My heart IS the ocean

Discovering distant shores within this body I inhabit

One with all beings in this sea of light

Buoyant plasmic waves bouncing off each other—an infinity of northern lights

Wonder and celebration encountering our unclaimed land—as we flow into the vastness that was always us

(art & poetry Christine Pensa)

All in

Those of us who put their hands up for the experience of life on this earth now are all in.

We’re not here for a kind of superficial or numbed out life that’s been presented.

We’re here both feet in -standing strong.

That strength is activated in the sweet territory of silence—a space of self witnessing where you remember and embody who you are.

Poem from the archives for

Yesterday the cleansing waves washed away the grit around my gills

So I could breathe easier

Purifying the pebbles held beneath the surface

So I could see more clearly what didn’t belong

The crystal waters revealed the solid truth of my origin

So today I could dream awake

In the direction of Love

What belongs in your life

We
Each of us
Have played the game
Whose rules are mostly hidden

Suppressing the live current running through us
To be like the herd

We
Were told
Fit in
Go with this flow

But it’s one that dammed up our hearts’ rivers

Now
Growth will not allow this
Our true nature emerges as effortlessly as leaves answer the call of spring rain

We transmute
the suppression
Transforming it to growth

We
Remember
We activate this current ~
to meet the ocean of ourselves

Drawn by an ever more irresistible flowering

We are leaving behind what was
Stepping back into the vastness of ourselves
Because to do otherwise really does go against the flow of truth in our being

Brilliant
Vast
Infinite
Love

We,
a symphony of wonder and light
whose song reaches the edges of the cosmos

No conductor needed

An invitation
to remember what has been hidden,
to play the unsung notes

Each precious instruction for this perfomance
comes forward in one perfect harmony

No thing in dissonance
No notes unsung
A sound ecstasy

So much love to play this composition
that the heart instrument feels it may burst

Allow it to shatter beloved,
beyond it’s former limits

Let the golden light of this infinite symphony
spiral from your sacred epicentre

Bathing the cosmos,
and raining back down,
Wonder
upon the Earth

Sacred waters

These tears we weep
Are no longer a reflection of our sorrows

They are the sacred waters of our hearts

Flushing every thirsty thing with
Joy, freedom, wonder and pure love

Flowing into the songs of babbling brooks,
Running with rolling rivers,
Dancing on the crests of ocean waves as we make for new shores

to let it set us

Standing together with the Earth
Beloved of who you be,
Pure love

Show me more of this beauty beyond the beauty

I am loves pure presence
On this Earth

Embodied in this being
as truth

Sometimes I have been unable to hear the full symphony of truth singing through my cells

But she has always been there, even as a tiny whisper

She is fed by the light
Her song rising up as a gentle wave through the sacred space of my body

A symphony being played
creating pure harmonies as my being dances in delight

Arms flung wide

Crying out
Show me more of this beauty beyond the beauty I think I know

LANDED

This heart we are is the cosmos
A million pinpoints of light
Following on the wave of each tiny gesture

The true wisdom of the ages revealed
As we see ourselves without patterns
Breaking free from every suppression and shackle

Across every lake, every mountain, and every city

Our pure note rings

Landing softly in the waiting hearts of the ones we have already become

With the Earth

Crown

I recognize the pure note rising from my throat

A little strangled to start,
it rings
through my sinus cavity

Rising in frequency

To greet the crown,
remembering it's song

A joyous reunion with my sisters and then our brothers

We gather once again
in this moment to anchor
our freedom

A rainbow bright blossoming
on this Earth

We are here
We are legion
We are love

Up NOW
EPISODE 158 A Reminder you have YOUR user manual

This mini episode is a reminder to notice when and where you are moving out of the present moment into the past or the future. Being very aware of where you might be numbing out or not taking responsibility for knowing or reading your own user manual.

It’s time to stop picking at the leaves and dive into the roots of you. Finding balance, finding yourself and going back to the basics of you.

Simply a reminder to notice the truth of YOU during these powerful and tender times on the planet.

Sitting with no distractions is a simple, powerful way to get to know your user manual and take back ownership of your own self

SILENCE

I walk through the chaos

Observing from a slow motion perspective
frantic movement,
zzz zzz zzz
electric noise vying for my attention

Now silenced.

My feet continue

Steady

Powerful

Strong.

Embodied knowing that
I am eternal
I am pure love
I choose the path to follow

This is the walk of freedom

After a beautiful summer hiatus the podcast is back.

In this episode I’m revisiting the metaphor of the caterpillar and butterfly, diving into a deeper layer to explore how we humans have lived with the perspective of the caterpillar for enough time. We are in a moment where we know we are being called to shift from that field of limitation, and change into the butterflies we have always been.

You have done a brilliant job at existing and being a caterpillar, but now you can choose to embody the butterfly, to recognize that you are indeed a butterfly and always have been — and beloved you already know it’s time to fly.

As it’s I thought a good moment to contemplate what’s unfolded in the year so far using a poem I wrote on the new year...What seeds have you planted and what packs have you dropped?

