Beloved Bodywork

I don’t have words really-For the depth of gratitude I feel for my dear teacher, My life was touched by him immeasurably. Every experience we had together was a medicine that still vibrates. Thank you for helping me learn to love myself so deeply. Thank you for influencing me with such detail and such freedom. For being so devoted to one ancient text for your whole life, and letting echo and touch so many of us through you. .radiance.sutras I miss you already, yet when I listen in I feel you everywhere.

Blessed to have known and loved you. I can’t believe it’s been nearly two weeks already.

Musings

I’ve been trying to figure out what is the opposite saying for “if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all”

whenever I feel the upwelling of love, admiration, appreciation for somebody in my life over something small or large, and I reveal that- the impact is beautiful.

The gift of uncovering that people have influenced me, that I have been listening.

What if you didn’t hold back the truth of love and appreciation when you have it to give?

There is something quite deep
about building a relationship
over time with a non human being,
that embodies a totally different kind of wisdom
than I could ever have.

This tree has been a great friend to me over
the last 8 years or so.
I am aware that we won’t get to spend
our whole life time together
so lately, I have been RE-MEMBERING
To spend time in contact, movement,
conversation, to feel into what’s there.
Imagine spending your whole life in one spot.
Life around you moving spots and locations.
Staying steady amongst all of that.

This friend has witnessed my joy
My voice
My wildness
Steadily listening.

May you befriend the trees around you.

An ESSENTIAL place to feel belonging is in your beloved BODY.

My deepest purpose, is to help others and myself deepen into love of our bodies, where we are getting to experience this life.

I want you to feel the sense that you are at home, and belong IN YOURSELF. 💜🩵🤎

What is the quality of energy within the way that you touch to yourself? Is it loving? Is it hateful? Is it judgmental? Is it neutral?
Wherever you are on the spectrum. There is room for more love. More kindness. More tolerance. For me-I had to start with neutrality. And sometimes I still need to come back to that. There were parts of me that I had distain for. That I had to practice just allowing to exist exactly as it is. Over time, as I have made it a practice to touch myself on purpose-more and more has become possible.
How you Touch yourself matters. Your body is always listening. For me, and for so many of the clients that I’ve worked with-we have discovered together that overtime deep tender parts of the self will speak, when a welcoming space exists.

My longing to be intimate with life
woke up stronger today.
Because I recently remembered,
that the sky is all around us.
That we are on a planet hurling through space.

That the form that I am now will die.
Yet for now, while I am alive in THIS way-
The spec of dust that I am,
Is for some reason colliding, with
Other particular specs.
People, plants, breath.

For me, I want to be in the dance,
of wonder that swirls around in my mind,
And connection with the present sounds
Touch, light &dark.

To feel the questions inside,
And listen for the answers
From the moment itself.
