The Sovereign Society

In this episode of Sovereign Goddess, Sabrina Riccio embarks on a multi-dimensional journey with Spiritual Business Advisor Rachael Webb. We are in a time and age where spiritual activism is more important than ever before. As we witness history in the making with events like Standing Rock and the #NODAPL movement, we are called to gather the troops and come together in unity. Rachael and Sabrina get real vulnerable in this episode as they share their rising of the phoenix stories. The challenges and opportunities that have recently risen have been the playing ground for these goddesses to harness their magic to be the alchemist and transmute what's been thrown at them in recent weeks. They are dedicated to heal and overcome the energies that have been carried from previous lifetimes. Both of these sovereign goddesses are stepping into the limelight as sacred rebels, sharing their truth unapologetically. IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT... ↠ honoring Standing Rock with the Beauty way ↠ understanding the blessings that have come with the US election results ↠ the power of collaboration + coming out of the magic closet ↠ the importance of creating a dedicated sacred space in your home ↠ shifting our relationship with social media, especially with Instagram This episode is jam packed with juicy insights including out-of-this-world conversation topics pertaining to past lives, psychedelics, Standing Rock, Burning Man, healing sisterhood relationships from previous lives, anchoring in a Unity Consciousness known as the Christ Consciousness or 5d, light language, elemental relationships, and so much more. This conversation could go on for hours. Hearing this episode helped me recommit to my life's mission and purpose to go out in the world and create something real and authentic. Both Rachael and I recognize the truth - we can use our voices and knowledge to go out into the world and create something beautiful, unique, and impactful. We recognize that we are here to support one another and humanity as we all awaken to our fullest potential. Rachael is here to honor the sacred rebel within each of us. Her commitment and her self-expression has gifted so many, including myself, the permission to go out into the world and let our magic out! As we come together, we will move mountains and create a postive impact not just in the world, but for all existence.

EPISODE 005 // KEEPING THE MOMENTUM ALIVE WITH STANDING ROCK

In this episode of Sovereign Goddess, Sabrina Riccio embarks on real and insightful conversation about how we can rise up and keep the momentum alive with Standing Rock. While President Obama stated that the Dakota Access Pipeline was not allowed to go under the Missouri River, Energy Transfer Partners are still going forward to try and complete the pipeline. This has brought forth a huge uprising of the people who are standing up for peace. As we witness history in the making with events like Standing Rock and the #NODAPL movement, we are called to gather the troops and come together in unity. There are many spiritual lessons for us to learn from this experience and in this episode, Sabrina talks about the Astrological influence behind our generation and why we are the ones we've been waiting for. This is not the time to back down, rather, this is the time for us to awaken to our truest selves and to go out into the world and share our medicine unapologetically.

 

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT...

↠ keeping the faith alive for Standing Rock

↠ astrological insights about Generation Now + Millenials

↠ the spiritual lessons behind all of this

↠ the importance of keeping the faith and coming together

↠ clearing the karmic cycle for future generations

 

This episode is jam packed with juicy insights from your host. Talking about everything from Kundalini Yoga to Astrology to even action steps for you to take, this episode will leave you feeling inspired and supported as you go out and keep up. This is about standing up for your beliefs and your values. We are witnessing the awakening of a new paradigm. Yes, it can get messy, but it's our mess. We have what it takes to make it out on the other side. With perseverance and vigilance, anything is possible in the name of love. My intention for this episode is to empower you to believe in humanity and to recognize the silver lining to all of this. History is on our side and we mustn't give up now! We were made for this! This is the Rise of the Phoenix realized.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR DAILY RITUALS TO HELP YOU FLOW WITH GRACE?

Warm Lemon water + Dream journaling + writing in my Five Minute Journal each morning, and at night my Hue lights change colors with the time, so I know when to transition from work to play and get ready for bed. 

 

WHY DO YOU FEEL THERE IS A RISE OF SACRED REBELS STEPPING UP AND COMING OUT OF THE SPIRITUAL CLOSET?

