A GUIDE FOR SACRED REFLECTION
sacred rebels,
In a culture that prizes what is next over what is now, taking time to be with ourselves and listen to our inner voice is an act of sacred rebellion.
While July’s energy pushed us towards challenging growth, August offers a counter-balance theme: Release, Reflect, Restore, Replenish. (If you missed that channeled message, click here.)
Have you taken the time to honor all you have been through since the start of the year? To integrate and celebrate? To contemplate, release or let go?
▽
To support you in your reflection, here are the themes of the 2022 Mama Medicine Collective Aura readings so far.
January: Build the Dream
February: Prayer & Abundance
March: Sacred Union
April: Initiation
May: For the Future Generations
June: Vision
July: Growth Through Challenge

In deep reflection,
