Honouring Our Self Through Daily Soul Practice by Kim Bleeze There is something deeply sacred about committing time and space each day to nourish ourselves, and to take the time out to give back to our body, our mind and our soul. This deep honouring is a soul practice and can be crucial in keeping our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual cups full. Life can be depleting, so in order to retain healthy balance, we need to nurture and give ourselves the time we deser ve as an act of self-love. Then, of course, there are other benefits to keeping a daily soul practice such as enhancing our intuition and trust with our self and the universe. The more we do all of that, the closer we step towards personal authenticit y and showing up for ourselves in a way that we deser ve. When we are disallowing the opportunit y for that to happen, we are in fact not allowing room for our soul to integrate more into our physical life. So instead of immersing ourselves more into the power of our greater and higher-self and soul, we keep ourselves almost separate instead. This shows up in our life without our even realizing it. Of ten it manifests as a lack of flow in your life. To name just a few, you’ll recognise it as feelings of being unhappy, in a state of lack or a general negative mindset. Essentially all of those times when you feel life isn’t working out for you, which I’m sure most of us have experienced in our life in shape or form.

Well, if you are experiencing any of the above or similar, it may mean that you out of sync with the natural flow of life. And keeping a daily soul practice is a great way to reinstate it, as well as to help release any stagnate energ y and/or emotions you’ve been holding onto. Life is so crazy at times, right? We can of ten have the potential to experience feelings of being over whelmed, with fear, anxiet y and a tonne of other lower vibrational emotions and states. That can have a crippling ef fect on our mindset. A daily soul practice is the perfect way to balance ourselves. So knowing this, it is our individual responsibilit y to counteract the crap life throws at us by retaining a strong sense of self-awareness and grounded connection to ourselves, as well as a deeper connection to our soul.
Discovering your best practices There are so many things you could probably choose to incorporate into your soul practice. Meditation, yoga, walking, reading, dancing, singing, drumming… the list could be endless. Choose activities that really make your heart feel good and your energ y light up. THAT is the key to nurturing yourself through soul practice. Just do things you love and that make you feel good for at least 30 minutes a day. Simple right? And it doesn’t have to be the same soul practice ever y day. Of ten what we need to feel nourished can change as much as our moods do. So be flexible and check in with yourself daily to see how you can best give to yourself. Because it is about choosing something that is in alignment with your energ y each and ever y day by asking yourself the following questions:
“How do I feel? ” “ What do I need? ” “ What will nourish me and my soul today? ” “ What do I need to feel fulfilled? ” Your heart, your mind, and your soul will thank you for it.

This can get you started
1
Make a list! Get creative and write a list all the things you like and love to do, that make you feel amazing and emotionally full. This will be your go-to list!

4
Make the time! Create space in your calendar for your daily soul practice. I would suggest a minimum of 30 minutes a day, and it is okay to be flexible.
3
Make it work! What needs to happen in order to keep on track with your daily soul practice? Do some things in your life need to change to free up time?
Make a start! Your soul practice doesn’t have to look perfect, so stop waiting for it to be. The best practice for any routine you are tr ying to establish… is to JUST DO IT.
Happy soul practice! Fierce Truths Magazine

Introduction Into
Sensual
Divine Feminine Embodiment
by Deva Wild
I wish to take you on a journey, one of self awareness and curiosity. One that invites you deep inside your body for reflection, one that may even activate and awaken your senses. All you need is an open mind and heart. Allow me to plant a seed that over your life may blossom and bloom, as your sacred self rises. I wish to share a little about myself and a few profound tools I have gathered over the years.
Do you wish to walk with me? Keep Reading. My name is Deva Wild. I’m a passionate and fierce advocate for feminine empowerment. I take women on nourishing soul journeys of reclaiming their power and wild self. Through delving deep into past wounds, fears, blockages and pains that have been held within the body, I offer embodiment and somatic practices which invite old traumas to be transformed into power. Once we feel what we are holding within, we heal. One of the main forms of suffering within the feminine is disconnection from self, where the impact of life can create the absence of love, self love. A time has come where we stop outsourcing our power. In relationship, jobs, friends or family and we look within. Yes, that is where you find yourself. Go within and feel. If your feminine energy is suppressed, within your expression this can shut down your life force, your power and most of all your PLEASURE. You stop being turned on by the essence of life itself, as you cannot feel yourself. I would love to invite more devotion, aliveness and juicyness to begin flowing through you. Maybe through these words, as a sacred transmission. Activating your sensory body, can you invite your body to soften and surrender right now? Allowing time to dissolve as you rest back into your seat and melt into the erotic eros of life, for a few moments?
Notice if your body relaxes into this invitation or does it contract? Returning back into the feminine energy takes time and patience. Women over the years have been masculinised, directed more to logic and doing. The feminine is your feeling body, your emotions, the way in which you sway and move your hips and lick your juicy lips. How you lean back into life and be taken, receptive to the currents and flow. Reclaiming your feminine starts with coming back home to your body, becoming aware of your needs and desires, and acknowledging them with love. We are at a time on earth where playing small is no longer an option, suppressing your voices, your sensual energy and your hearts, which can no longer be tamed. It’s time to connect back to the cycles of life. Within the cyclical nature of winter, spring, summer and autumn, and within the moon cycles and your menstrual cycle. By honouring and celebrating these cycles, you awaken and remember who you are at your core essence. Oh, this invites shivers through my body and I hope it does yours. That knowing deep within you, a calling. It can feel scary when we walk this path. I say welcome it. If I could offer one golden gem to you today, I would say don’t hold your tongue, your sacred sound, your expression. Your throat needs to be opened, we need to hear your heart through your words and language. Your throat is linked directly to your pussy; yes, your pleasure, your sensuality, your spark of life. Yet this has been shamed and still is a taboo area to many. What I feel is missing from loving and owning all of a woman’s body is innocence and purity. How we have forgotten the art of a woman, the divinity and how juicy you can be when you are turned on by life. The curiosity
of exploring your own body, your curves, dimples and textures. Like a child, getting to know how this temple body works and what she likes and needs. Where has that gone? Yes, the mind can lead us away.
I call you back into your body. To place your hands on your sacred skin and breathe, nice and soft, allowing the breath to fall from your lips, over and over again. Maybe a little sound can join you on your exhale? Stay here for a while and let your body speak. This is how we begin the journey home back into the divine feminine, embodied and empowered. If you wish to be guided deeper or you feel curious, please connect and let us journey deeper Into you.

