I have an invitation for you…

It’s so intimate…like a whisper…or the scent of a rose…subtle yet powerful.

But first, I want you to ask yourself when was the last time you did something for someone THAT WASN’T RIGHT FOR YOU?

On some level you know you SACRIFICED yourself…

For women, this is almost second nature…we don’t even realize how much we do this, and O how it robs us of our JUICEY lifeforce!

When we have small children, it’s practically inevitable unless we have alot of support…the baby ‘s needs come first.

But early motherhood is not the only time in our lives we as women tend to put the needs of others BEFORE OUR OWN WELL-BEING.

I was recently reflecting on times in my life I literally GAVE MORE THAN I COULD AFFORD to help someone else, even at my own peril.

Suze Orman the money guru says:

“True Genorosity doesn’t hurt- real giving empowers both the receiver and the giver.”

There’s another beautiful quote I love that speaks to this:

GIVE FROM YOUR SAUCER, NOT FROM YOUR CUP

It sounds easy enough, but do you actually allow yourself to be FILLED UP TO OVERFLOWING so you can give from your overflow?

Or do you just keep the bare minimum in reserve and even dip into that whenever someone else needs something from you?

Do you feel GUILT, FEAR, SHAME about saying NO…?

You realise that saying no to someone else is really saying YES TO YOU…but are you able to do this without feeling bad, and in fact feeling more empowered?

My husband and I are both high-achievers and so naturally our boys are as well.

However, there is a SPECTACULAR difference in the FEELING TONE, the ENERGY of how our kids do what they do from how my husabnd and I find ourselves doing things often in the spirit of HAVE TO, WORRY, FEAR, OVERWHELM, etc

They laugh from morning to night, they move from an instinctive force within them that navigates their day based on what feels GOOD to them so they don’t feel RESENTFUL or OVERWHELMED regardless of CHORES or HOMEWORK or their PAPER ROUTE or PROJECTS or STUDYING or COMMUNITY SERVICE- they do it with FUN, LAUGHTER, and PLEASURE.

No depletion energy…It’s so INSPIRING to see others live this way!

They have no problem saying “No” or ‘That doesn’t work for me” or “I don’t want to” or ‘Yes, I want that’ etc. Their energy is current and clear.

Ahhh, the joy and freedom of childhood you might be thinking..! But this gorgeous permission to advocate for our own Truth, to have strong SELF-PRESERVATION doesn’t have to stop at 18 😉

Yet how often have we been afraid as women to VOICE OUR TRUTH about what we want or don’t want?

I am famous for OVER-GIVING, OVER-DOING…anyone relate? lol

And each time I honestly feel great about being able to give and it is with an open heart. But the Truth is, a part of me isn’t taking care of myself and is being overly responsible for others.

Ahhh, the dance of the Slavegirl and the Empress continues still!  I’m learning and evolving right along with you 😉

OVERgiving/OVERdoing doesn’t serve ANYONE…it sends out a message to the Universe of ‘I’m fine…I don’t need…I can function in deficit, no problem…nevermind me…etc’ and it is DISEMPOWERING to all concerned.

And then we wonder why we aren’t attracting MORE OF WHAT WE WANT! We could be allowing ourselves SO MUCH MORE…but we can only ever ATTRACT FROM THE LEVEL WE ARE.

DEPLETION and SACRIFICE only begets more of the same…I KNOW you have so much beauty and talent and rich gifts that you so want to share…buuut everyone loses out if you aren’t in alignment with your Truth.

So, my Invitation to you is to allow yourself to CHECK IN and give yourself permission to sensually feel into it before automatically saying yes or no this week.

Here are 7 Affirmations to assist you:

7 Sensual Vows to keep you connected to your Truth and in you flow as a woman

1. REFLECT- I check in with myself often connected to my Truth before saying Yes or No
2. RECONNECT- I ground in my body through Movement and Nature
3. RELEASE- I let go of what no longer serves me to make room for magic and miracles
4. RECEIVE- I receive before I give to keep my well filled to overflowing
5. RELAX- I embody my Essence with poise through Self Care and Self Trust
6. RENEW- I am committed to what nourishes my body and dreams
7. REVEL- I make my pleasure a priority and celebrate my love affair with life

When you are aligned and all your rivers are flowing you will feel relaxed, open, trusting, supported, radiant, healthy, beautiful, inspired, composed and clear.

