Greetings Sovereign Goddess,
Happy Solstice! I’m sitting here reflecting on the year, allowing the memories to rise and inform my “feeling body”. It’s revealing to me the places and spaces where I’m in shadows of being. See, being a Sovereign Goddess for me is having the freedom to feel fully ALL of my emotions, the pleasure and pain that shapes who I am, revealing my Original Beauty. A lot has transpired this year for me personally and in the world around me. Some experiences have been beautiful and uplifting, inspiring deep feelings of pleasures. Other experiences have been jolting, uncomfortable and had us come undone in expected swings of suffering. Being response-able in both places of bliss and suffering is the path to be a Sovereign Goddess! Feeling deeply is critical both for a woman’s personal evolution and for the evolution of the world. Holding a disapproving perspective of our rich emotional lives results in debilitating depression and a sense of being disconnected from life. This approach creates all the tragedy and abuse of our planet that we see all around us. For me, it resulted in a state of numbness, confusion and inability to feel, much less reveal, the truth of my darkness. I believe when the feminine in a culture is repressed, the consequences are tragic. We end up with violence, a greedy corporate culture, raping our planet of resources and the people powerless in suffering. The game becomes power and profit; ego affirming instead of life affirming. We then pass the responsibility for feeling our pain and navigating in the shadows down to our children and grandchildren, who will have to live with the consequences of our unwillingness to feel the fullest expressions of our emotions. Through various way of connecting, I get in touch with my emotions nearly every day. One of my favorite ways is to dance. By feeling my feelings and moving them through my body regularly, I stay in touch with my ever-changing emotions and ready to express whatever comes up. Staying in touch with myself this way does not spare me from challenging life upsets and shadows. Instead, deep insight reveals understanding as I move through them, allowing me to embody wisdom in my unfolding and medicine in my life’s offering. This morning dancing is helping me to feel what’s left to release from the year making space for the lightness of being in the New Year emerging! My desire is to give you permission to dance with your shadow too—daily, if need be. To feel your deep emotions, and to embody them completely. This is another step to exploring sovereignty. I also invite you to consider if you would benefit from participating in receiving regular support on the Sovereign Goddess Path? Take a few minutes to consider these questions and journal your responses. What do you need for support? How will you know you are receiving what you require? How much energy (time and resources) are you willing to invest in yourself to make this happen? What is your 1st step to inspired action in moving forward? Do that! Monique Ruffin and I will reach out again soon with more ideas to assist you with remembering yourself as a Sovereign Goddess in the New Year! Stay in touch!

May the blessings be ....🙏🏻 Love, Cheryl "If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive." Audre Lorde
