You’ve probably heard of books like, “The Miracle Morning“, “The 5 am Club“, “My Morning Routine” and more that rave about how important it is to have a morning routine.
I don’t think I need to list the benefits of having a morning routine as I know you have already heard and read so much on the topic.
What I prefer to focus on is WHAT is beneficial for a WOMAN to have in her daily morning routine.
Ahem…have you noticed that almost all of the books on this subject are written by males?
That’s not a bad thing, it’s just that what men need in order to be their best selves and what women need to be & feel like our best, most empowered selves are different.
We females need connection & alignment to:
our physical selves
family members/partner
our feminine nature & energies
the Divine
There are many ways to connect and align with these four components. Since our dynamic souls adore choice, having a selection of options to choose from delights us and makes it easy to stick to a consistent routine!
The routines suggested by men become a bit too rigid for us, so we start out excited and eventually end up letting the routine slide until it totally disappears.
Oh yes… and then we shame ourselves because we aren’t “disciplined enough”.
This is not true. We CAN stick to a routine that is feminine in nature; a routine that flows, that changes, that is guided by our Soul.
It’s not that we don’t need structure, we do! We just simply need a structure that supports our dynamic nature.
In today’s video, I share a version of my own spiritual, feminine & elegant morning routine. The basics of it remain the same, yet I always check-in, listen & adjust depending on what I hear.
So, come along with me!
Do you have a morning routine? If so, what’s your favourite part?
It was a moment I’ll never forget… I felt complete bliss and fulfillment of every kind.
I was lying on the floor, covered in a warm blanket, listening to some peaceful music at a Spiritual Retreat when IT happened.
A Moment of PURE Fulfillment
Indigo and purple lights began swirling rapidly in my mind’s eye, faster and faster they swirled until I was no longer in my body, I was an energy, in union with Source Energy.
It felt like everythingness and nothingness all at the same time, and it was pure BLISS.
I’ve never really known how to fully express what happened to me but just recently I read in a book by Osho, that the Buddha describes “Nirvana” as meaning:
You have ceased to be; you are just an infinite emptiness like the sky. And the moment you are that infinity, you become full of stars, and a totally new life begins. You are reborn.”
Osho goes on to say,
Bliss is not something that you invent but something that you discover. Bliss is your innermost nature.”
Are You Craving Fulfillment, Bliss & Joy in Your Life?
The most popular question I receive from women is this…
“Erin, how do you find pleasure and personal fulfillment when you’re dealing with everything else going on in your life?”
Some of the “things” women mention are:
a parent recently passing
children getting ready or already having flew the nest
juggling the demands of raising children and work or running a business
health issues
Here’s what I always answer:
“Your level of fulfillment, success, health & bliss is directly related to the distance of where you are now to where you are in terms of knowing and embodying the fact that you are Divine Energy. That you are part of the the Source of All Energy – God.”
(Watch me fully explain this at minute 1:35 in the video above)
If the distance is wide between these two then your manifestations will take longer and your experience of life will be one of multiple growth opportunities so that you finally KNOW and EMBODY the truth of what you really are.
How do I know this? My gap used to be HUGE! Yet I felt I was a spiritual woman and a seeker of truth.
How to Close the Gap Between Where You Are Now & True Fulfillment
Six years ago I was in quite a state.
I was the mother of a newborn, after having a horrific birth experience (watch the video at minute 4:05 where I describe what made this such a medieval type birth!) with a 4 year old just starting school and an international online Parenting Business to run.
During the pregnancy of my daughter I was struggling with a few personal issues that made me fall into a depression, but after that birth experience I fell DEEP into depression.
Why? Because I felt completely abandoned by God. I had spent 3 months preparing myself to have a stunning, spiritual hypnobirthing experience and the fact that it went completely and utterly opposite from what I visualised made me…well…I’ll be brutally honest here…I gave God the finger.
I was done.
My world, my marriage, my body started crumbling down and I nearly lost everything after certain things took place.
Then a friend of mine told my husband and I about a Spiritual Retreat that was focusing on clearing our energy system.
It was at this spiritual retreat, after one particularly intense clearing session that I experienced what I described at the beginning of this post – nirvana and self-realization.
