Wish Tree - Emily Johnsson

2020 – what did you learn?

03.01.2021

For the past 6 years, I’ve reflected on the same set of reflective questions and invited the Wish Tree community to do the same. It’s a beautiful ritual, and I invite you to join in! The turn of a year is a time for introspection, for closure and for a new start – a time of significant energetic shifts. ????????

⭐️Whatever we have survived, celebrated, or struggled with in 2020, let’s acknowledge it, take what we need from those experiences and then let them go.
If we want to enter 2021 with the freshness and curiosity that will allow us to be present with whatever it may bring us, spending a little time reflecting on and releasing the old year behind us can be both cathartic and rewarding.

9 Attributes of a Conscious Leader in times of change

28.03.2020

Our world is calling out for conscious leaders right now. And I believe you are one of them.
Conscious Leadership, first and foremost, means self-leadership. It means having the courage to self-reflect so that we can come to grow, every step of the way. It means becoming the change we wish to see in the world around us. We cannot lead others unless we are willing to lead ourselves first.

How to support a friend dealing with involuntary childlessness

31.03.2019

As a society we don’t often speak openly of the emotional, mental and physical impacts on infertility and involuntary childlessness on individuals, couples and families. So today, I’m inviting us to break the silence and own our stories so that we can unite as one sisterhood this Mother’s Day.

Let the Loving Disruptor in you unleash your Light

23.08.2018

Our Big Visions need us to hold them and to be the very love that they are here to manifest. Our Big Visions are love in action. If we are engaging in fear-based patterns of behaviour we will not create our business from love but from fear. If you have been feeling sucked into old negative patterns of behaviour lately you are not alone. Let’s tune in to the Loving Disruptor in us, who is fiercely committed to unleashing your Light, and call fear out.

The Arctic Tern & powerful intentions for the new moon

13.08.2018

So the New Moon in Leo on Saturday invited us to tap into our Lion’s heart and look honestly at how we’ve been going about our business. Literally!

How to find our true purpose

11.08.2018

As a mentor to heart-led entrepreneurs, I often get asked the question: how can I know what my purpose is? Having a sense of purpose and knowing what our true purpose is is not the same thing. I know. Until I came to understand that I was worthy of an abundant life being me, I ploughed my energy into causes that sought to justify my existence through worthy causes. Knowing our purpose is all about seeing ourselves and loving what we see.

Light Unleashed: The Wish Tree Academy is 2!

02.08.2018

It’s hard for me to take in, but this month, The Wish Tree Academy turns 2. It’s been 2 of the most incredible, life-changing years of my life. From a tribe of zero, we are now thousands. From a community of nil, we are now hundreds of Lightworkers, Coaches, Wellbeing facilitators, Artists, Activists, Healers of all kinds. When we let ourselves out of the prison of fear, the fear that comes from our past, we can finally be fully present. And THAT’S when the magic happens. It’s only when we are present in the now that we can align with Love, Source Energy and be the vessel we have said YES to being in the world. That’s what I did when I said yes to my heart-led business, and that is what I want for you too.

Are you serving from an overflowing cup?

26.07.2018

I often speak to wellbeing facilitators who are exhausted, don’t make time for their own rest, put their clients’ needs before their own and drastically undercharge for their services. But there is NOTHING spiritual about any of that. It’s time to get our priorities right. Almost every time I am on a call with my magnificent coach, Lisa Nichols, she reminds me of the importance of serving from an OVERFLOWING CUP. Not a full cup. An OVERFLOWING cup. To her, and now to me, that means embracing abundance in ALL forms UNAPOLOGETICALLY so we can show up fully in our service.

Nothing to prove, no one to please

25.07.2018

When we allow ourselves remember who we truly are, when we detox from our addiction to what other people may think of us, we are truly free to create a breathtaking life and bring our gifts to the world.
A life where we are aligned, congruent with our purpose, mission, and message.
A life where we have nothing to prove.
A life where we have no one to please.
To me, this is the ultimate form of autonomy -the right condition for self-government.

Resting is The Revolution

22.07.2018

The Paradigm of Separation that has controlled our every move for 3000 years, taught us to rush, push, prove, shut up and put up, ignore the messages of our bodies, the rhythms of our lives, our connection to Mother Earth, which means that one of the most powerful acts of defiance of the Patriarchy is, in fact, resting.

How to hold the Light and anticipate Miracles

12.07.2018

Are you finding it a challenge to navigate the emotional roller coaster that our journey of ascension can bring, the moment we say yes to our heart-led business? Do you anticipate a disaster instead of the best possible outcome? What if there was a way for you to hold the Light and show up lovingly for yourself through the shifts! What if it was possible for you to return to a higher vibe more quickly, and come to anticipate miracles in your heart-led business? Let’s practise Kyle Gray’s process for Holding the Light!

