A beautiful read, thank you Emily! Glad Lyndsay shared the post on notes so I could find it.
I reflected a lot on self-mothering last year and it’s a continuous journey. Having lost my mum to cancer as a teenager, connecting to the energy and the self- tending hasn’t come easy to me. I think it’s crucial before becoming a mama to little ones for me. X
Hi Carmen, so glad you found it too! I cherish your comment and sharing of your personal journey with the loss of your mum, I can so see why it would feel hard to tend to yourself and connect to that mothering part. I see you on that beautiful journey x
Really enjoyed reading this Emily! These are threads i refer to often and i felt gitty reading someone else write ok this as well.
I recently realized that my Maiden missed DANCING. I dove into spotify and created a playlist of all epic throwbacks from my clubbing days. It was so fun to enter that energy again. IT was touching the part of My Maiden that was sexy and flirty and let her life force course through her body on the dance floor. She definetly wants more air time.
There is a thread on motherhood and sex that i’ve been feeling into, it hasnt fully dropped in so i havent written much about it yet, but i feel that it is connected to Maiden, just a much more integrated, grounded, raw iteration, or perhaps Evolution, of Maiden turned to Mother.
Thanks for the prompt to check in with my Maiden again.
Oh I love hearing your thoughts Aleksandra! I love the pull to create that playlist too, I also have one that I like to listen to to connect to that free, embodied part of me during my university days. I'm excited to see how these thoughts bloom and yes I would totally agree that sexuality is connected to this maiden energy.. so interesting to think about for me too. Thank you so much for your beautiful comment x
This was so unbelievably beautiful to read. Thank you to speaking to the lost thresholds as we have forgotten how to honour and hold ourselves and others through the transitions as women. Thank you also for the reminder of the maiden energy and the inspiration to connect with her as an embedded part of me whilst I am deep in early motherhood. I look forward to thinking on the prompts too xx
Thank you so much for reading and for this lovely comment Lynsday! I appreciate you so much. Shining light on those lost rituals and times of connection for the thresholds feels so important, I feel like it is the way we reconnect to thriving in our womanhood and especially for the transition into motherhood. xx
A total pleasure and thank you again for your words they have definitely shifted something for me in terms of integrating my maiden energy which I had been talking about in the past tense xx
