Time to make it incontrovertibly clear. F#$k the systems protecting the abusers.

There is a toxic ecosystem- the archetype of AUTHORITY- that runs throughout all aspects of society: Church. Government. Justice. Law. Retail. Business. They are all connected. Operating at a 3rd chakra and below energy.

Let them all unravel.

Enough is enough.

After the Parkland shooting I journeyed to my helping allies asking how to work with the gun violence. The allies took me to a huge gelatinous black mass…. dark, deep and thick. They shared it wasn’t about the guns. It was about arms sales- follow the money; the US is the biggest arms dealer in the world.

How do we find our way out of this? To NOT get caught up in the muddle of now. Following what gives us joy. Creating from that space.

As a waymaker…

you are being called. What will you create today?

Third Chakra is the seat of shame.
There’s a sinking feeling when it’s activated because the energy is spiralling inward.
To defend against that helpless feeling,
We may go silent (freeze).
We may make nice aka people please (fawn).
We may lash out (fight).
We may run (flight).

As women we are conditioned to NOT do anything because of the trauma- personal and generational. The way the abusers gain traction is for each of us to remain stuck and feel lost. Screw that!!

All of us carry shadow issues related to shame. To heal it we have to take the energy to the heart chakra, then the throat chakra (we speak truth to power). Sacred Rage.

If I shame people because they aren’t spending enough or living my lifestyle, then that’s a teachable moment.

If I shame people because they decided to curate something in a way that triggers me, then I have a responsibility to own my stuff. That’s a teachable moment.

If I’m leading my community with these new aha’s around money, marketing and manipulation then I want to be able to share my own story with AUTHORITY and shame. Because in telling that healing story I come alive and inspire.

If I don’t understand my own healing journey, then the energy is still stuck in the 3rd chakra, spinning.

• 3rd chakra is the seat of anger.
• 3rd chakra is where your money story is born.
• 3rd chakra is where the manipulation comes from.
• 3rd chakra is masculine in nature and needs the 4th chakra to mediate and heal.

One has to go to the next higher chakra for the solution aka the healing balm. There’s a fine line between teaching and shaming.

Anodea Judith writes:
“Beliefs that negate the safety and individuality ostensibly “for their own good” are called poisonous pedagogy by Alice Miller. Authority is an issue that is present in everyone’s life. We contend with the authority of our parents, caretakers, siblings, baby sitters, and school teachers. [We bring that authority issue into ALL of our coaching/mentor relationships. Conscious or no. How we handle authority has a lot to do with how we develop our inner authority.]

We are in a time where “the authority wound” is up for each of us especially at the Capricorn Full Moon + Pluto in Capricorn retrograde brings up the emotions that need healing.

How we navigate these emotions are very telling. Start journaling using these prompts:

• Who was the central authority figure during your childhood?
• What means did they use to establish authority?
• Did you obey out of respect or fear?
• How do you react today around this authority?
• Did you rebel or obey? What influenced that change?
• What form does the inner authority take in your life now?

Who is it fashioned after?

What choices am I making with my money story? Creating wealth with a conscious heart is about giving back it’s reciprocal in nature. Is your money story tied into the 3rd chakra energy of take, take, take? Or just making enough? Or feast or famine?

Look for the authority that issued this LIE.

If authority and money is fashioned after a coach or mentor, is it working for you?
How have your mentors, past/present, reflected your issues with authority?
What awareness do you have as you take these questions into your day?
How can you bring your own Authority into better alignment with your life? and finally…

What else is possible?

When you first start out in business and don’t have your own body of work, I recommend clients find a book they love and start teaching with it. Scaffolding with a book is a great way to kick start your creative juice that will morph into your soul’s work, a signature system. I didn’t say copy I mean inspire. There’s a difference.

After 5-day soul retrieval training, Sandra Ingerman encouraged us to go out and teach in our communities using her book. I spoke to audiences at Barnes and Nobles, taught a series of classes at the local new age stores and as well as the local university. I built my work, and a clientele base through those experience, through the book.

Before the internet there was a time we sat with our ideas and cooked them. Our visions had time and space to incubate. Today I’m going to ask you to check in and see how this fits for you. Hold your visions as sacred.

• Protect your vision. Its yours. Sharing the vision before its time is like crushing the grapes and immediately expecting a fine wine. Your visions need time to distill and build power. Sit in the energy and with your inspirations. Journal. Paint. Collage. Ground the wisdom. As an Oracle when the creative force is on you understand your body becomes the container for the wisdom to flow into. You control the out of as well. Own that force. You may find yourself posting on Forums, FaceBook and social media to dissipate the creative energy. STOP.

