Unit 6: Getting Out of Your Own Way & Deepening Self-Trust

Core Intention:

This unit is a call to liberation—a gentle but powerful reckoning with the inner blocks, narratives, and inherited beliefs that keep us from trusting ourselves and living in alignment with our purpose.

When we learn to get out of our own way, we return to the deep, ancient wisdom within us.

We stop second guessing, and concluding that it is ‘just our imagination’ when we receive messages and communication from the divine, the universe, and our spirit team and allies.

We begin moving more confidently into our power and our purpose, guided by our intuition, shining brightly, authentically, with integrity!

We all come to the threshold of our growth again and again. Fear, self-doubt, and resistance often meet us there. This module is about understanding those energies, compassionately working with them, and reclaiming the strength to move forward with clarity, confidence, and connection, and trusting our intuition and the messages as they come in.

1. Creating Sacred Space Within – Preparing to Connect

Overview:

We have covered this in previous modules, but it is important to remember that before any spiritual practice, healing, or guidance work, we must intentionally shift into a state of presence and openness. This internal preparation is an act of self-respect, spiritual hygiene, and it let’s our helpers and team-mates know our intentions.

Why it matters:

When we are grounded and clear, we become better receivers. Our field is open but protected, our nervous system regulated, and our channel clearer. It sets energetic connections with our team to allow them to come in to assist us, ensuring that those that do come in, do so with love and inegrity for the highest good of all.

Practices:

Ground & Centre yourself through breath, with sound, touch, or by connecting with nature.
Clear your energy, again with breath, sacred smoke, salt, essential oils, aura sprays, sound, or visualisation.
Call in your guides & allies, your higher self, or the Earth to walk with you.
Set an intention for your practice, even if it's simple: "I open to receive with truth and clarity."

Mini Ritual Idea:

Create a short 5 minute energetic preparation you can do before any divination, meditation, or spiritual work. Don’t over complicate it, or be rigid about it, try to cover all the bases and keep it light. Remember that the intention is the most important thing, and the universe speaks in the language of energy and frequency, so how you feel is what is most important. If it helps have a prayer written on a piece of paper to help guide you if that makes you feel the most comfortable.

Journal Prompts:

What helps me feel safe enough to open to guidance?
When do I feel most connected to my spiritual self?
What tools or methods in my toolkit have worked most effectively for me in the past?

2. Building Trust in Your Intuition

Overview:

Intuition is a living, breathing relationship. You don't earn it—you remember and tend it. It grows the more you listen, act, and reflect. Trusting your intuition isn’t about getting every answer right. It’s about cultivating a relationship with your inner knowing that feels respectful, alive, and grounded. It involves listening deeply, recognising the signals, and allowing space for error and reflection without shame. The more we honour our intuitive nudges—no matter how small—the more those channels open up.

Why we struggle:

We've been taught to seek outside validation and logic.
We're afraid of making mistakes or appearing irrational.
Past experiences may have taught us that it’s unsafe to trust ourselves.
We fear the consequences of knowing—because knowing often requires action, change, or boundaries, or because of an ingrained fear of persecution from previous incarnations.

How to rebuild trust:

Practice daily micro-connections: Pause and tune into how your body feels when facing choices—notice sensations, contractions, expansions.
Record intuitive hits: Create an "Intuition Log" where you jot down moments of inner knowing, dreams, hunches, synchronicities, and what unfolded.
Acknowledge when you override it: Reflect on moments you dismissed your intuition and what resulted—not to judge, but to learn.
Invite curiosity: Rather than needing a perfect answer, begin asking, "What might my intuition be telling me right now?"
Use embodiment: Feel your intuitive yes and no in the body. Experiment with pendulum work or muscle testing to deepen this.

Suggested Daily Practice: Each morning, place your hands over your heart or womb and ask, "What does my intuition want me to know today?" Then, write down the first word, image, or feeling that arises. Let that be your gentle compass.

Affirmations to Reinforce Inner Trust:

"My body is wise. I am learning to listen."
"It is safe for me to know."
"I honour the quiet voice within."
"Every time I listen to myself, I deepen my clarity."

Journal Prompts:

How does intuition speak to me personally—through feeling, images, body, dreams?
What gets in the way of me trusting it?
In what moments have I known something before it happened? How did I respond?
What would shift if I honoured my inner knowing daily?
What am I afraid might happen if I fully trust myself?

