The Feminine Indigo in Business

I have a few female role models and I’m pretty sure they are Indigo

They include
Angelina Jolie- she doesn’t hold back, she loves passionately, speaks eloquently and is just the most gorgeous sexy undefinable woman- she takes all those stereotypes of women – whore, mother, crone, maiden, etc and becomes all of them and none of them. She was destructive when she had no purpose, because inside her spirit knew it was here to make a massive difference. A defo indigo trait in my opinion!
Dolly Parton
Paris Hilton (this woman receives compliments better than any woman I know and has taught me to smile and say thank you rather than deflecting compliments- she is also a savvy business woman behind the sunnies and the peroxide- like Dolly, she knows how to establish a brand, create a persona and work it!)
Linda Macartney- what a pioneering visionary amazing lady.

These women followed their passions, love like mad and have a bigger purpose- I know Dolly prays all the time and had early flushes of faith like I had as a child and that they all really care about people & animals.

They aren’t afraid to be sexy, wild and feminine and don’t try to be ’spiritual’ they just live like women in full using the gifts God gave them to follow their highest calling.

As a women who loves people and is also crazy enough to believe she is here to help with the re-balancing & healing of our beautiful planet I have (after years of trial and error) eventually landed on a ‘business’ that works for me. I work best with people and now do intuitive counselling so I can use my gifts in a way that feels ‘real’ to me. As a teen and in my twenties I’d be offered jobs in sales all the time because I have that whole ’speak to anyone with my heart open’ thing -
that a lot of Indigos have….BUT i never ever wanted to ‘turn that on’ just to put cash in the bank for a business that wasn’t helping people and the planet.

So that is why I went solo. I also had a knack of being able to ’see into someone’- I didn’t go do a course because there is no handbook for what I do – it’s a gift, not anything to do with initials after my name (although I do have that stuff)

Now I tithe to www.pachamama.org and really love being in business for myself.As a woman i tend to focus more on the intagibles than a guy in business, (love, service, sharing community)I had to train myself to couple that with the tangible and get to grips with the tangibles- (money, taxes, sales). As a female I had to consciously decide to think about the money and I have had some horrible scary financial moments before learning how to charge, receive and value myself. I am still working on this all the time, but at least I am no longer shying away from it all together!

Even when times were hard financially my faith never left me because I knew eventually that I would find a way, and the picture seems to get clearer all the time. I think it’s a bit like tuning in a radio or telly- the picture comes into view but starts out kind of fuzzy- you keep backing and to-ing until you see what you like- and then you get to live it….Crystal clear picture and in surround sound.

My trip to the Amazon last year taught me the real ‘Law of the jungle’ and to me, the reeal law of business in the new paradigm – one of inter-connectedness, sacred reciprocity and true balance and co-operation.

I Love what I do and encourage everyone to follow their hearts and make a living from their love- whether that is expressed through business, professional service, public service, whatever. We all have a part to play and are a unique piece of the puzzle- It’s going to take all of us showing up to complete the picture on the front of the jigsaw which shows a healed, happy, loving , healthy and harmonious planet.

I’m excited about 2010- it feels so good already.

My plans include taking a group to the Amazon with the Pachamama Alliance to work with shaman and experience the rainforest and indigenous Achuar tribe who are the natural inhabitants and custodians of the land.

Closer to home I’ll be working intimately with some small groups, (Pearl & Golden) doing more readings/ intuitive one-to-ones and be doing workshops in the UK (where I live) – to stay informed and get a free subscription to my monthly newsletter simply click here

The biggest thing about being in business for me- and the one tip I would give any female Indigo that wants to work for herself from her heart, make a difference and get paid for working in her gifts is that you have to know your worth.

I think how much money we make comes down to self- worth in lots of ways.

The key thing every business needs is the area I struggled most with – that was ’selling.’ Gosh, even the concept felt aggressive, manipulative and just wrong. I had to find ways to think that made me not only feel that it was ok, but that it was in fact part of my spiritual, sacred service.

I had to reconcile the masculine energy of going out there and ‘closing the deal’ with my feminine energy that just wanted to love everyone and give it all away boundlessly forever! Trouble is, that makes as much sense in business as standing on the corner handing out 100 dollar bills.

Now I feel I have integrated both the Divine masculine & feminine in a way that works for me. The masculine energy implements and backs up the ideas and wishes of my divine feminine, and things feel so much more balanced and effortless!

I am happy to share here in the hope it helps you business/self-employed gals out there struggling with this-

If I know I can help someone, they need help to make a decision – That is the key. What I realsied is It is up to ME to convey the value of what I do so they can make their ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ an informed one.

I come from a place where I am devoted to helping someone who is thinking about working with me decide from their knowing- BUT I am not attached to whether that is yes or no, just that it’s not a ‘maybe’ – i.e.one more fuzzy thought for them to hang on to and keep them more stuck, still not taking action, being in confusion and not fulfilling their potential.

