Finding our inner sovereign queen…
In the Goddess Wheel of the Year - Autumn and the Equinox are associated with the archetype of the Queen. She is the sovereign of her realm – but of course, her realm is internal, it is her beautiful, wild, sacred inner self…
When you are in need of a guiding hand that you can trust deeply, call on your inner Queen. Use her strength and energy to become the sovereign of your realms, of your lands – the land of your body and the land of your life. This is the time to wrap the Queen’s energy around you like a protective mantle, so you can stand tall and speak your truth.
The queen invites us to reframe the patriarchal idea of sovereignty - which is about dominion over others. In the Queen’s sovereignty, we find rightful sovereignty over our own body, mind and soul.
A meditation for Queen energy….
The Queen channels a sense of learned inner wisdom, of reconnecting with ourselves, coming to know ourselves anew, discovering our own power….
She is deeply linked with the element of earth – of presence and strength and form and foundation. Being rooted.
Queen is the stability of the earth and the deep roots of trees. She is the autumnal wisdom that knows when to release and let go.
Queen brings with her a hunger to chart our own lives, to honour the truth of our experiences, to stay loyal to the wisdom within…
She learns, she listens, she reflects, and then she speaks her wisdom…
She knows her inner gold and her shadows and owns them with confidence and without fear.
And she models how to stand in the power of your life experience, the challenges you’ve overcome, creations you’ve brought forth and the wisdom you have accrued.
So, let us sit together now as equals – and see in each other the power that perhaps we sometimes cannot see in ourselves.
And as we do that, as you witness the power of each woman here, know that the other women are seeing power, strength, grace and beauty in you…they see the Queen of you….what would happen if we could see that in ourselves?
Know that we see your radiance and joy. We see the challenges and hurts in your life. But we know that you have learned so much from these experiences that they have become a wellspring of wisdom…
Now is the time to stop silencing your voice, to set your own boundaries, to hold your values close to your heart, to know your own mind, to mark your boundaries with clarity…
Just as a sovereign Queen protects her realm and all living things which dwell therein, Queen energy empowers you to protect yourself – your energy, your values, and all that you hold dear.
Sovereignty shows you how to hold the moving edge of who you know yourself to be and approach the horizon of who you are to become…. you are not what has happened to you, you are what you choose to be…
You are not what happened to you. You are what you choose to be.
