Dear Friend,
It’s important that you feel as though your self is constantly in steady forward movement Dear Friend, I’m in preparation, supporting my Best Self in forward movement. I leave tomorrow to attend a Bhava Spandana Program with Sadhguru. The Bhava Spandana Program is an advanced meditation program designed by Sadhguru to provide the opportunity to go beyond the limitations of body and mind and experience higher levels of consciousness. The word Bhava literally means “sensation.” Spandana can be loosely translated as “resonance.” Through powerful processes and meditations, the Bhava Spandana Program creates an intensely energetic situation, where individuality and the limitations of the five sense organs can be transcended, creating an experience of oneness and resonance with the rest of existence. It offers an exuberant experience of unbounded love and joy. Ahhhh my cup of tea! I’m excited, nervous and not at all sure what to expect. I have done 3 other programs with him, so I do trust that my decision to participate in this program will do much to forward move and align me with my Best Self! Check out more on Sadhguru here: https://isha.sadhguru.org/us/en I though you might enjoy listening to someone else speak to the – Best Self evolution.

Sovereignty: my ability to consciously choose to attract and reflect; Individuality, Health, Wealth, Happiness, Pleasure, Freedom, Love. … more
For me, sovereignty is about knowing who I am and what I truly am as an individual; knowing my unique role, contribution, and responsibility to my divine mission and humanity, and masterfully using my body and mind as vehicles to deliver those gifts. Sovereignty is truly me being a responsible creative force and conduit between spirit and matter for the extension of the good, the holy and beautiful. It’s my choice to teach love and offer a pathway for others to know themselves as Love. “Sovereignty is profound yet illusive concept; it is natural state of being inherent to the feminine.” Alison McLean When I was child, I didn’t know how to recognize my own power; my right to steer the direction of my life. My life was in chaos and I learned how to survive. At the age of 17, I left foster care. I was afraid to take control of my life completely. Often, I handed my power over to another, seeking safety and security. I didn’t do this consciously; it was a subtle and hidden dynamic. My family’s dysfunction developed in me codependency. In the shadow of dependency, I often felt like I had to go along to get along; to be safe and secure. I didn’t fully know my own value and worth, so I unconsciously was seeking someone else to assign it for me, especially the unconscious masculine energy, whether within a woman or a man. In doing this, I served to meet their needs and wants as a way of getting my own needs met. I had relinquished my personal power within relationships, in my career, in life, in general. Eventually my suffering turned into a call from the Source within me to grow, expand and reclaim my Sovereign- Self; to fully awaken my Feminine energy seeking greater inspiration and meaning. This increased my receptivity to intuitive guidance so my more rational side (masculine energy) could then externally act upon it. Because I lacked confidence in the external world, I first needed to awaken courage to act upon my convictions before I could empower my inner masculine to act. When I answered the call of Source to grow, and expand, I reawakened my connection to the Divine and honored myself accordingly by creating harmony and balance of the sacred feminine & masculine through the embracing of alchemical teachings and practices, which foster my upward spiral of wholeness and reconnection to my Sovereign Self. This dynamic occurred both internally & externally in my relationships. When I made this commitment to embark on a path of spiritual growth; seeing every experience as a lesson, I made the transition from the child who blames others and feels sorry for herself while unwittingly hurting others- into a conscious woman. I learned to examine my thoughts and actions, so they become wise and humble through self-reflection and the seeking of a higher truth. When I learned to focus on the Divine (an eternal source of love) and to see myself as reflection of the Divine by delighting in my archetypal Gods & Goddesses, I became filled and inspired with love. This fuels me to create situations that reflect Love. Then it is possible for me to live Heaven on Earth in every aspect of my life, as I am the embodiment of love, so I attract a reflection of it in every moment.

