Soul Awareness Meditation - Sunday
Before the week asks anything of you, there is an invitation. A pause. A moment to arrive without leaving yourself. Many women are noticing a quiet shift right now. The questions that once guided their weeks. What’s needed? What’s expected? What must be handled? are giving way to something deeper: How do I want to meet my life… and remain intact? This is not slowing down due to uncertainty. It is a decision. It is maturity. It is leadership taking a quieter form. Today’s Soul Awareness Meditation is here to support presence over pressure. Orientation over urgency.A steady, embodied way of entering the week from within. There is nothing to fix. Nothing to prepare.Nothing to get right. Simply allow yourself to be met by your breath, by your body, and by the quiet intelligence within youthat already knows how you want to move through the days ahead. When you’re ready, begin. Let this meditation hold you as the week unfolds. https://youtu.be/EF5FSDCnC4M

The star in my movie takes time to respond to situations, never rushing, patiently consulting her inner wisdom, and unafraid to say no. This was lovely. Thanks @Josette Diaz
The Open Studio Replay
What a wonderful first meeting! 🎉 Our first Open Studio gathering was an invitation to pause and return inward. 💙 This involved listening through the body and the hand, allowing awareness to move onto the page without interpretation or judgment. We then moved into gentle Noticing Questions, offered as doorways rather than directives. Each woman was invited to choose one or sit with them all, honoring her own rhythm: - What feels quietly renewing in me? - What wants a little time to grow beneath the surface? - Where do I feel the urge to rush, and where can I soften? - How can I honor a slower rhythm this month? The Open Studio exists as a space to slow down, listen deeply, and connect within—where insight emerges naturally when we permit ourselves to pause. No performance. No pressure. Just presence, awareness, and a shared moment of inner listening. Enjoy the Replay! Next meeting is 1/21 1:00 pm PDT

I loved watching the replay. There's such value in watching and listening to yourself share, almost a way of validating, integrating, embodying what you uncovered during the exercise. Thanks for this opportunity to pause @Josette Diaz Thanks @Christine Vabre for sharing your insights. I loved hearing about your belief "I'm in good hands" - like a cozy blanket wrapped around you.
A Gentle Reminder
As we gather our attention inward and prepare to move into a new week, I want us to step into a deeper question, one that signals a shift in how we lead, show up, and create from a grounded, embodied place. This Sunday, I’ll be recording a guided meditation meant to help you anchor into that energy, the energy of presence, clarity, and integrity, so you can walk into your week aligned, not scattered. This week, we will focus on becoming more expansive, achieving clarity, and stepping into boldness in our communication. This does not mean you become confrontational; it speaks to the truth. Your truth propels you forward without shrinking for a particular outcome or leaving yourself behind. Here is your invitation: To lead from presence. To choose from intuition. To act from aligned intelligence, full body, full soul. I’ll be recording the meditation this week and posting it here. Please carve out the time for yourself. This is a small gift you can give yourself during a time that most of us are busy and rushing to get it all done. There is no better time to give yourself a timeout. Enjoy tapping into your rhythm and reflecting on the week ahead that is designed for you, by you. Recording will be posted at 11:00 am PDT

As always, great meditation @Josette Diaz I received clarity on my week and also moving into 2026. I wanted to share the lake I visualized in the meditation. It's a photo my son took at Emerald Lake, near Field, BC, Canada. The only thing missing is the wildlife. I look forward to your Sunday Soul Awareness Meditations.

@Josette Diaz He sure did.
Flashback! How many of you remember Louise Hay?
Enjoy this video...she brought affimations back to top of mind. 💙 What do you think of this? Are Doubt and other "negative" feelings, friend or foe?
