We Soar

Certain moments, frozen in time,
thoughts that chase you down
and demand, that you face them,
your back against a wall.

Moments, that take your breath from you,
as you allow yourself to feel.
to hear, to embrace , to finally walk with ease,
a spring in your step perhaps,
as you break free of your fears.

the oyster, holding such hidden treasures,
finally ready to release them,
in this moment in time,
the world ready to receive them.

We Soar.

When the world puts you on your back, you are forced to face your thoughts. The invitation to dig deeper, to get to the core of your thought process. The trauma that led me here, to this moment.
I chose to delve deep. To take responsibility for my own suffering, how it was in fact my thoughts that led me here. At a cross roads, if you like. I could sink, or I could claim ownership and turn this ship of mine around. To finally feel my own worth. It is one thing to know it, quite another to actually own it.

Wednesday I returned to Biodanza, after not attending for quite a few months. Following that age old pattern, of running from the things that are good for me, that nourish me. I had some resistance before leaving, I think that is normal when you want to bring a cycle. Before I left I picked an animal card. I chose the Oyster, which puzzled me at first. I wasn't sure I could identify with the oyster, but then I remembered what it holds and as I read the meaning behind the card, it reflected exactly where I was in my life.

The oyster, holds treasures, hidden inner treasures. But they take those treasures for granted, they doubt their own worth. Which can cause them to withdraw and protect their deepest desires. But choosing this card, was a calling to reveal my desires, my girts, because the world is ready to see them. When I got to Biodanza, we began by sitting in a circle where our amazing facilitator, spoke about the focus of the dance today.. An opportunity to bring our pearls out into the world.

Before we danced, we were invited to share whatever we felt called to share. I was the first to speak, telling the group about how I had pulled the Oyster card before coming, encouraging me to share my gifts and so I told them about my Dance project, how it is very close to beginning, how it would be my offering to the world. What I received was nothing short of love and encouragement for my wonderful Biodanza family.

Then we danced and I felt such a relief, such lightness after sharing my dream, my passion. My dance, flowed through the whole session, as it became clearer to me, that I was very much on the right path.
