As you prepare to embark on your own rebirth journey here is what you can expect. In upcoming blog posts, you’ll learn more about the core ideas that will guide everything we do throughout the nine-month journey – pleasure, turn on and desire. You also will be introduced to the principles of the divine feminine path that include embodiment, intuition, connection with nature, and the cycle of death and rebirth.
Our nine-month journey will be guided by the chakra system – the seven energy centers that are inside our bodies and the eighth and ninth chakras that connect us with our soul and spirit. They run from the bottom of the spine all the way to the crown of our heads and beyond, and are an ancient roadmap to our body’s wisdom and power. Each chakra is associated with a color, and they are shining with their original light, they emit the colors of the rainbow. When they’re dulled by trauma and stuck emotions, they acquire a grayish hue aura.
That’s why each part of this journey, you’ll learn a different release process that will allow you to clear out the old and make room for the new. As we cleanse and activate each chakra, we will renew the rainbow of colors within us. You’ll also receive rituals designed to help you co-create what you desire with the universe. Month after month, you’ll follow this process of releasing and receiving and gradually grow and transform into a woman you might not recognize if you were to see her today. In our sacred circle, we call her the rainbow warrior
Along the way, you’ll also be learning about the feminine archetype associated with each chakra. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung coined the term archetype in 1919 to describe the innate knowledge that comes from all the lives throughout human history and both pre-dates and directs our conscious behavior. These archetypes are often reflected in art, mythology and even fairy tales, transcending time and offering insight into your multifaceted essence. While Jung had his own archetypal system that included the great mother, father, trickster and hero, his original framework has evolved to include a multitude of other archetypes.
We will follow a model that associates each chakra with an archetypal aspect of the divine feminine. I will also be providing a guide to crystals associated with that chakra as well as mantras and yoga poses that you can use to activate each energy center.
- We will begin with the first chakra, also known as the root. Think of it as the part of you that is connected with those who came before you, your ancestors, and also your core beliefs. It is located at your tailbone near the pelvic floor. In archetypal terms this chakra is associated with the maiden.
- Your second chakra is located in your womb space, the seat of creation. This chakra represents the mother archetype and encompasses your sexual center that makes new life possible. This is where your turn on is centered.
- Next is your third chakra, centered in your solar plexus. That is where you will discover your power source. Traditionally this chakra is associated with the wild woman archetype in all her free, unencumbered glory.
- Just above the solar plexus is the heart chakra, which is the dwelling space of the lover archetype, the nurturing and intuitive part of us. It is most closely associated with what we envision when we think of the feminine in traditional terms.
- From there we move up to the throat chakra and the creatrix archetype. She knows the power of speaking things into existence through affirmations and mantras. How often have women been admonished to be seen and not heard? It is here that you will learn to unleash the power of your voice.
- Ascending even further, we reach the third eye chakra. This is the wise woman archetype that represents the visionary in us who sees what’s possible. Often it takes a lifetime to reach this full level of wisdom.
- And finally we arrive at the crown chakra, the high priestess and the connection between us and that which is greater than us. Ultimately that is where our true power lies.
- While most chakra systems end at the seventh crown chakra, we will rise even further to the eighth and nine chakras allowing us to connect more fully with our soul and spirit. By communing even more deeply with the divine, we transcend all limitations.
So without further ado, let’s get started!
