Last week, I got my “flow,” got on my “moon cycle”—the same night we were having a small gathering at my most recent gorgeous house sitting gig. We were planning to do a sweat in the sauna house on the property. I knew in traditional Native American sweats, women weren’t allowed to sweat. Yet my new friend Alexander reminded me that traditionally the moon time was when women would gather together and bring back “wisdom for the tribe.” Because of the downward flow, women were more grounded and closer to the earth and therefore more able to access higher wisdom. So my friends suggested I go in by myself for a special “moon time sweat.” So that’s what I did, and here’s the wisdom I brought back:
Being “in the flow” is akin to being back in our mother’s womb, swimming in her fluid. And because being in or even near water reminds us of being in our own mother’s womb, we feel more “fluid” at these times—softer, gentler, more relaxed and loving. Speaking even more broadly, all the waters of the world (rivers, streams, oceans, etc.) are all parts of the Divine Mother’s womb fluid. And if we can allow ourselves to fully relax into Her, the Divine Mother will carry us through anything in life….
Going even further back than my own mother, I experienced traveling back in time to my mother’s mother and her mother and so on, through my own past lives as various women, all the way back to the original primordial “soup of creation”—the soup from which the cosmos were formed, from which we all ultimately came. In this soup, the Great Goddess simply breathed what she wanted/imagined/thought up into existence (for “flow” is not necessarily always water or even fluid; it can also be breath). She simply thought of worlds and poof! There they were….
We do this too through the process of intention, for we are powerful co-creators with Spirit. When it comes to manifestation, we need only get very clear on what we want, then put our attention on it, and “breathe” it into existence/form/creation. We are creating in this way all the time, whether we are conscious of it or not. And especially now, at this time on the planet, we are all creating a new reality in which to live.
Ever noticed how similar “flow” sounds to “blow?” I feel this is because with the “breath of life,” we “breathe” our reality into existence. I can picture the Great Goddess cupping her hands and blowing, Her breath swirling and creating the cosmos in which we now find ourselves. What is creativity, after all, but the process of creation itself, of breathing something into life/being/existence? So from the Great Goddess, the Mother of Us All, to each one of our individual drops in Her ocean, we are all simply doing just this: breathing (the cosmos, a new earth, fill-in-the-blank) into existence through the breath of life! So breathe on, powerful co-creators…What kind of world do we want to breathe into existence for ourselves and future generations?
