Grounding Yourself in the Divine Feminine

Last night I did a meditation to develop more of a sense of security within myself. It’s part of a class that I’ve been taking the past few months. The teacher guided us through a visualization where we became aware of our connection with the Divine. 


I went off script. My intuition kept pointing me towards the Divine Feminine in the form of an ancient goddess. The one in the picture is Our Lady of Guadalupe, a collage of the Basilica in Mexico City (my hometown). Once upon a time, when I was visiting, it dawned on me that we tend to think of ourselves as powerless - hence, we ask upstairs for miracles. What if we could tap into that directly? 

My intuition followed through with a clear image: imagine a matrushka - the Mother Goddess is on the outside, then your Higher Self, then you. Like cosmic Aura layers around you. These visuals weren’t part of the guided meditation, but they made perfect sense. I loved the metaphor, and funny enough, the past few days I had found myself questioning the concept of a Higher Self. 

>> I believe the Aura reflects what we grow into; this idea is partly based on research that was presented in Dr Richard Gerber’s book, Vibrational Medicine. Maybe these outer layers of Higher Self and Goddess energy speak to our spiritual potential. 

The matrushka clicked for me and it also resonates from a kabbalistic point of view, in terms of the different parts of the Soul; a piece of us is connected to those layers in the matrushka. There are also parallels in how that feminine energy is described in Kabbalistic books and my favorite Green Tara book. 

The things we need to feel secure - love, luck, compassion, peace, strength, joy, etc, cascade down to us, and through us, from those levels. There are variations for each time and culture, but there is a common thread in the concepts. The Divine Feminine is not the outermost circle, but it is easily accessible to us. It taps into the infinite forcefield that lies beyond. She has access to all of it. 

My feeling is that each culture perceives that Divine Feminine energy through its lens. The easiest way to get a sense of that energy is in intuitive meditations!

>> Dr Gerber’s book has tests on animals that show an energetic template on baby salamanders, or salamander eggs, if I remember correctly. That template matches the size the salamander grew into as an adult. That is why I thought of the aura layer as our spiritual potential. It’s a parrallel. Here’s a book review - sorry, I didn’t mean to go from super spiritual to totally material/physical.

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts of kin...

Is Manifesting for Real?

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real - pointing out that we have to challenge our beliefs, and also how we interpret what happens to us. Let's not get stuck in an idea or a worldview.  So today I'm going to take this approach to manifesting - is it for real? I don't think manifesting is for real, nor should it be the main focus in our lives. And honestly, I say this despite evidence to the contrary in my own life, i.e. things that I've manifested.   My issue with manifesting is that it's focused on ourselves, and what we can get in the material world. Personally, I've had good results applying conventional methods to get ahead - with help from my angels and guides. But still, it took drive and ambition to find a good corporate job in London, years ago. That and focusing on my personal competencies, and on the soft skills that were needed. Putting myself out there, networking, knocking on doors. Real world activities. And luck, that is a...

Looking into a Reiki Meta-Analysis (Clinical Study)

A few days ago, I came across a Reiki meta-analysis that was published last year. A meta analysis is a very large study that compiles other studies, in this case randomized controlled trials, and aggregates all of their data. As I have mentioned before, one of the challenging things about holistic studies, and clinical studies in general, is making sure that they accurately measure what they intend to measure. Note: I may come back to this in the future to keep refining information and thoughts, and to simplify it.  In the meantime, my first impressions :  Effects of Reiki therapy on quality of life: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.   Syst Rev. 2025 Mar 27;14(1):72.    The participants in these studies were cancer patients, surgical patients and people with chronic issues (including high stress) who were not hospitalized. There weren't enough people in those study groups to generate reliable statistics for cancer vs surgery, but when all of them...
