I’ve been sitting on our Fall Activation results as I always do. I like to allow the women to process the experience, as so much of the lessons learned and progress happens after they return home. I measure them and take before/after pics so that they have a litmus to see how much change occurs in less than a week’s time but the experience is not about weight loss.
This past activation was my 19th and was quite possibly my absolute favorite (I also really needed it). So many people ask me how I achieve incredible results in just four-five days. There’s a magic food x fitness formula for sure, but one thing that fuels it all is re-connecting them with their body-centered feminine energy and intuition.
As I feature some of the women that went to Jamaica and also prep to release the dates for our 20th, I wanted to share a few Activation tips on how you can get out of your head, and into your body by reconnecting with your feminine energy.
Girl Time
Spending intentional time with other women fuels your heart recharges your feminine energy in the biggest way. Something amazing happens when you are exclusively with those of your gender. It’s easier to drop the masks and be yourself, as you are.
More Movement
Feminine energy is moving energy. The ocean is a perfect metaphor for feminine energy as it’s constantly in motion, always changing and shifting. If you have been stuck at a desk or have felt physically stagnant for a while, you need to get your body moving in non-linear (like CCS) ways.
Feminine energy will always be activated by movement. Unless you have a really fluid yoga practice (meaning, a practice that frees you of the traditional linear-based poses), or an SLB practice, or a really intuitive dance practice, it’s probably likely that you’re not incorporating much non-linear movement in your everyday life.
No Schedule
One of the toughest things for my Type A ladies is when they arrive and learn that I don’t have a schedule for them. Teaching them to just be idle has one of the biggest impacts on their results. It’s difficult to be aimless, right? Obviously some amount of structure is needed, of course, but there is probably more room for freedom in your schedule than you imagine.
What things can you *not* do at the same time every day? What things can you say “no” to? Sometimes, busyness is avoidance.
Connect to Nature
Nature is life itself; it’s us, where we naturally belong. Developing a sense of connection with the sand, the beach, the trees, with plants, birds dogs…all of these will connect you more to the pulse of the earth.
A really beautiful way to begin doing this at home is to just spend time gardening (@gardenuity I’m looking at you), and hang with your plants the same way you would hang out with a friend. Just sit with your plants and really look at them, even if for only a few minutes. See if you can feel them or if you can communicate with them.