From that place self-sacrifice just doesn’t feel good or natural anymore.

Choose ONE to focus on and write it down in your journal and reflect on how it could assist you to STOP SELF SACRIFICE by re-connecting to your deeper Truth.

with beauty,

ps One inspiring woman’s story:

Shakaya, Butterfly, I have been speechless since I have been back, so deep has the transformation been that I could not put it into words. The VIP day with you was a an absolute initiation, a rite of passage. I have transformed from ordinary living to exquisite, regal, sensual, radiant living.  I am a queen, a regal goddess, a creative butterfly. It started last winter as I watched your videos and wept.  There was something in my core that resonated with your message of exquisite self care and natural beauty. I am a very spiritual woman, a fiercely devoted mother but as I was watched the videos I was exhausted from adrenal fatigue, my digestion shot, and my moods all over the place.  Self beauty, self appreciation was the furthest thing from my consciousness. Somehow that didn’t fit in with being spiritual or being a mom. Something clicked that moment as I realized that exquisite self care and natural beauty were indeed sacred spiritual practices. I was magnetized by Shakaya’s beauty.  Her unique, glorious essence expressed to the fullest extend, was an illumination of the divine!  Just as a glorious sunset is. On some level I realized that the embodiment and expression of my unique beauty and the practice of ESC is an  acknowledgement to the Creator and a prayer of thanksgiving for the glorious vessel that I have been given.  This vessel is so perfectly and intricately designed for my unique mission on this planet. I made a decision to somehow embody this but the path wasn’t clear.  6-8 months later I am reading about VIP days and I am ready so I think…  There is a mixture of whim and deep wisdom that leads me to fill out the inquiry form.  I want so badly to follow the force of nature leading me to this glorious destination. Somehow I know that this is what I need to do and I will do whatever it takes emotionally, physically, and financially to make it happen.  I am going to invest to most important transformation of my life.  I am going to embody the glorious vessel.  I am going to radiate beauty, regality, sensuality and it will be my spiritual practice because I know it makes me feel so alive, so grateful, so connected to source. I drove 600 miles after a hurricane to see Shakaya.  My mind told me I was a crazy lady but my heart wisdom knew different.  Just being in her regal presence up leveled  my energy, my presence in deep and unspeakable ways. My drama, my plain jane mentality, my victim consciousness were literally dissolving right at her presence.  I had such a strong resolve and a deep commitment to change and this was met with her highest intention to be my guide. The work was deep and the initiation was completed with an ice cold dip in the nearby lake.  It was night time and dark and I felt like I was entering in the deep dark womb of the mother, the shakina, the all powerful One.  In this water I was cleansing my old stories and deeply receiving the new upgrades. I can say now that I feel like a earth empress priestess.  I am so grateful to have gone thru the glorious rites of passage.  I can own my divinity. Thank you Shakaya, goddess, sister priestess.  I am eternally grateful. Kristen

Beautiful,

I’m reaching out to connect with you…

You are not alone.

On this journey, we have each other.

One of the most powerful teachings I have learned is the power of

the Feminine…the power of Intention and Relationship.

We are women…we understand, embody and infuse relationship

and intention into EVERYTHING.

Men are in awe of this in us…

Let us harness this power CONSCIOUSLY.

We are all together on this beautiful journey…

I do not feel above or below…a circle has no ‘head of the table’.

I don’t teach my courses alone…I want you to meet each other’s beautiful Spirit.

For your privacy I share only your words not names;

hearing each other will assist you in hearing yourself…

The sharing is so rich and enhancing for us all:

My fun clothes for the call…

Flowing stretchy leopard print dress, in amber, rust, black and white, with a black lace underskirt
Russian hand beaded amber necklace, matching amber bracelet, matching amber earrings fit for a princess.

