 Hi. Hey, it's Bridget. Hey, good morning. Hi, you guys. Wake up. It's Sunday morning. Oh, stretch with me. Oh, we're going to have some coffee. I made it in my hope mugs today. We need some hope. And don't we always need hope? We can always use it, right? I have a new tripod that I'm working with, so forgive me if it's a little shaky or wobbly. Let's make sure we update Facebook. Did you know that I have Facebook pages? I know you're watching here on Above Life channel on YouTube, but I do have a Bridget-inspired Facebook page and a Bridget-inspired Instagram page. I post on Instagram usually a lot. This last week I haven't been posting that much. I've been kind of taking it chill and relaxing a bit. But that's a good place. Bridget-inspired on Instagram and Bridget-inspired on Facebook to catch up with me. All right, so let's post this there in those places. We're going to do a Sunday morning coffee today live stream. You know, Sunday morning coffee is a podcast that I do. And I do it weekly on Sundays. And oftentimes it's an audio. Sometimes it's a video if I feel up to doing a video. Like today I just thought it just feels right to do a video this morning. And I thought it'd be a good idea to catch up with you all. I haven't, like I said, this last week I've not been posting that much. I've just not been posting very much. Let's just say that. Okay, I've been really bringing my energy inside and allowing myself to regenerate inside. And the beginning of the month of February is always really special for me. St. Bridget's Day is on February 1st. And I love that day energetically in bulk. It's just a great energy for me. And if you know my work, you know that I definitely feel kinship to Celtic energy vibration. And so that's pretty special for me. Plus my name is Bridget. So hey, you know, whatever, the God is okay. I'm good with that. Sorry, this is going to bother me here. Let's just fix this. Alright, so today's topic for Sunday morning coffee is going to be courage. And I actually have I'm trying to look around my desk. I have an oil that's called courage that I've been working with in a divine feminine group that I have right now. I actually have another session today with that group. And so I thought I am going to use this courage oil and have a conversation with you about the energetics of that. Okay, so let me just grab that here in just a minute. This courage oil that I'm talking about is from the Emerald Temple. Emerald Temple. Here you go. See that? It's red, nice rich chakra. It has kind of a burnt smell, a bit of a phoenix rising from the ashes kind of vibration to it. A little bit of cedar energetically is how it feels to me like wood, a little bit of wood. I'm just going to put it on my palms and the wrists and the hands here. This for me is just a beautiful. Oh, I see some of you popping in. Nice to see you. Good morning. Sunday morning coffee with Bridget. We're using courage oil to start off. Not because I particularly feel like I need a boost of courage necessarily, but I want to talk about courage in a gentle way. I do for sure. Oh, it kind of feels masculine. Have a smell of that. If you breathe in deeply and exhale out, bring that into the heart space. I think that the word courage words are very powerful and meaning I for me, they carry such a vibration and a resonance that really builds a relationship between the mind, our intellect, our human mind, the computer like brain that we have and our hearts. It allows for this connection between the mind and the heart and it builds this bridge or a walk walk way that can bring in the metaphysical and the energetics to our human life experience. We can permeate with our essence just like sense does into the mind that which is spiritual. And I think we need that. We need that divine connection between our minds and our spirits. And I think our heart space is really the key to that, to navigating, negotiating, to understanding our sacred selves and to allow ourselves to build a trusting relationship with our minds because sometimes the mind seems like a bully. It seems like it can be too in your face and too judgmental and it holds so many voices from our past and it can be very confusing as to whose voice is whose and what information I'm getting from where and it can be so confusing in the mind. So with this word courage today, I'm not inviting you to take a stand or to be like a powerful warrior, like a Joan of Arc and charge into the future, yielding your sword. This is not about battle, courage is needed. Yes, for warriors, yes, who are entering into great battles, but the greatest battle we have right now is within ourselves. Even though externally and interpersonally, there's so many charge triggers happening everywhere and short circuits all over the place with your own value systems and beliefs and it's showing up in your workplace and your romantic partnerships in your family relations, in your communities, in the organizations that you belong to, maybe in your church and it seems so confusing and chaotic. So we're going to use the energy of courage, that word courage, and we're going to bring it in in a compassionate, nurturing, divine, feminine, Mother Mary, Lady Quan Yin sort of way, a purvati way, a sweet, honorable, strong, compassionate way so that our hearts individually inside can feel the structure of courage as a supportive platform and foundation, not as something you're lacking so it has to come in and save