Musings on Sanctuary and Spirituality with Helen Joy Butler

In this episode we tie a beautiful bow around the Musings on Sanctuary and Spirituality podcast and I share with you the new one moving forward - Trust and Transform: the Your Inner Room podcast with Helen Joy Butler.

Musings on Sanctuary and Spirituality with Helen Joy Butler is a weekly podcast where we talk about Sanctuary, Spirituality, and everything in between!

On her own Sanctuary journey Helen discovered that by bringing calm, connection and kindness into all aspects of her life she was able to open the channel to her spiritual gifts and abilities as a psychic, intuitive and energy healer.

With her gentle approach, Helen shares practical and spiritual ways you can make real change in your life and return to your true Spiritual nature, all through the concept of Sanctuary.

Episode Notes

Many years ago four Sanctuary tenets landed. These tenets 'sit' at the top of The Sanctuary Pyramid and are there to guide us on our journey. Earlier this year however a fifth - and perhaps final! - tenet landed, and as soon as it did I felt such a deep truth and connection to it I felt that the puzzle was complete (for now!).

In this episode of Musings on Sanctuary and Spirituality I share

• The four original Sanctuary tenets - Sanctuary is Sacred; Sanctuary is Deep Self Awareness; Sanctuary is You at Your Core, and at the Core of Everything You Do; and Sanctuary is Your Unique Connection with the Universe - and what they actually mean
• The fifth (and final?) Sanctuary tenet - Sanctuary is Your Soul Vibration Made Manifest - and what that actually means
• The concept of a Passion Board, a practical and fun way to connect with this fifth tenet so that it makes sense for you
• That I'm taking a Sanctuary Siesta and an extended pause from all things in my business, and what that looks like for you

• When is / what's the tipping point? How do we recognise it?

2. Taking the leap

• How do we heed the nudge or call to create Sanctuary?
• How do we make the leap / connection to what we're doing in our home / body / life, to create Sanctuary fully in our lives?

3. I’m there - now what?

• Once we create Sanctuary are we done?
• How do we evolve with the cyclical nature of the Sanctuary process?

Episode Notes

With all the transformation and renovation programs on TV, in magazines and books you may feel that the end result equals Sanctuary.

But what if I told you there’s was so much more to it than that?

And that it’s your job to discover your personal essence and that of your home so that you can create a Sanctuary to support, nourish, nurture and transform your life and that of the people you live with?

Don’t worry, it’s not as hard as you think - and it can be super fun!

In this episode of Musings on Sanctuary and Spirituality I share three things Sanctuary isn’t as well what you need to do to discover your personal essence and that of your home.

Episode Notes

Transforming your life into one of Sanctuary isn’t just about making the external look pretty - that’s a pretty small (yet important!) part of the whole process!

A BIG part of the process involves your energy body - the one you drag around with you each and every day, that carries you through your day. If it’s not sorted from a Sanctuary perspective, nothing else will be.

So

• What do I mean by ‘curating your energy’?
• Why should you bother curating your own energy? and
• How can you go about it so you can reach your ‘nirvana of Sanctuary’? (always an ongoing process BTW!)

I answer these three questions in this episode of Musings on Sanctuary and Spirituality plus share three ways to curate your energy in a way that’s aligned to your truth - not mine or anyone else’s.

Episode Notes

Now we're officially on our way with 2021, have you taken a few moments to think about what you want from this year?

Yes that can mean a new house, or a new love, or a new life!

But what I'm talking about here is energetic.

What do you want to look back on once the year comes to an end and feel / sense / understand at your core and within your soul?

In this episode of Musings on Sanctuary and Spirituality - which is Part 2 of this concept (link to Part 1 is below) - we talk about

• Why it's a great idea for you to move from a Word For The Year to this
• The steps I took - and that you can take too! - to create transformation, to come into closer alignment with what you want and deserve this year (or any really!)
• Why you need to take the reigns and not leave things to chance (aka you're in charge of your energy and how you show up)
• The words that guided me to my 2021 intention
• The question that will keep me on track with that intention
• The mantras that will guide me even further

Episode Notes

For the past six years (and probably more!) I've been implementing an approach in my life and business to help me move gracefully through the year.

In 2018 I threw out what I'd been doing prior to then that simply didn't work for me, and brought in a new way of approaching my life.

An approach that brought me closer to my truth AND helped me move gracefully through my year in a much more soulful way than I had been doing (aka following the "latest and greatest idea that everyone else was doing").

Episode Notes

What is home really? And how can we create a connected society through Sanctuary?

Just two *little* things we chat about today in this episode!

If nothing else, 2020’s taught us about Home - where it is, how it feels, what we want / need from it.

On top of that we’ve all had to rethink what connection means to us on a very deep level.

In this episode we talk about

• What Home really means
• How our perspective of Home changes the more we step onto our Sanctuary and Spiritual path
• The Sanctuary Pyramid, and how simple yet complex it is (and how I’ll share more with you about it in 2021!)
• Three shamanic questions to ask yourself to help create more connection in your home, body and life
• How those three questions relate to your energy body
• Two deep questions to ask yourself, to help you create even more connection
• My Sanctuary Siesta and what that means for the Musings on Sanctuary and Spirituality podcast

Wishing you a beautiful rest of 2020. I really look forward to continuing the Sanctuary and Spirituality conversation with you next year.

Episode Notes

“Hi Helen. I know we did talk about it a bit in our 8 week sessions, but having just had my flooring done (we still have two rooms to go), we have basically taken everything out of the rooms and are now putting things back. My question is what are some ways of creating new energy in the rooms as I really want to create a fresh start.”

This is the question I answer in today’s Ask Helen.

Episode Notes

October was my solar return month - aka I turned 50! 

Like many people I saw 50 as a significant birthday, but at the same time I was excited! There's been so much change, growth, life lessons throughout my 40s (and to be honest, well before then as well!) that part of me was relieved, excited, joyous to move into this brand new decade. I mean turning 50 in 2020 - in what I feel will be forever known as a pivotal year for all of us - can only be an eye opening experience right??!

• The two astrology readings I had the week of my birthday, and some of the learnings from them
• What Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz had to do with it
• What happened when I was 38/39 that really pushed me onto this Sanctuary path
• What Sanctuary and 'home' inside me looks and feels like
• How creating Sanctuary in my Self and my Soul - two important parts of The Sanctuary Pyramid (stay tuned for more on it soon!) - has created Sanctuary on a much broader level than I ever planned or expected
• How you don't need to be a celebrity or have a huge audience to affect change through your Sanctuary practices
• My big learning as I move through this significant Solar Return

Episode Notes

Can Sanctuary and daily (routine) stress coexist?

Absolutely! 

It’s how we go about the routine, and the Sanctuary we decide we need in and amongst it, that makes all the difference.

So how can we juggle all those balls, get to those appointments, manage our household / work / clients / life and get to the end of the day feeling whole?

In this episode we talk about

• Creating Sanctuary in your life, and how it’s much harder to do than creating Sanctuary in your home and / or body (see episodes 4, 5 and 6 for more)
• What a morning of stress looked like for me recently
• What I could have done in and amongst the stress - and what I actually did
• How I handed the whole morning over to the Universe - and what happened in turn
• How I felt letting go of the reigns (aka trusting and surrendering instead of controlling the outcome)
• What it felt like to focus on one thing and the difference it made to the flow of my day
