Unmanic Monday: Discovering Archetypes - what is calling to you!?

Deep dive into the realms of reflective energy!

I'm delighted to share a little piece of my recent journey - one that has been a fun adventure into understanding archetypes and how they can guide us on our path.

I recently stumbled upon an archetype, and it felt like coming home to a deeper understanding of true parts of myself. It was almost as if I recognized a hidden aspect of my identity. In some ways it was simple, and some ways it resonated at a profound level.

Sometimes it was subtle, sometimes it was loud, and the past several weeks, the wild and free Goddess Artemis has been showing up in small and significant ways.

Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt and the wild, kept showing up in messages, symbols, characteristics, and even giving me signals in dreams. Her energy, representing independence, nature, and fierce determination, felt like a personal guide, cheering me on.

I felt wild synchronicities, freedom in clarity, and affirmation of next steps and characteristics. 

Archetypes can serve as powerful mirrors, helping us discover and understand aspects of our own psyche, personality, and inner world. They can reveal hidden strengths, weaknesses, desires, and fears, providing valuable insight into our truest selves.

When we identify and work with archetypes, we consciously cultivate and develop specific qualities and characteristics associated with them. This self-awareness and intentional growth can lead to personal transformation and an alignment with your higher self.

Ready to connecting with your archetype?! It’s a fun ride!

Discovering your own archetype can be a transformative experience. 

Here are some quick tips to connect with yours:

• Take time to contemplate your personality, values, and what truly resonates with you. What archetypal qualities do you naturally embody?

• Review and pay attention to recurring symbols, figures, or themes in your dreams. These could hold the key to your archetype.

• Notice the patterns and synchronicities in your life. Sometimes, the universe sends clear signals about your archetype.

•  Meditate to connect with your inner self. Visualize and ask for guidance to reveal your archetype.

Once you've identified your archetype, get ready to welcome a powerful ally on your journey, and when you feel ready, follow this process:

1. Welcome your archetype with open arms. Embrace the qualities they represent and let them guide you in making choices that align with your true self.

2. Harness the strength and wisdom of your archetype to set intentions and goals in your life. Let them inspire you to grow and transform.

3. As I am doing here, share your discoveries with others, and be open to learning from their archetypal journeys. Connect with like-minded souls who resonate with your archetype.

4. Incorporate rituals or practices associated with your archetype into your daily life to stay connected and grounded.

Exploring archetypes is a beautiful way to deepen your self-awareness and tap into your inner wisdom. 

As I continue to connect with Artemis, I'm eager to see where this journey takes me. I encourage you to embark on your own archetype quest and unlock the magic within!

As always, I love to hear your thoughts and experiences. What archetypal energies are guiding you on your journey? Let's inspire each other!

If you want on ally on your archetype ally journey, contact me! I have lots of ways to go deeper - join an upcoming retreat (still space for Sedona 7.7-11.11!), a circle, or visit my website for a one on one! 

Unmanic Monday: Discover the Mirror Within

Preview: A Journey to Your True Self

Have you ever felt the power of connecting with your innermost self? The kind of connection that resonates with the deepest levels of your soul and mirrors back to you the exquisite beauty within?

Today, I am inviting you to The Mirror Within

This journey is all about that profound experience – of shedding what no longer serves you and stepping into the radiant light of your highest and best possible self.

Our souls are like mirrors, reflecting our innermost desires, aspirations, and our truest self. In the hustle and bustle of life, we often accumulate layers – layers of doubt, fear, and limiting beliefs which cloud our mirror.

The intention today is to clean up the mirror, so it reflects the real you – your purest essence.

Let’s begin with a few reflection points. If you had a mirror into your soul … imagine ….

It’s tarnished with the energy and beliefs which don't align with your highest possible timeline. Purging those energies that hold you back, and releasing any 'beLIEfs' that have been limiting your growth, will bring clarity.

