There’s a quote I love that goes something like this...
“In a society that profits from your self-doubt, loving yourself is a rebellious act.”
I believe our world needs more women who love themselves, women who are taking the rebellious path inward and are committed to rising to their highest (and deepest) potential.
Women who...
- Choose from their worth, not their wounds
- Will stand by their Core Values, even if it means losing love
- Know how to self soothe in the depth of pain, rejection and big emotions
- Are connected to their inner guidance system
- Feel deeply fulfilled in their friendships & relationships...and aligned with their purpose
Unfortunately most of us weren’t taught how to love ourselves.
...and because we weren’t taught to love ourselves, most of us have also never fully felt safe to BE our true selves around others.
Through our childhood experiences, we all developed wounds and fractured parts of ourselves. These wounds were created through the relationships with our parents, teachers and friends.
As we get older, we go out into the world with these open wounds and our subconscious mind seeks out connection in order to heal. It gets fixated on everything outside of us hoping to find something that will finally make us feel whole again.
Unfortunately a lot of the connections we seek out only further validate our wounds because the people we find aren’t on The Path as well. They may lack the understanding or compassion to really be there for us in the way we need it.
We may also find we chase relationships or a career path or constant validation from others thinking once we get it, we will finally feel whole...we won’t. Because we’re going about it the wrong way…”Outside-In vs. Inside-Out”
We must FIRST go inward to heal these wounds, to learn to love ourselves...and only then can we attract experiences outside of us that are fully aligned with our whole selves.
Every person must embark on The Path inward if they want to truly heal and feel fulfilled.
Yet because these wounds we carry were created IN relationship, it’s an essential part of our healing to be witnessed & supported by like-minded people as we continue along The Path toward our true self.
One of the most painful things on this path is to go it alone. To feel like we don’t have anyone who understands the inward journey we’re on.
So many women struggle to find a community that they fit into. So they isolate. Do the work on their own.
They may even put their growth on hold just to fit into the group of friends they do have. Or they fumble their way through The Path.
It doesn’t have to be such a hard and grueling path. We don’t have to do it alone.
Hi, I’m Sheleana Aiyana
I’m the Founder of Rising Woman, a community of over 1.9 million seeking to expand their self-awareness, heal their relationship wounds and reclaim their true nature.
Our name is Rising Woman but the truth is, it’s not just women who need to rise. We need all people to Rise. People who are ready & willing to awaken. People on the path, together.
The Path belongs to anyone who feels the call.
For me, the call was embedded in me as a young girl. I had a very tumultuous upbringing. I was in and out of foster care and developed a deep abandonment wound through a painful relationship with my mother. I never met my dad.
I spent the first 26 years of my life hardened by my past, unable to be truly vulnerable or experience depth in my relationships. Underneath my tough exterior was a sensitive, imaginative and deeply feminine nature - but I was far too guarded and defensive to let anyone else see me.
As an introvert and a self-proclaimed hermit, I have always loved my alone time. It’s my time to write, create and dream - but at the end of the day, we all need those few key people in our lives we can feel safe with.
My wounds prevented me from having those connections, and underneath it all I was lonely, without true community, no family, no one I could really pour my heart out to.
A few weeks ago we asked you about your biggest challenges on the path...
and as it turns out many of you feel similarly to how I did.
“I feel that the community I currently have in my inner circle are not on the same growth path I’m in, and I am unable to share with them vulnerably.”
“I’m always growing on my own. And looking for my “pack” I fit in with. ”
“…I do feel alone. I do wish to be a part of a bigger Rising Woman Community where we can get together somehow, like a retreat and/or group gatherings (virtual or in-person but distanced). In relation to the first question, I do think it would be SO beneficial for me to be in a community that is also on the same growing path.”
It was a really painful betrayal and divorce that brought me face to face with my wounds and invited me to walk the healing Path…
I knew that If I didn’t choose to face my wounds and heal my patterns, I would end up in the same broken relationships, feeling unfulfilled and unmet in my life.
I’d continue to feel alone. I’d continue to isolate myself and never really let anyone in.
It was then that I discovered my mentor Phil, a transpersonal therapist with a background in Conscious Relationship Training and Jungian Shadow Work. Like a modern-day wizard, he took me under his wing and coached me one-on-one for seven months, before I became his apprentice and trained with him for over 4.5 years.
The experience forever transformed me. But it wasn’t easy.
I read dozens of books on healing, empowerment, and relationships, and endured a lot of pain as I searched my soul for answers.
Over time, I could feel my inner child – that hurt girl that settled for half-hearted love because she longed to be seen, desired, and loved — begin to let go and heal.
And the empowered woman within begin to rise.
Since then I have studied and trained in imago couples therapy with Harville Hendrix, feminine myth, family systems work, attachment wounds, Buddhism and tantra. I am also a trained birth doula, and full-spectrum birth worker.
...and most importantly, I found my community. I learned the importance of letting people in. Letting people see that sensitive, imaginative woman that I always knew myself to be but didn’t show.
I found people who I could really let myself be seen by. It was profoundly healing.
I want this for you too.
I have experienced first hand the gifts that come from immersing yourself on the path.
Working with the right mentors helped me go deep into the fire of my wounds and truly heal... and make contact with my own inner-teacher.
My life is completely different... |
|
|---|---|
 |
I’ve cleared blocks around relationships, physical health, and even money! |
 |
I am in a deeply fulfilling healthy marriage with my husband Ben. I know without the healing work I could have never had this kind of relationship. My childhood set me up to be a “runner”. Now I have the tools to cultivate connection with myself and my husband. |
 |
I trust in myself to make choices that are in alignment with my soul's calling, rather than making choices from fear. |
 |
I am surrounded by incredible people who are also on the Path. I’ve let down my guards and allow myself to be seen in my friendships. I finally feel safe to show people I trust my vulnerable and tender side (Believe me..it was very hard for me to be vulnerable!) |
I don’t know where I would be without the Path but I do know I wouldn’t be where I am today.
I feel more aligned and fulfilled than I ever have...
...and I feel a fire in my soul to help other people embrace the path inward and to experience a life they absolutely LOVE.
Through building the Rising Woman community, I learned that many people don’t know where to start on the path…
…Or they don’t know the next step to take.
…Or they feel like it’s just too hard (why can’t it be fun!? It can :))
…Or they feel deeply alone.
We can’t do this alone. I certainly couldn’t.
I’d love to know...
- Do you feel like you have a strong community of like minded people who are on the healing path with you?
- Do you feel confused about what next step(s) to take on your path?
- Do you feel like the Path is hard sometimes and you just want more connection & fun while you grow?
To awaken to the truth of who we are, there are 3 Core Pillars.
 |
MentorshipHaving aligned guides and teachers on the Path is essential. I still have beloved teachers and mentors and always will. The right mentors can give us the tools we need to heal our wounds, shift our patterns and step into our true nature. |
 |
Inner-GuideWe all have an inner guide within. This is your intuition, your clarity, confidence and self-trust. Even if you aren't sure how to contact that part of yourself yet, it's in there! Our inner guide is the one who takes the teachings from the mentor and utilizes it in the moments that count. She’s the one who has your back no matter what. She is your greatest ally. |
 |
Connection & CommunityOne of our basic human needs is to belong. It’s important for us to feel like we are a part of something. Especially on the growth path, it can be so lonely when we’re surrounded by people who aren’t growing. You deserve a space to be yourself, to grow alongside other like-minded people and to know you belong. Having community on the Path is deeply healing. |
I’ve taken these 3 these Core Pillars and created something really exciting that I can’t wait to share with you..
