I'm Dorsey and welcome to Girl Nature. The name Girl Nature began back in college. My roommate started calling me that almost from day one. It's a reminder that nature has always been my compass. My classroom and my way home each month. I'll meet you here around the time of the Full Moon to explore how the rhythms of the natural world can shape the way we live, create, and connect. Before we dive in, take a moment with me to arrive. Place your hands crossed across your chest, over your heart. Keep your palms anchored into your heart space while gently tapping your fingertips. Unclench your jaw, soften your shoulders and take one. So breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Let this breath mark your intention for today. Something simple like, I'm here, or I'm open. Or I am okay. That's all you need. Let's begin.
SpeakerWelcome in, my beautiful people. As I'm recording this, it's the peak of... well, the peak of the Strawberry Moon has just occurred, and I'm wondering, can you feel it? Did you feel it today? Did you feel the electricity or, the excitement of having a full moon in our midst? It was the Strawberry Full Moon.
SpeakerSo as you've listened to the intro and you've gotten settled into the next 10 minutes or so of this podcast, I'm curious, what emotion are you feeling right now? What's something that you're holding onto? Is it joy? Doesn't always have to be negative, but if it is, also name it. Is it grief? or sadness or The little bit of anxiety around the unknown and where we stand as humans on this earth at this point in time. Let's just name it and allow it. Instead of glancing at your phone, instead of go on to the next task I think there can be some value here in allowing yourself to feel that emotion and then perhaps where do you feel it in your body? Name that body part And then perhaps Does that emotion in that body part have a certain color or movement to it?
SpeakerI highly encourage everyone to look up David Dr. Hawkins and his map of consciousness. And for example, in looking at the word guilt, guilt and grief are on the downward spiral of the map of consciousness. Where the spiral of this map of consciousness actually turns upward, or is the midpoint of this spiral is courage. So as you sit here with that emotion, whatever it might be, all those crunchy feelings that could be coming up, just allow it To be, to sit, and maybe ask, "What is this emotion maybe trying to teach me?" And then something else which I find just fascinating, also by Dr. David Hawkins, and I'm flipping in my book right now to the page, He has a chart reflecting many of the contrasting pairs of qualities that we can have that can initiate a consciousness rising process. Let's just say, for example, we're feeling, Guilty a word that is higher in consciousness, this has been studied by science. It's a really fascinating book, this book, Power Versus Force by Dr. David Hawkins. The higher frequency word of guilty is responsible. So let's just say we had a conversation and things didn't go the way we're feeling, and we might be feeling a little guilty. We're ruminating on the past. It's not feeling good. We're feeling it in our bellies. We're feeling it in our shoulders, wherever this might be We're accepting this emotion, this feeling of guilt, and then perhaps To stop the downward spiral, we're gonna take the courage and say, "You know what? I am responsible for what has happened, and I can take the next responsible step.
SpeakerAnother word in his chart here that I absolutely really love because it gives you the broad spectrum of words here. It's like, "Oh, I'm feeling artsy," you know. "I'm gonna pull out my paints, my colored pencils. I'm feeling artsy." A higher frequency word of artsy is aesthetic. How beautiful is that? I mean, you can feel it from artsy, you know, like artsy-fartsy, to the full-blown aesthetic of something or someone or of a project that we want to undertake. It's like the full feeling of a word and of being for the most highest and best possible goods for ourselves. Here's one, critical. Instead of cri- critical, it's approving. I approve.
SpeakerSo this full moon, the Summer Solstice has occurred. We're at the top of the summer and what an opportunity it is to release what is no longer serving our best and highest goods and perhaps taking the courage to go on the search for higher frequency words that can propel us forward into your best version of yourself, into realizing your wildest dreams.
SpeakerWhich also brings me to the point of talking about visibility and how you're being seen in the world, and how your home is seeing you as a home taker. How you... How me as a mother is being seen as a b- mother by my children, by my peers. This visibility and how you want to be seen in the world in Feng Shui can correspond, so I'm gonna take you on a journey.
SpeakerSo imagine yourself standing at your front door, just coming in from work, and looking at the opposite wall. Your mind can do X-ray vision. It can do all sorts of things right now. Don't worry about it. So you're visualizing the very back center of your home Where is that? What is there? What does it look like? Is it well-maintained or has it been forgotten? Is it well-lit or dark? Is it cluttered with dirty dishes and expired items and junk drawers? Whatever it might be, just notice And realize that this is the area in your home that could enhance your visibility in the most positive way for you If you notice things are unkept, or if you're looking at some objects and they're causing shame or some of those downward spiraled emotions, what can you do to take the next courageous step forward? Is it dusting? Is it doing a deep clean of the area? Is it washing windows? Perhaps you have windows right there. Is it going through some books on a bookshelf and wondering if it's a book that's holding you to a past story that you no longer relate to, that maybe is making you feel that guilt?
SpeakerGoing back to the chart, instead of guilty, we are responsible. We have the choice to be responsible To courageously take that next step, that next leap, that next baby step forward to realizing a better home, a better you, to be seen more in the world as to who you want to be seen as, to experience a glow up, to realize your next best career move.
SpeakerIf you're looking around your home and you're like, "Wow, I'm really doing awesome here, but I'm curious, I'm feeling a little stuck,... What's something I can do that will keep the momentum going, that will propel the momentum forward?" Do you have a plant there? And if so, is it well-watered? Is it well taken care of? If there's not a plant there, perhaps we move a plant that you already have to that area and start to really deeply care for that plant. Look it up on the plant app. What does it need? Does it like to be spritzed with a spray bottle of water? Does it need nutrients? There are really simple hacks too on YouTube or wherever you find your information on how to get plants these most amazing minerals. I saw one soaking banana peels overnight and then feeding that to your plant can be absolutely amazing. It's also talking to your plant. It's like, "You know what? I'm here. I'm gonna dust your leaves off. I'm here. I'm here to take care of you, and we're gonna grow together." It could be putting a crystal or a meaningful object in that area. It could be saying an affirmation in that area every single day, "I am willing to be seen. I am ready to be seen. I am ready to be seen into this next phase of my life." It could also be, getting a haircut that you've always wanted to get, doing your nails in bright red, or it could be writing your to-do list with a red pen. Get that momentum going.
SpeakerIf you're looking around in this area and you're just ready, you feel like you're in transition, you're not sure where you're going, but you know that you don't want to stay where you are, and you're kind of in the middle, I'm curious about what you see when you look at the transitions of your home. So example, your thresholds. Your threshold in from one room into the next room. Is it super clean and well taken care of? Looking at your transitions of, your baseboards. So you're going from your floor to your wall, the corners of your home. What do they look like? I highly encourage, even if they haven't been forgotten, wipe off those baseboards, wipe them, wipe them, wipe them so clean, so sparkly. Go into the corners of your home. You can activate your corners, send that energy back upward if they've been forgotten for a while. You can do this by clapping in the corners. You can burn some incense in the corners. You can ring a bell in the corners, anything to get that energy activated and upwards. It could be adding more light to that area, and then simply going back to observing holding yourself close really taking care of your body. After doing this kind of work, this energy work, this work of producing momentum can be a lot on the nervous system.
SpeakerAnd as we step into the Mercury retrograde, really allowing yourself to steep in your own presence. I have found that we live... I'm so grateful we live in this place where I hear birds all the time, but I try to allow the birds to be a reminder of presence. So when I hear a bird out the window, who knows what I'm working on or what I'm dealing with, but it's like, "Oh, yeah, the birds are singing. I can take a deep breath. I can come back to presence." And be grateful we- we're all here in this moment, and love on each other.
