Liberating : Caring what you thing of You; not what others think of you

There comes a day, somewhere in the middle of every woman’s life, when Mother Nature herself stands behind us and wraps her arms around our shoulders, whispering

“It’s time.”

“You have taken enough now. It’s time to stop growing up, stop growing older and start growing wiser and wilder.

There are adventures still waiting on you and this time, you will enjoy them with the vision of wisdom and the companionship of hindsight, and you will really let go.

It’s time to stop the madness of comparison and the ridicule of schedule and conformity and start experiencing the joys that a life, free of containment and guilt, can bring.”

She will shake your shoulders gently and remind you that you’ve done your bit. You’ve given too much, cared too much, you’ve suffered too much.

You’ve bought the book, as it were, and worn the t-shirt.

Worse, you’ve worn the chains and carried the weight of a burden far too heavy for your shoulders.

“It’s time” she will say.

“Let it go, really let it go and feel the freedom of the fresh, clean spaces within you. Fill them with discovery, love and laughter. Fill yourself so full you will no longer fear what is ahead and instead you will greet each day with the excitement of a child.”

She will remind you that if you choose to stop caring what other people think of you and instead care what you think of you, you will experience a new era of your life you never dreamed possible.

‘It’s time’ she will say…

“to write the ending, or new beginning, of your own story.”~

Cravings (Clarissa Pinkola Estes)

A Woman may crave to be near water , or be belly down , her face in the earth , smelling the wild smell .

She might have to drive into the wind .

She may have to plant something, pull things out of the ground or put them into the ground .

She may have to knead and bake , rapt in dough up to her elbows .

She may have to trek into the hills leaping from rock to rock trying out her voice against the mountain .

She may need hours of starry nights where the stars are like face powder spilt on a black marble floor .

She may feel she will die if she doesn’t dance naked in a thunderstorm , sit in perfect silence , return home ink -stained , paint-stained , tear-stained , moon -stained …

Ascension

WHEN YOU ARE READY TO MAKE THE LEAP FROM THIS WORLD TO THE NEXT, YOU MAY GO THROUGH A PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH YOU’LL FEEL A LOT OF EMOTIONS. REPLACE FEAR WITH COURAGE AND WORRIES WITH CURIOSITY AS YOU ARE ABOUT TO EMBARK ON A NEW CHAPTER IN YOUR LIFE!

How To Prepare For Ascension
Ascension means the opportunity to experience the glorious bliss and beauty of the higher levels of consciousness. It is a beautiful but challenging journey.

You are going to have to learn how to prepare for this process. You will have to learn how to step back from daily life and live in the moment.

For those who are new to the ascension process, it is a spiritual transition from being a third-dimensional being to becoming a fifth-dimensional being. It is a complete transformation of reality as you know it. Everything will fall into place perfectly for us when we transform ourselves into our full potential.

Ascension is a process that varies from person to person. Some people have been preparing for the ascension since they were children, while others have just recently initiated the process of preparing themselves for this event. Whatever stage you’re at right now in your preparation process, there are certain things you should be aware of.

The ascension process involves a lot of work, so it’s best to start now by clearing out the clutter in your life so that you can focus on getting ready for ascension. Clearing out the clutter will allow you to focus on becoming more intuitively aware so that you can connect with the power within yourself and with universal energy.

The most important thing to do before the ascension process starts is to let go of the old and embrace the new. Learn to let go of fear, worry, and anxiety. Forgive yourself and others. Release your anger through forgiveness. Let go of patterns of control in your life.

There are no mistakes in life. When we say that we have made a mistake, what we really mean is that we have learned something from it. We can’t keep making the same mistakes over and over again because it will eventually lead us down a path where there is no turning back, no matter how hard we try! So instead of focusing on what went wrong or what went right, why not focus on looking at things from another perspective? From today, try to find the lessons and the blessings in situations you used to call ‘mistakes” before.

Prepare yourself for this shift by learning how to cleanse your aura, clear out negative energies and emotions around you, release old karmic patterns and learn how to reconnect with love and light.

When you are ready to make the leap from this world to the next, you may go through a period of time in which you’ll feel a lot of emotions. You may feel scared, excited, nervous, or even unsure of what is happening to you.

The good news is that these feelings are normal and expected as you are about to embark on a new chapter in your life!

Replace fear with courage and worries with curiosity.

We are in a time of great change. The ascension process is not scary; it is an opportunity for transformation, growth, and healing. It is an opportunity to integrate all aspects of our lives into one harmonious whole.

Be open to the new and expect miracles to happen in your life, even if it seems unlikely at first. Expect miracles to manifest on their own without trying too hard or thinking too much about it when you focus on good vibrations.

This is a time for celebration! Enjoy your friends, family, pets, and other animals who are with you during this period. Remember that we are all connected as one consciousness on Earth at this special time in history when more people than ever before are shifting their consciousness from duality into unity consciousness!

