Wolves & The Wild Self

Today’s meditation practice is one that evokes the emotions of winter and a deep connection to our wild selves. It is called Call of the Wolf… and it isn’t for the faint of heart.
This practice is an invitation. It is an unearthing of your wild, instinctive nature. Not wild as in exuberant or loud; but wild as in the self that is born of and inextricably connected to the natural world . It is allowing us to fine-tune our inner listening and our relationship to our own wise intuition.
Wolves are known for their keen senses, their playful spirits and their deep devotion and loyalty to their packs and their mates. When our own wildness, our natural state, is healthy, we too are relational creatures with a wise intuition, playful hearts and deep devotion to the health and wellness of our communities.
As we settle into our practice, you will hear a pack of wolves howling at the moon, and in this episode, we talk about the importance of howling, of being in touch with our emotional selves, and freeing up what we so-often lock down.
Huge thank you to Gordon Hempton, sound artist and acoustic ecologist, for the use of these soundscapes. The wolves were recorded at Wolf Haven in Washington. You can learn more about Gordon and his work at https://soundtracker.com/.
