Fierce Love
We are trained away from our rage and yet rage brings not only heat, but light.
Rage when exposed as the fierce love it is, illuminates all that we hold dear. To trust our body as the sacred vessel for transmitting all that makes us human and holy, we transform what’s been rejected in ourselves and in our communities.
Listen For The Signal In The Noise–It’s Your Heart
The signal in the noise of this moment in our world comes from our undivided knowing hearts and expresses itself loudly.
Rage, grief, helplessness, exhaustion, and cynicism, when allowed their due, follow their transformative journey from the heart and back again. It is a regenerative process that allows us to engage skillfully.
Seeds of Quiet Resistance
For some months now, I’ve been thinking about a woman named Elsa Gindler. She’s not a household name but she is an important person in the lineage of somatic education.
Somatic education offers self awareness practices of exploratory movement and self-observation that offers clarity, responsiveness, and authenticity to our lives.
Boundaries & the Boundless Heart
“There’s respecting first your own boundless heart, its wish to connect and a respect for your own limits and the limits of others. It’s tender work that with time brings ease. I know this from my own experience.”
There’s a premium placed on healthy boundaries. Boundaries are necessary because there are people who wreak havoc in our lives. And boundary setting is only one part of the skillful means required in our relationships. Clear boundaries help us to respect our limits. There are people we must keep a safe distance from and often times they are some of our closest people.
Navigating Uncertainty
“If you are open to fine distinctions, you can observe that something in you knows the way home, slow as it may be, it returns you to the center of itself.”
