Embodiment is giving your body a voice. It is sinking into feeling, into that which is viscerally felt by the five senses. It requires iving in the heart, body, and soul and not just the mind. This concept of an embodied woman kept coming to me in different forms. She whispered to me for years: in strangers, in dreams. The divine feminine is expressive, she's free. She feels deeply and trusts her intuition. She follows her own path, knowing she is being guided on her own powerful and purposeful mission in this life. She is nurturing but fierce. She stands for justice. She does no harm and takes no sh*t. The Divine Feminine embodiment is our superpower.
Golden dreads framed her sun-tanned face
Eyes wrinkled from joy, bursting with joy
Plate of veggies, topped with tofu
She blessed it all with hands and eyes open
Then signed the cross
Like a Vegan Catholic Bohemian
I was staring at her but she did not notice
I could tell that she knew something
I did not yet know
I packed toddler into jacket and bottle into diaper bag
As i studied her look, her backpack
She was feasting alone, smiling
Like her and the food were in love
Feral, but well-kept
Untamed, but well-traveled
A High Priestess of sorts
A sovereign sister on a secret journey
I saw her again at a festival
In the wild woods of dancing and trees
Feet dirty, hair whipping
A mad mix of frenzy and joy
Like no one was watching
Body moving, hips leading
Fluid, form, function
It was all things at once,
fantastically authentic
Peaceful disobedience
Not a single opinion at play
High and reckless
Or maybe just free
She came to me last in The Riviera Maya
Perfectly warm in the sun and the breeze
Ocean crashing, wind in trees
Nothing was too loud or too quiet
Eyes closed, I sunk into sleep
She came dancing in the sky
Red roes, red dress, all in motion
Seductive like Shakti
Charming Aphrodite
As fluid as a mermaid in the sea
Calling to me
Speaking with words, showing me movements
That this is the way of a woman
To dance through life
To flow like the water
To move emotion
So it can be felt by the heart
To bless this life daily
Bless body witty soul
Know yourself
The bliss and the beauty
Your power is your purpose
It is not scary
This is your destined time
Give, open, rise, shine
Be extravagant
The answer is you
Let it flow, come what might
Send it out as love
Energy’s never destroyed
Send it out every pose,
And every single pore
As an ocean crashing into the shore
As the textured leafy dancing trees
As the feathery birds feasting on seeds
As the bright fiery lights of stars
It’s all inside of you, it isn’t far
We are the wild ones
We set ourselves free
Our very essence,
Embodiment Queens
Shattering systems
We Break the chains
None are bound
No more lies of temptation
For what is my body, if it is NOT my own?
Wasn’t it given to me?
It sits right here
Inside and around me
She is here
She is me
Piece by piece I become more free,
Embodying the full, true me
It repels some
But they’re not meant for me
To know oneself
To thine own self be true
Is to dance through life
Let others dance beside you
No comparison, no enemies
No wrong or right
Just dancing and free
