Manifest Love With The Creative Cycle & Five Elements

Harness the power of the Wood Element for rebirth & renewal by reflecting on five powerful prompts to rethink the past experiences that have shaped your beliefs, expectations, and preconceptions about love and loving.

Explore how to approach the art of loving, starting with learning the three essential conditions for loving and how to practice them, as well as two special ingredients to help you master the art of loving.

Today we’ll explore the biggest obstacle to the art of loving and two essential ingredients to overcome it, and a guided meditation and reflection exercise to revisit the last time you lost faith in either yourself or someone you know well and strengthen your objectivity and faith in them.

Explore the second of the five elements of the Creative Cycle - the Fire Element and the qualities of expansion, authenticity, and self-love. Be guided through powerful reflection prompts relating to self-love as you begin your journey.

In any marriage, we make vows to make what is a sacred union, tangible and real. Today we'll explore the four sacred vows of marrying yourself with author and television writer Tracy McMillan to cultivate self-love.

Be guided through a visualization meditation to harness the power of the Fire Element and cultivate self-love through the sacred act of marrying yourself. This meditation is most powerful when practiced daily.

Explore the third of the five elements of the Creative Cycle - the Earth Element and the qualities of assimilation, transformation, and nurturance. When in balance, the Earth element manifests as a capacity to care for and nurture yourself in a way a mother cares for her child unconditionally, or as how Mother Earth provides for us without asking for anything in return. You feel grounded, and connected in who you are, in your relationships with others and yourself.

Explore the two archetypes of love - Motherly Love and Fatherly Love, which are representations of Unconditional Love and Conditional Love, two halves of a Whole as in Yin-Yang, and how these are important to us.

Be guided through a Yin-Yang meditation to cultivate both unconditional and conditional love through the union of both of these practices. Within the world, we can experience two primary energies - which can be called Yin-Yang. Yin-Yang is also the pathway or manner with which we interact with the world.

Explore the fourth of the five elements of the Creative Cycle - the Metal Element and the qualities of release and refinement. Discover the difference between detachment and non-attachment and how you can love with non-attachment.

Explore how to practice the art of loving with non-attachment, while acknowledging the inevitable heartbreak and loss we experience in life through the wisdom of poet and author David Whyte and author Susan Cain.

Today’s exploration to embody and harness the energy of the Metal element and the power of refinement, releasing and loving with non-attachment comes from my other course, Healing Touch: Emotional Alchemy Acupressure.

Fear is the emotion that manifests when the Water element is out of balance. On the other side of that fear, is faith, an unshakeable trust in your connection with something much greater than you - the Dao, the Divine, the pulsations and flow of life itself. Be guided through powerful reflection prompts as you embark on your journey to Love.

Fear is the manifestation of the Water element when out of balance, but what about the other side of this fear? Discover how the Water element is related to Love of/with the divine through the timeless story, the Alchemist.

Yesterday we explored how the other side of Fear is Faith, and the path to Faith is through Love, with the capital L, Love from and of the Divine. To empower you to transform fear into faith through Love, today I’d like to share with you some words from my teacher, founder of Freedom Yoga, Erich Schiffmann.

Discover how embodying the paradox is the pathway to tap into the power of the Water Element and Divine Love. Water is a strange element. It has no fixed form - it morphs and changes from ice to fluid, to vapor. It can be strong and deep, but also soft, and shallow. It seems almost like the perfect embodiment of a paradox.

Today, we’ll explore a guided standing water element exploration, this is inspired by the experience I co-created with my friend, MariaChiara Tirizoni, writer and host of Creative Mornings Milan. Later on, there will be the option to engage in gentle movements with your eyes closed. If this is uncomfortable or not accessible for you, you are welcome to keep your eyes open, but guide your awareness inwards, or let one hand rest gently on a support such as a wall or chair.

Be guided to review and revisit the key points from each of the Five Elements of the Creative Cycle, and a key insight about the Creative Spiral as you continue on your journey to manifest love in your life.