Exercise: Write a letter to your intuition as if it were a beloved friend. Share how you’ve neglected or dismissed it in the past, and how you now wish to rebuild trust and deepen the bond. Then, write a response from your intuition back to you.

Optional Group Activity: Share with the group a story of when you followed your intuition—and what came of it. Then share a time when you didn’t—and what you learned.

3. Identifying & Rewriting Inner Critic Patterns

Overview:

Throughout all of the years that I have been helping people. and from my own personal journey, I truly think the biggest obstacle that we face is our self talk. However, the inner critic is not your enemy, but a protective mechanism shaped by fear, trauma, and conditioning. Its voice often mimics caregivers, teachers, past partners, or societal norms and expectations, and it can be loudest when you’re on the edge of growth or a breakthrough.

Having awareness that ‘just because we have a thought it doesn’t make it true’ is an absolutely life changing revelation, and when we pause to witness these voices with compassion instead of resistance, we create space for healing. We can learn to explore where these ideas and limiting beliefs came from, release them, and we can then reclaim the energy once used to suppress our truth and redirect it toward expansion and self-love.

Themes to Explore:

The Witch Wound: The inherited fear of persecution, punishment, or exile for being intuitive, spiritual, or different. This often shows up as self-censorship or fear of being seen.
Inner Child Wounding: The parts of us that were told they were wrong, too much, too sensitive, or not enough.
Ancestral Patterns: Beliefs passed down from our lineage that carry shame, guilt, silence, or fear.

Why It Matters: Until you meet your inner critic with compassion and curiosity, it will continue to drive the narrative. By recognising where it originates, you can reclaim your authority. There are meditations out there where you can go back to visit the places in time where these limiting beliefs originated, and some hypnosis techniques (such as RTT - Rapid Transformational Therapy) that focus on it. It is something that can also be explored through journalling, connecting with guides, and divination practices too. By knowing where these beleifs were seeded, they pretty much always lose their power with immediate effect. You are able to pull the weed out roots and all, so these events or beleifs from the past, no longer impact your present.

Here is a Podcast episode I created that may provide some extra insight into the topic of the witch wound that you might find interesting…

Healing Practices:

There are so many healing practices that I could write about here, that could fill a whole book, so I have tried to keep it simple, but this is by no means a fully comprehensive list of all of the modalities and tools that can help with this.

Shadow Work: Name and befriend the parts of you you’ve been taught to hide. This is such an huge area to cover, and there are so many different places you can start, but love and compassion for all versions of you, in all chapters of your life, through every mistake and transitional phase is key.
It has all been part of our journey and evolution. We have pre-destined scenarios in our lives that help soul contracts between ourselves and others to be fulfilled. Sometimes we are meant to be the bad guy, some times the victim. It is all part of our growth and evolution, so let go of blame and shame, and be thankful for every experience that shaped you, that showed you your stregths, gifts, and brought you wisdom. Forgiveness is everything. Let go of hate, anger, bitterness, resentment…. everything happened for you. The other souls involved were just playing a role to help you to experience different facets of the human experience.
Cutting cords connecting you to previous scenarious, and Soul Retrieval (calling parts of your soul back to you that can become detached during traumatic experiences) are very powerful healing areas of Shadow work that can liberate you from being trapped in the past.
Inner Child Dialogue: Sit with the younger version of yourself and ask: What did you need to hear that you didn’t? You can do this in meditation, imagining the younger version of yourself sitting in front of you (or in your arms), or through journalling and letter writing. It is extraordinarily powerful, and emotional. Make sure you have a box of tissues handy! There are some incredible guided meditations that you can find online if you would prefer to do this with guidance.
Ho’oponopono: I’ve spoke to some of you about the incredible power of this practise. It is genuinely one of the most powerful healing and clearing tools I have come across. I use it often, from the small little niggles, to the huge, life shattering changes, and it is life changing. Until you try it, you cannot truly grasp how beneficial it can be, so I truly urge you to give it a try, when anything comes up in your life, or in your awareness that you want to ‘Make right’.
It is so incredibly simple. Repeat these phrases, in any order you like: "I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you." Say it to the parts of yourself you’ve rejected or judged, to your fears, to whatever is clouding your judgement or causing you to second guess yourself…. say it to whatever comes up during meditation, to your monkey mind, to whatever causes you anxiety, and everything else. It is a cleaning tool, that removes everything that isn’t unconditional love. You don’t have to be sitting in meditation to practise this either, which is what also what makes it so accessible. Just repeat it within your mind, wherever and whenever you need to, as often as you can.

