Show Notes:
Hey sister, welcome to episode 23 of Rooted Feminine. I am really deep into this rebirth topic, not only here on the podcast and in my emails that I send you guys, but also just in my life. I've been going through probably my own rebirth cycle. And it's really interesting too, because of the fact that we are in eclipse season.
So, it's perfect timing to be doing this self-evaluation, and lots of stuff comes through during an eclipse, but we don't always know what to do with it or how to use the wisdom or how to use the medicine that comes in. And so, once you receive the downloads, receive the information, the body wisdom that you are meant to get from eclipse season, there's this integration period.
And then some clarity comes from that. And then you might want to make some changes. And that, my friend, is a rebirth cycle. And if you notice by the title of this episode, spoiler alert, we're always in a rebirth cycle. So, that's what we're going to talk about today. What does that mean? What does it mean that we're always in a rebirth cycle?
And what do we do with that information? How do we live into that? How do we lean into that? And how do we make that sacred? So, autumn really has been a difficult season for me. It started in September. September was just a hard month. I was busier than I'd ever been in terms, not never been, but busier than I'd been in a while, in terms of getting the sacred living summit together.
And then also just some life stuff, some stuff with my kiddo. We moved across the country, which, being a military family, was not new for us. But this was our last move with retirement and a lot more things to have to get together, compared to just a move with the army and it just being seamless. Everything stayed the same, except we just lived in a different house.
This was everything was different, so it was a major transition, and we moved on the 5th of June, and I just pushed through the summer, did lots of projects, kept everybody busy. Rather than sat in that transition, I avoided looking at the rebirth that I was going through, avoided looking at this transformation that was really quite obvious and quite overt.
I just put my head in the sand and was like, "This isn't happening." And then it all really hit me in the fall, in September. And now, even though we're in October, I still feel like I'm in it because of the eclipse and because of what's just, that's just an interesting time, right? We're getting close to the Samhain when the veil is thinning, right?
Like, it's just an interesting season of the year, which I love living into. But having the stress going into the season has made it a different experience for me this year. And so, I really need personally to turn toward rebirth and to bring my intention, my presence, my determination, my awe, my purpose, and my reverence for rebirth. And I need to turn toward this consciously. And some of you are probably feeling the same way, right? That even if you haven't had a stressful summer leading into eclipse season, you are probably feeling, just the fact that it's the shadow season, that it's autumn, that this is the time of shedding, right?
And it's only exacerbated and powered up, juiced up by the eclipse. So, this is why I'm running a three-day live ceremony called Initiation after the Eclipse portal closes. We're gonna get together, and we are going to integrate, right? A lot of stuff is gonna come through while this portal is opening, while I'm recording, while you're listening to this episode.
A lot of stuff is going to come through, and then, like I said, what do we do with that? Let's bring it to initiation. Let's use this as a catalyst for rebirth. Let's initiate into our next level of being. So, I'm really excited to host the ceremony. I'll be teaching you and then I'll be guiding you through practice each day.
Three days, again, That makes it doable for those of you in the UK and in Europe. It'll be evening time for you. And my Australia friends, it'll be early morning for you. But maybe you could either wake up early or you could always watch the replay.
So, if you know you need support leaning into your rebirth, turning toward it instead of burying your head in the sand, come and join us for initiation. The link for that is rootedfeminine.com/initiation. I think it can be really easy for us to just go along with the flow of life and just go with whatever's happening.
And I feel like that's what I was doing, right? "Oh, this next thing has to be done. Let me cross this off the to-do list. Got to get our health insurance turned on now that we're not on the army's insurance. Got to get dental insurance turned on, got to get the schools switched," like all the stuff, right?
All the stuff of this modern mystic life. And I was just waking up in the morning, doing the stuff on my list and just going through it. But that's not the sacred way to live. This is, if you attended the Sacred Living Summit, this is what we talked about on there. Just all different conversations about how do we live more sacredly, even if this stuff is going on.
And at first, it sounds like going with the flow is a good thing because isn't the feminine all about flow? But there is a difference between being in alignment with what the universe is providing, being in alignment with your soul's path, and going through the motions, right? Those are two different things.
