Is it really a choice - or can we have it all?
"Anything, or anyone, that does not bring you alive is too small for you.”
~ David Whyte
I witness over and over again recently how my women often think that living from soul is something seperate from life. And I'd have once felt that too.
I've had some of the old stories that my women often create from - that you can either have Motherhood or Soul Work, or you can either have Abundant Energy or Love, or - the big one for my women, especially, as they are usually here to become their medicine for themselves, so they can then be medicine for the world - that you can have Money or Soul.
From this lens - these old beliefs - it can really look true that there's a choice to be made between Soul and something else <usually whatever it is that we desire>.
And during my descent to Soul, I've frequently seen evidence that there are new stories on the other side of the alchemy of these innocently created stories. Particularly around the story of "Money or Soul" for which I'm very appreciative I've done deep work there to see that you *can* create money from living from soul. In fact, even more importantly, I've seen that it is in the living from soul that we are deeply serving the world and abundance naturally follows.
One of the things I've begun to feel and embody more clearly recently, is just how our life is really one big creation from soul, if we choose it to be. And I'd seen that, but more is being revealed in new areas that I'd still not alchemised.
And so, I would often see Motherhood as seperate to my Soul work, yet since my dark initiation into Mother recently I've begun to integrate this one more deeply. Yesterday, I took Lily to the river for a paddle and noticed how I was still immersed in my Remedies of the Wild in the river. Motherhood and my soul in a delicious creation of LIFE and living. The alchemy of creating from soul, rather than a dichotomy of one thing or the other.
And in that, I see that really, the deep invitation is to create all of life from soul. That means, showing up, truthfully, lovingly, and trusting our souls to lead in everything. Trusting the magic of life, everywhere. Living from soul is not part time work; it's in the whole-souled living of life.
It is in the living. Today, I felt this as I was paddleboarding down the River Thames - something my soul had called me to create for a while. And I sat on my board, watching the dragonflies shining their beautiful blue light, shimmering across the water, occasionally dipping in, and I thought "ah yes, more medicine." And I felt alive.
That's living from soul, and it's available in all of life - if we choose to expand past the shadow that keeps us in the dichotomy of choosing between two supposed opposites. To expand past the beliefs that keep us from living fully from soul and magic.
Afterall, as David Whyte says "anything, or anyone, that does not bring you alive is too small for you.”
And, as he also says, the answers are usually found by descending into the darkness first to lovingly heal those old stories. I'll be dosing the Remedies of the Wild that help you do that in October, message me if you want to join me.
Are you ready to expand and live? ♥️
