Ancient Wisdom For Modern Women

There are many cultures of the world that have their own version of the medicine wheel, the Celts, the North American's, the Australian aboriginal, the South American, African & Norse.

The medicine wheel represents the cycles of life that are constantly spinning and moving. It shows how life evolves and how all of the elements that make up this thing we call life work together towards our unfolding destiny. The circle of the wheel represents interconnectivity of all beings. It teaches us how to align with the natural cycles so we can harmonize that which is out of balance. Each direction has an element which governs an aspect of life i.e. Spiritual, Mental, Emotional and Physical level.

We women have our own ‘cycle of life’ as we grow from child, to maiden, to mother, to queen, to crone (as well as through all of the other archetypes of the feminine principal if we are aware and playful with consciousness!)

When I became aware of this information in my own personal practises I called it 'the medicine wheel of the womb'. 3 years later I found out that the medicine wheel of the womb is an ancient priestess teaching. This is my version, as it came through my ancestors & guides to me. I want to acknowledge that I am an Australian born celtic woman. The indigenous ways of my ancestors were wiped out by the roman empire when they colonized the land that is now called Britain. My celtic grandmothers have been walking with me, taking me deep into the memory of the indigenous ways of celtic women before colonization, this information I am sharing with you is channelled information.

Within the circle of the medicine wheel of the womb we find the knowledge of the spiral of the womb & our journey of womanhood. It reveals key core principals we must master on our feminine energy journey. As we take the journey from princess to queen, we meet every archetype along the way and learn how to weave the elements of air, fire, water, earth, ether. The medicine wheel of the womb holds the keys to unlock a life of deep acceptance, pure potentiality and creative freedom. Where we can truly embrace all of the faces and phases of our journey as woman.

Before we dive into the medicine wheel of the womb, lets take a little journey back in history.....

Lets turn back the clock to the days when women lived in tribe and were not exposed to unnatural lighting and expected to push and strive on a 24 hour cycle. We bled with the moon at the beginning of the cycle, as the moon went from dark to new, from the end of the old to the new cycle.

All of the women in the tribe would go into dream time together, they would celebrate, do ceremony, cry, laugh, pray, nurture, pamper and nourish each other. The men would wait with anticipation for the wisdom that their women folk would bring back for the tribe when they returned. The feminine were celebrated for their menstrual wisdom & feared (respected) for the power that they contained. Which is why it makes sense that the church banned women who were bleeding from attending & why the man folk of the 1800's decided to take away our sacred womens business by making it illegal for midwife's to practice without a male doctor present.... They took away our power because they feared it... Too much power baby!!!

Guess what? The ancient wisdom is back, and now is the time for us to embrace the wisdom and the power of our cycle again!!!! Are you ready?

Side note: If you are not bleeding at the new moon at the moment, there is nothing wrong with you, a lot of hype is going around about us being out of sync if we are not bleeding on the new moon. I'm here to crack that open and give you permission to begin to embrace your cycle, as it is today. We live in a very different society these days and we are in a very different place in the evolution of humanity compared to our ancestors. Which means we all bleed at different times, times that are perfect for us personally, times that are aligned with the wisdom grandmother moon is desiring to illuminate in us for our personal and spiritual growth. We will bleed at the time that is aligned with what we need for our own evolution in the medicine wheel of our own personal life. Today we are looking at the basics to introduce you to the phases and your magic!

Each Direction has an archetype, an element, a moon phase and a correlating phase of our cycle. Our bodies reflect the cycles of the moon. Every month, the moon is dark before she is new, this is one of the most important keys to feminine wisdom. We bleed before we enter the spring energy on day 4 of our cycle. Our cycle begins and ends with our bleed/menses/internal winter whereby for 7 days when we enter the energy of the crone/wise woman phase and allow the old previous cycle to shed, listen to our internal wisdom & prepare for the new phase.

