Seeking truth through the body
We often seek the answers to the questions our souls send up to us, bubbling up from deep within, in external sources…
We feel the twinge of darkness, the pull of sadness or depression, or farther down the line, we notice pain or “illness” in our physical body and we look to TikTok, books, podcasts, talking heads to bring us peace of MIND…
Your mind can’t bring you peace.
Your body will.
What our soul seeks is EMBODIMENT… The wisdom that stems from our beautiful 3D flesh-and-bone bodies.
Influencers won't cut it.
We are being called to spaciousness, to presence, to allowing moments of stillness and inquiry into the body to bring us the answers, healing, activation, and restoration our souls are seeking.
It's THROUGH the body that we heal, which then allows us to TRANSCEND our attachment to our body and find the deep truth of who we are.
Entering the body can be scary, though. There is much to be seen there, in the depths.
When is the last time you’ve even seen someone who walks their talk without arrogance? When is the last time someone sold you on a pathway to wholeness that is not fast, magical, clean, or tidy?
Being human is not all love and light.
And our darkness isn't meant to break us.
Our darkness brings us initiation into deeper Truth, which happens through the BODY.
We are all CONSTANTLY being sold a version of being human that “makes sense,” is as “easy as 1, 2, 3,” is a straight line that someone else has “walked” so it must “work” for whatever ails us, too.
“This is how you do it. Look at me doing it like this, and buy my course to do it like this too.”
The humans that I fall for are the ones who go deep inside, where most are afraid to travel, who are honest about where they’re enacting false programs in their day-to-day, who feel their own bullshit and release the story and move on to their daily life (which is more magnificent in its normalcy than hanging on to the identification with any story, program, or wounding could hold a candle to).
These are folks who feel in their body where they carry false blueprints and do what they need to release them from their 3D bodies amidst the noise of daily life, the chaos of their children, the continuous step-step-step of time marching on… confident, their wisdom not inflated, and not victimizing or projecting-onto anyone, lest of all themselves.
None of us benefit when we perpetuate the externalization of our wounds, our healing, our stories.
All of us rise as we learn (from each other and from our inner Truth/Source) how to assess ourselves, heal ourselves, and rekindle our own source of power deep within our low belly.
To be human is to have access to the Void, to the Underworld… there’s a reason for that.
It’s not to break us.
It’s not to make us wish for love and light instead.
It is to drive us deeper into our soul’s truth, deeper into what it means to be fully human. To be a carrier of both shadow AND light.
The medicine to get us through is in our body, the depths of our human form, which we tend to and mend over time, over a lifetime, and with a slow and steady hand.
We have spent our whole lives forgetting who we Truly are… it will take a whole lifetime, perhaps, to remember again, to merge into Oneness with that Truth at will, and allow it to nourish us and carry us through all of life.
It feels like life is one never-ending transition lately, which can feel like death, over and over again … So much temptation to escape the body into the overthinking mind (attempts to control), trying to make sense of what is inexplicable aside from the label “sacred portal” … or even better, just “Life.”
ALL of this, is LIFE.
A deep breath, a pause for stillness, a glass of clean water to bring us back when we wish the spiral would just stop.
Stay in your body. Love your body. Trust your body. Allow your mind to rest and feel your animal body rooted into the earth.
From this place of presence and embodiment, your system will feel safe and the pathway, the steps, the answers will arise clearly.
