Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time

Dear Embodied Hearts and Dancing Souls,
It’s my Birthday week! No lie it is 9oF outside. Time to snuggle. Love this snippet from the Trommer poem above:
But no. Today, the only message in the trees
is snow. She tries to make meaning of it.
Laughs at the impulse. Reminds herself, Snow is snow. (Rosemerry Trommer)
Also, I created a new snuggly meditation for you (click on podcast below). As you will read, I feel buoyed by a glow in my heart.
There is much brewing. I am trying to find my way energetically: soft, solid, fullness. To further assist you in these turbulent times, I am excited to co-lead an online Body Wisdom tools class with two marvelous InterPlay leaders. You will gain regular experience with your Body’s wisdom and Earth wisdom through play. Check it out.
First some funnies:
My 6 year old niece on the Harry Potter necklace I got her for Christmas (with a locket in the shape of a book): How come there is only one page in this book? (Yipes!)
My 10 year old nephew when I asked his help to look for my purse, “Wait…where did you put it again?”
My 4 year old niece on hearing our cat was having dental surgery, “Is Chandra going to put his tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy?”
Heart Breath. On the morning of the third day after we brought our cat home from surgery, I am sitting in bed able to take a full breath from my heart again. Immediately I can feel my heart light rising, connecting to my breath and filling up my chest.
Oh, I missed this so.
In writing and speaking about Play lately, I’ve been reflecting on how essential those Sunday morning rituals preparing for Dance Chapel were for authentic unfolding. The ritual was essentially a playdate with my Spirit team. In this sacred incubation, I started filling up with my own vibe, regularly, perhaps for the first time in my life. In the perfection of play, I began trusting my Self. Incredibly grateful to
for the invitation and holy space. Who Knew?You never know where play will lead you but you let it lead you!
Constellation. One way my lifestyle is different now than 5 years ago is that I participate in intentional play spaces each week. It’s how I keep tapped into my inner compass. (Of course I’m refer to wise, physical play like InterPlay.)
There is this feeling I have come to know and love when I dance with my Mystery. In these moments, I feel so loved that I know I can trust every inch of myself, every step I’ve taken in this life. It feels like a kiss from my whole Life. Then I realized, oh wow, I actually experience this feeling fairly regularly, often weekly. And its because of the wise, physical play spaces I step into. Grateful to the Master leaders who hold these spaces.
Recently, I was in a particularly poignant Ancestral Lineage Healing session where the feeling was similar. But now, I felt a loving energy embracing the entire placement of my life. Your birth is not random. You are born in perfect placement: placement in your lineage, spaced amongst siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc. and into a specific time span in Earth’s history. You are born into the right place, the right time. It’s like the placement of a star in a constellation.
It’s such a feeling of total love that I wanted to find a way to gift it to you. Hope you feel this embraced in this week’s meditation.
From hesitancy to Glow: By the way, the entire process of our cat recovering from surgery found me simply bowing to my cat’s body. There wasn’t much for us to do outside of administer food, water and medicine. I did buy a specific cat bed which let him feel protected and safe while he slept.
One morning I woke feeling a Thrust in my body. Yay action energy! In one fell swoop I reached out to resolve a lingering issue that was keeping my website in limbo. Heaviness (and stress) started leaving my body mid-week after only a few minutes of improvisational movement and play. By Friday morning, when I was taking in full heart-breaths again, I felt this lovely soft glow, emanating from behind my heart. At the same time, a soft excitement in my belly.
This is so RARE for me as a recovering overachiever. I am taking extra moments to savor it. And here I am following my glow as I head into my birthday (this Friday). Grateful for the flow (including a virtual assistant) but continuing to listen to energy.
There is nothing that lifts me up as much as feeling your glow my playmates. GLOW UP baby! You will love this song.
To your exquisite unfolding. Stay #heartwoke.
