    Imagine a woman who is interested in her own life.
    A woman who embraces her life as teacher, healer, and challenge.
    Who is grateful for the ordinary moments of beauty and grace.

    Imagine a woman who participates in her own life.
    A woman who meets each challenge with creativity.
    Who takes action on her own behalf with clarity and strength.

    Imagine a woman who has crafted a fully-formed solitude.
    A woman who is available to herself.
    Who chooses friends andlovers with the capacity to respect her solitude.

    Imagine a woman who acknowledges the full range of human emotion.
    A woman who expresses her feelings clearly and directly.
    Who allows them to pass through her as naturally as the breath.

    Imagine a woman who tells the truth.
    A woman who trusts her experience of the world and expresses it.
    Who refuses to defer to the thoughts, perceptions, and responses of others.

    Imagine a woman who follows her creative impulses.
    A woman who produces original creations.
    Who refuses to color inside someone else’s lines.

    Imagine a woman who has relinquished the desire for intellectual safety and approval.
    A woman who makes a powerful statement with every action she takes.
    Who asserts to herself the right to reorder the world.

    Imagine a woman who has grown in knowledge and love of herself.
    A woman who has vowed faithfulness to her own life.
    Who remains loyal to herself. Regardless.

    Imagine yourself as this woman.

    Accouchement, violence…

      Un nouvel article a été publié sur Féminin sacré. Outre que je le trouve intéressant, je vibre de l’écho que ces mots ont trouvé en moi : « Accoucher est sans contredit salissant et sanglant. C’est intense, sauvage, féroce, bruyant, mais ce n’est pas violent. »
      Et puis tout à coup, en copiant-collant les mots en question, je réalise que non, moi je ne parlais pas de violence mais de douleur. Amusant comme chez moi « violent » et « douloureux » se confondent.

        Imagine a Woman

        Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman.
        A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.
        Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.

        Imagine a woman who trusts and respects herself.
        A woman who listens to her needs and desires.
        Who meets them with tenderness and grace.

        Imagine a woman who acknowledges the past’s influence on the present.
        A woman who has walked through her past.
        Who has healed into the present.

        Imagine a woman who authors her own life.
        A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf.
        Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.

        Imagine a woman who names her own gods.
        A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness.
        Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life.

        Imagine a woman in love with her own body.
        A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.
        Who celebrates its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.

        Imagine a woman who honors the body of the Goddess in her changing body.
        A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.
        Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life.

        Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.
        A woman who sits in circles of women.
        Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.

        Imagine yourself as this woman.

        TGT ~ 15 – Karmic Imprints


        2009
        10.12

          Hier soir. Je regarde les messages laissés sur mon téléphone portable. L’heure passe de 22h21 à 22h22. Quel clin d’oeil ! Je décide alors de tirer une carte du Triple Goddess Tarot, il est clair comme de l’eau de roche que c’est ce que ce clin d’oeil signifie. Je fonce dans le bureau chercher le jeu de cartes, je les bats en demandant à Tara de m’aider, de mettre entre mes mains la carte qui me permettra de trouver mon chemin à travers la situation difficile de la journée, ma voie authentique, celle qui ne me trahit pas, celle qui est fidèle à qui je suis, celle qui me fait honneur en tant qu’individu, celle qui ne me laissera dans la bouche que le goût de la vérité, MA vérité. Je demande à Tara une main pour prendre la mienne, de la lumière dans le noir qui me fait peur.
          Je tire la carte 15, Karmic Imprints.
          Je pleure en la voyant. La femme en gestation, les feuilles d’automne autour de la matrice, comme un halo de lumière dans la nuit.
          Je pleure en lisant ensuite le livret.
          Je suis reconnaissante à Tara.
          Je me sens presque apaisée.

          Triple Goddess Tarot - 15 : Karmic Imprints

          Triple Goddess Tarot - 15 : Karmic Imprints

          You darkness, that I come from, I love you more than all the fires that fence in the world – for the fire makes a circle of light for everyone, and then no one outside learns of you. But the darkness pulls in everything: shapes, and fires, animals, and myself, how easily it gathers them! –powers and people. And it is possible a great energy is moving near me. I have faith in nights. –Rainer Maria Rilke
          Soul Message: Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character. –Goethe
          To go in the dark with a light is to know light. To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings. –Wendell Berry
          Alchemy and Transformation: At this stage of initiation, the ego meets the daunting task of unraveling and unmasking itself in surrender to the Divine. The price of pursuing true freedom can be very high, at least from the vantage point of the ego; to the extent one is unable to let go of the trappings of the false self, a deep, spiritual form of suffering may result. We must enter the path of awakening through love.
          Awakening to the Archetype – Kali: The Hindu Goddess Kali appears at this time to help you along the path. She stands guard, sword in hand, seeking to clear the demons of the unconscious that may obstruct your progress toward liberation. Perhaps the most ruthlessly compassionate of the Dark Goddesses, Kali will do whatever it takes to wake you up from the dream of your life. Do not fear. Love heals all.
          Everyday Encounters: In accepting our weaknesses, we find our greater strengths. When we discover the root of our suffering, we can weed out the debris of our past and bring our fears to the light. At this point on the path, body work, hands on healing, and soul retrieval work can be very effective, for karmic imprints are stored deep within the body. Having your astrological chart done can also be helpful, especially if the astrologer is able to read the karmic imprints within the chart pattern. Vibrational remedies, such as flower essences and homeopathy can also be very helpful in releasing subliminal forces of negativity held within the soul.
          Nature’s Healers: Rosemary

          La semaine dernière, en arrivant chez ma thérapeute, je lui ai dit que je ne voulais pas parler, que je voulais juste une séance sur le corps, pour désengrammer – ou au moins mettre ce processus en route – tout ce que j’ai emmagasiné et qui me bloque, en particulier le bas du dos. J’ai aussi parlé thème astral à plusieurs reprises ces derniers temps. Cette carte m’est précieuse, parce qu’elle me montre que je vais intuitivement vers ce qui est bon pour moi, elle me redonne confiance. Et me rappelle une fois de plus, qu’Elle ne m’envoit rien auquel je ne sois pas capable de faire face (avec de l’aide si besoin…).