Being swept away by the current is not the same as going with the flow. Maybe I should re-say that again. Getting swept away with the current is not the same as being in flow, or in a state of flow, flow state. This modern mystic lifestyle can have us overwhelmed with obligations.
I, at times, in the last six weeks, have felt like I'm drowning. All I can do is just get up, look at this long laundry list of stuff to do, and then be like, "Oh God, okay. Here we go. Let me dive in. Let me just do it. Let me just get through." And that can have us either turning away from our soul's path or just getting disconnected from our soul's path, right?
And I think those are two different things because sometimes your rebirth is about realignment with what is. And getting rid of the things that have just gotten in the way or getting distractions and other times your rebirth is a complete realignment to something new, right? And neither of those are better or worse than each other. Sometimes, maybe the complete realignment to something new might be a little harder but it's still the same process.
So, you are always undergoing this, whether it's small tweaks and adjustments in realignment, things needing to die and you needing to emerge in realignment, or more major where big things need to die or big things need to change identities, relationships, whatever. And then you're emerging completely changed, right? Two different things, but still the same process.
Okay, I think we forget that the universe is always working for us when we've got errands to run, bills to pay, dinner to make—all the things. We just are on this surface level, untuned in, undialed in, unawakened, like frequency, right? But that doesn't mean that the deeper frequencies or the higher frequencies, depending on what you're wanting to access, aren't there for you. They're just... I think we can't hear them, right? I'm getting this image of a radio. We're tuned to 103.2 FM or whatever. I don't think that's a radio station, but whatever point FM, that doesn't mean there's not things playing on 102.5 FM or 104.9 FM, right? That doesn't mean that there's not things on those other channels. It's just that we're right here, locked into 103 point, whatever, right? And the obligations keep us stuck, like we're in this rut of just slog through, but we can intentionally turn the station. We can intentionally retune to another frequency.
The thing is that we don't always do that. We don't always consciously say, "Oh my god, I'm on the wrong channel. I need to be on a different channel right now." But even if we aren't consciously making the choice, which is what I'm encouraging you to do here and what we'll be doing in initiation, the universe is always working for you, right? It's still gonna get you to 103.9 or whatever I said. But you might not be present to it. You might not witness it, or you might have a whole hell of a lot of resistance to it. Okay? Spirit, source, universe, whatever you wanna call it, it's always working in the background.
Our highest good is always unfolding for us, even if it's so far behind the scenes, we couldn't see it if we tried or so far down the radio dial that we can't hear it at all. But one thing that we do know to be absolutely true, it's universal law, right? We see this in nature, we see this everywhere emulated for us, so we know it must be true, is that we can't have room for anything new and wonderful without first getting rid of the old and the stale, right? You can't just add more and more. If you do that, it just turns to shit, right? Because it's tainted or it's spoiled or it's touched by the things that need to be gotten rid of.
So, when we follow this thread, we can see that if the universe is always delivering for us, we must always also be getting ready for what's coming, right? This is actively living your life. This is actively bringing presence, consciousness, intention, awe, and reverence to this sacred thing that we call life. So, whether we're conscious of it or not, we're always in a rebirth cycle. We're always living in a rebirth cycle. The key to living spiritually and to living sacredly every day is bringing it into our awareness.
When we are going through the motions, when we're stuck in this place, we're blocking our blessings, like straight up. That's what it is. Even if it's unintentional, even if you're just bogged down, and you're just really stuck. There are things that are waiting for you and arriving for you. And we need to make room for those. If we are just going through the motions, we're holding on to a lot of baggage, potentially trauma. I don't like to throw that word around, especially as a psychotherapist, but there's definitely shit there. There's definitely baggage there, potentially traumatizing baggage or just bullshit, right? That's so old and it's so stale and it's not doing us any good.
Now, like I said, this might just be a realignment. This might just be a change in a pattern or a change in the way you communicate with somebody or something like that, it could be a slight shift, a slight realignment. But if it's a major rebirth, like a complete aligning to something new, then these are things that really need to be gotten rid of—complete relationships.
Not just the way you communicate with that person, or a new job. It's not about maybe having a conversation with your boss. That would be like a slight realignment or a slight rebirth. This might be getting a new job altogether, right? Or launching a completely different offer in your business, right?
