And this podcast is dedicated to understanding the whys and ways to transform the mundane into the magical, the doable into enjoyable, successful, and purposeful, while, of course, having a great time being the architect of your own life.
Okay, Today's episode is 5 Ways to Nurture Rebirth.
Of course, rebirth's a big concept. Also, it is a state of being, and we do need to start with that. Number one, what is rebirth? Well, I look at creativity as being a procession of different cycles or different phases.
So we've got rebirth actually being a bit of an infinity because it's not only at the end, it's also at the beginning. So it sort of straddles the creation creative process from the end to the beginning.
Now, a lot of people go, well, how do you know? And that is a key question and a very important one to answer. A lot of people strive for a rebirth because they think, gosh, it'd be lovely to do this very differently or just start afresh, or they're actually at a very crucial part in their creative cycle and they want to run away, ironically, from their realizations, their wisdom harvesting and their success simply because ego is very good at masquerading its help. But really, it's self sabotage.
So how do you know when you need a rebirth? Well, basically you could say that you've learned sufficiently from the cycle you're in, and if you put your hand on your heart, you go, can't learn anything else.
So it's time to move on. It can also be when you feel, of course, that up surge of energy that's asking you to start afresh and to align with your feelings in a breakthrough or an initiation that is going to bring your next leap of faith and your new and fresh start.
So it is very much a feeling process.
But if you know you're in the middle of things and you go, oh, no, this is not working. I need a complete rebirth, then I would caution you to think again, take a break, step back. Because for a lot of people, that is a crucial moment where their ego is distracting them, trying to send them on a mind cul de sac, get you in a closed loop, going around and around overthinking things or literally destroying what you have built without having received the benefit or the revelation or the realization.
So rebirth is definitely a defined shift, all right. And it comes, for me, after people have learned considerable amounts. Doesn't matter if you've been doing it the hard way or the easy way, or even effortlessly, you are still very aware that you've been learning and that everything and all the indicators around you, not only in your heart center first and foremost and how you feel, but everyone else around you saying, hey, you don't need to struggle anymore. Or maybe it's to really accept that this is an ending that's going to transform into a fabulous new beginning.
So, number one, how do you know when you're. When you're in a rebirth? Consider what I've said. And also if your ego is trying to ambush you, stick you in the sort of avoidance or sabotaging of what you're building, then again, take a step back. You don't have to agree with your ego. All you do need to do is gain clarity. And sometimes that is very successfully done by a momentary walking away, a stepping back, not destroying what's in front of you and indulging in basically destroying something that will shortly turn into the next step, not necessarily the rebirth.
Okay, so number two. Well, what you can do as well is you can go into your relationship with Mother Earth and you can see if you are aligning with her. Now. What do I mean by that? Well, number one, when you align with Mother Earth, she's really, really helpful when it comes to recycling personal turbulence. So if we're feeling a bit lost or a bit frustrated or a bit disappointed, or our creative cycle or process isn't turning out the way we thought, then walking with nature, being in natural surroundings and embracing that cycle, whether it's spring, summer, winter, monsoon, autumn, whatever it may be, that can really help us realign within ourselves in the cycle that we are in now. It doesn't mean that, you know, if Mother Earth's in winter, you've got to be in winter. But Mother Earth's influence upon our divine and true nature inside ourselves, the divine spark that we've all got that brings us and gives us that radiance of our individual individuality. When we're in that zone, there will be elements of the cycle that Mother Earth's in being reflected to us in our lives.
So the key with Mother Earth is simply to say, mother Earth, can you help me find peace? Can you help me find clarity? Can you help me see the wood for the trees? So Mother Earth, irrespective of what cycle she's in, she can be a very strong influence in your own personal transformation and in your own energetic rebalancing. And all you've got to do is walk with her and put your feet on Earth take, you know, five minutes out of your busy day, realign, rebalance. And you know me, big supporter of heart, mind alignment. So when you're in nature, you get to do that realignment and to feel that now when you're in that space, of course, if you are undergoing that initiation space where things are in essence coming to an end so you can rebirth, or they could even be falling apart so you can rebirth. Mother Earth can be a very good BFF in some tough circumstances or when you're facing that leap of faith or facing your fears in order to move forward.
So remember, Mother Earth is a massive vortex in her own right. She's a conscious being. She's not just a rock hurtling through space.
And she really can help you. And no one needs to know. You can just have a chat with her because you are talking in essence to your true nature and your true identity.
So my number two is go and be with Mother Nature. If you feel like you're about to unleash some big rebirth, then there's no better friend to be with, literally to help you in that process.
Okay, number three, you can also, if you are looking at courageously moving forward and saying, hey, it's okay, I found a lot of ways. As Edison once said, I found 100 ways not to do something doesn't mean I failed. I've just done a hundred ways of learning how to.
So the key with my number three is please identify the fears that you've had about creating the rebirth, about the potential of your rebirth, and look at the resistances.
