LOVE LANGUAGE

When I threw on this champagne pink and faux fur look

I found my self instantly shift into a mood that was soft and romantic. I was envisioning scenes standing upon a lantern lit balcony with a massive full moon beaming down upon me, I was then dancing in a candle lit ballroom with lights flickering revealing the essence of a smile on my lover’s face.

Romantic love is a vital component in feeling fulfillment in this lifetime. There really is no way around it as love is the universal language, the one thing that no matter where you go in this world it is understood vividly. No matter how much of a solitary face someone may present, everybody wants to be understood by somebody.

The thing about Romantic partnership is that it springs up at entirely different times for every individual which makes it easy to slip into an energy of insecurity or jealousy if it isn’t your current time for this type of romance and you begin comparing your story with the stories of others. Remember every life, every story is different. It may be that someone is ready for true love in their chapter 6 but for you it isn’t written in until chapter 9. Divine timing is always at hand so trust that anytime something is withheld from your world it is only because you still have lessons to learn before you’re ready for it or you have space to clear so that you may actually have room for what you’re asking for.

If in this moment you find yourself single does that mean you should not be experiencing romantic love? Absolutely not! Being single is even more reason to invite romance into your world. I am a firm believer that by treating yourself as if you are your partner, which means learning your own love language, taking yourself out on dates and adventures, talking to yourself the way you expect to be talked to by your future lover, and offering comfort to yourself even if

you are frustrated with yourself. I pose this question, if we do not first know how to love ourselves how can we ever expect to be fully vulnerable in relationship? Better yet how can we expect to choose partners that actually speak our love language if we ourselves don’t know what it is?

By treating yourself as if you are your true love (which you are!!) you are basically telling the universe, “okay this how I expect to be treated in partnership” and now the universe can serve you what you’ve asked for. We must realize that when we treat ourselves unkindly and do not offer ourselves our love it is no coincidence that we end up attracting partners who treat us the very same way... then the infamous question arises “how come nobody ever loves me the same way I love them?” Because, Sweet Soul, you must love yourself first, wholeheartedly and then your divine counterpart will simply appear. Effortlessly. Until then we will find ourselves repeating the same lessons under the guise of different faces.

I also find that openly discussing with yourself and Spirit what exactly you’re looking for and what type of experiences you’d like to share together brings your future partner towards you even quicker. Be specific so there can be do doubts about the clarity in your heart, but do NOT focus on what you do not want. By being specific with yourself and Spirit about what you’re looking for it also makes it easier to discern through your romantic options. Trust that there will be people who pop up who are not right for you and it is important to not fall into the temptation of being with someone simply because they are there. Every time you use your discernment to pass by someone who is not resonate for you, you are weaving yourself closer and closer to your match. Don’t worry about making the wrong decision. If you don’t feel true soul resonance or a mutual soul language then do not force it to be, you do not have to sign up and learn every lesson that is presented before you nor do you have to settle in love, despite what may be projected by the masses about “asking for too much.”

If in this moment you are in partnership it is so important to stay in a constant state of appreciation both for your partner as well the divine who brought you two together. Romantic love is truly one of the most blessed experiences you can live and breath through, the more you show gratitude for what’s in front of you the more Spirit will provide you will opportunities to experience greater love together.

Do not think for a moment that you’ve gotten to a point in your relationship where your partner should just simply know how you feel about them and their importance in your world. The consistent demonstration of love is what makes relationships lasting. By staying in a place of open expression you continuously breath new life into your love relationship.

It is beyond possible to stay in union with one soul for the majority of your lifetime, but it going to take consistent energy, determination and a willingness to grow and expand together without the constraints of an ego driven mind. True lasting love must be vulnerable and without the cloak of pride.

Today, no matter what the circumstances of your romantic life are in be willing to ask yourself what you can do to bring greater love and experience into your world, and into the world of those whom you love.

last night I dreamt of you again, for a moment I thought perhaps I’d found myself in heaven. When I opened my eyes I was blinded by the light of a new day, I rolled over and there you were. Heaven after all.

Would you like to take a trip into my world? A dip into my visions of love. Just take my hand, I’ll lead you from this broken glass society into rose gold divinity.

I am a woman dripping in soft pink mystery, but I’d like to show you the parts of me only the divine has seen. Soft secrets whispered in your ear, my intentions becoming more and more clear. You just smile, gentle knowing expanding your psyche. It feels so good to be home.

