Breathing to sensitize the body
Day 4: Sensitizing the Body Lunar Cycle
Creating deep awareness around what you are doing rather than mindlessly exercising is a huge benefit of yoga.
Day 3 of Sensitizing the Body Lunar Cycle
As we continue our journey through yoga, remember to breath. Be in your body, going into the tightness of the muscles, feeling your body movements and allowing your body to release all that is has been holding onto. This video is a part of a larger project that will be a Daily Devotional to the Divine Feminine as well as a daily planner. Join in patreon.com/magicalmothering to receive exclusive content and be a part of the community of women that are creating space for mysticism, a spiritual practice through rhythm and ritual.
Sensitizing the Body Lunar Cycle- Day 2
Through yoga and movement we will be creating intentions for Sensitizing the body. This lunar cycle is to get us back into connection with our bodies so that we can create intentions from a place of full awareness.
New Moon- Sensitizing the Body Lunar Cycle
For the next 28 days we will be doing a daily yoga session to help get us back into our bodies and re-sensitized to what is needed.
Nature as a Role Model for Releasing
Nature gives us so many valuable insights into releasing. Take some time to be in nature today to experience those with our Divine Feminine teacher!
The Energy you Receive from Releasing!
As I opened my grip on holding onto certain desires, ideas; a wave of energy came through me!
Inspiration for Release!
I shared some aspects in which I am releasing in my own life
Allowing the Release!
Releasing is equivalent to birthing.
The loss of Innocence and our sovereignty
Our childlike wonder and innocence will help us regain our sovereignty. The vibration of innocence can tap into a wonder and magic that we didn't know was missing but can reclaim our power.
What is a way to create sovereignty for yourself today?
Sovereignty is the act of being sovereign or having control over yourself.
Ritual creation with Mother Earth
Setting intentional habits is my definition of a ritual. Creating those to receive more of the divine feminine from the Mother Earth herself is the best way to create this space!
Playing in the Divine Feminine
At what point did you become so serious? What did you inner child do to give up play and become serious?
Divine Feminine in Ritual- Creating Intentional choices
Instead of being in Action and Planning- Shifting into a space of Ritual (intentional actions) and Rhythm -
Finding the word for being in Action in the Divine Feminine
Our vocabulary is heavy on the masculine so finding a way to create space for being in movement, our natural inclinations, following our intuition, urges, or desires?? Help share some new vocabulary!
Happy New Year! Creating from a place of Gratitude
Setting intentions from a place of gratitude and awe verses want and desire! The vibrational difference will bring in the magic!
Nature- Mother Earth and The Sun as our Mystical Union Guides!
Duality is not always perfect 50% of each. I have found that because of the extreme of masculine energy in the world today, in my own life I need more Divine Feminine to balance that which is outside of me.
How the Mystical Union can Create Pure Bliss!
When we allow for duality to be a part of the whole the aspect of the thing in entirety becomes valuable. It is like only seeing a coin as its heads or tails but missing out on the fact that the coin is actually valuable in and of itself.
StoryTime! Inanna's Descent- A Journey into the Underworld
An ancient Sumerian story of the Queen of Heaven, Inanna- journeys into the underworld and is stripped of her "ME" the articles that give her divine authority. We each go through our own journey of stepping away beliefs, objects, things that we have held onto thinking they were helping us. Yet once they were removed we were able to see clearly those in our lives as well as the importance we placed on things that didn't hold as much weight as we once thought.
Looking for the Extremes!
The new year, waxing crescent moon is the time of rebirth, setting new intentions and gearing up for a brand new year! Creating awareness around our own extremes allows us to notice and not create from this place but from a place of mystical union!
Solstice- New Moon- Mystical Union Lunar Cycle!
The oppositional forces have been so strong this year! It is time to bring in this next lunar cycle with a union of these forces to create a shift in our inner world, transforming our outer world!
Accessing the Celestial Realm to Fully live the Human Experience!
