Flowing fears...

Unhooking the survival emotions from the body so the heart can lead. We need this more than ever right now. We are in a collective vortex of fear and it’s sweating through our psyche and hearts like a tsunami, flooding inner systems and triggering trauma brain. Whatever the truth is, it lies within the heart. And, truth always aligns with Life - it is life giving not life taking. Fear is not love; fear is not truth. Fear offers information to be questioned with the heart. Dropping down and in, not up and out. I’ve been saying this from the beginning of these strange times: unquestioned and unacknowledged fears will enslave the soul and heart. There is a way out and it’s not through tighter rules and restrictions that go against human nature. We have long ago separated from our instinctive knowing; it is time to return to our true nature. But we cannot do this when we are bound in fear.

What a surprise to see my book amongst these other gems! Thank you for valuing my work. 💓

I’ve been quiet these past few months. Not because I don’t have anything to say, rather, because I have too much to say.

Learning discernment. Always a skill to be honed in on.

Much has occurred since this past March. So much change. Collapse. Incubating. Listening. Emerging.

I often open my book randomly to read what I wrote because it’s medicine for my soul too.

What does the 'feminine rising' really mean?
Does it mean that we get to hide behind our screens and read inspiring books, in hopes that someone out there will inspire the change that is being asked of us? No, of course not. It requires our action and attention.
The feminine rising (which is what I wrote about in Midwifery For the Soul) is not some trend that looks pretty on IG.
It is hard bloody work to sift through your interior world, navigating all the unresolved emotional debris, embodying the felt experience, and cracking open the heart centre so that it can lead.
Without the heart leading, we are being governed by fear.
The feminine rising is dangerous.
Dangerous to the dominant narratives. Dangerous to the old ways of knowing. Dangerous because it is seen to be rebellious. And, in this rising rebellious energy is the power to destroy through hearts knowing.
What about the rebel is dangerous?
We do not like it when anyone challenges our deeply embedded beliefs. Beliefs that give rise to the lens through which we see, feel, hear, and behave. Most beliefs are unconscious, imprinted, and/or founded upon unquestioned fears.
The power of the feminine energy, which is the power of the soul energy, is fierce, chaotic, wild, instinctive, alive, creative, ferocious, intuitive, passionate, and unpredictable.
It is not logical. And, in the lack of logic it is utterly dismissed.
I hear the musings of the rising feminine throughout social media platforms. And I hold the question: Do you know what it takes to 'rise in your feminine power'?
It takes a willingness to look at our deepest fears and sit in the destabilizing energy of such. it takes a willingness to hold our deepest pains (collective and personal) and stay present to the heart. It requires that we anchor into the earth while wild fires run through our bodies, burning away all of our historical trauma. It takes a knowing that there is purpose in the pain. And, it requires that we step outside of our need to control and let this inner force awaken us.
There is nothing passive or mental about the rising feminine. It is embodied soul work that is messy, scary at times, and worth every tear shed.

Midwifery for the Soul testimonial...

“.. It’s life changing. Your words and your journey have the capacity to help others heal and become free. I think that one of the things I appreciate most about your book is that it’s accessible. It’s a tricky, scary subject - the trickiest - uncovering and tending our souls deepest wound (f**k) but you inspire me to keep reading, to keep going deeper - I feel called to do the work! I’m compelled by your words. I can’t tell you how many time I’ve bought a self help book (I hate to use that label) and felt paralyzed by it. Thank you for doulaing me on this journey. As I scratch the surface a little deeper from what started with our conversation on the beach last summer. I realize that yet again the universe has put people, books, experiences... in my path to support/guide me and I’m so grateful to you .”
So grateful to hear these precious words and receive them as a gift.
DM me and I will mail you books directly!

