SOUL FOOD

5 Ways to be Free

(or The Path of Sovereignty Begins with…)

There is a call that exists in the hearts of many self-identified wild women I know. The call is urgent. A deep desire. A Sacred need.

It is the call of sovereignty. That is, a desire to be self-governed and free.

I understand this desire to be divinely placed in the hearts of women, because, frankly, it is time. It is time for women to do the work of trusting their guidance, taking inspired action & utilizing their gifts, without hesitation or apology.

For too long, the world has felt the absence of the mysterious nature of the divine feminine. And in the absence of her guidance, her ritual, her unique understanding, her divine creativity, there has been great damage done to our earth, great inequality built into the very structure of civilized world. It is our responsibility as humans living on the planet today, especially as women, to allow the power of the divine feminine to unfurl in us: Her creativity, her compassion, her understanding of the great family on earth. If we want to birth a new world, we cannot do so without calling upon the feminine expression of the divine.

As each individual woman, wakes up and claims her sovereignty, the wisdom of the feminine will come to balance the scales. Some of us will be called into activism, some into healing work, some into conscious art, some into board rooms, some into conscious mothering, the list goes on.

If we can have one eye on our own freedom and the other on the freedom of others, we will be able to embody the divine feminine in our own lives, on our own paths.

But where do we begin? How does it start?

 Here are 5 ways you can begin to unlock your sovereignty, for the greater good.

1.  Create an intimate relationship with your inner guidance. This is the great relationship of your lifetime-do your best to cultivate trust, nourishment and ease here. Once you are married to your guidance, you have the foundation for an extraordinarily authentic life.
2. Work on your comparison habit. We all do it: compare ourselves to others. We imagine someone else’s relationship, business, art, house, bank account as greater or less then ours. This line of thinking, while common, is an imprisonment of life force and creativity. The truth is your mission on this earth is wholly (and holy) unique. While you may have some overlap with others, your combination of purpose, interests, relationships, body & gifts are replicated in no one. Consult your inner guidance on how best to work through feelings of comparison (i.e.: therapy, spiritual study, meditation, etc.). Inner guidance often leads us into unexpected places, so listen well & trust.
3. Operate with the patience of mother earth. Take one step at a time. In working with your inner guidance you will get visions of a completed project, or a certain relationship, or location. Most of the time in our “larger” visions, there are plenty of steps and great learning to be had on our way to birth of that vision on the physical plane. Savor in each step as each is preparing you to hold the new reality, your vision, with grace and skill.
4. Remember we are only as free as the least free one of us. This one is not for the faint of heart. Watch the tendency to live in a bubble very closely. Have the courage to look into the faces of those with less freedom than you. It is in the awareness of the whole, that we heal this great family, this great earth.
5. Explore Spiritual Practice. Spiritual Practice is a place where one goes to dust off the heart, to clear the unwanted fingerprints the world has left on upon us, and to tune into deep inner guidance. There is no supplement for practice. This is how we strengthen inwardly. Many traditions use reading of sacred texts, meditation, breathwork, physical practice, prayer, repeating of sacred sounds, gathering in sisterhood/brotherhood, song, walks in nature, inquiry, etc. If you have a spiritual practice, practice. If you do not, ask your guidance, “What spiritual path would be the most useful for me at this time.” Listen. Then find a class, group, CD, book. Then begin, dear one, begin.

Your freedom begins within: your inner perceptions, your inner dialogue, your feelings, your habits, your words, your truth, your willingness to be free.

Go forth, and seek sovereignty.

:::Note: If you are serious about your sovereignty & want a sister-guide on the path, I would be honored to help you. Check out the 40 Day Wild Woman Transformation Here.:::

WILD WOMAN CELEBRATION

After her 40 Day WILD WOMAN TRANSFORMATION:

“I am really grateful for having taken this 40 day journey with Chris.

She has an incredible way of identifying your needs and really gets down to business from Day 1. I have learned many things thanks to her, but most importantly I have learned how to accept and love myself, to really take care of myself. Sometimes the only thing keeping us from being truly happy is our relationship with ourselves. The work done on this 40 day transformation is a lesson that will last a lifetime.”
