- 1:07Carrie Lingenfelter: Join us Hi there and welcome back to another episode.
- 1:12Carrie Lingenfelter: It's Keri here, your friendly, intuitive, conscious mama, and I'm so excited about today's episode, this bonus episode.
- 1:19Carrie Lingenfelter: We are focusing on parenting and the spiritual gifts that come along with it.
- 1:25Carrie Lingenfelter: So come along with me on this journey.
- 1:28Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm so excited to have you guys today.
- 1:29Carrie Lingenfelter: I have a guided meditation in the works with an affirmation and prayer here for you today.
- 1:36Carrie Lingenfelter: Let's jump right in.
- 1:38Carrie Lingenfelter: So this is going to be one that's geared toward the moms, and then I'm going to do one that's geared toward the moms, and then I'm going to do one that's geared toward the masculine energy side.
- 1:45Carrie Lingenfelter: This one's going to be feminine energy.
- 1:47Carrie Lingenfelter: Today, and if you're like me, as you enter into, maybe, middle age maybe you're younger and not there yet I am really embracing this feminine energy.
- 1:57Carrie Lingenfelter: And a huge way of helping me to feel that feminine energy is to stay conscious in my parenting journey.
- 2:06Carrie Lingenfelter: Now, am I conscious every single day?
- 2:09Carrie Lingenfelter: Heck, no techno.
- 2:11Carrie Lingenfelter: I am a sensitive soul living in this human experience.
- 2:15Carrie Lingenfelter: So that is why, when we're listening to spiritual gurus and everyone, including myself, anybody listening in, we have to remember that it's coming from us.
- 2:25Carrie Lingenfelter: This journey, this realization, this empowerment is coming from ourselves.
- 2:32Carrie Lingenfelter: This is coming from our hearts, our souls, our spirits, our connection with who we truly are.
- 2:40Carrie Lingenfelter: And something to keep in mind is maybe something works one time, maybe it doesn't work the next time, and so that's why I love giving you guys different spiritual tools, things that work for me, because as I was getting out of the shower this morning, I was in my head.
- 2:57Carrie Lingenfelter: I was like I'm not going to listen to a podcast today, I'm not going to listen to an audiobook book, I'm going to just be present and mindful.
- 3:04Carrie Lingenfelter: And guess what?
- 3:05Carrie Lingenfelter: That mind was not mindful, it was full.
- 3:08Carrie Lingenfelter: Yeah, it was full and it was talking on his mind, but it was not being mindful.
- 3:13Carrie Lingenfelter: So these tools and gifts are things that can help us along in our journey.
- 3:19Carrie Lingenfelter: What does becoming a parent and jumping into the spiritual deep end mean?
- 3:25Carrie Lingenfelter: What does that look like?
- 3:26Carrie Lingenfelter: It means being conscious, being open to receive, being able to look at a challenge in front of you and look at it as what am I meant to grow, heal, learn in this moment.
- 3:44Carrie Lingenfelter: If there's any reactions that bubble up for us, looking back at that moment, you can journal, you can look at it through meditation, talking to somebody, somebody that's also spiritual, that can help you a lot.
- 3:57Carrie Lingenfelter: It can help you to think about well, carrie, you have this going on in your life and that could be why it's manifesting in this way.
- 4:05Carrie Lingenfelter: So having those core group of people around you that you can connect with and that are also on a spiritual journey as well is really important, and so I wanted to give you guys a really cool guided meditation that I've been using.
- 4:19Carrie Lingenfelter: I've actually been using it with my daughter she's six, going on seven, and I felt this calling of needing feminine, empowering energy for her.
- 4:31Carrie Lingenfelter: So we're going to start with this one today.
- 4:33Carrie Lingenfelter: We're going to sit back in our chairs, close our eyes, put our feet on the ground.
- 4:38Carrie Lingenfelter: Before I get started, this is based off of a guided meditation that was published by Psychic Psychology, and then I've added some pieces of my own to it.
- 4:48Carrie Lingenfelter: So thank you, psychic Psychology.
- 4:49Carrie Lingenfelter: So we're going to sit back in our chairs.
- 4:52Carrie Lingenfelter: We're going to put our feet flat on the ground, our back against the chair.
- 4:56Carrie Lingenfelter: We're going to feel, our feet flat, connected with the earth.
- 5:00Carrie Lingenfelter: We're going to feel how powerful and strong and stable that earth is under our feet.
- 5:11Carrie Lingenfelter: Let's picture our heart expanding.
- 5:14Carrie Lingenfelter: Let's picture our third eye, which is in between your eyes just above, being open and ready to receive.
- 5:24Carrie Lingenfelter: We are one with ourselves.
- 5:26Carrie Lingenfelter: We are one with those around us that have come before us and that are guiding us in this moment.