Meet
Deva Wild
Our gifted goddess by Kim Bleeze
We all have an inner light to shine. One that has the potential to create a positive impact on our little version of the world. Yet, we often may find ourselves shying away from that truthful part of ourselves. Choosing instead, to remain hidden and only dreaming about our dreams rather than daring to make them come true. Then there are those fierce women in the world who understanding their worth, their drive, their passion and see it as a non-negotiable. Taking a leap of faith with both feet first and going after what calls to their heart, instead of allowing their fear to be in the driver’s seat. It will be those women whose inner light shines naturally brighter and for no more a reason than choosing to know courage and own their fierce truth. They dare to follow their dreams and in doing so, become a beacon of hope and inspiration for others whom they touch along the way. These are our Gifted Goddesses. Women just like you and me who dared to follow their calling and leap with both feet, intuitively following their souls’ path and saying yes to where their intuition guides them. These women not only live with passion and purpose, they use it to create a massive impact too. I trust you will be as inspired by their stories as we are and for this month’s issue, let us introduce you to Deva Wild. Deva is an embodiment coach most known for her Sacred Dance Ceremonies, Mystery School teachings, Magik Moon Rituals, Kundalini Yoga Online community and private Mentoring. Here is what she had to say.

KIM: Who is Deva Wild? Tell me a little bit about who she is? Deva: Yes, thank you, thank you so much for actually asking this question. Because when I woke up this morning, and having the shift of my names recently and the evolution of it, I was like: “Oh I feel different in my skin, who are you?” Deva Wild is an energy that has come into my womb over the last few years that I have chosen to embody, to be able to radiate and transmit to women the power of reclaiming who you are in your core essence. I am a woman that offers permission and acceptance and deep, deep, love for all parts of you to exist. To come online. To come alive and to radiate to the world what you can be. To embody your fullness, your light and your dark. You have so many gifts for this earth for this world. So I, Deva Wild, is a woman that offers you full permission.
KIM: What lights you up about life? Deva: What lights me up? Do you know what? That’s a beautiful question because I speak a lot in my programs about making love to life. Like seeing everything, seeing the pleasure in everything. So for me, the biggest thing that lights me up is nature. The elements. Connecting to the earth. Connecting to the heavens. That all lights me up, and also community. A sense of tribe is massive for my call, for my liberation. I was speaking to my partner about this as well yesterday; that we’ve kind of lost the sense of community and tribe. We’ve lost the connection to community and drive and that’s where we grow the most. Where we see ourselves. So what lights me up is bringing people back into those connective spaces where we are being witnessed. Where we’re being seen, where we can feel ourselves, where we can see parts of ourselves, where we want to hide. And letting our tribe, like, bring us back to life: “Yes, let us love you in those places that you feel small. In those places that you try and hide”. And it’s only when we’re in those spaces with other people that we get to see them, because it’s safe when you’re on your own.
KIM: I really love that, especially as someone who is traditionally a hermit. It puts a beautiful language around being with tribe and amongst people. Deva: Yeah, there’s only so much that we can grow on our own. We can go and do
the inner work and we can see ourselves and it’s absolutely beautiful. We do need that. But we also need the balance of doing the work on your own, to go deep inside and be a hermit because it’s beautiful. You get to really switch off from the external and be with your temple body, and feel yourself, and get to know yourself, and build a beautiful relationship with yourself. And it’s incredible. I did it for years and years. I travelled the world, I lived on my own. Now I’m doing it in another sense with community, and seeing the parts of myself that I wouldn’t have seen on my own. Those that were in the shadows, that can only be highlighted when you’re living in community spaces.
KIM: What lights you up about yourself? Deva: I love the sensuality that oozes from my body. I love the way that I connect with myself. How I’m constantly touching and feeling myself. That lights me up. Also, the way in which I can feel other people. I love the fact that I can feel where people are and what emotions they’re going through. That I can read their energetic blueprint and just love people. One of my biggest gifts is the way that I love.
KIM: You teach women to embody themselves. What started this journey for you? Deva: Yes, well I lost myself. I fully abandoned myself and I was in a really traumatic relationship from the age of 14 to 24 and I just checked out. I disassociated from my body. I merged into being the same as my partner and I lost myself. When that relationship ended, I was like: “Who am? What do I like? What do I want to do? What career?”. I just felt like the world was a blank canvas, and that I could create it and paint a new life for myself. I got curious. I got really curious about life, about myself, and the possibilities through having such trauma from such a young age. It supported me in my growth.
KIM: What do you believe is important about the work that you do? Deva: I feel the work that I do, and work that I offer is about reclaiming your wildness. It’s about awakening your power and your sensuality and embodying that. It’s offering freedom for women, an acceptance of who they are. It brings women back home into their