Another Powerful Exercise –

Naming the Voices: List five recurring self-critical thoughts. Next to each one, write:

Where you think it came from (whose voice or belief is it?).
A loving reframe or truth you now choose to believe.
Asking your higher self and spirit guides to help you.

Example:

"I never get things right."
Origin: My school teacher who was overly critical.
Reframe: "I learn through experience, and every step is part of my growth."

Journal Prompts:

Whose expectations or judgments am I still carrying?
What is my inner critic trying to protect me from?
What would my higher self say to these fears?
How would my life shift if I stopped believing this story?

Affirmations for Rewriting the Narrative:

"I honour all versions of myself."
"I release inherited fear and reclaim my truth."
"I am safe to be seen, to speak, and to shine."
"I forgive the parts of me that tried to keep me small."

Creative Ritual: Burning Bowl Ceremony – Write out the old stories, doubts, and beliefs that no longer serve you. Read them aloud and safely burn the paper in a fireproof bowl or outside, declaring: "I release this story now. I choose truth, freedom, and self-trust." This is particularly potent when done on a Full Moon.

Optional Group Share: Share an old belief you are releasing and affirm the truth you are stepping into.

4. Reconnection Tools – Journaling, Writing, Divination

Overview:

Once we begin clearing the inner noise, our inner voice becomes easier to hear. To sustain this, we need regular tools to help us reconnect. Journaling, divination, and intentional writing allow us to witness ourselves with clarity and call in deeper insight.

Why it matters: These tools offer mirrors. When we write without judgement or pull a card with reverence, we tap into the deeper layers of our being. They become sacred doorways into truth and guidance.

Practices:

Freewriting: Set a timer for 10 minutes. Don’t stop writing, even if you write “I don’t know what to say…” Allow what’s beneath the surface to rise.
Card Pulling: Draw a tarot or oracle card each morning. Ask: “What do I need to know today?” Let it guide your actions or reflections.
Prompted Journaling: Use journal prompts regularly to go deeper (see below).
Letter Writing: Write letters to your spirit guides, your inner child, your future self.

Journal Prompts:

What’s alive in me right now?
What truth am I resisting?
What guidance is trying to reach me today?
What does my soul need from me right now?

Creative Ritual: Create a Reconnection Altar. Include your favourite journal, cards, a pen that feels magical to write with, candles, stones, and any other intuitive tools. Sit with it at least once a week to reconnect.

5. Creating Anchors – Reminders, Routines & Rituals

Overview:

Change happens through consistency, not intensity. Small, meaningful routines can reinforce new beliefs and cultivate trust.

When we are cultivating self-trust and a new way of being, we need gentle reinforcement — not pressure. This is where ritual and repetition become sacred tools. Supportive routines act like anchors for the soul; they remind us of our truth when we forget and help us return to our centre when life pulls us away.

Without daily soul nourishment, the noise of the world can easily drown out our inner voice. But with intention, we can build small but potent rituals that shift us out of self-doubt and re-root us in sovereignty.

This isn’t about becoming robotic or rigid — it’s about weaving moments of reconnection into the fabric of your everyday life.

Why This Matters Spiritually:
Your energy field — and your nervous system — respond to rhythm. When your daily life holds cues of sacredness, your soul begins to feel safer to speak, express, and guide. These supportive routines don’t just help you stay on track — they affirm that your spiritual wellbeing matters and is worth showing up for, every day.

