As the tide swells and intensifies in this time of upheaval, it becomes more and more urgent to tend to the Feminine.
After centuries of patriarchy, we women are in process of gathering lost fragments of our bodies, hearts, and souls and knitting ourselves back together.
The Feminine… as women are in dire need of:
healing
empowerment
and awakening.
Because of patriarchy, so much of who you are as a woman has been cut out and dismembered. Your voice. Your body. Your power. Your sacredness.
And your womb — the living well of your femininity, fertility, and creativity.
When a woman’s womb isn’t healed, she can have physical and emotional health issues. She may not be able to access pleasure and desire. She may not be able to create — and this is not only children. She may not truly know and embody who she is as a woman.
Women’s wombs have the same energies of fertility as Mother Earth. Your womb is a portal to Shakti—the creative Force of the Universe. Ironically (or not so ironically), the most hallowed place in our bodies is the most violated.
Women have huge amounts of wounding, shame, fear, guilt, and taboo on a cellular level in their wombs, and about their sensuality and sexuality.Whether or not they’ve experienced sexual trauma. In ancient times of the Goddess, it was commonly known that our wombs and vaginas were honored places of great pleasure, ecstasy, mystery, and connection to the Divine. Yes, sexuality and sacredness was integrated then. We need to rediscover and embody this ancient wisdom for ourselves.
I will be offering a 4-month “Womb and Sexual Healing” Program next month.
In preparation, I asked Mother Mary: What is sensuality?
Here’s what she said.
What is sensuality?
Sensuality is the deliciousness of your body. The most important language your body knows is sensuality. You are animal. You have an animal body and you must get in touch with that to love yourself.
There are so many who are religious or spiritual but hate their bodies. This separation causes disease, causes emotional sickness. You see animals don’t get depressed unless we expose them to human conditions like caging. When you are wild in your body, sensual in your body, your energy moves and you can process the stresses of life quicker. Your sensuality is as divine as a flower, as supple as the movement of a cat, as natural as flowing water. Why would you deny it? Why would you deny a flower? A wild animal? A stream? Their simple naturalness and beauty.
When you are sensual, you are in touch with your life force, with shakti, and you are not in your mind but in the sacredness of your being, of your body. So many people think they must separate body from Spirit, that Spirit is sacred and body is to be denied or is unholy. Nothing can be further from the truth.
Your body is the temple of your Soul. If your body is not made temple, your Soul will not enter. Your temple must be beautiful, clean, fresh, alive, with the elements, and must enjoy itself, and love itself, and have every pleasure and physical beauty. Just as any space you go to, whether it’s your home, a spa, a store, any place that is beautifully decorated makes you feel different. And that is how you need to be with it.
Decorate it. Decorating from the inside for no other reason than to enjoy. And yes, this too, for there are so many different kinds of sensuality. This is essential for a woman and for any person. The sickness is to go into your mind and leave your body. The sickness is to betray your body, the pleasure of sensuality, and beautiful grace and movement. The betrayal is to not enjoy yourself.
You get there in many ways. Through your breath, the sensuality of your breath. Through movement. Through bringing your attention into your body, especially the places you hate, deny, that have been shut down. When you bring pleasure into your body you’re alive. You have the ease and grace of an animal, the magnetism of power. Your sensuality is the Divine Feminine.
Know me in this way, and you will know God and the Goddess. Claim your body. Claim your beauty. Claim your sensual desires and pleasures. They are holy. No less holy than the God in a church, an idol in a temple, a slab in the mosque, or whatever you pray to.
So put your sensuality up on the altar. Until you know me in this way you are not yet fully whole.
I am deeply troubled by the current racist violence and inhumanity. The heat of my own internalized racism and racism has been rising up, like fire on my skin. I know as a woman of color and an immigrant that my self-worth is very connected to this issue.
So I went into prayer and meditation this morning, and asked Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene for guidance. This is what came through which I want to share with you.
Dearest Mary,
Please help me heal my judgement towards myself of my color and my race, and my judgment of others’ color and their race. It is so deep in my cells. Please help me release this. Please help me raise my head high and to speak my truth of what I know, with love.
Please help me release my negative feelings and beliefs towards white people, and all that they have done over the centuries. I’ve probably been white, too, in past lifetimes.
If you have any words of wisdom or guidance or healing, I would love to receive.
Dear One,
I am with you.
This is a pain and a thinking that you hold that you and the world holds not only in their minds but in their cells and in their very bones. This system of racism, of believing one is more valuable than another is abhorrent. This points to a great need of growth for humankind.
Mother Earth is angry.
People are angry, and rightly so, for this must be corrected to move forward, to evolve. It is essential for each person to clear in their eyes, in their minds, in their hearts, in their bodies, and their Souls this hatred and fear of a different race.
This separation, these judgments, these beliefs of who is better than are sins. This is grievous, grievous, erroneous thinking.