We have so many resources, guides, and options available to us from the Celestial Realm!!! It is time to access them so that we can fully live out the experience that we came here to live!
There is something very human about being human!
This is a magical experience, being human! At times we forget this, but take today to remember that you are the creatrix of your reality!
Doubting Your Magic?
We have times, especially during the holidays, when we just give to the point of exhaustion. This is a sure fire way to doubt your magic. Shifting into receiving verses give/take is reframe that can shift your vibration and your energy!
Our vibrations attracts entities and narcissistic individuals!
Social Media can trigger us, especially this time of year. It can lower our vibrations- allowing entities and narcissistic behavior to be attracted to us!
Celebration- A Very Human Experience
A jumping out of our skin celebration is something that is fleeting as adults but doesn't need to be non existent!
Elemental Gratitude
Acknowledging all that we have to be in gratitude for from nature and the elements today! Go out and enjoy nature today!
What if there was no good or evil?
Everything from my childhood nightmares shifted in a moment after I did this healing session on myself!
Do you feel that you were meant for more?
So many women I talk to, share that they felt, especially when they were younger that they were here to be more, famous, a ruler, or powerful. They see where they are in their life now, and often feel they are far from that. So where does mysticism come into play with these desires?
To Whom are you giving your power??
We have been submitting to a power greater than ours, yet we hold the greatest power within! Making ourselves less than so we think we can get something from a source greater than ourselves!!
In what ways are you trying to stay safe, warm and comfortable?
In order to go on an adventure you have to step out of the comfort zone at times? In what ways are you keeping the adventure of your desires away?
Protecting, shielding and Expanding your auric field while out and about
There are so many ways to use your aura and your spirit guides to create space for yourself, and to create a shift in your community
Clearing and Maintaining your Auric Field
Checking in with your auric field, can you sense if there are any holes, drains, grey spots, or leaks that are occurring there? And where are they located?
Sickness as an entity!
What if we started separating ourselves from our pain, illness, disease. Not allowing them to be a part of WHO we are, but an entity that is feeding off of us!
Creating intentional rituals and taking responsibility for your life!
Seasons of life call for different rituals in life- creating time to be present in play is vital especially for those of us with little children.
The playfulness of BEING in Connection to the Celestial Realm
When we get into the ritual of connection it can shift our entire lives into an act of PLAY!
Play is way to Remember our Magic!!
Play is the magic piece to getting our magic back!
With embodiment comes the Wisdom
We are not here on this earth to just relive our childhoods out over and over again, we are here to gain the wisdom through those experiences, which only comes through embodiment
Anger and Resentment- what is buried underneath?
Often times the most important question is buried under these feelings, but what terrifies us the most is receiving the answer.
Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address- Greetings to the Natural World
Today we give thanks- not to our things but to all who supports and gives us life
Dark Moon- New Moon- Celestial Lunar Cycle
Connecting with our spirit guides, ancestors, and goddesses.
Going into rest!
Living out the rebirthing process with the rest cycle!
Productivity equals value- running an outdated program!
Constantly staying busy by keeping up with the value of the things around us, rather than honoring what our magical selves is calling us to be!
Being present to our magical selves- huge download!
duality, us vs them, this has been why I have been stuck!!
What is the culture we are ushering in called???
Goddess culture, nature culture...verses lifestyle patriarchal culture
When the neurodivergent wakes up to what's around them!
Doom boxes, OCD, holiday inspiration and dissociation.
Nueurodivergents and Dissociation!
There is a solution to dissociation, but sometimes we are aware of our need for it!
Curiosity and its ability to alchemize our reality!
Letting go of control is easier by replacing it with curiosity!
Continuing the conversation around copy cats/ authentic self/ lifestyle culture
Being a trend setter is something that influencers around the globe enjoy doing, yet the missing component is the authentic self when others copy or imitate.
Why am I triggered by someone copying me?
That feeling when you are triggered and you must get to the root of it! This episode has me processing out loud and doing inner child work.
