Hey Jimi
Over the last few years I have been intentionally shifting out of my habitual (comfortable) high achiever, hustle mentality into a more feminine, aligned, receptive energy.
You would think it would be easy but it has actually been one of the hardest things to do because it has required me to fully face limiting beliefs that I have held about myself and the world. It has challenged me to practice surrender and trust.
Last night during a new moon gathering, I received the download of how this way of being has been imprinted into my Self.
I come from a long line of strong powerful women. Breadwinners. I was taught from an early age that women could do anything that men could do. I was taught how to set a goal and go after it.
The thing was that I was taught how to create from a very masculine energy…..which upon reflection makes complete sense.
Tuesday was the 100 year anniversary of WHITE women’s ability to vote (I specify white women because black women unfortunately had to wait much longer).
In an effort to create equal rights, women had to embody more of the masculine to prove their value and worth in the workplace….to prove their competency.
It makes sense that so many strong empowered women are masters at the masculine, the drive, the DOing.
We have been generationally programmed to believe that in order to have value and worth or to create in the world, that this is what we must do.
But I believe that we lost a lot of our magic in that process and that high achieving powerful women must come back to their divine feminine in order to really have the life they truly desire.
They must fully stand in their worth and know that they are worthy of receiving without DOing anything.
A woman that is not in touch with her divine feminine is constantly DOing (especially for others), she is living from the head up, she’s not in state of pleasure, she has anxiety/depression, she’s exhausted, she is disconnected from her body and therefore a victim to the symptoms her body uses to communicate with her.
At the core of so many symptoms that I hear women complain about is a disconnect with themselves. A deep emotional wounding that must be healed.
So many women take the driven masculine energy that they have learned to create so many things in their life and then shift it over to their health journey.
They restrict. They try hard. They beat themselves up when they “fail”.
But what if there was another way?
What if healing could be pleasurable?
What if you could feel supported?
What if there could be flow rather than rigidity?
I am not saying that the path to healing will always be easy but when you are in touch with your worthiness and are able to allow and receive…..the process flows.
It no longer is a struggle.
To your health,
P.S. I have been having lots of feelings (as are most people). A lot of grief has come up for me around my freedom and inability to travel. Last year we lived in Bali and it was amazing. I have been making loads of jamu recently which is a local tonic drink. I wanted to share the recipe my private chef made for the Inside Out program. It’s yummy and highly anti-inflammatory. Enjoy!
