Your Embodied YESSSSSSS

Aries Eclipse, much? Mercury in Gatorade? ...Find your YESSSSSSS by feeling what you don't like. Own your relationship to your Divinity.

It began with a houseguest, then my pup got a bad case of stress colitis (aka doggie diarrhea), then more guests. For a long while, my days were: Cooking, cleaning carpets, endless laundry, and wiping dog butt (sorry to be graphic). Welcome to my Aries Eclipse, and Mercury in Aries, retrograde.

Aries falls in both my 6^th house of pets, housework, service and 7^th house of other people. I have felt unnaturally annoyed, grumpy, resistant; naturally I didn’t want to be saddled with any of this! Plus, I had been happily working on my latest manuscript and this fun thing had to be temporarily shelved.

Warrior Aries season is stressful -even without a solar eclipse (4/8) or Mercury retrograde (thru 4/26)! Yet my need for stress relief has put me in touch with a deeper well of resource, and a way through.

Your Relationship to Your Divinity

I’d like to talk for a minute or two about your relationship to your Divinity.

It never seemed Right that the human who suffers, and the Divine who is capable of ALL THINGS, are on separate pages. Think of religion. Religion teaches that the human is a small sinner, Source is almighty, and the two only meet in rare moments (and the Divine is always gonna be better/more). This isn’t limited to religion. Even progressive spiritual teachers like Rev. Michael Beckwith suggest we transcend Ego (human self) in favor of merging with Oneness - which, bless him, strikes me as a very old paradigm thing to say.

The problem is, when we think that Source help is external to us…faith, trust, magic, miracles, acceptance, forgiveness, abiding peace, surrender, all the beautiful energies we love… we will FEEL that way! We FEEL help is just out of reach. We find it easier to FEEL small and powerless, instead of I AM.

this verse is from Beyonce's Lemonade tour. It is also in the bible. Ugh.

(p.s.- Of all my gripes with how humans regard G**, putting Source/Divine outside of you is a main one. I feel this subconscious Conditioning runs so invisibly deep that most of us experience this in ways we don’t trust our Self -in ways that we stop our Self *just short* of full-on magic & empowerment.)

You Are The I AM

I’ve said this before; you ARE bigger than* this*: The dog pooping every 2 hours, or your stressor of the moment. You are so much bigger. Yep, you are Human; you will meet with annoyance, suffering, pain. But you are also Divine; you are limitless in your capacity to BE in any experience, and feel and be okay-both. This is Truth. It is as True as the Sun’s rise and set.

You Are the I AM. You are bliss, ease, grace, peace and beauty. Knowing who you truly are doesn’t mean you can manifest everything you choose to think about, but it does mean that you KNOW you are capable of Magnificent heights and depths in a mere shift of your: Perception, perspective, energy. It also means that you have this Resource within yourself. You are NOT only the small human, helpless to some mysterious whimsical being. You are the I AM.

Find Your YESSSS

Today, as I did my daily practices, I thought: Jessica, you really are a practice person! I am very practical in this way. I don’t want to just believe a thing, I want to KNOW the Truth deeply in myself. So, I practice it. This is why the books I write take me years. I actually DO what I write about, offer, teach.

Over the years of doing my intuitive energy work - which I could describe as awakening, releasing conditioning, coming back into embodying my own Divine Feminine True Self - a few things have become apparent to me:

o   The feminine receives, heals and manifests through the BODY and FEELING. You can’t shift anything of substance without being in your body around it. You cannot shift paradigms without feeling all of it. You cannot manifest anything differently without…being in your embodied feelings.

o   To the Divine Feminine, everything is a YES. Or more accurately a YESSSSSSSS. Does this shock you? Well, she accepts ALL. No judgment. And this is how it feels, when you are IN YOUR BODY: A yummy, delicious YESSSSSSSS. She is a Source of total Acceptance and Ease With What Is. She capably accepts everything in your experience- through FEELING it.

o   The way to connect to this lovely, embodied, yummy YESSSSS is through FEELING. Even the “negative” feelings you experience, once you hold the intention to feel them, then drop them down into your lower body… She who is you says YESSSSSSS. Ooohh. This is GOOD.

o   By regarding feelings as sacred (EVEN THE HARD ONES) and dropping them down into the Root of your pelvic bowl, you can encounter your own Divinity; the aspect of your Self who is just so damn eager and excited to say YESSSS to your entire experience. The full enchilada. All of it. Why? Because life is crazy, full of many contradictions and nutty experiences. She KNOWS. She UNDERSTANDS. That’s why we’re here – to experience all of it. And, good news: She is right here, too, and she WANTS TO HELP!

o   P.S. This YESSSSS does not mean: Condoning a wrong action, or not drawing boundaries when you need them, or anything else that puts you out of integrity with yourself. Rather, the YESSSSS is the way forward and through. It is intimacy with yourself, with your own Soul; it is intimacy with your Awareness. It is inner listening. You can only take actions you need to take, with total clarity, after feeling what you resist, or don’t like.

me, in Kailua-Kona Hawaii. This is how I feel when I'm in my I AM, my YESSSS.

A Divine Practice

When I drop into my embodiment, and connect with my Light, as described, all the annoyances, frustrations, and things I have a hard time accepting about life…just melt away. What shifts? I meet the YESSSS in myself*.

Here’s how it works: Once I’m fully in my body (you can use any of my practices in my podcast to arrive in your body), one by one, I dunk down each emotion into my pelvic bowl. In this case, I dunk down: Frustration with houseguests (YESSSSSSSSSS!); a poopy and sh**y dog (oh YESSSSSSS!), more guests (OMG YESSSSSSS!); sooooo tired (YESSSSSSS!); sick of being hostess (YESSSSSS!); I WANT to be treated like a Queen/Goddess…like they are (OH YESSSSSS!); I WANT John to take me out and spoil me (YESSSSSSSSSSSS). And so on.

Here’s how it FEELS:

That feeling you don’t like? …

Once met with YESSSSSS, melts away. Like liquid honey.

This may feel like a lake of Light expanding, growing, filling up your belly.

It may feel like liquid waves rolling over your solar plexus.

It may feel like a Sunrise or Sunset, expanding throughout your pelvic bowl.

One thing is for certain: The YESSSSSSSS always feels GOOD.

She, who is you, only wants you to feel good…or get back to feeling good.

This is so damn beautiful, this practice. And you don’t have to wait another second: You can have this relationship to yourself now. This is how YOUR Embodied Feminine Divinity can help you in very practical ways, right now.

*Then you can become the YESSSSSSSSS. That’s when this practice becomes next level, friends. As in: You discover your Divinity, within.

…Did you try this? How did it go? I would love to know.
