Women’s Health, Healing & Empowerment:
The 3V Connection – Voice, V@gina, Vagus Nerve, and Cyclical Wisdom

With Francie La Flow & Sofia Arauja

Embodied Wholeness, Reclaiming Feminine Leadership and Healing

 

In a world that’s often focused on masculine energy and hustle, many of us are starting to feel the need to reconnect with our natural, feminine rhythms. Recently, Francie La Flow and Sofia Arauja from Swara Yoga School had an inspiring conversation all about women’s health, the power of honoring our cycles, and a fascinating connection between our Voice, Vagus Nerve, and V@gina. Here’s a little peek into their super insightful chat!

Reclaiming Our Natural Rhythms

Francie kicked things off by sharing how life-changing it was for her to understand the Four Seasons of the Menstrual Cycle. “It instantly changed my life,” she said, explaining how syncing her life with her own cycle allowed her to feel more aligned and joyful.

 

Sofia jumped in, talking about how society often runs on male-centered rhythms, leaving many women out of sync with themselves. She emphasized how important it is for women to have spaces where they can tune into their feminine energies and live without guilt or shame—so needed right now!

Voice & Womb: A Deep Connection

One of the coolest things about the upcoming training is how it looks at the deep link between our voice and our womb. Francie explained how these two areas are actually mirrors of each other—both are powerful centers of expression in the body. She introduced the “3V Connection”—Voice, Vagus Nerve, and V@gina—and how toning the vagus nerve can help us relax, release stress, and even heal. Pretty amazing, right?

Vocal Activation: Finding Joy Through Your Voice

Francie also talked about the healing power of using your voice, sharing how singing and vocal activation can help release emotional energy and bring more joy into your life. “Through the darkness is how we get to the light,” she said, encouraging women to use their voices to feel more connected and empowered.

Creating Spaces for Healing

Sofia painted a beautiful picture of what you can expect from their upcoming training in Spain—a safe, supportive environment where you can tune into your body, balance your hormones, and find your natural rhythm. She shared how these practices can be applied to everyday life, whether it’s integrating them into your community or being more trauma-informed as a facilitator.

The Andalusian Farm Experience

The training takes place at a stunning eco-farm in Andalusia, Spain, where you’ll be surrounded by nature, tranquility, and the magic of community. Sofia called it her “little European version” of India’s Himalayas—a peaceful space perfect for meditation, healing, and connecting to your true self.

Join Us for a Journey of Empowerment

Francie and Sofia are both so passionate about gathering women together in circles of trust, healing, and empowerment. Whether it’s through shared practices or just being in community with other women, this training is all about rediscovering your wholeness and stepping into your power.

Get Clear with Be.Do.Have

An Uncomplicated Way to Gain Clarity and Achieve your Goals

The Be Do Have model is one of my favorite rituals for programming my inner GPS with where I want to go, and what changes I want to integrate in my life.  

 

It’s a widely used coaching tool that I came across in the Conversations with God books once upon a dream.

 

I find this model to be very helpful in getting you feeling more clear in any area of your life.  Once you get clear, it becomes easier to establish – who do I need to be in order to get these goals accomplished.

 

The key is to keep it simple, avoid overthinking, just write down as honestly as you can the top 3-5 things that come to your mind for each category.  This is for you to save to your desktop and refer back to through the year, to add to, like a compass guiding your way home….

 

 

Be – Create a way of being that’s aligned to your visions and Goals

This section is who you are aspiring to become, who you are cultivating being, how you’d like to behave.

Write at least 3  “I am” statements.  E.g. I am Abundant, I am totally perfect and whole as I am.  I am generous, I am clear, I am in flow

…..or whatever resonates for you

 

Do – How your way of being propels you into action

This section is what you’d like to make happen,  to accomplish, to experience

 

Have – the results of your action will bring you to this goal

This is what you’d like to achieve

 

Once you get clear, it becomes easier to establish – Who do I need to be in order to get these goals accomplished?

 

The key is to keep it simple! Avoid overthinking,

 

Just write down as honestly as you can, in the present tense the top 3-5 things that come to your mind for each category.

 

This is for you to save to your desktop and refer back to through the year, to add to, like a compass guiding your way home….

Finding Authenticity and Healing through Sister Singing Circles

Finding Authenticity and Healing through Sister Singing Circles

The Power of Women Coming Together: Embracing Authenticity and Healing through Sister Singing Circles

by  Francie La Flow

The Power of Women Coming Together: Embracing Authenticity and Healing through Sister Singing Circles
 

I first discovered the transformative power of sister singing circles during my time in Bali, where the serene beauty of the island matched the profound connections I made with other women. It was here that I met the incredible Lindsey Wise, who introduced me to these sacred gatherings. What started as simple singing sessions quickly became so much more—spaces where women could come together to share not only their voices but their stories, emotions, and deepest selves.