North ~ Crone/Wise Woman ~ Earth

We experience the archetype of the wise woman once a month for a reason. She takes us into the realms of our inner knowing, holds up the lantern of truth to guide us through our shadows & gives us the wisdom we need for the month ahead. This occurs from half way through the luteal phase (around day 25) & continues throughout the whole of our menstruation phase. During this 7-9 day cycle (depending on how long you bleed for) we enter into deep rest and replenishment. This is when our energy is at its lowest, like the Dark/New Moon and the season of winter. We are releasing all of the old that was not needed and making space for the new. It's the 'Beginning' of the coming phase, from the depths of this rest, release & let go we are gifted with the vision to 'see' our lives from a new prospective. With the lantern of truth illuminating everything that works, and everything that no longer works for us.

Take note that we begin with resting, the energy is at it's lowest so we need to prepare for this time by scheduling less into our diaries and engaging in nurturing supportive activities that tap us into the sensitivities that are guiding us home. This is the time when we let go of what was not needed in the previous month. Its happening both physically as our body bleeds the unfertilised egg out. Its happening emotionally as we bleed and let go of what is not serving us, we shed the layers that have been holding us back. And we experience birthing pains, birthing into the fertile soil of our subconscious mind as we enter dream time & dream our deepest desires into being. This is POWERFUL sisters! Your inner wise woman, the dark wild goddess, is powerful beyond belief. She has your back, she will not allow you to ignore your inner truth......... You my darling are not crazy, hyper sensitive, mentally unbalanced, hormonal.... You are wisdom herself, and she is calling you home, to your truth. Our bodies are the key to unlocking our wisdom & our truth. The truth will set you freeeeee!!!

When we create space in our calendar & utilise our hyper sensitivity during our wise woman phase this becomes the most profound time of the month to dream into the month, year, ahead. With the same sanctity we approach the new moon, we can approach our menstrual phase, as it sets us up for the month ahead.

If we prepare in advanced so that our lifestyle support this deep rest & replenishment you will find your weeks and month flow with so much more ease.

It's a good idea to plan ahead think about taking into your wise woman cave your fave foods that nourish you, then choose healthy versions of your comfort foods (e.g cocao, coconut oil, shredded coconut, dried fruit 7& nuts, tahini, and a dash of agave or honey if you are a massive sweet tooth is an EXCELLENT chocolate substitute). Have your meditation on your phone, buy a journal, create a play list on sound cloud or you tube, have a great book, write a list of what you would like to bring with you into your womb cave. What exercise is REALISTIC? Running for 1 hour when your bleeding is not really supportive, but a yin/restorative yoga class is! Or dancing your sensual body around to some soft sexy alluring middle eastern tunes is!

East ~ Maiden ~ Air

We move out of the depths of replenishment feeling 'fresh' revitalised and refocused! We enter the follicular phase when our body starts being flooded with nest building hormones. The uterine wall starts creating a nest for life. We feel awesome as our bodies begin to move towards ovulation. This is the energy of the WAXING MOON, we are inspired, we have been replenished, the seeds of our dreamtime are planted in the fertile soil of this Spring energy, this is the best time to start new projects and create a new approach to the way you do things. To begin our Self Care Inspired Actions! Working with the archetype of Aphrodite during this phase is amazing, she is so sensuous, alive and magnetic!

Start new regimes, initiate new cycle focus with inspired actions, make dates, go shopping, take singing lessons, utilise this amazing fresh energy to invoke how you would like to interact with the coming cycle... Set the wheels in motion for what you want to create this month.

South ~ Mother/Empress ~ Fire

We then enter into the Mother phase 'Pregnancy/Birthing/Nurturing', we are 'pregnant' with our desires, idea's and dreams. We are ovulating. For a lot of women this is manifest as the Earth Empress in all of her glory! Your business idea's will be flowing. Your body is craving a baby (maybe tricking you, be aware of the hormone's influencing you at this time). We become total SQUISH!!!! Love bombs on legs!!!

This is the energy of the FULL MOON & summer, where we naturally want to go out and frolic in life. We feel connected to nature and are celebrating the amazing fruit that is showing up in our life. Our bodies are flooded with hormones and we feel amazing, on fire and able to do so much more than we were able just 14 days ago.

Plan your "peak activities" for the month during the mother/ovulation phase . This is prime time for business activities that need more energy. For getting into your garden and doing the hard yaka, or plan the hard work stuff you've been putting off for this week. Remember to plan to celebrate, socialise... If your holding a party, plan it on the full moon, or when you are ovulating.

