Being with Feminine Longing + Revelations on Plant Medicine

Episode 318: Through the endless striving for a balanced and healthy physical and spiritual life, the greatest challenge for women to identify, embrace, and work with their feminine yearning to be filled, recognizing the divine calling of that yearning, while acknowledging and honoring the more prosaic day-to-day "neediness" without belittling ourselves for it. Everything exists on a spectrum, and physical or lower-vibration anxious feminine longing is simply a different part of a continuum that includes and is encompassed by divine, archetypal feminine longing. In this episode Madelyn details a recent intense plant medicine experience that brought her in touch with the full spectrum of that yearning, its resolution, and recovery in its aftermath.

Show Notes:

• Feminine longing is the deepest state that the feminine knows - the state of wanting.
• There is a difference between the actions of flow (practical, logistical flexibility) and the embodiment of flow (true psychic acuity).
• Book: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, MD - https://amzn.to/2FCb98Q
• Tuning into the nervous systems of those around you can help open you to the impact you have on others.
• "It's not your coach's job to please you; it's their job to serve you."
• This means that sometimes their job may be to convey something to you that doesn't "land" or resonate.
• Madelyn had a threshold plant medicine experience recently that brought her further into her feminine than she's ever been.
• The experience moved through feral, animal, even feminine with a visit from the Magdalena archetype.
• There was an intense comedown the next day - she felt she had not properly prepared her body.
• Even the female body is the physical embodiment of a drive to be filled.
• Feminine longing can sometimes be dark, because you miss people, connection, comfort.
• Filling your yearning is your responsibility, your dharma.
• Madelyn recently led a practice to work with this longing.
• The intent is not to circumvent the longing, but move through it and into a divine sphere with it - divine longing.
