The Body As Your Lover, Consort & Partner For Life.

Inspired by “Women Who Run With the Wolves” Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph D.

The Joyous Body Clarissa Estes 

You take this body with you through all parts of your life

The meanderings of your wanderings like a river through a valley

You find yourself going up stream or down

Getting caught on the sides of the banks only for a time

Then shoved off by a current that encourages rapids of change

You find the edges of safety once again along the shore

The ebbs and flows of the ocean

The tides of the ocean like seasons in life

As cycles that crash upon you then through you

As you bear the waves of change 

Taking you down, tossing you around and finally back to solid ground

The earth holds you

You are home

A woman of soul knows how to juggle the earth energy. She bears the energy of growth, creation, fertility and serenity. 

See yourself in this interactive journey through your senses. Using your body to imbibe in the sensualty of life. 

See the body as your consort. 

Trust your body and your instincts to feel.

See your body as your master of navigating life. 

The body as your loving vehicle to juggle the elements of life.

Be witness to your whole self.

Allow the movements and sound to assist you, aid you, heal you as you embody your whole self and transform

Water as energy transforms fear of being immersed

Or lost at sea 

Or stranded

Not to give in to fear of losing your breath

Secret to life is to hold on to faith 

Hold on to the body and the heart beat that bears witness to your life

To refute all assaults on hope on truth

To not give in to the fear of being unsettle or prevented from moving forward even if you don’t know where you are going

To not give in to uncertainty.

Water heals, softens, transforms

It brings things up and buries it back down

It comes and goes as it ebbs and flows.

The secret to fire energy is not give in to your fear of getting burned by the things you juggle in life

The scars we bare are from the fires we have juggled

By practicing playing with fire,  you do not give in to your fear or being afraid of setting things on fire

Fire can sure cause pain but it also brings warmth

Fire inspires and transforms

Let your trouble and worries be burned by the fire within

Fire and earth will work you, exhaust you, wallow you up and spit you out burnt

Until you understand the strength and withstand it all

No matter how dense or how tall

Wind 

Arms and movement of in and out up and down up and through

So below and above

As you move with wind energy feel the excitement of its chaos 

Its ability to get you off course to lose balance

You may lose your bearings or of feel blown off course 

Feeling lost in choreography of movement and life

Find within the ability to play with wind knowing you have the ability to create from chaos and destruction

Find the body ability to navigate in the midst of chaos

How the intuition guides you each step of the way

As life sweeps clear, reveals, brings surprises. Offers new ways of thinking and creating

The wind inspires and transforms

A woman of vision learns to cultivate the wind every day
