It’s a game of connection, of transformation, it’s the game of engaging your body, mind and spirit. It’s the game of life and I am your personal coach, Zoey Ryan.
Join us monthly for commentary, tips, activities, quotes and homeplay exercises all designed to re-connect you with your place of power, your wisdom, your essence, or, in other words “go inrageous†so that you may then go positively outrageously into the world.
With the game, I acknowledge and draw on the work of a variety of authors and visionairies including Catherine Ingram, Byron Katie, Joan Boryshenko, Eckhart Tolle, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Esther and Jerry Hicks, Jack Kornfield, Christiane Northrup and Carolyn Myss.
The work of these authors has informed my coaching and inspired me for years. Visit the book club in the tea room to purchase your own copy of some of these books.
Many women, and I include myself in this, want to do good things in the world and help people. It is my observation that often women try to “save the world†without first “saving themselvesâ€. They are off volunteering and helping, supporting and giving while internally they are feeling disconnected, perhaps ungrounded and uncentered and lack clarity about their own lives. Their personal relationships are falling apart and they are unhappy. Their “good works†may be a distraction from the reality of their lives. Again, I can include myself in this!
It is my opinion, that the most important “work†a woman can do is to know herself well, develop a strong foundation of inner resources and care for herself well. It is from this place of wholeness and balance that we can go outward into our relationships and life. This game has been developed to support you in developing a strong foundation, to be grounded, centered, whole and balanced.
The Rules of the Game:
1. Keep the words self-care, nourishment and inspiration top of mind.
2. Play the game with a spirit of lightness.
3. Use heart language. So, as you listen to the podcast, sink into your heart centre, feel your heart softening, opening and melting. Listen with your heart.
4. Be “body centered”. Through out the month, bring awareness to your body and engage in some form of yoga or body centered practice.
5. Start each day with a short remembering of the good work you are doing.
6. Live in the present moment!
Each month, the podcast will be based on a theme and will include quotes, in-rageous activities, outrageous activities, visualizations and affirmations.
A Great Quote
Vicki Noble says in her book “Shakti Woman†…What does seem necessary is for each of us women to pull her focus back inside herself and to begin actively and intelligently to create the world we want. This may sound abstract, simple, and impossible at the same time since it seems so easy to focus on oneself and so impossible to change the world. But neither is true. For a woman actively to re-possess herself and to center there is a monumental talk, taking years of difficult, painstaking work. This is the work I am calling female shamanism, a gradual mastery of oneself, and a healing or recovery from the chronic dis-ease of our time. Once a woman has done the work of remembering herself, she is much more able to change the world effectively.â€