Greetings Earth Empress,

I’m elated right now! I just finished listening to the recording of LBD call 1. 

I have 10 pages of notes from this exquisite call.  

So here is my updated intention (from our private work) as I have revised it, inspired in part by the

love letter to myself call, and the little black makeover and of course, you:

As I heal deep wounds, gracefully

with self-awareness and compassion

for my authentic truth and beauty as a woman,

I allow myself to be open to receiving 

more joy, peace and love

in my heart and body than ever before

so that I can be grounded

in radiance, vitality and magnetism,

exuding self love

everywhere I go, 

with whatever I do,

and in all that I am.

This is all happening at a perfect time for me and I’m thrilled to be able to take

full advantage of the benefits I am receiving thus far.

Thank you so much for your loving guidance and direction. 

I can’t express my gratitude with words. 

Sending you much love 

*

Dear Shakaya, 

I just listened to the call, and I am so grateful to your message and to you radiating so bravely

this truth of woman to the world, in your own unique beauty, yet universally inspire the beauty

of every woman on earth, because that is the universal truth of being a woman.

I had been seeking in the last decade of my life, a message that could really inspire me 

deep inside to be the truth of my existence, a message that daily and hourly ignites my life,

I could not find it through east and west, through philosophy and religions,

I think I found it now…

The simplest, yet simply is IT! 

So thank YOU!

*

Dearest Regal Sistar Shakaya,

Wow, thank you so much for another TRULY INSPIRING call!… It truly was a “Love Letter” to myself

to listen to your beautiful voice as you expressed so much wisdom and passion about something

that is so important for us women.  

I LOVE what you said on the call about this new form of Beauty being AN EFFORTLESS FORM OF 


LEADERSHIIP! Wow, is that ever powerful and deliciously resonates with me!  I love to lead, teach,
inspire

and empower others by example – just by BEING ME… and BEING in a CAPTIVATING way.  :)


I desire to learn how to BALANCE all of me into one ELEGANT “package” (I’m a Sensual Goddess, a 


Passionate Priestess and a Playful Elemental!) and how to GRACEFULLY receive compliments.  

In 2012
I discovered that I am naturally magnetic to others and I desire to learn

how to handle that as an ART.


I actually have a fear of coming across as arrogant as opposed to confident, so I downplay a lot.


I LOVE seeing others LIGHT UP in my energy,

in my presence and I desire to harness this power with
greater

confidence so that EVERYWHERE I AM, I spread this unique “magic” I have (as some call it) to
benefit others –

whether people, animals, environments… 


I am turning 40 Earth years old on Thursday, March 14th!… although I feel “ageless” I do feel that this
is a

very special brand new decade I’m stepping into… looking back, I’m in awe… and I desire to make
this new

decade the most EXQUISITE one yet!!!  So how PERFECTLY TIMED your LBD Makeover is!!!    

I thank you from my heart for your generosity and for your gorgeous presence and wisdom Shakaya.  

I’m so grateful to have you guiding me on my personal journey of transformation!

I’ll never forget a story my Mom told me a while ago…  

When she was in her late teens her family moved to a new town and she had a new high school.  

She was taught by her own mother to dress with elegance, so her shoes and purse matched

in colour and this made her feel pretty.  

Well, it made her stand out in that new school and she received so many remarks from other

women that put her down (translated from French, it meant that

she thought she was better than everyone else and “playing the queen“).  

So she quickly learned to not stand out, and so taught her own daughters the same thing

to protect us from the pain she experienced.  

I recently donated most of my clothes (!) to match my iconic essence… a big example is trading in

t-shirts for goddess tops that make me feel Divine!!!  I couldn’t agree more with what you shared

on the call about really choosing every piece (clothing, accessory, essential oil, etc) with care,

from your essence.

After I cleared everything I created a vortex of possibility for the Universe to help me fill,

and I LOVE what I’m seeing!  Everything now going in my closet, jewellery drawer,

body care closet… is soooo yummy and ME!

Just SEEING those items now lights me up!  It’s truly amazing…

I’m committed to up-levelling all of me!   

