The ritual of centering, and creating a sacred space. Such an important part of energizing and creating balance in your life. Every time I have a women’s conference, my MasterMind retreat, or my women’s retreat it’s even more important. These are the “big things” in my work. When I have a group of amazing women showing up, ready to be vulnerable, to step in, reach, and grow, I must have the strength to hold the container.
Centering.
One obvious centering ritual is just to be sure that I energetically channel what I think is important in the material for those that are showing up. I write each of their names on the cover of the workbook and flip through the pages feeling the vibe and energy. I visualize the energy and breakthroughs that will happen while we are together. I feel laughter and love.
Of course I will be open to possibilities and what needs show up in the room! That’s why this centering ritual is about energy and heart.
Centering also requires that I nurture self.
Painting my nails is one of my favorite! Of course, Earl picked the colors, LOL. I adore the ritual of painting my nails, feeling pretty, feminine and strong. I am even more centered by having someone nurture me in such a simple way by picking colors for my nails. Simply out of love.

Centering is a powerful way to indulge in your senses, your spirit, and the strength of who you are. It allows me to be more of who I need to be in the world. Sometimes it’s just simple things that create that power.
Do you have simple rituals that encourage you to center?

Some days all I do is cry. I’m crying because I’m scared. Happy. Sad. Angry. Frustrated. In love. Hurt. Elated. Weary. Energized. I cry watching TV. (Yes, even commercials.)
On those days I just keep indulging in the tears. And that’s ok. Some days it’s exactly what I need.
Being able to emotionally connect and not feel guilty is so powerful for us as women. Too often we hear we are too emotional so we cut off feeling. Feeling, and trusting our feelings is truly feminine power. Besides there is a difference between expressing your feelings and being “emotional.”

On days I cry, I may look emotional on the outside. In reality, it is my way of connecting with myself and my vulnerability. It is the energetic expression of my feminine energy. I am feeling. I am being that present in the moment.

Indulgence. The beauty of being a coach is being able to fully indulge in the experience of your clients, and people who show up to learn from you even for a moment in time.
I recall a fun, intense, and joyous experience learning and growing in the spirit of harmony together. As the facilitator and leader of my program empowering women; it was exhilarating as they were implementing it. I am overjoyed to watch the insights, emotions, and revelations.
[Tweet “I completely indulge in the joy of others.”]
I also recall an amazing VIP session with the client. The beautiful thing? We met at a taproom! How joyous is it to indulge in breakthroughs with a client. “Tapping” (lol) into the clarity that’s needed to reach the next level, all over a beer and a burger!
I am indulging in the beauty that is my life with my clients. Do you indulge with your clients? How so?

Yes it’s 4 o’clock in the afternoon on a Monday, I am in the bathtub. Indulging in my favorite bath bombs because they last like 30 minutes and float on the top of the water. (The black and white bag is a hint, of this amazing soap maker and friend!) This blue scent is gypsy….so perfect when indulging.
Think about that: indulging is like being a gypsy! One definition I love is simply “a free-spirited person”. Wow, isn’t that beautiful? Indulgence is all about your free spirit!
So here I am in the tub, I have a glass of wine and trashy novel to read! I also have a notepad and pen because great ideas hit me in the strangest places! (Yeah, writing on my tablet in the tub, not a good idea, lol!)
Indulgence has to happen. It’s a part of what keeps us connected. It helps our soul be happy. It nourishes your mind. It allows you to be fully you and the greatest you have to offer the world. It allows your spirit to be free. It engages your senses. It grounds your personal power and confidence.
Indulgence allows manifesting to occur at its highest energetic level.
We all need to indulge. Especially women. Which is why this blog is for you. I will write about indulgence for each and every woman who knows she wants more. Deserves more. Can feel and see and sense the power of who she is.
I want women to know and see that feminine and strong are not mutually exclusive. That you can step into your personal power in your own authentic way. Sometimes we need to look at how we indulge our SELF to create that in our lives.
This blog series will look at indulgence in many areas: love – emotional healing – fun – relationships – career – and more fabulous topics. You ready to find your spirit and indulge? To see how finding your personal powerful, bestest self will allow your free spirit to emerge? Let’s do this!
Where are you indulging?
