I am safe and at ease when I live in harmony with others and my environment.

Live Like A Goddess

White Buffalo Calf Woman is a Lakota goddess. During one particularly harsh winter, she approached two hunters who were searching for food. One had lustful thoughts toward the goddess (wrong move) - she quickly turned him into a pile of bones. The other looked upon her with reverence. He could tell she was a holy woman. She instructed him to prepare his village for her arrival. ⠀
 

When she arrived, she taught the tribe the importance of living in harmony with nature and the sacred rituals to practice. The tribe listened intently, eager for her wisdom. 
 

Soon after she left the village, buffalo arrived and sacrificed their lives to provide the tribe with food, clothing, and materials. The tribe was grateful.
 

White Buffalo Calf Woman teaches us that when we live in alignment with our environment and treat the world and others with reverence, we will have access to everything we need. Through gratitude, reverence, and rituals, we can honor the sacredness of life and our role in the world.

How to Connect with White Buffalo Calf Woman

Start a gratitude journal. Write down three things you are grateful for every day and why. Try to make them unique. Instead of just writing, “I am grateful for my health,” “I am grateful for my health because it enables me to hike with my dog.” See what I mean? Try this for seven days and see if you start to notice more ease in your life. We can not feel anxiety and gratitude at the same time.

​

When we take the time to acknowledge the good things in our lives and the people, plants, and animals that have had a hand in sustaining us, we operate from a place of ease, connection, and abundance. We also realize we are not separate from the world, but an integral part of it.
