When I entered my training in Shamanism I consciously decided to lessen my exposure to the news. I use the word lessen because I live with a former political journalist, yes, it’s my husband. So, he has a bit of a different belief around the news.
This practice has influenced my life profoundly.
I intellectually knew the subtle messages we take in through the news, marketing and even falling into the unconscious role of scrolling through social media. So I decided I would track this in myself.
I profoundly noticed how less overwhelmed I felt. I could finally hear my own perspective and discern what served my highest self and when I was making a choice due to influence. I realized how often I would seek a decision I needed to make from outside of myself thinking I needed confirmation from someone else. I actually was quite conscious of when and how I asked those closest to me for guidance. I asked for their help, intentionally.
I share this part of my tracking experience because one thing I realized most intimately is how much I desire to create a community of women who seek a deeper connection with this part of themselves as well. My creative juices started to flow and Wild Soul Gatherings was born. Here is a link to Wild Soul Gatherings for more info.
Now, sustaining from the news doesn’t get all the praise here. When a woman experiences the mid-life initiation it can literally feel like a re-birth. There are times I have felt like I’ve been watching myself change, grow, shift into a new person and it was quite painful at times. I felt so alone. I sought out A LOT of information hoping there was a shorter path. When I spoke with some friends about what I was experiencing I would hear “ya, me too”, but there was still some emotion or a part of myself that kept asking for my attention.
Ah, ha someone else’s confirmation wasn’t what I was looking for…. What I really wanted was women who also wanted support going deeper within. They could feel like they had never allowed themselves to live their own life, unapologetically. Their soul is begging to live its big purpose! Deep connection with ourselves and others is what we ALL deeply seek.
Yes, the physical symptoms are real and I took the natural path as much as I could through Ayurveda and Herbalism training. And, I will definitely be sharing this medicine as well.
