Joining the Sacred Circle of Conscious Creation
is an investment in yourself!
Make it official with a recurring monthly payment of $8.88

What’s the significance of $8.88?

In numerology the number 8 resonates with the influences and vibrations of personal power, self-confidence, inner-strength, material freedom, success, good judgement,, finances, abundance and prosperity of all kinds, investments, discrimination and discernment, giving and receiving, inner-wisdom, self-sufficiency, truth and integrity, compassion, achieving and achievements, decisiveness, efficiency, trustworthiness, insight, planning and the planner, sociability, rest and retreat, insight, spiritual consciousness, a desire for peace and a love of humanity and world transformation.

Tripling a number magnifies its energy and influence. I thought, “why not increase the influence of the number 8 in members’ bank accounts since it’s going to be reappearing monthly!”

Seeing recurring numbers can also be a synchronistic way for our guides and angels to communicate with us.  Here’s one interpretation of the message repeating 8’s bring.

If you feel pulled to join the Circle, I hope you will heed the call today!
Then open to receive the blessings that we will be co-creating
during each Sacred Circle gathering!

What to expect for our Circle gatherings?

Each time we Circle up, it will be a unique experience depending on the energy of the current Moon and the women present at the LIVE gathering. I will choose a different Conscious Creation theme for each gathering, but there will also be some elements of our gathering that will be the same each time:


I will open each circle with a cleansing and centering ritual followed by a poem, reading or other inspirational message to set the tone and theme.

 

We will do a “self-discovery” or “empowerment” exercise like a guided meditation, Level UP balances for shifting limiting beliefs or other awareness activities to enhance our powers of Conscious Creation.

 

We will allow time for sharing (if you choose to) and we will practice “listening without an agenda” and validating each woman’s words and experiences without judgement.

       “With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing.”
~ Catherine De Hueck Doherty


We will close the Circle with a celebration ritual to honor and rejoice in our own beauty, worthiness and creative power.

 

 

Circle members also will be added to our SECRET Facebook group where we will connect in-between our LIVE gatherings for support, inspiration and empowerment.

If you’re ready to embrace your own Divine Power and commit to nurturing it on a regular basis, I hope you will consider joining our Circle today as an act of courage and self-care!

You are NOT alone and you DESERVE to take time out of your busy life to connect with your own Inner Wisdom AND be supported by the wisdom of other women who share a similar path!

I can’t wait to begin this work with you!

Heaps of Love!

I was born to shake shit UP!

Throughout my life, this has caused much discomfort for people around me.
(Myself included!)
Besides being a shit shaker upper, I am also a fierce advocate for authentic communication. I’m done censoring myself because it might rattle some cages. I try to choose words that are gentle, but I’m not always successful. And sometimes words just blurt out of my mouth before I even know what’s happened!

Yes there is value in being blunt. Unfortunately it’s quite a crap shoot how bluntness will be received.

So if something I say or do pisses you off or hurts your feelings or otherwise rattles your cage, please know that my intention is NEVER to cause you pain. But just because that’s not my intention doesn’t mean it won’t happen. 😓 It can be painful when the world holds up a mirror that shows us something uncomfortable about ourselves.

32reflectionAnd that’s all any of us are for each other – mirrors. If someone says something that makes us feel good, they are just reflecting (bringing our attention to) the peace and love and joy that already exist inside us. If someone says something that feels bad, they are just reflecting to us a part of ourselves that still needs some healing.

So the next time someone says something that makes you feel some kinda way, I invite you to have the courage to ask questions.
Seek clarity from the person on the deeper meaning and intention of their statements or actions.
Go within and find the fear that their statements touched in you.

It *might* be true that the person really was trying to hurt you, but more often than not, in my experience, moments like these are opportunities. Opportunities to learn more about myself and what I’m ready to face and release and heal.

Sometimes discomfort is necessary for getting our attention when it’s time to grow and learn and heal.

Welcome the pain, and then ask it why it has shown up in this way – at this time – in this form.

PSYCH-K FAQs

What is PSYCH-K?FreeYourMindBird

It is a unique and direct way to change subconscious beliefs that perpetuate old, unwanted habits of thought, self-talk and behavior. It uses muscle testing + simple processes that help you communicate with your subconscious mind and change beliefs that limit your ability to realize your full potential in life.

quotation02_reversed-minHow can PSYCH-K help me?

Your subconscious programming establishes the limits of what you can achieve. 

