How your Sacred Wound can blind you to your gifts
As I weave Mythical Soul readings (from the golden strands of Kabbalah, astrology, mythical archetypes and shamanic wisdom), I’m seeing something that I’ve seen over the years in so many students… but now, writ large and clearer than ever before.
The Sacred Wound, unhealed and unalchemised, can create an immense blockage to a person knowing their gifts and walking their soul path - or even consciously setting foot on it, it can create a belief that they’re entirely different to who they really are.
The following is an excerpt of someone’s Sacred Wound from their reading… this person has deep spiritual gifts and is here to guide others on their soul paths, and yet it’s taken a decade of work for them to see that and begin to actualise it.
“…this indicates a wound related to communication and self-expression. Early in life, you may have felt that your voice was not valued or that your thoughts were dismissed, leading to a sense of inadequacy. This wound is a central theme in your journey, one that requires healing through the reclamation of your voice and the assertion of your thoughts. As you heal this wound, you can become a powerful communicator, using your words to heal and inspire others...”
Our Chiron astrological placement can be a powerful illumination of our Sacred Wound, if you’d like to discover yours, I’ve done a podcast episode in which I describe how you can do so, I’ll link that below.
You can also join us for the next ceremony in Academy of the Soul, UNIO, in which we’ll be beginning the mythical quest of Humble: The power of humility on our soul path.
Humility might seem a counterintuitive notion when it comes to healing our wounds of inadequacy, self-worth and struggle, and yet, our wounds can show up in two ways:
- Hiding: a deflation of our soul’s expression
- Proving: an inflation of our soul’s expression
(Most of us tend one way or the other but will also dance between them at times too.)
And humility lies beyond either.
Of course, it’s not quite so easy as simply deciding to be humble, it can easily become a way of controlling ourselves to be “good”, shaming ourselves or others for not being saintly and humble enough, and with beautiful irony, it can be yet another mask we wear to hide or prove (which is OK, almost all of us will do this at some point on our path).
Humility is a devotion, an orientation, a healing, letting go of the mask so that we might remove the blindfold, it is a quest back home.
If you’re feeling called to journey with the medicine of Humble, it’s not too late to join us for this month’s quest! (September ‘24)
All my love and blessings as you pick up the torch and journey into your Sacred Wound, however you do.
