You feel like crap but put on a smiley face. Can you relate?
At our all-women’s plant medicine ceremony retreat a few weeks ago, I was checking in on Jody. Spirit guided me to ask, “How are you doing?” and her response was, “I’m good”.
As a shamaness, one of my gifts is to hear guidance from the plant medicine spirits.
They spoke to me so I stopped and looked deep into her eyes. I asked, ‘Is that what you always say even though inside you aren’t good?’
The tears welled up as she nodded her head. As I continued to eye gaze with her, I could see a sense of relief that somebody could actually see that, that she wasn’t in a good way. This was the teaching of the medicines coming forth.
I was guided to bring through light language, drumming, do rapé (another type of plant medicine) with her. This helped her release the energies that had her putting on the mask and saying all was well when that wasn’t true.
Afterward, she went off into nature for a while and released her backpacks of burdens, and gave herself permission to start aligning with her true soul’s desires.
Can you relate? When someone who cares about you asks, ‘How are you?’ and you respond: I’m good.
How often do you say good when you are actually exhausted, unhappy, frustrated, angry lonely, sad, etc.?
I think many can relate but even more so, women. A big part of that is so many women are disconnected from their wombs. Your womb is where your emotions reside as well as your wants, needs, desires, and wishes.
So when you aren’t connected to your womb, then you aren’t connected to your emotions or desires. This can bring on the ‘I’m good’ response when really you aren’t.
Time to change that and give yourself the time, space, and permission to discover what your true desires are.
Our emotions give us lots of clues around that but we have to be in touch with them. All of this happens by connecting, reclaiming, opening, and activating your womb.
These are some of the areas that we will be diving into this coming weekend for the women’s plant medicine retreat: Unlock the Treasures of Your Womb.
There are just 2 days left to register by midday on Thursday and just a few spots left.
If your womb is calling you to this, here’s an invitation to read and watch the short videos about the retreat here: Unlock the Treasures of Your Womb.
Feel free to send me an email or you can text me at 303-564-1210 if you’re keen and want to learn a bit more.
Many blessings,
