The Womb & Heart Connection

Published on by Transformation PeriodLeave a comment

Good Day Honey’s!

​I am sincerely sending you peace, love and acceptance today. I’ve noticed that acceptance tends to be an underdog in terms of desires. When I reflect on my own healing journey, I realize how pivotal acceptance has been in experiencing true joy…

True acceptance kills unreasonable expectation and thereby eliminates disappointment.

This is one of the many revelations I received when I began to give special care and attention to my womb space through Vaginal Steaming. Initially, I was steaming for postpartum recovery, I didn’t realize that there was a very strong and powerful Womb & Heart connection was. While I was trying to “get back right” and “tighten up” after my youngest daughter was born, I had no idea that my heart was also beginning it’s own healing journey.

I began to cry a lot more.. and I mean A LOT MORE. Crying felt like such an amazing release. It was cleansing and healing. It felt like I was being gently urged to be more vulnerable and let go of the protective personality traits that had been built up over years.

I didn’t realize how guarded I was.

Steaming felt so good (not just physically) that I began doing it at every opportunity I got. I shared it with all my family and friends, really anyone who would listen.

Seemingly unrelated I began being drawn to other self care practices that focused on my heart’s well being. I began to meditate, I began to focus on the things I had to be grateful for. I began to accept the things (and people) that I could not change.

This was life changing.

I want to encourage you today that if you haven’t tried steaming, please give yourself the opportunity. If you have, don’t stop. Just like any profound change, it happens gradually. The rate at which you transform is really dependent on what your current beliefs and perspective are.

I have been helping people through steaming awareness and personal life coaching to rapidly move towards their own personal transformation and I have to say, it’s some of the most rewarding work we’ve every done.

Everything Is A Figment Of Your Imagination

Published on by Transformation PeriodLeave a comment

Greetings Family!

Did you know that we live by imagination? Plans are imagination. They don’t become reality until we experience them. I can plan to wake up and workout and drink a healthy smoothie but until I actually DO IT, it’s my imagination.

So as it turns out, we are always imagining things. Let me say that a different way… every single thought in your head is your imagination. Whether it’s a plan or a “random” thought. A daydream or a memory. Imagination. All of it!

Why not imagine things that we want to happen instead of things that we don’t?

I am definitely simplifying a strategy that is WILDLY successful in the creation of the experiences we desire, but I want you to conceptualize that you can in fact imagine your optimal health, imagine your ideal relationships, imagine your ideal physique and so on and so forth.

I teach a lot of these techniques and strategies in my life coaching sessions and also have lots of free content around it on my YouTube Channel.

I’ve also created a great book list that has a lot of good resources to explore these concepts more that can be found here: https://yesgodwellness.com/pages/recommended-reading

7 Tips For a Great Sunday

Published on by Transformation PeriodLeave a comment

Hola Honey!

I’m back on the mainland and ready to get home to do my Sunday routine to prep for the week. I love using this day to really get clear about how I want my week to go, what I’d like to complete.

Do you have a Sunday routine?

I have decided to list a few of my non-negotiables for Sunday and perhaps you may be inspired by them (or nah, and that’s cool too lol).

  1. LAUNDRY – I know this may be a tough one, it used to be painstaking for me.. I had no issues with washing and drying but putting away was my nemesis. Now, I simply fold things as SOON as they come out of the dryer. I noticed that my mood and overall energetic vibration is a lot higher when I don’t have piles of clothes around my home and all my things are neatly put away and available when I need them. Don’t forget to wash your bedding!
  2. REFRIGERATOR – Admittedly I am a recovering OCD neat freak (my children would say I never recovered) but I cannot stand to have clutter in my fridge. That leftover dish from Tuesday? Yep! Time to let it go. I like to go through my fridge on Sundays and get rid of any old produce that wasn’t used, empty out the tupperware and throw out any expired food. It just FEELS better and it creates more space for more yummy and nourishing foods to replace the old.
  3. JOURNALING – Setting 1-3 primary goals for the upcoming week is a great way to actually accomplish them. They may not be things that can be done in one sitting, and thats ok! If you’re anything like me, START WITH ONE! I often sit down to make a “little list” of things to do and wind up with 3 pages that overwhelm me and then cause me to procrastinate. A full brain dump is helpful sometimes, but for this Sunday let’s focus on 1 (3 maximum).
  4. TAKE A BATH and/or STEAM – Sunday is really a day for resting, although the things I’ve listed up until this point may feel like “work”, it’s important to keep in mind that they are adding to your PEACE of mind and can also be considered meditative. I like to tidy up with some really great music that makes me feel good blasting from my bluetooth speakers. Baths are my GO TO for relaxation. There’s something about being submerged in hot water and herbs that allows stress to melt away.
  5. CLOTHES – I have two young children who don’t love waking up in the morning. Anything I can do to lighten the load for them and me in the morning is well worth it. I lay their outfits out for Monday morning as well as my own.
  6. FOOD – Having meals planned for at least Monday and Tuesday is a good way to cut down on stress and also to save money by not swinging by for crap on the way home.
  7. PRAYER – I love praying everyday but Sunday is a day that I can really take my time to get into contemplating all the people and circumstances and dynamics I want to send love to.

