The Secret to Unlocking Your Feminine Leadership Potential

Have you ever wondered what sets successful, happy, and fulfilled individuals apart from those who struggle? For Leadership Mentor Layla El Khadri, it all comes down to understanding and harnessing human potential.

Growing up in a conscious home in Spain, Layla was surrounded by a family deeply committed to spiritual growth and self-expression. Despite the early encouragement of her family and teachers who recognized her immense potential, Layla found herself feeling lost, anxious, and trapped in a reality that seemed smaller than what she knew she was capable of.

Determined to unlock her own potential and live the life she dreamed of, Layla embarked on a journey around the world to study and master a wide range of tools and techniques that would help her achieve that goal. From Tantra and Yoga to Somatic Dance, Layla found ways to reconnect the mind, body, and soul, bringing back a sense of alignment and self-confidence she had never had before.

One of the most important lessons Layla learned on her journey was the power of feminine energy in the workplace. She discovered that by harnessing the creationary power of a woman's menstrual cycle, she was able to optimize her productivity and build a more balanced and integrated future for herself.

But Layla's journey didn't stop there. In India, she learned to meditate and renounce, finding inner silence and dealing with cravings, desires, and ambitions to purify her inner guidance and find her Dharma. In Thailand, she discovered the hidden power of Sacred Sexuality, activating a whole new layer of her human potential and awakening her heart and consciousness to the power of love and the chemistry of sexuality. Her passion for Taoist Philosophy took her to immerse herself in Traditional Chinese Medicine and different kinds of Meditation and Practices to enhance longevity, magnetism, creativity, and brainpower.

Through years of study and experimentation, Layla has become deeply knowledgeable in the powerful link between thoughts and reality, the mind and the body. She continues to seek out new ways to live a fulfilling, healthy, radiant, and all-around EPIC life, and now shares her wisdom and guidance with others looking to do the same.

If you're interested in learning more about Layla's journey and the secrets to unlocking your own feminine leadership potential, be sure to listen to her podcast episode with Christina. And for those looking to dive deeper, Layla recommends the book "Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization" by Dave Logan.

In conclusion, our potential is something we all can work on, and the different ways of working on it can have different results, understanding the importance of feminine leadership, can be a new insight for many of us, to tap into a new way of achieving greatness, as well as understanding the power of menstruation cycle as a tool for productivity can be a game-changer for many women. With Layla El Khadri's journey and guidance, one can make a change in their life and start living the life one always envisioned.

Listen to Your Heart. Message from Zach Bush, MD

Not feeling seen, not feeling heard, not feeling loved, and not knowing how to love ourselves has led to the greatest propensity for heart disease.

For the amount of intelligence the heart enables, it’s no surprise how much of our emotional processing happens there too. Yet far too often, our emotions manifest as imbalance, our loss of self identity becomes acute, and heart disease occurs. Collectively, we are suffering from a massive global heartbreak.

In last week’s powerful and personal webinar, I debated out loud: Why am I so afraid to be me? Why do so many of us feel this way right now?

It’s easy to feel as if courage and peace are far out of reach, but they’re at the tips of our fingers. By shifting our energetic, emotional, and spiritual awareness of who we are, we can resolve our chronic fight or flight state and move toward a space of courage and acceptance. Humanity has such potential for life and health, but we can only reach it by letting go of fear — whether that’s fear of the nature that allowed life to occur, or fear of being in our own skin.

By being curious and opening ourselves up to this possibility, we can put an end to the deep levels of heartbreak and dysfunction within our population. We can fall back in love with ourselves, opening our hearts to see that there is so much love, so much beauty, and so much intelligence flowing within us and between us all.

As you begin watching and rewatching this webinar, know that you are not alone in your journey toward self love and empowerment. With nearly 25,000 sign ups for The Heart webinar (our highest to date), I hope you feel the energy of this community and those around you who are equally seeking discussion on this important topic.

Our Favorite Proposal

On April 13, 2013 Justin Baldoni proposed to his girlfriend Emily at the restaurant where they had our first date. He told her he was running late, had the restaurant opened just for her, and set up hidden cameras all around her. When she sat down at the table, there was a TV in front of her set to take her on a journey that would lead to the proposal of a lifetime. This is what happened...

Give up the need to know why things happen as they do.

Start being spiritual irrational.

Irrational.

Instead of staying tell me why this happened, remind yourself that you’re a gain of sand in a huge ocean and just say, ‘help me learn from this.’

Connect with meaning and purpose.

Don’t expect meaning and purpose to be delivered to your door, because it doesn’t happen that way.

You bring meaning and purpose to everything.

Every word is power. Words are power.

Watch how you frame your Universe.

And don’t pray like an ordinary immortal.

Prayers are not meant to be petitions like you’re talking to Santa Claus. Can I have more stuff?