Affirmations and other self-deveolpment tools (including Psychotherapy) help effect change at the conscious level, but often they don’t TOTALLY change our previous patterns or release ALL of our wounds from past emotional or psychological trauma. To effect change in long held patterns of behavior and thought, we must change our subconscious programming which is held in the subconscious mind in the form of beliefs.

If you are experiencing limits in creating the life you desire, chances are you have a conflict between your conscious goals and your subconscious programming. This kind of conflict can show up in your relationships, self-esteem, career, prosperity, body image, physical health and more. PSYCH-K identifies and changes your limiting subconscious beliefs so they are more in alignment with your conscious goals, thereby releasing blocks to achieving those goals.

How does PSYCH-K work?

PSYCH-K is a unique process evolving from years of brain research and hundreds of sessions with individuals and groups. It creates a receptive, “Whole-Brain State” that dramatically reduces resistance to change in the subconscious mind. The PSYCH-K muscle testing and change processes (called “Balances”) work as a kind of ‘touch screen interface’ that enable us to communicate with the subconscious mind and re-write the subconscious programming that we’ve received throughout our lives from family, authority figures, institutions, the culture at large and direct life experience.

What is a PSYCH-K Balance?

A PSYCH-K Balance is a process designed to create balanced communication with both hemispheres of the cerebral cortex. This “Whole-Brain State” is ideal for reprogramming the subconscious mind with new self-enhancing beliefs that support your goals rather than block them. The PSYCH-K facilitator uses muscle testing to determine the type of Balance your subconscious mind needs in order to access the old programming and change it. There are 7 different variations in the Balance processes.

To see an example of a Psych-K Balance, go to the 50 minute mark in this video:

How is PSYCH-K different from Hypnotherapy?
(This answer is from a Certified PSYCH-K Instructor who is also a Certified Hypnotherapist)

Hypnosis places authority in the therapist, while PSYCH-K gives equal or greater authority to the partner (client).

Hypnosis usually requires a trance state, while PSYCH-K works without such a state.

Hypnosis may have no spiritual foundation, depending on the therapist. PSYCH-K is always a spiritual process because it’s designed that way.

Hypnosis usually has no permission protocols; it’s assumed to be helpful. In PSYCH-K there are always spiritual permission protocols, i.e., contact with your Higher-Self via muscle testing, so we ensure that your belief changes are in your highest and best good, and are not well intentioned, but misguided goals, that can actually make things worse, rather than better.

In hypnosis the partner or client must disclose often painful or embarrassing personal information. In PSYCH-K, this information can remain private if the partner prefers.

PSYCH-K is more of a team process between partner and facilitator, more “do with” rather than “do to.”

At least three hypnotherapists also trained in PSYCH-K say that they typically get the same or better results in half the time (or less) using PSYCH-K instead of hypnotherapy.

What if there is not a PSYCH-K Facilitator near me?

Sessions can be done via phone, FaceTime or Skype.

Why PSYCH-K ?

Posted on by

FreeYourMindBirdPSYCH-K is a transformational tool that has enabled incredible  healing and growth in my life.  It has also transformed my husband’s life AND enhanced our marriage tremendously.  The “Radiant Life” we now enjoy is the direct result of our commitment to change and grow. PSYCH-K has been the MOST powerful tool we have found to effect the change we wanted to see in our lives AND to realize our fullest potential as humans.  (Read more about our personal journey with PSYCH-K here.)

I quotation01-minwant to share this tool with the Radiant Living Community because we are ALL on the path of growth and transformation together!  When we choose to follow a life path that diverges from the mainstream, we can’t help but grow and evolve.

That evolution process is often challenging and sometimes it can be painful.  It can take a LONG time to create new habits of thought and behavior to line up with the changes we are making in your lives.  Realizing our personal vision for the life we desire can take much longer than we intend, which can lead to frustration and all sorts of “negative” feelings and experiences.

PSYCH-K is the most effective tool I have found to speed up the process of change, as well as the most painless way to effect change in our lives.  It paves the way for our vision to become reality.  It helps us quickly release “baggage” and past trauma that is holding us back – and you don’t even HAVE to talk about the trauma or re-live it – just name it and the facilitator will follow the lead of the subconscious mind to unlock the “trauma program” and re-write it.

Feel the LIGHT and CELEBRATE!

When we come into this physical existence, we already know ALL of the universal truths:

  • ABUNDANCE and LIMITLESSNESS and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
  • We KNOW that we are worthy of LOVE and JOY
  • We KNOW that the Universe is a SAFE place and it WILL PROVIDE everything that we need.

