Are you Divine-alicious ?

Divine-alicious – my new favorite word. A question was posed asking what it means to be Divine-alicious. While there are a as many answers to that question as there are spiritual beings in the world, the context of the word was being used in a discussion about Sacred Female Empowerment and becoming a Divine Goddess.

A Divine-alicious person is someone who dares to be herself on her own unique path with a commitment to her own authentic truth and empowerment. The true definition of a divine-alicious woman is constantly evolving and shifting within each as she grows and expands to life her Divine path.

How do you become a Divine-alicious Empowered woman?

Learning to know your authentic self is the first step. The idea’s and expressions of society have repressed and set out limitations. A Divine-alicious empowered woman explores who she is not only within her spiritual path, but who she is emotionally, physically, and sensually. The belief patterns and issues that affect the soul both consciously and unconsciously are explored and she discards anything that is no longer serving to empower.

There are various ways that we do this from life shifting techniques to belly dancing and everything in between. There are deep rooted patterns that have evolved not only in this life time but for generations that take concerted effort to release and new ones to be reborn.

Exploring the physical world as well as the spiritual world to actively seek out the divine-alicious gifts that are before us every moment is the next step. In becoming intimately with yourself in step one, we then can explore the intimacy of the journey in the world. This step is learning about the global world and its inter-relatedness to each imprint and energy signature. This step is about using the dynamic animate energy to embody the Divine within rather than being in separate duality within.

Having become intimate with self, the journey embarking upon and with the global world, the next step is to come to embrace and love self, the journey and the world. Comfort zones place limits upon the journey. By embrace and loving all within, including the fears associated with stepping outside the comfort zone, we embrace all energetic signatures eliminating the “light” and “dark”, the “good” and the “bad” to become in fully unity. To become fully empowered by everything transparently and authentically is true Divine-alicious empowerment.

This awareness into new horizons allows one to embrace down to a cellular level that we are all Divine-alicious. This shift is truly life altering. Life begins to be experienced and not endured. Love becomes who you are rather than something that you do.

The next step is the truly liberating step. It released everything that is not of the Divine embrace. The Divine fire within is ignited and becomes ablaze. The balancing out of the energies within turns to passionate loving that leaves you in a state of orgasmic bliss. It is not a cloud nine feeling, it is beyond the descriptions of words except to say it is stepping into the Goddess that you are.

It means that you suddenly become your authentic self, free to express the passionate fires that empower each of us from the inner springs that flow within us.

Dare to yourself. Dare to be empowered. Dare to be the Goddess You are. Dare to become Divine-alicious.

The Energies of Snake Medicine

Recently, I have had experiences that I have loved and at the same time afraid of. There are experiences both in dreamtime and in the physical world that literally can "shake" a person to their core. I was having a conversation with a Shaman elder recently explaining the experiences and asked for understanding.

It was shared with me that this is the medicine of the snake. It was described to me as an allowance and permission (even perhaps a remembering) to "shake off" the confines of limitations and walls that I have carried within myself and forth in my life. This rawness can leave you literally feeling as though your entire being has been "shaken".

This energy or medicine of the snake has been prevalent for some time as reflected in my blogs. But what is the wisdom and message of snake medicine? I have received comments back from it being a healing medicine to a vile, evil death medicine. As I asked a guide and teacher of mine Chu Kaya what the deal was, here is what was shared with me.

Snake medicine can mean many things. It is how the medicine is used as to what it means. It can be a transmutation and transformation of a being or a cycle of the being. It can be an initiation into another level of understanding and wisdom. It can be a venomous bite that can kill you if you do not become still and listen.

A snake, regardless of the type of snake, has the ability to shed its skin and transform itself or renew itself. As it goes through this process of renewal the eyes of the snake become clouded unable to see clearly. When the skin is shed, the eyes become anew as well with clear sight. This is the initiation of wisdom and knowledge. There are times when one must penetrate the illusive Veils of Illusion into the other realms, as this penetration occurs, the vision or our perceptions of vision become clouded. We stand at a gateway where our bodies and sight (our perceptions) are cleared and torn away. The process may be painful but we emerge anew.
While a bite of a venomous snake can kill you, small doses of the same venom are used for healing. It is much like truth can sting when perceived to be hurtful. Said in a different tone or using different words the same truth can be healing and enlightening.

Remember that a snake has the ability to go deep into the Mother Earth on the physical level. The wisdom that snake medicine can provide can be the same. This means that it may be necessary when working with snake medicine to delve deep within you in order to discover the true aspects of the knowledge and wisdom being shared.

Knowing the habits of the snake also provides insights. The vibrations of the belly or your solar plexus will always be a part of the wisdom being shared. A snake travels on its belly reminding you that the vibrational energy from your gut is vital. Another habit is the way a snake eats. A snake will devour its prey head first and swallow the whole of the prey. This can reflect the idea that you can absorb vast amount of knowledge and hold it within even if it seems irrelevant at the moment. Do no discard it.

As it travels the landscape it always remains in control as its winds itself around the Earth. This reminds you of taking the path of least resistance while remaining in control of your surroundings. While always keenly aware of all that is there as it is very much a warrior with the ability to strike with speed in order to protect itself.

The snake medicine also is the sensual and sexual lessons of the snake medicine. This is truly related to creation of life. If you have ever sat and watched a snake move, it is entrancing and completely spellbinding. It almost caresses the Earth as it slithers and slides seeming without effort. It teaches the intimacy of life. This intimacy is not of not only a sexual nature, but the intimacy with everything in life.

Chu Kaya also pointed out that there are different snakes that share in different ways. It is important to learn the type of snake that is appearing, not only that it is a snake.
The snake medicine teaches above all that you are universal. All aspects of life need be accepted and renewed. The snake medicine is creation, passion, power, and wisdom.

“Feel Snake's rhythm and you will dance freely; use the transforming forces of the universe as a part of your sensual dance of power.”
