Reflections from Embodying the Queen Within.
On the afternoon of the 21st of April, I had packed the car full of Queen paraphernalia for the weekend ahead.
It was the first day of my bleed and I knew I needed to first take care of my own inner Queen.
After a sauna and lomi lomi massage I grabbed my favourite Indian and put myself to bed early.
The morning flew in and before I knew it, the Queens were arriving at the Woom Room, Second Story Studios. One Queen even had a suitcase, she'd just flown in from Sydney!
Together, we were nine, and together, we opened the portal of two days of deep self development work.
Sitting in circle we drank our first cups of tea (there would be many), and shared our names and intentions.
Then moved into the first module of the weekend:
Sisterhood.
When planning Embodying the Queen Within, I felt that there are aspects within each of us that must be addressed, elevated, and healed in order to ascend to our inner throne.
Having a deep sense of love, safety, and belonging in sisterhood is one of those essential elements.
Moving through the sisterhood practices, I witnessed a group of strangers quickly softened into the open hearted vulnerability of true sisterhood.
This is not an easy task.
Many of us have been wounded by women. Therefore to truly trust, we must be vulnerable enough to share our needs.
And find out if our sisters can meet them for us as we do for them.
For the second module we moved into an inner essential aspect of a Queen.
The capacity to take leadership over one's emotions.
"Chloe's teaching, that we are the still point in a tornado of emotions, was so illuminating to me. Like I don't have to be controlled by my big emotions because I am not them." Karmen
The topic of emotional mastery is vast and delicate.
As I navigated the Queens through a whole new way of relating to their emotions, they learnt to embody them, express them, acknowledge them, accept them and digest them.
We approached commonly overwhelming or intense emotions like anger, fear and grief slowly so that their nervous systems could build up resilience and tolerance to these emotions so often repressed by society.
Neo tantra has a reputation for taking people into the intensities of emotions quickly which in my experience can lead to hyperarousal that doesn't actually help to integrate beyond e.g A weekend immersion.
I felt so proud to witness, and hear the closing circle reflection of how each Queen came to the edges of their own challenging emotions and met them with love and acceptance.
With a busy day one complete I sent the Queens home encouraging them to sleep early, track their dreams and contain their energy for themselves.
Day two
The purpose of day one was to drop everyone in, in a way that is soft and slow, yet vulnerable and open, so that come day two they are ready to ROCK.
When the Queens arrived on Sunday morning I knew Saturday had been a success, there was laughter, excitement, tales of wild and telling dreams.
Their energy had opened and even their clothing had become more radiant, expressive and royal.
That morning we dove straight into the deep end: Body Love.
I cannot reveal what happens inside the body love ritual, mystery is necessary in order to be as transformational as it is.
All I will share is: clothes are optional, each queen has their own position in front of a mirror, and a journey into repatterning consciousness takes place.
This is the most potent ritual of the weekend and it was so profoundly beautiful to witness the tears, the opening and the beams of love during and after.
After a big break to integrate this potent ritual we returned to experience some group coaching.
Worthiness and Deservingness
Witnessing someone else going through a healing process is one of the most profoundly healing experiences one can have.
This is what we journeyed as the Queens moved into the Worthiness and Deservingness module.
Three Queens bravely volunteered to share their deepest longings with the group, the ways in which they either felt unworthy or undeserving of having these desires.
From here I moved the Queens through a process of meeting their inner resistance, acknowledging it, loving it, letting it go…
A finally finding their own way of continuing the journey towards their desire.
In our sharing afterwards each Queen who witnessed shared how profound it was for them to witness someone else's process.
From inner child healing, inner critic evolution to entity removal, every one of them, and myself could see ourselves in the process - and thus we collectively healed.
Inaguration of the Queens
Now thoroughly fatigued from Inner-Queen work we took a much needed yin break of soothing self-pleasure touch, and then of course: a cuddle puddle.
Aka all laying together for a big cuddle party.
The love eminating from within the cuddle, the feeling of deep belly breaths against each others back and then deep belly laughter laughter...
I knew we were close to the perfect ending.
To finish up - of course - we had to inaugurate the Queens.
So after the final sharing of each Queens individual experience of the weekend, after which they received reflections from the sister-Queens…
It was time for a final crowning ceremony, another ritual I cannot tell you about ;)
But I can tell you that crowned, we came together in dance and celebration.
Hearts open.
Minds clear.
Sisterhoods solidified.
Feeling worthy and deserving.
Loving the divinity of the body.
All of these brave babes,
Had truly,
Embodied the Queen Within.
