11 - Spiritual Work: Witch Wound, Soul Callings And The Issue With Resting In Your Feminine
🌸 RE-UPLOAD. 🌸
In this episode, we go into what has been underneath the procrastination and how it relates to the witch wound.
We talk about downplaying our spiritual abilities by calling what we can do as spiritualists, "woo woo" and the labels of "crazy" for being awakening souls.
Also, the experience of becoming the kind of person my past self was judging since my awakening. We also talk about curating your space to reflect what is most inspiring for you.
We also talk about the aspects of the "Rest in your feminine" and "soft girl era" that are unhealthy, as they ultimately promote a weakened masculine within women and perpetuate patriarchy. This is mostly in the context of relationships.
In this episode, I didn't cover how aspects of this can be healthy in terms of the environments you choose to enter into, however, especially when you break up with the struggle and allow yourself to embrace what is calm for your nervous system. This is something I will revisit for another episode.
We talk about the importance of inner work and how ultimately, our relationships mirror what is in our subconscious. With references to the show on Netflix called, "Jiva!".
