Ripples of Grief with Victoria Volk

I think about all that is going on and that has been going on for the past year and it seems almost overwhelming. And there is one thought that always keeps me going when I wonder if my aspirations are too much….“There is always a way you just have to find it.”This is a mantra I have said since I was a kid. I have no idea where it came from but I can look back and see it is my cure to any limiting beliefs that come my way (either internally or from someone else).And this is what we are talking about today. So let’s dive into what a limiting belief is before coming back round to this mantra and how it can help you.Support the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice)

Limited Beliefs and how they are holding you back

Creativity isn't about producing something pretty. It's not about the end product at all. Creativity is an energy that you align with, a certain head space where you are open and receptive. To tap into this creative force you need to step onto the connection bridge. Anyone can do it and in this episode I talk about how you can too.@happymemichelleinfo@michellemarsh.com.auwww.michellemarsh.com.auSupport the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice)

Your Creative Self

Yin and Yang. Light and dark. We need contrast to appreciate the light.We need opposites for balance to occur.Opposing forces keep our world from falling apart. Eternal sunny days may sound lovely but we need the rain. The rain is our dark moments, the emotions we don't want. And yet the rain is a vital ingredient that allows the earth to flourish when the sun comes out.We need our shadow selves and yet we lock this aspect away when others are around. We even lock it away from ourselves.We act almost as if this aspect of ourselves is a distorted family member locked in a closet because we are ashamed and embarrassed of the way he acts and presents himself.Yet the shadow self is worthy on so many levels and today we are talking about why and how you can embrace and even be proud of him.I spoke of a coin. Light on one side. Shadow the other. One embraced and the other ignored and shunned. But it is the same coin. And every coin is a gift. Sometimes a coin is presented to us with the light side. We grab it, hold it near and usually are happy to show the world.But most times we are presented coins with shadow showing. We cower from it. Disgusted with what we just saw in ourselves and we try to throw it away. But it is our coin and cannot be discarded and so it returns. Eventually we shove it in the bottom of our back packs to carry round as the burden we see it as.What if we took the time to learn to flip the coin and see the other side? Imagine if all the negativity you see in you could in fact be gifts that you have not harnessed yet?The shadow self is a gift...................................................................www.michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice@happymemichelleinfo@michellemarsh.com.auSupport the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice)

Your Shadow Self

I remember when I first started  learning about my intuition… or even that I had one! I was a teenager and I loved the idea of something smarter than me guiding me. But I had no idea how to even reach for it. I was completely disconnected and it felt like someone handing me a book written in Spanish and saying now read this and understand it. I don't know Spanish and even though I might hold that book and look at the words with true desire in my heart to understand, there is no way I could. Tapping into intuition, honestly felt like that back then. In the beginning I was trying to jump straight to full understanding, loud and clear... But, if I want to read that Spanish book, first I will need to go elsewhere to learn and practice before being able to understand the Spanish text. It's the same with your intuition. First you need to learn and practice and then over time you will get better and your intuition will become clearer to you.So if you are brand new on this journey and have the desire to be more intuitive, but no idea how to move forward, just know that you CAN move forward and today, we are talking about HOW you can do that. www.michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice@happymemichelleSupport the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice)

Your Intuitive Self

Apocalypse: a "revelation", "an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling."Many say we are in an apocalypse right now, and I would have to agree. The world is not coming to an end but the veil is being lifted and all the things that where hidden or easy to ignore are now coming into the spotlight…. And it is uncomfortable. And it’s painful. But just because a festering wound is covered up, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. As we uncover these wounds in our society and our world, we are exposing them and allowing the opportunity for healing to begin. Some wounds are bigger and deeper than others and as such, will take a longer time and more resources than others.It is not the world apocalypse that I want to talk about today however. Today, I want to talk about our internal apocalypse, because without the internal apocalypse happening, the wounds that are exposed in our external world will not heal.Our routines were shaken up in recent months, many of us have found the veil lifted on all manner of false beliefs and patterns. And with this happening, many have hungered for normal life to resume so that they can busy themselves and forget what came up in the quiet that was enforced on them.This is not a good thing. With life now returning to some semblance of normality, we run the risk of stalling the internal apocalypse that has begun…. And in my eyes that is a missed opportunity for healing and thus creating a better life for ourselves on the other side of this apocalypse. @happymemichellewww.michellemarsh.com.auSupport the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice)

42: Internal Apocalypse

Do you love and respect yourself enough to stand up and celebrate what you have accomplished?And if so, do you love and respect yourself enough to be OK and even enjoy the seasons where you are not productive?There are seasons of life and we cycle through them whether we like it or not.There are seasons of hustle, action, productivity and creative output and then seasons of introspection, hermitting and incubation. There are seasons of wins and successes and there are seasons of failure and difficult learnings.All seasons are equally important and necessary in the support of its counterpart. And YET..... we tend to value some over the others. We shy away from the darker seasons, afraid to fully surrender to them.To love yourself wholly, is to love yourself during all of the seasons through the cycles you live..Our next Aromanosis Workshop is all about Self Love and how your unique connection.