So, there are small rebirths and big rebirths, but either way, we have to get rid of the baggage. Even when the things that are meant for us do poke through, because they're going to come through, right? The universe is always still working for us. We are not going to be able to see them or claim them fully. That's when we're like, "Oh, what a coincidence."
It's not a coincidence. It's magic. It's universal. It's soul. But when we're not present to it, when we're not aware of it, and we're not conscious, intentional, in awe, and in reverence of it, that's when we're like, "Oh, that's cool. That just so happened to happen." And that's not how it works, right?
Universally, spiritually, at the core of the mysteries, we know that's not how it works. So this is why I'm so passionate about doing this for myself in real time, along with you, and calling you forth. Like, I'm your caller right now. Like, I'm your call to action, and not in a business sense, in a soul sense.
I'm your call to action right now. And I'm calling you to a conscious rebirth cycle. Now, I'm not saying to force it, right? If you feel like now, this identity is where you're at right now. You might be in one of the settled or "lighter" sides of the rebirth cycle.
That's great. If you are, if you feel like maybe you just went through a death and you've come out and now you're just living in it and you're reveling in it, that's awesome. You're still in the rebirth cycle. You're just not in the shedding, changing, dying stage, which is where I'm at, and which is where initiation will meet you.
So if you are feeling this, if you are feeling that there are changes and shifts that have just been at your peripheral vision, like you see them at the corner of your eye, you know that they're coming. It could be a small nudge or even a big nagging feeling, right? You feel that there's something that's got to move.
There's something that's got to transmute. There's something that's got to change here. That is when you need to lean in and meet the universe with willingness. Even when you want to bury your head in the sand, even when it's hard, right? I know it. I'm right there with you. You will go through the dying process.
Yes, it sucks. It's not fun to necessarily do the shadow work. And it's not fun to necessarily do the healing work. But they have to be done. Universal law says that we cannot have something new if the old bullshit is still there. We just can't. And even if it comes through, we're not going to appreciate it.
So we need to do it together. And if you want to join me in initiation, I would love to guide you through it because I'm doing it for myself. At the same time, you have to go through the dying process, but you will come through reborn, and then you will get to revel in those playful, lighter, ecstatic, blissful parts of the rebirth cycle.
Until, again, another spoiler alert: you do it all over again, because that's how this works. When we recognize rebirth for the feminine cycle that it is, when we realize that, "Okay, we're going through this," we know that it's a cycle, and we can become familiar with her seasons.
Okay, so the first thing that happens is there is an initiation, a catalyst. Something has to happen to let you know, "Okay, I'm entering a rebirth. I'm entering a rebirth." And the more you practice in your spirituality and the more you work on your consciousness, flow, intention, and presence, you will begin to notice these moments clearly, clear as day, right?
They will no longer be happening behind the scenes. You'll be like, "Yep, here again." So there has to be an initiation. There has to be a catalyst. This might be something major. And I also want to say here that sometimes we think of these catalysts, at least I do, and you might too as you're listening, as negative things. Like, a major catalyst: you get fired, your partner cheats on you. Those would be major catalysts. And you're not only doing a small realignment. You're completely rebirthing into something brand new, right? But that also could be like, you win the lottery, right? It doesn't have to be a totally negative catalyst. Initiations are not necessarily trials by fire. Though, yes, they often are. They also can be trials by blessing.
I don't know. I'm just making that up. But this doesn't have to be something terrible happening, like a death or whatever, like a real death of a person. But it still kicks off dying for you, right? And again, these can be something small, like maybe going with the job analogy. Maybe you don't get fired from your job, but maybe your role gets changed, or maybe they add on; they hire a new person, and that person's going to take some of your responsibilities.
And now you're in this limbo of, "What does my job look like now if I'm not doing this stuff, right?" You can fill in the blank with whatever. But these could be major trials, or these can be minor, minute, smaller. It still is kicking off a death in you. There's still change happening. So first there's the initiation, and then there's the dying season, okay?
We happen to be living in dying season right now, if you're in the northern hemisphere, in your autumn. Okay, but even if you're going through rebirth in May or June, you're still going to have a dying season. That's going to feel like the fall, right? It's going to feel like the slowing down. Things are dying.
