On Various Things

July is the month for expanding your receptivity to allow for deeper connection.
This episode explores the energy of July - a month centred on the feminine energy of receptivity and how to work with it in the form of listening.
After June's work of maturing the masculine, a block has cleared, creating an opening to experience a new level of love and connection - not only romantic love, but the love of community, collaborators, and chosen family, as well as the kind of love experienced via connection to something greater than the self.
The way in is through listening - growing our capacity to listen in its various forms; listening to another, listening with your senses, and listening to something higher.
This is a moment to explore the patterns and traits that can prevent us from truly listening and block our receptivity.

May it expand your capacity to hear and receive all that has been patiently waiting for you to tune in.

With love, Fiona Jane

Attracting the kind of connection you desire requires action, yes, but perhaps not quite the kind the conditioned mind believes is necessary.

For those who are seeking new romantic opportunities; today's episode offers three energetic messages to provide some insight and guidance to take you in the direction of new connection. It also answers three listener questions on the topic - questions which many of you will be able to relate to.

May it offer you confidence in sharing more of yourself, and trust in your path to connection.

With love, Fiona Jane.

June is a month to stop avoiding the part of you that knows exactly what needs to be done.

This episode explores the energy of June - a month centred on masculine energy and what it means to mature our masculine parts of self.
This isn't about gender. It's about the discipline, structure, consistency and responsibility that we each carry in us, and what happens when we under-utilize these abilities.
May placed focus in bringing new levels of visibility and recognition. New opportunities opened. Something shifted.
And now, with that new level of success comes a new level of responsibility. The pressure of which can create a very predictable response: lethargy, overwhelm, and the bodily urge to lie down.
This episode offers a framework and some guidance for moving this resistance across your vocation, your health, and your relationships.

May it offer you a new way of relating to your inner masculine.

With love, Fiona Jane

Today’s episode continues our May exploration of what is required of us to step into greater visibility - and why, despite your efforts, recognition may have felt just out of reach.
This episode explores three listener questions on the topic: how to know when you're ready to share something new with the world, how to manage the overwhelm and hypersensitivity that comes with greater exposure, and how to work with - rather than against - the discomfort of comparison.
May it offer you the clarity and the courage to stop waiting, and start putting yourself on show.
With love,
Fiona Jane. x
