Inner Journey in Steps

Compassion, contemplation, Empowerment, Goddess, Nature

When you think of inner work or the journey inward, what does that mean to you? How do you develop yourself, your thinking, your actions? What was your first memory of going within and listening to your soul? What are the emotions and experiences that have influenced you to bring you to doing the inner work that’s required for going deep to connect with the Divine. What are your beliefs about being a spiritual person? How does that affect how and what you do, think, say and how you take action?

Lately I’ve been thinking about this deeply. There are so many things calling for our attention: personally, professionally, spiritually as well as the community, world and social media events that vie for our attention. A good friend of mine calls this “craziness”, it’s the overwhelm and intensity of all that is happening in daily life. This includes the tragedies, climate change, environmental devastation, over population, the nightly news, personal sorrows, health issues, and all the social media….oh my Goddess, it takes a toll!

So how do we bear the the enormity of our current world situation? How do we create the peace we seek even when it includes challenging situations, conflicts and the nitty gritty of daily living?

Personally I think that silence, breathing and nature give us answers and nourishment that the world doesn’t always honor. Taking the time, honoring the questions and allowing the conflict, the grief, the overwhelm to just be, without trying to change it.

Step 1 Silence

In a world that is so noisy, silence offers profound space for inner space. I call this my womb or cocoon time. For me, it’s a chance to go with in and be held by the Great Mother, in her dark, safe, nourishing womb. I also call this my cocoon time, where I am separated from the outside world, and my imaginal cells are creating a new, stronger, more beautiful me (butterfly), capable of flying and seeing the world with a different perspective.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls. — Mother Teresa

Step 2 Nature

We are part of nature, human organisms who function with polarities, needing light and dark, awake time and dream time, breathing in and breathing out, always seeking balance. I also know that spending time in nature: a walk along the river, hiking the mountain, listening to a birdsong or watching the snow fall are all ways to step out of the intensity of our daily life. I love finding the Divine in the daily, and most often that is in nature. Nature, the great healer!

Step 3 Breathing Deep

There is something so profound about paying attention to your breath. Of course all meditation starts with paying attention to your breath. What if your life were a continual meditation? What if you could come back to your breath and remember the power of deep breathing. You can live with out water for a days, with out food for even longer, but you can only live a few minutes with out breathing. Honor that space, open up to exploring the gifts of deep breathing. This is from Wikipedia:

Pneuma (πνεῦμα) is an ancient Greek word for “breath“, and in a religious context for “spirit” or “soul“.^[1]^[2] It has various technical meanings for medical writers and philosophers of classical antiquity, particularly in regard to physiology, and is also used in Greek translations of the Hebrew Bible and in the Greek New Testament. In classical philosophy, it is distinguishable from psyche (ψυχή), which originally meant “breath of life”, but is regularly translated as “spirit” or most often “soul“.^[3]

See, breath is life, spirit and soul!!

I fear our modern world does not honor our need for stillness in the midst of non stop busyness. Can we learn to be still enough to embrace the inner self and all it contains? The inner self is calling for balance. Can we practice a wholeness that allows for silence, nature and breath? My hope is yes.

Shifting Paradigms

Compassion, Culture, Empowerment, Goddess, Women

shutterstock_181963079 Yes, there are many things happening in the world, climate change, the #me too movement, political crisis, economic challenges, it can all be overwhelming. I know for me when I look out at the cultural landscape, it feels chaotic, huge and tumultuous. A quick looks at the headlines, news hour, social media, podcast or radio show will give you plenty of content for feeling completely overcome with the immensity of problems and difficulties of living in our world today.

So, what is one to do? Well, for me, I don’t watch the news (I don’t own a TV), I limit my exposure to the internet and social media, I don’t read the newspaper… )Believe me if it matters someone will let me know). I also make a point of connecting with nature everyday, Mother Nature is so nurturing, to my body and my soul. I also recognize and maintain that connection with Spirit, connecting with conscious people and giving myself time to be the person I want to be in the world (mini retreats, healthy food and meditation time).

Why do I do this? Because I think each of us is an agent of change in this world of chaos. I am trying to build the world I want by focusing on the things I want: recognizing the divinity of each person, supporting social and economic justice, living a sustainable lifestyle, driving less and turning down my thermostat because even if it doesn’t “change the world”, I’m tying to do my little part.

“Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.”
Maya Angelou

I do think this generation, you and me are called to create new structures that will create a more just world. One of the reasons I love the work I do with Goddess Ink is that we are trying to create a new paradigm. One that acknowledges women in spiritual leadership, honoring the divine feminine, and women as change agents for a better world. A paradigm that recognizes there is power and movement in the soul of today’s women.

I really don’t have any big ambitions (well, maybe to eradicate patriarchy….). But I have many small ambitions, that I work on daily. For example, I want a world of peace, an economically and socially just system, that recognizes our actions to seven generations, not just the next financial quarter report. I want women to step into leadership and power positions and lead us to a new way of thinking…….one that sees the Divine in each person. I want women to see their own Divinity. I want a social construct that honors the feminine, collaborative thinking, and women in spiritual leadership. Wow, what a concept! Personally, I think that’s what “feminism”, the #Me Too Movement, the Women’s March and the recognition of the Divine Feminine is all about.

I hope you’ll join me on this paradigm shifting journey. Please come visit us at Goddess Ink.

In Thanksgiving for You!

Classes, Compassion, Goddess, Gratefulness, Thanksgiving

Thank you!

It’s the time of the year to remember all the people in our lives and all the blessings of the past year. It’s also time to remember why we have this day as a national holiday at all, that is, the Native Americans were kind and compassionate enough to keep all pilgrims from starving. In case you didn’t know, November is National Native American Heritage Month. Something that many of us don’t know, but perhaps something we should remember!

For us here at Goddess Ink, it’s also a time to remember and thank our partners, our collaborators, our contributors, our customers, our supporters, our connections and of course you, for being part of this movement to share and offer a new way of thinking that includes honoring the feminine and recognizing the Divine Feminine as part of the new cultural norm.

We offer books, online classes and sacred tours to expand the awareness and focus the importance of recognizing the Goddess, the Female Face of the Divine. We want to honor and promote goddess studies and topics related to feminine spirituality. Thank you to all of you who support this work.

We wish you the blessings of love, light and joy in these days of autumn and deepening darkness. May Goddess fill you with wisdom, grace and courage to be you, the grand and amazing gift you are to the world.

Bright Blessings for a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!

Introducing Kwan Yin by Genevieve Mitchell

bodhisattva, Classes, Compassion, Goddess, Kwan Yin

Kwan Yin Reclining From Sandy Boucher Collection, photo by Genevieve Mitchell

Getting introduced and getting to know a new Goddess always feels like a big deal to me. It’s easy to see everything, nature, birth and life as grace filled. It’s a little more daunting to get to know a Goddess, her names, her ways, her gifts and her nuances, it’s kind of like learning about a friend and becoming best friends. That’s how it’s been for me with Kwan Yin. Slowly, over time, over chants, reading, learning, and sitting with Her, oh my Goddess, what a gift.

I don’t really remember when I first was introduced to Kwan Yin as a Goddess. But my first introduction to her power, her message and her compassion was when I read Sandy Boucher’s She Appears: Encounters with Kwan Yin. It’s a magical book, full of powerful stories and beautiful art work that inspires and nourishes the soul. It also introduced me to an amazing Goddess, one who is full of compassion and grace, willing to be Source and sourced as comfort, hope and caring, especially during times we find it hard to care for ourselves.

There are some great resources on Kwan Yin. Here is a wonderful class on Kwan Yin by Kimberly Moore and Sandy Boucher . Deva Premal’s Om Mani Padme Hum chant is lovely! There are a variety of stories and myths about how Kwan Yin came to be the Goddess of Compassion. Find some of them here at Wikipedia.org. Goddess Ink hosts a lovely Pinterest link with images of the beautiful Kwan Yin!

May you find the compassion you need in the wonderful connection with the beautiful Goddess of Compassion: Kwan Yin.

Many Blessings,

What the Goddess Brigit Means for Women and Men Today by Mael Brigde

Brigit, Compassion, Divine, Goddess, Priestess, ritual

Why has the Goddess Brigit become so popular, and with so many different kinds of people?