West ~ Queen ~ Medicine Woman ~ Water

In our Sacred Women Tribe we refer to this time as "Medicine Woman/Queen". This is the energy of the WANING MOON, Autumn. It mirrors our premenstrual phase/menopausal phase. This is the time when the leaves begin falling back to the earth, the harvest is being reaped from the seasons past & we are preparing for the next season/phase and we become 'extra sensitive', go into the deep rest of winter and the wise woman.

The sensitivities we experience during this time are chemical. We have entered the luteal phase, our body has registered that she has not received seed and the hormones are leaving the nest so to speak. The sensitivities we feel during this time can become our greatest gift if we know how to use them. This is why we work with the "medicine woman and our queen". Your medicine woman knows what she needs, and your queen knows what she wants, like's and doesn't want. She is the ruler of your inner kingdom after all, so get to know her well.

This is the best time to go and see a healer, meditate more, listen to your inner queen. Do the IAM THE OBSERVER MEDITATION and the premenstrual workbook. Take your seat on the throne of your inner kingdom and come from a place of inner mastery. Connect with the medicine woman within who knows how to guide you and lead you towards the healing you are yearning for.

Use the whole month to prepare for this time, this is when most women fall off the bus! This is the time when we can see clearly what is not working, we are being invited to release the clutter in our subconscious minds, to prepare for the new beginning that comes after our bleed.

I can hear you all breathing a sigh of relief..... Yesssss you are normal! You don't need to fit into a rigid structure, in fact {{ subscriber.first_name }} your not meant to, you are here in this feminine body to utilise these incredible energies and flow with the cycles of your body and Grandmother moon. Each sacred cycle we have the opportunity to begin again, each bleed is a new beginning.

Putting this all into practice

So how does this apply to this course and walking with our inner wisdom?"... Sign up for the oracle within here it’s a gift for you

Creative freedom & alignment with our natural cycles vs busyness of activity creates a momentum that is sustainable & breaks the cycle of burnout. We have more time and space for the things that truly fill our cup. We engage in actions that reflect our value, we walk with our head held high in an authentic way because we are conscious participants in our own narrative rather than being washed around by life's constant demands and fear.

When life is our art it becomes effortless to live in the stream of creative freedom. Our visions become reality when we master our feminine energy and the medicine wheel of the womb. We natural spiral towards our soul path and our deepest yesss for life.

Are you the too much woman?

Wisdom Question:

Do you judge your deepest desires as too much, your needs as too much, your way of sharing your truth as too much?  

Too much for whom?

Feeling afraid to appear to be too much is so common, too many humans are afraid to be all that they are because they fear that they will be judged/shamed/pushed away/labelled/told they are not ladylike or ungentlemanly.  What the ACTUAL FUCK? That’s a ticket for all flavours of suppression, pain and limitation. If limitation and suppression are on one side of the coin, flip that coin, because on the other side its freedom & contentment. I hope that this post helps you flip the coin and reclaim your freedom a little more, it’s your birthright to be happy and free to create your life however you want to create it!

We don’t need to look very far back in history to find this subliminal message woven into society: “Don't rock the boat or you will be cast out of society & you will have no value”. I want to invite you to start popping some pockets of consciousness open, to align with a different belief so you can create a different experience for yourself and the generations that come after you.

We have come a really long way, thanks to the men & women who carved the path before us.  Yet we still have so much work to do as a collective.  Which is why it’s important that we have real conversations with ourselves and each other, through witnessing we are then able to change old ways of being that don’t work.  The conversation that you have with yourself is the most important conversation you will ever have right?!

So let’s use the gift of wisdom questions to open up this conversation and deepen our relationship with ourselves.

I’m so excited to be introducing weekly wisdom questions. I will be sending out wisdom questions like this one for you to ponder.  The key is in witnessing yourself so that you can recognise where you may be in self-judgment or resistance to your right now experience. If you can witness the things that come up for you, where you get triggered and start resisting, you can begin to expand your awareness, if you are willing to release old stories the practice of wisdom questions is a super powerful tool. Especially when explored in a circle of potent women, it’s even more amplified to shift and open to greater possibilities. Massive change happens.