- 5:33Carrie Lingenfelter: I have my hands open in a receiving position.
- 5:38Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm going to picture a it's called a feminine energy ball in front of where my uterus is, or my uterus would be.
- 5:51Carrie Lingenfelter: It's outside of my body and it's a ball of energy, of divine feminine energy.
- 5:57Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm going to picture my uterus energy connecting to that feminine energy.
- 6:03Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm going to picture my ovaries energy connecting to that feminine ball of energy, and I'm going to picture my two sciatic nerves, which sit behind my ovaries, just above my bottom region, connecting to the feminine energy.
- 6:21Carrie Lingenfelter: All of these are united energy and connected as one.
- 6:26Carrie Lingenfelter: I can feel the energy transferring between all of these as I feel empowered, feminine, strong.
- 6:36Carrie Lingenfelter: Think about the words.
- 6:37Carrie Lingenfelter: What words come to you?
- 6:40Carrie Lingenfelter: Breathe in, breathe out.
- 6:46Carrie Lingenfelter: Also, we need to picture a green ball of light at the top of our legs, or sacral area, sacral chakra area, going straight down into the earth and connecting us to the earth as well.
- 7:01Carrie Lingenfelter: We can send any nervous energy, feelings, emotions down into the earth, where she can handle them, as we feel ourselves connected to our feminine energy and one with our feminine sides.
- 7:18Carrie Lingenfelter: Do we feel any colors or energy that surround us?
- 7:24Carrie Lingenfelter: Do you see gold?
- 7:25Carrie Lingenfelter: Do you see white?
- 7:27Carrie Lingenfelter: Do you see gold?
- 7:40Carrie Lingenfelter: Do you see white?
- 7:40Carrie Lingenfelter: Do you see any auras, any energy that surrounds you as you're in your feminine selves?
- 7:43Carrie Lingenfelter: Do you have any feelings or ideas or anything that bubbles up from our connection?
- 7:45Carrie Lingenfelter: Let's picture golden light coming down from the sun, filling our body with love and kindness.
- 7:55Carrie Lingenfelter: Every single cell in our body feels connected and whole and complete.
- 8:00Carrie Lingenfelter: Let's take a deep breath as we release and we start to come back into ourselves.
- 8:10Carrie Lingenfelter: Before we leave, we're going to say an affirmation or a prayer Thank you universe, god, source, spirit, whatever you believe.
- 8:22Carrie Lingenfelter: Thank you for guiding me on this path.
- 8:25Carrie Lingenfelter: Thank you for helping me to connect with who I truly am.
- 8:29Carrie Lingenfelter: Thank you for seeing any challenges that I face as a parent in my motherhood journey as opportunities to grow, heal, connect and guide me with my true self.
- 8:43Carrie Lingenfelter: Thank you for helping me to see myself in this true light.
- 8:48Carrie Lingenfelter: And so it is.
- 8:49Carrie Lingenfelter: Bring yourself back into your human, active state.
- 8:56Carrie Lingenfelter: You can open your eyes.
- 9:00Carrie Lingenfelter: While we're doing these feminine pieces, this feminine energy, empowerment, we're feeling what it was like to receive the gift of motherhood.
- 9:12Carrie Lingenfelter: What was it like for you?
- 9:13Carrie Lingenfelter: Was it a big bam?
- 9:15Carrie Lingenfelter: Was it a calm, entering into a higher knowing and a higher presence of who you truly were meant to be.
- 9:23Carrie Lingenfelter: For me, it was kind of like a bam, and that bam came when my kiddo opened his eyes and looked into my soul and I saw into his soul and I was like, whoa, the universe is in your eyes.
- 9:38Carrie Lingenfelter: How can that be in this tiny little being that was just kicking inside my tummy, and he kicked a lot.
- 9:43Carrie Lingenfelter: He was ready to play this.
- 9:46Carrie Lingenfelter: This spirit is what brought me into feeling my own spirit and to truly understanding that it's me here right now in this physical form.
- 9:56Carrie Lingenfelter: But also I'm connected to so much more.
- 10:00Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm connected to my partner, which is the father of the baby.
- 10:03Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm connected to my baby, I'm connected to myself and I'm connected to this whole entire version of who we are.
- 10:11Carrie Lingenfelter: So I love to use these pieces of motherhood that come up, these pieces of our journey, to reflect back on what was the moment that helped me to become a mom.
- 10:25Carrie Lingenfelter: What is it that the universe, spirit, god, is wanting me to learn?
- 10:31Carrie Lingenfelter: In this moment, and as I continue on my spiritual journey, I'm open to receiving these new ideas, these new guided meditations, these new versions of myself that may come.
- 10:47Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm also open to finding other people to connect with along this journey, and so it is Happy day Changemaker parents.
