Goddess Renata Musings: What Is Your Stance in Life?

I woke up this morning with this question rising through my consciousness: What is your stance in life?

Let’s talk about the biology of things.

As a healing arts practitioner, I’ve long honored the simple but profound principle that the right side of the body speaks to masculine energy—action, assertion, letting go. The left side whispers the language of feminine energy—reception, softness, surrender.

Right side: giving.

Left side: receiving.

When we use just that key, just that lens, to understand how our temple—the body—communicates with us, a whole new narrative opens. A new code emerges. One that can recalibrate, realign, and reintegrate.

Let me use myself as an example.

I’ve had a gimpy left hip for a while now. And sure, I know all the physical supports: bodywork, stretches, magnesium, posture. But underneath the tissue is the thought. The stance. The energetic pattern that invited this message.

Inflammation. Swelling. Pain.

Is it repressed anger?

Is it overuse? A bug bite? A deficiency?

Maybe all of that. But here’s the alchemy: How do you wrap that bundleinto one integrated truth? A new story that invites the body back into balance?

See, I don’t believe we’re meant to struggle forever.

Sometimes our symptoms are sacred messengers—what I call juicy nuggets. These moments are deposits in the bank of abundance. And from that place, we can make a withdrawal of insight. Of new coding. Of body-talk we’re finally ready to hear.

So what is my left side telling me?

My receiving side. My feminine root.

Interestingly, my left leg is longer than my right. Perhaps my ability to receive is long—strong—but not always welcomed. Perhaps I resistreceiving, even while I’m built for it.

It’s true—I can be the proverbial “cut my nose to spite my face.”

I do it more often than I’d like to admit. Sometimes I even enjoy it.

Whether it’s conscious or unconscious, the point is:

It’s a stance. And the body mirrors it faithfully.

Maybe the work isn’t about constant repair anymore.

Maybe it’s about rewilding.

Maybe our stance is meant to be more fluid, more natural, more responsive to life’s ecosystem. Perhaps that’s the call of deep ecology—or the call of the soul.

So pause with me, now.

Ask yourself: What is my stance in this moment?

Where are you right now—literally?

Gimped in bed? Hunched at a desk? On the toilet, multitasking?

Where are your arms?

Your fingers?

Your breath?

Your gaze?

How is your head positioned?

Your shoulders?

Are you clenching anywhere in the chest?

Body speak. Body code.
