I dropped some bombs last week. Hybrid race of humans, corrupted bloodlines, Aliens.  When you start to look at all that's wrong with our world, you need a commission--what do I do with this information and why am I here?  Everything is about the BLOOD. The DNA, the genome.  And you have two inheritances inside of your blood.  The human body is the most advanced technology in our galaxy, which is why there's such a calculated effort to take the GOD out of our DNA, our very genetic structure.  But no matter what's in your bloodline, no matter what genetics you came into the world with, you can learn to activate the divine birthright you've been given and physically change your genetic structure, as epigetics is showing us how environment and belief turns genes on and off.  But there's even more inside of our bodies, created to be the physical house of God on planet earth.  This may be one of the most important podcasts I've ever recorded, because we all need to know why we're here and what our role in as the programming comes in from all sides to densify our DNA and genome with corruption.  But it can be cleansed and it already has.  And we need to learn how to do it, which we'll start on that road today.  Share with your friends!  WE NEED THIS INFORMATION OUT THERE!  (www.christagifford.com @womanscircle @christablackgifford)

We all know the 3d physical world because It's where we put most of our attention.  But how do we transcend the 4th dimentional mind and emotional programming of advertixing, collective consciousness, old wounds and indoctrination?  By accessing the 5th dimention of the heart, the Spirit.  I talk about dimensions but realized many don't understand them, so in today's podcast, we'll walk through the 1st-5th dimensions and look at how we can unlock our human/divine potential by rising above the collective pollution by accessing the love of the heart, being led by Spirit, hearing the whispers, and getting clear on the truth that sets us free.  www.christagifford.com (@christablackgifford @womanscircle

Most people ask this question in their lifetime, 'Why am I here?' 'What is my purpose?' 'What am I put on the earth to be and do?  As so many have deconstructed out of religious institutions that gave us a life-purpose, many have thrown the baby out with the bathwater.  I've been guilty of abandoning my Divine purpose on this earth while unwinding from the toxic indoctrination of a system that was infiltrated with commerce, control, and greed.  But when we live without purpose bigger than ourselves, abandoning our greater purpose of why we're put on the earth, life loses its luster.  Today we're going to embrace why we're here, owning our significance on the planet at this crossroads in history, reigniting hope, devotion, and the discipline of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit to REMEMBER who we are and unlock our light body, letting it shine for all to see, dispelling the darkness.  www.christagifford.com (@christablackgifford @womanscircle)

As someone on a lifelong journey of personal healing, helping thousands around the world heal from past traumas and pains, I've been mostly silent on the cultural systems of corruption that keep contributing to our bondange. But can we really be free when we're unwilling to look at the systems of corruption that contribute to the deterioration of our health, the greed and commerce that poisons our earth for convenience, and the leaders who put infrastructure into place that leads to the oppession of humanity?  Most people say they want to be conscious, but they really don't.  Because when you're conscious about the things in your life and the systems you benefit from that are hurting others, you're now responsibile.  But as I'm learning deeply from Spirit--we cannot fully be free until mankind is free, which means we have to open our eyes to the problems in our world and how we unconsciously contrubute to them.  This one might be a hard pill to swallow, but it's time for us to wake up and see the truth.  Not so we can actively get angry and perpetuate the division in our society, but so we can become the solution for the world's problems because we do it from a heart of love.  (@christablackgifford @womanscircle)

If you've ever had the thought, "It would be easier if I wasn't here?" or "I just want to die, it's too painful," you're not alone.  I've had these thoughts many times in my life and they're valid when life feels like there are too many mountains to climb.  When Twitch took his life last month, it got me thinking a lot about suicide and the collective overwhelm that gets a person to the point where they want to end their life, because I've known this voice many times. But what if that voice is telling the truth, that it wouldn't be easier to die physically, but it is time to put to death limiting beliefs? It is time to put to death old relationships, bitterness and unworthiness, hatred and fear? In this podcast, we work with the aspect of death and learn what to do with it when these voices come, because they're there for a reason.  Let's begin to use death as a powerful part of our existence and use it to our benefit to bring us into new life.  www.christagifford.com (@christablackgifford @womanscircle)

