Zivar is an artist, a mother, a wife, a free spirit.. a woman! Her energy is ever expanding and since crossing paths I’ve been intrigued by her. She’s helped me heal in so many ways, and given me subtle guidance in turning the attention inward once again. During today’s episode we had a deep discussion regarding our thoughts on self mothering, on love and on the importance of being present.

Zivar is devoted to healing our collective and personal wounds through community, the Divine Feminine, creativity and embodiment practices. She is currently working on a film, writing a book on Kabbalah and the moon, and lectures often on the art of visual storytelling. She also works with select clients in photography, branding, visual storytelling, and content creation. As humans we have the ability to regulate our physiology through moving, breathing and touching. By creating a safe environment for ourselves and others we are able to heal. It’s time to reparent, to mother the self and be the one you always needed. Let’s heal together.

ZIVAR’S FAVORITES Ritual, before bed or as you wake: Lay on your back with soles of feet on ground and knees up. Pour oil on your abdomen, into your belly button. I use Castor Oil with a bit of Clary Sage, you can use whatever feels most nurturing to you. Place one hand or both hands on gut. Begin to massage the oil into your abdomen in a counter-clockwise motion. One hand following the other. Be slow about it, deliberate and loving. Begin to say to yourself outloud -- I realse the need to ___ (control, be distracted, fear, hide), I release the need to ____ (another thing), etc. Allow yourself to release whatever big or seemingly small things have been disrupting the flow your gut, your intuitive knowing. Do this for a few minutes and then rest one hand on your gut, another on your heart. Breathe in and out three times, reminding your soul that your body is a safe and beautiful place to rest. Ritual especially helpful in moments of constipation (both emotional and physical).

Non-Negotiable Self-Care: Sex with my husband. I always feel so good, embodied and deeply seen through this act. I also find it incredibly healing, to feel so safe and experience pleasure in my body, as a survivor of sexual trauma. It helps that I am married to a Scorpio ;)
