Reflections on The Experience 2024 with guest editor Shuhada Alauddin

Today's article is a special edition, reporting from Day 4 of The Experience 2024: A week long journey of reflection and connection.

The Experience is Revolutionary Woman Global's 7 Day online journey, where we guide you to create your Roadmap to bring your Best Work into the world at this important time, so you can go from IDEA to DONE in 2025.

Day 4: Who are you becoming? A mindset journey.

Day 4 of The Experience was an opportunity to explore, reflect, and cultivate an expansive mindset, while embracing our unique personal growth journeys. It was all about aligning our inner compass with our vision and creating mental clarity.

The session was hosted by Karen 'Gem' Pohlman (better known as Gem) and Janet Mohapi-Banks and began with a grounding practice where the group energy shifted into stillness and introspection. We were guided through a beautiful practice of calling back all our energy and then allowing it to expand in every direction. It was the kind of practice that invites you to feel fully present.??

What followed was an inspiring exchange of reflections from participants based on their 4-Square exercise from the previous day. A key part of the conversation focused on using the 4-Square tool to bring more depth into each other’s journeys. One person described how an intuitive card reading provided answers that resonated deeply, as a reminder to trust both the universe and her spirit. Another reflected on how, even after feeling the gentle unease that comes with change, she found a way to feel excitement about the possibilities that lie ahead. A theme that kept surfacing was alignment—aligning actions, thoughts, and intentions with what truly matters.

As everyone shared, there was an unmistakable emphasis on the importance of embracing curiosity and trust—not just in the outcomes, but in the process itself.

Guided Meditation to meet Future You.

The core of Day 4 was a guided meditation to meet future versions of ourselves led by Janet Mohapi-Banks . We were invited to imagine every detail of what a thriving, joyful life looked like and to step into who we are becoming. And more than that, it invited us to hold onto those images and anchor them into the heart space - such that it becomes a knowing that what we want is possible, that we are worthy of it, and that what we want to create already exists.

The guided meditation went on with positive affirmations—statements about love, abundance, and success that each of the participants could embrace as guiding beliefs. Everyone was encouraged to repeat the affirmations out loud, allowing the words to resonate and settle. These moments of reaffirmation—simple yet profound—helped everyone to build momentum and positive energy around what each of them can create.?

Aligning With Visions and Letting Go

We then reflected on our experience of the visualization and how it related to our 4-Squares. Many shared their experiences of recognizing where they held onto fear and doubt and the freedom that came from beginning to release these emotions. It wasn’t about dismissing the need for control altogether, but rather recognizing when and why we hold on so tightly—and what it might feel like to let some of it go. For one participant, the practice brought clarity about being present in her physical body and acknowledging how much influence, yet also surrender, she had in her healing journey.?

One participant also shared a humorous anecdote about someone unexpectedly ringing the bell on her door during the meditation—a reminder that while we aim for peace and alignment, life's little surprises are always part of the journey.

Building Momentum and Embracing Possibility?

The session ended on a beautiful note—a collective embrace of possibility. Everyone shared their experiences of feeling lighter, more open, and excited for what’s to come. There was talk about how energy shifted, how visions expanded, and how everyone felt a renewed sense of trust in themselves and in their capabilities.

Day 4 was truly an experience of stepping into who we are becoming—and realizing that often, the path forward is about noticing and expanding what’s already within us.

With love and appreciation, Shuhada Alauddin and Team Revolutionary