Each time I returned to Bali, these circles felt like coming home. We would gather, new and old sisters alike, and enter a timeless flow of repetition and harmony, emotions rising and falling like the ocean waves surrounding us. Week after week, I watched as women began to feel more comfortable, more authentic, and more connected. There was a palpable sense of joy and freedom as we let go of judgment and embraced the present moment. New voices would rise, and together, we would create a fresh wind of inspiration, love, and connection.

One of my favorite quotes from Gabor Maté is, “Safety is not the absence of threat but the presence of connection.” This sentiment beautifully captures the essence of our sister singing circles. These gatherings became a haven where we could truly be seen and heard, where we felt safe to express ourselves just as we are. It’s in these spaces that the magic happens—where authenticity, healing, and connection flourish.

The Magic of Sister Singing Circles

The true essence of a sister singing circle lies in its ability to create a supportive environment where women come together to explore their voices and share their stories. These gatherings transcend mere singing; they become sanctuaries where vulnerability meets acceptance, and where every voice is valued. It’s about stepping into our fullest selves, supported by a community that celebrates healing, authenticity, and growth.

As we sing together, we return to something ancient and sacred—a way to feel more alive and connected, both to ourselves and to the women around us. In these circles, everyone’s voice is honored, and we all experience the magic of sound as a pathway to wholeness and joy.

Over the years, I’ve learned so much from leading these circles. Here are some of the most powerful lessons and insights I’ve gained:

  1. Take Up Space
    One of the most profound lessons from sister singing circles is the importance of taking up space. This isn’t just about singing louder; it’s about embracing the physicality of sound and allowing ourselves to be fully present. By opening our mouths wide, dropping our jaws, and giving ourselves permission to be heard, we not only enhance our vocal expression but also carve out space for ourselves in the world. This practice aligns us with our spiritual essence, allowing our authentic selves to resonate a nd shine brightly.
  2. Embrace Vulnerability
    Allowing ourselves to be seen is an act of profound vulnerability. Our emotions are intricately connected to our voices, and sharing them can be daunting. The fear of judgment, especially self-judgment, often holds us back. Yet, it is through this vulnerability that we find connection and healing. Singing in front of others becomes a journey of overcoming internal barriers and embracing our true selves, leading to deeper connections and profound healing.
  3. Cultivate a Growth Mindset
    Singing, like any practice, requires persistence and a positive mindset. Recognizing that it’s okay to feel emotional during the process opens the door to growth. As we practice, we improve our vocal control, discover the joy of singing, and channel our creative energy more effectively. This journey of growth is transformational, helping us unlock our full potential and supporting our spiritual evolution.
  4. Rise in Resonance
    The synergy that emerges when we gather in singing circles is powerful. Witnessing others step out of their comfort zones and embrace their own vulnerability inspires us to do the same. This shared experience fosters a sense of unity and collective growth, enhancing both our individual and group development. The resonance of our voices coming together creates a powerful, healing vibration that deepens our connections and amplifies our collective energy.
  5. Let Your Heart Shine!
    Singing transcends the physical act of producing sound; it is about connecting with the energy of the heart. To sing beautifully and openly, we must engage our entire being—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. By connecting with our hearts through song, we tap into our inner truth and express our authentic selves more fully.
  6. Give Yourself Permission
    One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is the need to give ourselves permission—permission to take up space, to be vulnerable, to grow, and to connect with our hearts. So often, we hold back because we don’t feel we’re allowed to fully express ourselves. In sister singing circles, we practice giving ourselves that permission, and in doing so, we unlock new levels of freedom and joy.

How to Start Your Own Singing Circle
Starting a singing circle is a wonderful way to create a space for connection and healing. Here are some steps to help you begin:

  • Create a Welcoming Space: Choose a comfortable, quiet location where participants can gather and feel at ease. Ensure the space allows for both sitting and standing, as well as room for movement if needed.
  • Set Clear Intentions: Define the purpose of your singing circle. Whether it’s for personal growth, community connection, or creative expression, having a clear intention helps guide the experience.
  • Gather Your Community: Invite friends, family, or colleagues who are interested in exploring vocal expression. Emphasize that the circle is a space for everyone to be themselves without judgment.
  • Prepare Your Practice: Plan a simple structure for your gathering, including warm-ups, singing exercises, and sharing time. Incorporate elements of spirituality, such as guided meditations or affirmations, to deepen the experience.
  • Foster an Open Environment: Encourage participants to express themselves freely and authentically. Create a supportive atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable sharing their voices and stories.
  • Embrace Flexibility: Allow the circle to evolve naturally. Each gathering may have its own rhythm and flow, and that’s part of the magic.