Supportive Practices

Sacred Affirmation Notes: Place handwritten affirmations on your bathroom mirror, inside kitchen cupboards, on your journal, or even as your phone background. Let them act as daily blessings. For years I had post-it notes with positive affirmations dotted around absolutely everywhere, even on the dashboard of my car, to act as reminders and prompts throughout the day, and it was so beneficial to anchor things in! A friend of mine once went around every mirror in her house, writing “ I AM ENOUGH” in red lipstick on every single one and the glow-up she experienced during this time was absolutely incredible to see!
Spiritual Alarm Clocks: Set a gentle alarm titled with a sacred reminder — such as “You are supported,” “Check in with your heart,” or “Pause. Breathe. Align.” at certain times throughout the day. I promise this is really helpful too!
Ritual Mornings / Evenings: We covered this is great detail during previous modules, but here are some little reminders.
- Morning Ideas: Grounding breathwork, pulling a card, offering gratitude to your guides, or placing your hand on your heart while setting an intention.
- Evening Ideas: Journaling what you learned that day, clearing energy, giving thanks, lighting a candle or saying a prayer before bed.
Weekly Sacred Space: Choose one evening or morning each week to go deeper — perhaps a longer meditation, a walk in nature, or a creative expression ritual (art, singing, movement).
Body as Anchor: Choose a simple physical gesture (placing hand on heart, touching a crystal necklace, applying oil) as a quick anchor to come back to yourself throughout the day.

Ritual Exercise: Build a Reminder Altar

Create a mini space in your home that reminds you who you really are — a place that brings you home to your essence.

Include:

A candle to represent your soul light
Objects or symbols that inspire self-trust (e.g. feathers, stones, a photo of your younger self, artwork that represents your higher self)
An affirmation card or handwritten intention
A scent (essential oil, incense) to activate your memory of the sacred

Ritual Practice:
Spend 3–5 minutes at this space each day — even just to take a breath, light a candle, or say a prayer. Let this be a loving check-in with yourself.

6. Self-Discovery & Permission to Be You

Expanded Overview:
You are not here to be like everyone else. You are a one-of-a-kind soul expression, and the more you understand your own divine design, the more compassion you can offer yourself. This section is about self-remembering — using the sacred systems of astrology, numerology, and Human Design as maps back to your truth.

So many of our struggles arise from trying to force ourselves into moulds that were never made for us — inherited beliefs, cultural expectations, roles we learned to play for safety. But these ancient wisdom systems remind us that you came with instructions — and learning to read your blueprint helps you stop resisting your nature and begin to honour it.

Self-discovery isn’t self-indulgent — it’s self-liberating.

Sacred Subtopics

Astrology:

Your Sun sign is how you outwardly express, but there is so much more to your chart that is so empowering to explore…
Your Moon sign reveals your emotional world, inner child, and what soothes your nervous system.
Your Rising sign speaks to how others perceive you and how you move through the world.
Your Mercury reveals how you think, process, and express — key to understanding communication and clarity.
Explore also your North Node (soul growth direction), Chiron (core wound/healer), and Saturn (soul lessons and mastery).
(I have mentioned this in some of our previous conversations no doubt, but I highly recommend checking out The Pattern, it is a free Astrology app that can help you dive deep into your birthchart and is a fantastic starting point.)

✨ Numerology:

Your Life Path Number shows your soul’s main theme for this lifetime — a powerful energetic overview of what you're here to learn and embody.
Your Expression/Destiny Number reflects the gifts and personality you bring to the world.
Personal year numbers can help track your soul cycles and current focus.
I cannot express enough how valuable it is to know and have some awareness of your numerology and how it effects your life, because it absolutely does impact EVERY aspect of our lives. It is something that comes into my awareness pretty much daily, and I work with it to assist and guide others all the time, and use it to my advantage wherever possible! I even used Numerology when choosing the names of my children! There are countless websites and apps that you can find out there, have a little look around and see what resonates with you.

✨ Human Design:

Your Energy Type (e.g., Generator, Projector, Manifestor, Reflector) explains your natural way of exchanging energy with the world.
Authority teaches how you make aligned decisions.
Strategy gives you guidance on how to best engage with life (e.g., wait to respond, wait for invitation, initiate, etc.).
Learning about your profile, centres, and gates deepens the journey.

Practices for Embodied Understanding

Create a Self-Love Soul Map: Look up your chart, design, and numbers. Choose 3–5 gifts or affirming qualities from each system and write them on a single page or collage. Let this become a self-celebration.
Shadow Integration: For each insight about your “challenges,” ask: How might this be helping me grow? View these not as flaws but as areas of evolutionary work.
Practice Non-Comparison: Next time you catch yourself comparing your path to someone else’s, gently remind yourself: I am built differently. I am walking my own sacred path.
Allow Space for Your Design: Where are you currently forcing yourself to operate in ways that go against your nature? Can you begin to shift that, even slightly?

