up.

Which one is it for you?

It’s important that you know that. If you are here to wake up, have the courage to accept help in doing so. Invest in yourself, in your waking up, and in your future.

If you came here to wake others up… I have a question for you… do you feel the fire of the ASS OF YOUR PURPOSE?

Well, if you feel the fire. Same advice and invitation goes to you. Stillness is awesome, going within is amazing, giving yourself the space to think things through is powerful, but at some point, you have to vow to your rebellious nature. You gotta pour your heart into the Rebel Priestess that you are.

You were born a Priestess because you have the ability (whether dormant or alive) to make yourself happy and serve something greater than yourself. You were put on this planet to get to know your soul, talk to her, hear her voice, and exercise that voice.

You cannot do it alone. We were wired to be together. Like a tribe. Nobody has all the answers. You have a powerful answer to the whole planet/humanity uproar, and I need you. I really do. My daughters need you. My daughters need you to be a Rebel Priestess so that you can break the cycle of your own lineage, of your community, of your friends, of your time.

If you feel rebellious or want to be rebellious towards all the BS going around the world, I think we need to be connected beyond you reading my emails. I mean it!!!

As a Rebel Priestess you have to decide… am I going for it or am I not?  

No more in between for you. If you are afraid. Fuck it. Be afraid, but do it with a tribe who has your back.

If you are uncertain. Screw it. Be uncertain, and honor your unique way of doing things. Not from a place of playing small, or speaking half ass, but from a deep rooted place of authenticity.

I want you. I want you as part of my tribe. It’s not really mine, it’s OURS, and that’s what makes it yum, and powerful, and so not about someone telling you what to do, but more someone guiding you to ask yourself the questions that must be answered so that you can be FREE, HAPPY, and FEEL GOOD about your time on earth! Sounds amazing right? 😉

I don’t have an offer for you, and I don’t have a deal. But I do have a desire to see you shine, see you get out of your own way, grow as the Priestess / Goddess/ Scrumptiousness that you already are, and walk in that CONFIDENCE every day.

Confidence is not an outfit you put on once and it is done. We have to practice it. We have to go deeper with it. We have to have community around it.

Let’s face it, there is negativity out there. Which tries to knock you off the confidence horse. A lot. I mean, I will confess I have gotten off the horse twice since my first cup of tea this morning. It’s ok. It is what makes us human. But if we let ourselves rot in the mud under the horse, we won’t get back up, try a new horse, or even think we can be on  higher ground.

So, I invite you. I urge you. I seduce you (like a good Priestess would! haha!) to join the revolution of women who are here to be happy, fulfilled, and in service to something greater than themselves, oh yes, while making a sustainable living. One that is void of co-dependency, that is smart, that is aligned with your current needs and wants.

This is NOT just for those who have a business of their own, it is for the WOMAN who wants to make the world a better place and wants to live authentically.

JOIN HERE: http://www.ashaisnow.com/priestessprofitlab

I urge you to join before next Friday. Next Friday, I release a training in this program that will knock the socks of you, and will help each woman end her suffering with her purpose. This ONE teaching shifts every single woman who receives it, and immediately lowers her anxiety on herself & what she is here to accomplish.

Can’t wait to share!

Love,

Asha