I am overjoyed to see and feel a new wave of support and elevation amongst women!  

It’s really time for us to step into each our unique greatness, own it, and SHINE!!!  

And YOU, Shakaya, are at the forefront of that…  

By doing what we do, we give others permission to do the same.  THAT is priceless.

*

Thank you Shakaya for a wonderful class.

I discovered my three words are moon, exotic and sensual.

Moon…glowing, pearl white, aqua, iridescent, feminine, ivory, changeable, romantic,

influences all if they realize it or not, water, rotates, hides sometimes, breathtaking at her best,

at special times appears larger than life, tides, births babies, sensual, accentuates, stable but changing,

shines, happy, sometimes moody, exotic, sometimes round and sometimes thin, far away,

desired destination, few go there and those that do never forget.

Exotic…unusual, rare, foreign, far off lands, rich, handmade, intriguing and new sights sounds

and tastes, adorned, belly dance, jewel colors, sensual, real jewels and gold and silver, spices,

candlelight, salty seashores, mesmerizing music, silk, soft flowing fabrics, wrapped styles, tied

and adorned, eastern princesses, slinky, artistic, horses running free.

Sensual…breezy, magical, silk, colors of amber aqua purple orchid berry burnt orange saffron,

fabrics that stretch and move, smooth, slow massage, warm water, snow flakes, wrapped dresses

tied with silk cord, pearls against bare skin, jade, amber, seductive, languid, never hurried,

romantic, deep, the sound in seashells, warm moist earth, sex.

My INTENTION:

I am happy and grateful now that…I am healthy, flexible, smaller, well formed,

dressing in my fun sensual style, comfortable, relaxed and always exotic.

So that…I like myself.

So that I can go to the conference knowing I am strong, relaxed, confident and elegant

in my own fun sensual exotic way.

So that I can go to Maui feeling sexy, relaxed, playful, light, breezy, fun, romantic and exotic.

So that my husband might fall in love with me again.

So that I am stylish, comfortable and polished for work.

So that I can live closer to my fantasy life of travel, adventure, art and romance.

Hello Shakaya,

Meeting your soft snowfall with sweet sunshine here in the Southwest!

There were many nuggets of yumminess that I took in LBD call 1-

thank you for your beautiful words of connection to us all.

It feels so timely to experience your LBD program –

in concert with reawakening a gentle animal wildness within.

My intention is to lovingly connect with my feminine fingerprint through delicious

exploration from a deeper, embodied place  – and bring this outward into my relationship

with my sweetie – and into my business as a practicing artist and creative catalyst coach.

Thank you Earth Empress! Looking forward to your next call. 

*

Earth Empress Shakaya,

I had such a deep and exquisite journey listening to the replay of the first call today.

In preparation for the deep shifts I wanted to integrate while experiencing the call, I took a hot mustard bath and finished with a cold water rinse. Invigorating. As I was moisturizing this beautiful affirmation unfolded:

“I am sweet perfection in the package I am in. Lovingly nurturing myself and tending to my desires amplifies my radiant essence. I shine my beautiful light in the world.”

I signed up for the LBDM because I was delighted by your energy and presence when I listened to the Love Letter call. My desire is to be physically and emotionally transformed, to be in right relationship with myself and others. I have been a raw enthusiast for some time and hope the diet portion of the program will help me to find the right alignment of raw foods to optimize my nutrition and nourishment. Lastly, I’ve felt very called to coaching as a professional opportunity lately. I thought the LBDM was an ideal way to experience another wonderful coach’s approach to interacting with and serving women.

I had some wonderful insights into shaping my potential business during the heart exercise.

I was most moved by the portion of the call where I was able to stand up and move around as the embodiment of my higher self. This was amazing, breathtaking for me. I have had resistance to this type of exercise before especially when I have tried to do it with other people. However, alone in my living room I felt deeply connected and passionately entwined with her and we moved with ease and grace together.

My intention for the LBDM:

I am so happy and grateful that I am re-imagining myself as an adult woman – whole, ripe and feminine.

