Empowering The Mystery
The culture we have all been indoctrinated into is so backwards.
I have been actively shedding said ideologies actively since my early 20's but I still dwell in the frequency of "the system" so it requires daily devotion and w-o-r-k to stay liberated. So many people have forgotten that this system is totally contrived and therefore are caught up in a great grinding machine of mans own fabrication. People imagine that they're thriving but their not. And, the price one pays for subscribing to the western cult-ure of progress and growth is disconnection, disembodiment, disenchantment and quite frankly a soul stifled existence.
To let your soul thrive in this culture can feel like swimming upstream. To turn away from the western definition of progress and growth is to attempt to escape an orbit - no small task.
Some of you know this, I live for a good puzzle so, in order to continue escaping the orbit - I am always chiseling away at one. I also keep my creative “non-productive” life alive by embroidering, painting, cooking, contemplating the wisdom of the mystics and maintaining long morning tea meditations. I live for slow mornings. Slow mornings are not a luxury for me, they are none negotiable. The fact that slow morning are considered a luxury or radical in anyway is absolutely wild to me because to be totally honest with you I couldn't function healthily without them.
I wake up, prepare hot water for tea and set it over a flame to stay warm. I sit and have about a 10 minute pranayama practice, followed by a mantra practice and silent meditation. I then sit with tea for about 40 minutes, pull tarot cards, let the messages sink in and head back to the kitchen to prepare cacao. With my cacao I return to my space, journal on whatever is alive for me and align my mind with the energies my body has received for the day. From there, I am ready to "do" things.
Without this daily connection to myself, my intuition and the mystery [which is the truth of life] it's too easy to get sucked into the undercurrent of external influences that only act as a disservice to all life which I am 100% not available for.
The remembrance of our true nature is a radical act within our culture. The western world which has been built - is literally falling apart. So, what are you going to hang onto?
One of the things I am most proud of is that I haven’t worked for anyone since I was 26 years old.
At 24 I was fed up with the way the world wanted me to live. I decided to unsubscribe from social norms and quit listening to anyone outside myself. I began in that moment to live in absolute devotion to my heart, to the unseen but deeply felt inner direction [intuition] and to trust that force beyond anything or anyone outside of me.
Guess what?
It worked, and it’s still working…
The only way you can create a life that is truly yours is by giving ultimate power to your intuitive voice and delusionally trusting the universe of the unseen.
You have to make a conscious choice to shape your world from within. At first it's very hard. You have to start by holding the unknown while blindly trusting with absolutely no proof that your delulu is going to pan out.
But take it from me…
It does.
I am living, breathing proof.
For me, not being employed was the gateway to living 100% in devotion to Spirit. This was a nonnegotiable for me. I have to let the creative force of life move through me. I have to dance with the mystery, endlessly be at the threshold and be waving back at others to come along. This is what makes me feel alive. This way of living may have begun by quitting a job but it is the way I work with every aspect of my life. The moment I took my hands off the metaphysical wheel and gave over to the guidance of the unseen I woke up to life and the most miraculous journey has been unfolding ever since.
As much as your mind would like to convince you otherwise, you are not in control. We are in relationship with nature, with the cosmos, with the mystery! I have always said that to trust yourself and to trust the mystery of life is the greatest security that exists. It is your job to center yourself in the wild unknown with curiosity and wonder as your anchors.
It is your job to fall back in love with the earth, the creatures of the land, with the spirits of nature and treat them all with love, care and kinship. When you are able to reawaken the truth of this connection within your heart, body and mind you will no longer grip to the illusions man and mind has manufactured.
You will mature beyond the need to stick your flag on a many high mountains as you can climb. You will cease to need to announce every accomplishment and you will quit constantly needing to be seeking out the next one. You will ripen into the profound remembrance that you are nature. Only from this place will you flow with the seasons of life, safely held within the mysterious wisdom of the body we all emerged from and will return to, Mother Earth.
Living in devotion to spirit is only hard because we currently exist in a man-minded and made society that spends everyday trying to convince us our bodies and hearts are not to be trusted. This society endlessly pulls our attention outward and does its very best to hypnotise us away from truth.
Look away.
The only reason you haven’t created your dream life yet is because you want the end result but you don’t have the capacity to exist in the unknown or implement the incremental day to day changes that are required to get there.
You don’t have the ability to make the day to day changes because you haven’t found a supportive system of rituals and practices that you’ve been able to commit to.
I have spent two decades studying rituals and practices. Seeking, failing, starting, quitting, testing and trying over and over again until I landed at home in my body with the plants.
If you want the tools to access the wisdom and truth that is longing for your devotion, come sit with me. The Way of Wild Wisdom 3 Month Initiation Program is waits patiently to receive the women who have always known there was more and are finally ready to claim it.