The leaves are falling off the trees. Things are decaying. It's quite clear that the season has changed, that it is time for something different. What happens during this season is shadow exploration and shedding what doesn't serve. We have to go to the shadow. We have to say, "Okay, this is dying. And what does that mean? Who am I if I no longer have this job? If I no longer have this partner, who am I? If I just got a million dollars, what am I going to do with my life?" That's amazing for some of us. But also, there's shadow shit to look at. Are you going to quit your job? Are you going to move? Are you going to do all this stuff?
There's still things that need to be explored, right? And then, shedding what doesn't serve. Letting go. And really letting go. I'm not talking about, "Oh yeah, I let that shit go." No, like really letting go. So that's what the dying season is all about. And that's the one that most people are most uncomfortable with.
It's the dying season. It needs to happen. We know it needs to happen. Just like right now, my trees are dropping all of their leaves. Nature shows us that this has to happen. The field has to be fallow, and before it's fallow, it has to die. So from dying season, we move into healing season. This is your winter.
And again, even if we're mid-June, you're still going to go through a winter-like state in your rebirth. We have to have a fertile void. The universe also doesn't like a vacuum. So if we've created this vacuum intentionally, consciously, purposely with awe, with love, with reverence to make this a sacred experience, then we've intentionally created a fertile void.
We've created a vacuum, and we've made that vacuum fertile because it is full of our love and our sacred intention. And in this healing season, two things: you're called to rest. You are called to rest. And I can't emphasize that more. You're called to rest, and you're called to integrate. Okay, I'm running with this winning the lottery analogy because it's just speaking to me right now.
But, like, you win a million dollars – oh my God – or a billion dollars. I think the Powerball is like a billion dollars or some shit. That's just astronomical. It's just stupid, but whatever. You win an exorbitant amount of money, and it comes through, and it's like this windfall. It's like this huge blessing, right?
But then all the shadow comes up. Your second cousin you haven't seen for 12 years says, "Hey, can I borrow some money?" Whatever. Shadow stuff's going to come up. Who are you now with ten million dollars or whatever? Who are you now? What is no longer serving you? Maybe you do go buy a house.
Maybe you do move. Maybe you don't like where you're living, right? So you shed what isn't serving you. Now, a lot of people would be like, "Okay, now I'm going out and spending the nine and a half million dollars that I have left, right?" That would be completely skipping the healing season. It could be completely skipping over an entire part of your rebirth, which is where you rest, where you integrate.
We're not analyzing here. A lot of me, like a lot of people, but I really mean me, I'd be so tempted to just analyze the shit out of this. "If I spend the money in this way, what happens? If I do this, what happens? How much do I need to invest at this rate of return for da?" Like my head would just be exploding, and that's not serving, right?
So we need to rest. During the resting period, while the fertile void is happening, while the field is fallow, wisdom will come. I promise you, wisdom will come. And this is what we integrate. We've created a vacuum. The universe doesn't like a vacuum. It's going to fill the vacuum with what is in our highest and best good and interest.
And then we integrate that, we embody that, we become that new identity. And this takes time for integration to happen. And then we move to our next season, the emerging season. This is like spring. And again, we could be in the total opposite calendar year; we could be in October going through rebirth, but we're still going to have a spring. We're still going to feel as if we are emerging. We've integrated, we've taken in, we've gotten rid of, we created a void. The universe filled the vacuum, filled the void. We've taken that in. We have embodied it. And now it's time to emerge.
And when we emerge, we can look to nature yet again. We don't look one day and then there's just like a fully grown flower or a fully grown tree. It emerges. It's a seedling, it's a bud, it's a sapling, it's a baby, right? It's a baby thing. You will be an infant in this new identity. You will be an infant millionaire, right?
And again, if you skipped healing season and if you skipped emerging season, and you just come out fully, like full charge, full speed ahead, whatever cliché I'm searching for. If you come out like that, it's not going to serve you, right? So, you need to bud. You need to bloom. You need to have time to push your way through the soil and say, "Maybe in your... here's an example, right?"
