Your Shattered Pieces Are the Building Blocks for Your Temple 💔
So many people I know, myself included, have come out of the last two years of constant intense levels of stress feeling shattered.
I have been mostly in bed feeling very sick from December through to March, with an excruciatingly slow recovery arc to now. I am only just able to return to my life’s work.
In the rubble, are the pieces that I will use to build the next level of work coming through me. The next level of service. The next level of authentic expression.
And so it is with all of us who have a deep Soul calling to serve through our work. To uplift, empower, enrich, inspire and help others return to wholeness. To facilitate others to embody their greatness. To take that longest of journeys, from the head to the heart and belly, with the support, knowledge and resources needed for such journeys.
Walking through experiences that make us feel shattered is part and parcel of this journey.
Learning how to put our pieces back together IS the function of those experiences.
Only then do we have something truthful to offer those we came to serve.
Facilitators of transformation, of healing, of inner/outer growth … teachers of any modality that is ‘wholing’ ~ that takes people from disconnection to wholeness such as Teachers of our beloved dance, we don’t just build businesses, we build temples. The work comes from our innermost sacred spaces, out through us. The higher calling is beyond the mental. It is whole; mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual all wrapped up in one.
The higher calling is beyond the mind. It is whole; mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual all wrapped up in one.
So if you are feeling like you are shattered in a million pieces and you don’t know where to start to get back into teaching our dance/healing/facilitating women’s work/starting your soulful business …
If you are feeling less-than the others who seemingly just picked themselves up and started as if two years of trauma didn’t happen…
If you’re feeling ashamed and feeling so empty you can’t contribute anything ….
Take heart. You’re not alone.
Earthquakes bring us to our knees, and break our house into rubble.
If this has happened to you, now is the time to heal. And what you are called to do next will be inside that rubble. Your deeper work. The work that your heart has been gently tugging at you to give your attention to it; to find it, to understand it, to own it, to articulate it … to share a medicine you have inside you that is aching to do its job in the world.
The Sufi’s say “Your dysfunction is the window to your soul”. Inside the mess, are the raw materials for your next level of expression.
Part of why the last two years has been so devastating on some people’s nervous system is that Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) take on the energy of what is going on around them, and have to deal with that as well as their own mental/emotional/energetic content. Many of the beautiful women who come to our dance find a haven in it for their sensitivity. Finding ways to move and be, that open their being up to new possibilities of healing ~ to finding wholeness. Also, under normal circumstances, HSPs feel the pain of disconnection deeper than non-sensitives, because we feel everything on a deeper level.

Our dance was born in ancient lands, expressing deeply whole, grounded, and rooted ways of being and doing.
The west received it, and as it does with everything, split up its parts, dis-connected the whole, and made it a mental version of a very soulful healing, whole movement modality.
If you ever felt an ache inside, that something was missing, that’s your Deeper Knowing, and it is totally true. Something is missing.
Listen to the whispers. If you are called to teach, you are a Keeper of The Flame.
Your eternal Spirit knows the whole version. And knows what’s missing. Trust it.
Follow the inner whispers guiding you back to wholeness. They will not go away. They will only get louder with time, and when you hit middle age, they start shouting.
It’s your Soul calling you to take your personal Hero’s Journey ~ the one that takes us from the smaller broken~to~bits version of ourselves, to the Queen that we were born to be.
May all love surround you.
