Embodied Truth: 4 Part Women's Group Series

a free introduction to embodying the archetypes and connecting with the rhythm of the moon

The female body is deeply connected to the rhythms of nature and her unique cycles. What would your life look, feel, and be like if you understood and honored your body and it’s feminine rhythms more fully? .

As a path of remembering, Embodied Truth invites your whole being, all of its parts, and those parts yet to be discovered, with presence and love. It is important as a woman living in today's world to meet ourselves with as much presence and love that we would desire from our closest lover. It reminds us, that we alone, are our life partner, and teach us to greet, meet, and welcome the light & dark, of our experience to embrace and express more of our authentic selves. While cultivating a deep reverence and respect for our flowing rhythmical feminine, we are also guided towards cultivating our deep inner masculine to hold our selves and our processes as sacred and true.

Honoring your body and womb, and seeing her wonder, allows you to truly inhabit and own our life through connecting with your instrument and vessel as sacred

Join Lara Barber for a FREE ONLINE WOMEN"S GROUP in reclaiming your embodied truth through owning your moon cycle, learning about each phase of your monthly cycle, listening to your unique body, and honoring the gift of each phase. No longer a nuisance or a burden, our cycle can become a gift towards more wholeness, embodiment, and true alignment. We can then begin to craft our life in accordance with this perfect rhythm and cultivate more balance and health in ourselves and the world.

Living in your embodied truth requires listening & bringing awareness to the wisdom of your body while also honoring where you are at with loving care.

Being a genuine gift and offering to women everywhere, this 4 part women's series will break down the 4 phases of our menstrual flow and the archetype and energetic imprint associated with each phase. When these phases are distinguished, recognized, and honored, we as women are able to step into a whole new level of power by harnessing our creative sexual energy.

OWNING MY PROJECTIONS >>>

In my relationships, when I find that I am triggered or activated, or anytime I find a strong attraction or repulsion with another, there is a high chance that I am in projection. How often do I point the finger outside of myself and blame another for being the source of my BLISS or PAIN?

These are the times that I work with using the gift and mirror of relating as an opportunity to bring it back to myself. From my experience, real truth cannot be revealed or spoken without first taking the time to mine the depths of our projections in relationships. How do I do this as a practice and a way of life?

1. When I notice I am in a strong reaction I pause and create space
2. I bring in my conscious masculine presence to offer his presence to notice what is here.
3. Next, I journal, write, and feel about the content and emotions of my experience.
4. Then, I can take a bigger step back and look at the essence of what I am repulsed by or attracted to in the situation or the other.
5. Inviting those qualities to sit in my awareness I then ask myself the questions: “what are these qualities telling me about myself?” And “how are these qualities living inside of me?”
6. Finally, I bring in the loving presence of my divine feminine to bring her nourishing love, acceptance, and softness to this area of myself.
7. After taking some time to invite the projections to land inside of myself, I close with a short prayer of gratitude for the gift of relationship.

His Presence: The End of Abandonment

HIS LOVE/MY LOVE~ THE END OF ABANDONMENT ~ DISCOVERING MY INNER UNION:

So much has been moving through me since I have made the conscious decision to step forward on the path of sacred sexuality.  I have been practicing the Temple Body Meditation regularly and I have experienced a growing deep love affair with myself and my body. A few days ago I combined the love letter with the temple practice while I touched, caressed, and with my eyes open seeing my body, seeing my radiant form, I spoke sweetly to all parts of my physical being ... "I am sorry that I have judged your hair, I am sorry that I have not trusted you yoni, I love your life giving breasts, I love your skin, '' and on and on ...

As I have been creating the space to consciously love my self and my physical form, so many emotions have arrises. In tandem with the Temple Body Practice, I can sense my deepening embodiment of my own inner masculine.  It is like, as I grow in presence and reverence for myself, and as my inner masculine shines his love into my body, I am growing in my sense of worthiness to feel. I have been allowing myself the space and capacity to experience so much aliveness and joy along with lots of deep deep sorrow and pain.

For a back story, it may be helpful to know that my birth father left when I was born. We have been in the process of reuniting over the past 3 years and many layers of challenge has been alive in my life and in my marriage. Mainly, and most vulnerably, I will state, that I have felt unworthy of HIS love, for many reasons that seem valid and real.

From this practice of self love, I can feel myself beginning to crack wide open as I surrender to the path of awakening. My practice of self love is seeding a unique experience of my own inner masculine growing and the end of abandoning my self. I am growing in my commitment to feeling the pain and the joy rather than leaving and not staying with myself.

Embodied Truth Feminine Awakening Practice # 1
Cultivating Embodied Radical Self Love Practice: 
own your inner masculine by showering your feminine embodiment with your presence and love

1. create sacred space 
2. bring awareness and attention to the mind 
3. drop down deeper into the heart
4. drop down deeper into the belly 
5. drop down deeper into your womb
6. drop down deeper into the earth's support
7. drop down deeper into the core of the earth 
8. feel the pulsating earth vibration under your seat
9. bring your awareness back up through the earth into your womb, up to the belly, up to the heart, through the mind, up out the crown of the head, extending to the stars above 

10. Take a moment to feel your masculine presence as an expression of divine love. Feel this embrace of yourself being with the vertical direction of the divine masculine presence. 

11. Take a few moments in stillness and allow your whole being to become empty. 

12. Open your eyes and begin to look at your radiant beautiful body.  

13. Bring your hands to rest on your heart chakra and infuse your palms with as much love and presence as possible. 

14. Begin to touch and caress your skin. As you reach different body parts, allow your words to flow from your heart through your mouth. 

15. Be honest and vulnerable with yourself as you express your love for your physical form. Share statements that feel like your embodied truth. "I love you nails, I am sorry I have judged you thighs" etc. Imagine you are reading a love poem to your body as you touch and love yourself as fully as possible. 

16. When you are complete, find your own sacred way to complete. Some ideas could include journaling, smudging yourself with sage, taking a few moments of silence, or bowing to yourself. 


~~~~~~~

Now, as I consciously create the space to honor and love my self I find myself on my knees at the temple of the beloved within.

Ultimately, facing with brutal honesty, the parts of me that I have been avoiding and resisting for years, is allowing for a deep surrender to happen in my heart and life. With my growing embodiment of my inner union I will no longer abandon myself. I will meet all parts of my process with love and presence.

My invitation is for you to love yourself with as much radical self acceptance as possible and to see where this brings you in your life and relationship. My hope and intention is that you can melt into a deeper trust of your Embodied Truth and right alignment in all ways.

Please share your experience and journey with me by sending me a message and joining the Women Tribe and Community at Embodied Truth:

With love,
Lara
