Lately I am finding myself seduced by the spiritual path. Meditation, crystals, oracle cards, reiki, and astrology are all beautiful practises to explore. This is not new to me, growing up I was fascinated by the occult. I was a girl who collected crystals, spoke to the universe and used astrology as a tool to understand the people I loved. At some point I lost my magic, reluctantly getting sucked into life as we know it and forgetting who I came here to be.
The more I am being called into the mystic the more I am compelled to listen to my intuition. It is such a divine journey, getting older and finding my way home to myself. I am shedding layers and layers of thoughts, views and opinions that were never mine, I am hearing myself clearly for the first time and I feel so free. With each passing day I am becoming more nurturing, receptive, creative, and intuitive.
Here is the thing – As you begin to fully embrace your feminine it is even more important to become so deeply rooted in your need to establish boundaries. This doesn’t come so easily to me, but these boundaries are necessary to flourish and grow, without them it is all too easy to get pulled back and influenced negatively by those around you. You must also take ownership for the less than desirable parts of yourself. You must become present and aware of the space that you occupy. You cannot change your past, but you can choose your future.
As women we have thought for many years to lead a life that is driven by the masculine, a feeling that we would not be respected, or our input valued if we presented as an emotional feminine archetype. Thus, leading to us feeling as though we must prove ourselves capable by taking on and juggling everything, all of the time. This has led to us becoming hyper masculine and un-appreciated. I do not want to be the dominate driving energy, there is a place for that yes, but right now I want to embody my feminine, I want life to ebb and flow around me as I stay soft and grounded. I want to make the world around me so beautiful and inject it with love. Joy is a word that resonates so intently with me.
This path has its challenges of course. You will change and as you begin to change it will cause ripples. You must constantly have to make the choice to keep moving through the obstacles that are meant to hinder or re-direct you from the path you can feel in your soul. As you grow and you begin to take ownership for yourself, you will no longer bend and mould yourself to fit others, you will challenge their belief systems and you will lose people along the way.
Once you start trusting yourself there is no going back. Courage is required, for this is not the path for the faint of heart. You must burn it all to the ground and start again, the gift on the other side is your greatest, wisest self.
What if you were never meant to fit in, never meant to be captive or controlled or meant to bloom in unison with anyone else, what if you no longer want what everyone else has, maybe a great life looks different to you now... maybe it always did. Maybe you are meant to bloom with wild abandon in your own time on your own terms.
The more the feminine begins to know herself and what she is worth, the more she begins to expand, and that is the most beautiful thing.
Together the wild ones will set us free.
