Awakening Your Dharma Seed
There is a barren desert hidden in my viscera,
where a version of me has been for ages,
thirsty, alone, hearing only wind.
Even now, though, the thought of wind
brightens me, like a long-lost uncle
tickling the trees.
Visiting the ocean and floating
in her warm, gentle arms
near the Mexican whale nursery
was like wind chimes reaching that place
where nothing had touched for eons,
was like the face of a friend
I thought had died, appearing suddenly,
windblown, glowing.
And now:
I cannot numb anymore this ache
of loneliness which has followed me
for generations.
There is a rumble in my body
like tectonic plates,
rearranging.
This next seed vibrates
an underground thunder,
hooves of wild horses
stampeding through dust
toward the smell of water
toward the smell
of water...
Oh, my heart.
Oh, my ancestors.
Oh, my children.
Kiss this seed with me.
She is all of our seed.
She is the memory
of the star
that birthed us all.

How is your personal longing tied to collective liberation?
Where does your deepest pain show you the edge of the path your soul is called to walk in this life?
My experience is that when we have the courage to step into creatorship with our life and to transform the wounds caused by trauma and conditioning, destiny emerges through the cracks.
Right now, we are seeing lots of cracks in the collective structure.
Regenerative medicine teaches us to tend the terrain. Cracks expose weakness, but seeing the points where the terrain is weak means we can better determine what's missing, and fill in the gaps with necessary nourishment.
Sometimes revelation looks like shock, but the gift in it is clarity.
We are not powerless to respond when we respond from the deepest place of our soul. I know this from being physically handicapped and unable to stop the shock that ravaged my health (physically, mentally and emotionally) when the vaccine tore through my terrain like bullets (literally, it felt like that).
When I look back on that experience with a mindset of curiosity and opportunity, I feel I've been given a dharmic task to extensively study and map the journey one embarks upon when healing the gap left between body and soul due to injury, trauma, or the harder-to-track, often-nebulous soul loss that quietly lingers in wider culture where generations previously got lost along the way and hadn't finished putting the pieces back together when we were born.
That journey I have mapped for you to the best of my ability in the Body & Soul Sanctuary, and I look forward to sharing a taste of it with you at our Spring Equinox ritual gathering next Wednesday March 25th at 9 AM PST, which is free to attend.
You can enter the call via the CALENDAR TAB at the top of the Body & Soul Village page on SKOOL.
In tender reverence,
Elizabeth
