For far too long women have relegated connection to Spirit through God as masculinized deity. Accessed through religious power structures created by and for men. What is lost when we no longer see ourselves as divine beings reflected in this heavenly play? What then happens to our life and our ability to be co-creators of our destiny?
Through the newly emerging mysteries of Mary Magdalene I am discovering ancient archetypes & modern wisdom that are key to recovering sacred union, the balance between masculine and feminine. And I see the how she symbolizes a struggle to be seen and honored for who she really is.....We can experience and embody a connection to divinity that is grounded in the feminine essence. This reorients us. We start to live our lives from a different reference point.
And YET, it’s the direction I’ve been praying for. Simple is not always easy. Ever happen to you? The thing you ask for comes, but in such a mis-matched package that you don’t know if you can wear it? And it certainly isn't your size or color? Welcome to my year. Probably yours too. I am not unique. It’s a challenge to be moving to the deeper rhythms of Soul guidance and Source. My ego is not always happy. And yet the other choices are miserable, living a lie of a "supposed to" life. It’s way more rich, juicy and satisfying. But it isn’t always easy. Something different is seeking to emerge.
The reemergence of the Divine Feminine is a signal that it is time for the divine divorce to end, that the balance of masculine and feminine is spiritual models are coming back to play, in union. For if humans are made in the image and likeness of god, and there clearly are women and females in every life form, where is the goddess?
We know intellectually that we are all connected but when emotional waves threaten to take us down, do we recall that there are larger forces at play. Larger energy fields expressed as weather, astrology/astronomy, economy, etc. When millions are suffering, am I expected NOT to feel that? Gratefully with enough experience navigating myself and others through the channels, (and great support from wise buddies) I turned to skills and practices that I know work. I know because I have used and taught them for 20 plus years. We teach what we need to learn, remember?
Now the path is to stay clear and open. To recognize and clear false or limiting beliefs as they emerge. Harvest them during the funky, out-of-alignment moments we all have. And come back to truth and clarity about who we are and why we are each here. (What joy!)So if you notice feeling stuck, frustrated or negative about some moment or aspect of your life, take a moment to acknowledge it, whatever its content or quality may be. Try not to get hooked by the story. Then see what it is trying to teach or show you. And take a small action to create a shift to more clarity and alignment with your Self and Source.
Are You Charging What You Are Worth? Many solo professionals and heart-centered entrepreneurs struggle with making the money they really need and deserve. Can you relate? Although there are lots of programs on marketing and selling, there’s little to no guidance on how to have successful sales conversations, determine the best fee structure for your services or how to ask for what your worth. As a result, many solo-preneurs like you feel uncomfortable and uneasy quoting their fees, feel pressured to discount their services or even avoid asking for the business! If you know you’re meant to share your gifts
Today is the first day back to work for many after a long holiday break. The time my dear sister Beth Meadows calls "The Great Pause". It's that gap between Solstice (also Hanukkah and Christmas) and the New Year, when all time seems to stop and listen. We honor that quiet time with rest, renewal and inward reflection, despite the busy demands of holiday cheer. We review the year passing and dream of what we hope is to come. We set intentions and goals, even "resolutions". And after a week or two of this deep soul work, we
I feel it, cleansing and releasing seems to the order of the season for many, that along with rest, renewal and reflection. It seems we have lots to let go of to make space for what is new and trying to come through. That may be what 2010 is about: clearing the space for the numinous to appear (in us, as us). I do hope this next decade is more glorious than you hope and dream. Lets talk in mid-January for a way to support you in getting there, with a group of friends/colleagues or by your self.
I invite you to carve out some time for yourself some afternoon or evening and create a self-retreat. It doesn’t have to be a big deal and is so nourishing to your spirit. Better yet, gather 10 friends (remember: you come free) and we can custom create one for you and yours. Who would you like to reflect and rejuvenate with? What’s on the minds and hearts of those in your closest circle? Turn these questions into transformative renewal and re-creation. It's time for you to answer to your inner wisdom.