As a woman of power I lovingly allow my ideas and inspirations to ground by holding the space for the vision to incubate.

• Close the door and kick out the Stalkers. She friends your friends on Facebook. It feels weird. She takes your class and then offers a form of it to her community. Weird again. She’s not innovating, she’s copying you and you know it. Pay attention to the weird. People today are hungry. Innovators are out ahead of the pack. Don’t try and fit in. Own your gifts.
  Stalking is a form of fear. With the internet there are no boundaries so as an innovative adult YOU have to respond by setting the boundaries for your creative work. That means roping off your sacred space and protecting your good work. Do you have “friends” on FaceBook that need to be purged?  Do you have people show up in your classes that then go model what you do? Are you okay with it? Feel in your body. Trust your NO. Once upon a time a woman, who was giving a new moon presentation, called me and shared “Can I use your name as a resource at my presentation because I’ve used so much of the material on your website.” If someone is showing up in your classes and copying what you do, then get their IP address; block them from your sites. Close your doors to that person. Honor yourself.

As a woman of power I lovingly let go of those relationships that no longer serve my soul’s work in the world.

• Invest in 1:1 coaching or mentoring. Stop trying to meet all your needs in a large group process. A large group mastermind is like being in a shark tank. Everyone is vying for attention from the coach, and then trying to figure out who they are in business; sometimes at the expense of your vision “hey that sounds good, I’m gonna run with what you just shared.” I still don’t get the all for one, one for all mentality when it comes to innovation. One of my mentors shared “keep you ideas to yourself until they are grown a bit.” Don’t post every inspiration in your mastermind forum. Hold the Vision. Incubate. Pay for 1:1 coaching. Really look at where you are and who you are giving your power too in relationship to money and mindset.

As a woman of power I lovingly set boundaries by investing in mentoring that allows my vision to be witnessed and protected.

Your creativity and $$ earning power are directly connected to setting healthy boundaries. Creating sacred space. What are you aware of today? Please stop by the blog and leave a comment.

People are asking me is Mercury retrograding?

No Jupiter, the archetype of expansion and creativity is about to change signs. Lots of shaking up around speaking up. See you can’t work this energy with old solutions. It’s about collaboration and truth telling. The old ways of doing business are changing. And it isn’t about women fitting into the old business model or leaning in.

We are being called forward. That means coming out of the closet and letting yourself express what you came to teach and share. To not worry about what others say or think because it’s their issue, not yours. Well it is if you are holding back.

As an explorer of the new possibilities what am I willing to stand up for, give voice too and teach?  Where have I DULLED myself down?

How am I living someone’s money story? How is that keeping  me locked in and locked down?

• Getting scared to tell a client your fee and then backing down for a lessor rate.
• Not raising your fees yet investing in training.
• When “what do you do?” leaves you stumbling and mumbling

When women address the fear and own our “upper limits” issue around making money then we will ALL have the breakthroughs we desire. Singularly and collectively. And that will change the world. -Michele Grace Lessirard

I am a stand for YOU clearing and healing your money story. When you do so you’ll life will shift. We are all bound in some way by the past limiting beliefs and sayings of our parents and grandparents. Those images and beliefs were formed for those times. We are in an age of awakening. Our task is to take those lessons, re-frame and/or surrender  them with LOVE so new solutions can manifest.

How am I living someone else’s money story? How is their story keeping  me locked in and locked down in my personal and professional life?

Here’s what others are saying:

After my session with Michele Grace using the Money Breakthrough Method I found doors opening without my even knowing of their existence. Without effort or forethought, fun is arriving from all directions. Invitations, friends dropping in, chance encounters leading to important conversations are happening.

My energy/light, one/all has opened, cleared and grown; this is like a magnet for those who see. Most of all, I am seeing me. One very important piece was establishing a sacred connection to my ancestors. Wow, what a community of revelation, support and understanding. I am a catalyst for healing long standing generational patterns regarding feminine power, creativity and money. Much is still unfolding. For now, I want to share my joy and excitement with you and my gratitude.- Jayme a Money Breakthrough Client

 

I received a HUGE money breakthrough-by doubling my income- after one session with Michele. I urge you to join the Alliance of Shamanic Woman Entrepreneurs and watch yourself move into your wildest dreams this year! Making a commitment by putting my money towards my dreams makes everything in my life move in that direction. – Denise Dee from Soulstrology.com
