14. Life School: Life-Death-Life Yoga & Meditation Practice (Ch. 5, Women Who Run With the Wolves)
07/15/20 • 37 min
This is our “Life School” episode where we take a theme from the chapter we are studying from our current book club selection, Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, and we share a tool, practice, or exercise for how to work with that theme in your life. This month we are studying Chapter 5: “Hunting: When the heart is a lonely hunter”.
In this chapter we learned about the Life-Death-Life Cycle, where you pay attention to what needs to be released from your life and what needs to be invited in.
With today's exercise you'll walk through a guided movement meditation practice to help you flow with your own natural life-death-life cycle.
- You will set an intention for what wants to be released and what wants to be invited in.
- You will practice yoga postures and breath work to help you work with your intention.

Bonus: Summer in the Hive, Wisdom from the Bees
This is a special bonus episode that is the perfect compliment to studying the Life-Death-Life nature of Skeleton Woman!
A few years ago we recorded a four part series on the wisdom the bees have to offer us each season. We love how these audios celebrate the life-death-life cycle, which Clarissa Pinkola Estes says is the essence of the Wild Woman.
Having recently celebrated the Summer Solstice, we want to share our conversation on what the bees have to teach us about the productive energies of summer.
In this episode you will learn about what bees are up to in the summertime and the wisdom and inspiration this has to offer us about expressing our true selves, the importance of self care when life becomes busy and hectic, and more.
Try this at home:
- Listen to the “Inner Hive Meditation for Embracing Stillness” in episode 6
- Choose one piece of wisdom from the bees that resonated with you and journal about it.
Read these books to learn more about bees:
- Natural Beekeeping by Ross Conrad
- The Shamanic Way of the Bee by Simon Buxton
- The Beekeeper's Bible uses by Richard Jones and Sharon Sweeney-Lynch
