Rewilding the Spirit

What makes you feel free and uninhibited? Run towards it….

In Stillness Speaks, Eckhart Tolle wrote that by stepping into stillness ‘you become present’ and ‘you step out of thousands of years of collective human conditioning.’ Our conditioning is so layered and influences our beliefs about ourselves and about the world. From a young age we become domesticated and taught to act in certain ways.

Walking a spiritual path has been a re-wilding of sorts. It is an un-taming of the domesticated heart and restoring the soul to its freest and most natural form. It is a process of unlearning what is unnatural and remembering what is true.

We were born to be wild, unique and expressive beings. The barriers of conditioning only cage you creative essence and snuff out your incredible spirit.

What stands in the way of you being who you are fully?

Release it. Walk away from it. Loosen its grips. And set your spirit free.

Each day, the Great Mother brings me new insights about re-wilding my own spirit. Stepping into the stillness of Nature and has been a doorway to reuniting with my authentic self and undoing years of conditioning. The wilderness mirrors that wild unbridled spirit within us.

By breaking down the barriers that we have been taught to build around your wild and instinctive self, a powerful ocean of Spirit will reclaim its place in your life, just as the ocean waters wash over a de-constructed pier no longer serving a purpose, repossessing its rightful space.

Abandon those piers, those preconceived perceptions of who you should be and how your life should be lived.

You are free to choose a different path, one where you can dive deep into a life rich with Spirit, Mystery and the beauty of your true essence.

A Mirror of Peace

“Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach you stillness.” ~ Eckhart Tolle

Engulfed in the beauty of Mother Nature, I feel the nurturing support of the Earth below me, solid, firm, yet comfortable. I’m becoming ever more sensitive to her pulsing energy as it becomes entrained with my own. Beside me, the tall wises trees stand in silence. Being in the powerful presence of these sisters is so calming. As they emanate the deep contentment of peace, I can’t help but drop into the stillness of my own centre to mirror that peace back to them. The sounds of Nature rest gently in my ears, like soothing lullabies sung softly to me by the Great Mother.

Into the Dark Night

Sometimes the only way into the light is through the darkness. Our shadows can be scary. They show up in our lives as personal crisis – a breakup, a breakdown, a betrayal, a tragic loss. We all have those moments of deep pain stabbing into our hearts, that paralysing fear that suffocates you, the unbearable grief that numbs you or that ugly side of yourself that seems to keep surfacing because you just can’t control the anger, hurt or resentment.

Often our instinct is to run in the opposite direction. But sometimes the only away around them is to run right to them. Invite them to sit down with you for tea. Becoming at home with the darkness isn’t easy. We fear that if we surrender, it may take us a place, a black hole that will consume us completely. Yet, when you do just that – stop running from your shadows and look deeper into them – you allow room for grace to enter. Creating a space for your shadows in your awareness ignites a glimmer of light, shining like a bright angelic warrior swords that cut through the hardened walls you build around your heart.

Shadow work has been a major part of my soul’s lesson this year. I’ve been coming to terms with pain, working through feelings of betrayal and working to restore my health. Peeling away the layers of ‘stuff’ bit by bit and piecing together shattered fragments. Some experiences leave lasting scars that could take a lifetime to heal. As painful as each step can be, the more I unearth, the more profound the healing I experience. That is why when I stumbled across The Wild Mystics give away for their 6 week Into the Dark Night e-course, I knew I wanted in. I’m so keen on winning this give away, I”ve been doing all I can to gain moons (points). If I get a space in this course know that it won’t be all fun and games, but I have a feeling that it will be a pretty incredible journey that will bring me closer to my essence and enrich my life in so many ways.
