The Golden Oath of Desire: Aligning with Your Sacred Longings

Angela Rivero ON: The Golden Oath of Desire

In this episode, we explore the transformative power of desire and how it serves as a guiding force in your life. Desires are not just fleeting thoughts—they are sacred information, the Golden Oath of Desire, pointing you toward your deepest truths, passions, and potential.

Segment 1: The Sacredness of Desire
We begin by understanding that desires are much more than wants—they are clues to your soul’s journey. Desires are sacred markers, guiding you toward what truly lights you up and fulfilling your deepest needs. When you honor your desires, you’re making a promise to yourself, a commitment to your true path. This is your Golden Oath of Desire—a vow to trust and act on the sacred callings within you.

Segment 2: The Daily Practice of Desire
I’ll guide you through a daily exercise to help you connect with your desires. Writing down your desires—big and small—is a powerful way to honor the sacredness of your inner longings. This practice is about freedom, curiosity, and fun. As you start writing, ask yourself: What lights you up today? What do you truly want in this moment? And remember, your desires are valid simply because they exist.

Segment 3: Desires in Relationships
How do we express our desires in relationships without feeling vulnerable or misunderstood? Here, we’ll talk about the importance of expressing desires with enthusiasm and clarity, without attachment to the outcome. Desires are not about controlling others—they’re about aligning with your own truth and inviting connection. When shared with the right energy, desires create space for deeper intimacy and mutual understanding.

Segment 4: Gratitude as the Foundation
Gratitude is the cornerstone of transforming your desires into reality. It shifts your energy, creating space for your desires to manifest. In this segment, we discuss how to cultivate gratitude daily, and how it serves as the bridge between your current reality and the life you desire. When you’re in a state of gratitude, your desires are amplified, and you begin to attract more of what you want.

Segment 5: Somatic Awareness of Desire
Desires are not just mental—they live in your body. By tuning into the sensations of desire, you connect with your body’s wisdom. I’ll guide you through how to use somatic awareness to uncover the underlying feelings and needs behind your desires. The body is a compass, and when you listen to it, you begin to navigate your path with greater clarity and ease.

Segment 6: Complaints as Unexpressed Desires
We often find ourselves complaining when our desires aren’t being met. But complaints are often unspoken desires in disguise. In this segment, we’ll explore how to shift from complaining to understanding the deeper longing behind your frustration. By acknowledging these desires, you can start to express them with clarity and compassion.

Closing Thoughts: The Golden Oath of Desire
Your desires are the Golden Oath of Desire, the sacred promise you make to yourself to honor what lights you up, what brings you joy, and what aligns you with your highest truth. As you move forward, remember that desires are sacred information—they are the compass guiding you toward your true path. Honor them, express them, and watch as they transform your life.
