Re-Membering the Body's Wisdom, the Earth's Wisdom

Mystic traditions tell us that our time this planet is sacred. In the time we inhabit these bodies, we have the power for expansive transformation. We live in a culture that values intellect, the acquisition of quantified, linear understanding over felt knowing and intuition. These values reinforce the mind-body split and are reflected in our society's commodification of our own bodies as well as to our "shared" body, the earth itself. The results, as I am sure you are aware are further separation, body image hatred, othering of those who are not like us, a breakdown of immune systems, climate patterns, and nutrient cycles.

Healing is

re-connection

re-collection

re-membering

Attuning life to the seasons, connecting to the felt sense of the body, developing ways of communicating with ourselves and others that aligns with our inner reality. Presence. Re-membering is putting the pieces together to form a coherent whole.

Collecting and remembering the body's wisdom, the earth's wisdom, does not heal all of the disconnect, but it is how we begin.
