OPERATION #lovingpeta
Day 16,17,18 actually I can’t really remember what day I’m up to!
But isn’t that great? I haven’t felt this deeply relaxed in a long time…I start to ‘do’ something and then my whole body just says NUP we are not done relaxing yet kid, so just stop what you’re doing.
OK
For the first Xmas in ages I wasn’t on Facebook, Insta, Voxer, Email, nuthin….it felt a little bit weird I must say, but kinda good too, actually reeeeaal good and guess what? The world did not stop turning because Peta Bastian took some time off!

Update: RELAXING is definitely good for this woman, so relaxed that I haven’t felt compelled to be on social, which gives me more time to be with my small people💖
.
But I just wanted to let you know that - yes I’m doing yoga nidra, no not everyday, yes I’m loving myself and I have this new inner voice that is so much kinder, more gentle, she congratulates me, she sees me and loves me as I am - which is pretty awesome really.

OPERATION #lovingpeta Day 7

OPERATION #lovingpeta
Day 7
This Yoga Nidra stuff is DEFINITELY working! So many things in the last few days that would have had me spirally out of control running down the street with arms flailing screaming like an idiot, but instead I’ve been like super cool, calm and collected dealing with it like a MOFO pro!

Todays support oils have been PastTense - the headache relief blend and InTune - the focus blend applied to the back of my neck - they work and I smell amazing!! #winning

Thanks to my awesome friend Fiora for this kick-arse image!

OPERATION #lovingpeta Day 6

OPERATION #lovingpeta
Day 6
What makes you feel safe? This is a question I have asked myself and posed to my leaders that I work with in order to start that process of understanding what it is we need to feel safe. Safety is one of those foundational needs that we have as humans in terms of keeping physically safe but what makes you feel safe to feel, to dream to desire, to ask, to receive, to believe, to love, to experience joy, to be empowered, to be honest, to speak out, to show up, to play, to laugh, to sing, to dance, to be-you-to-the-full?
.
When I asked myself this question a few years ago I realised that one thing that helps me feel safe is being organised and on time, my friends and family will most likely laugh because traditionally those have not been my strongest qualities!! In fact I can quite easily sabotage myself by trying to fit too may things into a 10 minute space of time, like hang out the washing, eat breakfast, clean three sets of teeth, check my biz back office, write a quick facebook post and listen to Voxer messages as well and then wonder why I am yelling at the kids to get in the car “quick, quick, quick!!” and flying out the door cos I’m 10 minutes late, feeling hot under the collar, and anxiously thinking Fuck now I’m late for my 9 o’clock call…blahblahblah… sound familiar? Talk about feeding a limiting belief of ‘not good enough cos ya can’t even get anywhere on time and you always let people down by being late’
.
When I started working more consciously with feminine and masculine energies within me (the yin and the yang) as well as universally and in others I recognised that being organised was a structure to help me, rather than to hinder me. For a while there I resisted the masculine energy cos I thought of it as constricting me, the killjoy of the party, the ‘sensible boring one’. When we talk about masculine and feminine energy the feminine is the creative, intuitive, feelings part of us (the Being) and the masculine is the structured, organised, logical thinking, planning part of us (the DOing).
.
But I’ve since learned and experienced that the masculine structures ‘hold space’ for the feminine to swirl about and dance and play and dream and get inspired and connect intuitively. Yet the feminine can only really be this way when it feels safe.
.
So I realised that acknowledging and becoming friends with the masculine energy within me would actually allow me to be even more in my feminine flow as it would free me up to have space to BE. So for me learning the art of being organised and on time became a focus.
.
It’s an interesting dance though and in my efforts to befriend my masculine energy I had swung out of Full on Feminine Vibe into Full on Masculine Vibe quite unconsciously (until a friend that I respect and trust pointed it out to me when I was asking for advice on something). I had completely gone into the DO-DO-DO and not created any room for the gentleness of just Being in the flow. There was no balance. I was on FULL ALERT and juiced up to the eyeballs on GOTTA GET SHIT DONE LIKE YESTERDAY LET’S MOVE MOVE MOVE!!!!
.
Now don’t get me wrong it’s a really useful energy to activate the ol’ masculine getting shit done, but when you press that button ON and gaffer-tape it to be ON like 24/7 the system starts to short circuit!!! Something I prefer to say is ‘let’s make magic happen’ so that I can draw in all my energies and that of the universal vibrational energies and draw what we desire in doing the actions necessary whilst being guided by our intuition. But with all that gorgeous knowledge I still found myself unable to STOP doing all.of.the.time and just BE, welcome to centre stage The Worn-Out Woman Peta.
.
If you haven’t already guessed I’m all loved up today and feeling all philosophical, I’ve just finished my Yoga Nidra practice using Frankincense (the King of Oil with a very ancient masculine energy that calls to your heart to remember the truth) and Lavender (Lady Lavender with a feminine energy that melts away the harshness and soothes the she-wolf) as my gorgeous essential oils to go even deeper into this practice of getting my RESTING on and I am feeling beautifully blissed, un-rushed and connected to me which is a great place to be #lovingpeta