I walked out of this Spiritual Retreat reborn – literally. And life has never been the same…it’s been better than I ever dreamed – all of my desires, dreams, wishes have come true or are coming true as we speak…with elegance and ease.
What if I told you that I have created a Spiritual Retreat just for YOU that has never existed before?
For 3-4 months now I have been putting together the most beautiful, luxurious, elegant and sacred Spiritual Retreat that has never existed.
At this Retreat you will be doing the EXACT clearing sessions that I went through, with the SAME facilitator and oh, so much more!
I won’t go into all the specifics here, you can find them over at The Elegant Life Experience Registration Page HERE.
I talk about it in more detail in the video above at minute 9:30.
If what you read on the Registration page resonates with you, creates a feeling of excitement or desire, please know that this is a sign from the Divine that you need to be there.
Because you are a follower of The Elegant Life I am giving you “priority registration”. Please don’t spend time “thinking” about whether or not to go as I am only accepting 20 women for this Experience and there are ladies here in Dubai just waiting for the page to be open.
I am also doing many speaking engagements in the next few months and that will most definitely lead ladies to register.
This Experience will be THE BEST GIFT you will ever give to yourself! Trust me on that one! I cannot WAIT for women of every religion, faith, and belief system to evolve and elevate like they never knew possible!
There is an Early Bird Price as well, so be sure to take advantage of that. And better still, if you decide to come with a friend and share a room, your ticket is even less!
Have you ever felt LOVE so strongly that it feels like your body is 100% FULL?
You may look at your child sleeping and feel it, have a beautiful evening with your partner and feel it or meet a new, incredible partner and feel it.
How about Divine love? Have you felt that? Well, that’s what we’re talking about today – from an Elegant Life perspective of course;)
I’m going to show you two ways that you can elegantly connect with the Divine and in turn elevate your life and the collective consciousness of the planet. Ready?
First, let’s review something about energy.
The Frequency of LOVE
The vibration of Divine Energy is called zero point energy. A famous physicist named Richard Feynman describes it as this:
Zero point energy holds an order of magnitude with greater power than nuclear energy.
One teacup of empty space (zero point energy) contains enough energy to boil all the world’s oceans.
The Frequency of Love is very, very close to this zero point energy, so that is why we feel blissful and full and like nothing else exists when we are in the state of it.
And because we are in that high energy state, we raise the vibration of everything around us due to The Law of Entrainment.
This law states that anything with a low frequency that is in the presence of high energy must rise to match that high energy.
So, I can hear you asking me this now, “Erin, how do I get into that high frequency state of LOVE more often than just every once in a while?”
Two Ways to Get into the Frequency of Love
1) BE LOVE
One of the biggest gifts I received while being a Buddhist student back in the mid 90’s was to meditate on BEING an attribute of an enlightened being.
Every single day I do a specific meditation that I learned back in 1997. I’ll be teaching the full version to all the ladies who choose to join me at a retreat I’m hosting in May, but here’s the short version.
Part of it includes me saying,
Bless me with the love and compassion of an enlightened being.
Then I visualise the colour red filling my body…so much so that it overflows from me…through every pore and out into the universe.
Another way I BE Love is:
During the day, when I experience frustration, during Dubai traffic for example, I ask myself,
How would Consciousness BE in this situation?
You can substitute any word for Consciousness here: Jesus, Buddha, God…
The point is to consciously make the choice to BE LOVE. It’s one of the fastest ways of coming out of low energy and putting yourself into a higher frequency.
2) DO LOVE
Do what you love. Every day I wake up totally excited and energised to do my work in the world – my Calling. Do you feel this way?
Have you chosen to be a stay-at-home mom and really LOVE it?
Do you own a business that feeds your heart & soul?
Do you go to a place of work and really LOVE what you do?
If not, it is going to take a lot of energy for you to get into and stay in the state of LOVE and connection with the Divine.
(If you desire to know what your Calling is, start by viewing these two videos.)
When you are DOING something that uses every natural talent, ability or personality trait that you were given from the Divine you ooze LOVE Energy!
It’s easy to stay in Elegant Flow and feel fulfilled, peaceful and full of bliss in this state.
This week’s Focus:
Spend time contemplating whether or not you are BEING LOVE & DOING LOVE.
Notice the times, situations and people that bring you out of love energy and then make a CHOICE to get back into alignment.
