You are both stardust and dark, grounding soil. You are the heavens of consciousness and the heavy, erotic energy of the life force of earth herself. You are an emanation of life and death every time you evolve or shed an old layer or emerge anew from old pain. You are the sky, sun, water, earth and space. You are everything and nothing, special and ordinary, perfect and imperfect, chaos and spaciousness, peace and conflict.
The in-between space is where life and you meet together, life as it is on life's terms and you as you are, naked and freshly you. The in-between spaces is where the alchemy happens that makes you, well you...where your soul dances in her ever expanding nature of both infinite life force and the finite aspect of this density of form. This life is a giant in-between space, emerging at first from a womb and living, moving, breathing through this existence. It is not as fixed as we want it to be, believing our frozen nature to be safe, to be who we are and constructing a world around us to give us the illusion of safety when our nervous systems tell us otherwise. No. This is not acceptable. This way of living in fear and trying so hard to overcome your basic nature, it's not going to work anymore. There is nothing to transcend. This is the time of awakening into form, of embodying this completely awe-inspiring precious nature of heaven and earth right here, right now. You are an embodiment of the in-between. The path of living into the pleasure of this comes through accepting the reality of death and grief, the cycles of life, metabolizing your own emotions and embracing the true nature of your heart....landing in self-love and pleasure that is immeasurable in the face of all else that is.

We cannot deny others the dignity of coming into conscious relationship with their inner life and, therefore, into conscious contact with Source. We cannot metabolize or take on the suffering of others in any way that is useful to anyone. When we attempt to meet others' in their pain and suffering by taking on that emotional energy and then processing through it ourselves, this is energetic co-dependence. It is an unconscious movement towards seeking safety and connection, towards attempting to escape what is feeling uncomfortable. It is also a survival mechanism many of us learned as children.
What we see in the world around us and in the suffering hearts of those we love often stirs up discomfort, scary feelings of powerlessness to change anything or overwhelming love. We want to do something. We want things to change so we can feel safe and, more importantly, we can experience loving connection. As children, we wanted connection and attention. We still do. It's what we are wired for and our psyches will find any strategy to get there. Unfortunately, these habits become so embedded in our cultural psyche that we start to think this is normal. Normal is not necessarily healthy. Normal is not necessarily love. The best thing we can do is tend to our hearts, look at our triggers and heal our matches, heal our relationship to emotions and discover the essence of what love really is. This will help us first heal and having a conscious relationship with ourselves and source, then we can truly be present with another without losing ourselves or seeking our wholeness in another soul wound. We each have a soul wound. One of the most empowering practices I have found is learning how to harness my soul wound for spiritual power and as a path of connection to source and well-being, rather than something that needs to be fixed or soothed by things outside of me (or in bottles of wine). Bringing true presence and love and compassion isn't about rescuing anyone from themselves or taking on grieving for the collective, it is almost a distraction and a perpetuation of early emotional trauma. It's all pointing the way towards our own healing so we can truly hold space and LIFT EACH OTHER UP rather than us all diving down into the trenches to take on each other's pain in an endless cycle. I'm a huge stand for unravelling this energetic co-dependence and healing the emotional soul wound that is at the heart of what is driving this patriarchal narrative. One. Step. At. A. Time. I am here as a guide, to hold space and walk the path with you and empower you to know your heart. I am here if you truly want freedom. Only you can do your work, but you don't have to do it alone |
