Engaging with Life as a Portal for Transformation
I've been reflecting on how everything EllieFlow, all of my work and offerings, is born from the viewpoint that simply by engaging with life, and with all that it is bringing to the surface for us (emotions, thoughts, resistance, energies of fear, scarcity, grief, joy, gratitude, and more...), we engage in the process of organic transformation.What I teach and guide here, in client sessions, and my programs, and in the upcoming membership is all about connecting with what is here right now, in trust that it will open the next door on your path as you deepen into presence with it. This may entail opening to feel and process emotions that have been suppressed for years, or learning to sit with discomfort and uncertainty. It may entail engaging with anxiety, your mind and intellect, or returning to your body....there are hundreds of different ways this can look, but the core is the same: as you meet what's present for you now, the next piece of your journey will unfold and your transformation is underway. Let's explore more in the episode!I also share about:How engaging with life as a portal for transformation changes over timeHow this pertains to grief and painExamples from my own lifeApply to work with me 1:1 Join The Sanctuary Membership My Substack Join my newsletter Find me on instagram I would love to hear what arises for you as you listen, and anything specific you'd like to hear on the show.

Release Resistance to Embrace Embodied Acceptance
This episode is POWERFUL! Consider it your masterclass on resistance, and how to shift into current, present energy so you can engage with your life and flow. I discuss what resistance is, where it comes from and what the energy of it is. I also discusses the importance of acknowledging anger when working through resistance, rather than bypassing it, to achieve liberation and deeper self-connection. I guide you through a process of softening towards resistance and embracing embodied acceptance, emphasizing the transformative power of engaging with the present moment and allowing the natural flow of emotions.In this episode I teach on: What the energy of resistance isThe ways resistance shows up in our thoughtsHow resistance keeps us in our heads and disconnected from the presentWhich energetic approaches actually work to dissolve resistance, and which don'tWhat might be underneath the resistance and how to work with itWhy simply 'not thinking about it' doesn't offer us the relief that engaging resistance openly doesWhat 'embodied acceptance' is, and how it's different from mental acceptanceThe energetic shift that is available to us when we learn to work with ourselves in this wayReach out via instagram message or email to share your experience with this episode!

The Energetics of Emergence and Inner Spring (+ a Meditation to Connect with Your Inner Season)
Spring is here on the outside, but how are you feeling on the inside? Does your inner season line up with the outer season? Spring time is a dance of energies that move us forward, but that does happen without the surfacing of the fear, limiting beliefs, and limitations to be worked with and alchemized. In this episode, I explore the dueling, and non-linear energies of Emergence (the 3rd phase in the 5 Spheres of Transformation), offer wisdom, awareness and perspective shifts to support you in this season. We close with a meditation to help you ground into your inner season and receiving the important information that is here for you at this stage of your journey.
