Can you imagine a life where embracing your imperfections not only empowers you but also illuminates the paths of those around you? Our latest episode unravels the mystical and transformative archetype of the wise woman, a figure deeply connected to life's mysteries and grounded in authentic lived experiences. Through personal reflections and a beautifully rendered poem, we explore how the wise woman's wisdom acts as a mirror, reflecting our inner light and guiding us to reclaim the hidden parts of ourselves. Her role is not to fix or save but to hold space, helping us manifest intentionally and cultivate a life rich with self-awareness, empathy, and compassion.
Join us as we examine the wise woman's role in service, where true wisdom unfolds through love and humility rather than ego. Just as wise parenting nurtures growth through natural consequences, this archetype encourages us to trust our inner strength and navigate life’s complexities. The conversation invites you to explore self-expression and healing through joy, art, and movement, offering transformative experiences that awaken the truth within. By the end, you'll see how embracing your humanity and imperfections can be a powerful source of strength and a guide to reclaiming your voice, essence, and light.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hello, luminous beings, joy with virology here.
I am so honored to be here withyou today and I'm going to be.
I'm following up in thisconversation with something that
I posted on Instagram about thewise woman, and I've been
exploring these differentarchetypes of awakening and this
one was really downloaded to me, and many years ago I actually
(00:30):
studied poetry.
So once again, I'm cracking upat how everything I've ever done
has just started weaving intothis now moment, this presence
that has come forth through me,this ability to tune in and stay
present, and when I do that, Iam in sacred flow and in that I
(00:51):
am just like really tapped intocreativity and downloads.
And this one came through andit's really beautiful and it was
a poem.
And then, of course, I dove alittle bit deeper and I was like
what are the qualities of thewise woman?
A wise woman holds the mirror.
A wise woman doesn't tell youwho you are.
She doesn't hand you a scriptor mold you into her image.
(01:13):
Instead, she reflects yourlight back to you, the parts
you've forgotten, buried or havebeen too afraid to claim.
She holds the mirror steadyeven when you flinch, even when
you want to turn away.
She sees past the layers youwear for protection, straight
into the essence of your divinenature.
(01:34):
She doesn't shy away from yourshadows because she knows they
are the doorways to yourgreatest gifts.
A wise woman whispers lookdeeper, deeper into the doubts,
deeper than the fear, deeperthan the stories you've been
told.
She doesn't just see yourpotential.
She sees your wholeness, thesacred self-expression that's
(01:56):
already within you, waiting torise.
Her presence activatessomething you didn't know was
there your voice as a tool forhealing, your truth as a source
of freedom, your sacred self asa creative force.
She doesn't fix you, shedoesn't save you.
(02:16):
She reminds you that you werenever broken.
To meet a wise woman is tostand face to face with your own
divinity, to remember the selfyou were never allowed to be, to
reclaim your voice, youressence, your light.
When a wise woman holds themirror, you realize you've been
(02:37):
whole all along.
So that's the poem that I wroteabout the wise woman archetype.
So who is the wise woman?
What are the qualities thatdefine the wise woman and how do
you embody the wise womanarchetype?
The wise woman is a deep vesselof knowing.
(02:58):
She's a keeper of truths thatflow not only from her
experience, but from a profoundconnection to life's mysteries.
She embodies the sacred balanceof intellect and intuition, the
tangible and the unseen, thefinite and the infinite.
Her wisdom is not bound by age,though it's often shaped and
(03:20):
refined by time, hardship andtriumph.
It's carved from herwillingness to listen to herself
, to others and, most of all, tothose whispers and cries of the
world.
So what makes her wise?
Well, number one, the sametrait that I tell you all the
(03:41):
time, that I tell everybody allthe time.
That is the first trait thatmust be cultivated, and that is
self awareness.
A wise woman knows herselfdeeply.
She is not afraid to look intothe shadows of her heart, of her
conditioning, of her soul.
She is not afraid to turntoward and go toward whatever is
(04:04):
arising in the present momentwithin her.
