The Wild, Wild Woman

What does it mean to be a wild woman?  Lately, I have been reading Women Who Run With the Wolves, hungrily, with keen pacing. I’m savoring, and speeding through, and slowing down, and going back, and skipping forward all up and through this wonderful collection of analyzed myths that remind us of the innate power of the primal self. Written by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves explores the intricacies of innate instincts of the wild woman archetype. LISTEN: Wild Woman Playlist    What is a wild woman?

Self-love Rituals to Make Everyday Valentine’s Day

The month of February, we will focus on defying and redefining love.

In the last post, I asked:

• What does creating a healthy relationship with yourself look like? 
• What does obsessing over you look like?
• What does loving yourself look like?

In this post, I want to discuss some self love ideas and rituals you can easily incorporate on a daily basis to fall more and more in love with yourself.

Before starting, I want to say that the best self love ritual you can do it one you create with your intuition. Even the mantras I include should be tweaked so they are specific to you and your needs.

For me, self love includes a lot of dancing (twerking is ancestral, we can discuss this one on one if necessary), singing, massages, sunlight, healthy eating, words of affirmation, among other things. While I will list some general rituals here that will be supportive for you, I recommend connecting with your higher self and creating your own self love rituals you can incorporate regularly.

Self Love Ritual Inspired by Oshun (OSHUNITA ritual STEP-BY-STEP)

Oshun is the Yoruba orisha (spirit, deity, or goddess) of fresh waters, love, and divination. She is often pictured admiring herself in a mirror. Because of her undeniable sex appeal, many see her self admiration as vain, vapid, or shallow. 

Au contraire. 

There’s an endless power in self-love and self-reflection. Self-love is never being afraid of seeing yourself and admiring yourself. Respecting your worth. Understanding ourselves. Forgiving ourselves. Improving ourselves. 

Oshun teaches us that there is magic in loving and admiring yourself. Oshun shows us there is magic in self-confidence. Oshun wants us to know the magic in looking in the mirror.
