Ancient Roots

Art by: Christian Schloe

Traveling down--deep, deep down--I imagine my roots growing from the bones of my pelvis into the center of the Earth.

I become still and quiet; finally able to truly rest. After some time I can hear an ancient song that is calling me home to my feminine roots.

She is so much more than what we see and have come to know as "woman" in the world. She is pure creative essence, wild radiance and the doorway to your deepest inner knowing. 

She is calling you, too. Can you hear?

This means that you'll have to step away from all of the unnecessary distractions; you will have to put down that heavy load you are carrying and courageously walk away from those projects and people that are draining your vital energy. 

You must learn to use your strength in a new way.

Let go of the false promises of ambition and dutiful striving--stop all of the running in circles that have you wound into a tight, anxious ball. Let yourself be undone. 

You are safe here.

Stop all of that and sit in your root. Follow the breath into the bowl of your pelvis and let the tension release out and down. Don't try to make anything happen. Instead, follow the lead of your breath-intelligence to guide you. 

You already know the truth. 

Simply bring your full presence to this space. Welcome yourself back to your sacred center. Can you recall that this is where your life began? Remain steadfast in the remembrance that your pure Presence is the gift that continues to give life to all that longs to be birthed through you. 

You already have everything you need.

There is nothing to rush toward or to hurry away from. . . return again to the still, strong current of listening. . . just like that favorite tree, flowing river, or cherished mountainside that you love so dearly. 

You are made of the very same elements.

Soon you will feel a tide of joy rising up to meet you here. This joy is not attached to any particular thing or accomplishment. It is meant wholly for you who has endured such a long journey back to yourself. Drink and drink and drink some more. You are so thirsty. This is the living water that never runs dry. 

You are home.

There is so much more for you but this is enough for now. Take your time getting to know this landscape. Savor the jewels that you are finding as you discover your feminine roots. There is nothing to explain here--everything is meant to be directly experienced. 

You are learning the art of the ancient feminine. 

She is calling you.
