Are you ready to energetically manifest the life your soul desires?
“A Secret Witch isn’t a woman just playing with potions. She’s a woman who doesn’t yet know her power to create whatever she opens her heart to.”
~ Nicole Barton
There is no "push" or "force" in this journey; it is actually one of magical, energetic manifestation. And equally, that doesn't mean sitting back and doing nothing either, as most spiritual paths teach. You see, the temptation for me has been to bounce between the two extremes - of either doing nothing, or forcing everything - which was missing the true, deeper path of Soul. And this is almost always a common pattern in my women, too - until they begin to dose themselves with the healing Remedies of the Wild and learn to create magically, from soul.
You see, the path of Soul is the descent into the beautiful well of our bodies, and, therefore, the path into our deeper wisdom. Which really means it is the path of discovering our heart's longings, our body's desires and signals, and creating from there. It is the journey into the "soft animal of our body," as Mary Oliver says. Often a decent that my women both long to take and also simultaneously want to avoid taking, hence the healing remedies being required to help them love the fear into liberation.
And yet, whilst I say there's no forcing, I often talk about the descent alongside words like "choosing" our lives and taking aligned "action", and creating from "Will." This can sound like there's striving, forcing, pushing - but only if we look at it from the lens of these words as used by the culture we are used to living in, rather than the magical lens.
The thing about choosing our lives, is that it is an *energetic* choosing. A choosing by allowing ourselves to soften into discovering our soul's Truthful desires, and allowing our hearts to decide that this is what we choose. An intentional discovering, if you like. And specifically, a reconnection to our soul and our heart's vision.
From there, I'm seeing more and more that it isn't necessary to create by force, but by opening our hearts to magic and love. I've experienced this deeper and deeper more recently as I navigate creating my new circles and offerings from pure Love and Truth - from simply allowing more and more of myself to express out into the world.
The invitation of magic is that we allow ourselves to discover the next aligned action and learn to be receptive. Again, "action" can sound like a pushing, a forcing; but this kind of action is very different - softer, only moved by love. It's still action, but it is from listening for the next breadcrumb that appears which is in deep alignment with your soul's desires - and following those. And once you know what your heart longs for, this becomes an obvious next aligned step to make the woman you long to become inevitable. It's not "action" as we have known it before.
And this is how we create from Soul Will. Allowing soul to speak through us, to whisper to us, letting us know who we are, and co-create with the Universe in glorious, soft, beautiful, magical alignment with our essence. This is how I've become my medicine for the world.
Yes, the journey may not always feel easy - because sometimes our soul desires inconvenient things. But as I've found - and my clients find - the more and more we tread the path, the journey is always as soft, slow and gentle as we need and filled with unconditional love, rose petals and feather beds. Especially when your soul desires them.
We just have to choose it that way, and do the work to heal all the fear of living from soul.
If you're feeling called, I'll be leading women through Invoking their Wild Apothecary this October.
