Throwing Thunder: Awakening the Forces of Nature in Every Woman

by Kendra Ward

Do You Remember Your Wildness?

Thunder does not always speak in bone-shaking, cloth-tearing, cracking, clashing cannon bursts. Her language is not always a purring, growling, shivering reverberation, leaving us expectant. She is unpredictable, moving in her own time, at her own rhythm, a roaming changeling within a crush of cloudscapes with teachings to share if we will only listen.

The presence of Thunder is a shock, a wake-up call of electrical ferocity, shaking something loose in us. As her feral energy echoes through our hollows, it excites a primal longing within us. We know we have the capacity to feel this vibrant, this free, this confident.

Charged with introspective questions and journaling prompts, Throwing Thunder is an immersive journey into the heart of our confidence challenges, awakening the memory that unworthiness does not exist in the matrix of the living earth. An earth-based model of confidence reminds us of our innate enoughness, which exists despite our fears, flaws, and insecurities and the ways we try to separate ourselves from the wholeness of our being.
