(00:00) so I designed my first live Retreat audacious embodiment as a feminine Reclamation boot camp and the ultimate pattern disrupt of all of the ways we close down shut off and choose survival unto death instead of Vitality in our lives as women so I called in an All-Star cast to take the stage and expand the permission field of what we get to be as women who we are allowed to be and to guide you through Shadow work with yours truly Osho Dynamic meditation family constellation ancestral song Hair whips and sensual hip grinding routines

(04:10) [Music] path I’m Dr Kelly Brogan you may know me as a New York Times best-selling author of a book with an exploding pill on the cover Renegade psychiatrist pul dancer or honorary member of the disinformation Dozen what can I say I’m a born provocator door I’ve spent most of my recent life exposing deceptions connecting dots and discovering the secret places my inner victim is still waiting to be liberated and now I feel called to help you reclaim all of your parts your health your sexuality your power and your expression so that you
(04:48) can finally truly own yourself I want to ignite in you that inner knowing and the pulsing Vitality that lives beneath your disempowerment disconnection and resentment so that you can audaciously courageously and playfully alchemize your struggle into the specific pleasure of who you are this is Reclamation radio a soulfire production hello and welcome back to Reclamation radio I am Dr Kelly Brogan and today I want to talk about feminine Homecoming on the collective level and I want to look at dimensions of feminine
(05:31) Reclamation that involve our relationship to life-giving forces and our Collective relationship to these aspects of existence my sense is that the pendulum is arriving at a resting place that we are maturing psychos spiritually as a collective and we are moving through a kind of adolescence and perhaps completing a rebellion of sorts so in women are incarnated what some refer to as the disturbing mysteries of Nature and we see this microcosmically as mothers raise sons that a man can only escape the grasp of his consuming mother if he rejects her
(06:23) and runs a million miles in the opposite direction so this Escape allows him to find himself allows him to gain self-awareness and Mastery over his surroundings and this maturational stage of the masculine beyond the consuming feminine or the imagined to be consuming feminine this stage of defiance establishes self-sufficiency and often involves devaluing the feminine herself it’s a necessary stage so if we know that this happens on the interpersonal familial level then we also can see it holif fractally on the
(07:08) collective level that there is a maturation of the masculine and feminine almost in a pendulum like way that will ultimately hopefully rest in a place of true complimentarity where this imagined Zero Sum game is no longer necessary where the war is over so if we look at you know what we know to be of history and we look at this patriarchal monotheistic moment we find ourselves perhaps exiting we can see that the Strategic emancipation from and devaluation of the feminine may have taken the form of Commerce militarism politics
(08:01) technology and the creation of a social stratification system that renders a woman and her gifts largely irrelevant right that she doesn’t have a role in this new system and in this new system monotheistic patriarchal religions are committed to objectifying sexuality and specifically a woman’s sensuality sexuality and erotica to debase and exploit that dimension of the feminine so that we no longer see a woman as infused with Heroes right we see sexuality as separate from a woman’s body and it’s very easy to commandeer and control
(08:51) these elements when they are fragmented and projected So In This Very necessary stage in our Collective Evolution we are now being presented I believe an opportunity for a feminine homecoming as this expression of the defiant masculine if you will has come to a full maturation we have an opportunity for the arrival of a feminine complimentarity to match what has been established and my sense is that the invitation in this homecoming is around choosing life and as I consider it there are a couple of different dimensions
(09:38) where we can welcome home as women feminine life force back into our bodies back into our wombs and this is on the personal level how we can contribute to this Collective Homecoming in each of these different categories I’m going to share there is a hopeless victim story that has been spun that can be alchemized and we have an opportunity to vivify that which has been totally denatured and objectified and stripped of Life Force so these forces want to find a home in my opinion in a woman’s pulsing vibrating body so let’s see
(10:26) here’s what I got on my list the first one is is nature right so if we look at the Zeitgeist you’re going to see that there is a and perhaps it’s even aenda driven who knows but that there is a Resurgence of interest in these different dimensions and it’s happening right now it’s happening in conversations it’s happening in pedagogical Realms it’s happening on social media there is a burgeoning swell of invitation that says look at this reconsider this take this back in and my sense is that as women we have a
(11:03) particular responsibility to develop intimate relationships with each of these different feminine forces right so the most obvious one is the natural world so the victim story whether it comes to you know climate change agendas and hoaxes or whether it’s allopathic brainwashing the victim story is you know it’s too late you know the Earth is damaged there’s nothing we can do this is all quantifiable and then on the body in the Nature body we have the victim story that says you know the nature in me is damaged Beyond repair is broken