Welp! I hope this was helpful.

Peace Is Right Here, Right Now

Published on by Transformation PeriodLeave a comment

know that sometimes peace can feel like a distant fantasy with mounting task lists and scattered obligations between career, family, school, business etc.

As parents, friends, daughters, sons, lovers and professionals we wear many hats and like most human beings, we want to be “successful” at our many relationships, endeavors and pursuits.

What I’ve learned is that success is an inside job. Success is being at peace, regardless of life’s circumstances. It’s being content and grateful with your CURRENT physique, your current income, your current position, status and family dynamic.

I used to be caught up in the exterior appearance of things. I put a lot of stock in the way (I thought) I was perceived by others. I realized that my own judgment of myself was what I assumed others were thinking of me. The truth is that no one really cares that much about you and what you are or aren’t doing. Using other people’s feelings, reactions or responses to the ways in which we choose to live our lives is actually an excuse and excuses are based in fear.

I chose to BELIEVE that a different experience was possible. It didn’t happen overnight, but I slowly began to be intentional about living in MY OWN authentic truth. I realized that when I did that, it inspired others. The very people I thought I would hurt, I was actually helping. The fear of offending became a love of empowering.

Steaming was one of those things that seemed weird to others.. yet I knew that it was going to heal me. I didn’t realize that it went beyond the physical when I discovered and began incorporating it into my self care routine.

I know better now.

Steaming allowed me to connect deeply with my own heart. I realized that my womb and my heart are in fact connected, intricately.

We have created the “I Love My Womb” Bundle which is designed to provide plant based products which care for your womb and your heart. This Gift Box includes access to the Time Is On Our Side course which assists in getting clear about our visions, desires and goals and how to move towards accomplishing them in the least amount of time possible.

Sending much love, peace and bliss to you.

Enjoying My Manifestations

Self-Examination

Published on by Transformation PeriodLeave a comment

Greetings Beautiful Beings,

Have you ever had the feeling that you weren’t living up to your highest potential?

Recently I’ve really felt a push to examine myself. Yes, I always prefer to examine myself but I mean REALLY examine myself and the roots of how and why I hold myself back in certain areas of my life. Back at the end of 2018 I did a massive cleaning out of my physical space, got rid of lots of things and was able to re-purpose other things that I had forgotten that I owned!

It’s like something happened internally once I really got a handle of my external environment. An internal desire began to grow in regards  to doing a massive clean out of my heart and mind. I wanted to take inventory of all the things that needed to be “gotten rid of” and also things that could be re-purposed for a better quality of life and inner peace.

I realized that I had several addictions that needed to be addressed. Among the list are/were: procrastination, social media, distractions and probably the most ingrained and long-standing addiction…..FOOD (sugar, carbs, comfort foods)

I have done social media “fasts” in the past where I determined to “only spend a certain amount of time” on social media per day (which proved VERY difficult), so I knew that it was something that needed more a intentional and strategic approach. It’s kind of a love/hate relationship since I use it to promote and advertise my business, but in reality I was spending way more time just mindlessly scrolling than actually engaging in bringing value to my potential clients.