bodies, which means that you’re living again. When you’re not inside your body, you’re going around with a mask on and you’re not having a felt experience of life. You’re disconnected from yourself and all things. So the most important part of my life is bringing you back to life.
KIM: What is your vision for the work that you do? Deva: I have many, many, pieces and parts of that vision. One part is I want to connect women from around the world together. To realize that you’re not alone doing this work. It is a hard path to walk and we need courage, and we need our sisters to walk with us. So my vision is to connect women globally to support one another; and so yes, definitely reaching people far and wide. I have a vision of having eight hundred acres of land, so that I can build community centres and feeling hubs for people to come and retreat. We have those spaces in life where it just gets too much, and we need to come back to ourselves and just close off from the world. So that we can again come back to our power and feel nourished, feel rejuvenated. I want to hold spaces where people can come into that magic. So I want to create that. Healing temple spaces where people come and return home into themselves again. Where you’re nourished, where you have that felt experience of who you are. You feel empowered.
KIM: What advice would you give to women that are reading this, who may feel disconnected from themselves? Deva: Be patient and don’t try to rush being where you are. Because where you are right now is perfect, and it’s material for your liberation. We need to feel every single part of where we are and I’ve been there, disconnected, lost, frightened and fearful. I’ve had this grasp of “I need to be someone else” or “I need to be somewhere else” and you don’t need to. Be exactly where you are right now, being patient, loving and kind to yourself. Begin with a first step of holding and loving yourself, and telling yourself that it’s okay to be where you are. Start listening to those inner whispers. That is the first step.

KIM: So we’ve spoken a little bit about what embodiment is so let’s flip that for a moment. There might be a woman that’s reading this who might not understand where she is on the spectrum of embodiment. So what does not being embodied look like? Deva: So for me it’s like you’re checked out of life. You’re not having a felt, sensory experience of yourself. So there’s not much pleasure in your life. You’re just going through the ABC’s of life and it feels like a chore. It feels like a job and your energy is very low, you’re drained a lot. And you know, like in women you can see that they have a vacant look in their eyes. There’s no spark, there’s no glow because they’ve checked out. That can be for many different reasons but you will know. Is there a sense of aliveness inside of you? Are you happy? You’ll know. The biggest key for me is sexual energy. Are you connecting sexually to yourself?
Deva: Eros and aliveness and pleasure can be… I think we have conditionings on it. That it should be shameful, and it should be shut down. So many people don’t have that connection. It’s like for me getting ready this morning, just curling my hair, it was the pleasure. Of feeling my own hair and taking that time to honour myself and then putting my feather earrings in. It’s feeling the aliveness and the joy. Yes, we can get pleasure from our sexual energy, but pleasure is in every single thing in life if we if we allow awareness and presence to be there. It’s connecting to yourself having a drink of water and feeling the water trickling down your throat. It can be sexual sensual energy, it can be pleasure. It can be the innocence of a child. How does this feel, what is this curiosity? It’s bringing that energy back to life and it doesn’t always have to be in a sexual and sensual way. It’s life force energy, it’s eros, it’s being connected to your senses.

KIM: That was going to be my next question. We got you write an article that also appears in this issue. You talk about embodiment and you speak of the importance of being connected to our ourselves sensually. To be juicy with ourselves and just really embracing that power within ourselves as women. How important do you feel that sexual energy is to a woman, and to really embody it?

Shamanic Water Ritual
Water is the element of our deep emotions and our unconscious.
by Renée McCready
T
he element of water helps purify, clear, cleanse and remove types of energy that may be stuck to our energy field. The element of water calls us into the deeper, even more shadow-like aspects of our wisdom that lie within our bones and blood. Water is symbolic of dreaming, healing, flowing, fluidity, purification, regeneration, stability, strength, change, fertility, devotion, receiving and unconditional love. It symbolises death as well as rebirth. It is lifegiving, but can also be destructive. All water is connected to every other drop of water. It’s holographic, and ancestral. All water eventually goes back to the sea. Water is a holder of information and knowledge. It is crystalline and conscious. Water holds us safe in the womb, and is also the blood and fluids of our great Mother. This water ritual calls in our protective ancestral primordial energies though the sacred connection to water, sacred geometry and the medicine of prayer. The sacred geometry of the spiral is feminine in nature, connects us to the fertility of our bodies and that of the earth, is the symbolism of Pachamama and the womb.
Crystals that you feel connected to to place in or near the spiral grid. Some type of sacred smoke - to clear and create your intent. Go to a body of water you feel connected to: a lake, river, the ocean, a stream or a pond. Collect some rocks, stones, sticks, driftwood or shells. Whatever natural objects are around you at the body of water’s bio region. Create a spiral with the natural objects, either in or near the body of water, whatever size spiral feels right for you. Place your crystals into the centre of the grid to represent the void, the space of our primordial creation, where all and everything is birthed from.
Centre yourself with a few deep breaths in your belly, then speak out loud the following prayer 6 times. Directing the prayer to each direction of the spiral, allowing your prayer to be carried on the element of air and soul flight to Great Spirit and the primordial void.
Prayer Blood of the mother The waterways of our earth Pulse of her heartbeat Allowing deep rebirth
Take your sacred smoke and spiral the smoke around the grid, using your breath to connect to the grid, the elements and your intent. Thank your ancestors and the ancestors of the land for assisting, and ask permission for this ceremony/ritual to take place in deep reverence.

