Harnessing the energy of the Cailleach is a journey, a journey to cultivate our relationship with our own divine feminine space, so that we can exist and interact from a place full of love, compassion and greater understanding.
A spiritual and psychological transition.
Once we’re able to align our heart and head in balance and harmony, we can unlock the temple of our deeper knowing and wider self.
If society needs anything at this point, it’s a good dose of divine feminine heart centred thinking and action!
All of humanity can benefit from it.
In our modern world the brain takes centre stage when referring to intellect. We pay great credence to those intellectuals who graduate from the best universities in the world. They create sophisticated weapons of destruction, cultivate GMO and devise impressive economic systems.
All of these impressive inventions and developments would look a lot different if those intelligent people who created them had been thinking with a balance of masculine and feminine energies.
Of course the key here is balance, to use our heart intelligence along with our brain intelligence as well as our gut intelligence - To remember all three.
Humans help each other because of our heart intelligence, because of the love that is in our hearts. Love transcends fear, it’s more responsive than most things.
Our three mind and emotional centres - The heart, brain and gut, are our pathways. When all three are aligned we’re able to open a gateway to collective consciousness.
Everything is present within us, we just need to pay attention.
We all have an unique story to tell the world, to tell others. It’s time to pass on our wisdom, to inspire and to encourage.
Remember the Cailleach, she’s fierce, brave, present.
This is a story that’s never complete, there are many chapters with beginnings and endings, but it’s ever evolving in every moment.
Heart Story
We’re all storytellers - What story are you telling yourself?
Retrieving our inner stories and feminine mysteries is a creative act.
Without us realising, it’s what shapes our experiences in life, of how we live. The thoughts we activate make up the foundation of our life story, these stories remain at the forefront of our consciousness, whether they’re good or bad, serve us or don’t.
Self talk, is the constant chatter in our heads, this chatter manifests into our life experiences.
Self talk comes from the values, thoughts and beliefs that we latch and hold onto. The stories can be vast, some of them belong to our ancestors experiences and values and are passed down to us through DNA patterns - Their story, how they lived, their relationship with the land, their battles, loves, customs, language and culture.
Self talk and thoughts are not solid they are temporary and ephemeral, they only stay with you if you attach value to them. This inner talk can be both positive and negative. We have many inner ‘talkers’ speaking through us, some of them are supportive, some critical, some are extremely unkind. When we attach belief and acceptance of truth to a thought, we make it a reality in our lives.
Most of us are way too top heavy, meaning that we only listen to the stories that the head has to tell us. The inner voice has been with us forever and is a constant companion, which is why we accept everything that it tells us.
How do we move from the constant chatter of inner talk of the mind to the heart feeling and centred unconscious truth?
We do this by learning how to listen to our truth.
The first step is to acknowledge the inner talk as a story - Stories can change, they do all the time. This is the story of your life and you have the power to change it.
What do you want your story to be?
What myths and stories arise form you?
What is your unique gift?
Use the power of your imagination and a conscious intentional choice to create a new story - You’re writing and telling the story of your life… what do you desire it to be?
Even small changes to the story you tell about yourself can have a profound effect. You can begin by not accepting the voice of the inner critic as the truth. What uplifting story are you able to imagine and tell? What story empowers you into your highest good?
Before you begin this exercise, I recommend that you listen to the Illuminating The Heart meditation below and then answer the prompts.
Sit up straight and move your neck back - Draw the base of the skull gently backwards and upwards, this will open the chest and heart space, allowing for expansion.
Shoulder Rolls - These will immediately open and raise the heart space.
