From Skin to Ovaries

What aspects of me do I have to explore and perceive through different eyes now that I’ve left the Skin and moved into the Ovaries? What out of date beliefs have I now successfully moved up and out of? What faulty belief systems and unhelpful patterns am I now receiving ground support from Mother Earth, to become of aware of and therefore enabled to transform?

Earthbody.co is a website I manage that was created for the very purpose I briefly touch on above. Leaving behind faulty belief systems. This tool, based on the Eyemap Model, created by perceiving the lay of the land (“the dome, Johannesburg, South Africa, to be precise) through different eyes. In fact it was seeing an “eye” on the land that awoke in my friend Salome, creator & founder of Earthbody, the identification of the human body grid that exists on Mother Earth’s body that wonderfully mirrors our own. Think macrocosm and microcosm, and you will understand how we reflect Mother Earth just as she reflects us. We discover ourselves through introspection and perspective changes, healing and transforming ourselves, and the same is done for Mother Earth. Mother Earth in turn, processing her own abilities to hold, nurture, provide for and heal, offers us up ground support for our symbiotic relationship we share together.

Whilst living in the Skin of Mother Earth, my actual location a suburb of Gqeberha formerly known as Port Elizabeth in South Africa, I was not challenged thankfully by any physical manifestations and ailments relating to the skin. The Skin is connected to the Crown Chakra, so a lot of higher mind and less obvious/tangible transformation for me. Instead I was challenged on a mental front, relearning my beliefs about boundaries, values, principles and what I will and won’t allow into my direct environment. Like the skin itself, and living as a skin cell as such, I became acutely aware of myself as being sensitive to my environment – the skin being the largest sensory organ of the whole body. I learnt to support my individuality and feel at home in my own skin. A huge growth leap for me!

Now I’m living in an ovary of the Reproduction System of the body, another suburb in Gqeberha. Living this time as a cell of an ovary, I’m living the essence of the Sacral Chakra. Here I receive ground support to strengthen my beliefs around my inherent ability to feel and to desire. Here I will be gently nudged to develop my emotional maturity along with my inner sensibility. I have the opportunity to become mindful of determining my own desires instead of following someone else’s. I’ll have to stay aware to my propensity for allowing manipulation, being taken advantage of and being under valued by those around me – or else I stand likely to manifest illness and disease due to not elevating my self beliefs around these matters. Illness could manifest in the form of

weakened immune system
weakened lungs
heightened sensitivity and psychic pain
Fatigue or even
Depression

When I was living in the Skin – I was faced with an awareness of clearing out ancestral “sins of the fore fathers” relating to my own sense of home and my male ancestral line of father, grandfather, men in authority etc.

Now in the Ovary – it comes as no surprise that I’m facing any unresolved issues or learnings relating to mother, grandmother and other important women in my life. Both of these ancestral lines and energies tie in with my astrological themes at this time in my life, of standing as my own person, relating to the world and others as my individuated self whilst simultaneously being challenged by fully integrating what home means to me, along with rebuilding my personal foundations that serve me authentically.

So, all in all, with the Earthbody readings as tools, I’m equipped to be able to understand some of the more sub- and unconscious goings on within my psyche that are expressed in the world outside of myself – remember macro and microcosm – so that I can grow consciously within my own self discovery. I have the chance to choose differently because the readings help me know different angles and perspectives of my own behaviour and beliefs. I am supported in putting on rose coloured glasses so that my internal healing and awareness is transformed and then expressed in my outer world as the higher vibe of joy, peace and grace that I seek.

I wish for you a wondrous exploration into yourself, self discovery through earth discovery, through utilising Earthbody.co readings. The abundance and prosperity of our Earth and ourselves is felt when integrating the ground support from Mother Earth.

Much love always

Colette
