Element to element and the intricacy of connection to earth, sea, sky and stars. This is the embodied way.
Once upon a time, there was a connection to this, a knowing. But, in came words, ideas, culture, and other’s wills and voices slowly ebbed away at this knowing.
I knew when it didn’t feel good- even as a small girl. I knew when I needed something else, something better, something more whole. But instead of listening to this gentle and loving knowing, I overrode it as a survival tool.
It’s not a judgment - it is simply a fact.
I can pinpoint many moments of knowing that I overrode. And the results were not good. Even though, at the time, it seemed the best option.
There were also times when I knew and listened. One such day was saying no to the gift of a chocolate bar. A gift, if accepted, meant saying no to my knowing. I teetered on the brink of acceptance. But the knowing was strong.
Trusting the knowing gave me the courage to say no to the gift. This one decision to listen changed the trajectory of everything and got me on the path to self-trust, love and wisdom.
The embodied way is turning into that knowing. It is a sense, an unfolding, step-by-tiny-step that helps us realign with our purpose and our wholeness. It is courageous work, though it might feel like you can’t do it.
Embodiment is knit into our entire being. Embodiment is for you- even if it’s uncomfortable.
One chooses the embodied way. Curiosity is the key, as is letting go of old assumptions and ideas given to us by those speaking from their pain and unknowing.
We don’t have to accept all of the old ideas and habits - but we can use them to inform us to choose a new way. We can tune into the wisdom inside us, trusting we will not be led astray by ourselves.
If you can take no other idea than this - trust that you are already wise and whole. You have infinite amounts of resources around you to strengthen and nourish you. Some of these resources are obvious, some hide- but they are all there and woven together.
The job is to bring out the wisdom, the wholeness and the resources already there. All found In the body, mind, and spirit.