It sets you up to be enemies. It sets you up to war against each other.
Most of all, it sets you up to prevent from loving yourself.
And from receiving love from others.
With this kind of hate you will forever be impoverished in some form or fashion. And this impoverishment, and this disease of racism will find its way to you as long as you keep this hate, hold on to this hate and otherness.
It will come to you as disease. It will come to you as pestilence. It will come to you as it has in the current virus. It will come to you as a lack of love, as broken families, as a broken life, as a poverty of comfort.
What humankind does not know, or most of humankind does not know, is that what you do and how you think about another boomerangs to yourself.
Right now there is a somewhat legal system although that is greatly, shall we say, faulty. But the true legality exists on an energetic and a spiritual level. That what indeed you think about, say about, feel about, and do to another from hatred, from judgment, with anger, and violence will, without a doubt, return back to you personally. To your life. You and you alone are responsible. It is not whether you are caught in the act. It does not matter if nobody sees the act or the thought or the feeling. That is not what is accounted for here. There is a higher law. The Law of Karma — of cause and effect. What you do, think about, say about, and feel about another will boomerang back to you.
Most of humankind does not know this, does not live by this. It is an area of growth direly necessary. You are all in the throes of this. There will be suffering. There will be upheaval. There will be pain. There will be death. But you are in the churn of it all.
You can choose to be in the churn of it. But the fastest way out from this churn is to look inside yourself.
Look inside your mind for your own judgments.
1. First, about yourself.
How do you see yourself in comparison with people who look different from you? How do you feel about yourself? How do you hold the color of your skin? What is the value or the devalue that you give it?
How you hold this is a stance. And like any stance, it has a vibration that can be changed, as you know, in an instant. So, do that.
Change your stance.
Choose to change your stance. Where there is separation, where there is self-violation, where there is self-disregard, self-dismissal, putting yourself down, thinking yourself inferior, go into your heart and bring — find the love. Color in those places with all your favorite colors. Adorn yourself. Bedeck yourself there. Create practices to make yourself feel beautiful, worthy, powerful, gifted, and Divine.
This is the inward step toward yourself.
2. The second is towards others.
How do you see others? Be very, very watchful here. Because it is easy to rationalize. How do you regard people who look different from you? How do you feel towards them? What arises in your body? How do you treat them? How have you treated them before?
This is an uncomfortable practice because we all want to think of ourselves as not having such feelings but it is essential, because if you don’t, this is what will return back to you in some shape, form, or manner.
So note your thoughts and feelings and sensations, and now, bring love there. And notice what comes up as you bring love. Whether you fight it. Whether you resist it. Whether you don’t want it. Whether you push it away. Or you think it shouldn’t be so. Where it confronts your idea of what reality should be like. And, especially what you have gained by these ways of thinking. What have you gained? In what ways have you felt better about yourself? Or felt superior? Pumped up your ego?
Much of this has been inherited from those who have gone before you. You do not have to follow blindly any more. You can turn the tide. You can change the tide of this ocean. And say no, that you choose something different here.
And then, choose it.
Bring love. Bring the flowers, the colors, and the animals. Bring all the music.
Go back in time to think of all the ways, experiences, where you have regarded others in this way. Whether or not you were taught to. When you were taught to and were blindly in the throes of that.
And when you knew what you were doing.
It is uncomfortable but stay there. Don’t let yourself off the hook.
So bring love. Sisterhood. Brotherhood. Friendship.
3. And the third step is towards Mother Earth.
And with that, do the same thing. In what ways have you used her? Trampled her? Taken more from her than you needed? Thought of her as a thing?
And the same applies to God. To the Divine.
All of this is an exercise for you to know love. For you to love yourself. And to love others. Loving does not mean giving yourself away, or not setting boundaries, or saying no, or standing up for yourself. That is all truth and is necessary when it’s needed. But it is time to change these old, old fears, judgments, beliefs between races.
It’s been a long, wild, and extraordinary ride to get Brown Skin Girl ready for the world. I’m so delighted she’s birthed! And grateful to so many people who midwifed her and me to make it happen. 😃
My intention for Brown Skin Girl is that she be Story Medicine for women so they feel inspired to choose themselves, speak their truth, heal, rise, and shine their Light.
If you enjoy Brown Skin Girl and think your friends, family, book clubs, and communities would be inspired by reading, please spread the word.
I want to share an amazing story of healing with you.
I met Lubna Khalid at a writing conference last year and we quickly became friends. As we talked, I learned that Lubna healed herself from second stage breast cancer by healing the root cause, we realized it was one reason why we connected.
If you don’t know, I healed from Lyme Disease 10 years ago using holistic healing and spiritual methods.
It’s so important that people learn that healing from life-threatening illness is possible using holistic and spiritual methods, so I wanted to interview Lubna so I could share her story with you.