The facts are in, and they're staggering.  Mainstream media isn't broadcasting the narrative, but the level of young people dying suddenly cannot be ignored.  I don't have any interest in becoming a voice that only talks about what is wrong or points fingers in blame, but I can offer actual solutions that change everything. I have family members who have developed cancer, friends whose healthy husbands have dropped dead in their sleep or pregnant friends who have miscarried children.  I have loved ones having strokes and developing myocarditis, reaching out to me because they're scared.  What is true cannot be avoided, but the TRUTH offers solutions and ANYTHING is possible if you just believe.  If you took the shot & hearing stories that scare you, if you haven't wanted to look at the facts because it means you might have to face unpleasant information, this podcast is the perfect bridge to be INFORMED but not left with your FEAR.  Information about what's wrong only breeds more fear, but I'm going to offer actual solutions--that the Spirit living in you partnered with your belief can reverse and create ANYTHING.  There is hope, there is healing.  (Podcast mentioned: Aubrey Marcus "Cause Unknown") @christablackgifford @womanscircle

We all have good intentions to change, but good intentions aren't enough. We have to have vision, we have to have a plan, and we have to build a desire to take action that's bigger than our current complacency.  At the end of 2022, I'm inviting you into my end of the year process, looking at WHO we are and are we living as that person, WHAT happened to block us from being who we are meant to be, WHY we are the way that we are, WHERE we are today and WHERE we're going, and then, HOW do we make a plan of action to make choices that empower our vision.  If you'd like to join me on this FREE 5-day launchpad into a new year, you can reserve your spot here: https://www.christagifford.com/offers/zCdCPErJ/checkout (@christablackgifford @womanscircle)

Dec 12, 2022

I was never taught to work with my anger.  I saw it as bad, something I got punished for, or something that separated me from others.  But what if anger is a tool given to us in our humanity to alert us to injustices that need to be changed?  What if anger, when used correctly, can be righteous anger that isn't just aimed AT someone (separation), but angry FOR someone that calls everyone up into their highest good?  We need anger, and if we never learn to work with it. we spiritually bypass it, we stuff it down, we spew it out to cause more division and not lasting change. But in today's podcast, you will learn WHY you have anger, WHAT it's for, and HOW to use this powerful tool to not only change your world--but change the world.  www.christagifford.com (@christablackgifford @womanscircle)

Okay, y'all.  I got a spiritual booty slap this week, lovingly repremanding me to put on my big-girl panties and GROW UP in certain areas of my life.  We're all being called to uplevel in the area of our weaknesses, but in order to that, we have to let our faces be shoved into our weaknesses, FACE the music of the things that aren't serving us, getting a plan to do something about it, and disciplining ourselves to carry out the change.  We usually wait for crisis to have to deal with our shortcomings, but I'm on waiting on it anymore.  I'm looking at my holes NOW and getting a plan to do something to change it. Are you ready to put your adult pants on and evolve where you're weak?  www.christagifford.com @christablackgifford @womanscircle

Our fear of humiliation is real, and for most of us, it's kept us very small. We're afraid of being humiliated so we don't speak up. We're afraid of being humiliated so we don't try new things or talk ourselves out of Spirit nudging us in a certain direction.  What if we fail? What if we're embarrassed?  The fear of humiliation can be so strong, before we know it we never try something new. It feels safer to stay SMALL and in a cage than step out in faith and face our fear of failure.  How can we alechmize this fear? How can we look at it and begin to disempower it where it's not running our behaviors, relationships, and dreams?  Find out in today's podcast.  www.christagifford.com (@womanscircle @christablackgifford)

All Hallows Eve. For most of my life I had no idea about the history of this global holiday, why we dressed up, why kids trick-or-treated. If we look at the history of the changing of the season, where we move from light into darkness, summer into winter, life into death, we discover a portal where the veil between the spirit world and the physical world gets very thin. So how do we work with this season as Light beings, connected to Spirit? What is our role & do we blindly play along or do we consciously contribute something good inside of evil?  Tomorrow night is my free webinar 'I Want My Power Back' & there are limited spots.