41: Loving Yourself through the Seasons of Life

What is emotional release anyway and why should we invest our precious time in it?The answer is simple (sort of). Which would you prefer? Your emotional baggage surfacing on your own terms.... Or at some unexpected time when your body can't contain it any longer? I know which one I choose! In this episode you will learn all things about Emotional Release, what it is and how you can shape it to be emotional relief. Support the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/michelle-marsh/join-our-community/)

40: When your Body Asks for Emotional Release

I am sitting outside, wrapped in blankets as I do my morning meditation. I feel pretty content. I am excited, optimistic and full of quiet hope for what is evolving in this beautiful world of ours.We are in changing times and my work is to remain balanced, grounded and to keep my head from being influenced too much from the extreme opinions on a range of topics, which have much energy behind them right now. I also feel a whisper in my ear to share this awareness with those ready to listen. Clarity and truth are what I seek to perceive and to keep the knowledge front and centre that everything put out into the world goes through the filter of that person’s beliefs and that I also receive through a filter of my own bias. As autonomous human beings we need to give ourselves the time to sort our thoughts and beliefs and to ask the questionsIs this true? Could the opposite be true? The way I feel about this thing…. Is it because of how I truly feel or have I taken on board someone else’s agenda?In this week’s episode of Purpose Balance & Burnout I am asking you the question, Is your mind your own or are your thoughts and beliefs influenced by others?www.michellemarsh.com.au@happymemichelleinfo@michellemarsh.com.auSupport the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/michelle-marsh/join-our-community/)

39: Is your mind your own?

When I asked in our Aromanosis group about what subjects everyone is interested in, there was an overwhelming response that Abundance Mindset was a topic that is wanted.I have to tell you, this makes my heart so so glad! Because two years ago, the importance mindset plays on our external realities was not really a mainstream subject. In our current reality, however, more and more of us are waking up and taking back control over our minds and lives.In this episode I dig into what it means to have either a scarcity or abundance mindset and by the end of it, I want you to have a really good idea of where you sit on the sliding scale of abundance and scarcity.For information on our Aromanosis Practice Groupwww.michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practiceConnect with me on SM @happymemichelleEmail info@michellemarsh.com.auSupport the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/michelle-marsh/join-our-community/)

38: Scarcity Mindset Vs Abundance Mindset

If you ask me, learning about yourself is the most important thing you can do, in fact I would argue that it is a big part of why we are here on this earth living this life.Personal development is about learning how to go within, what is within, how to change what is within and THEN creating change in our external realities.https://michellemarsh.com.au/aromanosis-practice/@happymemichelleinfo@michellemarsh.com.auSupport the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/michelle-marsh/join-our-community/)

37: Why you can't ignore you any longer

Anyone else feeling slightly discombobulated at times?... Yep me too! My brain has been full, scattered and generally overwhelmed even though there is no immediate threat to myself or family right now. A few days ago, I leant into my feelings and reframed ‘discombobulated me’ into something much lighter and more effective.Eventshttps://michellemarsh.com.au/category/events/Support the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/michelle-marsh/join-our-community/)

36: The Discombobulated Scattered Brain

Why are we all so afraid to be ourselves? This is the biggest fear I see time and time again. And I get it because I have felt it too and releasing it was both the most terrifying thing I have ever done as well as the most liberating. There is a lightness that comes about when you make a firm decision to never act in a certain way or be a certain thing for fear of someone else not approving.I used to think I would turn into an assehole if I stopped caring about the approval of others. But the beautiful thing is that the exact opposite occurred as now, if I do or say something for someone else, it is purely because I want to make them feel good. I want to lift them. I want to give. It comes from a place of complete heart with no strings attached. It is very easy to get into a cycle of resentment when we are basing our lives on the approval of others. It’s easy, when in this state, to give and then have words running through your mind about how unappreciated you are. Or perhaps you give and then you feel like you have fallen short.One of the best lessons I learned was that you can never dance well enough to someone else's tune so it is impossible to keep them happy no matter how hard you try. Thus you might as well give up and dance to your own tune. You will find when you do this, others are attracted to you, because ultimately we all want to feel the freedom to be ourselves. Why are we so afraid then? Why do we feel naked? It comes down to us humans being sociable creatures. We need to feel like we belong. It is hard wired into us. The problem arises when we find ourselves in a culture or group where our true self is different from what the “norm” is. And it is easy to believe the whole world is full of people just like those surrounding you up till now.Here is the fun part though. There are people just like you. Your crew is out there, somewhere in this world and when you embrace who you are, you will find it easier to find them. Right now, if you are dancing to someone else's tune, if one of your true “crew” walked by, they would not recognise you as being like them.Be brave, be bold. And step out as yourself and you will soon discover that you are not alone for long. My challenge to you this week is to delve into who you are and ask yourself how you can be more uniquely you?.Why we want to fit inhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/brainstorm/201607/we-all-want-fit-in.@happymemichelleinfo@michellemarsh.com.auwww.michellemarsh.com.auSupport the show (https://michellemarsh.com.au/michelle-marsh/join-our-community/)