She knows that when you turntoward your wound, when you turn
toward your wounding, towardyour wounds, that those are
actually the portals to presence, that those are the portals to
now, because you have to gothrough that the stuck energy of
feeling wounded which keeps yourooted and grounded in the past
(04:24):
, because you're stuck in thehurt, versus going through that
the stuck energy of feelingwounded which keeps you rooted
and grounded in the past,because you're stuck in the hurt
, versus going through thatwound as a portal to presence.
And you go through that wound,unfortunately, by feeling the
energy that is stuck there inthe body Because, remember, the
body is the unconscious mind,which is why your wounds are the
portal to presence.
(04:45):
Because only when you clearthat conditioning, that wounded
conditioning, can you stopoperating from that place of
wounded conditioning where wekeep creating that same wound.
We keep creating these externalmanifestations of that wound
and our external manifestationsare there to simply show us
where we are vibrationally.
(05:06):
And so if we keep recreatingthis wound, then we know, if we
can look at this pattern ofwounding, then we know that it's
an invitation to stop runningfrom it, to stop hiding from it,
to stop manifesting it, to stopdwelling on it and instead to
turn toward it.
The wise woman really knowsthat when you go through that
(05:29):
wound, that's how you arise.
You come out whole on the otherside of that, because you
reclaim this part of you thatyou've neglected.
The wound happened, the woundis there, the wound exists and
instead of denying it, pushingit away, not wanting to feel it,
not wanting to deal with it, weturn toward it and in that we
reclaim that part of ourself.
(05:50):
Wisdom really begins withself-knowledge.
Who am I in here?
And then that self-knowing iswhat radiates outward.
And that self-knowing, thatself-awareness, that level of
self-knowing is how we manifestintentionally in the world,
because we've gone through thewounds and the portals of the
(06:11):
past to come into the portal ofthe present moment, so that we
can be in self-aware choice,awareness in the present moment.
Number two sign of the wisewoman, or the quality of the
wise woman, I should say, isempathy and compassion.
Her wisdom is rooted inopenheartedness.
(06:33):
This is not wisdom that thinks.
This is not wisdom that'squoting from books and and
thingsheartedness.
This is not wisdom that thinks.
This is not wisdom that'squoting from books and and
things like that.
This is wisdom that comes fromthe heart.
This is wisdom that comes fromlived experience, and she holds
space for others from this placein her heart, not to fix people
, not to rescue people, but tosimply reflect back to them
(06:56):
their own strength and truth,because the wise woman knows
that if she did it, others cantoo.
She knows that what she hasothers have too.
The powers, the gifts that areavailable to the wise woman are
available to all and she knowsthat and she sees people's
potential and she allows them tosee it more clearly.
(07:19):
Because the wise woman knowsthat we are not our stories, we
are not our conditioning, we arenot the wounds.
Having gone through thatwounding process, she no longer
identifies herself with thosewounds, the conditioned self.
So she knows that other peopleare not identified by their
conditioned self either, andthat's where the empathy and
compassion comes in.
(07:40):
Number three is integration ofexperience and, as I mentioned
in the last part of it, this islived experience, this is
embodied experience that thewise woman has.
And wisdom is not just knowingit, it's living it, it's
integrating it, it's takingthose life lessons and putting
them to work in your own life.
(08:00):
You really walk your talk whenyou're a wise woman, because to
do otherwise would be unwise.
And a wise woman learns fromher past and she's not
imprisoned by it.
And in the present, if shemakes a mistake, she views it as
learning.
It's just lessons, and you'llhear her say that no mistakes,
just lessons.
Very lighthearted about her ownerrors and her own mistakes, she
(08:23):
turns every scar into a story,like her scars are her stories.
How'd you get that scar?
Here's the story.
But a lot of us wear our scarson the inside and the wise woman
is one of those that wears mostof her scars on the inside, so
you can't see them to say how'dyou get that scar.
But she might be able to seethat scar within you and ask you
(08:46):
, how'd you get that scar?
And then you can share yourstory, because the wise woman
doesn't need to share her story.