We clean our bodies, brush our teeth, feed ourselves and work out. But our spiritual anatomy is more complex than our physical anatomy, and most people neglect it on a daily basis.  If I don't practice good spiritual hygeine, my physical world is in trouble--or at least, not a pleasant experience. We wait to feel thankful WHEN the healing comes or WHEN the promotion happens. But spiritual hygeine means we practice the substance of truth every day, before the external world gives us a reason to feel that way.  This is one of the most important things we can learn as divine beings having a human experience and has completely changed my life.  Ready to prioritize your spiritual hygeine?  (@womanscircle, @christablackgifford, @iamlukegifford)

I've felt stuck for a while. Do I just allow the circumstances of my life to happen, ending my internal suffering when I learn to surrender, or do I move into the power I possess to create something new and manifest dreams into reality?  Is it the chicken or the egg? Is it one or the other, or could it be a dance between the two? In today's podcast we explore this dance of surrendering to what IS...ending our resistance to our current reality...and THEN from that surrender, believe for something new. In this 'name it claim it' culture, the manifestation craze that's swept the world, I believe that many times we manifest FROM our discontentment in the moment, instead of our surrender.  But on the spiritual path, it takes both surrender to the divine plan AND stepping into faith to create something new.  Are you ready to dance?  (@womanscircle, @christablackgifford, @iamlukegifford)

We're in a massive global upgrade, a divine reset, a world-wide reboot. And right now, a lot of our white boards are being erased as our new operating systems for life are being uploaded into our bodies. When this happens, the body goes through some energetic changes like 1) energy drainage, 2) feelings of confusion or anxiety, 3) the release of big emotions.  But what if nothing is wrong? What if there's a huge plan for the world that includes YOU shifting certain things about your life to get you on the right path to fulfill your divine destiny?  Today we talk about this global upgrade, the death that it's inviting us into, how it shows up in the body, and the spiritual tools we can begin to cultivate to not only weather the upgrade, but find contentment inside the waiting room.  (@womanscircle, @christablackgifford, @iamlukegifford)

Our recent culture has been obsessed with self-love, including me over the years. But something never set right with me about this self-love, separation language.  "I love myself."  Who is the "I" and who is the "self" when I AM Love?  That language still denotes separation and is a false reality.  I don't love myself...I AM. I AM LOVE. Love in my truest state and nothing has ever been separated from this love. Only the mind can separate us from love, never the heart.  So do I need self-love OR...as the Sufi mystics tell us, along with countless Judeo-Christian and Buddist teachings...learn to BECOME Love that wipes away the illusion of separation? These are deep, mystical concepts that, if embraced, contemplated, and meditatated on, can set us all free.  (@womanscircle, (@christablackgifford @iamlukegifford)

These past two weeks have been intense. I've been invited into the reality of my inherited defintion of 'being enough,' and to be honest, I've discovered that I'm never enough based upon my definition of success and failure. So what does it mean to FEEL like you're enough in every moment? And how do we change the program? In today's podcast, we'll get to the core identiy of 'not enough' and begin to learn tools to uplug from that narrative, embracing who we are in the moment and acknowleding the resentment that comes when we don't.  I don't want to just know I'm enough as a mental contruct, I want to feel it in every part of my being.  It's our birthright, and we can get there.

For most of my life, I punished myself severely on a daily basis. Criticizing, judging, shaming, berating myself for the mistakes I made, consciously & unconsciously. This culture of punishment isn't something I wanted--it was something I had INHERITED. And I didn't have to recielve that inheritance anymore, retraining my mind, my heart, my body to have grace for myself when I made mistakes, when I looked in the mirror, when I hurt those I loved. In this episode we will learn where our inherited culture of punishment came from, how to unplug from it, and receive our spiritual inheritance of forgiveness & grace where we experience it on a daily basis.  (Follow @womanscircle for upcoming practices on this teaching!)

We've all encountered trauma in this world. But when our traumas, both big and small, are pushed aside, ignored, or attended to, our bodies can hold on for dear life.

In this episode, Luke speaks to men (and any woman interested in a man's journey) unpacking his pursuit of identity and his lifelong obsession with something he didn’t have: a clear sense of who he was. He uses his journey from insecurity to a grounded identity to show a listener the first thing you can do to gain clarity on who you are how to hack your doubts, fears, insecurities and anxieties in order to plant the new truths of who you are inside your nervous system. It's a must listen for any modern man (and their partners)!