Apart from a lull in her popularity in the last century*, Brigit has always been beloved, especially among the Irish and Scots—and where they have migrated churches bearing the name “Saint Brigit’s” or “Saint Bride’s” have popped up with great regularity. So many Irish girls were baptized with her name that its diminutive—Biddy—came to apply to Irish women generally (not in the most flattering way, at all times, but that’s another story), just as their men became known as Paddies, after Saint Patrick.

Brigit’s fortune seems ever on the rise. Her appeal has spilled out beyond the pews and holy wells. Irish social justice and peace activists have adopted her**, feminists, Celtic revivalists, and environmental activists look to her for inspiration, scholars are penning tomes and journal articles about her, Orthodox iconographers are painting her, Wiccan priestesses are making room for her on their altars and in their rituals, and Celtic Reconstructionist NeoPagans are exploring her literature and myth and offering their insights to the world. Indeed, interfaith orders like the Daughters of the Flame are dedicated solely to devotion to Brigit.

Why???

The diversity of Brigit’s traditions and lore are part of the explanation. In the fleeting mentions of the goddess, wisdom, poetry, healing, smithcraft, motherhood, grief, lamentation and other vocal expressions are touched on. These alone encompass vast portions of life, and their symbolism may be applied to much more again. The stories of the saint range from those of female independence to miraculous abundance, peacemaking, and generosity—and so on and on. Coming from a background of bondage, as reported in her later Lives, her understanding of and tolerance for oppression speak to those who themselves have experienced or witnessed oppression.

Brigit has both antiquity and modern cultus on her side. Goddess and saint, fire and water, bird and fish, wild and cultivated life are all a part of her tapestry. She frees captives and listens to the mad and the lost. If once her flame was kept only by women, today it is tended by men as well; the LGBTQ communities find sympathy with her in her gender-challenging life choices and her friendship with a nun named Darlughdacha; Catholics cherish her commitment to the protection and guidance of her people; pro-choice activists point to the story of St Brigit causing a foetus to disappear *** as for support for their stance.

Brigit is not all things to all people—she is distinctly and utterly herself (her selves?)—but she offers immense scope to those who seek her out.

To learn more about Brigit, please explore Mael Brigde’s Courses on Mystery School of the Goddes

* A recent article in Irish Central reminds us of this, saying, “St. Brigid is the female equivalent of St. Patrick in Ireland, but there are no parades in her honor, and apart from the St. Brigid’s Cross, her name is hardly known…Growing up in Ireland we were all told about St.Brigid’s cross made of rushes which became in many ways a national symbol, used by RTÉ, the national broadcasting company, for one. But we learned little about Brigid herself.” From “Why Irish women should follow St. Brigid, not just St. Patrick”, Niall O’Dowd.

** From the website of Action From Ireland (AFRI): “Féile Bride happens annually in Kildare around the start of Spring in February. The first Féile Bríde was organized in 1993. It is a time for celebration and reflection in spirit of Brigid’s message of justice, peace and hope which remains as vibrant and as relevant today as it was more than a thousand years ago.” http://www.afri.ie/key-events/

*** Cogitosus wrote, “Brigid, exercising the most potent strength of her ineffable faith, blessed her, causing the foetus to disappear, without coming to birth, and without pain”. Another might point to the next line, “She faithfully returned the woman to health and to penance” as less than complete support for the issue.

Good News and Learning in the New Year

Classes, Compassion, Creativity, Divine, Empowerment, Goddess, Learning, Priestess, ritual

shutterstock_44937577 “Everyone has inside of her a piece of good news. The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be, how much you can love, what you can accomplish, and what your potential is.” — Anne Frank

The good news is that we all have the potential to do wonderful things in our life. But if you are like me, you don’t always have the current capacity the know how or the tools to move to the next level. A couple of years ago I put myself on a financial literacy self learning program. I wanted to be able to communicate and understand my finances in a way that I did not have in my younger years. It was not easy. I bought books, signed up for courses, got email newsletters, even put together a presentation to a group, so I could feel comfortable discussing finances. Do have have the kind of expertise that an accountant, banker or financial planner has? No I do not. But I can sit in a discussion with them, and hold my own. I consider that a success.