I feel there are more and more sacred rebels coming out of the magic closet because we’ve past the marker (the decision point for Earth) of 2012.  We didn’t annihilate each other and destroy the Earth, so now it’s game on.  The time has come!  We have stayed hidden “in the closet” for some time now, waiting for the energy to shift.  Over the years (I’m talking lifetimes) we’ve had to hide because the world wasn’t ready for our magic.  We were persecuted and even killed in some situations for being the intuitive, empathic, magical people that we are.  However, once we crossed the end of 2012, the energy shifted.  There’s a lot more to it (re: quantum physics and the area of space our solar system is moving into), but in essence, people are tired of the old ways, and are finally ready to open up to something different!  These are the times we have been waiting for! We have been preparing for this time for all of our past lifetimes, and now there is no more practice, there is only application.  We are clear in our mission, and we can see the work there is to be done, and we are EXCITED because we are no longer doing the work alone!

WHY IS SISTARHOOD MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER BEFORE?

The healing of the deep rifts that were created in the sisterhood during the times of the witch trials left a deep deep wound in our psyches as women.  The power of the Divine Feminine has been fragmented for far too long.  But what I'm talking about specifically is the Magical Sisterhood - the Sacred Council of the High Priestesses, and the Covens of Witches.  Together we are healing from the trauma of the witch trials.  So many of us still feel the intensity of past lives in which we were burned, stoned, hung, or otherwise persecuted for letting our magic out.   

The real focus of this persecution wasn't just on the magic, but on the power of the Sisterhood itself.  The fear crept in and began to fray the fabric that bound us together.  Fear, jealousy, and resentment among women spread like wildfire.  If one woman thought that another woman looked at her husband in the wrong way, all she had to do was say the right thing to the right person, and that woman wouldn't be a problem anymore…

They say united we stand divided we fall, and this was especially true for the power of the Magical Sisterhood during this time. Divided we were, and fall we did.

That is why it is essential for us to come together again.  To heal these wounds of separation that we were forced to create within the sisterhood out of survival.  Now we are moving into a time of thriving instead of surviving - now we get to CHOOSE how to relate to one another, and we are choosing love and sisterhood as opposed to fear and separation. AND there are still sometimes when the old energies come up and we get triggered into jealousy, comparison, and self-judgement.  This is our work, for ourselves and our sisters.  If we can navigate through these murky waters…..   I don’t know exactly what it will look like but it will be the RISE of the Goddess in all of us!

WHAT DOES BEING A GODDESS MEAN TO YOU?

Walking the path of the Beauty Way.  Doing, living, working, creating and destroying all in beauty.  Being sovereign in the way in which I live my live and the choices I make.  Considering all the options.  Considering the environmental impact of my choices.  Considering the social impact of my choices.  Considering my community as I make decisions that in the past I would have thought only affected me.  Considering that I am part of the whole, and that all of the parts of the whole are part of me, and making empowering decisions for all of us.  Watching how I speak to myself and others.  Choosing love over fear as often as I can.  Choosing to respond with thoughtfulness and compassion, instead of reacting from survival.  Walking my edges.  Pushing myself in my creative expression in the way I dress, the way I speak, how I design my website and my courses, and what/how I choose to share on Instagram.  Letting my magic out more and more everyday.  Being a living example that there is another way of being than we were taught in school or through the media.  Being a living example that magic is real and miracles happen everyday. 

HOW DO YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A SOVEREIGN AQUARIAN WOMAN DURING THIS POWERFUL TIME?

I really try to listen to the energy of each day.  I pay attention to the astrology and the frequency in the air.  I've learned not to push things, and not to say yes when I really mean no.  I really try to witness myself and be aware of the unconscious motivating factors in my life.  I always try to ask myself why am I doing this?  Is this in alignment with what I want my day to look like / the goals I'm trying to accomplish / the way I want to be living / the kind of example I want to share with others?  We are not separate from one another, so even the thoughts you think in your head are not said in silence.  I know I heard this for YEARS, but now I really get it, and have SEEN the repercussions of thinking poorly about someone and how that manifests back as a mirror in my own life.  

