…That is why the work I do with women isn’t around rules or dogma or “this is the way” or absolutes- it’s around learning the language of your own heart and body so you don’t mistake your programmed mind’s messages for truth.
Because your life and happiness depends on it.
If I had made decisions from “he is supposed to be A, B, C. So I won’t settle and I will wait” then I would not be experiencing the deepest most beautiful love of my life.
Let go of how you think it should be.
Learn to feel deeply under it all.
Learn the language of your soul.
Learn to discern the voices inside and where they come from.
Learn to feel past the pain and the stories you’ve outgrown.
Love is always there - I did deep work for 6 years until I was ready to be met in my own heart’s stream- and even then it was/is a journey to receive.
Thank Goddess I opened instead of closed in that moment.
Wishing you all COURAGE cause that’s what it takes to leap, open, receive and FEEL truth.
😘 Alexandra

❤️‍🔥Part 1 of 2: On Receiving Deep Love…❤️‍🔥
Last June I had a private session with a teacher who was mentoring me around intimacy. I was telling her about this man I had met and how much I liked him but I wasn’t sure our life paths were fully aligned.
I was a public person, and on a certain path, and he was private, and his life seemed more modest than mine.
Her words to me were something along the lines of “Wait for a man who has money, power AND spirit. You don’t have to settle.”
I heard her. It wasn’t bad advice. But it didn’t feel 100% resonant to me.
Luckily I am very independent and I listen to myself first. Always. Even when I was a child I was very strong willed when it came to most things.
I felt deep in my guts- my own relationship to being seduced by gobs of fame and money was rooted in capitalist programming and SHADOW.
So why would I hold a man to that? If he’s not a millionaire public person than he’s not my dream guy?
I am SO F-ING glad I went with my heart and soul and am deeply in love with a man who is so present and so deep and does his work beautifully even though he isn’t all over the internet. He is also powerful and does well, just doesn’t flaunt it!
I wonder how many women listen to this kind of advice:
“Your king will come! Don’t settle!”
And sure there are non-negotiables.
But there are also unreal expectations rooted in fantasy.
My own cloudy vision at the time (we all have subjective vision) could not SEE all of my partner when I met him. But I stayed with it anyway.
My gut was a FUCK YES.
Even if my mind was terrified and like: “Does he check off all the boxes in king land?”
My heart and gut knew truth.
It pains me when I hear women all up in their heads about is he conscious enough, masculine enough, strong enough, rich enough- it PAINS me.
The body and heart’s language are where truth lies IMHO.
And I don’t mean the reactive body or a trauma response.
I mean the grounded feelings and truths under the surface.
And this takes skill to discern…

People ask me sometimes how you do have confidence

Some days living with an open heart feels terrible

Too big, too loud, too small, too quiet, too tall,

“There are one million ways people pretend. Ways
