I am NOT the same person I was 8 days ago… Sharing my epiphanies
On Sunday, I returned home from 4 days at the most magical retreat in Joshua Tree, CA with 11 incredible women. We received personal coaching, sound baths, moving meditations, yoga, embodiment workshops, hiking, massages, cacao ceremonies, energy healing, private chef meals, and so much more.
I joined this retreat to receive, reset, and be pampered before my 4th child arrives. But I also joined simply because I just knew intuitively that I was supposed to be there... Even if it wasn't fully clear why, until the experience began to unfold.
This retreat was a complete reboot.
And the energy in Joshua Tree was perfect for it. The land felt neutral and unbelievably peaceful. Like it was calibrating me back to zero point, so that I could open my heart even wider, expand my energy, and embody my soul more fully.
As I settled in to more presence and stillness, I received some MAJOR unexpected epiphanies...
Where I'm still dimming myself for fear of being "too much."
Where I secretly want to be bolder and brighter, but hold back for fear of how people might react/be triggered/not resonate with me.
Where I'm letting my self protection run the show.
I also realized how I tend to swing the pendulum so far in terms of who I am and the stage of life I'm in...
In my 20's, I swung hard into my fiery/ sassy/ Leo Rising/ Sag moon energy/ IDGAF/ take me or leave me energy.
In my 30's, I swung hard into my watery/Pisces sun/ nurturing/ caring/ sensitive/ Divine Mother / caretaker energy.
And now as I stand on the precipice of turning 42 years old in a week and a half, I am finally finding my middle ground.
I am soft + strong. I am powerful + gentle. I am fiesty + motherly. I am intuitive + analytical.
I can be and hold ALL of it! I don't have to choose!
This is my personal authentic signature, and it's time that I allow people to experience me as ALL of it. This might sound so simple and obvious to you, but for me it feels like a weight being lifted that I didn't realize I was carrying for so many years.
I also had one more epiphany that I'm SO excited to share with you all...
One of the facilitators asked me the final evening what my favorite part of the retreat was...
Without stopping to think, my heart immediately responded:
"The connection."
I realized in that instant (once again) how much I love and crave being in community with like hearted women. How needed this is now more than ever!
It can be rare to find a group of conscious women who are open hearted, vulnerable, and ready + willing to learn + grow + expand.
When you find it, the magic you can create together is palpable. The connection is so rich and so deep. The internal resonance of feeling at home is indescribable.
This entire week I've been integrating the retreat experience and my own personal expansion. It feels like we crammed an entire year's worth of personal development, heart opening, and energy work into that 4 day span!
As I've been integrating, I realized It's time for me to bring together more like hearted women in community.
(A nudge I've been feeling for a looong time now, but wasn't ready to act on).
We need a safe space to share + receive without judgement, now more than ever.
As much as I'd love to facilitate this in person (perhaps one day?!), there are SO many amazing women all over the world that deserve to be connected. We all have pieces of the puzzle that will unlock things for the other. We all have wisdom + knowledge to share that can help each other grow.
The easiest way to do this (at the moment) is via a private Instagram chat group.
I would love to see you there, as I'm quite certain that The High Vibe Soul community is one of the most incredible groups out there!
If you would like to be a part of this beautiful group that's being weaved together, message me (the.highvibe.soul) with your Instagram handle and I'll add you to the list.
We'll let the chat unfold organically, but I envision us sharing things in the realms of spirituality, motherhood, personal growth, what's going on energetically/in your life, as well as our favorite resources + referrals. Participate as often or as little as you would like. Come as you are - no masks, no egos, just an openness and desire to connect.
I'll get this set up early next week... How fitting (I swear I didn't plan it this way, but I'm certain the Divine did!) with the closing of the Year of the Snake, and the entrance into the Year of the Fire Horse on Tuesday!
And if you're curious what the rest of February holds for you, make sure you check out the February Energy Forecast. The angels were wildly spot on per usual! The podcast is available on Youtube, Apple, Spotify, and all major platforms. If you're loving it, please subscribe, like, rate, and comment to help it continue to grow!
In case you missed it, people are really resonating with two other recent episodes as well: Discovering Your Purpose Outside Motherhood and Living Intuitively, Conscious Birth, & Spiritual Awakening w/Intuitive Channel Jess Gray.
I would love to hear what these episodes + shares spark for you. So send me a message or hit reply. And I hope to see you in our private chat group for conscious women.
Have a beautiful weekend friends!
From my light to yours, Xo Lyndsey
