More Room for your Big Sparkly Magic

Welcome to the Timely Drops of Wisdom podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Carmon, founder of Resourced Apothecary, where we are asking you to rethink how you refill your cup. Resourced Apothecary offers sustainable practices and products to help you deepen your connection to yourself, your community, and to mother earth.

here in this podcast, I'm sharing the plant spirit medicine I receive from the plants and the land. The plants share their wisdom through messages and actual medicines. We'll discuss both in detail. In addition, I provide sound healing and guided meditation to help you connect in with the plants in your unique way.

and I offer suggestions for integrating all of this into your life with rituals and practices that are both manageable and powerful. I'm thankful you're here. Let's get into today's topic.

 Today I was going to speak on the sacral chakra. I have a fun PDF that shows correspondences for the sacral chakra and gives examples of what a balanced chakra might look like and what an out of balance chakra might look like. It's great. 

I like to review fundamental information periodically, not because you don't know it, but because the review itself can bring to light elements that may hit different in different seasons of your life.

That kind of stuff, returning to the basics can be so powerful. You know? 

Anyway, the thought of reviewing the sacral chakra today doesn't light me up, so I'm going to link to that PDF so you can download and save it. Like I said, it's a nice reference to have and I do want to share it with you. I just feel like getting into a little more watery topics today, so come on that journey with me.

I've been surprised by my emotional energy today, and as I mentioned watery topics just now. It occurred to me that we are in the New Moon Energy and this new Moon is in Pisces, so of course it's a watery, emo kind of vibe lately.  as we've been exploring moon time dreaming with Mugwort and Larimar, a lot has come up for me.

Have you been seeing things rise to the surface lately? I just find it so interesting. The deeper I go into this work, the more I'm able to kind of look at myself and what's coming up in this observer way. Like, I'll be in the moment feeling my feels and reacting how I do, and then just kind of pause and it's like I'm stepping outside the scene to analyze it.

I'll start saying, oh, this is interesting. I'm not responding how I'd like to, what's up here? Or, oh, look at me handling that situation better than I have in the past. I'm healing, yay.

It definitely feels watery.  It feels like I'm swimming around and through reality, I mean, I'm into it for sure, and it's a lot.

Are you noticing differences in your reality or how you process what's coming up for you? In the Resource Rituals membership, we've been discussing our body's cycle, 

playing with the idea that when we tune into our energetic cycles and our physical cycles and patterns, we start to see a bigger picture of how we operate. We can take advantage of how we function rather than spend so much time trying to fit into a system or way of operating that just does not serve us.

as I notice old biases and limiting beliefs rise up, I'm also noticing how much I just do not fit into normal patterns. Be those professional or domestic. I just don't fit. I've always spent a large amount of energy trying to fit into these predefined roles that, or fretting about how I don't fit. I've been so blessed lately to be in contact with people and situations that help me see maybe I need to stop putting so much energy into both of those activities and just blaze my trail.

The funny thing here is that that's what I thought I was doing.  I thought I was doing my own thing and walking my own path, but I'm seeing that I was really just trying to fit into a slightly different shaped box. The still acceptable, but not completely mainstream box.  even more interesting is that the people who have been helping me open up to my truth and who have been encouraging me to just let my freak flag fly, as they say, are not people who are on my same path.

They don't have experience with my particular interests, and they haven't been where I'm going, so to speak, but they are supportive of me blazing my trail because that light radiates out to all the other potential trailblazers. So I'm wondering, as you walk through exploring the blocks and stagnation in your energy field, are you seeing the blocks and stagnation in your everyday life?

Are you starting to feel like there is just no way to fit into these boxes you've been shoving yourself into? Like there's just no way you'll ever become that shiny, polished version of whatever you've been aspiring to?

I'm not going to lie. I kind of hope you are.  because feeling that even though it can suck is a step toward uncovering your unique expression in this life. That may look different, that may have you feeling unpolished or feeling like no one will be able to relate to whatever weird truth is bubbling up inside you.

and let me tell you friend, that means your big sparkly magic is getting ready to break through. 

So let me share the reminder with you that I needed this week. The more palatable you try to be, the less magnetic you will be. The more you try to universalize your truth, the less you glow and consequently, the less real impact you have when you let yourself really embrace your wild, weird truth. Not only do your people find you, but all those who maybe aren't your people or who don't know they are yet get to see a shining example of alignment. And what a gift that is to the entire world.

So as we move into spring, I really hope you'll open up to your beautiful sacral energy.

I hope you'll open up to deepening your relationship with yourself, cultivating self-love. Here, Mary Gold is going to grace us with her wisdom. In the coming weeks, we're going to invite in the fiery divine feminine. We're going to let her remind us how to shine bright and stand out. 

This is exciting times for me. I just love Marigold and I can't get enough of her bold femininity. 

 I  feel even more ready to receive her message and her medicine in this season, and I really look forward to sharing not only what we've already heard from her, because again, it will hit different, but also new messages and medicine. It seems like this journey through the chakras that we're on will keep moving throughout the year.

Next stop is the sacral chakra, and I could stay here for months. There is so much wisdom in this energy center and so much to explore. This is gonna be fun, and I'm so glad you're here with me for all of it. Until next time, big love my friend.