Don’t pray like a stufflogist.

Pray like you have respect for the sacred.

And you pray with your soul.

‘Open me up.’

‘Open me up.’

Take me down deep.

And show me the reasons you gave me this life.

Watch this Episode of Initiation

As we continue our journey through the nine dimensions, we come to a realm where our understanding of the difference between good and evil dissolves. Matias De Stefano introduces us to the sixth dimension, a place where our perceptions of the contrast of polarities become illusions. It is here where we find architects of reality who know how to build entire universes, as they are free from the limits of time and space. Some of these beings may be seen as evil to us, as they make use of distortions to create turmoil and unrest. But they are following the laws of reality, as these discomforts are intended to promote our evolution into higher states of being.

🎶Listen and Sing! Christina's favorite song, "Gajumaru" by Yaima

Song along -
Creating concrete visions of a macroscopic prism
With a brilliant optimism and appropriate ambition
To be open from the center, redirected to the moment
This is it love, this is it love, unrestrainable nature

We can change it from the edges, we can challenge all our borders
There is always a new leader, there is always a new order
Our pathway is proceeding and the way is always changing
We are free from what prevents us to realize our destination

Oh...

Free from all old stories I've been told
I walk through the valley of my own shadow
Free from all old stories I've been told
I walk through the valley of my own shadow

Awareness is my virtue, and I'm grateful for the search to
Dive deep within my own mind and to trust the intuition
Of the lives I've lived before this, our essential form of gnosis
It's a simple form of freedom; it's as smooth as inhalation

Oh the exhale is releasing all the tension I've been feeling
On the surface and beneath me, I'm connecting to my spirit
And I'm here now right before you; I am present in this moment
And my life's work is to honor the great beauty all around you

Oh...

Free from all old stories I've been told
I walk through the valley of my own shadow
Free from all old stories I've been told
I walk through the valley of my own shadow

Creating concrete visions of a macrocosmic prism
With a brilliant optimism and appropriate ambition
To be open from the center, redirected to the moment
This is it love, this is it love, unrestrainable nature

This is it love, this is it love, this is it love, this is it love

Tribal Markers, Drum Circles, and Veganism, Oh My!

In February 2020, we haven’t held back—we’ve offered multiple experiences that weave themes of LOVE. Celebrating love has been incredible. And. At Deepen we feel it’s equally important to acknowledge another important February theme of celebration: Black History Month.  

Pictured, clockwise from top left: West African tribal markings, plant-based diet, Nigerian music and dance ceremonies, traditional African drum circle.

To celebrate, we’re kicking things off by turning our attention to the elements that influence the Deepen community, and the conscious movement at large. Let’s look deeply into these experiential element’s that are rooted in Black history:

Tribal Markers: Originating from tribes throughout Africa, these markers indicate various meanings including spiritual and physical beautifying purposes. Tribal markings distinguished between the royal and the free born. For the Igbo women of West Africa, applying tribal markings protect their children from evil spirits. Yes, they look dope AF; and, traditionally, these markings carried with them significant meanings to the tribes from which they came.

Drum Circles: Though the oldest known drum dates back to 5500 B.C China, it is widely understood that the greatest explosion of drum knowledge and drum rhythms originate from Africa. The main idea of a drum circle is that anyone is free to join and express himself or herself in any way that positively contributes to the music and the community. All are welcome, rhythm is LIFE!

Music & Dance: Dance, music, and storytelling are among the ancient art forms that have flourished for many centuries in Africa. Ancient African society did not separate every day activities from their music and other cultural experiences. Sunrise dance parties and midnight sets? These existed long before Burning Man.

Plant-based Diets: This fancy jargon surrounding the current foodie movement makes it seem as if current trends such as Veganism and Paleo-diets are new discoveries. In fact, pre-colonial Africans relied predominantly on plant-based diets. Centuries later, European colonialists introduced capitalistic farming methods and large-scale domestication of animals. These commercial consumption practices resulted in more meat-centric diets. Pass the green juice!

At Deepen we pause to honor the life-giving practices black culture has shared with the collective. Let us continue to find the beauty in diversity, the strength in unity, and peace in our shared visions for what is possible. In the words of renowned human rights activist Desmond Tutu, “My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.”

The Power of Showing Up

Bridget Wilkinson discusses the health epidemic of chronic loneliness and how we can each be a solution to this challenge. While the UK is addressing the epidemic with a Minister of Loneliness and a federal Campaign to End Loneliness, we – as individuals in community – have the responsibility to create meaningful connections with each other.

#ConnectionChallenge: Why Deepen

What did scientists discover when they data-mined a national study of millions of people over many years to find early predictors of violence, suicide, self-arm and overdose risk? This is a discovery so powerful and unexpected that it can change the face of our nation - and heal the shooting, suicide and overdose epidemic our country is faced with.