Within the connection to your mirror, there is a possibility for transformation and growth. As you shed the layers of negativity and self-doubt, you will make space for your most authentic self to shine. It's like unearthing a hidden gem within you, and that gem has the power to manifest your full self in this lifetime.

The path to self-discovery and growth being incredibly rewarding (I didn’t say easy, though the journey will allow you to embrace your true essence, unleash your potential, and live a life that's aligned with your highest and best self.

Are you read for a journey that deserves your patience, love, and commitment?! Let’s go! Grab a pen and paper and follow these steps:

Take a deep breath and begin a meditative self-reflection; take a moment to connect with your inner self. Feel your heart space expand.

Inwardly ask to be shown the supportive, positive influences you recognize in yourself. Write them down.

Come back to your breath, go inward, and ask silently in gratitude, “I am thankful and ready to be shown what is causing density.”

Imagine you have mirror within. Maybe you “see” or notice it outside of you or inward. There are no rules. Ask to be shown any beliefs or energy not in alignment so you may purge what no longer serves you, and let your true self shine.

This is your life's masterpiece, and it's waiting for you to paint it in your own unique and vibrant colors.

See the beauty that resides deep within your soul, and let go of what doesn't belong there. See Divine white light washing over you in a way that brings clarity to your mirror, and you imagine your fullest self in this lifetime.

Feel the difference in those few moments. The world is waiting for your brilliance to shine!

I would love to hear what unfolded for you! Please feel welcome to share!

If you want to dig deeper into soul mirror work, you can consider joining an upcoming retreat, or visit my website for a deep dive!

UnManic Monday: Embrace Transformation

Me presently “resting” in between steps and the journey!

Yesterday we began the 14 Day Fall Reset. There are some super high vibe peeps who are reminding me of the profound impact that intentional self-care and spiritual exploration can have on our lives. 

(By the way, if you haven't already, I encourage you to embark on this path of release and clarity with me through this empowering reset that has arrived. We began yesterday, but you can still join! It's an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you, both physically and spiritually.)

This reset is guiding us toward a state of rejuvenation, clarity, and of course – transformation.

To fully and successfully transform, we need moments of pause. These interludes allow us to reflect, recharge, and recalibrate on our journey to personal growth and self-discovery.

Here is an Unmanic Monday quick tip for you to try! 

Incorporate regular "mindful pauses" this week into your daily routine. Whether it's a brief meditation, a few moments of deep breathing, or a peaceful walk in nature, these intentional breaks provide clarity and invite transformation into your life. Embrace the power of pause as a vital tool on your path to personal evolution. 

It makes all the difference! 

Now while the Fall Reset will continue to work its magic, I'm thrilled to share two incredible opportunities for enriched pause on the horizon. Both promising to deepen your spiritual journey and enhance your overall well-being.

**Sedona Retreat: November 7th - November 11th, 2023**

Prepare to be enchanted by the mystical energies of Sedona. The Spirit-Led retreat from November 7th to November 11th is a sacred opportunity to immerse yourself in the transformative enrichment of all the land has to offer. Together, we will embrace meditation, healing, and the healing landscapes of Sedona. This retreat is your chance to embark on a journey of self-discovery against the backdrop of nature's most awe-inspiring creations. There are two spaces left. Let Sedona's magic guide your path to inner wisdom, and deeper pause!

**Bali Retreat: August 18th - August 25th, 2024**

Looking ahead to August 2023, I am so thrilled to share the soul-stirring advanced adventure to Bali from August 18th to August 25th. Bali's lush beauty and profound spirituality create the perfect setting for inner growth and initiation. This is NOT a beginners retreat; attendance is discretionary based on skill level for the benefit of the collective. The training in our agenda is created for those with a sincere desire to shed their fears and inhibitions, surrender their ego, and be willing to commit fully to their spiritual path.  If you dream of a holistic escape that nurtures your soul, this retreat is your chance to unwind and rediscover your inner essence. Secure your spot now and prepare to embrace the tranquility of Bali.

