Detoxing from Patriarchal Programming - its not "them", it's in YOU!

To pause and rest and BE with yourself is TO HONOR your inner feminine.

So many of us have been indoctrinated to believe that to “achieve” is everything.

We are constantly seeking to be productive and this is a result of patriarchal programming.

We’ve disconnected from our natural rhythms.

Our core sense of worth has become woven in our accomplishments.

For so many of us, the art of simply BEING and not DOING is terribly uncomfortable.

Why? Because There is an ancient aspect of ouR energy that is frozen in the “fight or flight”response and therefore we develop an unconscious inner hyper vigilant need to prove our worth and even our rite to exist!?!

So where is your CORE WORTH tied up?

Is it in the money you make?

The number of FB or Instagram followers you have?

The state of your relationship?

How well your kids act? How many clients you work with?

Your weight?

How ageless your look?

How beautiful your home is?

The number of friends you have?

It takes an enormous effort to choose to release oneself from this programming.

Having done it, I can tell you it’s probably like a drug detox. The inner patriarchal programming literally has to come up and out.

The body will be so uncomfortable as it doesn’t yet know how to (naturally) relax and be in the present moment.

The mind must face its deepest fears of failure.

All trapped emotions must transmute.

It’s a process.

But one that is so worth committing to!!

How do you start?

1) notice where you are addicted to validation

2) understand that it’s your free will CHOICE to remove yourself from the do do do patriarchal-programming

3) begin to associate VALUE to your times of rest, sacred pause, silence and inner stillness.

4) be so very gentle and patient with yourself as your transitioning.

5) say aloud a million times a day…. I ALLOW MYSELF TO BE EXACTLY AS I AM. (until it becomes your truth)

I love you!
