RAPTURE The Goddess and Her Consort

New Moon, Beltane 2014nature lover

On this deep dark moon, there are whispers of excitement all around. The flowers dance in anticipation. The green shoots rise up, alert and expectant. The water bubbles and the faeries delight in the joy of what is to come.

It is Beltane. It is the celebration of Life.

The Goddess opens to Her Consort. The fertile Earth jubilantly receives the warmth of the Sun. The Divine Feminine joins together with the Divine Masculine in the Spirit of Creation, and consciousness is born.

It is this union that creates the magic of new life.

It is this alchemical union that ensures the growth and abundance necessary to sustain life and makes the world go round.

And it is what we are all seeking, deep down: Alchemical Relationship. We want to experience the magic of creation unfolding with each blessed moment. We want to embody the Goddess and the God, together. 

Easier said than done? Perhaps. And so we look to Nature. We coax the Sun to shine boldly down onto the Earth withour songs, our laughter and our prayers. We lure Him with the generous expressions of our love. We welcome Him for all that He is, and we show up in our fullness to receive Him.

We can dear sisters. We will. We are.
It is time.

And so it is.

Wishing you a delicious Beltane full of sensual delight ~

The Art of Letting Go: Steps to creating a personal rites of passage and opening to freedom by Om Collection Ombassador and Spirit Warrior

SWAHA~To give it to the fire. To bring in your boundless potential. To shed, dissolve, dissipate. To begin anew.
I am sweating my ass off ‘round a fire on a beach with a small group of people I don’t 
know. I have a drum between my legs, the rhythm comes through me, the rhythmic cadence opens my heart and I find my center. I feel inside and play until my hands hurt. I pray, I chant, I burn it; I am letting go-throwing it into the fire. I feel the release and then I dance with my inner goddess, I give thanks. I have experienced my own little rights of passage. My spirit soars.
OMbassador Jill Emich
I highly recommend it….
You don’t need to be on a beach, heck, you don’t even need a fire, all you need is to be willing.
What is it you DESIRE to LET GO of to FEEL FULLY ALIVE? Is it that scathing wound from a past relationship, feelings of rejection or not feeling good enough, a reaction at a love one you wish you could take back, the guilt from spending to much time surfing the net aimlessly?! We all have stuff we need to peel away to let our souls fully SHINE. It is vital to let go of what doesn’t serve so we can be fully aware and alive to the magic that is all around us. 
An invitation to let go….
1. Name it. Loud and clear. No pussy footing, get real with it. Stare it in the face-WIDE eyed.
2. Get into your body. Whatever you need to do to do that. Deep breaths, dance, move your body in a way that lets you in, sink your feet into cool grass, TAP IN to your body and into your essence. Feel into the pain and to what lies underneath. Go into the layers.
3. Release. Whether that is actually writing it down and burning it, saying it into a rock and tossing it into the ocean or river, praying for mother earth to take it and dissipate it, screaming into a pillow…. Whatever it is, RID YOURSELF.
4. Replace the anger, fear, resentment, and guilt, with healing, newness, expansion, love, compassion, and EMPOWERMENT. Feel this refueling your soul.
Do this practice weekly, monthly, daily, whenever you are needing to let go and recharge with love and joy. Recommit to living a radiant passionate life.
I invite you. 
I commend you in your courage. You are beautiful.
Please feel free to share your ways of creating your personal rites of passage. I would love to hear your processes.
In love and light~Jill

In honor of the heart - Ombassador Jill Emich shares her personal exploration

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” ― Brené Brown

In honor of the heart.

This is an invitation for you to explore. Make this a journaling or meditation exercise to help open your heart and make you shine.