the day and rescue you. You got to be brave, you got to be strong, you got to be courageous, you can be courageous in loving of yourself and not accepting less than for yourself and the way that you receive words such as courage gives you an indicator of how an indicator of how you are navigating through life and how you are perceiving life in general because when I first thought of courage I was scared to death to do this courage stuff when I stepped into this divine feminine group. I was afraid to use this oil courage because I thought oh my god is I'm going to be asked to do something, I'm going to be asked to step into something or do something or become a bigger part of myself and I am just not ready for that because there's enough going on out here and enough it feels that is vulnerable inside. Do you feel that too? The energy of courage assumes sometimes the way it comes at us that we don't have something or we're missing or lacking something that we need and clearly it's a character flaw of mine that cannot just be or changed or made better by me or anybody else because I'm just clearly not that. It reminds me of you know the cowardly lion right just want to have courage just want to have courage so afraid of everything or the opposite of fear is love so courage must be the embodiment in part wrapped in love that must be true and perhaps if we can allow ourselves to feel into the energy of courage the beautiful red energy of courage which connects us and grounds us to the earth which is a representation of your human life now and the manifestations that you are making your life looks this way not because other people are doing things to you but because you are showing up in such a way in which you may not be standing upon your platform of courage that is in your heart space because if you are connected to courage in your heart space beautiful and path that you are you cannot be let down there is not disappointment here at the base of your heart there is courage which is a renewable well of energy that reminds you of the beauty of the strength that you are because of your giving heart because of the way that you give to others and now the courage peace invites you to receive the energy not external this is not external this is not external the receiving is inside you it is inside you encourage asks you to believe that can you can you believe that that which is needed is already inside you you don't have to explain yourself to anyone you don't owe anyone anything this is not about debt or credit this is not even about a value exchange it's about an honoring of what is truly you at this moment in time oh sure you've made mistakes or sure you have regrets hello yes do you think you could do better of course you do and all of that encompassed with a compassionate energy in your heart space to create opportunities for you and maybe courage the energy of courage today is just about allowing yourself to accept and receive the love that is inside you already that you so readily give to others you've heard this before and empathic conversations and highly sensitive people conversations and psychic conversations with other life coaches and priestesses and healers and energy practitioners you've heard this before you deserve the love that you give but it must be acknowledged inside this heart space and I'm asking you to have the courage to feel that for yourself to feel that love and if love is a big ask for you just feel compassion like I said lady quanyin compassion energy mother mary compassion energy tervati sweet mother compassion energy nurturing and loving you holding you as a precious child like a mother holds a baby hold your heart space knowing that you're vulnerable but that you also have courage to support you while you are loving of yourself because other people will not understand the ways in which you need to love yourself and neither do you at this point I don't fully understand what it means to love myself I am on a journey to understand my body as an oracle I am on a journey myself this year to allow myself give myself permission to use that courage to expand and experience life in sensory ways that I maybe haven't before encourage is a useful tool for that it's not this big monumental action it's not a leadership everybody look at me follow me energy it can be that yes but in this state in place it is this sweet softening of the understanding of all the energies that impact us and that flow inside us and that includes the masculine and the feminine the courage to embrace the masculine to trust yourself to not feel like you're too powerful or too dominant and the masculine can be hard especially depending upon the body that you're in now and likewise the divine feminine is it warrior like the Shakti the Kalimahs yes and and is it pervati gaya lady cornion is both as are you both all masculine and feminine have the courage to bring these energies into play allow them to meet and greet in the heart space interact and connect to bring forward a deeper understanding of compassion and courage and how compassion and courage work together and maybe the divine masculine is the is the compassionate and maybe the divine feminine is the courage to receive and be received and be known not external internally inside you maybe that's what courage is truly nice breath in beautiful exhale out the heart this is Bridget thanks for being here on Sunday morning coffee with Bridget today you can find my