Expanding Awareness by Sarah Baiada
L
iving life in pursuit of expanding your awareness is a powerful intention which takes courage and commitment to yourself. You can never predict how this will unfold and manifest in your reality. That’s the point. You have to let go of all expectations, because you haven’t read your own book. And new forms of awareness allow us to learn ourselves once again, rediscovering ancient knowledge, timeless ideas, being yourself and connecting with ancient lineages throughout time. We are taught very different ways of interpreting knowledge in this reality and school system. Our society is logic-based, but this misses the fact that those great minds who created the foundations of what we know as science, logic, and mathematics were all mystics. Visionaries, artists, philosophers, poets and wanderers. Awareness is a mystic tradition, a counterculture running alongside the ruling class of the day. We’re losing much of this tradition in the clever marketing of social media and new age movements, where being a seeker of knowledge takes the form of an Instagram-friendly lifestyle. The guru has been replaced by a meditation app and a device that measures your daily movements and cycles. And yet we are ironically more connected and aware of what’s happening in the world than ever before. Our digital global civilization expands our awareness much more quickly, with news and communications in real time. One person’s discovery can be heard across the oceans much faster now than even 10 years ago. Our ability for self-awareness is now mirrored by billions of other
31 Fierce Truths Magazine
people and their perception of awareness. This can be quite confronting on our own individual self awareness journey, as we apply differing expectations and mindsets about what this is perceived to be. One tribe’s traditional way of cultivating awareness is different to another. The great news is that we have an overabundance of tools and methods for learning and growth. However, it always needs to be intertwined with self-observation, humbleness, gratitude, endurance and persistence, acknowledgement and grace with oneself. Expressed awareness and personal growth can be demonstrated in a multitude of disciplines and expressions, ideally with respect for the traditional ways of its culture.
The journey of self-expansion follows a similar pattern: first you must acknowledge yourself, your journey and acknowledge the culture that you are learning alongside. With acknowledgement of the space you occupy, and observation for the nature and environment to which you are exposed. Then the clearing begins; of your mind, body and reality of all unconscious contracts and filters you may not have been aware of. Starting with the self
Each individual’s journey of expansion is so unique, and we are the ones who create the stories for this voyage. If you have been separated from your lineage’s traditional way of expanding awareness, there’s no need to worry or feel alone in this quest. You have been left all the nuggets of wisdom inside your body. Your inner world and your incredible body has everything you seek. Just like the ancient mystics hid the tales of their expanding awareness in plain sight, through art, statues, mathematics and secret languages. Another thing you may benefit from is trust in yourself, creating and allowing space for yourself, and being prepared to laugh with the humour of the cosmos. A process of expansion does not need to be rushed. We have time. And space. A lifetime. I remember I would always demand to know everything now! And one day I was so impatient and frustrated that I knew there was more to know, but certainly had not learnt how to be graceful with my approach to myself and my own journey. This one particular day I demanded to know the truth of it all. Then I began to feel a pain in my head. The only way to describe the sensation was like the hemispheres of my brain were splitting and opening rapidly. This was the moment
I realised I was making my journey harder than it needed to be. I was applying the same methods I had learnt through many years studying science and health towards my own personal journey. I was void of the human experience and, well, basically lacking love and grace. That was the moment I stopped being so hard on myself for not knowing all the mysteries of the universe, and began to let it be. An abundance of flow and ease flooded into my life after this moment. Anything I needed just appeared and I marvelled in witnessing this expansion happen in my own life, rippling into every part of my world. Deep trust with the universe and my support team didn’t need to be tested anymore. I really began to drop into awareness. Into presence. Into my human experience. Not the one that was taught to me and rote learned or modelled from authority figures. Rather my own journey with Earth amongst the stars. Each person goes through their own rites of passage, exploring a myriad of states of awareness. We are all so unique and the tapestry of our soul is expressed with our experiences. We then pass on this wisdom through generations in storytelling and a single line of scripture on a page that you must ponder for months. We pass on our keys and ancient wisdom, and these codes unlock sacred parts of our inner world. This inner world begins to expand and you transform your human experience. Increasing your capacity to experience connection, empathy and the journey of life itself. Ultimately expanding your awareness reminds us that we are all one, each expressing their own unique perception and love.

and then with your relationships and interactions with the reality playing out. Expansion comes in many forms, it isn’t linear or up and down. Expansion follows the wave-like structures of our Earth, taking into consideration the form in which you pay most attention. For example, do you learn through love? If so, the key is to observe your relationships of the heart. You might also learn through voice, so your keys of expansion may reside in your throat and ability to speak your truth.