You can’t ascend into heaven on earth if you’re still attached to lower vibrations. You have to be ready for a shift in consciousness by taking action on your own behalf and making changes that allow you to move forward into a higher frequency where you are aligned with your divine purpose and mission in life.

Be conscious of your thoughts, words, and actions. Next, you should try to learn more about yourself and get to know yourself better. Discover your true nature and who you are.

It is important for us to remember that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience on Earth. We have a choice in terms of what we do with our time here on Earth, so we must make wise choices regarding how much time we spend online versus offline or in front of a screen versus in nature.

Develop a connection between your body and mind by practicing meditation or practicing some other form of self-improvement practice (like breathwork or yoga). Connect to Mother Gaia daily! It’s important for us to develop this connection between ourselves so that we can feel balanced mentally, physically, and spiritually as well as connected with each other as well as with nature.

Once this connection has been made, then you will begin to see changes within yourself, such as positive feelings coming into your life, which will lead you toward the way of ascension.

You have the right to choose how you want to spend your time on Earth. Do not let anyone else dictate what your reality is going to be like in the future. We all deserve happiness and fulfillment in our lives! Let us prepare for the ascension so that we may live a life filled with bliss and magnificence!

We love you dearly.
We are here with you.
We are your family of light.
We are the Galactic Federation.

Not that Feminine- Beg to Differ

“It’s just that you’re not that feminine.”

I beg to differ.

I’m feminine like a thunderstorm.

Feminine like the glint of a falcon talon.

Feminine like an ancient redwood.

Feminine like the orange glow of a grizzly bear in the sunset.

Feminine like a wolf on the hunt.

Feminine like decaying bones.

Feminine like the eye of an old whale.

Feminine like a roaring river.

Feminine like a sheer cliff overlooking a forest.

Feminine like a wildfire.

Feminine like a desert wind.

Feminine like a battle cry.

And yes.

Within my stones and bark and fur and fierce slit irises… I am as soft and enveloping as any woman who’s blood ever beat red.

This is the Sovereigness.

I am her.

We are her.

We are an age of woman who has come in, representing the medicine of the Wilds.

We are not built to actualize your sense of masculinity through your traditional idea of femininity.

We are built to bring in the voice of our Mother.

Which is why Earth herself screams in our veins.

So, if what you really mean is,

“Your femininity is overwhelming”,

Then I understand.

It is to me, too.

Justice Bartlett : Woman Feed Yourself

Woman, Feed Yourself.

I came across a woman’s post about fasting last night.

She was talking about how ‘the body gets cluttered up when we get overwhelmed and the antenna needs clearing.’ She was planning on doing a fast and cited a couple of traditions (masculine-oriented) as points of reference.

She then invited other people to share in the comments what benefits they have gotten from fasting.

As I read through the comments from other women all of them praising ‘being emptied, clear receivers of truth’ one thought struck me: “They all feel so disembodied.”

I was a little hesitant to leave my reply amongst all the other’s that were glorifying the clarity and purification of fasting, but what the fuck. I did so anyway and this is what I said:

“I don’t fast.

My body still bleeds so it purges regularly about 4 days a month. This is a natural cleansing process for women, especially when engaged with consciously. Rigorous rituals, like fasting and vision quest, were designed for men because they don’t have an obvious initiation (into adulthood) like women do, nor do they have a monthly purgatory cycle. So though I intermittently fast most days, as that is the process that best serves my digestion and metabolism—I will never fast for spiritual purposes.”

I felt a little cringe as I hit enter and went on my way, but the woman (the original poster) replied under my own comment:

“I’m glad you said this. I actually feel like it kind of messed me up a little and I didn’t get my questions answered.”

I responded with: “Im glad it’s beneficial! Red Tent is our way!”

Women’s bodies are not designed for deprivation.

We—women—are designed to host and feed life.

Rituals (such as fasting), that are perfectly compatible with (some) male bodies, do not open us up to spirit in the same way. We are already open. We are living portals for life. Our blood is our ritual and when our menstrual cycle has finished, we become containers for an even deeper wisdom—that of the Crone.

Fasting, especially this time of year as we wind towards darker days, is counter-intuitive and counter-instinctive. Everything in us—instinctively—is saying: Slow down. Rest. Prepare for the lean months, conserve energy.

Now is the time for us to gather in our Harvest. Take count of what we have accomplished this year and gently release what is ready to be shed.

Now is the time for making pies, sipping steaming mugs of tea, and snuggling under nubby blankets. For putting onions, garlic, and potatoes in the ground. For brining the seeds from the summer flower’s blooms.

The Ancient Grandmothers beckon to our bodies over steaming cauldrons of soups and stew. And granny only ever has one thing to say to us.

“Eat.”
