This is Coyolxauqui the dismembered goddess of the moon. She was torn into parts by her brothers when she tried to save her mother from the god of war.
Coyolxauqui can easily represent our work trying to pull the different parts of ourself together.
Our delightful inner child, once hurt, can get hurt the most because they are the most vulnerable. Our unhealed trauma can overwhelm us.

Besides being the four directions and the four forces we deal with most, fire, water, air and earth, the elements inside of us are also the same elements within the universe. Once we recognize the elements inside of us, we can also recognize the elements outside of ourselves. We are universes inside universes. When we recognize we are a universe inside another universe, then we can create and manifest in the outer universe. We can connect our hearts to the outer universe with our love frequency, to attain balance, manifestation and intuitive abilities.

This is Chicomecoatl the young goddess of the corn. She works with Chalchitlique the goddess of the water to offer life-giving corn to people. She is the woman of the seven serpent skirt. Seven is the number of our Tonalcayos or chakras. She is close to us, as she embodies what our body needs from the earth.
Chicomecoatl, like our inner child, is young and fresh. She can help us tap into that beloved, sweet part of ourselves who wants us to play, love and laugh more. She can help us remember not to worry, as we are connected to life and sustenance just as she is. Chicomecoatl can help us nurture the healing power of play and not be afraid of our uncomfortable emotions. We are as resilient as children.

This is Chalchitlique the goddess of rivers, lakes, oceans and importantly, the goddess of fresh water or agua dulce. She is also known as she of the jade skirt. Working with her to help recover and heal memories of the inner child can be very sweet, like agua dulce or sweet water.
Chalchitlique can nurture our inner child whose whimsical and fresh attitudes may have been suppressed in the past. She can wash away our tears and remind us there’s a safe emotional space, which she rules, where our inner child can cry, play, laugh and dance.
Fear, guilt, shame, overwhelm and despair are original wounds needing to come up to be held, seen, healed and welcomed home.
