Codes of Venus

Manifesto for an Enchanted Life

1. Everything around you is alive: believe it. Tell stories to stones, sing to trees, start conversations with birds. Build relationships. You’ll never be lonely again.

2. To be fully in your body is to be fully alive. Get out of your head and into the world.

3. Look for the wonder wherever you go. Be all your life, as American poet Mary Oliver suggested, 'a bride married to amazement'.

4. Embrace mystery – don’t be afraid of what you don’t know.

5. Cultivate your mythic imagination: the inner and outer landscape of myth.

6. Know your place. Learn to belong, because wherever you go, there you are. There is nowhere else real to be.

7. Cleave to the local and the ethical. Cultivate community spirit, and autonomy.

8. Slow down.

9. Create. Buy handmade. Live folklorically.

10. Don’t have a career: have a life. Find your calling – but, above all, find your meaning in the community of the world.

11. Foster meaningful ritual; make each day a ceremony, or make a ceremony in each day.

12. Cherish otherness, in all its forms; confront in yourself, and explore, the forms of otherness which make you uncomfortable or afraid.

13. Treasure change: it’s the stuff from which lives are forged. Stop looking for the eternal and immutable, and enter the daily dance with the transitory."

Hi loves, a little reminder to be gentle with yourself today. How is your womb doing? Have you greeted her today? If there is tension, what is your body telling you? Sit and observe this information.

Just a friendly reminder, you got this!

How your blossoming appears to the world does NOT matter! Whether your roots are breaking through soil barriers or your leaves are reaching towards the sky, it’s all part of YOUR process.

Our womb is part of an integrated system connected to our throat and heart center. Our emotional lives affect our nervous system which affects our pelvic muscles, circulation, flow and release of fluids, absorption + hormonal balance etc. Our jaw and pelvis mirror each other + are connected via a fascial line. Thus relaxing our jaw muscles helps relax our pelvic floor. Both jaw and pelvis are known as avenues of expression.

Where are my paradigm shifters at? Take up SPACE, let yourself be SEEN!

What energetic residue is your womb holding onto?