The next thing I’ve been examining is my relationship with food. I notice that I typically eat for taste and to “enjoy” the experience of pleasure. I definitely enjoy lots of “healthy” foods but I also really enjoy a lot of unhealthy foods as well. I began by starting to intermittently fast between the hours of 1-7PM and then I pushed my comfort zone to one meal a day. Then, I felt a push to do a fast from food for spiritual reasons. Once I began to look into and research the amazing benefits of prolonged fasting I was blown away!

Fasting has been used for centuries to heal many imbalances in the physical body along with making space spiritually for God to perform miracles. The bible is full of stories that illustrate this. (Esther 4-5, Esther 9, Jonah 3, Matthew 4, Matthew 6, Ezra 8, Nehemiah 1, 1 Kings 19, Exodus 34, Acts 9, Act 13, Acts 14, Isaiah 58, Mark 9 & Daniel 1 just to name a few, lol)

I did a 7 day water fast from 3/22/19 – 3/29/19. My primary motivation for fasting initially was to experience miracles in some personal family situations, along with increase in business and other areas, but the whopping 14 pounds I released definitely was an awesome silver lining. Let me be clear this fast was NOT about losing weight, but more about healing and preventing disease. Enabling my body to take a rest from digesting new food and provide the opportunity to go back through and process out all the toxins (and nutrients) being stored in fat cells. There are tons of resources but one of my favorites is the The Essene Science of Fasting.

What I realized during my fast and after I began to eat again is how much my emotional state affected my food choices. I asked the question a few days ago on Instagram what folks food addictions were. Many people chimed in and I want all of us to really take a moment to think about what we are sacrificing due to our ingrained habit of emotion suppression through food. For me, it’s clarity of mind, my ideal body and a sense of accomplishment. When I eat “good food” that is typically rich and/or sweet, I feel tired afterwards, and it begins a downward spiral. Of course this is just my own personal experience but I wanted to share it with you in  hopes that you can gain some insight, inspiration and/or motivation.

Valentine’s Day Blues

Published on by Transformation PeriodLeave a comment

Greetings beautiful beings!

Valentine’s Day is approaching and I know that this can be a very sensitive and triggering time. I have spoken to many clients who have expressed pain, resentment and an overall sentiment of “failure” around relationships (romantic and otherwise). I have spent some time pondering this and wanted to share some of my own thought and perspectives around pain, grief and loss. (I have and still do experience my fair share).

I wanted to share some ways in which I have been able to process and manage my own feelings around pain, grief, loss and disappointment. I have been broadcasting live on my IG page for the past two days at 11:11am EST and will do so tomorrow (Monday)  as well as a part of my “Clean Heart, Period” series (which I am going to re-do as we’ve been experiencing some technical difficulties…I’ll keep you posted on when) I shared that one of the best ways that I have been able to work through and release pain is to face it. Actually allowing myself the time and space to revisit my painful experiences (notice revisit, NOT relive) with the intention and position of of being the observer. Yes, sometimes it feels difficult and I don’t want to “be bothered” with drudging up old pain, however I have learned that what isn’t revealed can’t really be healed and ironically, we continue to relive and create similar dynamics until we are willing to blow the lid off and look at those things square and direct. One practical way that I revisit and release is through letter writing. Please refer to my last post about it here.

Another way that I dismantle pain’s hold on me, is to consistently and frequently keep myself in a state of gratitude. I mean little things…like “thank you God for allowing me to arrive safely to all my errands today, I appreciate that I have a roof over my head, I am so grateful I can breathe unassisted”. While these things may sound trivial, it is really important to observe and acknowledge all the ways in which our lives are truly blessed, because trust and believe that one glitch in the matrix can change these things and we don’t want to “need” catastrophe to happen to appreciate being able to pick up a phone and read an email.

I want to take a moment to affirm you. You are enough, you have enough and you are loved enough. I have been looking myself in the eye each morning (in my bathroom mirror) and telling myself that. ” I am enough, I have enough and I am loved enough”.  I hope this message has reached and helped someone. I intend to send a few more love notes throughout this week and share some more tools that have and are working for me.

I hope we all have a fantastic week and remember, when we fill our own love cup, we have enough to share and if/when any external situation happens, we have enough of our own supply to be independent of needing anyone else to “love” or “validate” us. What’s even more amazing is that when we truly, deeply love ourselves we magnetize others who do the same.

