Who are you truly without what or who you identify with? “We need to tap into who we are beneath the surface to be able to then show up as our authentic selves.”Tapping into our true feminine nature is about being present within the self, so we can live, love and relate from an authentic place. However, our identity has been created for us, according to the boxes we have been conditioned to fit into even though they don’t align with who we are. We have sacrificed our needs and boundaries creating an internal conflict within our female psyche. This is, however, being turned around by COVID giving us permission as women to come back into more of our internal rhythm and be more productive. To know your identity, you have to learn how to practice discipline and discernment in a way that honours your true feminine nature through self-awareness and self-care, honouring your needs and boundaries so you can create healthy habits that respect who you truly are beneath the surface.

Do You Trust What Your Body is Telling You, or Do You Ignore, Reject or Suppress These Vital Messages That Are Signalling Something is Out of Balance?Everything that we are, all our power, our pain and our potential exists in the body. Who we are as women exist in the body. Who we are at the very root of our true nature exists in the body and in our relationship to our body.Learning to trust in the body is not easy, as the relationship we have with our body and our emotions has been conditioned through the idealism of perfection by society creating the great disconnect and the suppression of our true and innate nature. To return home into our body, to be fully present within it so we can understand the true depth of who we are as women we will need to change the narrative from the inside out and this starts with learning to listen to the needs and manifestations of the body from a place of heart-centred trust and acceptance. In This Episode You Will Explore:1) How we have been conditioned by society through the idealism of perfection2) How we judge and compare ourselves to others and the nature of performing, conforming and pleasing others3) The suppression of trust and ownership of our true nature4) Changing the narrative we have with our bodies through listening and responding5) How are bodies are communicating to us at every given moment through the emotions and symptoms that are manifested and what we can do to explore what is out of balance. 6) The nature of dis-eases and dis-orders and redefining the relationship we have with them7) Reclaiming of personal power and trust through deep conversation with the body and emotions.With Love, Nicola xGET EXTRA JOURNAL PROMPTS HEREGET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK - Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships https://bit.ly/EmotionalTriggersPlaybookIMMEDIATE ACCESS - The Hidden Feminine Workshop Series http://bit.ly/HiddenFeminineWorkshopSeriesLET'S HAVE A CHAT - Break Free From the Ghosts of Your Past with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Program https://bit.ly/ShadowWorkForWomen

Do You Trust Yourself More to Do What’s Right For You or Do You Trust More What Others Tell You is Right?In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring the Trust Wound, and how this one aspect is the most fundamental foundation block of our personal power, and yet is the one aspect that is most often knocked out of sync from the moment we are born. It is our immediate family and caregivers, and the environment in which we grow up that shapes and informs our relationship with trust. As we grow through life, we tend to trust others more, than our own judgment simply because we really don’t know how to trust ourselves as we’ve never been taught. When we learn how to trust ourselves, our whole lives change and the way in which we relate with others changes too, as we have more inner confidence to practice discernment and act on our own intuition.

In today’s episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I’m exploring Dream Work as one of the great tools of Shadow Work.Most of us dream whether we are conscious of them or not, and when we learn how to work with our dreams they become a valuable resource to help us explore the hidden side of our female psyche. While our dreams can be either weird, scary, meaningful, delightful or just plain nonsense, they hold clues which rise from the depth of our unconscious while our ego is asleep and our bodies are going through its daily process of rest and recuperation. Each clue, when we learn how to interpret them, shows us what is asking for our attention that is now seeking resolution so we can break out of our limitations and move forward with more balance and harmony in our lives and relationships.

Are you navigating a relationship breakdown through its limitations so you can experience more of it's potential?In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring the complex dynamics of navigating a relationship breakdown, an aspect of our lives that can be deeply painful and traumatic, as we have to face the part of ourselves that fears being honest because we are afraid of being rejected or rejecting and hurting the other.Yet, the relationship breaks down because we have reached a limitation within the self and within the relationship and the shadow is fully activated, on an individual and relationship level. This challenges us to separate from the relationship dynamic so we can reclaim a sense of identity, giving us the opportunity to practice honesty and explore whether there is still potential in the relationship from love, dreams and desires.With Love, Nicola xGET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK - Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships https://bit.ly/EmotionalTriggersPlaybookIMMEDIATE ACCESS - The Hidden Feminine Workshop Series http://bit.ly/HiddenFeminineWorkshopSeriesLET'S HAVE A CHAT - Break Free From the Ghosts of Your Past with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Program https://bit.ly/ShadowWorkForWomen

