The Process

What will you do today to tend to your body and surrender all thoughts of perfection that clap and cast a weight and perhaps a hindrance on your movement and sense of freedom. How will you walk forwards a little lighter and freer of the pain you feel. How will you liberate your heart to others; lift the sadness, anger and loses. How will you heal and let go of the brokenness and find a sense of wholeness, safety and stability.

Listen to your body, its needs, its cues and to the guides that enter your life. What are they calling you to do? To fly, to root, to expand, to grow, to deepen. There is a deep and ancient knowing in us all, a voice of wisdom and a relationship, a bond that exists between us and the land. Both the body and the earth are telling you what to do all the time and what steps to take.

By letting go of that which does not serve us, we can tend to our body's needs. By moving into exile, into a place outside of that which we belong, we create space to individualise, to digest, process and rest our placement in the world. We give our bodies the chance to detatch and to relinquish ties that may be hindering our clarity. Out of the wilderness, we can tap into our authenticity and organic natures - and the path will naturally unfold from there