You may need to rearrange things in your life in order to serve you better. What might those things be? Changing companies? Letting people go from your life? Setting clearer boundaries with people? Starting a business?
If you need any personal support in finding your Calling or dealing with dissatisfaction in your life please reach out to me.
You can have a Mentoring Session with me by clicking HERE. My work is very powerful as I am guided by the Divine during our session, and by now you know that any time you directly connect with the Divine, change and enlightenment occurs quickly and elegantly.
Until next week!
P.S. If you know of any woman who is Spiritual and adores beauty and beautiful things, please forward this post to them or Share on your Social Media channels. I desire to serve and support over 20,000 women this year and with your support that goal can become a reality. Thank you.
“I would do that if_____________.” Have you ever said this?
I would do that if I felt better.
I would do that if I didn’t have to look after my kids.
I would do that if I lost 20 pounds.
I would do that if my boss wasn’t so…
I would do that if I knew how to……
How many times do we as women turn away from our Calling? Loads. How do I know this? I’ve been coaching women from around the world for 10 years AND I used to be a woman who consistently rejected her soul’s true Calling.
For those of you who have followed me you may be thinking, “What? Look what you’ve done over your lifetime? You’ve taught around the world, lived in France, written a book, created multiple online businesses? How can you say this?”
Well…
Underneath everything I have done in my life, there was always, always a yearning to really connect with the Universe and have a huge impact on people’s lives. I am not sure I even knew WHY, I just had this strong, innate desire to! (aka “my Calling”, but I didn’t know this back then)
Throughout my life I accomplished things that consistently allowed me to do my Calling to a certain level yet deep down there always felt like more. I got side tracked the odd time due to my incessant need to prove myself; that I was good enough & worthy enough.
I used to feel such comparison with my sister who was the natural achiever. She didn’t have to try, she was just naturally gifted at school, piano, poetry, speaking. You name it, she won an award for it. And as a result I felt less than. Not special enough. Not appreciated enough.
So as many women do, we go on with our lives living with a certain amount of negative energy and limiting beliefs within us.
And this holds us back from acknowledging & knowing our Calling as well as feeling worthy enough to accept our Calling…
And therefore, we move through our lives feeling:
held back
anxious
unfulfilled
nervous
resentful
exhausted & overwhelmed
scared
frustrated
You name it! And the reason why is because we KNOW we are meant for more in our life.
Our soul feels it. Craves it. Desires it. Yearns for it!
But…we come up with fantastic, very logical reasons why we can’t, and these very logical reasons keep those yearning feelings pushed down for a while, but…
They’ll always come back again, because a Calling is a Calling, and you were created to fulfil it, so the feeling will never leave you.
You may never DO your calling, but it will always BE there, yearning to be fulfilled. (That’s the definition of a tragedy in my opinion)
How to Move Forward When Negative Energy is Blocking You
The FIRST question to answer is…How did I go from feeling completely happy, fulfilled, blissful, whole and connected to the Divine after my life changing year in France
to feeling hopeless, totally disconnected, profoundly depressed and completely lost 14 years later?
How is that even possible? Well…I had reached a level of evolution and was required to evolve some more. In fact little did I know, this evolution was to be THE most profound spiritual experience I could have ever believed or wished for.
What happened?
Well, I’ll save that story for another time, but the short version was that a friend of mine asked if I would allow her to practise a clearing technique on me. She was training in it and needed some practise hours.
In the middle of our session she found an area that had some negative energy blocked so told me to “tone”. It’s like saying , “Ahhhhhhhhh”. The problem was that I couldn’t. I literally could not get a sound out! Watch the video above at minute 3:00 to see me demonstrate this bizarre experience.
After multiple tries my friend said, “Erin, when you finally release this you’ll be free”. I’ll never forget those words because at that moment that is really what I wanted – to be free from all the horrible unhappiness and depression I was feeling inside.
The BIG Clearing that Occurred!
After the session I went home to England and felt better, more open, but still felt that yearning to clear what I hadn’t been able to. So, when my friend emailed me a couple of months later saying that there was going to be a 6 Day Retreat where we would be doing A LOT of clearing my hubby and I said, “YES!”