AWAKEN Your
Third Eye It is time to remember how powerful you are by Kim Bleeze “Wait… what? Don’t I only have two eyes?” Could be what you are thinking right now if you don’t already know you have a third eye, right? And that’s true, you do only have two physical eyes. So what I mean is, your other eye. The eye that sits in the middle of your other eyes, and just up a bit. This is what is known as your Third Eye. To get really specific, this third eye is positioned in the centre of your forehead right where your pineal gland is, and in fact the two of them function together. You might go as far as to say that your pineal gland is your third eye. It acts as a gateway to deeper spiritual connection, heightened intuition and psychic abilities. When open, the third eye bridges us beyond our current 3D reality (your physical life and the earth plane) to the vast dimensions and realms beyond what we see with our physical sights and senses. In fact, the third eye is known as where the body, mind and spirit meet. So it has incredible transformational potential, connecting us to our extrasensory perceptions. These perceptions can enrich our lives as we navigate our current life in this world.
So awaken the third eye? What does that mean? Well, even though we are born with a third eye and most likely it was open, this doesn’t mean that it stays that way. Unfortunately, from the moment we begin to develop and function in this human suit of ours, the physical world around us begins to influence us. From what we eat, or what we are given to eat from our parents. The quality of water we drink. How others interact with us and what we are told about ourselves. And our parents’ and societal belief systems that are often forced upon us. So why might your third eye be closed, if it is meant to be one of your natural gifts?

Fierce Fitness by Jo Lastro
Taking Responsibility of Your Health “Your health is your most prized possession.” It might sound like a broken record, however the importance of taking care of our health and wellbeing cannot be stressed enough. Our physical health alone enables us to accomplish everyday tasks, ensures our vital organs continue to function as intended and sets us up to live long enough to enjoy the time we have with our friends, children and grandchildren. Taking responsibility for our health is not just for one day, but for all the days of our life. The health of our mind and body also contributes to how we feel about ourselves and our life. When we lose sight of our health and fitness goals, it often has a ripple effect on other areas in our life such as our selfesteem, our mental health and feelings of well-being, and even our relationships with others. The good news is that we all have the ability to take control of our health. You may think that your health and well-being is a destination and one day you will reach it; however, it’s more of a series of gradual efforts that are best accomplished one small step at a time. With Spring well underway (in Australia), there could not be a better time to take the first step and make a change for the better in your life.
How to Accept Responsibility The first step on your journey to accepting responsibility for your life is to shift your health and fitness goals away from what you want to lose, and focus on what you could gain. For example, confidence, empowerment, happiness and new experiences are much more sustainable goals than goals that solely focus on the physical. A combination of both mental and physical goals is a good place to start. Step away from the scales and start asking yourself: “Wouldn’t it be awesome if I could walk up the stairs without running out of breath?” or “Wouldn’t it be great if I could climb a mountain and join a new group and make new friends?” Anything is possible once you accept responsibility for what you could gain. This is when your body

will change, you will be in better shape, feel stronger, fitter and the key word, healthier.
Let’s Start at The Beginning Are you ready? Let’s start at the beginning. This I call breaking down your health and fitness goals, which will help you in making better choices on your path. All goals I believe need to be small and achievable for the lifestyle you lead. I know, you may be thinking it’s a bit strange to set goals for your health, but this is how responsibility starts and they have far-reaching effects that can spill into every area of your life. First and foremost: ensure that you journal your progress, as this will keep you focussed and motivated. Let’s go: 1. Write down how you feel; yes, at this exact moment. How do you feel about your body and your
current state of health? 2. What is your “Why?” Make a list of all the reasons why you want to have a healthy body. This could include losing weight, gaining more muscle, walking a good distance without huffing and

5. Taking responsibility and control of your health doesn’t mean you need to do this on your own. If you need guidance or someone to keep you accountable, reach out.
3. What lifestyle habits do you need to implement to improve your health? Are you wanting to follow a nutritious eating plan due to issues with your gut health, or do you want to drink less alcohol and more water?
Before you embark on any physical activity or exercise program, it’s recommended that you consult your doctor beforehand. Especially the older you are, if you haven’t exercised in a long time or suffer from a chronic medical condition.
4. What sort of exercise are you interested in? This could be walking, boxing, dancing, swimming, cardio or HIIT to name a few. Or do you want to take up a passion that has been at the back of your mind for ages, but you always thought you could never do that? What comes to mind? Is it hiking up mountains or running a marathon? Now that you have set some clear boundaries for yourself, last and not least:
Action With your goals set, now is the time to put them to action. For the purpose of this exercise: your goal is to get fit, cut back on the sugary drinks, drink more water and strengthen your core. Here is my simple and easy to do core exercise you can do anywhere at any time. You don’t need much room or any fancy equipment
Superman 1. Lie on your front, with your arms and legs extended. 2. Raise your head, your right arm and your left leg about 10-15cm off the floor. Hold for a count of three, then lower back down to the start position. Repeat with your left arm and right leg. 10 repeats on each side.
End The minute you show up and start treating your body like it is worth something, is the minute you take responsibility for it. Make the choice to take responsibility to find what works for your body and enjoy the process of carving out your personal path to vibrant health and wellbeing.

