Priestess Embodiment: Stepping Aside for the Goddess
Stepping aside so something larger can step in.
What Priestess Embodiment Really Means
As a priestess embodiment it's not about being in your body, it is quite the reverse. Where some therapists encourage us to fully get into our bodies, priestess embodiment is about stepping aside and allowing goddess to take over. Priestess embodiment is an ancient and very sacred practice dating back to the beginnings of time and appearing in one form or another across cultures from Sumerian, Egyptian, Greco-Roman, Shinto, Maori, Celtic, Norse, Incan etc.
Speaking as the Bridge: How Embodiment Ceremony Works
Priestesses will undertake embodiment either as part of a wider ceremony or as a standalone ceremony in itself. We open our intuition and ourselves up to my goddess to enter us and to act as a divine bridge between the earthly and the spiritual realms. Once the goddess has fully embodied the priestess she will speak through them to the attendees withdrawing messages, blessings and guidance.
The Message That Led Me to Death Doula Training
Having both received messages and being the embodying priestess, I can attest to this being an extremely profound experience. The messages I have received reassured me and guided me very clearly to my next life path. Without the definitive messages from goddess I would not have pursued my end of life dealer training with such confidence and certainty that this was an essential part of my life path. The times I have embodied goddess time stood still, I was unaware of the normal sensations we feel like temperature, stiffness, background noise. I could not tell you what words I spoke to the various attendees and only know I was in the state for 90 minutes because I've been told this by others in attendance.