Ways to work with the weekly wisdom question:

*Journal

*Pray

*Meditate

*Reflect while you drive the kids to school & do other rockstar mum/partner activities

*Enquire as you express your domesticated goddess excellence

*Take it into your pleasure practice or your lovemaking

*Exercise

Whatever form your flavor of mindfulness takes, explore the crevices of you, be courageous, be real and be willing to be totally imperfect without judgment or a need to fix. Just be, witness and allow.  

Then… After witnessing and allowing, commit to yourself by asking these questions…

What are you ready to move towards? 

What are you letting go of? 

What belief system do you need to have to propel you to move towards your commitment to yourself?

What would it take to release this belief?

How will it feel to have no resistance at all to who you want to be in all of your wildness?

Heres the full poem

Grab a cuppa, a journal, and start Reflecting

Reflect on the things that light you up about this and why. What permission is opening in you reading this?

There she is. . . The “too much” woman.

The one who loves too hard, feels too deeply, asks too often, desires too much.

There she is taking up too much space, with her laughter, her curves, her honesty, her sexuality.

Her presence is as tall as a tree, as wide as a mountain.

Her energy occupies every crevice of the room.

Too much space she takes.

There she is causing a ruckus with her persistent wanting, too much wanting.

She desires a lot, wants everything—too much happiness, too much alone time, too much pleasure.

She’ll go through brimstone, murky river, and hellfire to get it.

She’ll risk all to quell the longings of her heart and body.

This makes her dangerous.

She is dangerous.

And there she goes, that “too much” woman, making people think too much, feel too much, swoon too much.

She with her authentic prose and a self-assuredness in the way she carries herself.

She with her belly laughs and her insatiable appetite and her proneness to fiery passion.

All eyes on her, thinking she’s hot shit.

Oh, that “too much” woman. . . too loud, too vibrant, too honest, too emotional, too smart, too intense, too pretty, too difficult, too sensitive, too wild, too intimidating, too successful, too fat, too strong, too political, too joyous, too needy—too much.

She should simmer down a bit, be taken down a couple notches.

Someone should put her back in a more respectable place.

Someone should tell her.

Here I am. . . the Too Much Woman, with my too-tender heart and my too-much emotions.

A hedonist, feminist, pleasure seeker, empath.

I want a lot—justice, sincerity, spaciousness, ease, intimacy, actualization, respect, to be seen, to be understood, your undivided attention, and all of your promises to be kept.

I’ve been called high maintenance because I want what I want and intimidating because of the space I occupy.

I’ve been called selfish because I am self-loving.

I’ve been called a witch because I know how to heal myself.

And still. . . I rise.

Still, I want and feel and ask and risk and take up space. I must.

Us Too Much Women have been facing extermination for centuries—we are so afraid of her, terrified of her big presence, of the way she commands respect and wields the truth of her feelings.

We’ve been trying to stifle the Too Much Woman for ions—in our sisters, in our wives, in our daughters.

And even now, even today, we shame the Too Much Woman for her bigness, for her wanting, for her passionate nature.

And still. . . she thrives.

In my own world and before my very eyes, I am witnessing the reclamation and rising up of the Too Much Woman.

That Too Much Woman is also known to some as Wild Woman or the Divine Feminine.

In any case, she is me, she is you, and she is loving that she’s finally, finally getting some airtime.

If you’ve ever been called “too much,” or “overly emotional,” or “bitchy,” or “stuck up,” you are likely a Too Much Woman. And if you are. . . I implore you to embrace all that you are—all of your depth, all of your vastness; to not hold yourself in, and to never abandon yourself, your bigness, your radiance.

Forget everything you’ve heard—your too much-ness is a gift; oh yes, one that can heal, incite, liberate, and cut straight to the heart of things.

Do not be afraid of this gift, and let no one shy you away from it. Your too much-ness is Magic, is Medicine. It can change the world.

Don’t believe me? Check this: All of your favourite women, the ones who’ve made history, the ones who’ve lent their voices for change and have courageously given themselves permission to be exactly who they are. Some examples: Oprah, Ronda Rousey, Beyoncé, Kali, Misty Copeland, Janet Mock, Mary Magdalene . . . they’re all Too Much Women.