Why detoxifying from perfectionism helps you leap afraid

30.06.2018

If perfectionism is breathing down our neck, there is a story of shame that still owns us which prevents us from SHOWING UP FULLY and serve from a place of true presence and love. That shame-story tells us we are not enough. That story tells us that we should fear judgment, rejection, and ridicule if we allow our light to shine and show our true selves, if we speak up and step out. So it holds us back. Learn how detoxifying from perfectionism will help you leap afraid and get you moving forward in your heart-led business today.

Sometimes, things don’t work out as we hope they will. This is especially true in these messy middle times.
It doesn’t mean that all isn’t still well.
.
In the past week, I had to let go of my EARTHEART project, my Global Council of Women ready to embody the heart-centered, Earth-anchored way of serving, leading & doing business, with integrity, purpose & peace...

It hurt!

Conceived and nurtured on our collective travels through 2020, it was an extension of my heart & soul. It represented everything that matters to me.

The culmination of a profound journey of death and rebirth, guidance from my ancestors and the vision of a new Earth, gifted to me in the year that passed.

An anchor in the midst of the hurricane.

An Oak tree with roots reaching deep, deep into the soil, connected like an umbilical cord to the very life-giving heart-beat of the Earth herself, to steady us and guide our way home in these bewildering, messy, times.

“This is your version of heaven on Earth”, wrote one sister.

She was right.

It was our most precious and loving gift.

Letting it go has been a deep process. Another death.

And yet, this is part and parcel of being a conscious entrepreneur.

Of letting go.

Of having the courage to let go of ABSOLUTELY everything.

Even our art.

Even our most soulful expression.

All of it.

But it doesn’t mean it’s not been painful.

In the past weeks I have journeyed with:

Grief
Frustration
Fear
Rejection
Exhaustion
Shame
Sadness
Confusion
Surrender
Trust
Liberation
Grace
Peace

Most business mentors will never share a downfall as the need to appear perfect leads to compulsive pretending.

But you may have noticed that I’m not like other business mentors.

I’m real and raw.

Imperfect and yet enough.

In the end, we had to accept that there wasn’t a perfect match for a majority of people in our community with our version of heaven on Earth.

For this I take FULL responsibility.
This I FULLY own.

Right now, rest is needed.

Reflection is needed.

Introspection is needed.

Space is needed.

Stillness is needed.

I trust and surrender to the bigger plan.

All is well 🙏🏼🕊

“Come”, I said, arms locked around each-others’ backs, shoulder to shoulder.

"Let’s gather here and sit on this patch of grass.

We can sing songs and chant for the change we want.

It’s called Civil Disobedience.

Do you know of Mahatma Ghandi?”

The girls looked at me, as the circle was dispersed and we made our way to the lawn. Eyes wide open.

To me this was normal.

Part of how I was being raised.

Part of what I understood as aliveness, and purpose and meaning in life.

But to them, it seemed I represented some kind of brave new world.

I was 10 years old, and although it wasn’t the first rally I had taken part in, this was the first one instigated and led by me.

We were here to say No More to unfair, gender-based discriminatory treatment in P.E class.

The supply teacher was useless and had dismissed our complaints over and over.

If anything, he was the one inciting it and egging the boys on, whilst contributing himself. This sickened me.

There was anger amongst the girls.

Frankly, we’d had enough.

And I knew how to step things up.

As we gathered on the grass and began our chants, the boys climbed up the chestnut tree right next to it and began throwing conkers – sharp as stones - aimed at our heads and bodies, laughing, heckling.

Although dismayed, this was something I had expected.

This was what we were up against.

Not just grown-ups, but the next generation patriarchy.

It was break-time. But in order for our protest to have any impact, I knew that we would need to stay on, after it had finished, in order to draw more attention to our cause. As I shared this information, heads nodded in agreement.

But when the bell rang for its third and last time and the silence of the yard set in, so too did the reality of the situation.

To my surprise, those nods now seemed to have meant nothing.

There were those who got up and went in, without a moment’s hesitation.

Others waited a little. Wary. Visibly uncomfortable.

Some began crying.

Then got up, ran in. Overcome with good girl syndrome.

Some felt the need to excuse themselves to me before leaving.

Now more than ever, we need each other.

It is now, more than ever, that we are called home to what matters the most.

Called home to Love, connection, safety.

Ingredients essential for growth, for learning, healing, transformation.

For simply being.

We need spaces anchored in unconditional love, with fierce boundaries that lend themselves to the becoming that we are all experiencing.

