Step into the Wild. I Dare You!

Step into the wild. A place of fierce beauty, whispering mystery, sparking magic. A place to listen and respond to the strange tattoo sounding from your core. Step into the wild and be forever changed…for the better.

The wild is not a physical place although you can certainly discover yourself in untamed spaces. The wild is a state of being in which grace flows through you. Hearing this flow with all your senses gives you limitless opportunities to respond. The tendrils of the wild weave within your responses, and the braid twines deeply into your being. Soon you are no longer separate from the wild.

In the wild you are a master weaver choosing the threads of your tapestry. These are strands of the moment, strands for a season, or strands of lifetime. Listen deeply for those threads sing a fierce song of being — asking you to unfold your truth and live in the unfolding. 

I bet you thought you were living a fairly mundane existence. Maybe you even felt frustration at your life. Perhaps you heard a subtle whisper echoing in your being and you couldn’t quite grasp its meaning. Never fear! Even when you are unaware, the wild’s tendrils tease the edges of your consciousness. 

Know that the wild waits eagerly to be heard. It is outside, inside, between. The twinkling laughter of the wild is present in your being. When you calm and center yourself, makes itself known. It ripples through you. 

How do you find the wild? How do you connect to it? By stepping inside yourself, anchoring to your core, and listening to the fierce beauty that rides on the breeze of your breath.

Are you ready to experience the wild? Sit quietly. Follow your breath as it flows through your body. Notice where there is resistance — how is your mind spinning? Where does your body feel tight? How are your emotions percolating? Allow the breath to gently caress your unevenness. Settle into a place of calm, a state of peace.

When feelings of calm, of peace fill you, invite the wild into your awareness. Don’t worry about understanding what the wild wants to share. Just listen. Feel the wild ignite your core, light your frenzy, and spark a wildfire of knowing in your being. Acclimate to the wild as it whistles through you; soothing the rough edges, making you whole.

Recognize that you do not enter the wild alone. The Spirit, the Great Other, always walks with you. Invite the Magician of All into your moment. Believe in Its presence. The wild hurricane force winds lesson in intensity. Somewhere between it howl and its whisper, the wild speaks in a cadence you understand. Listen to its feral wisdom. Through the combined energy of your wisdom and its, the path into yourself unfolds. 

The wild is a place to gather new beginnings, to let go of the old, the stale, the stagnant. It is a place to trust in the ultimate, ever presence spark of transformation that wants, yearns to ignite a bridge from the here to there. The wild isn’t so much out there but a part of you that yearns to heal your woundedness and be made whole.
