Root Chakra – Goddess – Persephone

Innocent, carefree, playful, enthusiastic, naïve, enchanting, trusting, free-spirited, fresh-faced, and radiant. This archetype truly embodies new beginnings. She’s easily swayed and impressionable, full of life and potential, and ready to take risks and experience adventure. Her unspoiled nature lends to a limitless amount of trust towards herself and others. Many of us long for this youthful part of ourselves but also still have wounding from our maiden years, which may manifest in later life as people-pleasing, poor boundaries, and a deep longing for something more, the fairy tale that we were taught growing up. By fully integrating this part of ourselves we mature into a woman of character and strength but also respect and honour the parts of ourselves that still desire a free-spirited approach to life.

Sacral Chakra – Mary Magdalene

Unconditional love, nurturing, caring, protective, maternal instinct, desire to create, glowing, sensual and abundant and bursting with fertility. Her focus has turned from herself to caring for others. She longs to birth her own creations as she enters another layer of maturity and understanding of herself. She must be careful not to get blindsided by caring for others, as too much “giving” can often result in not enough “receiving”. As Mothers, many of us forget to tend to our own needs as we are too busy putting other people's needs first. As she ventures into Motherhood, she sees her own inner child, she reflects on her own upbringing, she may uncover wounds created by her own mother that she does not wish to pass onto her own children. This is the place where our inner child healing often begins, as we learn to see the parts of ourselves that may not have been tended to as a child and we learn to love ourselves through it. As we do this it brings us closer to our connection with the great Mother, Mother Earth. Our Cyclical nature.
