Episode 11: - How to Connect to the Wild to Discover Your Truth

with salena walker

On the Secret Witch Show today we have Salena Walker. Salena lives off-grid in the woods. She loves growing organic herbs, flowers, fruit and vegetables and focusing on creating a healthy body, healthy mind and healthy planet. Her mission in life is to connect others to their internal and external environment, focusing on what they drink, eat, breathe, think - and even excrete!

Her real deep dive into the world of naturopathy and nutrition began back in 2008 when she was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Pernicious Anaemia. She started her studies with the intention of learning and she healed my autoimmune dis-ease and ended up becoming a practitioner, a naturopathic teacher, writer and a motivational wellness speaker!

In this episode we begin to understand the importance of rewilding for the Secret Witch. We illuminate how the Wild can help us discover our truth and power. We dive into how we can talk to the Wild and let it speak to us, what we can learn from the wild’s cycles, how we can take powerful, Soul-aligned action to align with nature, and how the wild can help us connect to our bodies.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

Why our bodies need rewilding - we can so often think we are on track to having our dream life when we are living unconsciously in this spiritless society, but it may not be fulfilling and can leave us feeling we are lacking - and our bodies can take the physical hit on that.
The best way to navigate our lacking of wildness is to begin to listen in deeper to our wisdom and the wisdom of the natural world
We *are* the wild - in fact, we are wild *animals* so we need to be exposed to the wild in order to thrive and balance our inner and outer worlds
We need to give ourselves permission to invite the wild in and then get intimate with it. There’s no right or wrong way of doing this, so let yourself be guided by intuition
Every interaction with the wild should be intentional to harness the real magic of it, so we simply need to set an intention for our interaction with the wild and how it can support us in reclaiming our power and creating a magical life.
Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells and the wild can help us look after them. If we eat food from the wild that supports our cells, it becomes inevitable to eat a more plant-based diet because we are only putting things in our body that it longs for. However, we have to meet our body where it’s at and start small.
Our bodies and the wild all operate on natural cycles - nature and the female body are both cyclical - e.g. the moon has a cycle. Again, there’s no right or wrong, but to connect back into a rhythm with it, bathe in the full moon to remind your body what it should be doing.
Our Wild Witch can be found in nature, and we need to give ourselves permission to find her there.