But as soon as we arrive on this physical plane, we start to get clear messages from those around us of the limiting beliefs that are so prevalent in the world:

  • SCARCITY and LACK and LIMITATION and FEAR
  • UNWORTHINESS and ORIGINAL SIN
  • WORRY that we won’t get what we need and that the Universe is a HOSTILE PLACE governed by chaos.

We buy into the belief that life HAS to be a struggle – that joy is something we MIGHT be worthy of (briefly) but only AFTER we struggle sufficiently.  That we aren’t inherently worthy of love and feeling good.  We learn that we have to work hard for the good stuff OR that sometimes even working hard isn’t enough and sometimes the chaos just gives us shitty stuff no matter how hard we work or try for the good stuff.

As we gain direct experience in life, these beliefs and messages get reinforced.  So after the initial “sponge” period of childhood (age 0-8ish) where our subconscious mind is programmed with all of the prevalent beliefs in our environment,  we begin to put these beliefs into practice in our lives.  We begin to “give out” these limiting ideas and beliefs with our thoughts, words and actions.  So what we “get back” from life is evidence that matches what we are giving out.

We get into a cycle of this and get stuck there in that “self-fulfilling prophecy.”  We often feel frozen there – knowing that we don’t like it* BUT not knowing how to break out of that cycle.

Eventually our life circumstances will get so unbearable that something “snaps” and we decide that we’ve had enough.  Or sometimes we hit “rock bottom,” or maybe our tolerance of the shitty stuff and shitty feelings just wears out.

THAT is the beginning of our remembering and we begin to remember the truth we were born knowing.

Sometimes it comes in one grand event but more often it comes in the smaller moments of “That’s it, I’m tired of this shit!  There’s got to be a better way.”

So we begin (or renew) our search for answers. We read books, talk to a therapist, go to a meet up, google stuff, read articles and blogs – and along the way we find nuggets of wisdom that jog our memory.  We receive messages that resonate with something deep in our hearts.  It might be something we can’t quite put our fingers on, but we just KNOW that there’s a message in it for us.  It just sounds true and it feels GOOD.  These nuggets shine a light to illuminate our path back to the truth.

So we keep searching and listening and watching for these clues.  They’re like bread crumbs along the path to help us find our way back home:
To help us remember what our True Self already knows.
To show us the way to a life of ease and joy.
A life free of fear and anxiety and worry and ALL of those unhelpful and unproductive things that feel awful.

Once we begin to find answers, that resonate with us, it’s like a light shining in the darkness.  We begin to feel better even if only for short periods.  That gives us hope and motivation to keep looking for ALL the answers we need to hear.  Eventually we hit on something that feels like THE THING we have been searching for.

Once we find THAT thing it’s like time speeds up and it feels like we’re flying!  Changes begin to happen more and more rapidly.  We begin to shift, and experience more and more of the joy and freedom we KNOW is possible, but never could have dreamed of just a short time ago.

Once this begins to happen we can look back on the time when we felt frozen in the pain, despair and unsupportive thought patterns, and it feels like that whole time was “just a moment” even though when we were in it it felt like it might never end.  It felt like we’d been frozen there forever and we might never escape.

Sometimes this process can feel like we are just taking a shot in the dark – even when we get confirmation that we’re on the “right path.”  But the nuggets of wisdom that bring us the good feelings propel us forward as we bring back the TRUTH to our awareness.  That feeling of “bringing it all back” into our conscious awareness is magical.

This path of awakening is not always linear, and often there WILL be bumps and obstacles and icky feelings along the way, but we CAN remember what we forgot.

No matter how lost we sometimes feel we ARE worth saving – even though it feels like a long shot – we CAN “have it all!”  WE DESERVE IT!

In the moments when you find an answer you’ve been seeking, or notice evidence in your life that things are shifting for you: CELEBRATE!  That helps solidify the remembering.  That helps strengthen the neural pathways in our brains for the “new” beliefs and thoughts that create and support the good stuff that we are wanting in our lives.

CELEBRATION IS WHERE IT’S AT!!!  Celebrate it ALL!

Celebrating EVERY good feeling and experience – no matter how “small” will magnify it and help you create more.

Don’t worry if it looks for feels silly!

Don’t worry if someone is watching!

You’re worth it!  More good stuff and more good feelings are TOTALLY worth the tiny moment of embarrassment.

Soon you won’t give a shit if people are watching!
All of the great stuff you are experiencing in your life will be the only thing that matters.