Both retreats are not only the perfect opportunity for you to take a greater pause, they are thoughtfully designed to provide you with a nurturing space for self-discovery, personal growth, and soulful connections. 

Whether you seek to realign your energies, deepen your spiritual practice, or simply take a break to recharge, there is a retreat offering for you. 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you're ready to secure your spot on one of these life-changing journeys.

Thank you for being part of this beautiful spiritual journey with me – I am grateful for your presence each week.

UnManic Monday: Let’s make it a Move it Monday!

Good Morning!

We are sticking to the theme of scrubbing the slate clean this September. We have covered house, lemony goodness for internal cleaning, and this week - week talk movement!

Exercising to release sweat is an excellent idea when you want to eliminate toxins from your body.

First, drink a lot of water before, during, and after an exercise routine. Avoid drinking caffeinated beverages such as tea, coffee, or soft drinks because caffeine can dehydrate your body, leading to health problems while you are working out.

So where do we want the focus?

Here are some types of exercise that will help you to sweat:

1. Tabata: Tabata is a type of specialized interval training that was designed in the late 1990s. A researcher wanted to create an interval-training program for athletes that would only require 30-minutes while also creating excellent results. This training program requires several minutes of intense activity followed by 10-seconds of rest for a total of eight rounds of exercise.

2. Climbing Stairs: Walking up or down a flight of stairs is a great way to perspire. You can complete this activity in your own home or an apartment building. If you are traveling, then you can perform this exercise in a hotel that has several levels. You can also buy a stair-climber machine that permits you to continue walking on the steps as long as you like.

3. Hot Yoga: Hot yoga is a popular form of exercise that involves performing postures in a room that is heated. For this type of exercise, the yoga studio is kept at a high humidity so that you perspire a lot. As soon as you enter a hot yoga room, you will begin to sweat, releasing dangerous toxins from your body.

4. Spinning: One of the best ways to perspire is by spinning on a stationary bicycle several times a week. You can visit a local gym that has specialized spinning bicycles, or you can buy one to keep in your own home. Experts recommend a 45-minute spinning session to enjoy the most benefits from this type of exercise.

5. Weightlifting: If you want to increase your muscle strength in addition to eliminating toxins, then join a weightlifting class. At a gym in your neighborhood, you can find barbells and free weights to help you sweat. In addition, there are often specialized machines that permit you to lift weights with your legs while you are sitting.

6. Kickboxing: Kickboxing involves punching and kicking with an opponent, but you can also use a heavy punching bag that hangs from the ceiling. This type of physical activity will make you sweat as you fight against an opponent or practice with the punching bag.

7. Running: You can enjoy running in almost any neighborhood, and this form of exercise is easy to perform alone or with others. A long run can help you to perspire to remove the toxins from your tendons or muscles to improve your overall well-being.

8. Hiking: Be like me and hike it out! Hiking is so good for the body and for the soul - we get to connect to nature and look for nature symbolism all while moving. My earthy heart loves this one!

Before beginning any exercise routine, don’t forget to warm up first. One of the best ways to warm up is by using a sauna at an exercise gym or day spa. A sauna treatment can help you to release toxins from your body.

And bonus points for a post-exercise sauna sesh to soothe your sore muscles!

So what do you think? Can you commit to one? I’d love to hear from you!

If you have been creating the space in your home, body, and mind- consider joining me for my October cleanse! It’s absolutely my gift to you; I am inviting you to go deeper with me into a Detox for your body, and regain your balance for seasons to come!

With love,

A zesty start for a citrus Monday!

Hello there!

If you haven’t heard, we are scrubbing September’s slate, getting ready to lean into an October overhaul if you opt for it!

This week's invitation is full of luscious lemony delight!

Lemon has long since been known as one of the best food ingredients for detoxing your body. It really helps to cleanse your system, primarily with your liver, kidneys, and gallbladder, not to mention helping to restart your entire body.

