A Gentle Sunday To Seal The Healing- Day 254: 365 Radical Self Love Project

Often when we go through deep transformational shifts of any kind there is a phase of time when our tenderness and rawness requires us to embrace our new opening with some solid tender loving care.

After the deep healing and opening of this past week I knew today was one of those juicy days to relax, enjoy and most importantly be gentle.

I didn’t set an alarm today and just woke up when my body wanted.

I made a super healthy breakfast for me and my man, drank some baileys and coffee, snuggled up on the couch and just spent time doing the things that made me happy.

  • Perusing Pinterest
  • Getting fully prepped for my full days work tomorrow
  • Devouring an amazing book
  • Having heart to heart chats with the roomie
  • Receiving graciously a gift from my roomie
  • Making yummy raw salad snacks
  • And signing up for a delicious restorative hot yin class to close out the night.

The path to healing is unique to each of us but the process of what we need remains very similar. After we go deep- we need some gentle recoup time.

Just like when we fatigue our muscles in the gym to the max we need a rest day. Same goes for our spiritual and emotional training.

It feels good to be good to me and I am so looking forward to dancing with this space I have set free within me for this next chapter of my experience.

Radical Self Love to the MAX!!!

Why we love Rhea:

Rhea (WOAM)-1269First because she is absolutely fabulous. Rhea is one of those souls who you immediately feel at peace and at home around. I had the pleasure and honour of meeting Rhea in person this past November. She was just as lovely in person as I had imagined her to be. There is so much to be said about someone who is the real deal. Rhea is the same loving, bubbly, fun loving and deeply compassionate being behind the screen, on the stage and off the stage. This is incredibly important to us here at RSL. Authenticity is one of our mega access points to living a life on purpose and resonating in love consciousness. Authenticity is our ability to do the work to learn who we are in all our gloriousness. This means learning all the aspects of our being the darkness and the light and coming into loving acceptance of them both. Rhea has done the inner work in a BIG way and it shows in the way she shows up in the world. Her energy is so warm, friendly and kind- people glow just being around her. We love that she brings this type of brilliant energy to the world and that she walks her talk.

Why Rhea is our Featured Member today:

1471101_10151733794685740_553038051_nA massive part of the Radical Self Love Journey includes harmonizing the body and nourishing it to the core. Part of our spiritual nourishment includes our physical nourishment. This is Rhea’s area of expertise. I have found that the cleaner my body temple the easier it is to love myself. I am so blessed to have Rhea as a friend and advisor. I know if I’m always soaking up the abundant wisdom, knowledge and creativity she brings to the awareness of plant-based whole foods and self-care practices, that the rest of the world is vibin in her greatness too!

Dr Rhea is a toxicologist and published author who specializes in empowering people to self-heal, by teaching them how to utilize the body and mind as tools for health recovery, restoration, and rejuvenation, focusing on plant-based whole food wisdom and self-care. As a conqueror of Western-diet related disease, Rhea openly shares her life for others to use as a guide for their unique journey of health and wellness.

We completely resonate with her on this level. I personally have learned the value of utilizing diet paired with mind and emotional healing tools to heal a so called “incurable dis-ease” out of my body. To see another powerful love filled woman rocking the message of self healing really jazzes us up here at RSL.

2013-02-10 108We love the ways in which Rhea reaches out to her community and generously shares her insights, wisdom, research and healing techniques. It’s within her dedicated social media presence, integrative health coaching, workshops, retreats, speaking engagements, and publications that her manifesto, to inspire communities and change makers to wake up and smell the green juice – comes alive in the minds and hearts of people worldwide.

Rhea is a real time example of love in action. She lives the life she guides all of her clients to live which makes her incredibly effective and successful in her field. All you have to do is take a look at how clear her skin is, the twinkle in her eyes and sparkle in her soul to know her work in this world is spot on.

We totally vibe with her perspectives on self love as we too see the immense connection between honouring ourselves in every which way, always, situation independent and having a full self love tank. To Rhea self-love means offering ourselves nothing less than the most optimal mind-body fuel with which to flourish and rise. Yup we dig it.

Rhea is launching her new newsletter next month which you can check out here: http://livingrhea.com/

IMG_8270She currently also offers Complimentary Optimal Life Strategy Sessions to newbies to her community which you can contact her directly about!! We highly recommend hoping into one of these highly valuable sessions- she will knock your socks off!

Rhea wishes to leave this world knowing she played an active role in raising the consciousness of humanity, and acted as an incarnation of Mother Earth and all of her soul-nourishing medicines- based on the incredible work this woman has already accomplished in her lifetime we’d say she is well on the path to leaving this profound and incredible impact on the minds and hearts of people everywhere.

The Gloriousness of Being a Woman/ aka Taking a PD Day ;) Day 40: 365 RSL Project

This morning my period kicked my ass. Yup it’s true, my uterus awoke screaming in all her glory and getting anywhere other than my bed was just not in the cards.

After my 6 am 30 min crystal meditation this morning (yes I laid on the floor and covered myself in crystals) I stood up and made it as far as my bed- with the help of my man. At that point I made a choice that today was going to be a  KG personal development day.

I honestly love being a woman. Being a women to me has meant I’m hyper intuitive- I connect and understand other women and men just by being able to put myself in their shoes. I’m creative, passionate and fiery and by the same token I’m reflective soft and gentle. 941013_516963061702269_324638324_n

Part of being a woman is having a period. Plain and simple. Occasionally mother nature is out in full force in my body and what this means to me is, I am being called to really tap into my nurturing and intuitive nature, listen to my body and take the time to rest. My body always communicates what it needs and the more I get to know myself and love myself the clearer this communication is.

One of my mega passions for a long time has been learning the full complexity of a woman’s cycle, finding more and more effective ways of connecting within, understanding my body, honouring this incredible process, being in awe of the wonder of a woman’s ever changing body and to share what I’ve learned to help other women feel empowered about being a woman, their periods and reproductive health.

divine-feminineDuring the course of human history  many misconceptions, misunderstandings and some general not good shit has surfaced, in my opinion, as a way to separate women and men from the true magic of being alive AND through this separation provide the opportunity to evolve and expand our awareness of who we truly are.

375043_10200380541299763_442881674_nIn the realm of female reproductive health, periods and goddess tribes there was a time where as a collective we were really connected to the magic of this monthly cycle. We collectively went through another cycle of time where we became a little disconnected which brings us into the present time.

I’ve seen in the last 10 years of my journey some pretty incredible teachers, leaders and sisters step up to the plate and start shining their light into all of the information available when it comes to our cycles. I feel so incredibly honoured to share my path with such illuminated Goddesses who are ever encouraging women to question what they have been told and become more attuned at assessing what is truly in the best interest of their health as a woman.

The more I came to understand as a woman my body and brain are in a constant state of change all month long and this process of change will continue for a good majority of my life, I was able to start to learn my body, my cycle and then take actions accordingly to ensure I was taken care of during my time. Learning all of this allowed me to experience relief on many levels because at times I honestly felt a bit nuts with my fluctuating energy and moods. Educating myself really had lead me towards a feeling of greater self acceptance and radical self love.

I read a beautiful book, made a huge batch of high vibin green juice and ate raw chocolate macaroons. In my stillness and silence I was able to accomplish a great deal of smaller tasks, book an interview with Olivia Keane with her new show ‘For the Girls’ and just enjoy the beauty of being alive in this vibrant gloriously feminine vessel. Which is pretty freaking awesome 😉

Radical Self Love to the Max!!
