The Fire That Protects

Send us Fan MailThe Fire Within is a September Sourel series for the woman who has been taught to fear her anger, silence her truth, soften her no, or turn her fire back against herself.Across the month, these Sourels gently return anger to its sacred place within the feminine. Not as something to act from blindly, and not as something to shame or exile, but as a living signal that something in her still knows what matters.This is a month of listening to the fire beneath the surface: the boundary, the hurt, the truth, the dignity, the grief, the power, and the light that may have been hidden beneath years of holding everything together.The invitation is not to become angrier. It is to become more deeply connected to the wisdom beneath the anger, so the fire no longer has to burn alone.If you find yourself wanting something to return to between these reflections, in the actual moment a pattern like this one takes hold, I also built an app called Settle and Source. It offers a ninety-second guided practice for exactly the kind of moment this reflection has been describing, the gap between noticing an urge and knowing what to do with it. It is not a replacement for anything here, simply another door, in case it is the right one for you. https://settleandsource.comSettle and Source: The Podcast is created by Angela M.