In this episode, I’m exploring the Madwoman Archetype, and how she shows up in our lives and in our relationships. The Madwoman Archetype is one we all know too well as she manifests in the thin line between sanity and insanity, pushing us to the very edges of our psyche. While the Madwoman Archetype is identified as destructive, sabotaging our relationships and our potential, she is also a source of great power informing us what is out of balance on the inside that now needs resolution so her creative fire can manifest as her driving force.With Love,Nicola xGET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK - Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships https://bit.ly/EmotionalTriggersPlaybookIMMEDIATE ACCESS - The Hidden Feminine Workshop Series http://bit.ly/HiddenFeminineWorkshopSeriesBOOK A SESSION - Break Free From the Ghosts of Your Past with 1:1 Shadow Work Sessions for Women https://bit.ly/ShadowWorkForWomen

Are Your Boundaries Balanced Or Are They Blocking Your Potential?In this episode, I'm exploring how to understand our boundaries to reach our greatest potential. Boundaries are an innate survival tool that allows us to filter what we allow into our lives. While boundaries are necessary, we explore how those same boundaries can block us from our greatest potential and how we can overcome them with self-love, self-care, and respect, and how they put a strain on the relationship we have with ourselves and with others.

In today's episode I'm joined by Imelda Almqvist, International Teacher of Shamanism and Sacred Art who has published two books: Natural Born Shamans: A Spiritual Toolkit for Life (Using shamanism creatively with young people of all ages) in 2016 and Sacred Art: A Hollow Bone for Spirit (Where Art Meets Shamanism) in 2019. She has presented her work on both The Shift Network and Sounds True. She appears in a TV program titled Ice Age Shaman, made for the Smithsonian Museum, in the series Mystic Britain talking about Neolithic arctic deer shamanism. Her third book, Medicine of the Imagination (Dwelling in possibility) will be published by Moon Books in 2020.Imelda was a presenter on the Shamanism Global Summit in both 2016 and 2017 and on Year of Ceremony with Sounds True. She is a regular presenter on The Shamanic Path with Sounds True. She appears in a TV program made for the Smithsonian Channel (the series is called Mystic Britain) about the Mesolithic site Star Carr in Yorkshire talking about arctic deer shamanism! Imelda divides her time between the UK, Sweden and the US. She has just finished her third book “Medicine of the Imagination: Dwelling in Possibility” and she is currently working on her fourth book, about the pre-Christian spirituality of The Netherlands.We are discussing how Inner Work / Shadow Work is a vital part of our human journey and how we all have a responsibility to take an active part in it to make the necessary shifts needed in the external world, and how external activism has to be matched with inner activism.We also look at the role of the ancestors and how they give us a map for what we are currently experiencing, individually and collectively and what they can teach us about where and who we are now.Imelda shares some of her own stories of working with the Shadow Self, how she engages with it in her relationships with her family. She also believes that Shadow Work "should be like brushing our teeth or washing our hair or whatever it's like a form of spiritual and psychological hygiene" and that it needs to be on the curriculum in schools, as the younger generations are going to be the "doctors, the politicians, the nature keepers, and the earth keepers of the future".CONTACT IMELDA ALMQVISTWebsite – http://www.shaman-healer-painter.co.uk/Email – imelda.almqvist@gmail.comFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/imelda.almqvistBOOKS BY IMELDANatural Born Shamans: A Spiritual Toolkit for LifeSacred Art: A Hollow Bone for SpiritWith Love, Nicola x

Today I'm joined by Jessica Dawn Bourque, Shamanic Evolutionary Astrologer, and Creatrix of The Temples of Moon to explore Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld and how her journey is a symbolic rite of passage for all women as we move from the victim archetype through the bonds of the mother, to the abduction of our soul’s essence by the patriarchal shadow, and come full circle through the darkness to own the truth and depth of who we truly are, as the sovereigns of our own internal kingdom.Jessica is a highly sensitive empath and intuitive healer with an extraordinary ability to sense and tune into energy and to listen and receive insight to facilitate deeply soulful transformation through her gift as a Cosmic Channel, connecting the above and the below.With Love, Nicola x