So please, Too Much Woman: Ask. Seek. Desire. Expand. Move. Feel. Be.

Make your waves, fan your flames, give us chills.

Please, rise.

We need you.

Pisces ~ Tap into the Oracle Within!!

Pisces season begins February 19 beloveds! This means we are being invited into the waters of intuition and womb wisdom. In the medicine woman tarot, the card that rules Pisces is ‘The Grandmothers’ & is ruled by the Moon. Granny!!!!! Granny Moon!

Grandmother moon governs the tides of intuition, emotion, the subconscious mind & feminine cycles. Which means this is the month that we jump into the drivers seat of our life and start driving baby!   When pisces season comes around we are being moved us as a collective to new awarenesses through the subconscious mind.   Tapping into the subconscious mind & being in the drivers seat of our thoughts is the key to creating our life rather than feeling like life is happening to us.

 

All that ever was, will be, or is now is contained within my mind

Pisces season teaches us the immense power that lies within our bodies to create the world that manifests before us.  Learning how to have conversations with ourselves & truly listen to the 'still small voice within' is key to truly knowing oneself. To truly know oneself, and be able to choose ones internal conversation is the difference between ‘life happening to us’ and ‘being an active participant in life by choice’.

Place your hands on your heart or your womb for a moment as you read these words. Within your body you hold all of the answers to all of the questions you need answering right now. Take a breath and invite the knowledge of the entire universe that resides within to make itself known. Follow your breath and watch it light up pockets of awareness. Thoughts, feelings, images, sounds, songs, these are all the subconscious mind providing clues that open the doorway to deep contentment. 

As we calm our minds, learning how to redirect our thoughts with mastery, merging intention and action, choice and free will, we begin to create an environment where our inner answers can become tangibly herd.  The doorway to the entire cosmos opens up within us and we become the magic of life itself.

I’m holding a free course to help you with this its called Oracle Within, register here… It begins February 24th…

Feminine energy & ancient wisdom teach us that we are the portal of life itself, and that it is our unique responsibility to use our thoughts and our bodies to create the reality that manifests before us.  What we think and what we DO in response to this thought determines our experience in the physical reality of tomorrow.

'Trust the body' is the message that comes with the Grandmother Medicine Woman Tarot Card (and the sun sign of Pisces).  Our glorious bodies are responding to every single thought, action, interaction that is presented to us during a day.  Our body is responding/reacting on a subtle level & gives us feedback through feeling response to show us if a situation is right for us.  Your thoughts lay our a blue print, your body tells you what to do moment by moment through feeling response.

 

Does it feel light and expansive? 

We are on track, life is open like a flower, the sun is rising on a path that is light for us.

Does it feel dense and contracting? 

We are receiving signs that what we are investing our time, thought and energy into is not aligned with our highest soul's needs.

Can I ask you a few questions?

How much time do you spend over riding your intuitive guidance? 

Are you making deals with yourself because of attachment or fear of survival?

I have spent way too much time in my life not listening to my intuitive knowing.  Listening to my womb was not a concept that was ever introduced to me until I started to seek for answers as to why I was having such painful and traumatic periods.  What I found was a well of wisdom & knowing and I’m beyond excited to assist you to access yours. Sign up for the course here.

YOU my friend are a portal of power, information & wisdom!!!! Your body is an information receptacle. The sun and the moon beam information, through light, into your mind, your body & especially your womb, every moment of every day. The cosmos is guidance you into for your unique life, every moment of every day, how incredible is this. Which is even more reason why its important to learn how to filter information you are receiving and make pro active choices. Life is not happening TO you, its inviting you to jump in the drivers seat and participate WITH it. 

You came here with a specific frequency, a radio station that is your soul song. And its time to create room for your voice to be valued and nurtured. Starting with you listening to you beautiful. It is time for us all to listen to the still small voice within and to really receive the guidance being offered.

Thought and Action; Will and Movement, these are the things which re organise your bodies cells. Old cells embodying old idea's die & new cells embodying new idea's are born. You are constantly recreating yourself in your own image.

