Movement is sacred!!

As we witness the global awakening of consciousness, there’s a resurgence of the sacred, a return to the age-old practice of ceremony. Weekly, monthly, and quarterly gatherings, moon circles, and celebrations have become regular, both online and offline, offering diverse modalities and a profound exploration of our true selves.

I personally facilitate ceremonies, and the beauty and benefits they bring are undeniable. For many, ceremonies serve as a powerful transition, delving deeper into self-discovery beyond the confines of their established relationships, especially with their bodies.

Yet, in the vibrant tapestry of today’s community, there’s a notable trend – a multitude of individuals immersing themselves in ceremony after ceremony, whether involving plant medicine or not. While this is undeniably beautiful, I observe that some are steering clear of movement. There's a reluctance to engage in activities that exert pressure on the nervous system, activities that involve strain or stress.

Tantric principles teach us that everything in life is sacred, including movement. This prompts the question: why is movement so sacred, and why do some avoid it? The truth lies in the profound connection between movement and our emotions, blocked energy, trauma, and deeply rooted beliefs.

While ceremonies often induce relaxation and community connection, movement takes us deep into the body, activating parts of ourselves that yearn for acknowledgment. Over time, I've learned that the body is the most intelligent part of us. It serves as a bridge between heaven and earth, connecting our soul to this earthly realm. It demands to be felt and expressed.

In the collective, I've noticed a pattern where many approach their womb space, sacral, sexual, and bodily experiences last. In contrast, my personal journey led me to confront these aspects first due to the immense pain I experienced in my body. This doesn't make me superior; it simply highlights the transformative power of connecting with these aspects of ourselves.

I emphasize the importance of returning to our bodies because, for much of our lives, we've unconsciously employed damaging coping mechanisms such as alcohol, porn, food, avoidance, projection, anger, numbing through drugs or smoking – all to evade feeling the pain within our bodies.

In the current landscape of conscious awakening, I observe a paradox. Being in the body seems too dangerous or painful for some who have spent years seeking enlightenment in the 5D realms. The avoidance of embodiment, despite being awake in the 5D, is a form of self-suicide, a form of avoidance. This isn’t shared to shame or judge but to encourage you to explore this aspect of your journey.

Coming back to your body is the greatest gift you can give yourself. Our human experience is about feeling, about embracing both the light and dark. Just as seasons transition, we must become friends with our shadows, our human body, and the deep pain we carry.

How do you embark on this journey?

Consider an intense uphill walk, a different yoga class, a breathing technique, dancing, or any movement that brings you back to the deep knowing that your body is not an escape; it's a temple. If you're struggling, I have an exciting offering in January 2024, a journey back home to your temple, providing techniques for energy cleansing, connecting with pleasure, and embracing your body daily through movement and breath.

I’m thrilled to bring this transformative journey to you, and I hope you have a beautiful week.