(11:39) Beyond repair that’s what most of the patients I ever worked with in practice came to me declaring right so in the invitation to bring nature home we have so many witches on the scene we have so many homesteaders coming to inspire us around what it is to develop a relationship with your little patch of Nature and to really experience intimacy with the natural world and coming into harmony we have natural medicine we have Master plants right and the again CIA initiated insurgence of psychedelics right nonetheless if you
(12:23) look at it all all all all as being by Design you can appreciate that there is is you know there is an unfoldment that is perfect it’s totally perfect and we have this opportunity to rather than rush to fix you know what’s wrong with nature on the outside and nature on the inside to Simply feel the grief of our misunderstanding or our incomplete understanding and to alchemize you know those victim stories okay so next we have emotion right so perhaps the defining feminine Essence is the energy that moves through
(13:06) the vessel and is felt by the body we have emotions so the victim story around emotions of course is my specialization as a psychiatrist is that emotions are a pathology tears are a symptom criteria for you know the diagnosis of major depressive disorder you have a disorder if what it is that you’re feeling is unwanted by your yourself or others around you we also have this you know you are responsible for how I feel dimension of our microaggression oriented culture that says you know my feelings are somebody else’s
(13:47) responsibility my experience is somebody else’s responsibility you owe me this right so the bubbling to the surface that I perceive around me even in my children’s generation you know I witness tweens and teens talking about emotional intelligence and emotional responsibility and really honoring emotions and what it is to take time to feel in a way that would have been an aema to me at that age so this Zeitgeist around emotional Mastery and literacy and the orientation towards emotions as very meaningful necessary energies that
(14:27) help us to orient and navigate but that should not be given the wheel of our car is something that I see even in pop psychology now and the homecoming that each and every woman has the opportunity to experience around her emotional life requires that that strong masculine container already be developed so that inside of us we have the capacity to hold space for our emotional energies and to develop intimacy to to prioritize this self-relating because what happens when we navigate from that inner hierarchy is
(15:07) that we know exactly what to do and when to do it our intuition comes back online and that is a force to be reckoned with so next is money money so most of us speaking in polarity terms agree that money is a feminine energy and there are so many victim stories around money I can’t make more because I have to stay at this job because and we develop what you know the attendings on the ward in the hospitals that I worked at would you know talk about in certain patient categories as being you don’t leave me energy right we develop this
(15:47) dysfunctional codependent Lust For and rejection of the energy of money you know but what if as one of my favorite teachers kha oranc says money is just a permission slip to live right because we have commodified nature in the way that we have because you actually cannot occupy any space on this plane unless you are paying to do so we are in this moment where money is synonymous with the right to exist with the right to live and so what if you not only owned that reality accepted that momentary reality and played the game so that you
(16:36) could welcome home as much of that energy that you could give yourself as much permission as possible that you could invite into your womb space you could allow your magnetic energy to draw into you as much of that energy as humanly possible that feels good to me it feels good to me that every single woman would be doing that and we also know that this right to live that this permission to exist is the conduit to our relationship to our own havingness capacity because we can learn pretty quickly how much of what we say we want we can actually have
(17:25) and hold through the play of money right if told you that you had to spend $150 million every month on yourself you might gasp with the oppression of that right as much as if I told you you know you had to live on $15 a month right so we begin to learn what our spectrum is for you know scarcity and abundance and how it is that we can grow that capacity through our imagination through our Creative Energy and through our capacity to dream up you know scenarios that allow us to play in this field in ways that are distinctly
(18:09) feminine so I didn’t always authentically appreciate the power of the natural world and maybe this is because I was heavily brainwashed by Western medicine and was in my armored defensive structure as a follow the rules kind of gal it absolutely was not intuitive for me to look to plants or flow hours for actual literal healing potential it’s just not what I was taught so as I’ve been on this path of embodiment reconnecting with myself and nature I have found sacred rituals and brands that bring beautiful healing
