In this episode we dive into the importance of connecting to our Feminine bodies to create a life of magic, the importance of our body’s senses, the importance of going into our darkness and practical ways we can embody the energetic we desire to live from.
What You’ll Learn from this Episode:
- The work of Soul is as important as the work of a doctor who heals the body - without it, we are empty vessels
- As women, we often feel we have to operate from logic and we place a lot of value on our sense of sight because that is most valued by the world we live in; and yet, as a woman, there are so many more senses - such as our deep intuition - *all* our senses are important if we want to live a magical life
- The body needs to understand, not just the mind - in ancient Egypt, hieroglyphics were created via symbols in order to help the body remember the energy - a bit like if we take a photo we remember the energy of the moment in our bodies
- To appreciate all of our senses, we must be willing to go into the darkness which is where we begin to feel them all
- The most important thing, if we want to embody our Goddess, is that we intentionally embody the energetic we desire. This can be done in lots of ways, but we must bring the energetic we desire into everything we create or consume. Our senses can be the portal for this, too.
- There are so many embodiment practices to support us in this - being naked is a great practice to allow ourselves to get comfortable with our truth, as well as alivening all of our senses
- We so often shame our bodies, and yet the real work is in offering them enough love that we can radically approve of them - the way to do this is to be willing to go into the darkness and be with it
- Firstly, we must be willing to choose ourselves, even (and especially) when that choosing feels uncomfortable - can we still choose ourselves when others need us? We can only embody our Goddess when we are willing to put ourselves first - otherwise, we are left with half-hearted versions of ourselves.
- Choosing ourselves allows us to be of deeper service to the world in our whole, magical gifts