The becoming of the next version of ourselves, our lives, our livelihoods. Leadership.

Spaces that enable us to take full responsibility for all of those things.

Spaces that are non-linear and where there is no pressure to perform, no deadlines to achieve. Where everyone is on their own timeline, celebrated for their own unique rhythms. And gifts.

Spaces that hold us tenderly and accountable to our values and visions, whilst helping us explore what those are too.

Spaces that places integrity, purpose and peace at the heart of everything it does.

Because in 2021, that’s the only way.

Spaces that help us shine bright as light-houses, when the seas are dark and turbulent.

Spaces that help us, collectively, usher in a new beginning, a new tomorrow - for us all.

That tomorrow is why I keep calling you, sister.

Calling you to step into EARTHEART.

Calling you into the warmth and sisterhood of EARTHEART.

Because that tomorrow is our mission, the very reason we were born.

So there is nothing to be ready for, my beloved.

We are all as ready as we can ever be.

The doors to our Global Council of Women, ready to embody the Heart-centered, Earth-anchored way to serve, lead and do business with integrity, purpose and peace close Monday 11/1 at midnight GMT.

🌍 Link in bio!

It's decision time.

It's time to be deeply held, so that you can be and do what you came for. 🙏🏼

Part of being a way-shower is about re-imagining the old or imagining something quite new.

And then finding the right tools, forums and contexts in which to put our vision into practise.

EARTHEART, our new Global Council of women ready to embody the heart-centered, Earth-anchored way to serve, lead and do business with integrity, purpose & peace is this kind of forum.

Because on the other side of the chaos and turbulence we are witnessing on the planet at this moment in time, is something new. Something better.

A better way of living, serving, leading and doing business on our planet.

And you, my beloved friend, you are here to make that 'better' possible.

Not alone, but together with other, brave-hearted souls, who are also choosing courage over comfort in 2021.

It has perhaps NEVER before in our lifetime been more important to seek out safe and boundaried spaces that will hold us tenderly and fiercely in our process of becoming more courageous leaders, space holders and entrepreneurs.

Re-calibrating means being witnessed in our vulnerability, loved unconditionally, held accountable, and seen in our brightest light.

Being heart-led means saying yes to intimacy & connection, to hold and be held.

It’s time.
To become.
To lead.
To shine.

♥️ EARTHEART is this space .🙏🏼

👉The doors to EARTHEART - close on the 11/1 at midnight GMT.

2021 is already proving itself to be both chaotic and tumultuous.

Whatever you are feeling today, you are held in my heart.

You and I have work to do, together in these ‘messy middle times’, as I call them.

Chaos and uncertainty can often trigger us to want to hide away, to retreat. To avoid the discomfort and the pain of being present with what is here and now on planet Earth and in our own lives.

But retreating and avoiding is not what way-showers do.

Not what space-holders and guides and leaders do.

No, we do the opposite.

We rise.

We rise up, stand up, speak up.

We are never silent about hard things - even when there are more questions than answers.

2021 will ask more of us, whoever we are, and especially if we claim to be a leader, guide, space holder.

Today is Day 5 of our Year 5.

2021 is a year 5 (2+2+0+1).

In numerology, a year 5 is about change and turbulence.

Master Numerologist Hans Decoz of Rising Phoenix - World Numerology - says: “Imagine 2020 as a huge ship caught in a hurricane. It has lost control of its engines and steering, barely staying afloat. In 2021 we regain control, and while the storm still rages, we slowly move toward safety and calmer waters.

2021 will initiate a continuous progressive curve toward a more humane world. Addressing climate change, equality, and expanding political alliances are all possible, but they will take place against a background of natural disasters, violence, extremism, and destruction. Polarization will become even more profound as the firestorm of misinformation continues to burn.”

I don't think this comes as any surprise to either you or me.
We can feel this ourselves, and notice it all around.

It is likely that 2021 will feel like a trek.

It is likely that 2021 will bring uncertainty and turbulence.

It is likely that 2021 will test us, so that we come to see what we are made of.

Now this reality could easily make us feel overwhelmed, despondent and reactive.

But as way-showers and light-houses, we know better.

We know that we have a CHOICE in how we show up.

We know that being 'conscious' is about how we relate to something.

🏔Today, in my session: “Welcoming 2021”, I gathered my Time to Shine community together with the aim to nourish us as we welcome 2021 and our journey ahead.

A session to empower us, so that we can embrace our new year with leadership, flow and a sense of adventure no less.

Yes.

I know it's a bold claim.

👉LEADERSHIP, FLOW, ADVENTURE.

But that's what way-showers are.
