There’s an ancient feminine wisdom embedded within your bones, wired into your DNA, and flowing through your veins - and she's meant to awaken within you, so she can RISE, and guide you on your journey, whispering to you where you are meant to go, what you are meant to do, what you are meant to say and to whom. By following this inner wisdom’s guidance, you tune into the Sacred Feminine Intelligence that’s present in all of life – an intelligence that knows how to guide you - step-by-step - to a life where you can be authentically you, weaving your light, love and beautiful soul essence into your world. This podcast is dedicated to helping you awaken this feminine wisdom within you, through interviews with leading spiritual teachers, shamanic practitioners and wellbeing experts, as well as through many guided shamanic journeys, guided meditations and mystical prayers. For more inspiration visit https://www.cissiwilliams.com/podcast-awaken-your-inner-wisdom

Start your day with tuning into the loving energies of the Divine Mothers of Darkness and Light, so you let them guide you throughout your day.This prayer has been inspired by some of the teachings found in A Course in Miracles, weaved in with the divine wisdom of the feminine.
This is a very powerful prayer to the Divine Mothers of Darkness and Light,  which moves you through your own rebirth, awakening an ancient wisdom that lives inside of you.You'll surrender to the Divine Mothers all that which you are meant to let go of, so you can let the Wise Woman within you RISE once more, helping to birth a new consciousness into being.This prayer emerged through me when I was sitting in Chalice Well Gardens in Glastonbury, and I could feel Her whisper to me.It was recorded on one of the live online training modules on the Shamanic Energy Medicine Training, where the students move through an intense healing journey, awakening their inner Mystic, Healer and Wise Woman.If you want to learn more about Norse Shamanism and Seidr Magic, then you may want to come to my free Seidr Magic webinar on the New Moon 25th of June.

In this meditation you'll let go of what's holding you back and what's meant to fall away, so you instead can create room for something new. You'll also receive a new vision, like a new seed, which you are meant to nurture until it's ready to blossom in your life.If you want to learn more about Norse Shamanism and Seidr Magic, then you may want to come to my free Seidr Magic webinar on the New Moon 25th of June.

In this guided meditation the Black Madonna will help you heal the masculine and the feminine within you, helping you to come into balance. Through this healing journey you’ll also receive the gifts that she has kept safe for you – gifts of wisdom which you are meant to share with others. I had my own first mystical experience of the Black Madonna in a little chapel in Glastonbury, the Isle of Avalon, so as you listen to this meditation, let yourself be held by her loving medicine, and feel how you are transported to the magical realms of Avalon (Glastonbury).
In this episode I’ll be taking you on a magical shamanic journey, where you’ll first journey to the Land of Ice, noticing all the frozen thought patterns that are buried deep within your psyche, and then you’ll journey to meet the Dark Goddesses so they can help you transform these old wounds, releasing  the hold the past has had on you.You'll then journey to meet the three Norns, powerful archetypes of time, who are weavers of the web of life. The Norns will help you weave more love and light and grace and blessings into your life.I recommend you do this very powerful shamanic journey when you are wide awake, as it is one hour long, and see it as you setting aside sacred time to give yourself a sacred shamanic healing session with your soul as your shamanic guide.If you want to learn more about Norse Shamanism and Seidr Magic, then you may want to come to my free Seidr Magic webinar on the New Moon 25th of June.

Release the old you, so the new you can be reborn 💛We're in a very powerful rebirth portal right now, and this healing and restorative shamanic journey with the Norse Goddess Freya is then perfect to do, as it fills you up with so much light, that it's easier to have the energy needed to move through this rebirth.Freya embodies the golden light of the feminine found in your ancestral lineage. For you, she may of course manifest as Freya, but she might also show up as Brigid, or Mary Magdalene, or in whichever way this radiant, magical, golden feminine energy appears to you.This deeply healing journey allows you to shed the old you, so the new you can be reborn. At the end, you’ll spend a few minutes writing a letter to yourself, from this golden light of the feminine, which is found within your heart (and in your core).Trust this golden light of the feminine to be the midwife, guiding you through this rebirth 💛If you want to learn more about Freya, Norse Shamanism and Seidr Magic, then you may want to come to my free Seidr Magic webinar on the New Moon 25th of June.

In this shamanic journey Mary Magdalene will be your guide, as she’s the mystical heart that embodies both heaven and earth.In this way, she can help you dance with the seasons of darkness and light, seeing through the eye of your heart, whilst weaving your heart’s loving wisdom into your life.On this journey you’ll be guided to the Isle of Avalon, the heart chakra of the world, situated in Glastonbury (England, UK), where you'll be connecting with the Red Spring (divine feminine), the Tor (a hill that is the gateway to the Otherworld), and the White Spring (divine masculine).This journey is from Chapter 8 in my book Your Heart Knows How to Heal You, which features nine shamanic journeys (one at the end of each chapter). All readers gain access to the audio recordings of these shamanic journeys.You can find out more about the book Your Heart Knows How to Heal You here.
In this episode you’ll meet the amazing Denise Linn, author of several bestselling books and oracle decks.Denise’s journey into the mysteries of the soul began as a result of a near-death experience when she was only 17. She was shot, and through her recovery she was initiated into her spiritual path – a path that led her to explore many healing traditions, including those from her own Cherokee ancestors.In this interview we talk about her latest book: The Gift of Low Self-Esteem: How to Turn Your Deepest Doubts into Your Surprising Superpower.I absolutely loved this book – and I absolutely adore Denise – you’ll notice this throughout the interview, as her guiding wisdom helped me heal already back in the early 90s. I would not be the person I am today if I had not come across her guided journeys.They really, really helped me heal and connect with the light of my soul.She’s one of the reasons I love shamanic journeys so much – as I know from my own experience how powerful they are.And when I read her latest book, and realised how she – during that time when she was such a beacon of light for me – was struggling with low self-esteem… I could also witness that incredible strength in her, because she had managed to turn her low self-esteem into a surprising superpower – and in such an inspiring way.Which is very much the medicine she brings to our world – deep wisdom woven with a light-filled inspiration, that embraces the full spectrum of our humanity.🌿 Find out more about Denise at deniselinnseminars.com 🌙 To join her amazing Mystic Café she runs with her daughter Meadow – an online community for mystic encounters, personal discovery and soul journeys – visit meadowlinn.com
This episode is a short extract from my book Your Heart Knows How to Heal You, and this time we meet the Spirit Animal Guides Eagle and Phoenix.I’ll also guide you through an inquiry process where you begin to discover the medicine Eagle and Phoenix bring to you – a medicine that is very relevant at this time of year, when we are in the season of rebirth. As this is an extract from the book, I here mention briefly about Gullveigr, who became the First Völva - the first one who ever practiced Seidr Magic (Norse shamanism). Gullveigr is actually the Norse goddess Freya, and in the book I share more about this ancient myth found in the Völuspá (it's featured in the chapter which dives into the medicine found in the fourth heart chamber - the medicine of rebirth). To find out more about the book, visit cissiwilliams.com/yourheartknowshowtohealyouYou also find the book on Amazon, Simon and Schuster, Barnes and Noble, and Inner Traditions.