This too is a long story that will be told (definitely at The Elegant Life Retreat I’ll be hosting in late May) but for now I’ll give you the short version.
One day during the beginning of the retreat I felt extremely down. I felt like I was so far from ever being able to feel the way I desired, that I didn’t “get” how this Universe worked and that the connection with my Divinity was almost non-existent.
The negative energy inside of me was huge. So much so that I went up to my room and wrote in my Journal all the frustrations I was feeling. I really didn’t want to go back down for the afternoon session but my husband came to get me and persuaded me to finish what we started.
We did another clearing and while I lay there afterwards I had THE most profound experience of my life. My physical body dissolved and I was at one with Consciousness – the energy of me was in union with the All energy- Divine Consciousness. I struggle to share what I felt because it is indescribable, but I sometimes say, “I had a near death experience without dying.”
I remember feeling like, “I never want to leave here” and I could hear my physical self saying, “Wooooowww”.
Right after this I went up to my room and had downloaded to me Universal truths of how this Universe works, why we’re here, what we’re supposed to be doing and HOW to do it, how to manifest the life we want, how to experience this feeling of bliss consistently and more.
I had a KNOWING that:
a) We are part of this all encompassing Divine energy
b) We all have a Calling and when we clear the clutter and negative energy that exists in us we are able to live out that Calling and live Heaven on Earth.
When You Clear Negative Energy Your World Opens Up
Since that time 6 or 7 years ago, I have opened up even more and fully accepted who I was created to BE in this lifetime- A Spiritual Teacher of Divine Truths.
Last year I was told by Consciousness that The Elegant Life needed to expand even more.It needed to help women awaken and come back HOME to their Divinity, to assist them in reconnecting with Consciousness but also to fully accept and LOVE who they’ve been made to be and what their Calling is in this lifetime.
I’ll be sharing more about this in the coming weeks. (Squeal!)
A Gorgeous Sign That I am Truly Fulfilling my Calling
This summer, I travelled to the location I had been guided to host The Elegant Life Retreat in order to test it out and see if it really was the right location.
All I can say is….WOW! I will share this most exquisite story with you another time but if you watch the video above from minute 10:00-14:00 you’ll see a video I took in this location that gave me shivers,warmth, & utter surety that yes, Erin, this is it. This is it. And you are on the right path of fulfilling your Calling.
Now it’s YOUR turn! If you’ve been feeling a deep desire to BE more, DO more, or EXPERIENCE more in your lifethis is the time to Find Your Calling and Clear any Negative Energy that is blocking you from doing that.
Forget Finding Your Purpose! You Need to Learn How to Find Your Calling.
Do you ever wonder whether or not you’re living your PURPOSE? Or whether you even have a purpose?
I have spoken to SO many women who either feel lost and confused about what their purpose is or simply depressed that they still haven’t found it.
The simple, elegant truth is that it’s not your purpose you should be focusing on, it’s your Calling.
You see I too used to focus on discovering my exact purpose in life. It felt finite – a place to find and then achieve. (Former Type A Personality for ya!)
When I finally had the Spiritual Truths downloaded to me, after attending a Spiritual Retreat, I understood that the only purpose any of us have is to expand Consciousness.
The Universe itself is continuously expanding. In fact, current research by cosmologists indicates that the universe may expand to eternity!
Now, since we come from this Source, this Consciousness, we too innately have within us the inclination to expand.
So, our Purpose is to expand Consciousness, but the way in which we help this Consciousness expand is through our Calling.
Each of us has our own unique Calling that is signature to us.
What IS a Calling?
The dictionary definition is: a strong urge towards a particular way of life or career; a vocation.
A more Spiritual definition is: The signature programming of your soul by which you help Consciousness expand itself.
An Elegant description would be: Something that you innately share with others that causes them to Experience, Be or Realise something.
2 Steps to Find Your Calling
Step 1:
Look back over your life and remember the happiest moments of you sharing something.
Notice how without you consciously “doing” anything, people experienced things like beauty, love, freedom, wholeness… just by interacting with you.
Can you remember feeling lit up, fulfilled, joyous and totally present? This will give you clues into your calling.
Has anyone ever complimented you on something that felt easy for you?
Has anyone ever said something to you that stuck in your head for years?
