Inner Bonding
In this episode I share the 6 steps of "Inner Bonding" as inspired by the work of Margaret Paul, PhD.

Inner Bonding has personally helped me immensely in a very practical way along my healing and self-love journey in cultivating a feeling of wholeness and inner connection to divine love.

Cultivating Wholeness
In today’s podcast episode, I share personal insights on the practice of cultivating wholeness.
While we are all already whole individuals, we live in a world where it is easy to forget our own autonomy and inner wholeness.
My personal definition of wholeness is fully owning and acknowledging all parts of ourselves – the “positive” emotions as well as the more challenging ones; the “positive” attributes within ourselves as well as our perceived flaws.
As we learn to try softer in life – softening into our breathe, into the present moment (without needing to know how perceived “problems” will be solved immediately or what the outcomes will be in our lives), we can open ourselves up to fully enjoying the grand adventure of it all.
As you listen along to the episode, here are a few personal mantras you can take with you, if you they serve you:
I am resilient
I am discerning
I am radiant and whole
Sending all my love your way!
XO,
Nicole

Welcome to the Live Consciously podcast!
Welcome to Live Consciously with Nicole. I’m Nicole Wensel, an actress, writer, film director, and founder of Conscious Cinema Co. I’m also a survivor. I wanted to create a space to share how I was able to pull myself out of the dark night of the soul that I experienced after certain traumatic life events. The most powerful lesson I learned was that prioritizing self-care and living each day in a conscious way were the keys to taking back my power and have also allowed me to make the impact that I want to make. I’ve developed a passion for helping other survivors to win and come out on top. If that’s you, I’m committed to helping you not allow those painful experiences to hold you back from living out your wildest dreams. And if you have been maybe feeling held back by those painful events, I want to let you know that that was something I went through and that it’s not too late for you, you can start where you are today, your timing is perfect and divine, and I have your back. My hope is that by sharing what has worked for me and what’s working for me now, it might help you on your path to find inspiration, healing, and empowerment in your own life. And this is also just a space for anyone who wants to jump on the self-love, mindfulness, and conscious business and lifestyle train, and that includes me sharing insights about conscious film production and consumption. I can’t wait to share more on the first episode, hope to connect with you again there!
XO,
Nicole
