Hi friend,
Trauma, attachment wounds, and disconnection from the body can pull us far from our own wildness. They sever the thread between us and the instincts that know how to love fiercely, to nurture, to trust.
If we want to hear the quiet truth of our hearts and bodies, we must first clear the path. That means softening the loops of fear, releasing the ancestral stories that keep us stuck, and remembering that our joy, too, is medicine.
The earth has always known how to hold us. When we return to the land, to the places that invite us to grieve, to breathe, to feel, something in us remembers. We reclaim the wisdom of our instincts. We return to the voice within that says, this is the way home.
This path is not only about healing our own wounds. It is about becoming future elders who carry the torch for love, healing, and generational joy. When we create space for our wildness, we also create new stories of connection, reciprocity, and celebration for those who come after us.

Let your life be a loving prayer as you unfold from generations of pain into a future elder carrying the torch for love, healing and generational joy.
✨ Practice for the Week: Clearing the Path Within
When we carry trauma and old stories, our body often fills with parts that hold fear, pain, or disconnection. These parts can loop in protective patterns that keep us from hearing our deeper instincts and inner wisdom. By turning toward them with care, we begin to clear the path back to ourselves.
Step 1: Arrive
Find a quiet place where you can sit or lie down. Feel the support beneath you — the chair, the floor, the earth. Take three slow breaths, allowing your body to settle with each exhale.
Step 2: Notice
Bring your awareness inside. Notice what’s present today. Are there areas of tension, buzzing thoughts, or heaviness in your body? These sensations may be connected to parts of you that are carrying something important.
Step 3: Turn Toward
Choose one sensation to stay with for a moment. Instead of pushing it away, simply acknowledge it. You might say internally: “I see you. I’m here with you.” Nothing needs to shift or change. Just notice what happens when you offer presence.
Step 4: Pendulate
Gently shift your attention to another area of your body that feels more neutral or resourced — perhaps your hands, feet, or the rhythm of your breath. Rest here for a few moments, then return to the first sensation if it feels right. This back-and-forth builds your capacity to be with what feels difficult without overwhelm.
Step 5: Integrate
Take a moment to sense the whole of your body. Notice how it feels to have given space to both the tender and the resourced places. This is Self-energy — the calm, compassionate presence at your core — making more room for your instincts and inner guidance to emerge.
Step 6: Return
Open your eyes. Look around the room and orient to your surroundings. Let yourself feel the present moment before moving back into your day.
Journalling Prompts
What old stories or ancestral patterns do I feel looping in my body right now? Where do I notice them most?
When I pause and listen inward, what part of me most wants my attention today? What is it carrying?
Which parts of my body feel more resourced, steady, or available? How can I return to these places when I need support?
What does “my wild instincts” mean to me, and how do I know when I’m in touch with them?
How might I begin to live as though my life itself is a loving prayer — for me, for those who came before me, and for those who will come after?
Where in my daily life can I make more space for quiet listening — to my body, to the land, and to my inner voice?
As you walk this path, remember you are not alone. You carry the prayers of those who came before you, and you plant the seeds of joy for those yet to come. Trust that your body, your instincts, and the land itself will guide you back into wholeness.
Let your days be a living prayer — one that honors your healing, your becoming, and the future generations who will inherit the stories you choose to write today.
Love,
Shay