She wants to invite you to openup and share your story.
She wants to invite you to feelthat vibration of safety from
someone who lives it, embodiesit, has empathy and compassion,
(09:07):
is highly self-aware and you cantell she has integrated the
experiences of her life.
She's not a wounded healer,she's wise, she lives her wisdom
and she reflects this back toyou.
And she knows that her scarsare stories and your scars are
stories.
And she knows that everychallenge is simply an
(09:29):
opportunity to growth, that thesolutions to everything in life
lie in the problems themselves.
The problem also contains thesolution to the problem.
And she knows that, which leadsto number four, which is she
listens beyond the hearing andshe listens with intuition.
And to listen to intuitionmeans that you're listening
(09:52):
deeply, you're trusting thatinner voice that comes from
beyond logic, that might saysomething different to you
inside than what is being saidon the outside, and it's a deep,
ancient knowing that reallygoes above the intellect,
because every way that we listenis a container of meaning.
(10:14):
So when people arecommunicating, you're listening
for the message, you'relistening for their intention
and you ask clarifying questions.
And then the other way that shelistens, she's listening with
her intuition.
Now she listens also to herintuition.
The wise woman doesn't justlisten externally and hear
intuitively, she also listensinwardly to her own intuition
(10:36):
and trusts her own intuition,and she is highly intuitively
guided.
She does not question herintuition anymore.
She's beyond that phase ofdoubt, of doubting her own self,
of doubting her own intuition.
She knows that her intuition isher direct connection to her
nafsha, her soul self, herhigher self, that aspect of
ourself that resides in thequantum field of all, that is,
(10:59):
that communicates with us.
She listens to that, she trustsit and her decisions are often
even guided by it.
Number five is that she has aconnection to nature and spirit.
The wise woman knows thateverything is one.
She knows that we are a fieldof unity.
She knows that when I pull myend of the web.
It pulls the end of the webover there.
(11:20):
She knows she doesn't live in avacuum.
She knows that what she doesimpacts the whole and she feels
the responsibility of that.
She's also attuned to therhythms of nature and she really
tries to pay attention andguide her life by the cycles of
the moon, these very rhythmiccycles of nature and the moon
(11:45):
and it's it's a very fluid danceof the divine feminine and she
honors the sacred and themundane.
She honors the sacred and themost mundane thing of all, which
is ourself.
Going deep within to connectwith the sacred in the flesh and
then to live from that place isthe deepest connection.
(12:06):
And her wisdom comes becauseshe is in harmony with nature,
with flow, with and with spiritand with herself, and she flows
in this beautiful divine harmony.
Number six is fearless truthtelling.
But her sort of truth doesn'tcut.
Her sort of truth is abeautiful bomb that you can feel
(12:30):
ring through to you as a truthin your soul.
And she speaks the truth withclarity and grace, even when
it's difficult.
Her words are not painful.
She understands the power ofher voice to heal, to uplift, to
inspire, to empower and if it'sgot the power to do those
things.
It's also got the power to dothe opposites.
It's got the power to destroyRight.
(12:54):
Our power is our tongue.
Our power is our tongue, andshe really takes her word.
What she says as also beingsacred, because it's an
expression of the self.
Number seven is her resilienceand surrender.
She has danced through grief,she has danced through joy,
(13:15):
she's been to the depths ofdespair and to the heights of
love, and that's part of thejourney of the wise woman is to
be this vast container, thisvast vessel of human experience,
of human lived experience, sothat she can have empathy and
understanding.
And because she's bounced back,she knows that you can too.
That's that resilient spirit.
(13:36):
And even still, she knows whento hold on and she knows when to
let go.
Again, those rhythms, when tohold it, when to let it go.
She flows with life's currentsrather than resisting them.
She surrenders.
And there's a strength insurrender, there's a softness in
surrender, because when Isurrender my will and how I want
(13:56):
something to go, and I stopforcing my will and how I want
something to go, and I stopforcing it to go how I want it
to go, and I surrender, I cannow go into flow instead of
force, and then things unfold inways I could have never, ever
have foreseen, because I don'thave that vision that spirit has
(14:17):
.