 

With so much love,

Megan

 

Write It Away – The Purge Part 2

Published on by Transformation PeriodLeave a comment

Greetings Everyone!

Happy 2019! I am very happy and excited to report that I was able to really crank it in gear and get the physical organization of my home completed for the New Year! My home has a completely different energy that is palpable upon entering. I have been successful in reclaiming my living space while also honoring my business and creating an effective management system of everything from storage, manufacturing, packaging and order fulfillment.

My kitchen pantry and cupboards are clean, clear and orderly. My counters are clear and I even made use of the goldmine of a Breville juicer as it is no longer overshadowed by appliances and pots that I was only holding onto for “sentimental value”. My living room is spacious and light, my bedroom is peaceful, my office is productive and even the children’s room has managed to retain some semblance of order.

My whole life is benefitting from this new energy along with my intended daily routines and regimens. I have been a lot more consistent with my morning routines, 1st quarter projects and fitness routines. I’ve also made time for myself to steam and release any remnants of energetic things that are no longer serving me.

As I was hitting the treadmill at Orange Theory Fitness,  the thought of someone who is no longer in my current life’s experience  popped into my mind and I immediately noticed myself projecting some extremely critical and judgmental thoughts. I was mindful of how it made me feel, and how it was an overall lower vibration. It was like I got an immediate insight that I had still not entirely released that particular dynamic and needed to do so (as soon as possible).  I decided in that moment that I would make it a priority to write this person a letter.

Letter writing is a tool that I have been using for about two years now and the results have been astounding. I learned through my own personal development quest that when you write letters, not only do you create a time and space to flesh out your own feelings/perspectives on the dynamic, but that you also energetically are expressing yourself and the Universe in all it’s divine wisdom is able to communicate the sentiment of your deepest feelings to that particular person. I did this activity several times with my own father. I really allowed myself to release some of the pent up resentment, rage, anger, pain and then eventually pity and compassion I felt for him. It took a few letters, but I am grateful to say that I have now released what used to be an immediate disgusted reaction to the thought or mention of him.

After my most recent letter of release (or as I call them “come clean letters”) he contacted me about 4 months later to make amends (in his own way) and I immediately perceived that as confirmation that he had received the underlying energy (which was ultimately forgiveness) that I had extended to him.

After having written this most recent letter, I really gained a lot of insight. The most revelatory of them, was that I made a lot choices (including not truly forgiving my own self) that kept me tied to the turmoil that I associated with the dynamic. A lot of times we want to “just move on” from painful things, however that usually is the equivalent of suppressing the pain, which will only result in it being expressed in ways which we don’t have much conscious control. The only want to truly release pain is to allow it. There is a fine line between dwelling in pain and objectively viewing and perceiving the universal context within which it was created. Hurt people hurt people and anyone who has hurt me, I know without a shadow of a doubt, is also hurting.

My approach to life is that I allow myself to be a free space for the full potential of divine expression to flow through me. Anything that makes me feel other than blissful or satisfied and causes my overall vibration to lower, us up for examination. When it involves another person, writing it out is a very powerful tool. I have helped a lot of my clients use this tool and we will be exploring this with more depth in Transformation Period, our new personal development business. Yes God!

 

With So Much Love,

Archery Class & The Law of Attraction

Published on by Transformation Period1 Comment

As many of you know I have been, and am now even more intensely studying Universal Law, specifically the Law of Attraction. I took an amazing Archery class yesterday and after watching the footage, I was so inspired and compelled to create this very powerful analogy.

Something inside of me knew that I would take to archery like a natural. I am born under the Sun Sign of Sagittarius and besides that, I have always been very athletic. Once the technique was explained and showed to me once, I never missed the target. After watching the video of my performance, I realized something. Archery is EXACTLY like the law of attraction and therefore life itself. The arrow is us, and we have the power to direct ourselves because the (divine) power, force and momentum is never a question. We are always in a perpetual state of  propelling forward, this is in our divine nature, but the variable is the direction of our propel. Had I pointed my aim at the building behind me, or the person next to me, not only would I not have hit my target, but I could have really harmed someone else in the process.

