Dear Reader,

​

I hope this email finds you well. So many of us worldwide are experiencing all kinds of challenges—Earth-made and confused human-made—personal challenges and ones happening to our loved ones, inviting us to grow with them.

​

It is never easy, and if trying to keep ourselves calm and centered is a challenge in everyone's daily family lives, then definitely, when there is an additional layer of events.

Having a personal toolbox is often the key to nurturing ourselves also when it’s challenging.

Any time is good for starting. It is easier when we have the time and are not in the middle of a crisis, as anchoring the feelings and energetic experience is more accessible. That said, the middle of a crisis is just as good. If that’s our push to start practicing, so be it.

Most of us have many tools in our toolbox, ones we’ve collected over the years or that awaken within us intuitively.

As a child, I knew how to use my breathing and how to warm my body when I was cold, with my intention and a rush of energy from within me.

For our toll box to be helpful, we need to use it.

Our children have their intuitive toolbox. If you are here, they probably also have some additional tools you shared with them, ones I share with you (and if you are new here, check the resources page), or ones you learned from others.

It is important to practice and bring the tools back to our (and our) awareness. When we suddenly need them, practicing creates a flow.

One last aspect to the invitation to practice our tools… The anchoring...

Let’s take the simple example of slowing our breathing. When we practice, we learn how slowing affects our bodies and how it feels physically. We notice the calmness, or stillness, that opens when we slow our breath. We know how the ‘outcome’ feels. Then, we face a moment in which we ‘need’ this tool to gather ourselves; we have a physical knowing of where we wish to get.

The power of anchoring is significant with all tools. Without knowing of calm feelings, getting there would be much harder.

In the last two weeks, I’ve participated in two inspiring moms' events, and two podcast recordings that might interest some of you went live....

​

The MUM summit – Mothers United Moment – the recordings (this is the link to my talk) are still available for you to catch up on (I am not sure for how long) – on the aweacian acadmy page, you can find the other sessions. For those without FB, its also on YouTube (for a limited time). It was an incredibly inspiring event.

​

The Mama Genius Festival is still happening! Inspiring short talks … Register here: https://mamageniushub.com/festival2024​

Here is a link to my talk: How to Support Your Child(ren) Soul Journey? Can we support their journey? And the secret key to how?​

​

Two podcast interviews that went live recently :).

​The Conscious but Not Crazy Podcast hosted by Kori Bloom Lauritsen – This conversation took us to explore the transformation of a parent after a life-altering event – tackling parenting while in the process of personal growth.

​Just Ask Spirit Podcast hosted by Sherianna Boyle – Sherianna has an upcoming book with the name of her podcast – Just Ask Spirit – that I am looking forward to – In our conversation, we touched on what guidance is, what promise we made to ourselves, and, of course – parenting and spirituality.

Enjoy :)

Someone you want to know!

​Chiara B. Townley, Mom Coach, Healer, and Writer, was born in Italy and lives in the United States. Motherhood was the catalyst for her spiritual awakening. She had a difficult pregnancy, a traumatic birth, and postpartum depression and anxiety. She healed by processing her emotions in the body with the guidance of the chakras. After healing, she felt called to help moms-to-be and moms. Her unique approach combines energy and chakra work, emotional release through color, elemental healing, and soul astrology. She helps moms-to-be and moms activate their confidence, power, and intuition so they make the best decisions for their families and create new legacies.

There is something very delicate and on to the point in Chiara’s work. She was also a speaker at the MUM summit and the Mama Genius Festival. Chiara is offering our community her free gift: 4 Steps to Start to Embody the Empress Mama, and if you purchase her course, Chakras in Motherhood, you will receive a free 1:1 session with her (This is an offer just for our community – to get your free 1:1 session - email Chiara at chiaratownleyllc@gmail.com after purchasing).

​Our Parenting & (Non-Religious) Spirituality Book Club is meeting this week – Tuesday, Oct 15, 11 am ET; 5 pm CET; 6 pm my time. Our conversation will be about an amazing, inspiring book by the Dalai Lama – Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World – highly recommended for everyone!

This has become an email with lots of resources & invitations – Abundance :).

In Gratitude,