Please don't go into a self judgment fest and move in with your ego in the office of the mind and start beating yourself up and giving loads of ammunition to the inner critic. Please don't do that. Please be very practical, grounded and supportive and self loving by saying to yourself, okay, this is an opportunity to wisdom harvest, to look at all the aspects of my learning of this cycle. This does not mean I'm going to beat myself up, and this does not mean it's a horrible post mortem of judgment. No, it is simply accepting that your rebirth is underway. And you just need to take with you those wonderful wisdoms that you have learned and pack those all right? And leave the judgments recycle, Leave them magically resolve so they can come back to you in ways that will fuel your rebirth and support you.
Now, a lot of people when they're in rebirth, they can think that everything's, to be honest, technically turning to all right, getting very difficult, or literally it's like a churning or a sense of a standstill. Now that is not uncommon. And what I want you to do if you are in that place is to visualize an infinity.
So the lemniscate, that eight on its side and look at that infinity and just go, hey, do you know where I am? And I'll tell you where you are. You are actually at the center of that.
Now. If you can choose in that moment to go into your heart mind alignment, so be in balance with your heart and mind, then you're in a very, very good place in order to literally center your energy and align correctly with the flow of the infinite.
Now yes, it sounds all very technical, but literally that middle point is that ignition point between rebirth. So the coming to the ending, to the standstill if you will, and then moving into the expansive leap of faith, that's going to nurture the rebirth and nurture the next phase that you're entering into.
So my number three, please don't beat yourself up. Please don't indulge your limited self with all the things you think have gone wrong. And that's why you need a rebirth. Just say, I'm wisdom harvesting. I've learned, I am moving on. And I'm taking all that beautiful wisdom with me. The experience. I'm cherishing it because it's going to come in handy at some point.
Okay, number four.
Well, literally, if anyone who is listening to this has had a baby in the physical, that is of course an incredible, miraculous and beautiful rebirth. Obviously it's got its not very nice bits too, because every rebirth has a degree of unleashing of energy. Now that can be pain, that can be a. A peak of focus, a sense of unleashing of your true potentiality.
So my number four is recognize that rebirth is first and foremost downloading energy.
All right? And it's different for different people.
And we're all unique, we're all fabulous in our own way and all have infinite potentiality. And we all can make a new beginning in a wise and self loving way.
However, it does take practice and it also takes a degree of momentum.
So for some people, they can feel like they're shot out of the gun literally because that momentum translates into everything speeding up in their lives. If you find that your rebirth is going in that direction or in that character, then please be aware to align with that acceleration again, step inside yourself, be in the center of that infinity and then it's a bit like being at the center of a roundabout or being in the center of a tornado. Or being in the center of a spinning vortex all around you. And it's about finding that quiet, peaceful place where you are literally connected rather than getting caught in the maelstrom, getting caught in that huge acceleration all around you. Some people find that their ego tries to compete with the acceleration, tries to go faster to do better, or starts ratcheting up the expectations of what the rebirth will be like.
So it's a fine line between ecstasy, euphoria and also being able to command the joy of rebirth, but also to keep the resistance to a minimum.
So my number four is when energy is flowing, and particularly when it's flowing into a rebirth, it's a big upsurge. It is a breakthrough energy and most of the time it is a higher frequency situation. So you're moving into a greater expression and higher frequency of your creativity activity. So that is going to take some getting used to. And so a little bit like birth, there can be a degree, just after rebirth of a little bit of postnatal depression. I would simply call it as creative come down. You know, you, you're coming down from that huge surge to leap into the new foundation of your life.
So it's important to digest that. It's also important not to load yourself up to the max when you have rebirth.
And with a huge workload, you do need time to balance. You do need time to absorb that new foundation and to let it settle and to funnel your energy into aligning in both a flexible and enjoyable way.
So my number four is, please check your alignment when you're going through that rebirth. And please don't be tempted to go up, down, left, right, and to exhaust yourself. But to say, hey, when it's come to pass, I need to digest this, I need to align with it.
Okay, my last point today, number five, nurture. What does that mean? It means exactly little steps that make the greatest journeys in our lives.
So it is about constant and continuous openness, open heartedness, open mindedness and rebirth. We can have a very supportive sketch and plan about how things are going to unfold. But don't forget the organic, don't forget the infinite, don't forget the lucky, the unknown, the random. All of those aspects describe us being open hearted and open minded.
And when you are, you get into a space where just like when you're pregnant, you're growing a baby, you're allowing that energy to download. So when the birth comes, you're also going to be in a space of patience, all right? And a space to be able to align successfully and to move forward in the uptake of your new foundation and to enjoy it. Because when we rush things, we often create resistance.
So for whomever is listening to this, and if you're going through either having a baby, literally, or feeling that you're having a creative baby, you're rebirthing in your life going in a completely courageous a different direction, then congratulations to you. I salute your courage and I really hope that it's a success for you.