EARTH By Renée McCready Lady Pachamama, Earth Wisdom Keeper
Trees as Teachers -The Standing People, Our Wise Old Elders
““Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky” - Kahlil Gibran When you walk in a forest, what energy do you feel? Is it magical, mystical, primordial? Does it hold a story connected to the old ways? Does it make you want to breathe deeply and stand still? I observe trees as a pure protective force. Their canopy of branches reaches up to the sky, acting like a conductor on earth for the universal source energies. Their roots reach deep into the earth and tap into the wellspring of ancestral stories from time immemorial.
I see trees as caretakers of life, record holders, wise elders and storytellers. If trees are storytellers, what is your relationship and story with a certain tree or particular species of trees? For a moment, think back to when you were a child. Did you ever climb a tree in your own backyard, at school, or in the park? Did you sit up in its’ highest branches, giving you a different vantage point of the land below? Did you ever sit under a certain tree whilst its canopy protected you from the rain or the sun? Did you ever notice the dappled light playing and dancing through the branches? How did this make you feel?
What tree felt like a grandfather to you, quietly but strongly holding space for your own growth? This month, my intent is to weave some narrative of my personal experience connected to the power trees can represent in one’s own life. I grew up in the Wakatipu, in a town called Queenstown, in New Zealand. Invasive species of conifer, wilding pine and fir created endless vistas and covered the hills around the town. As a child this comforted me. They indeed were my grandfathers; I felt held and protected. I never felt alone wandering through the many pine forests, building huts, collecting the fallen needles to lay on, listening to the sounds of the birds nesting. The smell of pine resin is still a soothing balm to my soul. It holds and evokes all my childhood memories in its’ pinene and limonene scent. The summer I finished high school, I hitched the distance from my home in the south island to the north island, to sit in the presence of the grandfather tree of my motherland New Zealand, Tané Mahuta. Also known as
47 Fierce Truths Magazine
God of the Forest, this giant Kauri is the largest and oldest known tree in New Zealand, and the world. It is estimated to be between 1,250 and 2,500 years old. Legend says that Tané Mahuta is the “separator of heaven and earth”, a sacred tree that holds ancient stories, a living library. Time stands still when you are in the presence of this majestic being. A tree not only holds space and stories. It is also home to many insects, reptiles, birds, microscopic bugs, bacteria and other creatures. Trees provide us with wood for warmth and shelter. They create symbiotic relationships with other ancient and profound plant beings like moss and lichen.
Even from a purely chemical perspective, a symbiotic relationship exists between trees and humans. Humans breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, while trees breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. So we are in constant communion with the natural world, even if we are unaware of it. There is a theory called the “Biophilia hypothesis”. It suggests that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life. Biophilic experiences can reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and enhance mood and creativity. These and other

set out to find. Whichever way you find your sacred tree, the greater forest totem reminds us that all trees are always interconnected, through no time-space. And if you find yourself in a different place from your childhood sacred tree, you can always seek another and ask the spirit of your childhood sacred tree to also be present.
outcomes can increase health and well-being. “Forest bathing”, or shinrin-yoku as the Japanese call it, is the art of taking in the forest through all five senses. It has recently gained some popularity. In his book Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness, Dr. Qing Li, chairman of the Japanese Society for Forest Medicine, lays out the science behind the practice. He explains that spending time in the forest is so healing because trees release phytoncides, natural oils that protect the plants from bacteria, insects, and fungi. These phytoncides linger in the forest air and when humans inhale them, they receive a whole host of benefits. For instance, benefits may include a boosted immune system, lower levels of stress hormones, reduced blood pressure, decreased anger, greater creativity, improved problem-solving skills and better sleep at night. What’s more, Li found that you only have to spend two hours per month in the forest to reap the benefits.
We all have a sacred tree, one that represents a spirit that can link us into the greater cosmos. A sacred tree is a grounding influence that can constantly remind us of our connection to the great mystery. A sacred tree is sometimes a tree from our childhood, one we come across quite by accident or one we intentionally
When I was a child, I would visit two sacred trees in the Queenstown Botanical Gardens: a Monkey Puzzle and a Giant California Redwood. These trees are etched into my memory. I always honour their spirit because they are my ancestors from the land where I took my first breath. If I ever see a Monkey Puzzle or a California Redwood, I’m immediately transported though timeless space to the feeling residing in my cells, that the spirit of these trees held for me as a child. Sacred trees become guides to us throughout our lives, much like other spirit guides or ancestors do. Forests are supported by mother trees. These are the trees that are tasked with carrying nature’s ancient genetic memory forward. Mother trees hold the seed that will create a healthy biodiversity. They also send nutrients and information to other trees in the forest that are unwell or needing assistance. They are constantly in service to the greater forest totem energy. Nearly all ancient cultures held that trees were sacred. Druids believed that trees held nature spirits and nymphs called dryads, elemental beings that you could commune with. They believed that the trees held wisdoms of the universe, so they would make offering, ceremony and prayer to the trees. Many trees also hold sacred medicine that assists great awakenings both personally and collectively. These sacred medicines have been revered through time by shamans in many countries around the world. My personal story deeply connects to the standing people. I am a forest dweller. We live nestled in the middle of a greater forest intelligence, an ecosystem that we are but one intrinsic part of. Over time, the forest has guided us lovingly to “unlearn” what we were taught, and show us more authentic and sustainable ways to live.
A conversation with a forest will change your life. It will link you into your primal self, your wild and true mystic. Even Buddha found enlightenment beneath a tree. They are beyond any doubt our wise old elders, reminding us that we are always protected. Trees gift us an understanding of being present, being steadfast, and never losing our sense of wonder.