For me, I was raised in the Catholic faith. I didn’t connect with all the rules and protocol but I did connect with Jesus. He seemed to embody the characteristics of a kind, loving human and I looked to him as a role model as to how I wanted to be.
Then my mind was expanded by a powerful experience involving my puppy.
While my family was visiting some friends, my puppy ran off after being put outside by my father for peeing on the friend’s sofa. When we went to let him back in the house we couldn’t find him. We looked for DAYS, in a forest that surrounded this friend’s secluded home.
I was devastated.
Out of desperation, the mother of the family said, “Gosh, too bad we don’t know a physic.”
My mother instantly remembered one that she had heard about back where we lived. They called this physic and she described exactly where he was (on top of a hill in a field that used to be where a crop of hemp had grown, in a clearing like a small animal would rest in.)
Our friend knew exactly where this was so we drove the long distance to get there, decided to created a straight line and all walk forward.
I walked straight then all of a sudden heard a whimpering sound.
Visit allwallpapersfree.blogspot.com
“Lucky?” “Lucky?” I cried out.
More whimpering came until I peeked around a tree and there, in a clearing, on a little patch of flattened out grass was my precious puppy.
I ran to him and called loudly to the others. We were beyond overjoyed! I really could not believe that he was exactlywhere that lady said he was.
From that pivotal moment, I began investigating how people could know things when they were in a completely different place.
What did this lady tap into in order to know this? I wondered.
And so my Spiritual understandings evolved.
As I evolved I found that I adored helping people. Every time I helped a classmate with something they struggled with I felt so whole, so fulfilled, so overcome with JOY & happiness.
When I was a teenager, a meditation teacher who could read people’s energies and auras, pointed to me and said,
“You. You my dear are going to do some beautiful things in this world.”
“I am?” I thought. I knew I wanted to be a school teacher, but what was going to be so special about me?
I ended up becoming a a high profile teacher who could turn around troubled children, help extremely shy children become unbelievably confident and help the average child become their best, most confident self.
Now, during my life I experienced quite a bit of trauma; abuse of all kinds, divorce, grief…and through all of that, the feeling that grew was DEEP empathy for people.
My constant statement was:
“You can never judge someone as you don’t know what they’ve been through.”
Later, I found myself in France, yearning for happiness. That’s all I wanted, but after going through one of the most difficult years of my life, I didn’t know HOW to be happy.
This is when my yoga teacher “friend”, Guy, introduced me to Buddhism. It was here that I learned how to embody the attributes of abundance, compassion, peace, health etc. Embodying these attributes gifts you an inner fulfilment so great that you begin to glow from the inside out.
I was finally able to walk around BEING these attributes instead of just wishing for them.
It was at this time that an internationally renowned Buddhist Lama honoured me by giving me the Spiritual name “Karma Changchun Paldra”, meaning “Radiant Light of Enlightenment Mind”.
I later became a parenting coach, helping stressed, overwhelmed, & exasperated parents to be the parent (and person) they desired to be.
The one comment I received from all my coaching clients and friends was always, “You are SO easy to talk to!” or, “I haven’t shared this with anyone, you are the first.”
And so on and so on and so on…can you see a pattern?
I LOVED helping people.
People have always, always opened up to me on a deep level after being in my presence for only a couple of minutes.
I experienced great trauma which gifted me the ability to understand people in a completely compassionate way.
I was gifted teachings that allowed me to understand how to be happy and feel fulfilled.
The Universe provided opportunities for me to learn & understand Divine Truths
I was given the natural ability to teach & inspire
Now, let’s move on to exactly how to state what your calling is.
Step 2:
Write in a brief statement what people naturally experience as a result of being in your presence or when they interact with you.
Complete this statement:
People Experiencing _________.
Other forms of this are:
People Realising _____________.
People Being _____________.
Word that might fill in the blank are:
freedom
love
beauty
abundance
unity within family
everything is possible
oneness with God/Source/the Divine
For me, I would write:
People experiencing unity & oneness with their Divinity.
In a retreat I’ll be hosting in May I’ll be going more deeply into how to find your Calling and how to weave it into your entire life and career, but for now, go through these two simple steps.
It will give you the ability to consciously come to every relationship or person you encounter and KNOW & FEEL that you are fulfilling your purpose AND your calling.
With so much love,
