Sovereign Sisterhood Movement

Something can end years ago, and you can understand that it is over, while your body is still responding as though the loss is happening now.
This is what we often misunderstand about grief. Grief is bigger than feeling sad after someone dies. It is the physical, emotional, and identity-level process of adapting when a person, relationship, home, dream, role, future, or version of your life is no longer there.
Your mind may know the loss happened years ago, while your nervous system is still bracing for another loss, your relationships are shaped by what happened, your breath changes when you remember it, and your identity is still built around who you had to become to survive it.This is also how grief can become generational.
In this episode of the **Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast**, we explore what grief actually does to the body, nervous system, identity, and family system—and how the Lung and Large Intestine meridians give us a framework for understanding the human rhythm of receiving, processing, and releasing.
🌹 **IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:**
• Why grief can stay active long after a loss
• How grief differs from fear, anger, and resentment
• How unresolved grief shapes the nervous system, body, and identity
• How grief can become a generational family pattern
• The **Metal Element** and the Lung + Large Intestine meridians• The rhythm of **receive → process → release**

• Christ Consciousness and **releasing the form while keeping the love**
• The **Self-Efficacy Meditation** from *Tending the Ancestral Garden*
• Simple practices to support grief and release

Last week was fear. This week is resentment, the anger held so long it turned into something you carry in your body and pass down your maternal lineage.

Fear, anger, grief, and stress all live in a real map inside your body called the meridians, and in this first episode of our four part series, I show you what the meridians are, why your emotions get stuck in them, and how fear in particular lives in the kidney and bladder and can finally be moved through Kundalini Yoga chanting and the breath, prana.This is Episode 1 of a four-part series walking the meridians, the energy pathways that carry prana through your body, one emotion and one pair of organs at a time. The meridians are where your emotions actually live and move through, and once you understand this map, your body stops being a mystery and you release the fear at the root. We begin with fear, because the body has to feel safe before anything else can heal/evolve, and fear lives in the Water element, in the kidney and the bladder and is once of the most common emotional patterns that is passed down in lineages.Along the way, this episode shows why understanding the meridians is not optional for women. There is a mental health crisis among women right now, and its real root is a fear that lives in the body and gets passed down the mother line, one that cannot be prayed or medicated away. We look honestly at how women's bodies actually work, how women in crisis have been failed for generations, and the heartbreaking case of Lindsay Clancy, as the proof of why this holistic body, mind, soul-based medicine cannot wait.What you'll learn:- What the meridians are, the twelve energy pathways that carry prana through your body, and why your emotions flow or become stagnant in the rivers - How the meridians work: yin and yang, the six organ pairs, the five elements, and the emotion each one carries- The two vessels up your spine that carry your ancestors' energy, and why restoring flow in the meridians is generational- Why fear lives in the kidney and bladder meridians, and the body clock that explains why so many women crash between 3 and 7 in the evening- The science that will give you chills: your adrenal glands, which make your fear hormones, sit directly on top of your kidneys, exactly where the meridian map placed fear thousands of years ago- Why the women's mental health crisis, and the Lindsay Clancy case, prove this matters now more than ever - The Chattr Chakkr Vartee Kundalini Yoga mantra, why chanting this mantra moves fear when words cannot, and Yogananda's Christ Consciousness teaching on fear and the Cosmic Mother- Plus Three things you can begin this week to move fear out of your body**Chapters:**00:00 You can't pray your fear away02:00 Why this matters for women04:00 What the meridians are07:00 How the meridians work: yin, yang, pairs, and elements10:00 The vessels that carry your ancestors13:00 Women, fear, and a system that fails them: the Lindsay Clancy case20:00 Fear in the kidney and bladder, and the body clock24:00 The science: your adrenals sit on your kidneys29:00 The mantra that moves fear33:00 The Christ Consciousness perspective37:00 Three things to begin this weekWelcome to the Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Sovereign Sister!I am Veronica Barragan, founder of the Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary, Kundalini Yoga therapist, and author of *Tending the Ancestral Garden, Reclaiming the Sanctuary*.

The biggest revolution right now isn't technology or artificial intelligence. It's identity. In fact, it's always been identity. And the reason you don't know who you are goes back generations, it's systemic, and it lives in your body.In this episode I go into the one thing underneath all of our healing: your identity. Because you never get what you want in life, you get what you believe to be. Most of us are living from a false identity we were programmed through trauma, religion, and colonization and it quietly runs our money, our relationships, and how we treat ourselves. I share my own story of releasing my addiction to alcohol through this work, and then I show you why identity is not a mindset issue and where identity actually lives in the body.I go into the science of why you can't think or affirm your way into your authentic self while your psoas muscle and fascia are still braced for danger from something that happened a long time ago or even in a past lifetime. I bring in Carl Jung, who studied Kundalini Yoga himself and placed the birth of the true self at that exact same center as the Yogis did. We talk honestly about who profits when a woman doesn't know who she is, from colonization to pop culture. Then I teach the real science of the mantra Sat Nam, how the tongue on the upper palate shifts your glands, navel, and your nervous system to burn away false identities, and how this becomes the path of Christ Consciousness returning to you to your highest identity, the light you actually. **⏱ CHAPTERS:**0:00 — The real revolution is identity, not technology1:23 — Welcome + what we're covering today3:39 — How we crucify ourselves on a false identity6:15 — Inherited trauma, past lifetimes, and the brain's addiction to the old self11:30 — Where identity lives in the body: the navel point (Manipura)14:31 — The psoas, the fascia, and why you can't think your way into a new self16:28 — The solar plexus, the gut brain, and interoception17:45 — Carl Jung and the birth of the true self at the navel23:40 — Persona, shadow, and the return to the Self27:01 — Who profits when a woman doesn't know who she is30:39 — Sat Nam: frequency, and how chanting rewires you33:05 — The science of Sat Nam: the palate, the glands, the nervous system36:11 — The Christ within and your highest identity39:22 — We are pure light: biophotons, fascia, and the meridians41:36 — Releasing the brace and doing the real work42:12 — How you live when God moves through you44:46 — Closing: you are the gift, join the Sanctuary and in-person circles**SUBSCRIBE + COMMENT:**If this resonated, subscribe and stay in community with us.

Often times women that are accustomed to saving everyone and fixing everyone's problems, deep down are running away from themselves and wish someone would do that for them. This is a pattern that is passed down in the lineage that has to be broken energetically at the level of the nervous system. The agave plant is a great example of this. The plant lives for decades, storing and giving everything it has, and then sends up one giant flower stalk and dies, leaving new plants rooted at its base. I saw one in full bloom in Sedona the week my book was born which is exactly what happened in my own life with the birth of this book, and it is exactly what so many of the women in our lineages have done so you can too. In this episode I read the Invitation that closes my book. Then I explain who the matriarch in our families really was before colonization, systemic trauma, and religion made her forget, which is how she got turned into the woman who gives until she's empty. I also break down Barbault's Basket, the star pattern a French astrologer used to predict the 2020 pandemic more than 30 years ago, and what the planets are doing right now that confirm we have entered into a New Era of the Matriarch risign, from savior to protector. You'll learn where the savior pattern came from, why you carry it, and what the matriarch actually is.New here? I'm Veronica Barragan founder of the Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary and author of Tending the Ancestral Garden, Reclaiming the Sanctuary. I teach women to heal generational trauma through the Ten Bodies of Kundalini Yoga and the path of Christ Consciousness, weaving the science of inherited trauma together with ancient practice.
