Lately I’ve been leaning into my Mystic Wild Woman.
I’ve been spending a lot more time outdoors than in. And what it’s shown me is not only how much happier and fulfilled I feel when I’m out in the sun, by the water, or grounded within the earth, but how this is how we’ve always naturally operated.
When I’m out in the wild, it makes me feel much bigger and more connected, than not. Being close to the water gives me an immense sense of peace and calm. It grounds and centers me (also because it’s my element).
We crave the open air and natural light.
I’ve been feeling very much at peace lately. I know there may still be many things I want to do and accomplish and figure out for myself, but I’m genuinely happy and feel at peace, at home, with myself, my love, relationships, work… So much so that I don’t feel I need much from others, because I know and believe all we could ever want and need is already inside of us.
I feel very balanced. And I think it’s important to maintain that balance and equilibrium by always bringing in the energy of that which adds, not drains.
This past year has flown right before my eyes. I’ve spent a majority of it trying to build, survive, make connections, opportunities, build community, and spread my light and my love wherever it fits. And I’ve been happy working for myself, even though it’s not been enough to invest in the projects I’d like, like making or finishing musical projects, taking lessons, or consistently investing in my craft and art and music and writing. I’ve been enveloped by the moment, for better or for worse.
But I’ve been at peace.
I feel for the past decade, I’ve spent so much time doing internal wandering, working through discovering my own power, unleashing that power, finding ways to express myself authentically and honestly, and write my way through life, as I got to know myself and, in turn, the world around me.
I feel like I’ve become a much more realized version of myself, who yet has still not figured out how to apply her best talents to work in this material world (classic problem for a mystic, ya?).
But sometimes, the silence is powerful. I’ve been caught in so much movement and work that it takes some time out to realize how powerful we really are when left to our own devices.
I’ve never been afraid of being bored, because that’s the special time you realize how much you can create, invest, inspire, and make moves within yourself. It’s your best time to get creative. The only thing is that our way of the world doesn’t make that so easy for us.
I’ve been doing well, and I hope y’all have been treating yourselves well as well, and filling yourselves with love and light, for it always surrounds us if you look for it. ✨
With love and honesty,
Rachel