Dear Friend, Dysfunctional aspects of patriarchy that we have experienced in more private, personal moments are now being openly exposed on the national stage. People are feeling triggered, venting and processing. Woman and men around the world are getting in touch with feelings they may have locked down years ago, feeling that they didn’t have a safe place to speak in the past are now – surfacing to be addressed, publicly and privately around the world. By the age of 15 I understood what it felt like to be repeatedly and violently violated mentally, emotionally and physically, to not feel safe enough to speak about my experiences and to be abandoned by my family, religion and the justice system. And then how that “not feeling safe or secure” drove my empty relationship cycles of rejection, victim/villain, blame/shame, right/wrong, good and bad – and when I looked out into the world what I saw reflected was much of the same. Behind my brave face I was hiding accelerated swings of successes and failure, I felt defeated, confused, depressed, and full of anxiety and terror all the time. My story is like many other women in the world. By the age of 21 I had left organized religion, had no faith in our justice system and political platforms and began my deep dive into the – spiritual roots of my human experience. In doing this I learned I needed to grow, to take personal responsibility for my perspective of what had and was happening within me and around me in the world. I decided my life was a call to rise, expand and transform my story and personal legacy and in doing so extend the good, the holy and the beautiful to the world, in turn transforming our collective legacy. This became my passion, purpose and intention: to know myself as Sovereign Goddess of my own Universe, Source Reliant, Interdependent and Free! And to be the walking permission (needed now more than ever) for each woman to do the work necessary to set her soul free from the weight and baggage of her personal identity, her story, her cherished beliefs and opinions; to unchain herself from all that keeps her bound to limitations within her ego mind and within the society she finds herself contained and to be a Sovereign Goddess of her world, uplifting and Inspiring a New World collective!

Anxiety use to be a constant state for me. It felt like I had an energy knot that I just couldn’t untie no matter how hard I tried. Until I made conscious the truth that my anxiety was a symptom of not being present in my body, in the present moment I always felt a deep unease that I could sometimes escape with moving into my head (mind) and looking outside myself to either blame and control life or fix myself. I was literally trying to exit- my body to escape what it was trying to tell me in the present moment. Quite unexpectedly through consciously connecting to my breathing I realized to initiate physical presence is one of the great benefits of having a physical body, for it only exists in the present moment! By consciously entering it, I simultaneously would bring my awareness into the present moment. Not only is the physical body anchored in the present moment, it contains a precise energy signature of whatever past experiences we have yet not integrated. These records are available as physical “symptoms,” physical manifestations of moments in time that are unintegrated. The discomfort caused by these unintegrated moments was the underlying momentum for my anxiety- and a habitual way of being. Consciously connecting to my breathing reconnected my awareness to the circuitry of the life current that only flows within the present moment and has the power to transform, integrate and restore the integrity of body, mind and spirit. It is this simple and powerful! Consciously connected breathing is one of the most efficient and accessible means for my deliberate re-entry into the physical body and unraveling my knot of anxiety with the cleansing breath of life. This is true for all of us! For every second we consciously connect our breathing, we are deliberately anchoring our awareness in the body, and therefore in the present moment. As simple as this state of being – not doing is, and as normal as it appears, it has profound consequences and makes excellent use of the minds capacity to serve spirit. Want to learn more about – consciously connecting to your breath and unraveling your knot of anxiety? Connect with me today! Love, Cheryl Join me in Summer Savings and get unstuck!
Dear Friend, When we are too deeply engaged in the drama and chaos of life, we tend to see our world from a distorted perspective.

Dear Friend, I have learned, through personal experience and my passion for understanding the spiritual roots of physical life, that humans have within them the potential for inner evolution, only through which are they be able to find the happiness and fulfillment they have been seeking externally with little hope. Consciously or unconsciously, most of us live in constant dissatisfaction. Pleasures are short-lived; people and things imperfect. Our body, which needs to be nourished and protected, is subject to illness, ageing and death. We are constantly lost in a mental world filled with immediate preoccupations with which to deal, while life passes by until the day death raises its head to face us, without our understanding the meaning of our time spent on this Earth, nor what awaits us after the breakdown of our physical bodies. However, despite what seems like a fragile existence, human beings have within them the potentialities to unravel the mystery of creationand find the ultimate satisfaction they have been seeking in vain. Very often, I am asked, so how do I go about accessing and developing my Inner Self? Sometimes it emerges out of a need to develop oneself holistically, or a need to balance the inner resources across different areas. Or, sometimes, our various life roles provide an impetus to development of one’s inner presence and dimensions. By whichever means, there is a certain joy when we experience and access our Best Self potentials. It's not just the 'doing' but also the quality of our 'being' that influences our excellence, flow and fulfillment of our Best Self. In my late twenty’s I began my yogic journey and learned the value of a 40-day Sadhana practice to initiate powerful changes from within; while at the same time having powerful external changes. Sadhana is simply a daily spiritual practice, designed to allow oneself to turn inward and perceive life from a broader perspective. Back then, I used yogic