And I'm not kidding about doing things with beauty!  That totally makes me thrive!  When you make everything beautiful around you, you are exercising your creative power and therefore the Creator inside you - so you are allowing more life force, source energy, to flow through you, which always brings more abundance!  So bring your own creative flair to ALL you do.  Here, I'll tell you a secret:  when you see someone else who is doing/wearing something that is just AMAZING - it's not about their handbag, the designer of their sweater, or the content on their website - what you are sensing is ENERGETIC RESONANCE.  You are picking up on the energetic alignment of their spirit with their expression.  That's why copying someone never looks or feels as good as the original - because you are trying to funnel their interpretation of Source Energy into your expression - so there's dissonance!  But when you do you - when you access your OWN creativity, and do things your OWN way - even if it feels CRAZY because no one else is doing it... THAT is when you've struck gold.  That is when you are THRIVING because you are a direct and clear channel for cosmic intelligence to flow through you!  And everyone will be asking you what you're doing, where you got that _____ and how you did _________- so when this starts happening, just smile to yourself and remember your creative journey.  ;)

#1 ADVICE YOU HAVE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS JUST STEPPING OUT OF THE SPIRITUAL CLOSET

Find your tribe.  Real talk:  It’s challenging to hurl yourself out of the Magic Closet when you’re confronting past life trauma of being burned, stoned or hung for you magic.  Everything is easier when we do it together.  That’s why I created the #MagicTribe community on Instagram.  We are a global community of witches, wizards, priestesses, medicine men and women, goddesses and shamans who are all committed to moving beyond these old fears and letting our magic out and sharing our magical gifts with the world in an empowered and empowering way.  

Anyone can join.  In fact I want YOU to join us.  There are already over 15,000 photos using this hashtag on Instagram.  Follow the golden threads of light through this hashtag and make new friends!!  Everything is easier when we do it together, and when we have examples of people who are one, two, even three steps ahead of us - and when there are others who are just coming into the circle, that then YOU can teach and share with.  It’s the biggest win-win that is designed to support you as you tenderly take those first few steps out of the magic closet, and start to realize that: YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS.  That THIS is why you came.  This election.  This situation with Standing Rock.  All of this is what you have been waiting for.  Yeah, it might look like a shit show, AND it’s exactly the shit show we’ve been preparing for.  So find your tribe, make new friends, and start learning from others, and sharing with others.  Together we are weaving the most beautiful cosmic tapestry - a web of light - and we need your light to join in!!

SUN | MOON | ASCENDANT

Sun and Moon in Capricorn, Ascendant in Sagittarius! I’ve always felt more like a Sag, always up for an adventure or traveling, but especially in the past year, I’ve felt this serious sense of grounding and can feel my Capricorn kicking in. I’m definitely an Earth Mama and feel very connected to nature, the environment, animals, tribal music, African dance, shamanic healing and of course, food!

 

SPIRIT ANIMAL

PEACOCK

 

CURRENT MANTRA TO HELP YOU THRIVE

Hmm.. I always remind myself that I am a vessel of the universal consciousness that channels through me. All I have to do is tune in to this information and let it pour through me.  My purpose is to be a medium and spread this light.

 

FAVORITE GODDESS

Saraswati <3 She is literally me (hence why I named my clothing line, Saraswati Couture, after her!) She is the goddess of creativity, knowledge, literature, arts and music. I feel so deeply connected to her and call upon her everyday in the mantra “Om aim shrim Sarasawti namaha”

 

FAVORITE CRYSTALS

AMETHYST // AQUAMARINE // TOURMALINE

 WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR DAILY RITUALS TO HELP YOU FLOW WITH GRACE?

I really live in my body. If my body is in pain, I cannot create. The first thing I do is do some form of exercise, whether it’s barre, pilates or a boot-camp. I was a die-hard yogi but injured my wrist last year and had to totally stop practicing, which has really opened me up to other forms of movement I shied away from. I used to walk by fitness classes and be like “oh god why would you torture yourself like that?” and now feel SO empowered when it’s 10am and I’ve already worked harder than I used to in a month. That strength keeps me going for the rest of the day. Empowered body= empowered mind.

 

HOW DO YOU FIND BALANCE AS YOU WRITE THE IDIOTS GUIDE TO AYURVEDA?

Writing a 400-page book, it is very easy to become overwhelmed by the enormity of the task. I really take it once step at a time. I focus on each chapter and really make sure I’ve completed it before moving on to the next task. I learned from writing my last book that it is MUCH easier to complete a book when you’ve edited each chapter. My last book was in FULL Shakti flow, with rants and tangents all over the place so it took much longer to EDIT it than to even write it. Since this book I’m hired by a major publisher, Penguin Randomhouse, I really have to stick to the Table of Contents I wrote up, which already outlined every single paragraph. I thought that would make it harder because I normally don’t do well with structure but it’s actually made it much easier because I know exactly what is supposed to come next. Masculine, I guess you do make sense sometimes! :P

 

WHY IS SISTARHOOD MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER BEFORE?

