— a weekly look into how we’re living, learning and growing in this present moment at Intuitively Wild —
— LIVING —
We’re living by making space for childlike awe, play and joy. As we continue to move through Leo season, we are being asked to embrace the energy of celebration. Celebrating who we are, the season we are in, and all the little moments of magic we can tap into.
This is your reminder to make space for play, to pause in awe, to do what brings you joy. This theme may seem trivial, frivolous or over-used, but I promise it is profound. Often our resistance to it is in direct proportion to our need to embrace it.
How can you embrace awe, play and joy in your life this week? How can you dedicate and devote more of your life to celebrating your life?
— LEARNING —
We’re always going down rabbit holes and deepening our learning over here at Intuitively Wild. Although we have so many favourites, we wanted to share one book from each of our foundational tools that we turn to when in researcher mode. So, here is a book recommendation for those wanting to begin or deepen their exploration into Human Design, Herbalism and Yoga Therapy -
Human Design - A Modern Guide to Human Design
Herbalism - The Modern Herbal Dispensatory
Yoga Therapy - The Secret Power of Yoga
— GROWING —
We’re growing by watching our words.
Our words are so powerful. They are quite literally spells that we put out into the universe (hence the word - spelling).
What we proclaim we declare unto ourselves, whether we realise it or not. Often I hear people (myself included) saying I am ___ - fill in the blank with something negative, self deprecating, unhelpful. When we use the words “I am" we are identifying ourselves as this thing, attaching ourselves to it and embodying the energy and essence of that word.
What if you became more aware of the words you were speaking, especially when it comes to how you are speaking about yourself? What if you paused before you spoke and spoke with intention and presence?
What if you treated words as spells?
Awareness, pause, intention.
And, sometimes, silence is even more powerful than words.

WORDS FROM OUR FOUNDER
I want to take a moment to express the profound gratitude I feel towards you for being here. If you are here, reading this, it means the world to me. Not only because you are spending your time supporting me and Intuitively Wild, but because it means you are interested or already invested in living Intuitively Wild.
Intuitively Wild is not simply a brand, and it is not simply a community, it is a way of life, a way of being. It is a lifestyle that asks you to show up as your best and fullest self in each moment.
That is what our world needs more than anything - each of us showing up intentionally, authentically and confidently. Each of us showing up connected to ourselves, aligned with our true selves, and present in the world around us.
If you are here reading this, it means you are living intuitively wild. And that’s what means the world to me. I’d love to know how living intuitively wild is supporting you in your life right now and, equally as important, where it is feeling challenging for you right now.
Until next time, stay intuitively wild 🌙
xx,
~ Rachel
