Your Body is Not a Halfway House

Your body is not a halfway house

Your soma is not a corridor to those who have not yet learned how to integrate into the world. Your psyche is not an open domain for those who have not sat with discipline then the devotional path to the extent they can govern their own being. Your heart is not a repository with which those who lack capacity can use to insert their bio-waste. Your eyes and the depth of their gaze are open only to those who can reflect back to you your soul’s purpose. The openness of your authentic smile is only accessible to those who have created the capacity to honor and stay with your vulnerability, kindness, and love.

You have swam in the icy, turbulent waters of the Arctic. You have earned your emotional sobriety and recovery of Soul that has allowed you access to the Bering Strait of the Divine. In turn, you can now feed off of the nutrient rich waters of the Pacific. The resources endowed within you were hard won, evidenced by the sweat on your brow and and ache in your body. You have paid back your debts, apologized to all you’ve hurt and made living amends so that your karmas are now allowing your dharma to shine through Your back is not a flotation device on which another can use to access the fertile waters and lands of peace, contentment, abundance, sovereignty and joy; the Divine knows we all must swim to get to these shores. From here on out, no one gains entry to you and your field unless it is duly earned.

Stand up with me now. Root your feet into your first Mother. Allow her electromagnetic energy to run up your legs. Now give it back to her. Feel the beauty of self and co-regulation; back and forth, back and forth. Bring your collar bones apart and the tips of your scapula together. Breath into your heart space. Feel the aliveness through which the bundle of nerves pulses in and out of this precious plexus.

Bring your gaze up and look out. You are grown up now. You will no longer collapse into niceness among bullies. You no longer need to be saved, for you now have embodied self-protection. You can stand up and speak up for yourself. No one is ever going to take advantage of you or your vital resources. Breath in, breath out. You are love. You are love. You are love.