I awoke to another lovely blog post by my dear friend Katharine in which she wrote:
"I believe that I, we, are walking the most significant Camino of our lives. For our lives. For Life."
Amen.
Thank you for calling it out so that I do not feel so alone. Thank you for naming that which I am experiencing, daily.
I understand that we are all experiencing this time of COVID crisis uniquely.
Some of you are enjoying the break from life as you knew it. Some of you are finding great inner peace. Some of you have not noticed much of a shift. Some of you are hopeful that the planet will heal itself.
Some of you are fearful of the virus. Some of you are devastated financially. Some of you are focused on continuing business as usual (sort of). Some of you are overwhelmed by care taking children and home schooling. Some of you are stuck in the uncertainty of these times. Some of you are convinced that good is going to reign.
Some of you are holding a vision of the new story that wants to be born. Some of you are terrified that more civil liberties will be violated and revoked. Some of you are glued to the media reports, waiting to be told it is safe now to resume to 'normal'.
Some of you are just getting by. Some of you are questioning everything. Some of you are questioning nothing.
I however, find myself in the grief of that which is dying.
What is dying?
What is being grieved?
These are the questions I have been holding.

I believe that naming ‘what is dying’ is important, otherwise, I fear it will be bypassed and we will go back to thinking and behaving in the old ’normal’ ways. We will have missed the opportunity.
So I am bringing to the forefront the death of all that we/I knew, collectively and individually.

I am naming that which is dying. I am opening my heart and eyes to it all. I am breathing it into my soul. And when I waver, which I often do, I look to nature to remind me that death is an inevitable part of the cycle of regeneration.
The new story lives in the regenerative soil.

“evil. When we start dismantling, or attempting to dismantle evil, we are bound to find ourselves sucked into a dark abyss of soul. My mind yearned to understand why evil existed in the first place. Further, why on earth would our human form be thrown into a field of trauma? It seemed like a sick cosmic joke–or a grueling training of sorts. Training for what? The deeper I went in, the more I could soul-see the mess we are in. And the more disempowered I felt to do anything about it. Seriously, I am just a spec. One cell in a huge sea of cells. What could I possibly do to lift the veil on trauma? Sure, learning about the nervous system and how it stores trauma is empowering and insightful. However, restoring our nervous system back to health and coherence is not the end result. There is more. A healthy nervous system helps you go deeper, and that depth is the territory of the Soul. The quest, as I have come to know it, is to liberate oneself from the cords of trauma so to release the soul from the wheel of suffering. However, let us not forget that unprocessed trauma devastates and impoverishes the soul. Few consciously choose to dive into this vast landscape; and few know how to navigate their interior world. Truly, a world unto itself. To speak about trauma, we must first enter the womb. If you are here, on this earth, your primary environment was that of the dark womb. The world of water and sound. You were breathed into form. The spacious buoyancy and swooshing of the great Mothers’ waters; The sacred home of stillness–The womb.”

You can Find my Live shout out in my stories today, i’d love to hear from YOU.
🙏
I am calling on the Feelers. No not the healers, not the intuitives, not the psychics, not the light beings, not the highly sensitive… The Feelers. You know who you are. You may be all of those things listed above too, but foremost you live the felt experience. You enter the dark womb and you embody all that is. If this is you, I call you to gather. We need you more than ever right now. We need the fullness of what you are feeling and we need your strength to stay with this, in presence. As a feeler myself, I have a sense of what you might be going through. Look we are in unstable, chaotic times with no real end in sight. And those of us who feel it, know exactly what I mean when I say that the amount of emotional energetic information that is needing to be digested and discharged, through the body, is horrendous right now. We are being asked to transmute an incredible amount of collective and personal emotional information, in particular fear, that is pumping throughout the world. Sometimes we get confused as to who’s emotional material we are moving – especially right now. As a feeler, I am tuned in and plugged in to what is unfolding. I am not separate from it, I cannot simply expand my consciousness and disconnect from the embodied experience. It is as if I am feeling the collective labour, and for the most part, it is dysregulated. Now more than ever, we are being asked as Feelers to stay with the felt experience without attaching our personal narrative to it. This is the gift of embodiment. ❤️
