How do you move back into the routine patterns and rhythms and textures of life and all the re-connections with people and places?
This re-entering process is teaching me to be extremely careful and Incredibly slow and Very Very Very softly gentle.
It could Easy have potential to deeply shock my system if I am not aware. Even the contrast with the 34 degree drop in temperature was initially Very shocking.
Yes, there is So very much to share about this exceptional Colombian Sound retreat with Anthar Kharana (http://www.tribalsoundhealingretreat.com). Yes it would be lovely to catch up with friends and share stories but it is important for me to really drop deep to allow the integration of so very much. Integration is KEY. Sometimes I think people skip that step but I can’t as I understand the medicine of this allowing.
These few weeks were no ‘holiday’ but a depth of soul healing I had no clue about before I went, the land gave me So very much let alone everything else that we did. It is crucial to allow space and time for all of it to weave through and all the rich abundant medicine and wisdom to land thoroughly and completely. To deeply and slowly ground and to allow the energy and the teachings to continue to dance in their own rhythm unveiling more and more insights all the time.
It has been interesting in the past few days to watch the mind and notice no separation. As I returned to work, I can be in my corporate job and still feel the incredible hummingbirds with me. I can have my boss ask for many tasks to be completed and hear the sound of the drum and the crackle of the fire and the dance of the ocean and the melodies of the abundant, vibrant jungle birds and all the strange insects. I can feel the Elders with me and the medicines and the ceremonies. I can do what I am asked to do and Still be in ceremony, still walking my path of Pagamento. There is not one place that is divine and another not, there is not one place that is sacred and not another. There is no separation between the sacred Mountain in the Sierra Nevada Santa Marta in the ancient ‘Heart of the Earth' sitting with a Kogi Elder and then sitting in the heart of the machine with 1,000 other souls, it is what I carry with me and is in my blood.
I am in deep surrendered trusting Devotion and my abundant heart is aflame with a depth of love that takes me humbly to my knees with it’s beauty.
Now the dance really begins….
one… step… at… a… time….
Look, notice and then step…
Softly and gently…
No rush,
no comparison with ANYONE else…
Walking my path,
my way,
every
single
day…