Journal Prompts for Deep Inner Dialogue

What aspects of myself have I long misunderstood or judged — and how do I now see them differently?
Where have I been trying to be someone I’m not in order to be accepted or successful?
What gifts or qualities feel sacred and true in me?
What would it feel like to live as if my natural design was enough?
What kind of environments, relationships, and rhythms bring out the best in me?

Affirmations

“I am made on purpose, for a purpose.”
“I honour my unique soul design — it is not flawed, it is divine.”
“Understanding myself helps me move through life with more ease, grace, and clarity.”
“My gifts are sacred. My challenges are teachers. I give myself full permission to be me.”

Soul Exercise: Self-Discovery Reflection

Choose one system (astrology, numerology, or Human Design) to begin with.

Research your core elements (Moon sign, Life Path number, Energy Type — depending on system).
Write down three traits, patterns, or insights that stand out.
Reflect: What does this reveal about my soul’s nature? How can I support myself more kindly going forward?

Optional Creative Add-On:
Make a “Permission Slip” to yourself — decorate a piece of paper with a heartfelt declaration like:

“I give myself full permission to stop trying to be who I think I should be, and instead honour who I truly am.”

Place it on your altar or mirror.

7. Aligning with Purpose – Letting Go of Perfection

Expanded Overview:
Perfection is a heavy illusion that so many spiritual women carry — often unconsciously. The idea that you must "get it all right" before you can step fully into your purpose is one of the greatest barriers to walking it.

But your soul did not come here to be flawless. It came to grow, to feel deeply, to remember who you truly are, and to contribute your unique medicine to this world — not despite your struggles, but often because of them.

When you release the need to be perfect, you create space for authenticity, trust, and divine alignment. Purpose unfolds not in one grand epiphany, but in the small, brave acts of showing up — even when you’re uncertain or afraid.

Core Themes

Soul Contracts & Sacred Challenges
Your biggest life initiations are not punishments — they’re often part of your soul's curriculum, as mentioned in the shadow work section above. Before birth, you may have chosen certain themes or wounds to explore in this lifetime as vehicles for growth and wisdom.

Redirection through Breakdown & Loss
Every time you were broken open, something inauthentic was being dismantled. Losses, endings, and breakdowns often initiate the soul into a deeper truth — rerouting you from false paths toward alignment. Our wounds are where the light gets in, and in my experience breakdowns always lead to breakthroughs.

Wisdom Inside Your Mistakes
The moments you feel most ashamed of often hold the greatest treasure. When seen through the lens of compassion, every misstep becomes a teacher — guiding you toward humility, growth, and purpose.

Soul Practices

Soul CV Exercise
Create a timeline or list of your key life experiences — both painful and profound. For each one, ask:

What did I learn?
What did this unlock in me?
How did it shape the woman I am today?

This becomes your “Soul CV” — a testament to your resilience, evolution, and readiness to serve others from lived experience.

Morning Affirmation Ritual
Begin your day by placing your hands over your heart and whispering:

“I trust my path. I am here on purpose. I allow myself to be guided. I do not need to be perfect — only present.”
Repeat this while breathing deeply for 2–3 minutes.

Reflective Meditation: “Show Me My Next Step”
Sit quietly and drop into your heart space. Call in your Higher Self, Guides, or Soul. Ask:

“Where am I being led?”
“What would you have me know today?”
Write down any sensations, images, or phrases that arise. The response may be subtle — trust it.

Journal Prompts for Soul Realignment

What experience in my life has shaped me the most deeply?
What patterns or breakdowns have repeated — and what wisdom might they carry?
Where am I still holding shame around something I now realise helped shape me?
What have I been calling a “failure” that may have been a powerful redirection?
What message would my Higher Self give me about where I’m headed?
What soul gifts have been forged in my darkest moments?
What am I finally ready to own as part of my purpose — not an obstacle to it?

Affirmations for Letting Go of Perfection

“My soul’s journey is sacred, even when it’s messy.”
“I release the illusion of perfection. I choose presence, alignment, and truth.”
“My pain has shaped my power.”
“Every twist in my path has led me closer to who I really am.”
“I do not need to be perfect to be purposeful.”