Empowered Healing Transforming Through Self Awareness
By Karina Barca
FEMALE SEXUALITY… SHHH Sexuality. Is it taboo? Does secrecy and judgment still surround this topic? Or have we achieved a level of acceptance that goes beyond that programming, conditioning and thought? Hmmm… Many people automatically think sexuality is just about sex or sexual orientation. But there is so much more substance to it than that. Sexuality encompasses such a large array of factors, such as: • How you feel as a woman, and how comfortable you are within yourself in that role and within your relationships. • How connected you feel to yourself on a deep core level, and your feminine energy. • How you perceive and see yourself in general. • Your confidence, self-esteem, self-respect, and
51 Fierce Truths Magazine
self-love also play an enormous role in this. So, as you can see, there are many facets to a person’s sexuality. For many women (especially teenagers and young adults), it is difficult to get clear on being a woman who knows and is comfortable in her own sexuality. This is due to there being so many false perceptions around this topic. The main factors lie in the programming and conditioning we are exposed to and taught in our upbringing, in society, and through all social media platforms. We are constantly shown and told the extremely superficial viewpoint of what we must look like, and how we must act or behave to be desirable and sexy. And it is usually so we can be that for someone else, not ourselves! So, how do we achieve this level of connection and acceptance within ourselves?

to try and make all these observations with as much objectiveness as possible, so as not to get emotionally charged and blur the truth in what you are discovering about yourself. But in saying that, it is also quite common to have emotional release during these observations. Especially if you realise that you are not being true to yourself. For instance, accepting words or behaviours that are belittling, sexist or disrespectful and that do not align with you and your core morals and values.
absolutely nothing wrong with self-exploration and selfpleasure. It is a natural part of our relationship with ourself. It allows you to recognise and acknowledge yourself in a different light. To be playful, adventurous and develop self-intimacy, and feel sexy and fiery for you and no one else. Knowing what makes you tick and what feels good to you physically, by trying it and turning yourself on, is very freeing and powerful. It allows YOU to know yourself first. For you and only you.
Although you can do all the above-mentioned observations on your own, this usually requires deep inner work. Assistance and guidance can help tremendously and are highly recommended.
Once you develop the awareness, do the inner work and overcome all judgements, emotions and feelings that make you uncomfortable, you can achieve a wonderful level of connectedness and being comfortable in your own skin.
This could be in the form of: • Energy healing. • Spiritual guidance and selfdevelopment. • Counselling.
Well, firstly it takes awareness and an undoing of all the years of programming. It requires you to look at yourself. Pay close attention to your emotions and how you feel in certain situations and scenarios, and which emotions they provoke in you. When you are getting dressed, whether it be for work, a date, dinner or clubbing with friends, who are you dressing for? Also observing how you are treated and how you respond. This is a crucial step, as it allows you to become aware of what you accept and/or what you do not accept. This ties in directly with your own self-respect, self-esteem and self-love. It is particularly important
• Tantric breathing exercises or classes. Just to name a few. Being comfortable in your own sexuality also requires you to explore. Yes, there is a sexual aspect to this. But not in the way you may think. An important part of this journey requires self-exploration, through touching and feeling and being comfortable within yourself to do so. Doing this can be quite uncomfortable and confrontational for many. It can be met with feelings of guilt, judgement, and feeling dirty or trampy.
You may discover a new relationship with yourself, and build a deeper understanding of what being a woman means to you. By knowing yourself on an intimate level, you can reach a higher level of sexual selfacceptance that will allow you to dress, feel and carry yourself with a newfound confidence. You can either voice or walk away from situations that make you feel less or disrespected. You should also recognise that everything you see that is desirable in others, is also within you. You begin to do things for you, and the rest will just be, because you will know the woman that you are. You will be a walking fiery Goddess that oozes her own sexuality, from the inside out, just because you SEE and KNOW yourself like no one else.

Responsible witchcraft

Because it’s not all wands and wishes
Just over a decade ago, I considered myself footloose and fancy free: no kids, no pets and family interstate. I was untethered – a bit of a tumbleweed – and I thought that was a good thing. I called it, “bohemian”. Shambolic, more like it. Words like discipline and structure were anathema to me, and the last thing I wanted was responsibility. Hell, I couldn’t be trusted with a Siamese fighting fish. It turns out though that I thrive on discipline, structure and ties to community, friends and family. I’m a house cat, not a lone wolf. So, how does that fit with being a solitary witch? I’ll answer that in two seconds, but first, a caveat. There’s about a gazillion definitions of magic and just as many ways of practicing it. So, I’m speaking very much for myself. If any of this doesn’t float your boat – that’s totally cool.