Without removing my clothing, I stand before you completely naked. Vulnerable in the knowing that you are unraveling my fears and hesitations one strand at a time. A pile of doubts are left abandoned on the floor. We both smile as we make our way to the bed knowing full well what’s in store.

I release my need to define reality as you show me new glimpses of fantasy with every breath, every stroke of a strong hand against my soft face. Yesterday, today and tomorrow, all we are is all we are in love.

Let’s build castles in the sky, you and I. The royal blood of ancient divinity flows through our beings, let’s dance in the ballroom of our greatest desires.

Beneath a pink moon my wildest dreams came true. In its reflection I saw myself and knew true love. I blinked and then there was you, true love too.

ENFOLDING THE WILD STORM

My favorite thing about this silver & grey look was that it made feel fierce and electric like a true wild storm. Often in this modern world when something is called wild it often in reference to something erratic, misbehaved or just over all socially unacceptable. Because of this common misusage of the word

many believe that to be considered wild would be an insult. To be wild is to be free, unchained and utterly without restraint. To be wild means a refusal to conform to the standards that others have set before you, instead choosing to honor the beat of your heart and the wisdom of your own internal compass.

A major source of wild inspiration for me with the wild Divine Feminine archetype Lilith. While there are many different stories and beliefs that circle around Lilith for me she is an embodiment of true feminine strength in that she refused to be subservient to Adam. As a woman fully cognizant of my own power I absolutely reject the idea of becoming subservient to anybody other than the divine itself. Lilith’s willingness to be cast into shadow rather than be forced to lie on her back while Adam had his way is for me a reminder that authenticity to ones own truth must come above all else. Serpents are a powerful totem associated with Divine Feminine energy and are particular to Lilith and Medusa, another individual who’s story is blotted out to fit a more male positive storyline. Snakes are sensual, fluid and ever changing as a living metaphor for the cycles of life, death and rebirth with the way they shed their outworn skins. Whenever I am working with snake energy I feel my most untouchable, my most breathlessly beautiful with my rhythms. Snakes too are animals considered to be from a source of darkness, for me it begs the question why in this masculine driven world the things associated with feminine power (snakes, witchcraft, the color black, divination, etc) are considered evil. Though I think the answer lies in demonizing the very thing one knows could bring their position of power into question, it is my greatest hope and true belief that by leading from a place of authentic femininity we can pave the way back to balance between feminine & masculine energy on a global scale. We are meant to stand in equanimity and reciprocity... one step at a time this world will see and we shall know balance restored.

One thing that links all possessors of divine femininity is a depth of emotional capacity that is truly almost indescribable . The closest I can find to describe what it feels like to literally feel and sense the entirety of the world around you is like having a storm within you. While this storm is beautiful it is also unpredictable. I’m sure every Empath who stumbles across this knows exactly what I’m talking about. A major key is to stop trying to fight against the storm and realize we are the ones creating the storm and inhabiting it in the same breath. There are two common issues that tend to creep up for empaths, the first is a perceived inability to disconnect from the stimulation when around other people. Many Empaths find themselves withdrawing from events and social gatherings they’d love to be apart of because they feel so much of the energy of everyone else around them. In these scenarios we must simply reclaim our power. The divine would not offer you a gift such as empathy or intuition and then not also offer you the tool to utilize it properly. I recommend carrying crystals such as Labradorite, Kunzite or Mahogany Obsidian anytime entering an environment with lots of energy you’re unfamiliar or uncomfortable with. Allow them to merge with your energy and become a talisman of energetic protection for you. All the power we need is in our own hands, remember. It is also helpful beyond measure to call in your light (great spirit, your guides, your ancestors) to create a energetic shield of protection for you. Ask and you shall receive, so long as you believe.

The second issue that tends to creep up for Empaths is

the desire to minimize, hide or run away from our own emotions. Having such a deep emotional capacity if not handled with care can begin to feel depleting which is why many try to suppress the feelings entirely. When this happens our emotions don’t lie dormant for long and have a natural tendency to creep up again an unexpected and often detrimental moments. It’s in these moments that the internal storm becomes destructive, we slip into moments of self destruction unable to get a grip on why we’re “suddenly feeling like this out of nowhere” even though the truth of the matter is our subconscious has just finally reached its boiling point.

