How to become the
Queen of
I don’t give a fuck,
Reclaim your Power,
And live for YOU:
.
Affirm:
I will wise up to what they
try to sell me
Or tell me
To be,
Or how to act-
.
I will question things
I will say no if I am uncertain
I will not go with the stream but choose my route carefully.
.
So I may wear dirty socks!
I may talk w my mouth open !
I may drink!
I may curse!
I may not drink!
I may not curse!
.
This is my human life
And I get to choose what I care about and put my time and money and energy into as my co-creation with Reality !
.
So I will make art out of cooking casseroles and curries!
And I will try and rescue stray dogs !
And I will try to make enough money to adopt little girls without families !
And I will try to help the rainforest !
.
I will boycott Guilt and Shame!
I will protest homogenization!
I will invest in wild laughter And tickling!
.
I will pay attention closely to the words of the Grandmothers of the World!
.
I will help others around me rise as much as possible, but not at my own expense-
.
But I don’t give a fuck
About fancy people
And fancy jobs
I want art
I want blood
I want guts
I don’t give a fuck about labels
And who knows who!
.
I want to be kissed
And I want to write
I want to chant to the divine source within me
Clearing away all the things I thought I should be or do or say-
A life long reclaiming it shall be
Every moment a CHOICE
Choose the road paved by the past
OR A NEW GLORIOUS ONE!
.
So goodbye Facetuning my Shit!
Hello Facing My Shit!
.
I LOVE U
Thank you for being bold and taking risks to reclaim and radically love THE REAL YOU.
.
For that you is a magnificent work of art that I am excited to know.
.
BLESSED BE.

Rock on w your bad self babay! 🤘🏼✊🏻😘 JAI KALI MA!

Last night I was laying in bed thinking “Wow it’s so cool that I get to be a human! Why am I sometimes grumpy and complaining about this human existence?! What a joy to eat, to fuck, to dance, to kiss!!! One day, any day, I will die. So I am going to fully live. NOW.”
.
I used to feel guilty for being human.
For being hungry.
For being horny.
I was ashamed.
I thought I was impure.
.
I tried to erase my humanness with prayers and mantras and breathing. And then one day it hit me: “Holy shit! One day I won’t be human anymore! I am so lucky to be Alexandra this life! I am going to celebrate! Dance! Make love! Eat! Swim! Taste life fully! Let life live through me. Let the Divine live through me.”
.
So I did many years of healing shame.
Transforming guilt.
Releasing conditioning.
.
So I could be back to BASICS and say: Hi! I am Alexandra. A human who loves to kiss! Dance! Eat chocolate! Cry! And that is my job this life. To be FULLY ME. Fully HUMAN.
.
So as I was laying in bed last night I thought: “Wow, I need to be spending way more time making out before I die. I spend most days “trying to help others” and SO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER but not NEARLY enough time dancing and making love and putting my hands in the dirt and hugging friends! Time to reset the priorities with work and pleasure before I die!”
.
So today I am considering how to make my life
less computer
and more
Hugs
Kisses
Hand holds
Dances
Poems
Cooking stews
Picking berries
Foot Massages
Earth Help meetings
Naked
Laughter
Outdoor showers
In the field helping others
Singing.
.
Embracing my humanity.
Surrendering to this experience and enjoying it
ALL before I die.
.
I haven’t quite figured it out, YET!
But I am not gonna give up anytime soon.
.
Happy Friday, day of the Goddess.

Who are you when you think no one is looking?
.
I am a woman with the remnants of red lipstick I have smeared off before leaving a photo shoot because I prefer a more natural look nowadays-
I am a woman who has hated wearing bras for 15 years, yet often does it anyway, and then remembers I hate them again and shoves them in my bag when no one is looking -
.
I am a woman who loves the feeling of silk on my skin, enough to scour thrift stores and free piles for over a decade to find finds like the shirt above, from a free bin this summer -
.
I am a woman who giggles alone, often-
.
I am a woman who has been loved deeply, kissed in the mornings, brought coffee in bed, whom people have written poetry for-
.
I am a woman who cries often, and loves it each time as if it were a work of art-
.
I am a woman who has traded my big power for breadcrumbs of love, many many times-
.
I am a woman who has said yes, when I meant no-
.
I am a woman who has been over dramatic often and felt shy about it -
I am a woman who has been more silly some years than others-
.
I am a woman who has loved many people, and wiped their tears as they have cried in my arms-
.
I am a woman who has lived,
Done risky things,
Stupid things,
Fucked up a lot,
Followed my heart even when it confuses me,
Lived for me
and an Infinite Invisible Path
I know I am on-
.
One thing is consistent:
I keep getting to know this Changing Being-
I don’t demand she be the same person, year to year, I let her flower, change, grow, morph, I forgive her, I care for her, I treat her like a queen as much as I can. I try not to take her too seriously. I whip her into shape when she needs it and I am gentle when she needs that too.
.
What a joy it is to watch her grow, to watch her fail and get up again, and give her gifts to the world even when it hurts, and ask others around her to do the same.
.

