Freeing the Wild Woman

with thanks to dear Clarissa Pinkola Estes
a Wild Woman

today we travel up from our Root chakra into 
our sensual Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras


 Our Sacral Chakra is in the pelvic region and is associated with our drives - sexual, financial, creativity and relationships. It is also connected to our divine feminine essence. A woman in the fullness of her Lover archetype resides in this chakra! When this chakra is free-flowing, we trust life, are passionate, able to give and receive pleasure, and are creative and vital.  When unbalanced it could point to unsatisfactory sexual experiences, abuse, not feeling nurtured as a child etc.  I tend to agree with Angela Farmer (yoga wise woman) who says that in our society "we've been pushed out of ourselves and we leave our sacred body and our Mother behind". We tighten and become rigid, but if we allow Her to open us up, we soften and we are supported in our growth.

Some tips for clearing and energising this chakra~


Feminine Yoga - watch this video by Angela Farmer, yoga teacher for over 30 years. You will not be disappointed.


Your Sensual Erotic self - reading some healthy erotic writing is a way to tune into your sensual self. Here is a link to a new author in this genre - worth checking out!

Belly Dance - wonderful for opening up this chakra, being with other women in dance 
and our sensual feminine selves. I thoroughly recommend it!

Our Solar Plexus Chakra (color is yellow but for page viewing purposes I have made it green) - just below our sternum, is the centre of our emotions and personal power, and is associated with our identity, our gut instincts, and becoming proficient in our chosen field. Our main challenge is to use our personal power in a balanced manner. When our personal power is low, we can experience fear, anger and sadness, and our breath can become restricted. 
Some tips for clearing and energising this chakra ~
Breath - practise breathing fully into your abdomen which will then help you connect more deeply to your personal power and intuition

Tune in - listen to your body's messages, do not deny your feelings or needs as psychological or physical problems can result - many women put their needs last

Your dharma - if you are not already doing what you love in the 3rd chapter, then follow your intuition, or ask a coach to help you find your way.

Deepening into Elderhood

As questions came up for me this morning,  I heard the call. It ’s been a while since I created space to write, even though in the last 12 months there’s been more time than ever!  Though it’s challenged us all in many ways,  it’s also a gift. A huge transformational time on earth that we in our 3 rd  chapter can experience. Having lived through many decades of change and/or struggle, we can be a source of calm and wisdom for others, and our loved ones.  Numerous people have written inspiring articles and engaged in philosophical conversations about this period in time. For me, I’m focusing on how to stay present, contented and healthy to ride out the next few years of uncertainty. I’m not concerned about where we’re headed as any fear is more detrimental to our health than any virus.  Don’t allow fear to call the shots! Action is also a potent antidote to fear, and here’s one step to start – a True Vitality TEST that you can complete on the Blue Zones research website which is a wond

Late Bloomer Online Video Challenge

Welcome back to the Juicy Years! If 15 months have flown by since I last posted, then it's time for me to more fully embrace every moment of every day of my life hereon in.  I've just completed a 5 Day Video Challenge in an online Woman's Dharma group, facilitated with much care and compassion by the wonderful,  Ann Manatt  who is  dedicated to helping female entrepreneurs launch their online businesses.   It has been one of the most rewarding and empowering activities I've done in a long time.  (image: valerie elash) After the 5th video was done and uploaded to our group yesterday I experienced one of those moments - you know the ones - where you suddenly feel an energy flow through you and your heart wells up. This energy was one of JOY,  accompanied by the thought "wow, how did all this happen in 5 days?" Our challenge was really a 7 day one.  Though it was very time consuming, and often kept me awake at night, I somehow found the ene

A Blog Tour - Navigating The Writing Path, From Start To Finish

Image
Today I'm taking a creative diversion from my usual topics of discussion as I  was invited by the lovely  Asrael Zemenick , an Ayurvedic Practitioner, Karma Yoga Instructor and Jyotish Astrologer, to join a “Blog Tour” (sponsored by  Sheri and Carly at  IC Publishing - follow via #ICBlogTour).  Until now I hadn't really thought too deeply about my writing process, so it's been a n ideal opportunity for me to reflect on this. Here are my insights. How do you start your writing project(s)?   My writing projects - whether a post on my Blog or post on my FB business page, are always prefaced by an urging from deep within, an intuitive ‘flash’, or a response to something I’ve read or seen.  At other times I’m inspired by an article that I may have bookmarked for research purposes.  As I’m passionate about sharing my experiences, my ideas for creative and juicy ageing with other women, this is a motivating factor for me to write. I am inclined to flow from the academic