You can learn connect with Lubna at her website. Click on the link below to listen in…
I am at the Casa de Dom Inacio (House of St. Ignatius) in Brazil for the holidays.
At a time in my life where almost everything is falling apart and away to be born anew, it’s (almost) no surprise that it’s happening here in my spiritual home as well.
One morning this question sprang from the bottom of my heart, “Is there a man on this planet who truly respects women?”
Today, on Christmas Day, the answer came. I went to the chapel where I sit to receive Mother Mary’s messages. I felt an energy come through and put pen to paper to receive. But it wasn’t Mary. Instead, it was a message from Jesus whom I’ve never channeled before.
I’m sharing it with you because it feels so important and sheds so much light not only for what is happening here at the Casa de Dom Inacio but all over the world.
It is a message for us all — male, female, or any gender.
CHANNELED MESSAGE
“I was born today so I can teach others the Way to themselves. I was guided by the Lord, our Lord God, and by my own Inner light.
Everyone can do this. Everyone can do all I have done, and more. All miracles are possible—truly possible.
Your life is a miracle — it is all a question of how you choose to see everything. When you free yourself from all dogma, others’ truths, prejudices, and babble, you enter the truth — the Miracle of every moment anew.
Do not crystallize into a rigid permanence. But be ever open to flow like a drop of water that changes shape. Choose to see, ask, and receive miracles and they will happen and come to you.
Miracles are your birthright. You are just born into, conditioned with, and fed a reality that does not see or acknowledge them. Always reach for the impossible, for your visions, imaginations, and dreams.
Follow all the seemingly foolish and outrageous longings of your Divine Heart.
Love randomly without cause, expectation, or need for reciprocity.
Give in abundant ways and you will receive treasures in return. My kingdom is both material and non-material wealth. It is all wealth.
Ask from me whatever you wish. All your prayers are heard and granted.
Nothing and no one is more sacred than you. Even though I am called holy, you are no less so.
Come to know your Self as such.
Bless your Self as such.
It is only you who deny your Self thine own sacredness and divinity.
This – being Sacred — does not mean denying yourself life and its abundant pleasures. Sacredness is not turning away from life, frolic, pleasure, sexuality, and comfort, but embracing it all as the Divine Gifts you get to receive for being alive. There is no end to the bounty of the Divine. It is a never-ending waterfall of riches of every color of the rainbow.
Whether or not you participate in exchanging physical gifts, give yourselves non-physical ones of joy, peace, contentment, health, love, and pleasure. Give each other gifts of your heart, your body, your mind, your Soul today. Give freely, fully, and abundantly.
Mine Hand flows through each of your giving. As does your own Sacred Hand.
We are one, you and I. Know this above everything else. We are not different or separate or unequal.
Just as you bow to me, so I bow to Thee.
To Thine own Self be true.
This is the journey of this age — beyond others’ truths, no matter how ancient, established, and revered, to the liquid, living flame of Truth that burns brightly in Thine own Sacred Heart.
There we are One.
Your truth is Medicine, Magic, and Miracle all rolled into one.
Discover it.
Know it.
And then, Live it.
The world needs your Flame just as it has needed mine.
This is why all my temples and ones who wear the cloth in my name are falling. This is the age where there is to be no external authority — where you don’t follow any external person, laws, establishment, structure, or even sacred text, but tune into the revelations that spring from the Sacred Well within you.
I am with you all on this Holy Day. It is the day of my birth. And it is the day of your holy birth of your Inner Child, your Sacred Child, and the day your Holy Flame entered this world. I wish, more than anything, to see your Sacred Light shine Bright, Radiant, and True.
Blessings, dear one.”
<end Channeled Message >
I waited for a while after receiving this and as always, my mind questions, “Really?”
Then I heard, ”It is I. It is I. It is I. Let no doubt be there. I come in the form and way so as not to scare or overwhelm you, but be not mistaken that it is I. Jesus.”
Wishing you all Feliz Natal and every joy, love, and peace these holidays and into the New Year.
We all have a story. Our stories with all their pain and joy, challenge and gifts shape us in so many ways. I believe that when we take our pain and challenges, shape and transform them into gifts that help others, we ourselves transform into bringers of Light and catalysts of change.
I invited one such Light bringer and change catalyst, Rodney Mueller, an executive coach, business advisor, and host of The Absent Father Podcast to a conversation with me.
Rodney, who’s been interviewed by Oprah, shares his vulnerable, powerful story about his absent father, how it’s shaped him and his life. We also talk about how it’s shaped his work as a leader, and the gifts that such an experience brings.
The Absent Father Podcast is a wonderful resource if you’ve had an absent or distant father, or any wounding around your father. I’m so delighted that Rodney with his warmth, vulnerability, and vision is hosting this for the world. Do check it out.
Here’s the interview:
RODNEY MUELLER
