How would it be to fully inhabit your body? To get into your body, fill out your body, so you can listen, respond, and choose from your awakened embodied self.
What might happen as you get in there? Its a powerful place…your BodySpirit. Might you learn to see, feel and trust your direct experience and knowing as the primary source of your wisdom? As your primary connection to ALL that you are…to the Spirit of you?
What if you began to let go the internalized negative and distorted images and story about your female body? Let loose the diminishing stories held in your body, let them unravel to find a deeper truth. What might happen if you unwound the lies that hold you small, hold you separate…and what if you allowed the awakening of your instinctual wisdom, your potent power and enduring love? I wonder…what might happen next?
Whoo, I feel a rising up in me…I feel the swell of the ages of women who knew…women who knew the power of trusting themselves and the natural world, who worked with the rhythms, the remedies, the rites of life and time. These women, instinctual, potent, enduring…these women are US. We carry these women in our bones, in our blood, bodies and beings. We are these women…muted by modern life. We are these women…numbed by the unnatural rhythm of 9-5, quieted by ‘too big’ hips, ‘too full’ bellies and the stories we tell our self that quiet the rise of the righteous embodied power we need NOW.
We can awaken this wholly woman within. We can connect with her juice, her outrage, her grief. We can re-member her within us, pull her out and back together again. Through this body…following the simple invitation… to focus inward, curious, hunting for the impulse, the stirring of movement…and following that…that right there…following that and noticing. Waiting, full of our own attention to see what is next, and next, and next in this moving body…and we gather all this. We gather and ground and build our capacity to see the jewel that awaits… the jewel of YOU, quietly waiting for your return, right there she has been. Waiting for you to tire of distractions and feel the pull of something deeper in you, something more…calling you home to the treasure of YOU. Welcome home I hear, welcome home…I wonder…now, what magic might happen next?
