Today I'm feeling a lot of stuck stomach and solar plexus energy which can be linked to body and sexual trauma.
This can be especially poignant with women who have to deal with the polarised patriarchal view of themselves - madonna or whore, virgin or slut, good girl or bad girl.
Forgive yourself if you have unconsciously played along to survive. The vastness and richness of women's nature and inner life cannot be comprehended by a world who is afraid of it.
This isolation is making us face deep and uncomfortable blockages and negative self-beliefs, now we have nowhere to hide, only able to see our own reflection.
I've got the 3 of cups and the 6 of wands today... the 6 of wands being a rising card, the butterfly so often a symbol of recovery from trauma and transformation. It is so interesting that the cups card is full of that yellowy orange belly and solar plexus energy and speaks of hope and a new dawn. You are not who they said you were. You have the power to write your own story.
Some good crystals today would be carnelian or orange calcite to help get that energy moving again. You can meditate and send love to those areas, as you breathe imagining those yellow and orange wheels turning and releasing. Dancing also really helps, my personal favourite is the Lionheart album by Kate Bush.
"There was a time when you were not a slave, remember that. You walked alone, full of laughter, you bathed bare-bellied. You say you have lost all recollection of it, remember . . . You say there are no words to describe this time, you say it does not exist. But remember. Make an effort to remember. Or, failing that, invent." -Monique Wittig
