What does the word tribe mean for you?
Does it conjure up feelings of connection and family?
Maybe it is a sense of community and belonging that stirs something inside?
Whatever the feeling, finding those deep connections, whether within your blood family or in an extended sisterhood is important for creating a supportive and loving network of like-minded people to share the highs and lows of the journey of life with.
Have you ever slowed down enough to notice how life has a habit of presenting exactly what you need precisely when you need it?
The universe is super savvy and knows exactly what lessons to place in front of you, even if you aren’t ready or open to receiving them.
If we stay still and present enough, then the unfolding moment can be filled with insight and growth if we let it in.
During a yoga training I was teaching on last year I experienced one of these beautiful moments.
Two paths before my feet and a choice to be made.
This was the kind of moment where time seems to stand very still and everything slows way down. Like a camera lens zoomed in, the choice before me became crystal clear and filled with clarity.
The options?
To stay ‘professional’, be the trainer and suck it up. Or, instead, embrace my vulnerability and be totally transparent with a group of beautiful women that I barely knew and see what transpired.
You really are enough honey.
Just as you are.
Right now you have all you need inside you to shine brighter than ever.
So what’s holding you back?
Is it fear and resistance?
They LOVE to hang around and sniff out the smallest bit of self-doubt.
Maybe it’s feeling like you need more qualifications, street cred and external know-how to move towards living a life you love?
Just possibly it’s those negative thoughts that may have been lingering for some time that are damaging the glorious manifestation of your dreams and desires?
Every day I see them.
The pavement pounders on a mission.
Women with an insatiable hunger to get somewhere.
Anywhere.
Rushing, running, pushing, striving.
Overwhelmed, stressed, exhausted and a little unhinged.
The destination unknown and unchartered but a desperate need to get there anyway.
The masculine forever leading the race, the feminine gasping to keep up as it’s not really her natural way.
Where are they going I wonder?
What is it all for?
What’s the rush sister?
Coming together and sharing with women in sacred space is a time honoured tradition that has been lost to many, but, joyfully, I am witnessing a reemergence of the scared circle as more and more women align with their desire to be once again reconnected with the divine feminine and BE with women in an open-hearted and vulnerable way.