I can't see what spirit can seefor me, and so I know to
surrender, and the wise womanknows to surrender and that she
knows when to let go, she knowshow to bounce back because she
is resilient.
And last is number eight, andthat is that the wise woman is
of service to others.
Wisdom is not for the self.
(14:38):
Wisdom is not for the self.
That's ego.
If you're thinking you're allwise and you've got all this
wisdom but you're keeping it foryourself, that's your ego.
Your ego always wants to exaltthe self.
And the wise woman, any ofthese spiritual archetypes that
(15:03):
I'm writing about and creatinghere in co-creation with spirit,
are not to serve the self.
If it's of service of self andit's selfish, then that's from
ego and it's spiritual bypassing, it's spiritual narcissism and
it's mental masturbation at itsfinest.
I'm going to say it.
So this energy of being ofservice to others is that my
(15:28):
wisdom is to share.
My wisdom is to lighten theload of others.
My wisdom is if I can shortcutthis process for you from point
A to point B and I'm like, oh, Itook that same journey, here's
how I did it, if it's helpful toyou.
And she seeks to uplift othersand guide, not from a place of
(15:48):
superiority, of thinking she'sbetter than.
We're not talking about a cultleader here.
We're talking a person who'sleading from love.
She's guiding from a place thatis just so much love for
humanity, because once yourealize the divinity in yourself
, you see it in others because,again, she's connected to the
(16:08):
natures and to nature and theunity and the all that is.
So the wise woman holds themirror up to others because she
knows that the greatest giftthat she can offer is to help
others see themselves as theytruly are.
I know that's so true.
I know that I love when a wisewoman holds the mirror up for me
so I can see who I truly am,and I love it when I can do that
(16:31):
for others.
It's so beautiful, it's one ofthe most beautiful experiences I
feel like there is.
And she shows you your lightand your shadow.
You have to see the shadows.
You got to see the shadows sothat you can turn toward them
and shine your light on them andwalk through those dark places
by the guidance of your owninner light, having that courage
(16:53):
, having that resilience to turntoward the wound.
And she never imposes heranswers on others.
She does not give advice.
The wise woman does not tellyou what you should do and in
fact she won't even offer advice.
If you're speaking to a wisewoman and she's listening to you
and you're sharing a problem,more than likely she's simply
(17:13):
going to be silent and listen toyou.
She's not going to reflect backany advice.
She's going to reflect backyour own strength.
She's going to reflect backyour own ability to step into
that solution of your ownproblems, of your own life.
Because the wise woman knowsthat if you shortcut the path
(17:35):
for somebody, you'reshortcutting their growth,
you're shortcutting valuablelessons that their soul might
need and then they're going tohave to repeat that lesson
because you shortcutted it forthem.
And this is part of wiseparenting too, that we don't
shortcut these things for ourchildren.
We have to let naturalconsequences happen.
That's part of the wisdom oflearning of life.
(17:56):
And yes, it hurts to watchpeople go through these things,
but then it's also beautiful towatch people go through these
things when you have reached itto this place of resilience and
transformation, transcendenceand actually it's not even
transcendence, it'sintercendence, it's intercension
, because this all happens inhere, it all happens in the
(18:19):
temple of the body, and the wisewoman knows that too.
The wise woman isn't perfect,she doesn't try to be perfect,
she doesn't want to be perfect.
She is very aware of her ownhuman, flawed nature.
And, most of all, the wisewoman knows that she knows
nothing.
The wise woman knows that herway is not the way, her answer
(18:43):
is not the answer.
It's a way, it's a answer, andit worked for her and it might
work for you, or it might not.
And so it's really.
The wise woman reflects back toyou your own sense of inner
trust and listening within.
And that is it for the wisewoman and I'm going to be doing
(19:20):
Magdalene path of illumination.
And it's walking that path ofillumination and what it unlocks
in you is really profound andI'm so grateful to be a steward
of it.
