✨Thank you is a powerful prayer ✨
•
#Gratitude is when we see from our metaphysical eye.  Our physical eyes may be conditioned to believe they need to see specific things in order to say thank you.  Our metaphysical eye needs no physical proof to tap into the vibration of gratitude.
•
Gratitude is a vibration shifter.  As we give thanks, what happens on the physical plane doesn’t shift...what changes is our relationship to ourself and our awareness of who we are.

🌟RECLAIMING SEX ENERGY💫
•
Easter is a story about Kundalini energy rising.  Kundalini is sex energy.
•
Sex energy is NOT intercourse.  The word sex has been misappropriated in this culture.  We think it just has to do with the physical body and “sin”. Sex is an energy. It’s the energy that helps us heal ourselves, it’s the energy in our mind we put toward focusing on our goals, on justice, on making sure we are aligned with Divine.  Sex is the power we put into our prayers when we are praying real hard and calling on God and our ancestors.  Sex energy is a necessary ingredient in any manifestation and visualization.  To create anything in life it takes our whole self - bodymindsoul.  It takes our root chakra and the dormant energy to get activated, stirred up and projected from our 6th & 7th chakras (third eye & crown). For ages, sex energy has been misunderstood and shamed.  We have created a sex negative culture full of shame around our power, beauty and energy.  Pleasure has been shamed and many of us have learned to feel “bad” as normal and have been told we are “too much” when we permit ourselves to feel joy and excitement.
•
Jesus represents the potential of all humanity.  He represents both the dormant energy that resides at the base of the spine and connects us to our root chakra - that which makes us a human animal.  As this energy rises it spirals like a snake, we awaken to the TRUTH of our being (sat nam). The rising represents the journey through the spine and chakra to be bring us to full (Christ) consciousness.  This represents the crown chakra and that which makes us a soul connected to God.  When Jesus rose on Easter, he and humanity were rebirthed.  A new consciousness was remembered.
•
We are that powerful.  Our excitement and faith creates miracles.  This is the excitement we see when children play, when people dance, when we are just having fun. This is our birthright.  And all it takes is faith the size of a mustard “seed”
•
Easter Blessings! Happy Resurrection! Rebirth blessings!

Pleasure is Holy
•
•
Affirmation & Prayer: I now release all old stories that to enjoy pleasure is shameful.  I let go of matrix beliefs that pleasure is something to fear.  I embrace pleasure as my Teacher, my Teacher that brings me closer to Holy Spirit.  I bow to pleasure.  I alchemize collective traumas that have called pleasure out of her name.  I look deeper.  I open deeper.  I receive deeper. 🙏🏾
•
I am pleasure.  I am Holy.  The fabric of my cells is made of pleasure.

Scorpio Full Moon Vibes

May 08, 2017

Scorpio Full Moon
Wednesday 5/10/17 | 2:42pm PT

Scorpio rules sex, death and taxes.  It rules all of the things we typically work (usually unconsciously) to not think about; the shadow.  Shadows are the areas in our life that we tend to be working hard to get rid of, to not show about ourselves, and/or to erase from our psyche.  It is that thing we go to therapy to fix or that body part we go on a diet because of.  The irony is that the shadow is usually apparent in some way, even though we may try to kill it...it is indestructible.  It is a part of the soul, is a part of God, and therefore can never be erased or killed.  It will take new forms, swim different paths, but its presence will always be. 

I recently started chanting the 18th pauri as a 40 day practice leading up o my 35th birthday.  This pauri spoke to me as it gives the hope to be able to dissolve the illusion between shadow and light.  Chanting this pauri has the effect of, "fights madness, deep feelings of inferiority and self-destructive behavior" (according to Yogi Bhajan). Trying to kill my shadow is self-destructive.  Whatever I do to my shadow, I do to my whole self.  This whole past year has been about reckoning with my shadow and learning to forgive myself over and over again.  In reading an article about this pauri, the author Eck Ong Kaar Kaur writes: 

The shadow forces us to face what we do not want to face, and make peace with what we do not want to acknowledge.

The beauty of Kundalini Yoga is that it brings what is unconscious into consciousness.  As I continue to dive into this pauri, it is bringing me awareness of the discomfort I have around my body.  My relationship to my body is .... dysfunctional?  It is abusive and critical.  From age 5, I learned to say disparaging comments to myself particularly about my physical appearance and body.  I learned to see myself as ugly and to see my body as abnormal and unpleasant for other people to look at.  I learned ways to manage my body; abusive words, controlled disordered eating, and covering myself up and trying to camouflage my fleshy big legs and soft belly.  

Trying to hide is exhausting.  I am still hiding at age 34, the same hiding I did at age 7.  A friend asked me tonight, "What would be the opposite of hiding?"....I responded "Letting myself be seen, not controlling what others see in me".  I feel scared writing this.  A part of myself is judging myself right now, "Shirley, this is everyone's story - you sound so basic writing about being seen!" It is true, this experience is probably very relatable to many human beings, and it is okay that I am sharing my experience.  I have wanted to kill this story and experience for years.  I have wanted to overcome it.  Today as I write though, overcoming feels like a part of the abuse cycle.  I wonder what acceptance could be like.

I think I am hiding from others, but the truth is most people probably can see all this that I am writing about.  Most people who know me probably can see or sense my insecurities, my desperate attempts to hide and my discomfort with my body.  This pauri is bringing to light that the person I am trying to hide from so often is myself.  I don't want to see me, my shadow, or my light.  I want to see fragments that I can criticize.  I am familiar with being critical toward myself.  It scares me to see my shadow, to see God and the brilliance of my psyche dancing as this shadow.

I don't know what to do from here.  I don't know what will happen.  I am not sure I will ever have a  sweet, unconditionally loving healthy relationship with my body.  I also think it is okay that I don't.  What seems most important right now is that I just make space to see myself and practice seeing myself and taking myself in.  Taking it ALL in...flaws and all.  Taking it all in, God and all.

May your full moon be full of permission to take your full self in - your shadow, your light - your stories - your relationships; taking it all in as it is now with judgement or without, but just allowing it to be so that you can see yourself, the same way you see the full moon; as magical, powerful, and whole.
