Reclaiming Your Rock Bottom

Every heroine’s journey has a rock bottom – a moment when they feel they just can’t do it anymore. And this is the turning point of true reclamation.

You’ve likely experienced those moments in your life when you are on your hands and knees on the floor and simply don’t know what to do. Or when it’s felt like you can’t take much more, or that your heart is going to break into a million pieces.

Yet it didn’t. You’re still here. You’ve overcome every hard thing in your life so far. And I’ll bet that, when you look back on those times, you’ll realise that they are the times when you learned the most about yourself and the moments that made you. Because it’s in our rock bottoms that we meet the Dark Goddess.

Just as Shakti, the divine feminine, is creation, she is also destruction. The Dark Goddess is an agent of change, a bringer of chaos, a force to be reckoned with. In nature, she is the storms, tsunamis and volcanos, and it can often feel like she brings this same energy into our lives, especially when we are straying from our soul’s path.

The Dark Goddess knows that it’s only really when we are in the depths of despair or when our back is against the wall that we learn the most about ourselves and how strong and capable we are. It’s in our darkest moments when we really get to know ourselves and are called to rise and be there to support, encourage, trust, care for and love ourselves.

I know that these hard times can feel unsettling and leave you feeling unsure of yourself, your faith and life. But these rock bottoms truly are some of the most powerful and transformational times of our lives.

While we can’t always consciously choose what happens to us in life, we can always, always choose how we respond and react to what is happening. When you see yourself as a victim and that things are happening to you, you lose all your power and do become a victim of that circumstance. When you see life as happening ‘for’ you, everything changes. You begin to see the opportunities, growth and lessons in what you are going through and become an active participant in your own life, even if it feels challenging. You get to call upon the Dark Goddess for strength, help, support and understanding, deepening your relationship with her and yourself.

Anytime you notice yourself in a difficult situation or spiralling in your mind, ask yourself, ‘What can I learn from this?’ or ‘What is this showing me?’ Rather than allowing yourself to fall into victim, try to see the bigger picture, the teachings and the lessons, the way in which this is the Goddess showing you that you have moved out of alignment with your soul.

Sometimes, admittedly, the lessons don’t become clear until a little further down the path, when you can look back and connect the dots. But by