This sounds so simple and obvious in these terms, however we do this with our attention and focus all the time. We think and say “I really want a great partner” but then we lament over previous experiences that hurt us or we say things like “all men/woman are the same”. We want to manifest more currency in our lives but then we say “Oh I can’t afford that…”. We want to release weight but then we tell ourselves when we look in the mirror “Oh my God I’m so fat”. We will always go where our attention is focused and guided. I have been making it a practice to ONLY ponder uplifting and prosperous thoughts. It takes awareness and intention. Even in the face of contrast, I say to myself “all things are working out for my ultimate good”

I challenge us as we move about our day today to be mindful of the internal self-talk and assess if it’s aiming in the direction of your true desires.

With So Much Love,

 

Megan(2)

The Honey Pot is going away

Published on by Transformation Period1 Comment

Greetings!

I wanted to take some time to connect and discuss the recent happenings in my business. As a rule of thumb, transparency in all areas, especially emotional processing has been and always will be my primary business model. Honey Principles of Transformation (The Acronym which created The Honey Pot) is something that is innate within me and also the thing which I have realized allows me to offer value to those whom I come into contact with.

With that being said! The Honey Pot is going away…. however, as is typical with life, something bigger, better and more expansive is being born in it’s place. As many of you know, my initial slogan began as “Yeeeesssss!” There were many catalysts that transformed “Yes” into “Yes God”

In retrospect, once I began to dissociate with a lack mindset (struggle, over-focus on racial/gender inequality, focus on what I was lacking versus what I had available in plain sight at my disposal) and all people, places and things that exemplified those things, I was brought to a place of extreme humility, gratitude and clarity. Once I shifted my perspective and focused on how I could serve and what I could give versus what I thought society (or even God) owed me; brilliant (divine) ideas, opportunities and prosperity began to flood into my life.

I understand that the term GOD is subjective and means different things to different people. For the sake of this article, I am referring to the Creator, Most High, Allah, Divine Source and/or the Universe. I also know that my use of this term deters and pushes some individuals away from me and my business…… YES GOD!

God became my focal point,  the center of my universe, and my intentions were focused on how to be an example of God’s divine intelligence. I was instantly humbled and overwhelmed with gratitude each and everyday when I allowed myself to see what was going divinely right. This is not to say that I am ignorant to the ills of the world, however I know that the best (and only) way that I can affect change is to become the change I want to see.

Business has been thriving, growing and expanding rapidly. Between fulfilling orders, expanding the product lines, servicing clients, traveling for events, speaking engagements,  vending, developing educational programs and increasing consultations, we have managed to catch the attention of some very large brands. Last weekend I received a certified letter from a company that cited Trademark Infringement for my business name in the specific market/industry (feminine wellness) that I serve. When the mailman came and rang the doorbell and I saw the letter versus the typical package, my intuition immediately knew what it was. I had attempted to mitigate this issue by adding the word “Method” to the end of my business name early on, however the words “Honey Pot” have been trademarked.

I observed my anxiety start to set in, however because of my due diligence and practice of perspective alchemy, I immediately asked myself “what amazing opportunities can possibly result from this”? I thought briefly about arguing semantics, getting into a back and forth legal battle over the specifics and promptly decided that, you know what? They can have it! The name of my company isn’t what makes me successful, it’s the energy I put into it, the value that I offer people, the results that they receive by investing into my products and services. It was a relatively quick decision that took me about 10 minutes after mulling it over. I thought to myself “what can I name my company that truly represents where I am going with my brand?” I then opened my facebook page almost on auto pilot and saw my profile picture which is a picture of me with my “Yes God” earrings on. There was a sense of calm knowing that came over me. It was settled. Yes God Wellness was born. (Really God? You just bogarded like that? LOL!)

I have shared this widely on my social media platforms, however I know that not all of us utilize social media frequently so I wanted to be sure to communicate the changes going forward so when you see future communication coming from Yes God Wellness, you weren’t confused. I am so appreciative of all of the support, love and feedback I have received thus far and it is my intention to carry this message, brand and company far and wide.

I hope everyone is having an amazing Friday! YES GOD!