(18:43) practices into my life and the lives of my daughters my favorite brand Lotus way has the best quiz for you to really understand which flowers and elixir are the most supportive for you if you head to the show notes you will find a link to a quiz that you can use to choose your most powerful Elixir based on what is attractive to you it’s very cool so don’t forget to use my code Kelly 15 for 15% off and in case you’re curious I’m a Divine truth and Luscious embodiment gal so have fun so next is sexuality so the
(19:25) externalization of sexuality the segregation of spirituality and sexuality I explore in a podcast called The Sacred prostitute here that you can check out and it is this idea of sexuality as separate from the woman that allows for us to perceive women as using their sexuality to get things versus not instead of this idea that a woman’s EOS is always running through her system her system is actually designed to run that life force at all times and how she integrates that how she wields that how she expresses that
(20:08) and explores that is what makes her unique as a snowflake and also allows her to belong to something bigger than herself through her sensuality and through her sexuality so the victim stories around sexuality Are Legion right when sexuality is objectified on the outside we can be victimized as women by other women who identify with the or the Madonna right so I’ve been on both sides of this dialectic that when you are in the Madonna virtuousness right so when you have secreted your sexuality then you will feel victimized by women who are you
(20:57) know libidinally expressed and silly ious and you know too much cleavage too much lipstick too you know short skirt kind of a thing just as much as when you are in the horror archetype right when you are that woman you know the pole dancer or whatever you may experience feeling victimized by the woman who is virtuously imploring that you put it away in the bedroom right so in my journey I experienced the most vital of all from the madonas in my midst as I began to play with that which I imagined would destroy me and to go on this
(21:37) journey into my own you know Wilderness demonstrating my Sexual Energy and sensuality on the world stage right so it was the madas who were hunting me down for sure and we also have this victim story that women are powerless they are vulnerable that men are predators and the Warfare that subjugates our Sexual Energy and renders impossible the free energy technology that is available through a properly polarized man woman Dynamic is really one of the most important areas I think to explore because in the Taboo in the
(22:20) don’t go there dimensions of our sensuality and sexuality is a tremendous resource is our capture life force energy our creativity and that’s why I have found you know a BDSM and conscious Kink I’ve done episodes on this called Tantra boundaries and Sexual Healing with Lori henders and a couple of episodes with Omani I did a solo called five ways that BDSM can heal your life I have found that there is an opportunity to come into consensual domination which requires that we have a very intimate awareness of what it is
(23:02) that we want where it is that we derive pleasure and that we have reclaimed as many bits and pieces of our projected self so that we can show up whole to this organized complimentarity and consciously and intentionally transmute that which would cost us in the shame realm otherwise and when we’ve only known non-consensual domination this is a real plot twist this is a an opportunity to spiritualize sexuality and we have an opportunity to sexualize spirituality and to bring home to ourselves all of the dimensions of our
(23:49) erotic selves our erotic life that we otherwise would remain divorced from so next is water right so perhaps the quintessential feminine element we have a lot of victim stories around water as a so-called resource right that there’s scarcity around water that it’s either dirty or clean you know that it’s it’s simply about the contaminants that we can assess this dead fluid you know that is water well there are many colleagues that I have and women on the scene like V Austin and Isabelle friend who are speaking to the consciousness of water
(24:33) to water as a living being that we are here to Steward who are speaking to you know my friend and spirit guide I’ll say Tom Cowen has written an entire book on the subject this idea that water holds information and that the water inside of us and the water around us is the primary foundation for all of the capacity for life force that is available so in this realm of reclamation what we do to water we do to ourselves how we interact with water informs how we are energetically experiencing ourselves that you can hold
(25:20) a glass of water for two minutes and pray into it before drinking it and that that water will then become a living prayer that speaks speaks to your body this is not also thanks to people like Gerald Pollock this is not the realm of you know new age you know goblook this is something that is being validated and verified even in Grassroots research so there is an extraordinary Reclamation here that I see happening right before my eyes so lastly is birth so I’ve recorded a podcast with Yolanda Norris Clark that will deliver
(26:02) no pun intended this truth as I see it in Epic Proportions because this subject is perhaps the subject I feel most passionately about when it comes to Reclamation and I used to focus on reclaiming birth from the hospital system and because of her work and my girlfriend AA quena I now focus on the Reclamation from a utilitarian survivalist birth into a blissful orgasmic birth space not that I’ve experienced that firsthand however I know it to be possible now and didn’t then and that’s part of why I’m so passionate about how essential it is