And then, of course, processingall of these things through how
I do it, which is through joy,through sound, through art,
through dance, through drumming,I invite you to visit me at
(19:41):
vibology V-I-B-O-L-O-G-I-Ecom.
You can take a sacredvibrational class for
self-expression to get into thisfeeling of who you truly are
and express from that place and,of course, join me for
soluminous, my beautifulmodality that I use to help you
(20:03):
get into your body so that youcan heal the traumas of your
body, you can awaken the truthof your body and you can become
who you are here to be.
All right, loves, I'll see younext week.

The wise woman doesn't justlisten externally and hear
intuitively, she also listensinwardly to her own intuition
(10:36):
and trusts her own intuition,and she is highly intuitively
guided.
She does not question herintuition anymore.
She's beyond that phase ofdoubt, of doubting her own self,
of doubting her own intuition.
She knows that her intuition isher direct connection to her
nafsha, her soul self, herhigher self, that aspect of
ourself that resides in thequantum field of all, that is,
(10:59):
that communicates with us.
She listens to that, she trustsit and her decisions are often
even guided by it.
Number five is that she has aconnection to nature and spirit.
The wise woman knows thateverything is one.
She knows that we are a fieldof unity.
She knows that when I pull myend of the web.
It pulls the end of the webover there.
(11:20):
She knows she doesn't live in avacuum.
She knows that what she doesimpacts the whole and she feels
the responsibility of that.
She's also attuned to therhythms of nature and she really
tries to pay attention andguide her life by the cycles of
the moon, these very rhythmiccycles of nature and the moon
(11:45):
and it's it's a very fluid danceof the divine feminine and she
honors the sacred and themundane.
She honors the sacred and themost mundane thing of all, which
is ourself.
Going deep within to connectwith the sacred in the flesh and
then to live from that place isthe deepest connection.
(12:06):
And her wisdom comes becauseshe is in harmony with nature,
with flow, with and with spiritand with herself, and she flows
in this beautiful divine harmony.
Number six is fearless truthtelling.
But her sort of truth doesn'tcut.
Her sort of truth is abeautiful bomb that you can feel
(12:30):
ring through to you as a truthin your soul.
And she speaks the truth withclarity and grace, even when
it's difficult.
Her words are not painful.
She understands the power ofher voice to heal, to uplift, to
inspire, to empower and if it'sgot the power to do those
things.
It's also got the power to dothe opposites.
It's got the power to destroyRight.
(12:54):
Our power is our tongue.
Our power is our tongue, andshe really takes her word.
What she says as also beingsacred, because it's an
expression of the self.
Number seven is her resilienceand surrender.
She has danced through grief,she has danced through joy,
(13:15):
she's been to the depths ofdespair and to the heights of
love, and that's part of thejourney of the wise woman is to
be this vast container, thisvast vessel of human experience,
of human lived experience, sothat she can have empathy and
understanding.
And because she's bounced back,she knows that you can too.
That's that resilient spirit.
(13:36):
And even still, she knows whento hold on and she knows when to
let go.
Again, those rhythms, when tohold it, when to let it go.
She flows with life's currentsrather than resisting them.
She surrenders.
And there's a strength insurrender, there's a softness in
surrender, because when Isurrender my will and how I want
(13:56):
something to go, and I stopforcing my will and how I want
something to go, and I stopforcing it to go how I want it
to go, and I surrender, I cannow go into flow instead of
force, and then things unfold inways I could have never, ever
have foreseen, because I don'thave that vision that spirit has
(14:17):
.
I can't see what spirit can seefor me, and so I know to
surrender, and the wise womanknows to surrender and that she
knows when to let go, she knowshow to bounce back because she
is resilient.
And last is number eight, andthat is that the wise woman is
of service to others.
Wisdom is not for the self.
(14:38):
Wisdom is not for the self.
That's ego.
If you're thinking you're allwise and you've got all this
wisdom but you're keeping it foryourself, that's your ego.
Your ego always wants to exaltthe self.
