Into the Wild

"Our human limitations are based on fear and the agreements we have made to be limited. All fear can be processed, and all those agreements are now past their due date and can be removed. Welcome to the new paradigm." -Inelia Benz

I have always been a nomad. Shifting schools and moving homes with my family, exploring the terrain of new roommates, travelling to different lands, discovering my capabilities in many different careers. The one constant - change - coursed through my blood, wild and potently drawing me towards the next step. I dove into teaching yoga, passion ignited, purpose revealing itself with each breath. I learned more deeply of the many layers of self, the energetic centers, the mental constructs, the ego. One by one, my fears began to reveal themselves, sometimes like a silly flasher, sometimes like the dark monster that lurks under the bed. One by one I faced them, I breathed with them, I felt them and poured into their darkest core the light and love of me. The more internal layers of fears have begun to whisper their names, the soft shadows of their presence I observe with curiosity. With these fears have come judgements, discoveries on how I perceived myself within my world, on how other's expectations of me still dictated most of my decisions. Anger, frustrations and hurts that I were not aware of, surface softly, simply to disperse into the ether as I connect more and more of my light to them. As I continue to process, more space within reveals itself, more space for the song of my heart to pierce through. The ripples of bliss have begun their flow. My breath pushing them onwards, upwards, outwards and in.

I am a spiritual adventurer who is committing to face my fears and reveal more self-love. I am a nurturer, a lover, a service-provider. I tend to give more than I receive. I want to continue to soften, to learn to be as receptive as the Earth itself. My heart yearns for water, for waves crashing into my internal emotional ocean. I desire to see mountains, the earth rock solid, pillars of strength standing tall beside me. I want to recharge as I allow myself to receive the coddling of Mother Earth, to bask in my mirror. I have bought a one-way ticket to Lima, Peru. I have chosen to step into the wild. To embark in conversation with my intuitive center, to stop and listen to the un-struck sound of my heart. It doesn't make any sense mentally, physically an occasional fear surfaces, but my spirit is hula-hooping over the moon, dancing and twirling, celebrating with every cell my choice to follow my heart, to surrender completely to what I desire. I am ready. To live how I want to live, to offer what I can, to write my story. I will see where the wind takes me as I breathe with the rhythm of my surroundings, living, loving and learning always. Who knows where I may see you next!

Inhale. What has my decision revealed to you? Within you? Exhale. What has surfaced, what areas of your body contracted or released? What thoughts entered your mind? What do you feel? No judgements, not needed. Let me be your mirror too. It's time to live our destinies, it's time to live our joy. Within the wild can you locate your moving river, flowing from your emotional depths, coursing through your most brilliant body, that river that flows in harmony with the very Source of all that is. What do you want to do today?

"When you do something from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy" -Rumi