~2022~

Pregnant with myself

The ground was not ready before this
I held back

Waited, without understanding, though part of me knew

I would soon be able to plant these seeds on more fertile ground

Not yet in sight
But over the next hill
beyond that horizon line just come into view

My feet take me there

Instincts sharpening, I drop the packs I carry

They fall with a thud
And I don’t look back because I know I will not need these again

Every cell in my body activated, lightening, igniting as I am propelled forward to the birthing ground

Where we became one

(poetry & art Christine Pensa)

Sun show-er

Observers as the Sun shines through the false rain,
a mirror

Reflecting more of ourselves,
beginning to shine through the false self

As the Sun shower’s gathering puddles
deepen to reflect the light

Humanity is gathering, deepening,
to reflect back to each other

Our radiance

The truth of our light

The wonder of knowing
we are both,

Rain and Sun show-ers

Drop

We have arrived at the moment of reunion

Where drop and ocean recognize they are one

Washing away the terrorism of separation with

Waves of purity and

Wonder

The persistence of love

A yellow flower will always break through the pavement

A tiny Sun growing
Because that is it’s nature

Such is the persistence of your purity

It has always been so

A poem for

I Choose Untamed

Feet on the Earth

Connected to my knowing
I now choose untamed,

I reclaim
All the places I gave my power away,

I free myself from
All the places I decided it was easier to give a small piece of my sovereignty away rather than stand in my truth,

I burn away
All the times I agreed to go along with what wasn’t me—because I thought I would be safer—because I didn’t want to make waves,

I cleanse
Anyplace, and everyplace I put that wild knowing part of myself away

I Choose Untamed because that part of me—that part of YOU—is who I Am and I hear her melody

She sings to us through the Earth, the Elements, the Plant Kingdom, and in the Sacred Waters of our blood

NOW is the time to open our ears to the original divine song that we are,

Because to say no is also to say yes to ourselves,

and our true untamed song of light in this world

To Choose Untamed is to come home,
back into embodiment of our Creator state of BE-ing,

Pure Love

So it is,

and so we stand untamed

(art & poetry Christine Pensa)

Cut both ways

All this time

I never realized

The knife I had turned on myself
cut from both ends

And drew blood from you

So used to my own pain

it was only when I saw yours
that I was able to lay down this weapon

Your truth spoken is all it took to

set us free

The Fog is Lifting

So many faces in the stone
Two come forward on a foggy morning

To witness this moment
With gentle, rock solid presence,

We understand your confusion,
And you are also not confused

Your awareness lifts just as the Sun clears the fog

You see the Truth that always was

And the story that is not you

Every moment there is a gift standing solid and still

Emerging out of the confusion to meet you exactly where you are

Holding a mirror to your light so that you will finally see

How your fractal reflects all that ever is

Back to the ever expanding all that is

Gift giver receiver one joyful union of creator expression
Celebrated in song across the universe

The fog is blown away by one of your sovereign breaths beloved

Episode 111 Letting Go and New Beginnings, Returning to self and honouring the natural journey of conclusion

Podcast co-hosts Christine Pensa Art That Moves and Emma Kupu Mitchell - Soul Medicine Artist connect in this episode as their *final collaboration as co-hosts. As Emma put so beautifully, this is not an ending, but a returning back to self and honouring the authenticity of life and it’s natural cycles.

*(Christine will continue to explore the juicy topic of sacred self care and coming back into alignment with our own deep knowing of how to way show for ourselves. It is her intention to mirror back what listeners are looking for in each now moment.)

In this episode we shared, through technical glitches and tears, how this parting is mirrored by nature. How there is grief and also great expansion in leaving something behind and opening up into the new.

Emma will continue to be a part of Christine’s heart and of the listeners, and we trust that as her path unfolds in beautiful new directions, she will be available to share some of that expansion with all of us.

This week on the podcast it’s us, Emma Kupu Mitchell - Your FULL Sensory Soul Guide and Art That Moves interviewing each other about the shifts, transitions, and sacred self care in our own lives and work.

We planted the seed of the Awakened Woman Self Care podcast in late 2017 and it has grown into a beautiful flower with our love and attention. Meeting and being inspired by our divine guests has helped us grow our own sacred self care practices, helped us develop an incredible toolkit, and encouraged us to walk the walk. Sometimes we falter in our sacred self care, but we get back up and keep up our daily spiritual hygiene practices—because it doesn’t matter what kind of tools you have in your toolkit, if you don’t use them when the going gets tough.

There is a lot going on both cosmically, and on the ground these days. The podcast is just one of our offerings to you, another is our TRIPLE GODDESS community, where we share practices and rituals you can add to your toolkit. You can JOIN this community just in time for the Equinox by following this link; http://bit.ly/2Hg3CNn

Our recent guest Gabriela Gutierrez reminded us to be change makers for the Earth. I think that means being open to change in all areas of our life, and walking up to change’s thresholds with an open heart and with the courage to leap.

This week the podcast is all about my divine co-host Emma Kupu Mitchell - Your FULL Sensory Soul Guide and me, Christine Pensa Art That Moves. We are at a threshold with the podcast and the direction we want it to take moving forward. In this week’s episode, we share how much both our work and ourselves have changed. We are at the threshold of change to the podcast, but we’re not quite sure what that will mean. Honouring and promoting our guests, and providing rich content to feed our sacred self care and that of our listeners has always been our intention. The way we do it moving forward may have to shift, because first and foremost, we need to walk the walk of sacred self care by tending to our own sacred self care.

FEED YOUR SACRED SELF CARE INVITATION
I think a perfect way to feed your sacred self care is to take a deeper dive into the work of my soul sister and co-host Emma Kupu Mitchell. Emma is a SOUL ESSENCE ALIGNMENT ARTIST, who brings impeccable care, grace, and over 30 years of experience to the deep work she does with her clients. She inspires me everyday and I am incredibly grateful to be able to spend so much quality time with her under the guise of producing a podcast (; Please visit Emma’s website in the link in our Instagram profile because she shares her work both live in Hawaii, through one on one sessions online, and with her sacredly prepared plant medicine available for purchase on her site.