And the wise woman, any ofthese spiritual archetypes that
(15:03):
I'm writing about and creatinghere in co-creation with spirit,
are not to serve the self.
If it's of service of self andit's selfish, then that's from
ego and it's spiritual bypassing, it's spiritual narcissism and
it's mental masturbation at itsfinest.
I'm going to say it.
So this energy of being ofservice to others is that my
(15:28):
wisdom is to share.
My wisdom is to lighten theload of others.
My wisdom is if I can shortcutthis process for you from point
A to point B and I'm like, oh, Itook that same journey, here's
how I did it, if it's helpful toyou.
And she seeks to uplift othersand guide, not from a place of
(15:48):
superiority, of thinking she'sbetter than.
We're not talking about a cultleader here.
We're talking a person who'sleading from love.
She's guiding from a place thatis just so much love for
humanity, because once yourealize the divinity in yourself
, you see it in others because,again, she's connected to the
(16:08):
natures and to nature and theunity and the all that is.
So the wise woman holds themirror up to others because she
knows that the greatest giftthat she can offer is to help
others see themselves as theytruly are.
I know that's so true.
I know that I love when a wisewoman holds the mirror up for me
so I can see who I truly am,and I love it when I can do that
(16:31):
for others.
It's so beautiful, it's one ofthe most beautiful experiences I
feel like there is.
And she shows you your lightand your shadow.
You have to see the shadows.
You got to see the shadows sothat you can turn toward them
and shine your light on them andwalk through those dark places
by the guidance of your owninner light, having that courage
(16:53):
, having that resilience to turntoward the wound.
And she never imposes heranswers on others.
She does not give advice.
The wise woman does not tellyou what you should do and in
fact she won't even offer advice.
If you're speaking to a wisewoman and she's listening to you
and you're sharing a problem,more than likely she's simply
(17:13):
going to be silent and listen toyou.
She's not going to reflect backany advice.
She's going to reflect backyour own strength.
She's going to reflect backyour own ability to step into
that solution of your ownproblems, of your own life.
Because the wise woman knowsthat if you shortcut the path
(17:35):
for somebody, you'reshortcutting their growth,
you're shortcutting valuablelessons that their soul might
need and then they're going tohave to repeat that lesson
because you shortcutted it forthem.
And this is part of wiseparenting too, that we don't
shortcut these things for ourchildren.
We have to let naturalconsequences happen.
That's part of the wisdom oflearning of life.
(17:56):
And yes, it hurts to watchpeople go through these things,
but then it's also beautiful towatch people go through these
things when you have reached itto this place of resilience and
transformation, transcendenceand actually it's not even
transcendence, it'sintercendence, it's intercension
, because this all happens inhere, it all happens in the
(18:19):
temple of the body, and the wisewoman knows that too.
The wise woman isn't perfect,she doesn't try to be perfect,
she doesn't want to be perfect.
She is very aware of her ownhuman, flawed nature.
And, most of all, the wisewoman knows that she knows
nothing.
The wise woman knows that herway is not the way, her answer
(18:43):
is not the answer.
It's a way, it's a answer, andit worked for her and it might
work for you, or it might not.
And so it's really.
The wise woman reflects back toyou your own sense of inner
trust and listening within.
And that is it for the wisewoman and I'm going to be doing
(19:20):
Magdalene path of illumination.
And it's walking that path ofillumination and what it unlocks
in you is really profound andI'm so grateful to be a steward
of it.
And then, of course, processingall of these things through how
I do it, which is through joy,through sound, through art,
through dance, through drumming,I invite you to visit me at
(19:41):
vibology V-I-B-O-L-O-G-I-Ecom.
You can take a sacredvibrational class for
self-expression to get into thisfeeling of who you truly are
and express from that place and,of course, join me for
soluminous, my beautifulmodality that I use to help you
(20:03):
get into your body so that youcan heal the traumas of your
body, you can awaken the truthof your body and you can become
who you are here to be.
All right, loves, I'll see younext week.
Be blessed, bye.