If they are ‘maybe’ I haven’t done my job of communicating the value I can provide. If working with me is the difference between peace in their lives, happiness in their work and more joy in themselves to share with their families then I am doing a disservice to them by not adequately expressing that. Once I have then they may feel it’s not right for them, or they might decide to go for it, either way, I trust it’s perfect.

I ask God to send me the people I am supposed to work with, I ask him to clearly show what’s really going on and how I can best serve. Sometime I intuitively feel that “nope, this is not my ideal client”. When I get a hit like that I will still hope to add value by recommending an alternative resource that I feel could help them best, so I might just recommend a book or whatever I feel intuitively to say and then wish them all the best- it’s not about ‘getting the sale’ it’s about serving from faith & the knowledge that there are plenty of people that I am a perfect fit for and those are the ones I want to work with as I can do most good with them! *(I work with lots of Indigos, but rarely attract other types as they think I am a total woo woo space cake ;) )

So far all my relationships have been so richly rewarding. Regarding boundaries I probably do get closer to my client than a guy would, but I can’t fight my nature- I have tried that and it doesn’t work for me. I am really into protecting my energy and clearing space now that I interact with so many clients and go so deep- Boundaries are an ever evolving issue that I am much better with now. It really helps to have an assistant who can help you maintain the distance (and an egg timer so you don’t run over the time you are hired for ;) )

It will probably mean I get stung in business more than some more ‘alpha’ types but I have strong intuition and usually know intuitively when it’s better for me to not work with someone. I hope this helps any theta male or female Indigo types and I really encourage you to go for your dreams and make that difference you know you came here for.

Ask God and the angels to help show you clearly the way and you’ll see the path unfold before you!

Love to you and best for 2010

What is PachaMama?

I’ve been working in partnership with the ‘Pachamama Alliance’ for over a year now. The meaning of the word ‘Pachamama’ is a Quichia word that means “Mother Nature” but more than that, it means the cosmos and all life.

Below is a video that explains it and where it comes from, with a message for anyone who wants to learn more about living in harmony with nature and living from the heart.

If you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, here is a message from indigenous leader and healer Don Alverto Taxo that I wanted to share.

He speaks so beautifully it is almost like poetry.

“PachaMama feels great, great love
But we, the majority of her sons and daughters
Are not living in harmony with the love of Pachamama
Who gives everything that exists
Many of her children are doing things
Which are affecting the skin, the body of pm,
Affecting the earth
They forgot that Pachamama is their mother
And they started following a wrong dream
One in which they must dominate their mother
They have forgotten the true meaning of mother
A very natural way that her sons and daughters
can reconnect with Pachamama
Is to give thanks for all the gifts
That we are offered every day and in every moment.
For example, its easy for us to give thanks for what we eat
At breakfast, at lunch and at dinner”
This is a gift, a manifestation of Pachamama.

What Is Your Dream?

Whatever you dream, dream big!

Last summer I was in the Amazon Jungle, staying with a tribe in Equador called the Achuar.

This trip with the Pachamama Alliance was like a dream come true!

The Achuar are what is know as a “dream culture” they ’see’ things in their dreams at night which pre-inform the days, weeks, months, even years ahead.

This is fascinating for anyone who has ever dreamt something, and then found it to actualise- these people in this part of the World live this way!

Their dreams are upheld with the upmost authority and we were also advised to begin to keep a pen and paper by our bedsides, so we could recall our dreams and interpret them for ourselves, recognising themes, patterns or signals that come to us whilst we are in that altered state of consciousness known as sleep!

I suggest you can do the same, what do you say?

Action Step: I would love to hear about your dreams, and your dreams in the sense of your waking dreams also- your ‘goals’ if you like!

It really is amazing the power of writing these goals down, I came across a list I had written 12 months ago during a recent clear out and could not believe how much of it I had achieved- so try it!

Write down just one or two and see how it goes for you!

Even better, why not share them and “go public” with your dreams…Share them with
others just like you in the Bettermorphosis Forum

I love these 2 quotes about dreams,

The first is by D.H. Lawrence, it reminds us that we are alive and have the power to do things with our lIves!

It is exciting that he uses the words “dangerous people” I like to think that people who are awake are indeed ‘dangerous’ to the systems and intitutions that are out of date, out of integrity, and out of alignment.

I think we may also be ‘dangerous’ to the “status quo” that want us to settle down and not question and challenge authority or push the boundaries!

The second quote is lovely, and so rhythmic- you’ll know immediately why I love it…

“All people dream, but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind,
Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity.
But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people,
For they dream their dreams with open eyes,
And make them come true.”

D.H.Lawrence
“My mind wants to interpret
All my dreams.
My heart wants to love
All my dreams.
My soul wants to fulfil
All my dreams”

Sri Chinmoy

Final Thought:
Why not dream really really big? It takes the same time to dream big as it does to dream small!
