Wild-Woman Within
"insanity is repeatedly doing the same
thing and expecting different results".
Releasing the Wild-Woman Within
By tapping into your wild self you can relax and let your
sexuality free.
By Ladyfire Editor Debora Myers
In most cultures over the ages the patriarchy have repressed
women to the extent that we are no longer in touch with our
deepest primordial selves. Our instinctual natures, the seat
of our souls has been under siege and it's high time we work
on getting back in touch with the wild woman within. I am
not implying that we must toss the baby carriage. Not at
all, but we must dig down and ignite that soul-fire, be true
to our inner natures so that we can be well balanced
individuals connected with the earth, the higher powers and
with each other. There is a big difference between being
subservient and being true to our nurturing natures.
Subservience comes from social pressure and fear. Nurturing
comes from the heart with love.
Many European and Oriental myths surrounding the essence of
the wild woman show that the repression and rejection of the
creative life force, the wild woman essence can twist and
turn that force into a destructive and crazy energy.
The vital, wild life energy is suppressed and broken down by
the civilizing of children at an early age. This transaction
of repressing the spontaneous actions is the beginning of
the end of our wild intuitiveness.
Yes, we do need to behave, control some of our urges if we
are to live together in a society without harming others or
ourselves. But with that, we must learn to allow ourselves
to maintain our connections with the elements and our basic
life fires. A good friend of mine always said "Don't should
on yourself". Does it come from the heart or from obligation
and what society expects from you? We could avoid many
illnesses and bad relationships if we just act and "behave"
true to our inner natures or heart's desires.
It may take years of affirming and reprogramming our
conscious mind to let our passions flow out. The first step
you can take when you feel a need to do something creative,
or something for yourself is to "just do it". Catch yourself
when you constantly put the paperwork or the laundry ahead
of your soul time. Affirm that it is important to feed your
wild self and it is a must to nurture yourself as well as
your loved ones. Remember that an empty vessel cannot pour.
The next time you see the children running through the park
and think, oh to be young again, get up out of your seat and
run with them. One day I was running and twirling with my
daughter and her friends at the park where I noticed a mom
waiting for her kids in her car. Her daughter stopped and
watched us for a couple minutes and then went to her car and
pulled her mommy out. She followed her daughter to the
swings; the two of them played, laughed and had a good time.
I caught the other mom's eye and we shared a moment of pure
wild child bliss.
Your sexual soul urge is deeply connected to your
instinctual nature. By tapping into your wild self you can
relax and let your sexuality free. Feed your sex. Dream,
fantasize, and create your own animal. Most of all have fun
and experiment and get to the root of your being. Let it
out! Make sure you have some quiet reflection time to listen
to yourself and tune into your needs. Then make them a
reality. No one is going to do it for you!
