The journey will no doubt be epic as well as enlightening. I came to your blog today to get comfort for the force of nature that has brought me to my tears weeping and sobbing as of late. What moves within me is the unveiling of the Mother Heart and her strength and expansiveness are both terrifying and wonderful. My "stuff is up" for sure and I feel carried away by the hurricane/vortex/ tsunami- I can't tell up from down, myself from my head trash, light from dark... I'm being asked to truly let die old, visceral patterns of coping and avoiding and frankly, I am beyond terrified. Life is asking me to step into Mother Heart energy and I feel caged by my ego. Yet, I know that all of these tears I've been shedding carry me to a new place, a new level of depth. I just wish it didn't feel so lonely at times, or confusing. Thank you as always for your posts that move me at the soul level. See you in 10 days. Julie,

I came to your blog today to get comfort for the force of nature that has brought me to my tears weeping and sobbing as of late. What moves within me is the unveiling of the Mother Heart and her strength and expansiveness are both terrifying and wonderful. My “stuff is up” for sure and I feel carried away by the hurricane/vortex/ tsunami- I can’t tell up from down, myself from my head trash, light from dark… I’m being asked to truly let die old, visceral patterns of coping and avoiding and frankly, I am beyond terrified. Life is asking me to step into Mother Heart energy and I feel caged by my ego.

Yet, I know that all of these tears I’ve been shedding carry me to a new place, a new level of depth. I just wish it didn’t feel so lonely at times, or confusing.

Thank you as always for your posts that move me at the soul level. See you in 10 days.

I felt this today in yoga. I have been reading the Wild Feminine, about feeling where your pelvic bowl is and releasing tension in the pelvic area. I have started to feel where my core feminine energy is living. In yoga today I felt unselfconscious for the first time (in a small class with 4 friends). I felt my lithe body writhing, circling, opening and closing, moving on all fours or standing, in tight stretchy leggings and t-shirt, and I didn't care what I looked like. I didn't care what anybody might see looking. I luxuriated in the feline movements of the poses, and that is new for me. I think the thing about yoga is that you have to breathe to really flow with it. Breathing and focusing inside are such freeing, home-comfort feelings for me (after years of practise mind you). I don't think so much anymore, I just let my self be drawn....there. the first time I did dance classes in high school, and then joined a theatre group that did a mime presentation of Eskimo legends, I also was in leotards for a week or two, and loved it! But the difference was I was 18 years old and 105 pounds. I could do handstands and headstands and shoulderstands! Today our instructor said, imagine your optimal health, imagine you are 20 again, and that's where it brought me, back to the weeks of leotard and stretching and movement. Hmmmmm wonderful post.
