What is the sacred wild self? Let’s first explore what it means to be sacred.

When something is sacred it is from the divine and worthy of veneration. The path to rediscovering our sacred selves has to do with forging a deep connection with creator/source/the divine. Through this connection to source we walk taller, speak with integrity and bravery, and trust in the process of all that we create. Through this process we develop a strong self-esteem, and realize our worth. From this knowledge we bring forth the highest and best to the world.

What do I mean by wild? What does the word “wild” conjure in your mind? Some may associate the term with having no direction, being out of control, or complete freedom. For me, the term means being free of domestication. In the book “The Four Agreements” Don Miguel Ruiz describes domestication as the indoctrination into the word of other people’ beliefs. He goes on to say that “a wild man or woman knows who they are and is too busy being their true self to pay attention to the limiting beliefs of the  world around them.” This is what I mean by wild. If you want to run, you run. If you want to laugh, you laugh. If you want to wear a bright outfit with bells and ribbons, you wear that because you are not controlled by the ideas of propriety others hold. You are guided by your heart, and your natural intuition.

When we rediscover our sacred wild selves we embrace the fullness of who we are. We are proud because we know we are worthy of love and all things good. We step into our integrity and no other person can sway us from who we know ourselves to be. We honor the divine within ourselves and others. We express ourselves with confidence and passion. We become strong, beautiful, wise, and empowered. As we step more fully into the identity of our sacred wild selves we raise our vibration, and the vibration of the world.

Sacred Wild Blessings,