Now, my focus is to bring myself into a level of ease and competence in the area of spirituality and spiritual leadership. I know I need the support of circles of women (which I fortunately have). I know I need my own daily spiritual practice, which I do. But I also need to to continue my learning, about spirituality, about spiritual leadership, about priestessing, about how to manifest the Divine in my life, in ritual and in my work. One way for me is to find on-line classes that guide me. One of my favorite resources is Kimberly Moore‘s http://themotherhouseofthegoddess.com/motherhouse-mystery-school-online-courses/. I have taken a number of courses, and am always pleased with the results! Molly Remer,from http://www.brigidsgrove.com/ has a wonderful course called the Goddess Magic Circle, that I highly recommend. Goddess Ink is offering some wonderful classes on Spiritual Leadership, including the Free Introduction to Priesting Course. If you are ready to Take the Plunge into Priestessing , this is an excellent course to develop your priestessing skills. If you are a Brigit devotee, Weaving the Protection of Bridgit by Jude Lally might be just what you need, or if you want to read and learn, check out our Brigit Anthology, Brigit Sun of Womanhood. For those of you with a yearning for more compassion in your life, Sandy Boucher and Kim Moore’s class on Kwan Yin could be just what you need.

On a personal note, I have my learning year mapped out. I have some personal growth courses, Kimberly Moore’s A Year of Sacred Living, some business courses and two photography courses….my learning year is full. I hope you will join me in learning and expanding your world!

Blessings,

Genevieve

Thank You, I Have No Complaint Whatsoever

Compassion, Divine, Goddess, Gratefulness, Priestess, Thanksgiving

shutterstock_518846149 “If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” – Meister Eckhart

Thanksgiving is upon us, as a holiday yes, and in my mind, as an opportunity to remember and acknowledge all the ways I am blessed.

My own personal world has been stunned and shaken by the turn of events in the US political scene, the ongoing concern about how we (collectively) treat our dear Mother Earth, and my own life and how it is evolving. I keep wondering, how can I best respond to these circumstances? Gratitude, thankfulness, appreciation for what I DO have, that just keeps coming up.

There is a story by Alan Cohen about a woman Zen Master named Sono who taught one very simple method of enlightenment. She advised everyone who came to her to adopt an affirmation to be said many times a day, under all conditions. The affirmation was, “Thank you for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever.”

Many people from all arenas of life came to Sono for healing. Some were in physical pain; others were emotionally distraught; others had financial troubles; some were seeking soul liberation. No matter what their distress or what question they asked her, her response was the same: “Thank you for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever.”

Some people went away disappointed; others grew angry; others tried to argue with her. Yet some people took her suggestion to heart and began to practice it. Tradition tells that everyone who practiced Sono’s mantra found peace and healing.

Thank you for everything. I have no complaint whatsoever. http://bit.ly/2galzdJ

I know that we all have the capacity to go to gratitude, but it is so easy to go to the place of drama, trauma, judgment, and complaints. But I know we are so much more than all of the complaints. Thanksgiving is an opportunity to practice having “no complaint whatsoever”. This idea of “Thank you for everything”, is such a powerful concept. How wonderful it could be if we could just be a vessel of appreciation and gratitude and share that with those we encounter, even when others are complaining. Yes, I know there is much to complain about, but those things require action, not complaints. So, right now, that’s how I am choosing to respond, to be a channel of gratitude.

My prayer for this Thanksgiving is “Thank you for everything, I have no complaint”.

Many blessings and a deep bow for this Thanksgiving week.

What Now? Reflections on Moving Forward by Sidni Lamb and Genevieve Mitchell

Compassion, contemplation, Divine, Empowerment, Goddess, Learning, Loss and Grief, ritual

“All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.” –Julian of Norwich

In the bigger spiritual picture, “all shall be well” and we are indeed, okay. The Divine, however we define It, Her or Him, is SO much bigger than us, our community, our nation or our earth. The Divine is unknowable to us…., knowing that, yes, we are okay.

So, why don’t we feel okay? Many of us have feelings of pain, distress, heartache, sadness, fear and shock about recent political events in the nation. There’s grief and a sense of loss that makes us feel wounded and anguished, for our nation and for ourselves. Both during and as a result of the election, it has become painfully obvious that many of us have not felt heard or acknowledged. So, how do we move on in this very challenging climate?

