Releasing the Wild-Woman Within

Releasing the Wild-Woman WithinBy tapping into your wild self you can relax and let your sexuality free.
In most cultures over the ages the patriarchy have repressed women to the extent that we are no longer in touch with our deepest primordial selves. Our instinctual natures, the seat of our souls has been under siege and it's high time we work on getting back in touch with the wild woman within. I am not implying that we must toss the baby carriage. Not at all, but we must dig down and ignite that soul-fire, be true to our inner natures so that we can be well balanced individuals connected with the earth, the higher powers and with each other. There is a big difference between being subservient and being true to our nurturing natures. Subservience comes from social pressure and fear. Nurturing comes from the heart with love. Many European and Oriental myths surrounding the essence of the wild woman show that the repression and rejection of the creative life force, the wild woman essence can twist and turn that force into a destructive and crazy energy. The vital, wild life energy is suppressed and broken down by the civilizing of children at an early age. This transaction of repressing the spontaneous actions is the beginning of the end of our wild intuitiveness. Yes, we do need to behave, control some of our urges if we are to live together in a society without harming others or ourselves. But with that, we must learn to allow ourselves to maintain our connections with the elements and our basic life fires. A good friend of mine always said "Don't should on yourself". Does it come from the heart or from obligation and what society expects from you? We could avoid many illnesses and bad relationships if we just act and "behave" true to our inner natures or heart's desires. It may take years of affirming and reprogramming our conscious mind to let our passions flow out. The first step you can take when you feel a need to do something creative, or something for yourself is to "just do it". Catch yourself when you constantly put the paperwork or the laundry ahead of your soul time. Affirm that it is important to feed your wild self and it is a must to nurture yourself as well as your loved ones. Remember that an empty vessel cannot pour. The next time you see the children running through the park and think, oh to be young again, get up out of your seat and run with them. One day I was running and twirling with my daughter and her friends at the park where I noticed a mom waiting for her kids in her car. Her daughter stopped and watched us for a couple minutes and then went to her car and pulled her mommy out. She followed her daughter to the swings; the two of them played, laughed and had a good time. I caught the other mom's eye and we shared a moment of pure wild child bliss. Your sexual soul urge is deeply connected to your instinctual nature. By tapping into your wild self you can relax and let your sexuality free. Feed your sex. Dream, fantasize, and create your own animal. Most of all have fun and experiment and get to the root of your being. Let it out! Make sure you have some quiet reflection time to listen to yourself and tune into your needs. Then make them a reality. No one is going to do it for you!