Heaps of Love to you ALL!

Christina

What does “Radiant Living” even mean???

By 2007 life events had led me to a point where I could no longer ignore the fact that I was put on this earth to
1. learn how to confidently hear and follow my “Inner Voice of Wisdom” and
2. help others do the same.

Often I just call it “The Voice” but it goes by many names: Intuition, Instinct, Gut Feelings, Higher Self, Inner Knowing, Emotional Guidance and more.  No matter what we call it or what we believe it to be, we’ve all “heard” it at one time or another – or THOUGHT we heard it and wondered.

Sometimes we listen and sometimes we don’t.

At pivotal moments in my life, this Voice has “come through” very loud and clear as it echoed in my head.  Other times it has taken a more subtle form: gentle nudges, strong feelings, hunches, feeling “guided” to take a certain action and other hard to describe phenomena .  But however my Inner Wisdom ultimately communicates with me, it always rings true in my heart and I have learned after 41 years of “experimentation” that it’s in my best interest to listen.

We are born tuned into The Voice, but the voices of our family, teachers and other “authorities” often steer us away from listening.  Sometimes this is done subtly and sometimes with strong coercion, threats or punishment.  By the time we are grown, most of us have learned to successfully ignore or drown out our Inner Voice of Wisdom with the external voices that hold power in our lives, our communities and in our culture in general.

What does all this have to do with Alternative Education or Partnership Parenting?

For me, choosing to approach education and parenting in this way is:

  1. a result of hearing (and finally following) my Inner Voice of Wisdom
    and
  2. a means by which I can continually practice listening – and recalibrating my actions and choices to line up with my Inner Wisdom

Almost every external voice I’ve ever heard has said things like:

  • “Children are too young and inexperienced to know what they want.  They CAN’T know what’s good for them.”
  • “Learning is difficult and can only happen when children are FORCED to sit and attend to ‘unpreferred’ activities.”
  • “There are certain things EVERY child MUST know and they must learn it in the time frame and order in which ‘educational professionals’ prescribe.”
  • “We must DEMAND respect from children (without reciprocating that respect).  We should not be our children’s ‘friends’ and if we don’t discipline, punish and force our children to do certain things, they will never learn respect, responsibility or be motivated to do anything productive with their time.”

My Inner Voice of Wisdom has NEVER agreed with these ideas on education and parenting that seem to be dominant in western culture at large.  The moment I made the decision to Unschool and try parenting without using punishment, the most profound sense of Peace came over me.  I’ve learned over the years that this sense of Peace is a strong indication that my actions are coming into alignment with my Inner Wisdom that has never steered me wrong.

Of course doubts and questions have arisen as our family has made our way toward Unschooling and Partnership Parenting, but these have just been opportunities for me to practice quieting those external voices and tune into myself and my children to find the answer that is right for our family.  And when things are still unclear I seek out experienced people on this path whose voices resonate with my my own Inner Wisdom.

Trusting children is a primary component to Unschooling and Partnership Parenting.  In my experience, learning to hear, trust and follow my OWN Inner Wisdom is ESSENTIAL to learning to trust my children.  How can we ever trust THEIR Inner Wisdom if we are unwilling or unable to trust our own?

So for me, Unschooling and working toward parenting in a non-coercive way can only be accomplished if I am CONTINUALLY tuning into my Inner Voice and recalibrating my actions to line up with that Voice.

Why RADIANT Living & Learning?

I’ve found that people who live from the inside out – meaning their motivations, choices and actions come from an authority within – these people GLOW.  Their lights shine more brightly in the world.  They RADIATE beauty and confidence and love and acceptance.  We are drawn to these people because we want to be like them – maybe not precisely imitating the details of their lives – but we want to live our lives with the confidence and authenticity they do.  There is a light in each of us that is trying to shine just as brightly.

We cannot live & learn “radiantly” when we are following someone else’s agenda.  That just dims our LIGHTS or blocks them out entirely.  When we are following our Inner Wisdom, pursuing our passions and fulfilling our life purpose, we SHINE.

At Radiant Living & Learning Events you will hear from Radiant Community Members who are creating the lives they desire by following their own inner voice.

If something you read on this website resonates with YOUR Inner Voice of Wisdom or makes you pause to reconsider the way you’ve always done things, the Radiant Living Community is sure to provide more inspiration and encouragement to confidently create the life you desire for yourself and your family.

We hope you will join us ONLINE or IN PERSON soon!

Heaps of Love,
