Reflections on the resurgence of «underworld»
Between April and June of this year I published several texts in a row, explaining in detail my decisions related to the transformation and decrease of cyclical women, and announcing the latest edition of our four online courses.
It was nine powerful and intense weeks, closing a cycle and a vital stage at many levels. And in which I felt very wrapped through all your answers and encouragement.
At the moment I will return to a spontaneous rhythm of publications, as this last year was emerging, from that new and light place that I am anchoring and integrating into me.
Although I am in front of the computer, I like to close my eyes and re -connect with the healing experience of sleeping the naked nap every afternoon, close to the earth, during the first days of August. I realized that something deep had changed in my cells, that my nervous system was not on alert, as I have lived so many years.
We were in a naturist campsite with Gemma and the experience of being without clothes for a week has connected me intimately with the deep experience of the climacteric «undress» and strip me of many known roles and patterns, in this radical pruning in recent years.
It excites me, after having touched the dark and fertile background of the underworld, perceive now in my skin and in my cells the energy of the ascent …
The synchronies of life continue to be amazed, because just in July a beautiful online encounter with Paula Vives, another passionate of the Inanna myth (related to the Venus cycle) emerged, to talk together about what it means «to rise from the deep feminine.»
As I have explained in the last two years, the history of the descent and the rise of Inanna of the submundo is accompanying me so crystalline, making mirror and map at each stage of the passage rite of my menopause.
In addition, the fact of sharing this process in the face -to -face retreats and online sessions that I have created for women traveling menopause like me, is allowing me to understand and integrate aspects of the myth in a completely new way.
There are three ideas or keys that I would like to name here, with the desire that they can also resonate with your own experiences of «reborn», when you are within a change of stage or deep metamorphosis, at any stage of life.
When we ascend, we are a tender and vulnerable outbreak
When Inanna resurrects and begins her way of uploading, then «two demons of the submundo are clinging to his side.» This part of the myth helps me remember that from that naked state, in which I have touched a very pure and true place within me, it is present -on the one hand -, all the strength and potential of the new outbreak, and at the same time, requires special care and protection.
When we ascend, we continue to release and ‘sacrificing’ what is not at the service of the new
The myth also tells us that underworld judges dictate that «if Inanna wishes to return from the underworld, she must leave someone her place.» Now, with my own experience of starting the promotion in recent months, I can understand that, on the way to open ourselves to a new stage, we continue to be able to and release what is not in coherence with the authenticity we have touched in the submundo.
When we ascend, it is a slow and spiral process
In this sense, sometimes it gives the feeling that we are «going back», such as when you leave the center of the labyrinth and transit those closed curves of the return. I am clearer than ever that ascent is a path that requires a lot of patience and slowness, although we feel the internal or external rush of getting out of the underworld. We continue incubating the new … you continue to brew and give birth to that woman who is reborn to that new awareness of «who you are» now.
It was an enormous gift to share the treasures of this myth with a group of 16 women at the end of August, and realize that in the case of menopause, it is precisely a passage rite that lasts many years (thirteen?, Fifteen?, Twenty?… !!). What relief will allow us to ascend from the deep feminine, honoring our rhythm and times.
From this renewed energy of September, at the beginning of the course, I am excited to share with you what I will be offering in the coming months, in person and online live, in this new stage within a . You can see the proposals on the agenda.
I also share a video that I recorded on July 31, just on the last day of Marta’s contract that completed a beautiful 3 and a half year cycle working full time for the project. I am still integrating the change of being “alone” in the daily management of cyclical women. And as I explain in the video, I really feel lightened and very happy to have managed to release the step that I loaded and simplify.
I wish that everything you have been pruning in recent times is giving way to new outbreaks, which you can take care of and protect with much love.
