This bonus episode shares the audio from a recent IG live I led on presence, how it is our gateway to life, its connection with the heart and its role in moving through seasons filled with deep emotion, the reasons the mind/intellect can keep us distracted instead of present, and how to begin to work with yourself to invite presence in.
It's episode 25 and the show is taking a new step as a guiding light and leader in Transformational Grief Work. Tune in to hear about this evolution, what being Transformed by Grief means, and what you can expect.
Lots of grief reflections pouring in this season. After a potent Grief Flow in The Sanctuary last week, so many important reflections have been pouring through around: Allowing yourself to meet your unique grief ripple, attuning to your body and emotions so you can release expectations and begin to show up as you are, working with discomfort, to tap into deeper emotions beyond it, Summertime grief and how strange it can feel, Ceasing your fight with where you are in your grief process…
My sister, Sylvia, interviews me on so many great topics in this one! We explore everything from how and why I started coaching, to what makes this work different from "normal" coaching, to how transformational work liberates energy. She also shares about her experiences with this approach to healing and many great reflections!
It's finally here! The long awaited and teased episode on my background. Plus, The Sanctuary membership is live too!
In this episode I go into depth on: my early years, my mom's early cancer diagnosis and how it impacted me, the many survival and fear energies I lived with for years, my relationship to my mom and the Cancer…
I've been reflecting on how everything EllieFlow, all of my work and offerings, is born from the viewpoint that simply by engaging with life, and with all that it is bringing to the surface for us (emotions, thoughts, resistance, energies of fear, scarcity, grief, joy, gratitude, and more...), we engage in the process of organic transformation.
What I teach and guide here, in client sessions, and my programs, and in the upcoming membership is all about connecting with what is here right now, in trust that it will open the next door on your path as you deepen into presence with it.
Join me this Sunday for a special Mother's Day Grief Flow Ceremony. I created Grief Flows to be an intimate and sacred personal and community space to turn toward your grief with spaciousness and multi-dimensional support as you process and connect to the vibrancy of life, within and without.
This {Virtual} Grief Flow is for anyone experiencing grief or pain around their relationship to their mother or child, mother loss, being or becoming a mother, motherhood in general, or for anyone simply desiring a space to move with grief right now!
This episode is POWERFUL! Consider it your masterclass on resistance, and how to shift into current, present energy so you can engage with your life and flow. I discuss what resistance is, where it comes from and what the energy of it is. I also discusses the importance of acknowledging anger when working through resistance, rather than bypassing it, to achieve liberation and deeper self-connection. I guide you through a process of softening towards resistance…
A free meditation for cultivating presence in your daily life, and coming present and current with all that’s moving within you.
Spring is here on the outside, but how are you feeling on the inside? Does your inner season line up with the outer season? Spring time is a dance of energies that move us forward, but that does happen without the surfacing of the fear, limiting beliefs, and limitations to be worked with and alchemized. In this episode, I explore the dueling, and non-linear energies of Emergence (the 3rd phase in the 5 Spheres of Transformation), offer wisdom, awareness and perspective shifts to support you in this season…
The idea of being fluid with grief has been on my mind and heart for the last week. Join me in an exploration of:
What fluidity with grief is; how to meet grief and allow grief to meet us with less rigidity; the softness that fluidity invites us into and where that might be leading you; the freedom available to us through this cultivation; allowing grief to look and be different in our lives in different moments and seasons.
On this episode, Ellie shares the internal reorganization process she has been through in the last 7 weeks, and how these shifts have called her to focus on the foundational of belief systems that allow for flow and transformation. Ellie speaks to the intersection of our humanity and our divinity, the beauty and energy alive in you, and the power of coming into conscious relationship with all parts of yourself and greater being…
In this episode I offer supportive teachings, reflections, and guided practice to support you in sitting with what is present and alive deep within in order to promote processing and restoration.
This will also allow the experience to ground you into listening and moving from your greater being instead of purely from intellect (the mind). At the beginning I explore the questions: "What does it actually mean to sit with your sadness or pain?!" and then offer guidance (almost like a meditation), using the episode as a container to support you, to help you…
In this episode I share about the process of the last few months and reflections from a recent void space I dipped into.
I also share:
Insights and wisdom for moving through this time of year, and opening to the transition that is upon us;
Deepening into the call to connect with the soft hum of vitality that is available to us all amidst times of inner or outer winter;
Tools for creating 'fluid structure' in seasons of transitions, so that we may be carried forward with gentle momentum instead of becoming weighed down by dullness or heaviness…
Feeling drained and disconnected?
Join me in this episode as we explore the process of reconnecting to our greater beings amidst overwhelm and living within the current energetic atmosphere.
I speak to the disconnection from Self that I'm sensing all around us as we navigate life right now, what this disconnection looks like and feels like in my life, how we avoid what we most need when we are drained, and how the highlighted uncertainty is bring up deep fears and calling us into more conscious connection.
This is such a special episode and raw conversation on reclaiming our relationship to Self and Life after loss with my friend, Laura Thomas. Laura and I met in college and then reconnected years later amidst our evolving grief journeys. In this conversation (which we recorded in May 2023), we both reflect on grief and she shares her story of self discovery and self-love, catapulted by her brother's death to suicide in her early 20's. Her story perfectly exemplifies what it means to say and live out, "I am willing, even though I am scared", and the wisdom she embodies through her 'born through grief' journey is deeply touching and encouraging.
In this episode I am sharing the energy of the 'Born Through Grief Journey'. I speak to the origins of the phrase, what it means in our lives, the initiation that it entails, and its undeniable power in our lives when we say "Yes, I am afraid but willing" to grief and loss portals and initiations.
This episode is all about bringing a conscious moment of welcoming to the grief and pain that is alive in ourselves and the world, while also centering in the heart, releasing energy that isn't our own, and moving with the energy that IS our own. I lead you in a short breath practice that I call the Fountain Breath, to help you do this. It is calming, cleansing, and centering.
This is one of those episodes that feels like a meditation or a transformational session**. The energy current that's flowing right now is one that is calling us to presence, to slow down, to open ourselves to FEEL, and be in awareness of our bodies, thoughts, emotions, and the conditioned contractions of our inner system. I start off the episode by offering an energetic read for this season and what I feel we are being called toward.
This centering meditation is a gentle and connective practice that is perfect to use any time (even daily) during the 'Emergence' or 'I am ALIVE' spheres of transformation, as explored in the last episode (episode 6) of The Fountain with Ellie Thomas podcast. Along with relaxing music, this meditation leads you through a simple visualization practice to release energy that isn't yours, call your energy back to your body, and then attune to what's ready to emerge and what's ready to release.
This is such a special episode because it is my first public teaching of the process of transformation, and the five spheres that comprise it, which I received in the middle of the night 9 months ago. These five spheres (Release, Dancing with the Unknown, Emergence, I am ALIVE, Here I am) each carry potent and powerful teachings that will ground you in your process, and I hope offer reflection, permission, guidance, clarity, hope, and grace in your current moment.
The Meditation for Emotional Release is incredibly gentle, soothing, and offers guidance to begin to feel into parts of you that might be more ready to surface and be expressed than you realize.
