The Path From Enlightenment to Embodiment
Spiritual Awakening & Sensual Discovery
For many who have embraced the new wave of rising unity consciousness fueled by the desire to live an authentic life in service to the betterment of humanity and protection of the natural world, enlightenment is a concept we feel at home with.
It's the idea that we can look beyond our immediate 3D reality to understand that all of life as we experience it is not as it seems, that there is far more at play than meets the naked eye, and we are all part of a unified consciousness that is the spirit of creation concentrating its energy force to experience itself through us.
As such, Enlightenment is the means through which we transcend our present-day reality to see the greater hand of divinity at play within and all around us.
Enlightenment is knowing ourselves as aspects of the divine and embracing all of creation as sacred.
✨Enlightenment is only the beginning…
Once we awaken to this awareness, what comes next? We are still being held in these 3-dimensional bodies, faced with the challenges of operating within the artificial matrix that holds Earth in thrall, and although WE might know we're God, not everyone else is going to see us that way...in fact, if we tried to explain it, there are many who would write us off as unhinged, crazy, or in the depths of a narcissistic delusion...so, what is the point of being enlightened when being "awake" to the reality of our collective experience is painful, and knowing that we're God doesn't automatically give us access to Olympus?
This is where I have found the path of Sacred Embodiment to be fundamental in bringing a deeper sense of meaning around why my spirit has chosen to be in a body at this point in time.
The ancient mystics knew that we are not simply human beings striving for a spiritual experience in life, but rather, we are aspects of the primordial divine that consciously chose to have a human experience, so we could know what it is like to manifest in the 3d realm, where energy is so dense that a body is needed to actually manipulate the matter around us...this is the essence of Sacred Embodiment.
Humanity is not here in service to the Divine. We ARE the Divine embodied (ie. in a body)...therefore it is imperative for us to exist with full presence in our bodies in order to shape reality and actually make a difference on this planet.
With technology and task lists taking up so much of our mental energy and attention, how often do we allow ourselves time to come down out of the realms of past or future to simply enjoy being in our bodies, working in our bodies, moving in our bodies, generating our own energy and vitality within the alchemical container of our bodies?
Where our attention goes is where our energy flows, so taking time to let our awareness rest in our bodies allows us to build our vitality and focus our attention to create within the present moment.
We can practice embodiment in all kinds of ways, big and small.
One of my favorite ways is this: when I notice that I'm holding my breath or really focused on a mental task, I will pause to take a few deep breaths all the way into my belly and pelvis, and I will give my whole body a little shake to get the energy moving again.
Personally, I love to find ways to weave embodiment into my day to day, so it becomes not only a practice but a natural way of being. It's what gives me the energy, power, focus and fire to put myself and my healing work out into the world, so that I know I am contributing in a meaningful way with the time I am blessed to have here in this body.
On this path, we acknowledge desire as the driving force behind manifestation and creation.
Your desires are safe to be expressed here within a consensual container where compassionate communication, radical authenticity, mutual honoring, and clear boundaries are the ruling laws of the land. So take this time to come into yourself, explore your inner longings, enliven your passion, and discover a new but ancient way of being in relationship with Life itself.
