A NATURAL ENERGETIC DETOX

September 13, 2020/ Kirsten Reck

Spring is in the air and it is the perfect season for LUURVVEE! 💞💖 Yep love of your home self! 😍🤣🏡 It can be a great time to let go of or declutter anything in your home that doesn't reflect your heart and higher self. What is no longer in vibrational harmony with you? If the word 'clean' or 'declutter' conjures up thoughts of 'boring' or 'I don't have time' or 'what's the point' I get it! 😊

This is what came up last Monday when Jules (the creator of the EHH healing systems) and I did our usual weekly Emotionally Happy Homes® awareness swap. 🌈🌱🥰 There are area's in our home that I have sporadically maintained (yep - I can sometimes put Ethan's toys in the cupboard and shut it quickly before anything falls out💨💫🤔). I understand on a deeper level that these areas reflect a space in my heart where I'm not maintaining or loving myself. 💟💝

If you're on the path of growth, there are always new seeds being planted 🌱🌻 and new growth breaking through the surface. Some old leaves or branches may need to be cut back so there is space for the new. 🎉✨☮🎆

So what it the energetic value in pruning back the trees, branches and old leaves in your own home? 🌱🌻 It is an act of self love - one room or space at a time and it allows you to go deeper into YOU - magnificent, powerful, infinite! 🥰😘🌈💜

You will start to see the result of the internal transformation of your home vibration reflected in the external world. Your relationships may start to feel more peaceful, you may feel lighter within yourself or you may notice an organic shift in your career. 🎇🎆🎉

Suggestions on spaces to love:

Kitchen pantry

Technology - laptop/mobile - cleaning up files 💻⌨

Business - ensuring all paperwork in in order 💸💰📄

Outdoor area - is it well maintained?

Hallway/toy cupboards

Photo albums

Garage 🚗🧹🔨

LIVING BLISSFULLY

August 24, 2020/ Kirsten Reck

Hello! How has your week been? 💟💞

You gotta love those moments where you're scrolling through books on Kindle or posts on Facebook and suddenly something catches your eye. 🤩🧐 A curiosity starts to grow - you feel the synchronistic flow. ✨The universe just knew your next level of growth or offered you a new excitement. Yep, it always pays to be bestie's with universal flow. The gifts are endless! 😊🎈🎉🎁

I felt this way when I was scrolling through meditation teachers on Insight Timer (a free meditation app) last week. I came across Sadhguru, an Indian yogi, mystic and author. 🙏💫🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️ I've seen some of his clips before and felt excited that there were many recordings where he shares his point of view on this app.

In one particular talk, a woman says to him, 'Please give me a simple explanation on how to be blissfully happy - what exactly do I need to do?' 😊😋

His response was (I've paraphrased it): Take time for 'this' piece of life that 'you've' created - not just your partner or family. If you wake up in the morning, is it not a fantastic day? 💖 Smile - you're still alive - smile up at the ceiling when you wake. 🙂 We live with an idea that we are immortal. However, if you are conscious of your mortality, you will do nothing other than what is absolutely needed for you and those around you. 💚💚

It's such a beautiful reminder to be present with the life that you have created: focusing on your heart's excitements, the aliveness of your life, the wonder of nature, the vividness of your imagination or more warm cuddles with loved one's.💟☮☯

I know there are times where I can become lost in managing or the organising of my life in home and family (careers, meals, cleaning the home, schedules, homework or trying to find a Book Week costume for our son! 🤣😂😁).

