Spring Struggle

 

 


White is the color and hyssop the flower.  Intend to work with Restoration and Replenishing.  In order to do so, releasing has to happen.  Some of us do not like letting things go, but it is necessary to move forward.

We need to let go; rest our body, mind and soul because there truly is a Goddess within you that is waiting to emerge. The feminine way is to attract and receive.   We have need to balance ourselves in order to flourish and live in harmony with people, places and things.  The world is changing, rapidly, and all our feminine power is needed to heal and transform with these changes. 

We may find we are struggling, right now, to feel love, to give love, and yet, we may keep having woundings over and over again that makes us not trust and be vulnerable enough to change.  Some of us are busy trying to be personally perfect, knowing full well, that there is no such thing as ‘perfection’, but we beat ourselves up every day, and throughout the days, for not being this illusive, imaginary thing we have defined as perfect.  We are so busy taking care of everything and everyone else, that we do not take care of ourselves.  We are exhausted; physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.  We allow others to disrespect us, to disempower us, to mistreat the holiness that we are.  Some of us were so busy and focused on equality, we became more masculine in ways of being.  We live lives of cravings and trying to pacify that need by filling it with everything but the soulful. 

When we listen to our intuition, we connect to our soul.  Creativity connects me to that.  Surrendering to our intuition is difficult for our Ego.  With research into the Goddesses, it can help us focus more on intuition and creativity.  We always want to have the control of everything so it can be difficult.  Having a sense that something Higher than ourselves is connected to us and is helping us is empowering.  We deserve the best of everything, including spiritual. 

All of us need sacred space.  Once our feminine ancestors had such as The Red Tent that we moved to once a month.  It was a sanctuary.  We need our own personal “temples| where we women gather to be uplifted and nurtured, spiritually.  Where are those places where you can do this?  Do we have such places or do we need to create them for ourselves?

Everything in creation has a purpose and a reason for being.  Being in Mother Nature; seeing the grandeur of ice-capped mountains, walking the shores of a mighty stepping softly to a small pond, rising up over the crest of a hill, all of it mighty majesty and much loved by Creator. My tiny garden plot brings me such joy.  Digging in soft fecund earth to find gems brings me closer to Creation.  That connection is  restorative, is primal, is healing, is nurturing, and a part of our very DNA to be in such fullness of creation.  Do not miss the chance to connect to that Divine Feminine.

All these things bring us closer in connection with the eternal spirit that was here from the first movement of life.  Do whatever is in your power to step in to using your intuition.  Draw close.  Draw closer.  We are never ever alone.  We are a miniscule part of the puzzle of all that is holy.  The Sky, the Earth, the underground, all around us, is hoy.  It is as holy as we believe it to be.  In that holiness are we.  We are here to heal, to nurture, to grow, to connect, and to flourish.    That stillness within is where our very temple is. 

We are meant to be assertive.  We are not here to demand things be the way we want them to be.  We are not here to be depleted of our body, mind, heart or soul.  Yes, we are to flourish and do everything in our power to do so.  In seeking and finding the Goddess Within, I have come closer to all that is holy for me.  We are meant to be authentic... not perfect.  We must recover and reclaim our rightful position in what we call our life.  Balancing the masculine and feminine in our understanding of a Higher Power, we come closer to that harmony.  Know that the goddesses are here and influencing and affecting us, whether we acknowledge it or not.  By researching and knowing how Goddesses might be doing so is empowering and directing us in ways that nothing else can.  It is She who succors our soul.  It is She who knows how absolutely we are miracles on earth.  She is within us, part of our very DNA.  She is the Mother, The Crone, The Maiden in all of us.  Each of us carries such holiness.  Let us be that and desire to know more.  This is a moon time to be earnest in our search.