I am enjoying loving and nourishing my goddess body and presenting myself with regal ease.

I honor these transformations so that I can integrate all of myself into the present and experience fully my power and beauty.

Love, light, and an abundance of blessings,

Unconditional Flame (this is the vision that came to me for my higher self!)

Dear Shakaya,

I have never done this before and was captivated by the experience.

With a blue pen and let it slide over the paper – very lightly so and then it took on

a dynamic of its own and kept doodling and doodling. At first smaller and

continuously coming over similar lines, which made it look in the end as if

I had pressed onto the paper quite hard – but I haven’t. It kept going and

going. It felt like strings at first as if it was me being a harp… then it continued

and it had a shape like a peanut for me… I was standing the whole time

letting it flow and also sometimes closed my eyes. Then it changed directions

and made different doodles. It went over the few words that I had written

underneath (like power of gentleness. Royal Muse Shaman. Elevated,

eternal, ethereal, embodied.)

I kept doodling over it and seemed to circle

over and over around the word Shaman, which – together with the words

‘eternal, ethereal’ – and ‘power’ was the only word still clearly visible.

I was surprised to remember that I had somehow completely left out my

Shaman aspect of me while I was embodying my Royal Muse.

It’s not that the Royal Muse is ‘wrong’ – this was just an emphasis for

BALANCE. And the whole image seems to be like a womb containing

a mal figure holding a female figure – both holding between them the

creative divine child. It felt like the bigger figure is the Shaman holding

the Royal Muse, both holding the diving Creative Child… forever unborn

yet forever released. And all of it together seems like a pulsating heart.

Next to it some flower. I know there’s more to it all, but these are the first

impressions that came to me, and still come, while looking at it all. If you

see more, I would love to hear it.

I am so happy and grateful now that…

I am honoring my feminine body and ethereal sensual beauty.

I am connecting with my deepest passion to enjoy this world.

I am being adored and cherished and cell-ebrated as a celebrity

with every one respecting my natural boundaries and only the one

who is anointed and appointed by me can touch it lovingly and

carefully like a very precious delicate orchid.

… so that …

I am received/perceived as magnificent, magical, and moving wherever

I am.

I am treated like a royal honor guest by all who are around me.

I treat myself like royalty.

I am loved. The more I step into my beauty, the more I am loved for it!

Other women are being inspired by it – not jealous (or if they are, then

it does not affect me in the slightest).

I am connecting with my magic man/Beloved/Union partner (all in ONE)

and he adores and admires and appreciates and highly values and

supports and nurtures all of me as his dream-come-true woman.

I magnetize my tribe, my financial and other income of pure prosperity

and beauty and high value with ease and playfulness.

WHEN I PLAY – I GET PAID HANDSOMELY!!!

Dear Shakaya,

You are touching our female souls in a way that I did not suspected seing your iconic presentations.

Girl, you go deep. Many thanks for impulsing me to be again in contact with my light and darkness,

my passion and my vitality.

I have being always Transparent.

And many times, people kept my sharings, and freeze my image,

holding in their minds my no blissful aspects, and declaring themselves free of human issues.

It is not easy for me to share in English.

So, I decided to shut up.

Lastly, you are showing again the path of uncondicional

self acceptance, and for me, latin mature woman, this is a spiritual rest, a big release and the

feeling of being again, with women living authentically, the whole that they are.

Thank you for moving my soul and emotions. You are a surprising jewelry box!

*

Don’t you love how the last share shows so clearly how our ESSENCE shines through

regardless of even language ‘barriers’.

We are so powerful without trying to be powerful,

so gorgeous without trying to be gorgeous,

so wise without any effort to be wise,

inspired,

magnetic,

vibrant,

WHOLE,

when we allow ourselves to know, trust and love who we really are.

People are so thirsty for this.

So hungry to learn who they really are, to discover and embody that.

You are on the path!

Continue to tap into the ocean of love and beauty and power that is your essence.

Continue to notice what lights you up, what shuts you down.

Enjoy your beautiful discoveries this week and I’ll be in touch again soon.

with beauty,