A few rhythms I love, where I spend time in wonder or relish in the aliveness of my life is when I'm sitting around the fire pit on a Saturday night and gardening. There is always something magical and mystical about gazing up at the galaxy with lights dancing in the darkness. 🌚🌜⭐🌟

Sunday mornings are spent with hands in the garden soil, sun on the skin, the whispering of birds, the bees magically pollinating flowers and enjoying the fruits/vegies from the loving labour. 🌼🌱

I love these pockets of time spent in wonder - these spaces of rejuvenation for the soul. It seems to automatically detach you from your form/physical body into a feeling of oneness with nature and all that is. ✨🌱🌼🌺

💖💟💖

Sending you all so much love,

Kirsten

SKIPPING SCHOOL

August 24, 2020/ Kirsten Reck

Hello! How has your week been? 💟💞

Thank you for your patience if you're a regular reader of my fortnightly emails. I'm back! 🙏 Wow - my body took me into hibernation for the last three or more weeks - deeper into meditation, more time spent listening to inspiring podcasts, more periods of stillness, deeper self reflection/awareness and more time on my own. 🌈🌱🌻

I didn't consciously realise this is what I needed until our son was unwell and emphatically told us that he needed space and to be on his own for some time. Not only did he create the space for himself but for us as well. 💕

I have to admit that being an ex teacher and my husband a teacher - it didn't feel easy to give Ethan the freedom to have more than 2.5 weeks off school! 🤔✨💫

Such a growth experience for us to let go and honour his journey and to break out of social norms. Moreso, I was inspired that he felt confident to ask for what he needed. It was such a great reminder that he is our evolution, the future and our children's voices matter. 💪🥰💪

We all experienced our own retreat inside our home and I have no doubt that we have been able to hear our own inner voices even more clearly as a result. ☯☮🙏🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

I thought I'd share something that my husband created for Ethan and I during this quiet, independent time over the last few weeks. 💞🌱🌺 If the below experience is something you'd love to create use the Emotionally Happy Homes® tool, 'Copy and Paste'. So you're essentially asking your body (your 50 trillion cells) to 'Copy and paste' it into your energetic field as well. 👌😘💖

So Lyell arrived home from school one afternoon, a few weeks ago and said to Ethan and I that he would love to give us a lemon foot bath at night. 💚💙 I think it's important to note here that to reflect this generosity and kindness from my partner, I have self generated it firstly in myself. I've had to embody the warmth, kindness and gentleness towards myself to create a vibration where this experience could find me - easily and effortlessly. ☯💟💕

Lyell lit a candle, put on meditation music, dimmed the lights and filled two basins with warm water. ✨✨💫 He cut lemons, placed them in the water and squeezed the juice out of them. From there, we placed our feet into the water and towels were placed over our legs and basin to retain the warmth. The lemons naturally detox the body.

We were then given a shoulder massage and sat quietly for 10 minutes basking in the nourishment. The next step was the sacred practice of Lyell washing our feet with a washer and then drying them. Ethan loved it and said, 'Dad, this was just so lovely of you'. If you haven't created this yet... know that you absolutely can in your own unique way. 😊💕🌈 Your growth benefits everyone! 🌈🙏💜

💖💟💖

Sending you all so much love,

Kirsten

INTIMACY CONVO'S

July 12, 2020/ Kirsten Reck

Happy Sunday! How has your week been? 💟💞

Being on the path of growth can feel like one big adventure! 🚀🪂🛩 My husband threw me a bit of curve ball last weekend. He returned home after dropping our son off at my parents for the night when he felt to share. He nervously said, 'Honey, I'm not feeling satisfied with how much we make love. I'd love even more intimacy'. 😘😍🥰

My internal dialogue was initially - are you serious? 💨💫✨Wow - I'm happy with the frequency. In the past I would've felt a lot of pressure: how am I going to make this happen when I'm not feeling it? ☮☯🤔

However, the beauty of living on an abundant planet as a vibrational being is that you don't need to make anything happen. 🌻🌱🌼💦 Tweaking and fine tuning your vibration is what attracts everything into your world. You then have the gift of free choice to say yes or no when the magic and syncronicities do open up. 💞💫☮

I said, 'Ok, my love I'm open and willing. 👌🙏 I do have a story about how to create that feeling to want to make love even more because from my point of view, I'm really satisfied with how it is'.

