What if I told you
that the greatest source of your power is already within you? That the love, strength, and courage you seek are accessible right now, not somewhere in the future or outside of yourself, but right in your very own heart.
Heard that one before? Feeling sceptical?
Today, I want to share another transformative excerpt from Holy Cunt, followed by a practical tool that will help you tap into your own healing power, release the barriers you’ve built around your heart, and begin living from a place of wholeness.
Excerpt from Holy Cunt:
Various lifetimes. The family scars – my mother’s and her mother’s and hers before… and so on in all the women from the beginning of humanity. The deep earthy wisdom they carried, I too carry in my bones. Their pain and rejection are at the forefront. It shows in my lifetime too, as patterns and stories that I’m attracted to like a moth to the light of a bulb. They are all inviting me to heal, surrender, let go of them, with love and compassion.
Yes, I am a different person. It all ends with me. I am no longer afraid. I will listen. I will become a dedicated apprentice of Me. I’ve been procrastinating long enough. I am ready.
In this passage, the heroine reflects on how the patterns and stories of past generations, especially those passed down through women, have shaped her life. These patterns—full of pain, fear, and rejection—are something she has carried in her bones. But now, she is ready to let them go, to heal, and to embrace the true power within her.
This realization is something we can all relate to. We all carry the stories of our ancestors, both in our bodies and minds. And sometimes, those stories hold us back. But it’s never too late to change the narrative. It’s never too late to reclaim your power.
Here’s the Truth:
You are not your stories. You are the relationship you have with them.
Think about that for a moment. Your stories—the narratives you’ve carried for years, the beliefs and experiences that have shaped who you are—are not the essence of who you truly are. They are merely threads that weave your identity. The real power comes from your relationship with these stories.
You have the ability to change how you relate to your past, to the beliefs you hold, and to the roles you’ve been playing. In fact, this is where the magic lies: You can shift your relationship to these stories, giving them new meaning, or, if necessary, releasing them entirely. When you shift your relationship with your stories, you change your entire life. You stop being defined by them, and instead, you start defining yourself.
The Healing Tool: The Power of Releasing Old Stories
The tool I want to share with you today is something that can help you release the old stories and patterns that are no longer serving you. It’s called The Power of Releasing Old Stories, and it’s a practice of consciously letting go of the beliefs, fears, and expectations that you’ve been carrying for far too long.
We all have stories that shape us. They may come from our families, our past experiences, or even the collective energy of our communities. These stories often define who we think we are, how we show up in the world, and what we believe we are capable of.
But here’s the truth: You are the one who has the power to change everything. Today, I want to give you the practical tool of releasing those old stories so that you can step into your true power.
Ritual: Releasing Old Stories:
- Create Sacred Space
Begin by finding a quiet, comfortable place where you can sit undisturbed for a few minutes. Light a candle, put on calming music, or create a ritual that makes you feel grounded. This is your sacred space where you can connect with yourself and your healing. - Reflect on Your Old Stories
Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and ask yourself: What stories have I been carrying that no longer serve me? Write them down, or sit with them in your mind. - Go Deeper
As you reflect on these stories, ask: Where is this held in my body? Be patient, trust your intuition, and allow yourself to feel. What emotions are arising—grief, frustration, or something else? Make space for all of them. Cry or yell if you need to—it’s your sacred healing space. - Feel the Release
Once you’ve identified these stories, imagine releasing them from your body, mind, and soul. Visualize them as old, crusty skin peeling away or heavy suitcases you’ve been carrying for years. Picture yourself setting them down and feeling the lightness that comes with the release. - Replace with Empowering Affirmations
Replace the old story with a new affirmation that empowers you. For example: I am whole, worthy, and capable of achieving anything I desire. I am lovable. From now on, I choose to remember this situation as an act of bravery and strength on my behalf. It helped me develop compassion, trust, and love. And I’m grateful. - Surrender and Let Go
As you finish, take a moment to surrender to the process. Trust that the release is happening, and allow yourself to move forward without the burden of old stories. Know that you are free to rewrite your narrative from a place of empowerment. - Celebrate Your New Story
After completing the practice, celebrate the new story you’re creating. You are no longer defined by the past. You are free to create your own future, rooted in the truth of who you really are.
Why This Tool Works:
- This practice of releasing old stories is incredibly powerful because it taps into the core of who we are. When we let go of the past and the stories that no longer serve us, we create space for something new. This new space allows us to step into our power, to create a new narrative, and to become the person we’ve always known we could be.
- When we release old stories, we stop living in the shadows of fear, limitation, and self-doubt. We start living from a place of strength, clarity, and self-love. We realize that we are the authors of our own lives, and we have the power to create a story that empowers us.
