Divine Feminine ceremony

---

There was a time in my life when I had difficulty orienting myself. I had no identity and no self-worth. My life was meaningless and broken. Everything I stood for no longer made sense. I thought I was an independent, strong woman capable of anything I set my mind to. I wasn’t wrong. However, I found out that if I wanted to continue down this path, I would have to exert my energy to the fullest, always driving in hyperdrive, never truly allowing myself to feel or slow down. I had somehow become a hyper-independent woman who needed no one and nothing.

I became tired and lonely. I was constantly fighting the demons of my past—demons that weren’t mine but were passed down from family, as well as demons from predators and society. I found myself being drained of my light. I was being depleted spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and so on.

During a ceremony, I discovered the chains that had been on me since I was a baby. I thought I couldn’t escape them or release them. I then discovered that the chains weren’t mine or real. It was time to let go of what no longer served me, to release what wasn’t mine to begin with. I found my light. I found my wings, and from that day forward, I promise myself to always nurture my light me.