What now?

Deepen Your Spiritual Practice– Take time to find the core of your spiritual practice. It could be meditation, ritual, praying, chanting, sitting in circle, celebrating in community. Find and attend to something that connects you to the Divine, to your sacred center.
Be In Nature– The Japanese call it forest bathing. Connect with the natural world, a tree, a park, go to the mountains, watch a rainstorm, be with the larger, deeper force of nature, the spirit of our holy Mother Earth.
- “You should sit in nature 20 minutes a day, unless you are too busy, then you should sit for an hour”– Old Zen Saying
Connect to Kindness– Offer or exchange a smile, offer a small act of kindness, ask or give a hug, call a friend. This is our opportunity to be of service to a world in need of kindness and compassion.
Feel Your Emotions– Be aware of what you are feeling, allow those feelings, honor them, exactly as they show up. In the same way, allow others to be where they are with their feelings, even if you don’t agree with them. Everyone processes in a different way.
Practice Good Self Care– It is time to take very good care of yourself. Eat well, get plenty of rest, care for your physical and emotional needs. When we have filled ourselves, when we are compassionate and caring of ourselves, we can respond more compassionately to others.
Take a News or Social Media Retreat– Turn off the news, turn off the radio, take a vacation from Facebook. Allow time for silence. Give time to others face to face, instead of digitally. Allow yourself rest from the outside media influences, allow yourself time to heal.
Find Something To Do Right Now– For some, it will be to write letters, sign petitions, participate in protests. For others, sitting still, helps us with our creative juices and finding direction for the “what now”.

Taking a purposeful pause to deepen our practice, take care of ourselves and to be kind allows us to get grounded for the hard work ahead.

The Daily Acts of Priestessing

Compassion, Empowerment, Priestess, ritual

The swirl of a cape, the waft of incense, the amber necklace and serpent ring — these are all part of my experience priestessing rituals. In these ritual, I have time to prepare myself to step into the role of priestess, to take up the sacred mantle.

One our recent trip to Mexico of my fellow priestesses reminded me of the daily acts of priestessing. Driving in heavy traffic we passed a car wreck, and she spoke words of ease. I remember thinking that the last thing on my mind were the people involved in the wreck–I was worried about traffic and reaching our destination.

The moments that call for the touch and words of a priestess happen irregardless of my dress and preparation. They happen organically, urging me to swim in the current of life, open to what may happen, rather than my usual habit of driving forward irregardless of what is going on around me. I remember again the words of Jalaja Bonheim:

One of the main ways we (as priestesses) serve our communities is through our daily work….the cashier will sense (that) the thousand daily interactions she has with her customers matter, and have meaning. *

As this morning unfolds, I open to the opportunity of daily acts of priestessing.

Blessings –

Anne

*from “The Path of Priestess and Priest: Initiation into an Ancient Tradition” by Jalaja Bonheim from Stepping into Ourselves: An Anthology of Writings on Priestesses.

The power of Story

Compassion, Divine, Empowerment, Priestess, Story

shutterstock_250511077 “We don’t see things as they are; we see them as we are.”– Anais Nin

I’ve spent some time this week thinking about my story, the story I tell myself, and how it is a lens by which I view my world. I’ve been thinking a great deal about the word “God”, and what that story means in my life. I’m recalling that Mary Daly, in her writings likened the word God to the word “Man”, by which we then equate man (male) with God…. We also have the story of the of the distant (male) Patriarch, (in my little girl belief was a old white man with a beard), who is all knowing and all powerful who lived way far away, in heaven (not close to us, on Earth). Males who promulgated such thinking, using their sacred texts to give credence and credibility to their story, disregarded, devalued and allowed the abuse of women using this religious authority.

But what if we extend this story to Mother Earth? Mother Earth as female, available for use and abuse by those in authority, isn’t that what we are doing now? Is not that what our consumer driven, environmentally unsustainable economy is doing?

What if we changed the story to honor the feminine, the female, the generative elements of the Earth and “all our relations” (not just human)? Perhaps it’s time for a new story, to incorporate Mother Earth, Woman and Goddess into the new conversations about how we view and act in the world. What do you think?

What is your story?

Bright Blessings,

Genevieve