In those spaces, I go beyond the physical world and understand that the universe is always listening to my words. 🌻🌼🌳 So in saying yes, I'm really saying - send me even more pleasure into my life. I'm trusting then that the consciousness of my body is unfolding it for me and that the universe is supporting how it's created. 🌈🌞💜

Conscious communication is such a big part of partnerships and a glimpse into someone else's soul.💓❣ Creating a safe space to share, be open and transparent has always had the effect of creating greater intimacy and closeness for us. It has taken a lot of practice!💜💚

When you voice what you want, desire or need (fifth chakra - throat), it also opens up the sixth chakra - your wisdom. Your imagination may organically show you new ways to create that additional pleasure after giving yourself the freedom to express it. 💌💫🎆🎈 You may also find yourself letting go of what you used to find pleasurable - to create space for even more in your life. 🎊🎉

My husband suggested 'Jaiya', who has a podcast/ website that was recommended by Tony Robbins. If you're looking to steam things up in the bedroom🌡⚡, increase how often you make love or awaken the fire 🔥🔥, you may want to check out her website: www.missjaiya.com

Sending you all so much love,

Kirsten

A NEW DEFINITION - MARRIAGE/PARTNERSHIP

July 12, 2020/ Kirsten Reck

Happy Monday! How has your week been? 💟💞

We decided to take a walk down memory lane these holidays. 🎭🖼Our destination was Hervey Bay where we would spend 4 days. However, en route we chose to drive past our first house in Maryborough, where we used to live 17 years ago. 🏡

As we drove closer, I felt trepidation. I wasn't sure that I wanted to take a glimpse into our old life - it was one I could no longer relate to. ☮💨 I was curious though, what would come to the surface - had I completely healed everything from that life? 🌼✨💞

And there we were - parked in front of our Old Queenslander home, with it's big sweeping veranda. 🏡🌼I remember the excitement we felt on the day we'd been handed the keys. Now it held all our secrets. 👌👏🤸‍♂️🤸‍♀️ I let the memories come. It had been a year of firsts: our first year of marriage, the first house we bought and my first year as a high school teacher. 💑

On the outside everything looked great - making good money, first home, stable job and married, but on the inside of that home, life had been very messy. Marriage at that time had personified hard, struggle, sacrifice, resentment and compromise. 😥🤯😭

Instead of questioning the structure of marriage that seemed to be socially revered, I questioned myself in trying to fit into it: 'There must be something very 'wrong' with me'.🤔🤔 All of our family and societal patterns and programs had come to the surface, but we didn't have the tools at that time to know what to do with it all! 💥💨💥

The over riding emotions I felt as I gazed upon our old home was sadness, as well as a deep compassion for my 23 year old self, who felt she needed to shut down so many parts of herself to fit in. 💖💖However, I felt incredible gratitude for our present life and it was a great reminder that the past never has to define you. You can die to it every day and rebirth something new. 🙏🙏

I attribute my personal transformation to internal growth - a willingness to continue shedding and freeing myself from all the societal and family conditioning. Growth can also be a never ending adventure, as exciting as an overseas trip! 💚🌈💚

It has been fun to create a life free from fulfilling the different roles (mother, parent, wife, career woman etc), and live based on my values and who I am. A life that works for me rather than me working for my life. The 'work' is all internal. 💟✨🎆 I'm so grateful to Jules and her amazing Emotionally Happy Homes® systems which are such an invaluable tool to offer deep insight into who you are. 😊😘😍🌈

Our definition of marriage/partnership now is a very abundant one. 💕💖 The love and joy is in supporting one another with: our internal growth, heart's dreams, living according to our highest values and with becoming the best and happiest version of ourselves. 🌱🌺🌼 I love Abraham Hick's quote where she says, "Make a 'career' of living a happy life". 🎉🌻🌼

💖💟💖

Sending you all so much love,

Kirsten
