Darkness, the downward spiral, the sense you are drowning fighting to catch your breath before another huge wave of emotion or challenge hits you, this is the descent journey. And when all we are taught is that we are supposed to keep ascending through life, descending feels like flat out failure. But nothing could be further from the truth. If your soul has been presented with this option, it is because you are ready for a different kind of journey.
In this week's Alchemical Illumination Portal, I am covering:
Why the underworld journey has nothing to do with gender, and everything to do with the willingness of your soul
The real reason the feminine, and especially the dark feminine, has been vilified throughout history
Why the force holding you in the unknown will feel, at times, like it's trying to destroy you, and why that's not the whole story
What "love in the dark" actually means, and why it has nothing to do with comfort
For someone who has a history of being scared of the dark, experiencing the psychological descent into the heroine's journey was simply a mirror for the inner terror I have felt when I am lost, alone, and can't explain why something that should be working isn't. Despite my training in clinical psychology, despite years of personal growth work, despite every spiritual practice I'd picked up along the way, none of it prepared me for what happened when the tools that were supposed to be there, simply weren't.
If this episode speaks to you, this is just one realm of a much larger journey, waiting for you inside my free Sacred Alchemy series. Register here: https://michellebersell.com/sacred-alchemy/
