Heart Cracked Open? Let the Goddess in.
This year has been a difficult one for many of us. From transitions in career, relationships, to losses and political chaos. One way or another, the collective is going through a shift. I have spoken about my personal heartbreak this year during some of our calls, and since we are now out of Eclipse energy, I feel I am ready to share some deep insights that have helped me in my healing process, which has led me to a new perspective in life. First, I want to share that we just entered into the Fall Equinox, which marks the nine nights of Durga Devi, Navaratri! From Sept. 22nd to Oct. 2nd. The energy of the Dark Goddess allows us to move through the different forms and blessings these nights hold. Biggest takeaways from unrequited love: 1️⃣ Not everyone can hold what you hold. Some people may have good intentions and theoretically want to hold a container of devotion, but they are unable to actualize that in real time. Others are manipulative, so give space to see someone’s real capacity. 2️⃣ Give time for commitment. In the beginning stages, confrontation and disagreement is a telling point to see if this person’s conflict management style is compatible with yours. For example, someone can show up wholeheartedly, but once uncomfortable or in an uneasy situation, they show where they are unhealed or unwilling to go to meet you in those shadow areas. 3️⃣ Be honest and authentic. By stating your truth and showing up authentically, it allows someone to know you fully and see if they can truly handle you, or if it’s too much. It’s better to find out earlier than later. 4️⃣ The past is the past for a reason. Although we learn from our past relationships, there is no reason to bring up names, details, etc. This helps to start a clean slate and to stop any projections. If you need to express personal issues, you do so with a close confidante or trusted leader. 5️⃣ Soothe and regulate your nervous system. Relationships are mirrors to some of our most ideal and also shadow selves. It is easy to be triggered by the actions of another. If you need to share and state boundaries, you must do so with a grounded nervous system. What could be an honest need can be looked at as an insecurity depending on how it is delivered. Have tough conversations when you feel full, not empty or enraged.
