You know the drill at a usual wedding. There’s an aisle down the middle, and people seated on either side.
I expected my marriage ceremony would be the same. That is until my now husband, Sacha, said to me, “I want to get married in a circle.”
Having never seen this before, I immediately thought it was a terrible idea, and told him so. “No, we can’t get married in a circle.”
I turned to my friend Christina, who was helping us design the ceremony, “It’s not going to work, right, Christina?”
But I didn’t get the confirmation I was looking for. “Actually, I got married in a circle,” she said, pulling up a video to prove it.
“The reason I want to get married in a circle of our friends, is the symbolism,” explained Sacha.
“The circle is a sacred container, in which every ceremony has been set, since the beginning of time. In tribal life, to be held in the center of a circle when going through a rite of passage meant to be held, supported and witnessed by all. The circle is the most powerful shape for an energetic container. There are no corners. There’s a flow.”
Eventually surrendered to this vision, and I’m so glad I did!
The experience of being wed in the center of a circle of friends, feeling backed up in every direction, was extremely powerful.
Why I share this with you is that if you are looking to be more connected with your animal body, who I considered your inner wife, then you may want to position yourself in a circle. If you want greater harmony and unity with your female creature, and the side-effects of peace with food, pleasurable weight loss and unshakeable body confidence, then being in a circle is the place to be.
But not just any circle… I’m talking about a circle that will steer you away from shaming and punishing yourself, and towards the recognition of the wisdom within you.
For example, a circle like Pleasure Circle.
Pleasure Circle is my monthly group coaching program. It happens by phone so you can call in from anywhere in the world, and you can get the recording and download the monthly action sheet if you can’t make it live. I receive the most incredible feedback about this program, and it’s a way to get the same level of laser coaching that my VIP clients receive, in a supportive virtual circle of women, at a fraction of the cost.
It’s the end of January, and before February kicks in, this is a wonderful time to enlist more support for yourself. I’d love to be part of your support circle, along with the other wonderful women in this group.