(26:46) that we know what is possible so that we can Orient our yes and our no accordingly but of course there are so many victim stories about birth I mean how many women have we heard say you know birth is hard I can’t have a natural birth because of the size of my baby or you know whatever metrics that birth is just about having a healthy baby it has nothing to do with your experience why are you being selfish and that you know fear is the driving decision maker right when it comes to the birth experience the way in which we
(27:21) can alchemize the opportunity that we have to invite into our bodies the experience of child birth is dimensionally holif fractally metaphorically the Reclamation of life force it is choosing life and not just because a baby is born but because walking into the fire of your own actualization as a woman crossing the threshold from Maiden to Mother perhaps again and again and again is orienting yourself towards expansion and choosing not to contct into the familiar dimensions of fear so as we say yes to the homecoming
(28:10) of these feminine vectors of Life Force energy as we come into harmonious and pleasurable relationship to each of these different elements as we explore collectively and individually what this next maturational Sovereign stage of feminine actualization is that only could exist because of the ways that the pendulum has swung back and forth Through the Ages there are a couple of tips that I would give you so that you can Orient towards the opportunities the first is something I spoke a lot about during Audi embodiment the replays are
(28:57) available PS which is what I have learned through family constellation and one of the presenters there Amar Lee which is taking your mother okay so what the does that mean taking your mother taking your mother means simultaneously that you experience gratitude for the fact that she gave you life she was this vessel I was just speaking of for your life to exist and also what it is to take her as she is and to understand why she needed to be exactly who she is and who she was in order for you to have the opportunities
(29:39) to choose and claim your life force in the ways that you do the next is to recognize that complaint is rejecting life one of the major transitions that I’ve made in my lifescape is towards celebrating and bragging and really predicating my female relationships on that practice because like so many of us I grew up in a family where commiseration connection was the dominant currency of intimacy and whether you’re complaining about your health issues or some horrible thing that happened to you if you don’t have those Tales to tell then
(30:24) what is there to talk about right and you become disoriented with regard to your identity so understanding that celebrating appreciation gratitude and Mining adversity for the meaning you know my last book on yourself I wrote that suffering ends where meaning begins this is part of orienting towards the choice to live rather than the withering into death and surviving until you know that occurs in family consolation there is an orientation of each representative towards life or towards death it’s really that simple so
(31:06) you’re compensating for past issues you know in your elders and ancestors that have been as of yet unresolved and that you seem to be subconsciously charged with minimizing or mitigating right so somebody has you know experienced Financial Devastation or romantic catastrophe and in order to not feel what it is is that they struggled with you have these patterns and habits that keep you stuck and suffering and you are compensating for these past experiences you have loyalties to members of your family line that can be
(31:45) consciously reorganized and constellated so that you can turn towards your own future and choose to walk your story from the belonging that is conferred when you stand in your shoes for yourself okay and lastly is to come into a feminine practice and comportment towards life which I’ve heard described in many different ways whether that is as my Chiang teacher Ming tangu said and taught me in Chinese it’s called haa which is all is well and getting better or whether it’s you know how David data described Des cries the feminine Essence
(32:30) as full and always wanting more the experience that we can have of being a lioness on the Savannah with a full belly right so coming in with our spine strong and also allowing ourselves to be led and navigated by and through our desire requires that we develop a relationship with gratitude and appreciation for what is that we find a way to love it all every single thing that is arising every single thing that is happening we say even if it’s a teeny tiny yes a micro yes we offer that feminine yes and we also begin to develop an alliance with
(33:19) our impulses we begin to recognize that what we want cannot be unwanted so best to learn about the dimensions of that desire including the shadow desires that are fulfilled in not having the thing that we say we want exploring our relationship to our own desires I mean this is like a full-time job so the practice of living as full and wanting more is a feminine Reclamation and so in these you know seemingly simple ways we begin to prepare ourselves to become a vessel to receive back in what we have objectified
(34:01) and participated in objectifying and rejecting whether it’s you know something as taboo as money and sexuality or whether it’s nature and water and the complex world of the birth experience we have an opportunity to participate in this Collective Reclamation on the individual level and I hope that that is a helpful sketch of of what I see all right until next time