This statement is both profound and scary all at once.  The way we inter react with ourselves determines the person we become tomorrow. 

"If nothing is changing, change your mind instead"

Our creative energy is so powerful that it has to go somewhere.  If we are not utilizing our gifts, talents & making choices that really direct the stream of our creative energy into the world our body will create excess.  This could be in the form of extra body weight, sickness, discomfort, or perhaps an actual human (baby).

When we begin to truly realize how powerful we are to create our world with our thought life, we have unlocked the keys to manifestation & opened the doorway to a creative, free flowing, purpose filled life. 

"My body incorporates my wisdom, love & action and expresses in grace".

Check this little spin on words: imagination - image in. What we image in takes creative energy and turns it into form.  As we imagine, meditate on and reflect, new knowledge is entering our entire body, our cells & our entire experience therein.  Our mental narratives literally become our physical organism (body).

So be radicle! Take up your warrior woman sword & cut away the thoughts & ways of thinking that keep you in limitation.  Make the time to meditate observe and reflect, to ask key questions that will help you identify the prison you may have put yourself inside.  The door is open, the keys are in your hand, perception is the power that sets us free.  (If you are needing assistance with this book a feminine mentoring session)

Our personality has its own desires, as well as the structures & societies ideas about the A-Z steps to success.  Many of us have been educated to by pass the body & just push on like a good kid!!! This is detrimental!!! No wonder sickness, burnout and mental health are prolific in our world today. One of the modules in Oracle within is ‘cycle mapping’ which is learning how to create cycles that bring success. Instead of pushing ourselves and burning out striving for success, no bingo! Nature does not strive to bloom a flower, that becomes fruit, it just allows the cycles of the sun, the moon and the elements to be its guide.

Here are some steps to assist you to find a new way of creating your future outcomes without burning yourself into the ground.  So you can walk to the beat of your own drum and really deepen your relationship with life itself and hear the voice of guidance within you! 

STEPS TO BECOMING A conscious participant in the drivers seat of your life:

1.  CONCEIVE

The best possible reality for yourSelf

2.  BECOME PREGNANT

With the idea's that please and inspired you in the conception phase

3.  GESTATE

Health, wealth and happiness as you personally define them.   Take wonderful self care steps daily to follow through with how you want to be, think, feel and do.

4.  PREPARE

For that which you hope to manifest.  Practicality bebee, write down some preparations for this new phase, perhaps you need to arrange people to help you, or sign up for that course to learn the skills you need to articulate your vision. Hhahahhaaaaa yep sign up here

5.  VISUALIZE

Creative energy flowing towards that which you want to produce. Tap a powerful core & use it.

6.  FILL

The mind with success stories that turn you on.  Open to other peoples wisdom, ask questions, enquire, read.  Open yourself to the culture & age you most identify with.  Atlantean? Pleiadian? Middle Ages? Renaissance? The Fairy Kingdom?  Ancient Cultures? Modern Funk?  The Bohemian Dream?  Biz King/ Queen Chick?  Nomad Gypsy God/dess? Go there with your thoughts, allow fantasy to take you there, let your inner being become aroused to remember all that is available in this infinite universe of possibility.

7.  LOOK HIGH

To the Gods/Goddess's that you are drawn to, that evoke the qualities that you are drawing into your life.  Know that all of these universal blue prints are within you as well, tapping into your inner wisdom means tapping into the infinite well of consciousness that is available to you.

8.  ACT

On the impulses that come that put you closer to your goal.  Action through your body is the final processor of your creative mind.  Doing is the birthing experience.

9.  CELEBRATE

The creation is real, the idea has become flesh, our Spirit is embodied.  Relax and Enjoy!!! 

Every woman who heals herself helps heal all the women who came before her, & those who will come after her. Christine Northrup.

Lets take a moment to honour our Grandmothers, to remember them...

For teaching me not to take shit from anyone, to walk with grace and confidence, to be a prayer filled woman who takes it to the sacred chamber of my heart first. Thank you for teaching me to be compassionate and kind & to choose the life that I want to live... Thank you for gifting me my mum and my dad... Blessed be your wombs and all of the wombs of those who come after us...