OPERATION #lovingpeta Day 5

OPERATION #lovingpeta
Day 5
The first day I started my Yoga Nidra practice I was like a desperate she-wolf who needed her Yoga Nidra cave (but worn-out woman Peta didn’t know it) and I just couldn’t seem to find 20 minutes to myself. But I was so bloody determined to get my RESTING on that I grabbed a 20 minute window when one of the kids was down the street playing with his mate and the other two were doing their thing and the hub was still at work so I thought “RIGHT! This is it!”
So of course the kid down the street came back with his mate and they were yahooing (not a crime really except when the she-wolf is trying to DE-STRESS instead of being in DISTRESS!!!!) Anyway I digress, there I am trying really really hard to stay zenned (side note here - I’d already been challenged with the audio download not working and not having the right app to download it in so trying another only to wait for it to download and then tell me this file is not supported! I mean seriously???? I don’t really buy into the whole Mercury Retrograde thing of all technology grinding to a holt but I was starting to question it…) Anyway, another tangent I know, I’m the queen of Tangents I bloody LOVE them.
Anyway, Billy walks into my room ‘Mum, Mum!!!’ and I rise up like that crazed she-wolf searching for the pause button on my audio download trying to breathe deeply and stay ‘in the moment’ only to be told something that I can’t even remember cos it was that important and I wildly look at Billy and semi-growl MUM IS M.E.D.I.T.A.T.I.N.G!!! I swear to god any zen I had flew out of my ears and I ended up saying fucking on the out breath and hell on the in breath.
So as I ‘progressed’ from Day 1-5 in my book I read that sometimes it’s a good idea to make a sign and teach your kids that this is a time for mum and to respect that when the sign is on the door they can’t come in. So bless their cotton socks - cos that’s exactly what I did and then I think it was day 3 or something when I heard Sampson answer my phone (he’s the kid who can’t let a phone ring without answering cos this is = to a fate worse than death), anyway he answered my phone and I heard him say “mum can’t come to the phone right now cos she’s meditating” !!! Fuckin love those kids!!!

OPERATION #lovingpeta Day 4

OPERATION #lovingpeta
Day 4
So I think it’s actually working - this 40 days of yoga nidra #lovingpeta
For the first time in a while I felt energised, well hang on what I mean is I didn’t feel dog-tired. I actually felt normal and wow it was like saying ‘hello old friend - I’ve missed you’
Then this morning I felt really inspired and energised by some ideas that began percolating in my noodle as I was having a shower (having a shower or hanging out the washing are where I get the biggest inspired ideas or see things in a new light and come up with solutions to things)
Anyway so I stepped out of the shower and thought Right!!! Let’s bloody fire this up and DO this!! And then I started feeling a little niggle to mayyyyybe just stop, take a breathe and ask myself does this need to happen Right now? The answer that I FELT was no, the message that I got was babe this is a great idea hun, really great and isn’t it awesome to feel that sense of excitement and inspired energy again? What’s say we keep on with this beautifully restorative practice of replenishing YOU so that next year we can really bring this inspired idea to life from a place of feeling fully empowered as the well rested woman rather than the worn out woman?
Hmm well that’s different, what do you mean like wait for a bit? Simply ENJOY feeling inspired and energised but not act on it straight away when I’ve still got 3000 other inspired ideas that I’m following up on plus the other matter of feeling exhausted and trying to find a way of completely slowing down so that I can reignite my feminine intuitive and creative powers that comes from feeling well rested and soul-nourished?
Yes darling
Ohhh. OK. Let’s give it a shot.