Optional Group Sharing Exercise:

Share a moment you once judged as a mistake
What it taught you
How it changed or redirected your life

This not only brings healing through storytelling, but allows you to be witnessed in your truth, creating a container of collective liberation from shame and perfectionism.

8. Deepening Your Earth Connection & Spiritual Belonging

Overview:
To walk a truly embodied spiritual path, we must remember that we are not separate from the Earth — we are of her. Every tree, stone, stream, and gust of wind holds ancient memory. You are part of that memory. You belong to the land, and the land belongs to you.

This sacred connection to the Earth is not only healing, it is activating. It roots your soul’s mission in something ancient and enduring. It brings you out of the head and back into the body. Into presence. Into listening.

Your spiritual path is not just “upward” — toward the heavens — it is also downward, rooted in soil, cycles, and the breath of Gaia. In deepening your Earth connection, you remember your place in the great spiritual ecosystem — one in which Ancestors, Guides, Nature Spirits, and the Earth herself walk alongside you.

Core Themes:

Living in Rhythm with Nature’s Cycles
From the lunar phases to the turning of the seasons, nature offers us a blueprint for ebb and flow. When you live in sync with these rhythms, you move from resistance to receptivity, from burnout to balance.

Honouring Ancestors and Spirit Allies
Your lineage walks with you. Whether biological, spiritual, or soul-chosen, your Ancestors and Guides form a council around you. The Earth is a living altar that can help you reconnect with their wisdom.

The Rainbow Warrior Prophecy
You may be one of the souls prophesied by Indigenous teachings — those who would return at a time of great forgetting to restore harmony, protect the Earth, and remember the Sacred Ways.

Dolores Cannon & the Waves of Volunteers
Many souls incarnated during this time to assist Earth through her awakening. If you’ve ever felt “different,” or like you’ve come with a purpose you couldn’t quite explain, this may speak to your inner knowing.

Soul Practices

Create Nature Altars & Offerings
Design a nature mandala or altar outdoors using found objects: flowers, leaves, stones, feathers. Whisper your gratitude or prayers into the Earth as you create it. Leave an offering: water, herbs, a song, or simply your presence.

Walk Barefoot & Speak (or Sing) to the Land
Take time each week to walk barefoot on the Earth. Feel her heartbeat beneath your feet. Speak to her aloud — thank her, ask her questions, or simply breathe together in silence.

Tree or River Meditation
Find a tree, river, or natural body of water and sit beside it. Place your hand on it. Tune into its presence and ask:

“What do you wish to show me?”
Allow images, sensations, or messages to arise without judgement. This is communion.

Journal Prompts for Reconnection

How do I feel in my body when I am surrounded by nature?
When was the last time I felt truly connected to the Earth? What was different about me in that moment?
What does it mean to live as a sacred steward in today’s world?
What do I intuitively feel the Earth is asking of me?
If I trusted that I was part of a larger spiritual ecology, how would I walk differently in the world?
What might my ancestors or spirit allies want me to know about my place here?

Affirmations for Spiritual Belonging

“I am of the Earth, and I belong here.”
“I walk in harmony with the land, the spirits, and the seasons.”
“I am guided by the wisdom of nature and the strength of my ancestors.”
“My presence here is sacred. I was born for these times.”

Optional Companion Exercise: Earth Letters

Take a journal outside and write a letter to the Earth. Then write a letter from the Earth to you. Let her voice flow through your pen. This practice deepens both intuitive listening and spiritual intimacy with Gaia.

Guided Meditation to ‘Open up’ and connect with Nature Spirits & Mother Gaia:

9. Self-Care as a Gateway to Miracles

Overview:
Self-care is often dismissed as indulgent or superficial—but in truth, radical self-care is a spiritual path in itself. It is how we whisper to our nervous systems: You are safe now. It is how we tell the soul: You are worthy of care. And it is how we prepare the inner soil so that grace, synchronicity, healing, and expansion can take root.

When you slow down and honour your body, emotions, and energetic needs, you open the doorway to inner miracles. You make space for healing to land. You say to the Universe, I am ready to receive. This kind of care isn’t just about routine—it is an act of reverence.

Core Themes

Louise Hay’s Self-Love Affirmations

Affirming your worth through words creates energetic shifts. Louise Hay was a pioneer in the mind-body-spirit connection, teaching that the words we speak to ourselves have direct energetic and emotional consequences. Her affirmations were not simply “positive thinking”—they were deep, alchemical declarations of self-love, reprogramming the subconscious and creating new energetic pathways in the body.

