Revolution Through the Vagina
Tending our body - especially our pelvis - with love, attention, and care is a REVOLUTIONARY ACT.
It directly defies every oppressive construct of racism, capitalism and patriarchy designed to separate our consciousness from our body and numb us to what definitely isn't ok.
THE BODY DOESN'T LIE.
Because our nervous system doesn't lie.
When we are present with our body, we can't avoid painful emotions that eat away at us.
When we are present in our body, we have access to all of our own resources to unwind those emotions.
Being present in our body sets us free.
Being present in our body sets us free.
Being present in our body sets us free.
Our body is our best ally. We are always together, us and our bodies.
Our body is the instrument through which we experience our life.
It is the vessel through which we carry our work into the world.
The root of our body is the taproot of our nervous system and our most sensitive barometer. And our nervous system feels EVERYTHING.
How we feel in our body, and especially in our root, directly reflects the state of our nervous system
Right now and always, the medicine we need is already in us.
Lay your hands on your body. Feel your breath move.
Let your exhales be ragged and wild: open the door for everything inside to have full ventilation with your breath.
Touch yourself as if you are touching the most beautiful and precious treasure that exists.
BECAUSE YOU ARE.
This is how we rewire our nervous system; this is how we can meet even our most painful wounds.
Give ourselves love and attention and cultivate intimate relationship with our own body. How we are with ourselves is the foundation of our entire life.
Bring your love and attention to your own body.
Let it wash over you and through you.
Feel your feet on the ground. You have a place here. You belong here.
Our nervous system is like an electrical system that is plugged directly into the earth. When we touch our body with care, we smooth over the burned-out breakers and hot wires. And we recalibrate our system to receive directly from the forces of nature.
We are not separate from the earth.
Our body is the proof, and the way to return.
May we bless this body. May we bless the earth.
Love,
Muse