How to Balance your Throat Chakra

How to Balance your Throat Chakra

 Throat Chakra Activation Kit:

How to Balance your Voice

*Communication * Self-Worth * Creativity* Expression * Empowerment * Trust*

 

 

Part 1. Understand the basic Psychology of the Throat Chakra

What is the Throat / Vishuddha Chakra?

Visha = impurity, poison Shuddhi = purification

The Throat Chakra, or Vishuddhi Chakra is located at the larynx, in the upper 3 chakras, and is considered the center of physical and spiritual purification.

Considered the “soul’s gate”, as the throat is a bridge connecting the emotions of the heart and the thoughts of the head,

Our throat chakra is our center of communication, creativity, will, speech, self-expression. deep listening.

It represents our ability to speak our truth, to speak up for ourselves, to say what’s truly important.

The throat chakra is a powerful energy center that allows or blocks the flow of prana – life force energy – throughout our entire energy system.  

When the Throat Chakra is balanced and healthy, prana flows and you feel energized and bright. When this chakra is stressed.or out of balance, you can feel drained and stressed.

As the center of will power, creativity, self-expression and communication, the throat chakras governs how we bring what we experience on the inside into the outer world:  how open and vibrant this chakra is, impacts how how we give voice to the self, to our emotions, and how we allow or prevent creative ideas, energies, visions and dreams to flow and manifest.

The Throat Chakra feels most open, when our hearts are relaxed and we are in a full state of allowing ourselves to Be. When we restrict, control or hold back any parts of ourselves, we compromised the throat chakra’s balance.

When the throat chakra is out of balance, it can manifest as emotional dysregulation, addiction, self-doubt, judgment gossip, negative speech, self-censoring  – all of which are acts of control that shut down the throat. 

 

Core wounds at the level of the throat chakra, can manifest as

  • Feeling of not trusting in what you believe
  • Not trusting that you deserve to be heard
  • Shutting down and not getting your needs met,
  • Feeling of continued disappointments and dissatisfaction in life

 

How do you know if your chakras are open or blocked?

When your chakras are balanced and healthy, life experiences are digested with ease and enable you to grow. 

However, chronic and unresolved conflict, stress, negative self-beliefs systems, traumatic past life experiences that are left unprocessed or unexpressed, undigested can lead to any given given chakra being imbalanced, blocked, damaged or dysfunctional – expressing as either  overactive or understactive, and leading to significant physical, emotiona, and mental health challenges.

Trauma, unresolved conflicts, karmic and past life circumstances, belief systems and/or chronic behavioral patterns cause imbalances, blockages, and/or damage in the chakras.

 

When our throat chakra is open and balanced, it can be expressed as:

  • Sense of feeling worthy
  • Healthy self-confidence / self-acceptance
  • Authenticity
  • Ability to express our truths
  • Ability to listen to our inner voice
  • Ideas, hopes and dreams are flowing
  • Verbalising and expressing needs, desires and opinions

 

When the throat chakra is closed, or out of balance, it can be expressed as:

  • Trauma and unresolved conflict
  • Excessive talking
  • Arrogance
  • Habitual dishonesty / manipulation
  • Controlling behaviour
  • Timidity
  • Hurtful, mean or gossiping words
  • Addiction
  • Judgement of self and others
  • Blocked creative flow
  •  

Throat Chakra Imbalance in the Body

In our body, the throat chakra most influences the neck, shoulders and upper back. Deficiencies in the throat chakra can lead to:

  • thyroid imbalance
  • hearing problems
  • ear infection
  • chronic throat conditions
  • neck and shoulder pain,

 

Part 2. How to balance and heal the throat chakra

Your voice is a powerful tool for impact and change, for sharing your inner world with the people around you.

Self-Care, Hydration & Spacious living Singing, Humming & Chanting, Allow yourself to share your thoughts and ideas

Begin with this 20-minute warm-up to begin your journey towards more relaxation and flow with your voice:

Get Clear for the New Year with Be.Do.Have

Get Clear for the New Year with Be.Do.Have

Get Clear with Be.Do.Have

An Uncomplicated Way to Gain Clarity and Achieve your Goals

The Be Do Have model is one of my favorite rituals for programming my inner GPS with where I want to go, and what changes I want to integrate in my life.  