Why it matters:
Many women carry internalised shame, criticism, or beliefs that they are not enough. By repeating gentle, affirming statements, we soften the inner critic and invite new possibilities into our energy field. This is one of the simplest—and most radical—acts of energetic self-care.

Examples:

“I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”
“I choose to release fear and welcome love.”
“I am safe, supported, and free to be me.”

Spiritual Impact:
Affirmations rewire the energetic grid. They invite grace. Over time, they become mantras that activate the heart space and call in higher vibrational support.

Kinesiology as Inner Compass

What it is:
Kinesiology is a technique rooted in muscle testing that allows you to tap into your body’s biofeedback system. The belief is that the body holds truth and wisdom—even when the conscious mind is unsure. You can use simple methods (like the sway test or finger ring test) to ask the body yes/no questions about food, rest, emotions, choices, and needs.

Why it matters:
Too often, we override our body’s signals out of habit, conditioning, or fear. Kinesiology teaches you to pause and ask. It invites you into a two-way conversation with your own intelligence system.

Examples of Use:

“Is this food supportive for me today?”
“Does my body want rest or movement right now?”
“Am I holding unspoken emotion in my heart space?”

Spiritual Impact:
It restores trust in the body. When you stop outsourcing wisdom and begin trusting your physical temple, miracles unfold in the form of healing, integration, and sovereignty.

Marma Therapy & Energy Recalibration

What it is:
Marma points are vital energy intersections throughout the body, used in Ayurveda to release blockages and promote healing. There are 107 major marma points, each one a doorway into deeper energetic harmony. They link the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

Why it matters:
When we experience stress, trauma, or overwhelm, energy gets trapped or stagnates in certain parts of the body. By gently touching or massaging these points, we stimulate pranic flow (life force), which supports healing on subtle levels.

Examples of Marma Points to Work With:

Ajna (Third Eye): For clarity and intuition
Hridaya (Heart Centre): For emotional release and love
Talahridaya (Centre of palms/soles): For grounding and releasing
Adhipati (Top of the head): For spiritual connection and peace

Spiritual Impact:
Marma therapy is not just physical—it’s devotional. It’s a way to offer presence and prayer to your own body, to honour its intelligence, and to become more attuned to your soul’s energy flow.

These three themes create a trinity of care:
Affirmations reprogram the mind and heart,
Kinesiology reconnects you to the body’s voice, and
Marma Therapy clears and aligns your energetic field.

Together, they restore you to a state of resonance, receptivity, and radiance—where healing, insight, and synchronicity become natural outcomes of your self-care devotion.

Suggested Practices

Sacred Bathing & Oiling Rituals
Create a ritual bath with herbs, oils, salts, and intention. As you immerse, speak words of love to your body. Anoint yourself after with warm oil—moving slowly, with full presence, thanking each part of you.

Daily Muscle Testing
Ask:

“Body, do you need rest today?”
“Would this food/item serve my highest wellbeing?”
Use a sway test, finger-ring method, or pendulum. Let the body guide you gently back to truth.

Blessing Your Nourishment
Before eating or drinking, take a moment to speak a loving word over it:

“May this food become light in my body.”
“Thank you, water, for clearing and blessing me.”

Marma Activation
In the morning or before rest, gently press and hold marma points (like the third eye, heart centre, or soles of the feet). Imagine golden light radiating from these points, reconnecting you with inner harmony.

What is my body longing for that I haven’t been listening to?
How would it feel to honour myself like a temple today?
Where in my life do I need to soften, slow down, or say no?
What miracle might unfold if I offered myself daily devotion, not just occasional care?
What part of me feels unloved or overlooked—and what does it need?

Closing Reflection

You were never too much. You were never too late. You were never broken.
You are a miracle in motion—made of star stuff and ancient remembering.
When you honour your body, your heart, your being… you send ripples of permission into the world. You become the portal. You become the prayer.

Let your self-care be sacred. Let it be enough.
Because you are enough. Right now. As you are.

Trusting yourself isn’t a destination. It’s a devotion. A returning. A homecoming.
May this practice anchor you back into your sacred body, open heart, and the soul-deep wisdom that has always been yours.