My flavour of witchcraft is nature-based. I’m watching the seasons turn in my neighbourhood and rolling with the cycle of the moon. I greet the sun before brekkie and bid farewell to lady luna at the end of the day. I engage in ritual often, but spell-work for wish fulfilment not so much. You’re more likely to catch me asking for opportunities to be of service and for guidance about how I can be helpful that day (or more broadly). For instance, when it became clear that we’d be in the throes of a pandemic, I spread cards asking for direction about how best to be helpful. In short, I try my darnedest to practice witchcraft responsibly. Not all witches align themselves with that as a guiding principle, and they don’t have to. But it is my bag, and here’s a little look at what’s in it.
Sustainability I’ll start with the easier stuff. First up – compost, but make it magic. I have a worm farm on our tiny back porch and I drew sigils on the inside of the lid. These are magical symbols asking for protection for our plants, the earth and to turn my brown thumb green. I think they’re working too, because we have a thriving mini-magical ecosystem. Our chubby earthworms make worm tea to feed the herbs (nettles, parsley, three types of mint, rosemary and lemon balm), which grow ridiculously lush. I whisper to them, asking for permission to harvest. I take only what I need and never more than a third of a plant. You can find them in our house – tiny cuttings go in egg cups and bigger ones in jars on my altar. They dry on our clothes rack. Cuttings are cultivated in the kitchen window. Others appear in dinners, baking, teas, tisanes, poppets and charm bags. This one stings a bit. I love shiny, colourful things. So, naturally, I love crystals and in witchcraft we can use them a lot. However, when we know better, we do better. So, I understand now that crystals are not necessarily mined ethically or with regard to the earth’s best interests. It doesn’t mean I’m going to throw out my stash, but I’m not acquiring any more unless I pick them up off the ground myself when I’m out rambling. That said, you can definitely purchase them from places that do source them with sustainability in mind. This one hurts too, because I dig on the smell and I love burning stuff. However, I’m not buying white sage when I need to get a smoke on to cleanse myself or a space anymore. I’m not going to go into this one chapter and verse, because you can look it up, but there’re cultural and ecological reasons against an Aussie, ginger witch doing it. Also, I can just as easily use lavender, rosemary or pine (some of which I can snip from my own garden, which makes it oh, so much more satisfying). My next challenge is to buy less stuff. Books are my weakness and I love a new witchcraft tome. There’re plenty of occult books at the library, though. I just need to be patient. Or, E-books in a pinch.
Volunteering Maybe volunteering isn’t something that springs readily to mind when it comes to witch business. However, as an archetype, the witch is a rebel and activist. So far, I’ve mostly emphasised the “craft” in witchcraft in this department, as opposed to storming the walls. For instance, I pearled up a storm when Melbourne’s esoteric emporium Muses of Mystery played host to a knitting and sewing extravaganza earlier this year. We were making pouches for wildlife injured and orphaned in the bushfires. Each stitch was a wish. Quite literally, knot magic. A fortnight later, I ran a knita-thon at my muggle job. No one needed to know that I was still spelling away, quietly.
Body and soul I am responsible. That’s on a sign at one of my community gatherings. I take it to extend to what I eat, drink and think, all of which can be sprinkled with magic too. When you can find magic in the mundane, you start to elevate the every day to the level of spiritual. That said, I am privileged in that I can afford good food, clean water and a shrink. With that backdrop, I eat food that won’t inflame my system or make me ratty. I’ve learned from experience that if I ingest certain things, I feel gross, so I don’t. Moreover, I prepare food with love. I stir kisses and good health into what I’m cooking. Foods have magical as well as medicinal correspondences, so maybe I’ll add rose buds to a tea if I’m needing a bit of extra self-acceptance or lavender for sweet slumber. Right now, the earth’s need is overwhelming. That can make me feel helpless if I dwell on it for too long. So, I operate on a micro level. All of the above are small things, but they’re within my control. It’s these tiny things that I can do all day, every day, and that’s empowering.

22nd December 2019 to 21st January 2020
The energy of Scorpio can feel a bit too deep and intense for you. Exploring the depths of your personal truth and philosophy can feel too serious if you can’t see how it will expand your wisdom. Your social circle will feel like it is moving into a different direction. See this as a learning and growth opportunity. You will be gifted with new connections that will contribute personally and professionally. Avoid getting too caught up in other people’s dramas with your own version of the truth. Be supportive, but be careful how you deliver your opinions. They may not be received the way you intended. As the Full Moon peaks in Taurus, structure and security will have you rethinking your path and looking for safer options to find the right direction for you. Everything will balance out and this will help you to see which relationships create harmony or disrupt you completely. It’s important to be strategic when manifesting your goals and desires. Being impulsive could have you backtracking with the New Moon in Scorpio, bringing in the need for contemplation and focus before we move into the expansion of your Personal New Year on the 22nd November.
This is the perfect energy for contemplation and planning Capricorn. Trust your intuition and you will see how you can take the initiative to work with practical flow and ease. If you are feeling inspired, have faith in yourself and avoid taking things too seriously. Whilst your relationships may be tested as the people around you are working through their own growth, you will also be challenged to stay focused on your own direction. It’s also important to acknowledge that it’s not always your responsibility to work everything out. Allow your creative power to flow as you release during the Taurus Full Moon. This is the perfect energy for you to break down the old, and clear space to build new foundations for starting new projects. You may feel a bit challenged in communicating your thoughts and ideas for others to understand. Have patience and look for another way to create the cooperation you require to get everything happening and moving in the right direction. Everything can and will fall into place, but it really depends on how you step into your leadership to initiate your plans before we move into the time of Sagittarian expansion on the 22nd November.
AQUARIUS
21st January to 19th February 2020 Your unconventional and innovative nature will be an asset as you move through this Scorpion energy. Whilst you may feel tested, it can also propel you forward. It’s all about how you choose to perceive each situation and the actions you take as a result. Friendships and social networks will provide you with the opportunity to learn and progress. Mercury Retrograde in Libra will shed a positive light on interpersonal relationships and your ideals around fairness and justice. Negotiations and discussions regarding equality and balance will help to create a better situation for all involved. Go with the flow and make the most of the opportunity to share your message through technology and social connections. Whilst you may feel an emotional pull from the Full Moon in Taurus, make the most of this time to release any routines or patterns that have held you back. Stay focused on your big picture and be detached on the outcomes. The New Moon in Scorpio will help you to trust your intuition. Focus on finding answers within to determine the right actions for you to create everything you are committed to bringing into form, before we move into the complimentary energy of Sagittarius.
