Holding Oneself in Stability.
Letter XV | Summer MMXXVI | words: Sarah Woods
The truth of an Iberian Queen inspired this letter. From the pure love of Sacred Sierra, to the potency of le massif des Albères, the fortress of your being requires you to hold yourself in stability. Much like a castle, housing the Queen that you be, so she can reign.
Perhaps one of the greatest threats to a positive future, is the individual who doesn’t remember how to hold themselves in the safety of their own being. When this is the case, the tendency is to engage in unhealthy dependency, leading to instability within self, relinquishing one’s power and repeating the old. The result, your personal issues lead rather than heart.
Leading during these times is about plugging into one’s own power source, their heart. And, holding yourself in stability so you have discernment, boundaries and focus to materialize that which is imbedded within you. Your ability to return to alignment, physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally, is how your build your unique framework.
Creation must not be overcomplicated. It’s holding yourself in the framework, that allows the seeds within to blossom.
You, just being you.
Leading during these times is about plugging into one’s own power source, their heart. And, holding yourself in stability so you have discernment, boundaries and focus to materialize that which is imbedded within you.
The struggle often transpires when the leader is still hooked into old systems and structures. What is actually natural, feels foreign until you’ve exited the old. This shows up as negative patterns and cycles that run internally as your foundation for creation.
The process for exiting those patterns and cycles happens when you align with pure love. Within your heart, or in proximity to the embodiment of pure love, whether that be a person, nature or, the cosmos. So, while the heart assists in your frequency of change, you, the human, are called on, to hold yourself in stability so you can take action.
A great call to no longer out-source one’s safety, choice or life to other.
Your framework allows your voice to speak. It enables you to say no, when you mean no. And, say yes, when you mean yes. Harnessing the courage to go against the status-quo, not because of belief, but because of an innate action within you that knows your next choice. The next choice that often doesn’t look like choices of the so-called norm. (Of course they don’t, you’re here to inherently build and create something new.) This requires one to hold the container for their own success, directed from their inner manual, not the external world.

The initiation is fierce, because no one can do this for you. In some cases, it may feel like you’re abandoning everything you know, to choose the healthy self. Of course, you’re abandoning everything you know, the negative patterns and cycles have had a massive grip on the collective for eons. Now is the invitation to return to heart, where they don’t exist, and hold yourself in stability so the new structures and systems can emerge.
The result is one’s ability to act with the movement of your being. This is what some might call, go with the flow. It’s not a careless act of giving oneself away. It’s precision movement as the oneness you be. It’s your ability to hold yourself in healthy control of your body, mind and emotions, that gives the heart a vessel for your creations to unfold.

No longer leaning, depending or expecting help or assistance from addictions or crutches, it is almost as if there comes a point when nature says, it is time to grow up. These moments can often feel unbearable, intense and sometimes unfair. That’s just the old world, hooking into you, enforcing an illusion of manipulation and control.
Soft as water, fierce as truth, you are so much stronger.
And so, with great intensity, you’re commanding a return home. Unhooking from the blanket of fear breathing down your neck, your heart reminds you to settle into the ocean within. Aligning with the system of the sea as your foundation of creation. Your body as the earth, you take a deep sigh.
Unplugging from that which is haunting you, you abandon the untruths of the old and remember who you really are. Holding yourself in the stability of your truth, you make a new choice.

This is an initiation for the exquisitely sensitive. For the new leaders building, creating and redesigning the new. With the embodied knowing that their ability to hold themselves in the safety of their own being, grants them the mastery to choose, and to choose again, even in the greatest moments of chaos.
avec amour, Sarah