 

It’s a widely used coaching tool, that I came across in the Conversations with God books once upon a dream.  

 

I find this model to be very helpful in getting you feeling more clear in any area of your life.  Once you get clear, it becomes easier to establish – who do I need to be in order to get these goals accomplished.

 

The key is to keep it simple, avoid overthinking, just write down as honestly as you can the top 3-5 things that come to your mind for each category.  This is for you to save to your desktop and refer back to through the year, to add to, like a compass guiding your way home….

 

 

Be – Create a way of being that’s aligned to your visions and Goals

This section is who you are aspiring to become, who you are cultivating being, how you’d like to behave.

Write at least 3  “I am” statements.  E.g. I am Abundant, I am totally perfect and whole as I am.  I am generous, I am clear, I am in flow

…..or whatever resonates for you

 

 

Do – How your way of being propels you into action

This section is what you’d like to make happen,  to accomplish, to experience

 

 

Have – the results of your action will bring you to this goal

This is what you’d like to achieve

 

Once you get clear, it becomes easier to establish – Who do I need to be in order to get these goals accomplished?

 

The key is to keep it simple! Avoid overthinking,

 

Just write down as honestly as you can, in the present tense the top 3-5 things that come to your mind for each category.

 

This is for you to save to your desktop and refer back to through the year, to add to, like a compass guiding your way home….

How to Cultivate Abundance in your Mind, Heart & Life through Yoga

How to Cultivate Abundance in your Mind, Heart & Life through Yoga

 

 

Cultivate Abundance with Yoga & Meditation

 

“Abundance is about being rich, with or without money.”– Suze Orman

 

 

What does “abundance” mean to you?

 

Abundance can relate to material possessions, such as having lots of money, comfort, wealth – and it can also relate to a mindset and heart-set of gratitude, freedom and enoughness. 💰💜🙏

Abundance means “overflowing” – in other words, having more than enough. It’s a knowing, a feeling and a trust in the fullness and beauty of life within and around us. 🎉

It’s opposite is a feeling of contraction, scarcity and fear.

Truth is, having all our material comforts and possessions in the world will not inevitably lead to happiness and fulfilment.

Instead, Abundance comes from acknowledging the great gifts that we all have within us and all around us. 🎁

When we feel abundant – with love, connection, support, inspiration, nature, beauty… only then can we feel truly happy and free! 🙌

 

So how can we cultivate more of an abundance mindset & heartset?

 

The simplest path to feeling abundance is to practice daily gratitude and appreciation for life in its fullness as it is, and also practice trust in the process and great mystery of life.

 

Take a few moments to consider and/or journal about your relationship to abundance, both in the material and financial sense, and also in the spiritual and heart-based sense:  

 

💕Where in your life do you feel abundant?

💕Where in your life do you desire to feel more abundant

💕What are you grateful for today?

💕Where do you lack trust in life?

💕What are some ways that you practice trusting more in life, in yourself, in the ever-unfolding mystery of life?

 

 

Let’s Practice: Laksmi Meditation with Abhaya / Fearlessness Mudra

 

Lakshmi is a goddess from the Hindu tradition who represents, wealth, love, beauty, grace, and lovely things. She is the goddess of abundance and is happy to be generous with us especially if we treat the earth and all of her splendours with tenderness and respect, and that we notice and delight in the wonder around us, the people we love, and that we listen to and honour the longings of our souls.

 

For this meditation, we emulate the mudra – energetic gesture that the image of Laksmi is expressing through her two front hands to help us cultivate a sense of abundance,

 

  • Sit in a meditation pose with your spine nice and long.

 

  • Raise your right hand shoulder height, palm facing outwards, fingers extended pointing upward, in a gesture of opening and receptivity. The wrist is bent at a right angle with the forearm. The left hand is hip height, palm facing downward in a gesture of giving and letting go.

 

  • Take some deep breaths to allow the flow of prana – life force energy – to fill you up with courage and peace.

 

  • Relax and make yourself comfortable.

 

  • As you inhale feel yourself receiving abundance in your life through your right hand, and as you exhale, feel yourself giving it all way.

 

Hold this position for 5-10 mins everyday, or as long as you can, and then release gently.

🤔 Notice how you feel:

Are you more calm and relaxed?
Do your emotions feel settled?
Do you feel more abundant
Do you feel more fearless?

“When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.”- Tony Robbins

 

“When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”- Lao Tzu
