Wednesday, May 12 Can I just say, it feels really good to have a space where I can write freely and have you show up so beautifully for it. I love the messages I get after I post my mind and heart. I am grateful. Grateful for this space. Always. As some of you know, I’ve been delving deeeep into the 7 Female Archetypes. They are states of feminine expression that exist in all women in different degrees. Each has a light and a shadow presence. It’s been so eye opening and powerful for me to learn. I’ve realized that I’m very in my Maiden right now, which has surprised me. The Maiden is youthful and full of wonder. Innocent and curious. Trusting. The shadow of the Maiden is ignorance. Looking to be saved. The damsel in distress. Helpless. It’s always helpful for me to think of Persephone (the Greek Goddess of Spring Growth) when I think of the Maiden. There’s of course more to it than that, haha! But ultimately, I’ve really been examining this part of myself. I don’t love it, but self awareness has prevailed as always and I am learning not to judge it so much. My fear around traveling or even renovating the van (I had a builder lined up for April and should have been on the road now, but I’ve postponed) have been really clouding my vision of ‘what’s next’ and the shadow of Maiden seems to be present each time I try to explore new paths. So... that’s what I’m thinking about today on my upstairs deck with a glass of water, while I do my morning breathwork and gaze at the sky. thoughtfully contemplating life, Alexandra