The most successful way to transmute the emotions you don’t want to carry any longer into energy where it may be released back into the earth and then be reused for the greater good is by simply allowing yourself to freely and authentically feel your emotions, whatever they may be in the moment they occur without trying to alter them or persuade them into being something else with your mind. This means if something makes you sad then in that moment you must be sad so that in the next moment you may be free of its lingering hold on you. Sometimes these moments may last quite a while, there could be several or more days straight where you wake up feeling the same sadness. Honor the sadness, Observe it and let it flow through you. It is so much more beneficial to approach yourself from a place of unconditional love by first acknowledging your emotions and secondly inquiring within to see if there may be something you can do for yourself to help the healing process (perhaps treating yourself to something special, even if it’s just your own time and energy) without ever once trying to force yourself to feel differently. This is how we allow our inner storms to calm themselves. By holding space for ourselves, no matter how much time it requires, then we find ourselves realizing one day the clouds have parted and the sun is shining upon the surface of our waters once more.

“She’s wicked” they say but she sends them red roses anyway. She just slithers on her way, sheds their perceptions like old skin, and begins tending the flowers again. Love is in bloom even when they don’t recognize the source.

Rebel angel, heart swept away by the divine, a figure so divine it must be sinful. Baby let’s burn together.

Mythic woman, what sea did your rise from? Who’s eye did you spring from? For surely just in breath you are divinity.

Magical black woman, Fire in your soul, Earth in your bones. Don’t ever let anyone define your magick, your blood runs with the gold of the divine.

You are a force of nature, created by nature herself, intended to be most graceful in wild abandon

Like the moon we flow and feel in phases. Some are dark, some are light, all of them are a part of the heavens.

A vision of love, exploding with feeling. Technicolor whirls of unfolding majesty, all I can do is ride the wave of cosmic wonder, surrendering to the notion my sensitivity is not a burden but the key to my monumental destiny.

SENSUAL AWAKENING II

My sensuality is as important to me as my spirituality because in truth, for me, they are one in the same breath. My body is a vehicle for the divine and every time I experience sensual pleasure it is an act of worship and connection to the force of universal love.

While erotic love is a divine way to express sensuality, one of my favorites, there are so many infinite ways to exude your sensual nature. In truth our senses govern the way we feel throughout the entirety of our life. You must feel, touch, taste, envision and hear the sounds of love grace themselves upon you to truly know sensual pleasure.

Allowing yourself to feel the rhythms of your favorite music and letting it move your body in time to its beat, savoring the feel of water as it cascades down your body, freely painting and allowing your imagination to run wild, enjoying delicious fruit and letting its nectar dribble down your chin... these are all divine expressions of sensuality. The ways we can drop into our body and experience pleasure are truly limitless.

Sensuality easily traces its source back to the divine and yet we live in a world that demonizes the expression of our sensuality and sexual nature as sinful behavior. To be at home enough in your human vessel to express your pleasure freely is in truth a grand gesture to the divine of your willingness to merge your soul and spirit with your physical being.

To be able to express your sensual self freely with a beloved is one of the most blessed gifts the universe can hand you and should not be taken lightly. It is freedom, it is bliss, it is the ultimate connection to source energy. Erotic freedom truly only comes hand in hand with divine partnership and we must be willing to discern who we give our essence to, otherwise we find ourselves depleting our sacred sexual energy and pouring it into individuals who take but do not know how to reciprocate. Reciprocity is one of the key ingredients to experience true erotic & emotional fulfillment.

With each Solar Return I discover myself sinking deeper and deeper into my sensual nature at the same time I see the divinity reaching magnificent heights. This simply cannot be by coincidence. I invite you, if you have not already to dive deep into the pools of your sensual realms... you just may be surprised by the majesty that you uncover.

Join me for dinner, tonight we’re having forbidden fruit and elixir straight from the fountain of youth. Lipstick stains upon your neck, sultry smiles and mischievous whispers into your ear... Baby, that’s just the first course.

Dessert is you & I, side by side, lace untied, your sights set on unraveling the mystery behind my tiger eyes.

Let me see your wild side, I wanna see what happens when our fire collides. Baby, I’m in the mood for a slow burn.

Tell me, where do I end & you begin again? When you and I are entwined I can comprehend nothing more. All that exists is an eruption of light, universes born from the breath of a cosmic orgasm.

In the afterglow I forget the existence of all shadow. Heaven speaks to me once more as dawn breaks and your silhouette is framed in love as the blazing sun dances through the window.
