I am looking forward to learning about the aggressive energy treatment. I have not learned it before!

Hi Lauren, I just wanted to come back to your post. I am a bit of a “digester”, I dont know if that is a word but I will often read, come back later, re-read, integrate and sense my way through posts. Since getting to know you I have been able to do that from a multi-dimensional perspective. I relate to witch wounds, not wanting to draw too much attention to oneself, fear of being one’s self, and putting a protective barrier around myself such as being nice, getting good grades, people pleasing etc. I too found myself numbing out in my teens really up until a few years ago. At which point I started to see myself for who I actually am, deep down and finding what I was looking for which was me. Not the person I was told to be, not the wounded person, no labels, just me. What a wild ride. It isn’t comfortable and it isn’t easy. The ride is far from over but I am looking forward to helping each other get to where our soul’s are calling us to go in this lifetime. Thank you for opening up, I often find that speaking is transformative, like it is a healing spell, it is no longer inside us but when it is released healing and alchemy can occur. Glad to do it in this safe space with you.

Hi Daniel, yesterday I had gone through and read each of Goldessence’s (group 4 🙂 PM posts, and was wondering if I had missed yours. It was also a busy work day and a thought crossed my mind, should I text Daniel and see if I had missed his post? I decided against it, as you would likely post when you and your PM was ready to be seen, and I would see it when it was time. I received confirmation when I saw the email alert for your post this morning. I feel like you took me on a journey with your post. Thank you for showing up and being vulnerable. When each one of us gets a little deeper, I feel the entirety of the group grow (both our small groups and the larger one). I am grateful you are here, on your own journey and on a journey with each one of us. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Amy. Thank you for sharing this part of you and your life, I commend you for being open and vulnerable as we often have to do, for that deep alchemical healing. I relate to knowing things cognitively (ie that men are not better than women for example), but having a hard time not letting that message penetrate our beings and getting stuck in us. I also have a problem with the masculine/feminine qualities that show up in the world, and the systems in which we operate (often subconsciously and unknowingly). Here is to a year exploring and alchemizing together. I am excited to see what can happen for you and all of us.

Thanks for sharing Lauren. I too, like Lorie, started to tear up with emotion as I went through this thread. I remember treating a post partem depression patient early in my career and I felt the same feelings come up in me that I had when I read this. I gave her acupuncture and a homeopathic remedy, and I had no idea if it was going to work. Later I found out she hadn’t come back because she was feeling incredibly better, and was functioning in the world again. Obviously a different case but I have a feeling that you helped her more than you know. I think that Benjamins suggestion of Grief Relief is great one, in addition if it is called for, maybe Grace by FES would be helpful down the line. I have recommended that one for feminine trauma, it smells like rose and is lovely. Lauren, it sounds like you took what you know and used your inner sense to guide the treatment and let it flow. How beautiful for both you and the patient. I thank Vicki for sharing as well. Thank you all.

This was my very first time working with black spruce. My body felt sense before I began was a higher level of anxiety than normal swirling throughout me, and I felt particularly unsafe and ungrounded. And I remembered my black spruce EO came in the mail a few days ago, then I remembered you wanted us to put it on KD1 and I felt it was the perfect time for it. The scent is strong and it smells dark and strong to me, like the thickness of a mountain forest with dark fertile soil (I grew up going to the Adirondacks). It was a little heady at first maybe bc I sniffed too strongly due to one nostril having less smell sense than the other lol. but soon after I noticed my body felt sense was that it was moving downward, like throwing dirt into a small body of water, drifting down. The visualization I had was that it was soothing my nerves which looked like roots and rhizomes throughout my body, a bit more strongly as it got to my feet at which point there was a heavy anchoring sensation. At one point I felt as if the black spruce was a soothing balm to my nerves. I’d like to see what happens over the next days and weeks as I get to know black spruce a little bit more.

This was so interesting to read, and I often want to read everything really quickly but when I got to the second paragraph I was like, ok I need to take this in, and I started from the beginning. I have been in touch with little me, but I do not know if I have ever been in touch with older, wiser me. Definitely not to the same extent. And that is kind of blowing my mind!! I think I will go meet her today. Thank you, I enjoy the perspective of entelechy this passage gave me.

Happy belated birthday! What beautiful birthday gifts came your way. I am happy to be able to read more about your prima materia, in addition to what we discussed in our group. SO fascinating about the Nile and the lack of fertile soil. Every time we talk about this work we signed up for, I think about learning about the Nile and its fertile soil in grade school. Also interesting how you relate this to your natal chart. Cant wait to hear more about your PM process and natal chart, water signs. I am also interested in your medium ship- I have some experience there but cannot really control when it happens. If that is something that you’d like to talk about more I would be open to that. Have a beautiful year!

I was going to ask if I could take both together! Thank you for being supportive and providing a safe space/platform to “stretch my wings” or so to speak and stand up for myself. As a woman I historically felt that I had to put up with things, particularly from men, and be a nice girl. And when I had to stand up for myself in the past, that was often met with silence and no support. Which at times made me feel like I was in the wrong, or that I shouldn’t have my boundaries or say anything. I think that this experience is helping me shift that narrative in my self, and I hope that gives other people the permission to do so as well. My thinking is that I would love to be able to be so strong within myself that it doesn’t matter if I have outside support, down the line. Bringing it back to my PM is that maybe one day I can learn to feel safe and secure in myself and give my nervous system a break. Hopefully growing that muscle now! I decided to share when I had the thought – what if this comes up for someone else, or if they are having a similar experience. I am also shy at times so that was not easy but I knew it was something I wanted to share for my own growth and that of the group.

Thank you Lorie! I would love suggestions for breath work. I have some go -to’s and am open to learning new ones. The problem sometimes for me is, instead of zoning it all out is actually doing the work and the practice. I think I often feel burnt out or chronically fatigued bc of all the processing that occurs within my mind and body. I am working on that! Thanks for your feedback and support.

Thank you! I have Aspen, what a lovely suggestion. Since you posted this Lorie suggested Pink Yarrow which hasn’t come in yet. That one I had to order but also sounds like a good ally.

Happy belated birthday Benjamin!

Thank you for your thoughtful reply! Omg how cute, squishy eye kitty!
I think my intuition plays a pretty big role when I “see” people, so when I follow my intuition sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it doesn’t (to an outside perspective). For example, a patient left a review for me recently, and said that I know what’s going on with them before they tell me. I am not sure if this describes it well, but I think it is the best I can do right now. I actually thought about my reply to you a lot, but don’t know that I am verbalizing it well 🙂
I appreciate your kind words and curiosity of my experience! Hopefully we can discuss more in the future!