With So Much Love,

Megan(2)

Best Case Scenario

Published on by Transformation PeriodLeave a comment
Greetings! I want to take a moment and discuss a situation that I recently experienced. Late last month, I took a trip to the Caribbean and I had an amazing time! It was very eye-opening and I gained a lot of perspective on my life and how blessed I am and how many opportunities I have. In all honestly, it exposed how many opportunities that I take advantage of. I returned back stateside with a new passion and commitment to pursue my dreams and goals of impacting as many people as possible in an uplifting and empowering way.
On the last leg of the trip home,  I put my wallet in my carryon bag and boarded the flight. By the time I got home and pulled up to the gas station I realized that my wallet was no longer where I had put it, it was gone. I observed that my mind (and therefore my emotions) immediately went into panic mode. I had my passport, identification cards, money, social security cards, etc in my wallet. My brain scanned in the worst case scenario as I felt the sinking anxiety set in.  I began to consider all the things that I had ‘lost”, along with the tedious processes and expenses I was going to have to go incur. My brain began to visit all  the risks that were associated with someone having access to all of my personal identification and some of my resources. I noticed what was going on and I began to take deep breaths and tell myself “this is going to all work out, God’s got me”. After about 3 minutes I felt a sense of calm and relief…
As I sat parked in the gas station I thought to myself,  you know what I need gas right now I need to get home. (I was supposed to fill up my gas tank before I went to the airport…shoulda listened to my intuition) There was a gentleman at the next pump, so I asked if I could cash app him some money so that he could give it to me so I could put it in my car.  He would not except the money, but still gave me five bucks to get home, which I was extremely grateful for. I began to think ”  you know what I am going to get my wallet back, someone will do the right thing and turn it in because that’s what I would do, and I can only attract what I am”.
I just kept repeating in my mind that I’m going to have my wallet back and I did something kind of risky just to make a declaration to the universe of how sure I was I would receive my wallet back. I did NOT cancel any of my bankcards because I was dead set on getting my wallet back. I am naturally resourceful person, so I had pictures of my car is in my numbers and I was still able to purchase supplies in and do transactions.
The next morning, I went and head and filled out all the lost and found forms and after a couple days I was receiving emails back that said  “Unfortunately we haven’t received any items that match the description….”.
I still didn’t cancel any of my cards. I had faith and believed. During my morning journaling sessions I wrote “God I trust you I trust that you’re going to bring it back to me”. After a few more emails that begun with the word “Unfortunately…” two weeks later, I woke up to an email that said “We are happy to report that we have located…” I jumped up and began to praise GOD!!! YES GOD YES GOD YES GOD!!! Thank you GOD!!!
I went online and paid 30 bucks to have it overnighted to me.
In retrospect, I am very proud of is the fact that I was able to observe my mind and interject a more positive and empowering outcome/scenario. I am so grateful that I am being mindful and intentionally developing the way that I think, respond and react to things that happen in my life.  Because of it,  I was able to interrupt my mind’s natural tendency to kind of go off the wagon and feed into fear.
I wanted to share this because its proof that we literally create with our minds, thoughts and expectations. I am challenging myself/us to really think about what would have happened if I had relegated myself to think. “O well, I’ll chalk it up as a loss.”  Let me go ahead and pay another 200 bucks for my passport,  let me go ahead and cancel all my bankcards (causing a major inconvenience to my business operations and all of my things that I have automatically tied into them).
The moral of the story is that I took action as if what I wanted to happen was already done.  I didn’t jump the gun and start to spend all this unnecessary money or inconvenience myself in ways that were unnecessary because I believed in my heart of hearts that my wallet was coming back to me. It is my theory that it was my belief that it was coming back,  is what caused it to come back. I believe this because it has proved true for me in MANY other scenarios which is why I was so determined and sure that my wallet would be no exception to this universal rule.
I think it’s a normal habit for our minds to automatically go to the worst case scenario. We have been conditioned to perceive this approach as being helpful because we can then “prepare for the worst” and do damage control. But, why prepare for the worst when we could in actuality prepare for the best?
Hopefully this will help you us continue (or start) to observe ourselves in situations where we  tend to respond or react immediately.  and I am you know and I can help you to kind of interject and instead of considering the worst case scenario, begin to insist on the best case scenario.
With So Much Love,
Megan(2)
