Why I Do Not Work During My Bleed/Menstrual, Wednesdays Or Weekends
When I start my bleed/menstrual or when the weekends roll around, I do not work. I also do not work on Wednesdays; as this is my only “Off-Day”.
This means that on those days, I don't do calls, I engage very minimally and I try my best to pour into myself and no one else except my son. In the past, I've violated that time of the month, my off/rest day and my weekends because of shame, my work-a-holic tendencies, as well as having no sales systems in place to continue functioning while I am resting. But now it has truly become a non-negotiable.
With that said, when the sacred and sacrificial time of my menstrual/bleed comes around specifically, expect rescheduling and/or my withdrawal from certain spaces. The “Current State” banner at the top of my site will notify you all when I am no longer on my menstrual, so check in periodically!
Fixed vs. Tentative Session Times
All sessions are tentative to accommodate my Gypsy lifestyle; and what that means is despite you having booked a "fixed" scheduled session time, I alternatively request additional times that you will also be available that day in the event that my spirits are encouraging me to do something different at our scheduled time. When I do not honor this flow state, if I am to go against what I feel inspired to do and show up for the call anyway, there is a likelihood that I will be unmotivated/uninspired and it may be forced/done from a purely intellectual place; which is devoid of the magick and dark medicine that I know many of you need and/or are looking for. Feel free to do the same for yourself if needed; be that you needing a nap or wanting to have time to intentionally enjoy your food. Please do not ever force yourself to show up for something the way many others do when in school or at work; as this is not that type of space.
Audio Telegram Calls vs. Zoom Video Calls
Even though most of you will have booked a Zoom video session with me through my Calendly scheduling link, there will be times where I opt for an audio call via Telegram for energy preservation purposes; as video calls can be unreasonably draining for me.
Unless I have to share my screen for some reason or do a practice with you, 9 times out of 10 I will opt for a audio session; especially if my surge is rearing toward an end. With that said, please be sure to change your Telegram settings if needed so that I am able to call you.
My Surges vs. My Hermit/Rest Periods
As a Manifestor in Human Design (no I do not study it), I have recently learned that I go through creative surges and hermit/rest periods. On a daily, weekly and monthly basis, as a client of mine, you will see the banner at the type of any of my site tabs change as my “Current State” shifts; which will effect how I work accordingly.
What To Expect When I Am In A Surge
During creative surges, I am on go, manic and practically unstoppable. This is when I am the most committed to my calls, channel spirits/entities the hardest, create the most content + additions to my work and am able to go into overdrive without breaking a sweat. I have not gotten to the point where I am able to track when it happens per month; but when I do, I will be able to better calculate when my calls should be scheduled; how many calls should be scheduled, etc. What I do know is that when my surge period is coming to an end/slowing down, you guys may experience call cancellations, reschedules and longer wait times as far as responses/engagement from me on Telegram. Please be gentle with me as I learn these cycles of mine so that I can better show up for you guys without feeling guilty or ashamed to the point of going into an energetic deficit/burnout. For now, I am still in a bit of a trial and error phase, so bear with me. I will be sure to be as communicative as I can until these cycles have more of a tangible form that I can reference.
So, if you all could extend me some grace as I learn to navigate the grey area that exists between gypsyhood and entrepreneurship, I would love that.
What To Expect When My Surge Period Ends
Once a surge period has ended for me, you will notice my energy slowing down and me not being as manic/active as usual. If you identify that I may be hitting this point before I am able to inform you, I am more than open to you taking the initiative to go on and reschedule or even affirm to me that you've noticed and encourage me to rest. This would be very supportive for me and I am learning to ask for what I need; I hope that you all feel comfortable enough to do the same. And while I know that many of you are eager to chat, have been anticipating exact dates + times and may even be desperate to gain clarity or find answers (hopefully, you are open to transmuting such energy together); these forms of resistance inhibit the medicine that I know you are looking for and will make our experience together a lot more shadowy; which is sometimes need to balance the scales and kill the ego so that stop blocking what you're trying to call in at a soul level.
Cancellations + Rescheduling of Calls & Sessions
When we have decided on a time for our call or session (be it the originally scheduled time or an alternate time), I typically wait 10 minutes before you'll have to reschedule. If you're running late, just text me directly at @nikholrei on Telegram as far in advance as you can and I will do the same if need be. I would hate for you to have to wait until another date opens up during my super busy months. If your call, for whatever reason, was rescheduled too far out for your liking, kindly FILL OUT THIS FORM to be added to my Waitlist for a sooner call with me and when I have a free day + have the capacity to pour into others, I will contact you via email or Telegram to see if you can spontaneously hop on Zoom with me! Please bear in mind that this waitlist cannot be applied to Writing Workshops or any type of Group Sessions.
Inquiries Sent Via Email Or Telegram Are Answered Every Monday
When it comes to engagement, answering questions, etc., I only do so on Mondays. So if you’ve sent me a Telegram message or an email and have been awaiting response, please know that anything inquiry related that requires hefty engagement from me will only be done on Mondays. That is when I will go through all of my emails, that is when I will play catch up on all Telegram messages, etc.
So for example, if you wrote me on Wednesday sharing an experience you had with the Homecoming Sessions and want me to respond, unless you are working closely with me because you’ve subscribed to 1 of my 2 memberships, you will have to wait until the following Monday to get a response.
Disclaimer: Instagram DMs is not an efficient way to get a response from me, nor is this form of communication prioritized.
*The urgency of my response time is left entirely up to my discretion.