practices, meditation and journaling to shift attitudes and become more intuitive, prosperous and all together more conscious. Sadhana encouraged my discipline which led to my commitment to daily spiritual practice. “Sadhana is a Sanskrit word whose root “sadh” means to reclaim that which is divine within us, our power to heal, serve, rejoice and uplift the spirit.” Maya Tiwari One of the fundamental premises of my coaching model and work is that everyone is naturally Intuitive, Resourceful, Creative and Whole and has the capacity to develop these inner energy resources. We just access them differently at different points in time. It is good to keep all our inner resources developed to their fullest potential. This will enable us to call upon their strengths when the situation demands. “In a way, all sadhana is aimed at heightening your energy, your awareness, and your presence.” Sadhguru The enjoyment of Sadhana (spiritual practice) has been known across the ages as one of the most potent and effective tools for personal mastery and evolution. Sadhana is dedicated practice, done over a period, until one masters what one is practicing, and the mastery naturally flows into all aspects of one’s life. And still one often continues the practice for a life-time, as just doing the practice masterfully gives great joy. In my personal practice and with clients, I am referring to the Sadhana of Inner Practices and the state of Being. These practices fortify our inner presence and unique natural core strengths. Sustained practices, done over a period, bring out the full radiance of our Inner Presence. Sadhana is whatever you do consistently to clear your own consciousness, so you can relate to your Inner Presence. No matter what area of life my clients are looking to change, our work starts with developing a regular spiritual practice to begin taking control of their life energies. It’s a personal, individual, spiritual effort. When they develop a deep sadhana they begin to open the doors of experience in all areas. I work with my clients to identify what practices best assist them with tuning up their nervous system and attuning themselves to their highest inner self. To cover all the bases, these practices include looking at nutrition, exercise, meditation, prayer, journaling and more. When you commit to meet your higher Self each morning, your decisions and your life become original, your life will bear the signature of your soul and your radiance will express the meaningful intimacy of the Divine in each moment. Immerse yourself in the joy of success that comes from starting each day with a powerful sadhana and every challenge will become an opportunity. Do you need some help with starting a powerful sadhana practice? I would love to support you! Click below to checkout this month’s special: 40-Day Sadhana Practice Love, Cheryl Dear Friend,
Light and shadow are constant companions, coloring our inner landscape. They are part of who we are and what we don’t want to be. They are often the struggle between what we recognize and what we avoid, what we let into our lives, what we ignore and what we don’t want to see. The balance between what we know and what we don’t want to know often feels difficult to realize. When we consciously walk the path of our best self, we come to accept the truth of the matter: we are made up light and shadows . "Both light and shadow are the dance of Love” Rumi There will always be an aspect of us that we don’t want to accept. Here lies our greatest opportunity for Self-Evolution; empowered living. Accepting the darker side of our lives may involve discomfort, but at the same time it can mean growth, change, self-acceptance, healing and empowerment. Not everything is light, nor does the light always light up our lives. Light sometimes blind us, when shadows may give us the answers we need. “Its not possible to awaken the conscious without pain. People are capable of doing anything, however absurd it may seem, to avoid facing their own soul. Nobody is enlightened by fantasizing about figures of light, but rather by becoming conscious of their dark side.” Carl Jung Our shadows contain all the negative aspects of our personality that our ego is not always ready to accept, including frustrations, shameful or painful experiences, and fears or insecurities that were stored in our subconscious. These block us from living in a genuine way, and leave us unable to express our true feelings, live an empowered life and be fully expressed. Maliciousness, selfishness, envy, cowardice, jealousy, greed and many other dark emotions and fears stalk our lives and lead us into conflict with other people, while creating tension and discomfort in our bodies, minds and overall wellbeing. If left unattended to, they can develop into feelings of guilt or even bouts of depression and disease. In these states we are not always aware of the image we transmit to others and can project these shadows onto others, because we can’t accept that these feelings, thoughts or ideas belong to us. Like me, many of us were conditioned in childhood to hide any negative, weak or vulnerable parts of ourselves. The result of not clearly seeing and accepting our shadows is we can become blinded by our own light. The light energy that we are made up of - the resonance that surrounds and shines out from our inner being - are all those qualities, virtues, emotions, behaviors and desires that we like to show others. It becomes easy to wear them like a mask all the time, as if they were our real identity. We choose how we project ourselves to others in our work, community lives and social media, etc. It appears we live a second life, in which the shadows not only hide, but also seem to not even exist. What at first feels like a good thing and a way of protecting ourselves from the despairs of our lives becomes thesource for habitual drama, anxiety, negative experiences, confusion, and often despair. That’s why it’s important to know our shadows, they can help to keep an inner balance. We are fallible, we feel dark emotions AND yet we can grow and empower ourselves. We are not perfect; self-evolution teaches us the only perfect thing about being human is that we are perfectly imperfect. “ All the beauty of life is made up of shadow and light” Leo Tolstoy Are you keeping your shadow and light in balance? Are you wearing a mask of light? Are you habitually creating drama? Are dark emotions and fears stalking your life? Are you in conflict with other people? Are you creating tension and discomfort in your, mind and overall wellbeing?

