Autumn’s Harvest – how to nourish the landscape of your life, and reap the rewards of your own loving work

The Sweet Spot – the primal importance of sweetness in our lives

Exploring the power of sweetness – from the primal roots with our mother’s milk, to the ways in which we crave sweetness when life might begin to feel that bit more bitter. In this episode, wellbeing author Emine Rushton, explores why sweetness remains a powerful, primal craving for so many of us, and explores how lack of kindness – most crucially to ourselves – might manifest in ever-more powerful cravings. Nourishment – of the spirit, the heart, the mind, the body – are far more complex than the nutritional profile of our food, and often, with life’s busy-ness and demands, we can lose sight of this. A provocative episode that asks intuitive questions about why we crave what we do, and how to feel into their root meaning. 

Bliss and Blessing, over blindly doing – how to find your way back to you, by defining your non-negotiables

Sometimes we are forced to make space in our lives because we could not sustain the lives we lived before. But sometimes, we make space, unsure of where to go next – trusting that once the space is made, the right thing will come into its place. In this intuitive & personal episode, wellbeing author, Eminé Rushton, reflects on her own choices & decisions, and where they have led her – and also asks us all to consider the reasons for the decisions we make – and whether or not we make them because we are too scared to maintain space, silence & stillness in our lives. 

Getting clear on our non-negotiables – the bedrock of good health, clear thinking and heart-led living – are at the crux of how we move forward, and how we begin to make better decisions.

The Clearing – How to FEEL your way into a more natural, more gentle, and more aligned way of living

Wellbeing author, earth mama & nature lover, Eminé Rushton, awoke in spring of this year, with six words in her mind: “We’ll meet you at The Clearing.” 

She wasn’t sure what they meant, or why they had come to her. In this episode, Eminé explores the importance of giving ourselves the space to reflect, clear and ultimately FEEL our way around our lives – without fearing that we have to rigidly plan every small thing in order to be successful. She also talks very candidly about her own creative process – with its own shortcomings and pitfalls – which led her & Paul to create The Clearing – a brand new ‘year-long nature lesson’, and member’s community, within This Conscious Life. 

In this episode she explores the importance of trusting our intuition – and, crucially, allowing ourselves enough space to allow that intuition to flourish. She also offers insight into what The Clearing will share, month by month, and the ethos it upholds, for all of its members.

Autumn’s Harvest – how to nourish the landscape of your life, and reap the rewards of your own loving work

What does Autumn signify? A time of shedding and lightening – a time when we can leave behind the burdens of things that are no longer helpful, and when we can get a true, honest insight into who we are, beneath it all. In this episode, Ayurvedic consultant and wellbeing author, Eminé Rushton, guides us through Autumn’s unique energy, with holistic advice to guide us on our way. Filled with soulful reflections on the significance of this time of year – to help you with your own reflections and inner questions – and practical advice to bolster our health, immunity and spirtual wellbeing, this is a lyrical guide to the season ahead. 

Eminé shares a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, called Autumn Days, at the end of this episode:

After the summer's yield, Lord, it is time

to let your shadow lengthen on the sundials

and in the pastures let the rough winds fly.

As for the final fruits, coax them to roundness.

Direct on them two days of warmer light

to hale them golden toward their term, and harry

the last few drops of sweetness through the wine.

Whoever's homeless now, will build no shelter;

who lives alone will live indefinitely so,

waking up to read a little, draft long letters,   

and, along the city's avenues,

fitfully wander, when the wild leaves loosen.

Unconditional Living – the importance of doing what feels right, in a world that feels wrong

Co-founder of This Conscious Life, and co-author of SATTVA: The Ayurvedic Way to Live Well, Eminé Rushton considers the biggest lesson she’s learned from her youngest daughter – in embodying all that you are, freely and lovingly, without condition. In this episode, Eminé explores what a life with less fear, and more love, feels like – and how we can build a better future for ourselves, by removing our choices from expectation-rooted ego, and focusing on unconditional & good intentions instead. 

Part of the poem, Ulysses, by Alfred Lord Tennyson, is shared at the end – food for the spirit, to remind us, it’s never too late to seek a newer world.