Women have been misguided for many years. We’ve been told that we have to be chosen, that there isn’t enough for all of us.. Enough men, jobs, beauty, etc. Now we are seeing that was absolute BULLSHIT. There is MORE than enough for everyone—and much more to life than these things! We are now redefining what is important to us- friendship, awareness, empowerment, divinity. SiSTARhood is all of that. It is the new wave of connecting with our fellow sisters, our soul-tribe, to spread love and light in the world. We aren’t competing, we are uplifting!

 

WHAT DOES BEING A GODDESS MEAN TO YOU?

To me, being a goddess has nothing to do with having long lustrous hair, awesome bohemian outfits and the latest crystal jewelry (which many see it as due to the media’s portrayal.) You can be a goddess in sweatpants, bun on top of your head and food in your teeth (which is how I am 90% of the day.)

Being a Goddess is not about being perfect but rather the most DIVINE version of yourself. It has nothing to do with physical appearance but rather is a MINDSET. Ask yourself “What would a goddess do?” Would she compete or put down others? Would she be run by her own insecurities and jealousy? Or would she step into her power and use her gifts to inspire the world?

We are all Godly beings and stepping into our GODDESS archetypes means stepping into our highest selves. A goddess isn’t anyone else but YOU in your TRUEST form.

HOW DO YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A SOVEREIGN AQUARIAN WOMAN DURING THIS POWERFUL TIME?

I try to live my life in a state of flow. I follow the Doshic times when I set up my day so I can utilize the hour’s energy for my goals. I do my more structured and organized tasks during Pitta time between 10am-2pm. I schedule my creative tasks from 2pm-6pm because that is when we are the most Vata, influenced by air and space energies. I always catch sunset and wind down during Kapha time, 6pm-10pm. This tremendously helps me because I’m working with, and not against, my body and I teach people in my 12-week program to also set up their days using the Doshic energies.

3 ESSENTIAL BOOKS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD READ

Hmm.. I’ve been reading Awakening Shakti and am obsessed. She explains the various Hindu goddess archetypes and has the most amazing anecdotes for each one. It has taught me so much more about the Goddesses I ever knew before. I love Body Mind Balancing by Osho and everything else by him. Osho has dozens of books but has never written a single one. They are just transcribed versions of his talks because his words were just so powerful that they perfectly make the text of a book. Now that is some ENLIGHTENMENT right there!

I also have learned so much about the feminine and masculine dynamic by books, lectures and notes by David Deida, who really explains the sexual and spiritual relationship between men and women so well. He wrote a great book “The Way of the Man” which is actually a self-help book for men but it has really helped me understand the psyche of the masculine, which has also really helped my relationship.

#1 ADVICE YOU HAVE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS JUST STEPPING OUT OF THE SPIRITUAL CLOSET

Follow your curiosity and don’t be afraid to walk the path alone. You don’t need a “spiritual friend” nearby you to give you the permission to begin your journey. I was the ONLY person I knew interested in this sort of stuff and started just Googling information, reading blogs and watching youtube videos about all things healing, spirituality, etc. One thing just led me to another.

I remember when I was 19 looking up “shaman meet-up” on meet-up.com and going to this ladies house with 50 other female shamans, all in their fifties or older, for a beautiful sacred fire gathering. Going there gave me the confidence to take off to Bali on my own, where I stayed for four months and met another siStar who invited me to lead a retreat with her in India, which I did several months later! Since then, I have been leading retreats around the world, bringing other goddess siStars together, all of whom are coming on the journey by themselves.

My next one is the Movement is Medicine Retreat in Costa Rica, which incorporates Ayurvedic healing with Kundalini Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Shamanic Dance Activation and volunteering in a local Costa Rica school, followed by Envision Music, Arts and Dance Festival which is in the middle of the jungle, right on the beach (and the best festival I’ve ever been to!) As a huge THANK YOU I would love to invite your community to join me and offer a special $100 off discount for anyone who feels the call to join! All info can be found on www.MovementisMedicineRetreat.com and it’s ALL goddesses traveling on their own, many for the first time out of the country ever, so you will be in good hands!

All in all, I would have never dipped my toes into this world if I had waited for someone else to join me. Don’t be afraid of taking the journey on your own! There are so many beautiful souls you will find on the way, like you Sabrina! <3