I have literally created this experience. The picture above is the sky view from my swimming goggles today. The water was warm and not refreshing, 91’ and 105 outside but my swim was great and the sky was beautiful! I do the crawl and the breast stroke to complete my mile swim. It feels great to have my freedom of movement. I’m living a life that’s supports me! I literally created this experience. I’m the creator of how my life unfolds, it’s not always been that I created a life that supported me. I’ve created the opposite of a life that supported me and it started as early as my Mother’s womb. I didn’t even know what support meant in my most chaotic, deepest sadness or depressed moments. I was distracted, surviving. Caught in the victim- villain, guilt swings; seeking to be saved from the life of rejection that imprisoned me within my own mind. Eventual life conditions caused me to question and get curious about what was happening to me and why. Gradually, my questioning and curiosity led me in an on-going deep dive into self-inquiry, personal responsibility, the medicine of the natural world, universal wisdom, energy alchemy and teaching myself the power of Love. I embraced my opportunity to grow through several stages of spiritual development. Now, after many experiences, much recapitulation and purification, my life supports me: my mind, my body, my choices, thoughts and actions. People, places and situations always, in all ways, support my deepening into Love and Union with the Divine. I have learned to surrender my inner conditions, receive the blessings of my Higher Self and be made whole in the energy of Love within my own mind. My life is an act of consecration to the Sacred Source of All Life. It can be no other way for me now! I have literally created this experience. This way of being is my pleasure, passion, purpose and offering to Humanity. It’s my joy to be a Wayshower and Messenger to anyone looking to walk the journey of aligning with their Best Self and returning to… Love. Are you ready to embrace your opportunity to grow through several stages of spiritual development and learn how to be the creator of your Best Life? I would love to be your guide, shoot me an email cherylbourget@gmail.com or call today 978-378-0506 to schedule your complimentary chemistry call! Love, Cheryl Ps ... Check out what Michelle has to say about Sourcing her own answers on the path to her Best Self. Praise There is only one consciousness with infinitely many unique manifestations. Each is an expression of love from that which gave birth to them, whether you call that God/ Goddess, the Father/ Mother, Oneness, the Divine, Allah, Spirit, Source, the Formless, the Tao, the Great Spirit, the Nameless, or the Unmanifest. There are many names for what is behind all life and which cannot be understood by the mind or expressed in words. You can turn within to the inner presence within all living beings and from this place you can deepen connection through noticing your breath and its connection to the breath of life in all living beings, in this place resides the Love that gave birth to many.

It should come as no surprise that many cultures throughout time have had lunar deities–that is, gods or goddesses associated with the power and energy of the moon.
I love to ebb and flow with cycle of the moon within me, accessing my Fullest Feminine expressions, medicine, mysteries and wisdom. I find the Full Moon phase is best used for dissipating unhelpful influences in my life. I think of it as 'shining a light' on issues or challenges. It can also be a good time for creating affirming magic and performing divination. I often use this time for releasing old patterns or issues, and open the door for healing by giving energy to positive patterns I’ll put in place. This can also be a time for me to receive and give thanks for the harvest received from the seeds I planted in the light of the New Moon six months earlier.🙏🏻 Full Moon magic can be conjured during the 3 days prior to the rise of the Full Moon, the night of the Full Moon and during the 3 days after.