If your happiness,
your joy,
your freedom comes from the outside you’ll always be chasing-
Pulled around by external things-
But if it comes from the
INSIDE
Then you get
INFINITE ACCESS!
To bliss
To joy
To love
To freedom!
.
This takes practice of course.
.
Perhaps you are like me and have practiced more thoughts about “How you can do better”
and “What’s wrong about you that needs to be fixed”
instead of
WHAT IS RIGHT AND PERFECT ABOUT YOU!
.
When you practice seeing
What is right
What is a delight
When you create and reinforce this gratitude mindset !
This joy mindset !
This ecstatic mindset !
Then you create freedom from the lack
The scarcity
The “I am not good enough” story
The “I am not worthy” story.
.
You switch to the “Fuck yeah I will dance even when it hurts!” Story
You switch to the “Yes I will find laughter even when shit feels hard!” Mindset.
.
And the World reaches out to meet you there.
.
Read Practices to strengthen this muscle on @the_numinous in my last Holy F*ck column! Link in stories!

In the space inside my ribs,
Behind my heart,
There is a well of
Bliss,
Of ecstasy,
Of joy!
.
Why do I spend weeks and months forgetting about this pot of gold?
Looking serious
Feeling serious
With a determined face that says “I’m too busy for bliss! I got shit to do people!”
.
But when I close my eyes it beckons me,
It say “My love don’t take it all so seriously! Do good, yes. Do your practice, yes. Then play wildly. Dance wildly. Be naked. Be joyful! Laugh until you must roll on the ground. Wear the sparkly shoes!”
.
And I say: “But Dear Bliss, what about the suffering of the world? If I wear sparkly shoes and dance while others suffer, how will I live with the guilt?”
.
And Bliss says: “Your laughter will uplift! Your dancing will bring smiles! Your play will invite others to play with you too! You will decrease suffering of the planet if you commit to your joy.”
.
And I reply: “But will I be skimming the surface? Avoiding pain? Avoiding deep work?”
.
“No, because you ARE deep work. You can never escape the depth. You are laughing FROM DEPTH. You are dancing from a place where you are dancing with your shadows, in your deepest most internal caverns, finding ecstasy even in those most ‘painful’ spots. Your joy and your sorrow are touching! They are holding hands! They are kissing each other! No need to make a big stink about them being so different.”
.
When Bliss beckons, follow it.
When Sorrow beckons, follow it, too!
.
For they are two sides of a coin, flipping over and over again in the air!
.
As one of my favorite writers Georges Bataille once said: “There is ecstasy to be found in what we fear the most.”
.
For the deepest bliss cannot be found without the facing of the fears and the feeling of the sorrow!
.
Wishing you luck in following your fears into the heart of your greatest BLISS and back around again!

Why do I go into nature and unplug from the phone and computer and social media?
.
Why do I journey with plant medicines in a sacred ceremony with intention?
.
Because in that quiet I hear answers.
I hear my Soul speaking to me.
I see the subconscious patterns that sneakily weave themselves through my life, causing me suffering.
I hear the earth speaking to me.
I reunite with my essence.
I come home to what is important to me.
.
I forget about shoulds.
I come home to knowing I am love.
I see where I have “failed.”
I see where I need work.
I see where my demons have sneakily sabotaged my happiness.
I see where I must be courageous and take risks.
I see where I must detach from my outer identity and come home to my inner one.
.
I see beyond the outer play, the dance of external things, sparkly things that catch my attention left and right.
.
I learn to laugh at the moments where I fall for the sparkly exterior of people and situations despite my inner knowing to turn away.
.
There are many paths in to your Truth. To your Heart. Find the ones that work for you and revisit them again and again.
.
Thank you desert for always being my deep teacher. Showing me clarity where I have become cloudy.
.
Thank you plant medicines for being Mama Earth’s voice and heart activating in me.
.
Thank you crows and bees and deer and mice and donkeys that visited us this weekend.
And thanks to the rocks I sat on.
The tears I cried.
The laughs I laughed.
The shooting stars I saw.
The spiritual family whose hands I held.
.
May you have all this and more! I wish it for you.
.
Loving You.

This quote has been echoing through my mind and heart this last week.
.
I didn’t come here to hang.
To become rich and famous. To live a life of surface happiness.
I came to do deep soul evolution.
I came at a time where the earth has not been honored for so long and our priorities don’t include the health of the earth.
.
It’s a weird time! It’s confusing at times. We spend a lot of time staring at screens. Our minds half present, half in a device, barely any time with our feet on the earth...
.
It requires deep work to stay tuned in and not zone out with TV and endless social media.
.
When we stay present it can feel like you’re in a human pressure cooker: present with all your feelings, all your evolution, your family’s issues, your country’s issues, the environmental issues- if you stay awake and present to all of this- it can feel immensely overwhelming!! It’s easier to check out and distract one’s self with to do lists and goals. But simply staying present and taking inspired action from depth, from deep spiritual practice, from increased awareness is where the deep change happens from.
.
It means facing all the tough stuff. And this takes massive courage!
.
I am wishing us the courage to stay present and get really real with what’s happening in the environment right now, and see it is as a reflection of our inner worlds, and make it a part of our daily headspace, creative work, and spiritual work to factor in earth into our daily work.
.
Spiritual work often happens in the crown. But what we need now is to factor in what is under our feet. Our connection to our roots. To the earth.
.
The disconnect between spiritual work and earth work is a problem...
.
Where does the earth meet the spirit?
.
What is between the roots and crown?
.
THE HEART.
.
A fierce compassionate heart is needed now in order to honor the earth and all the beings on it.
.
Wishing you a Fierce Heart full of Compassion, strong roots, and an open crown as we grow and do our work together.
.
Happy Monday. ♥️
