Dear Wild Woman,
Today is the second Full Moon of 2018 and it’s not only a Full Moon, but happening early this morning there is a SUPER BLUE BLOOD MOON ECLIPSE. Meaning that it is: a Super Moon (when the Moon is at its closest point to the Earth), a Blue Moon (the second Full Moon within one calendar month), and a Blood Moon (when the moon is in total eclipse and appears reddish in color because it is illuminated by sunlight filtered and refracted by the Earth’s atmosphere). Wowza!
This Full Moon also means we are halfway through our “In My Bones” Cycle. This Moon Cycle is the fifth cycle in our year long series, In the Flesh, where we are exploring all the ways we can feel more deeply embodied. We are exploring what happens when we stop asking ‘how do I look?’ and begin asking ‘how do I feel?’.
This is a perfect time to check in with your body & your New Moon Intentions. Ask in: How are you feeling? How are things unfolding? What is stirring in you? What are you learning? Rather than having this be a primarily intellectual pursuit, see if you can tune into your whole body & feel into the answers.
To honor this midpoint of our cycle we asked the Circle Leaders of The Wild Woman Project, “What is one truth you hold in your bones, no matter what is happening in your inner and outer life?”
I know in my bones I am whole. And that my wholeness expands and becomes part of an even greater whole when in authentic and loving community. I know that on my bones.
I know in my bones that my intuition is strong. I know her purpose is to guide me along my authentic path. I know that fear steps in from time-to-time but ultimately, it is within my beautiful, wise bones that my intuition is strong, full of love and will overpower my fear.
In My Bones
In my bones
Fragile and Tender
Aching from memories
Both past and future
Healing themselves
Despite
The strain and
The torture
I put them through because
I thought
There was no other way
I was young
And confused and
Scared
And
I still am
I suppose
In my bones
Feral and Feeling
The weight of all
That youth
Behind me
Under me
Standing on top of it
A mountain I’ve conquered
Surveying and surviving and sending
That message to my heart
From my bones
Sturdy and Sensitive
Knowing all they have seen
And ready for the next hill
In spite of the fear
In spite and in spirit
In my bones
I know
I am always here
I always was
Becoming
Deep in this marrow
Coursing and pulsing
Press on, press on
In my bones
I press on
I’m my bones I know, that my life matters and I’m making a difference for the good in this world. ♡
I know I can stand on my own. Releasing co-dependency
Deep down in my Bones, I know I am Loved & Protected.
The one truth in my bones, is to love myself, allow myself to feel what I feel…to accept and be patient with what my body is telling me. If I’m happy, share it. If I’m sad, don’t hold back the tears. If I’m frustrated, allow that to come though. Always look to the sky, through the trees. From the roots. Where they grow deep, where there is that deep strength…from the bones.
One truth that is resonating in my body and bones: that angels are real. Really real. That our mothers are with us.
I know in my bones that I am enough, I am loved, and I am supported. I know we all are. And when I am living too much on the outside of myself and forget I dive in deep deep deep and I remember.
I know in my bones that within the Heart of every human being is a light that is capable of such brilliance and radiance. The more we connect to this inner-light and build our resilience, the more radiant we become even in the face of our most challenging adversity. In my bones, I know that a radiant heart makes a radiant person, and a radiant person is divinely MAGNETIC drawing to themselves the infinite possibilities from the infinite intelligence of the Universe. It is a powerfully creative energy I can feel IN MY BONES!
In my bones, I KNOW there is always so much more!!
In my bones I know that love is everywhere, anywhere and always present.
I know in my bones that I am on the right path.
In my bones, I crack open every day.
What sweetness flows out of me
is the culmination of my wisdom
my palm opens
I release what does not serve
all 200 something of them
sing with the vibration of ancient love
sturdy and knowing
they will outlast me
but not the sacred space we have created here
Deep down in my bones, I know…. that I am creating a movement of love. A movement of unconditional love and acceptance; a love that does not judge or shame or ask for justification. It is a love that simply calls to the heart of another and asks it to come out, full, bare, and beaming into the collective light so that anything that is not pure Truth can melt away. It is a love that creates space for one to anchor into and explore the vastness of this experience we call Life so that authentic co-creation begins to emerge, with abundance.
What I know in my bones is that all is well. Whenever I’m reminded that I have zero control of outcomes and any expectations I haven’t let go of have gone unmet…all is well. When my world of zipping by at warp speed and I can’t keep up, I stop, and then I say “all is well”. When my heart is broken and I’m sad and the tears flow like a river, I sit with my sadness and remind myself that all is well, and this is a temporary situation. In any moment of joy, stress, sadness, anxiety, my mantra “all is well” saves me from doubting my inner wisdom, releases me from an murmuring that I might be alone, and holds me in safety that I am with the Divine and all really is well.
Deep in my bones I know I am on the right path, the universe unfolds in a way where the outcome is what you are calling for from deep within your wild soul. There may be a few roads that don’t go your way but they always seem to wind back to where you need to be and what is best for you.
Deep in my bones, I know I am not alone, no matter how lonely I may feel. Be it my Sisters, Angels, Mother Earth, Humanity…we are all one, walking each other home.
This much I know …..
– I am deeply aware of how my bones resonate the truth of WHO I AM – the bless and the mess.
– My bones are the foundations of my physical body where I reside in my inner home.
– My bones know what is best for me.
– I just need to remember to listen
Deep in my bones I know I was born of wildness. With galaxies in my heart, rivers in my veins and fire in my eyes.
Your Turn!
