Your Body is a Portal

In my classes this month we've been exploring the theme of possibility

So I've been thinking a lot about how our bodies are portals of possibility.

How our bodies act as a bridge to connect us to what's possible.

Because it's our bodes that hold an innate capacity for growth, connection, pleasure, joy and love. All of that aliveness and potential lives in our bodies.

Just like a temple, the body is a sacred place to commune with what's wise and what's brilliant, to commune with what's most natural to us and what already knows how to be free.

Nature knows how to be free and so do our bodies.

And when we're centered in our bodies we come into this really alchemical place...

Where we can connect to what came before us, to what's ancient about us, all that happened in order for us to be here today in these bodies, millions of years of resilience and love that existed for us to be here.

And also where we can connect to what is yet to come, to all that is possible, everything that could potentially evolve and unfold from this moment.

Our bodies sit us right between what's ancient and what's futuristic.

Cultivating presence and reverence with our bodies creates a center line, a portal:

To connecting with what's at our back, remembering where we come from and the support and wisdom that inhabits our bones.

To opening to what's in front of us, imagining possibility and dreaming the worlds that our hearts believe in.

A place that alchemizes the pain we've inherited from a system that profits off of our body shame and disconnect.

What would it be like to welcome a transformed relationship to your own body?

To remember the powerful wise one that it is?

To reclaim the depth of potential and possibility that it holds?

It's your birthright to let your body be a gateway to fully enlivening connection, to potent pleasure and joy, to everlasting love and liberation.

And what I think is most beautiful about this as a practice is that nobody can take it away from you.

Take a moment to be what that, to breathe with that.

Nobody can take your relationship to your body away from you.

As much as they try or as much as it feels like it, they can't, not fully.

And if you have a challenging time connecting to your body in this way, that's OK, and very normal, especially if you're a trauma survivor. I invite you to reflect on something in nature that opens you up to a sense of possibility. Is there an animal or a plant or a place that gives you a feeling of potential?

For me I often think about butterflies and their glorious transformation.

We can look to nature and archetypes to mirror back to us our own beautiful becoming, our own potential

Anything becomes possible when we attune to our body's magnificent power.

Here's to remembering. Here's to reclaiming.

I would love to explore this remembrance and reclamation with you.
