Love is your
super power.
Welcome to Week One:
Total Love + Heart Awakening
We start with love – it is the magic ingredient through which true transformation can happen. Love is your super power.
You will explore tools that tap into love, as well as the tools to bring that love to all parts of your being. And I mean ALL parts of your being, including the wounds, the conditioned layers, and the painful pieces living in our body. Almost all emotional wounding, or trauma, is sourced from a lack of love or the perception that love wasn’t available.
This is your invitation to meet EVERY part of yourself with love. It can be really difficult, but when you do it over time you create new neural networks of love in your body. You are literally rebuilding your nervous system from the ground up with a foundation of love. On this love journey, when you meet yourself with acceptance and unconditional love, parts of you that are hidden, that haven’t been loved, can bubble up. These triggers or pain points stay hidden in fear of criticism so naturally when you come from love, they arise to be healed, integrated, and loved. Love is literally your healing super power!

Each week I will offer new ideas for you to consider “initiating” into your system. What does this mean? It means that I’m inviting you to read, listen, and/or watch a resource and absorb it into your entire being or “system.” This means you will take it in cerebrally, you will also feel into it in your subtle body taking careful notes of the internal dialogue, the feelings or body wisdom cues, and your response, projection, and/or reaction. If the material triggers you or causes resistance this is important information, if the material is easy, feels good, invites you into a place of peace and calm and feeling “at home,” this is also important information. Please create sacred space, and dedicated time to INITIATE this information into your system each week, and keep the notes in a journal for discussion.
Please INITIATE these resources into your system:

When we “anchor” into something, we connect to it…we make it ours. Each week I will invite you to ANCHOR into the theme for the week and this means that I want you to make the thoughts/work/ideas yours, intimately yours. You will be exposed to various resources to consider which each have their own ideas and positions, you will hear my thoughts and the thoughts and input of your fellow sisters in our discussions, and you will be asked to anchor into the ideas that resonate and guide you - in your own way. Please anchor into what feels good in your system, good in a “home” way, or good in a way that you have identified this as your work/practice, and let the rest go.
If something doesn’t sit well with you or resonate with you, let it go love.
THIS WEEK’S ANCHORING PRACTICES + INVITATIONS:
“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love & affection than you are yourself, & that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love & affection.”

When we integrate this means we have chosen to anchor into a belief and made it ours and now we are putting it into practice to begin to INTEGRATE it into our system, life, experience. How we do this is up to us, and whatever outside help we call in (teachers, resources, examples…).
*If you are feeling extra inspired by something that came up this week, please reach out to me to share how you might lead the group in a discussion or practice around this new inspiration: this will be a beautiful way that we can hold each other accountable for “integrating” this work.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

At the end of each week I invite you to reflect on the week’s journey; isolate it and take note.
Where did you start this week?
What growth, change, new awareness and/or new practices and ideas did you experience and/or adapt?
What further questions do you have?
What tools and resources do you need for future contemplation?
Take note of the resistance, or the list of things that you let go of, be sure these things are healthy surrenders.
