What is Sacred Self-Leadership?

Adora Winquist March 24, 2024

What comes to mind when you hear the term “sacred self-leadership”? Often, we consider leadership as a structured term along a scale of authority. It may be a top-ranking general for military operations or the boardroom hierarchy of business organizations like Oprah Winfrey. There are also leaders like Tony Robbins that are inspirational in nature offering innovative ways of thinking, behaving and reaching …

Welcome 2024, the year of the Dragon and the number 8, tapping into the infinite potential of your passion and sacred purpose. My motto for this year (and life) is Carpe Diem.

Abundance: Expanding Your Receivership

Adora Winquist October 18, 2023

From a seasonal perspective, Fall is a time of harvest. We reap the great bounty of our gardens of plenty: Both physically for those of us that cultivate home gardens as well as metaphorically. As we reflect on the latter and focus inward, we can see how our intentional seeds of creation have grown to bear the fruits of our creativity, love, and vitality. Are you inspired by what is flourishing in your life right now?

Practicing Gratitude for Deeper Connection

Adora Winquist March 10, 2023

As we continue to explore Sacred Relationships, I want to focus for a moment on the importance of gratitude. It’s a big one in relationships of all kinds, not just with your partner. When examining our life experiences and Early Childhood Treasure Map, we often find ourselves patterned to think the glass is half full, to dwell in places of negativity.

Neroli to Awaken the Mystical Heart

Adora Winquist March 3, 2023

Neroli’s bright aroma lifts the spirit and speaks to the remembrance of joy and lightheartedness. Neroli is highly beneficial for those who tend to be harsh and critical of themselves and can assist in shifting this energy to that of self-love and compassion. This oil assists in dissolving extreme emotions like jealousy, anger, and self-hatred. It aids in settling shock and counterbalancing PTSD.

Forgiveness in Sacred Relationships

Adora Winquist February 28, 2023

In all relationships, our thoughts and language significantly affect how we feel about our significant other. Forgiveness is both a practice of mind and body, which allows us to create greater harmony in times of friction. When we look more closely at our sacred relationship, we start to see some breakdowns in intimacy, connection, and communication.

How to Maintain Sacred Relationships

Adora Winquist January 3, 2023

After spending time with family, friends, or enjoying peaceful solitude over the holidays, it's an inspiring time to reflect on relationships. Sacred relationships. Also, because I’m leading a retreat in late January, I’m spending the next few weeks writing and reflecting on the value each person plays in a relationship. Today, I want to focus on sacred relationships and partnerships. To me, that means unity for longevity.

5 Tips to Optimize Neuroplasticity

Adora Winquist December 8, 2022

Since the early explorations of phrenology, we have collectively sought to understand and improve brain function, particularly during the process of aging. Neuroplasticity explores the changes in the function and structure of the brain in relation to experience. Sometimes referred to as rewiring or repatterning, modern day research on neuroplasticity indicates a far greater potential for new neural connections and networks as well as improved learning, memory, and mood regulation.

The Pen of Liberation

Adora Winquist November 18, 2022

Once I've shifted my perspective, I know I can have a different response. I know I can have a different reaction—my reaction to all of the world of transformation. My reaction to the situation around me and how it has changed indicates my transformational journey. The more I become aware of my reaction and response, the more I can harness the power within me to modulate it in ways that honor and hold compassion, forgiveness, understanding, and love for every step along my journey.

Do you sense the greatness of who you are and the magnificence of who you are becoming? Or do you think and feel first of the great chaos in the world, in your life, or the great to-do list on your fridge or desk?

The Invitation for Co-Creation

Adora Winquist October 27, 2022

There have been many times over the course of my journey where if I’m being honest with myself, didn't really know what I wanted out of my experience in this life. I may have had a few goals or desires which would drive my daily actions, but looking at it from a big-picture perspective, my intentions for my own path of self-mastery were somewhat vague.

The Alchemy of Release

Adora Winquist October 14, 2022

I'll share this piece from my journey when I went down my rabbit hole, which was excruciating. It brought an old pattern of being attacked. What I forgot to see was that it was time for something new to be burned. I didn't know what it was in those moments, which was incredibly painful because it was like, Who am I? What is my identity? Why am I here? That's when I had to take the time to integrate the experience of release.