In other news, I took the time to sit down and help Billy write Xmas cards for his class mates today after school, I took the time to chat with another mama at school pickup, I also shortened my ToDoList down to something outrageous like my top 3 VIP activities - ground breaking!! Fancy not having a ToDoList 30 lines long on an A4 pad of paper?? Revolutionary for the recovering perfectionist who’s fallen off the wagon and methodically and unconsciously looks for evidence to back up the I’m a shit person limiting belief that’s weaselled it’s way back in.
Bloody revolutionary I tell you!!

There are two other wonderful things I heard today from other awesome humans
1. Ask yourself ‘What would love do and What would love say?’ @foodalchemy
2. Lighten the fuck up. We’ve gotta stop taking personal development, spiritual journeying, saving the planet and ourselves so seriously @petajean_

OPERATION #lovingpeta Day 3

OPERATION #lovingpeta
Day 3
So I was feeling MASSIVELY tired yesterday and I think I was detoxing, Karen Brody talks about this in her book Daring to Rest that I am reading and following the 40 days of yoga nidra practice. She talks about how your body may feel like you are detoxing and hell yes I felt even more exhausted then when I began plus my throat started to get swollen and sore and I woke up this morning like I had a head cold, so I got my fab4 (Oregano, Frankincense, Lemon & On Guard) with a dash of Easy Air and rubbed them on my feet, I also put a rub of DigestZen down the bridge of my nose which is a cool little inside trick for oily lovers which totally relieved my blocked sinus’s.
.
It’s like every time I’m lying down for yoga nidra I am unlayering another outer layer that I’ve unconsciously wrapped myself in to keep me upright and forging onward - you know like the jingle “soldier on with codral soldier on, soldier on…” Instead of listening to my body’s (and soul’s) pleas to rest or be kind or take your foot off of full throttle cos we are on a roll right now, I would put on another layer of armour, don my helmet and with sword raised high charge on ahead. So now as I am removing these shields of battle my body is going ‘oh thank fuck for that woman, let’s lie down and sleep for a week’ and pulled on the handbrake forcing this worn-out woman to REST.
.
I have never identified as the worn-out women more so than now. And part of me is scared to share that with you because what if it means you don’t want to work with me or worse yet that you get the impression that building a doTERRA biz burns you out. It doesn’t. That’s the deeper learning for me to experience in relation to how I approach things. What you will experience I don’t know, but as a leader I am so committed to showing ALL of it because I’m just like you, a human being who laughs cries falls down and gets up again. If you were wanting to me to be your guru then that’s not what I’m offering in fact that’s your job not mine - I’ve already got a full time job being my own guru. What I love about this biz model is that it’s the BEST personal development ever - and I’ve done a lot, but this ride baby well this it’s like no other. So as I was saying if you are looking to me for all the answers, courage and strength my lovely you are giving your power away and I implore you to look to yourself for these things.
.
What you can look to me for is a partnership, a deep collaboration in which I share with you what is real and alive on this pathway that I walk before you and if I can clear a bit of the path for you just by sharing what I found then friend this is what I will do. I will be your biggest cheerleader, advocate, accountability partner and funny AF comrade as you have your own journey of personal development whilst building a biz that will create financial freedom through HELPING other people learn about using essential oils in their everyday lives and the cool part is the essential oils help you too.