You win this money, you shed all the things that don't serve you in your healing season, in your fertile void. It's, "Oh my God, I need to start a charity or I need to start a foundation or I need to start a scholarship, right?" This wisdom comes to you, and then you're in this emerging season, and it's not like, "All right, I have 10,000 to give away to the first person who comes and knocks on my door, right?"
You would probably consult with people. You'd probably find out, "What do I want to pour into this foundation? What are the values of this? What does this stand for? What does this mean for me?" This is where you would maybe bring on some analyzing or some analysis with your head, but I would really challenge you to feel with your body.
All right. Brand new identity, foundation CEO, or foundation chairman, right? "What am I doing with this? How? What's the good I'm doing in the world, right?" And then your final season of your rebirth is your liberation season. This is your summer. This is when you're in full bloom. This is when you're thriving.
And so now, you've got this scholarship fund or this foundation, and you give away thousands of dollars to the people who you've identified who need it. And it's thriving and it's making a good difference in the world. And you're doing all the things that, I was going to say you were born to do, but this version of you, this chapter in your life, this little bit of you was born to do, because another spoiler alert:
You will die again. There will be another initiation. There will be another catalyst that will kick this off all over again. Now, if you've been listening to me, you've heard me mention these seasons before on this show. And if you've been following me, or if you're anybody who wants to live more cyclically and be deeper connected to your feminine energy, you're going to recognize this pattern.
This pattern isn't new. We see it in the moon cycles. We see it in our menstrual cycles. We see it in the four seasons. Again, you've heard me talk about this. This is what makes it so sacred. This is why universal is a rebirth is universal because it's a pattern and a rhythm that is ancient and primordial and full of Shakti.
And full of life force, and we can't deny it, we just can't deny it, even if we want to bury our head in the sand, right? It's still happening. It's still happening. These forces, these mysteries are always working. Even if you don't feel like anything's going on, or even if you are maybe in your liberation or you're in your emerging, you've just done the dying, right?
You're still somewhere in this rebirth cycle, okay? For those of you who are aware that you're in emerging or liberation, awesome. Go for it. Live it. Live it. Live it. And I'm not trying to be a party pooper, but there will be another initiation, but the more consciously you do this, you'll see it, you'll know it's coming.
And I won't say you'll be ready for it, but you'll be open to it. You'll be in your feminine openness, right? Now, if you're like, "I don't feel anything," this is one of those times where it might be just something subtle. It might be such a small realignment, right? That you're only going to notice it in hindsight.
I've had that happen. "Oh, that's why that happened. That's why I went through that initiation. I see it now." Because it's so subtle. And I think that's fine. I think we can work on becoming more conscious, more present to that. Even the subtle ones. Really being present to your life, really having a sacred relationship with your life.
But I want to challenge you a little bit because sometimes the universe and our soul are just trying to get our attention, but we're not listening. We're not listening. Either it's our conditioning or our fear or something is keeping us from leaning in. We're burying our head in the sand. We're pushing through.
And so this is when conscious rebirth just becomes so important, right? It's answering your soul's calling. It's answering the call, knowing that it's time to transform, and finding the bravery to raise your hand and do it. So, I have been your call to action today. If this is speaking to you, if, man, I know it.
I've been avoiding it. I've been avoiding looking at it. It's scary. I don't want to go there. Join me for initiation because, like I said, I'm doing it with you, and we're all going to do it together. We're all going to go through the process
together. We're going to take a look at what needs to die.
We're going to discover what's out there for us, and we're going to see how divine it is. That's actually the rhythm, right? But that's what we're gonna do. Day one, that's death day. We're gonna look at what needs to die and what needs to shed. Day 2, that's discover day. That's where we're gonna integrate. We're gonna look at, "What wisdom's here for me? There's something here. It wouldn't die if it didn't need to, what's here?" And then on day 3, that is our divine day. We're going to look at the feminine codes, feminine mysteries around rebirth.
We're going to look at a framework to help you reclaim rebirth and really bravely, consciously step into this process. And we're going to just see how divine that is and how sacred it is for us. So, I would love, love, love for you to join me. You can sign up totally free at rootedfeminine.com/initiation.
And I will see you next time here in temple space.