Take a look at some of these delicious lemon-based detox recipes, try one or all, and let me know how it goes!

Detox Salad with Lemon: This salad uses as many different detox foods as you want, then naturally has plenty of lemon flavor. Think of fruits and veggies you believe taste good with lemon, such as carrots, kale or spinach, strawberries, beets, avocado, and bell peppers. You can also add in some nuts for more protein and extra superfood goodness, like walnuts or almonds. Add in some lemon juice, or even make your own dressing with lemon juice, your choice of oil, and garlic.

Lemon Detox Drink: If you don’t want to have something to eat, there are also lots of drink recipes out there. One is a simple lemon detox drink that includes just a few ingredients. You might recognize this type of recipe as something that you do with a “Master Cleanse”, but this is not necessary to benefit from the detox drink. You can also enjoy it as a way to detox your body by replacing other drinks in your regular diet. A good lemon detox drink includes lemon juice, cayenne pepper, cinnamon pepper, and apple cider vinegar. It should be mostly water and also have sweeteners like honey.

Tea with Lemon: You can have just about any time of healthy tea, add some lemon, and turn it into a detox tea. However, in terms of tea, use homemade tea or at least tea bags that contain loose tea leaves in them. A good tea uses the tea leaves, lemon juice, ginger, and turmeric. You are adding in lots of superfoods to add to the health of this detox tea. If you like adding lemon, remember to use raw lemon juice and not the processed, bottled variety.

Lemon Ice Cubes: This one is zesty and delish! All you need to do is make some detox lemon ice cubes, add them to your water, and you’re good to go. You want to use spring water or distilled water, and the juice of organic lemons when making the ice cubes.

What do you think? Are you up for trying one or all?!

Also - a little prequel, coming in October, I am inviting you to go deeper with me into a reset for your body, and regain your balance for seasons to come!

Scrubbing September’s slate - let’s clean it up!

Get ready to scrub September’s slate with me into an October overhaul if you opt for it!

To UnManic your Monday a bit, let's focus this week on how to detox your home for starters.

Detoxing is often related to your body, skin, and even hair (and we are going to get to that), but don’t forget about your home. The environment where you live and sleep should be one that is clean and fresh.

Following are tips for detoxing your home to be healthy and well, can you choose one for the week?!

1. Have indoor houseplants: Plants don’t just add a decorative element, but actually cleanse the air and provide natural oxygen in your home. Many live plants not only cleanse the air of impurities but have soil bacteria that help to rid of formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds that might be in the air. If you run your air conditioner or heater regularly, you might have some traces of dust and other impurities in the air, which plants can help to cleanse in your home. It is good to have at least one house plant in the living room, kitchen, and other common areas.

2. Use natural candles: If you like to use candles in your home, whether for the ambiance, scent, or heat they provide, re-think the types of candles you use. When trying to detox your home, it is best that you avoid anything artificial or heavy chemicals. Unfortunately, many of your regular scented candles have additives that you probably don’t want to be in the air of your home where your family and pets live. Instead, try to use some natural candles, I like beeswax.

3. Use more natural cleaning products: Another thing you want to start changing is what you choose to clean your home with. Naturally, having a clean home is part of detoxing it, but if you are using bleach and a lot of harsh chemicals, you are only adding more toxins into the air. Instead of doing this, start switching to natural and organic cleaning products. You can use apple cider vinegar, plain distilled vinegar, baking soda, and many other natural items to clean most areas of your home. Baking soda is great for pet stains and deodorizing, while lemon and vinegar are perfect for disinfecting. You should also ditch the dryer sheets, as they really are not necessary.

4. Clean the HVAC unit: If you have a central air conditioner and heater in your home, that might be causing a lot of debris and dander in your home. You need to keep the air filter cleaned regularly and have the ducts cleaned by a professional about once a year.

How does this resonate? I’d love to hear!

Warmly,
Alara
