Yes to not pushing away the disturbance or feeling like we have to embrace it and fight with it. Yes to being present to our embodied wisdom and moving forward with love. Your words give me courage.

This is so true and beautiful in its rawness. Dance to embody the reality of this world, to ground the feelings and emotions, align oneself with the earth and universe and answers what to do will come...

Sherri Mitchell (Native American) mentioned somewhere that the energy has to be lived. We as humans seem to have forgotten, or don't want to know, how we can use the energy of the ego, the energy that makes it possible to connect and brings out what is living inside ourselves, so we can take our space and place in our life. When pain stays unheard and is not recognized in its essential telling, it turns into aggression. Instead of building life up its teared down. And becomes a painful and paininflicting reality. Better dance it ...!

Thanks for this writing Cynthia.

Sheri Mitchell’s’ Sacred Instructions! Her wisdom and her book help show the way.

Yes it sure does! I love listening to her too, makes me breathe.

The world would be a different place when this would be commonly shared and teached.

While I was cooking today I thought about your experiences as you shared them and reflected on my own. It makes one humble and open for otherones stories and lives.

Thanks again for sharing.

Thank you for all of this: the rawness, the synthesis, and the feelings past and present.

It was Eros that burst forth in a Big disruption to call forth life and Agape to gather and bind as evolution continued to expand and expand and gather… always transcending and including what was before to create anew .. on and on it goes embracing the chaos of disruption as it brings forth something new from something old…

We are on the leading edge of evolution surrendering and allowing the New /Novel to continue the process of becoming…

Let’s dance w the chaos with our hearts wide open to create heaven on earth…..🙏💥💥💥💥🕊️💓

Dear Cynthia, your writing is honest and strong and vulnerable all at once. It, like your other offerings ie Art of Ensoulment, invites me into my own strength and honesty of being. Thank you.
