Embodiment and Somatic Practices Trends Are Not a Coincidence
We've been training for these days
As power unfurls within us, so does responsibility.
We're responsible in ways we've never been before because we are coming into more embodiment, which means more unified power.
We've been unconsciously preparing for this - clearing the tendency to escape the body, resolving trauma with all the acronyms: EMDR, TRE, EFT.
We've been doused in education about nervous system regulation, the vagus nerve, and structured breathwork.
We are now able to bring and hold more of our timeless energy into our time-limited physicality.
I'm as guilty of neglecting my responsibility and procrastinating as anyone else, but the message I keep getting is that curating our thoughts, social media feeds, and conversations matters more than we realize.
People in my circle are leaving X in droves. I have chosen to stay on X to work. There is a stream of people there awakening, talking about enlightenment and the importance of spirituality.
I choose to amplify that stream of awakening on that platform. I will devour every scrap of crap I see and spit it out as pure love.
But everyone has to choose their own levels of interaction with the internet. If it’s too much, exercise your power to exit. If you can bear to hold space for the people struggling, then do so. You’re the boss of you.
And we all have to recognize and use our creative power. Now.
When we take to social media to complain about other professionals, that someone was rude to us, that we're all going to hell in a handbasket, we are quite literally contributing to that storyline.
Educating yourself when you're in a connected state is far different than saying you're educating yourself when you're really caught up in the trance of fascination with fear.
You know, the looky-loo draw of a car wreck? I'm familiar, from my days as an Emergency Medical Technician, how much that effect makes a bad situation so much worse.
Few people want to own the part that digs disaster but that part is VERY activated in the collective right now.
Learn the lines between gaining knowledge and wallowing in the yuck.
Own the part of you that's intensely curious and strangely excited by all the swirling energies and the community of misery loves company that comes with it.
Own the part of you that wants to turn away in disgust, write off humanity, and build a self-contained dome house under the sea.
Or run away to Mars, leaving a colossal fu%king mess behind.
All this push toward embodiment has been preparation for these years of sitting on the razor's edge of choice.
We are infused with power while wobbling like toddlers with swords.
We must step into adulthood to wield this power with conscious awareness and wisdom.
What stories are we speaking into creation with our access to new levels of power?
What tales are we consciously choosing to tell?
Where are we directing our Radiance?
Where are we doing the daunting work of generating love for the unlovable?
We love talking about manifesting our realities, but we've sidestepped the responsibility for doing so.
We have to put these practices, well…into practice.
We can no longer play with fire.
Observe.
Own.
Choose.
