The hair on my arm stands at attention as my life becomes a moving meditation, a quality of a journey that is rare in this land. Almost orgasmic are the gentle undulations of vibrational energy riding the interiors of my body.
A gift indeed, this ability to feel.
And yet, so often in my past, I had sought every effort to suppress it. I retreated into the refuge of addiction and laid wastefully upon a broken spirit.
I fell fast into the blanket of feeling avoided as if surrendering my stance in the expression of the human spirit, seeking only those sensations that delivered joy and warmth.
No one had taught me how to be with experience. No one had taught me how to hold being human.
Of course, as I write this, I am still learning how to truly allow for all to be felt, but I am expanding my capacity with each passing moment.
It is the pacing of my environment that gifts me such an opportunity, and it is my choice to call it forward.
I have slowed myself enough to take notice of the vast kingdom that swoons within my body and soul. It is a land fertile with life.
A reward unto itself for those who dare to dip into the waters of this ocean, to feel all that has been awaiting our presence. A lifetime of suppression now pouring out of my body.
Fearful it can be to give way to these waves of emotion.
And yet, the invitation remains for us all to slow down enough and enter into ourselves so that we may feel what it is to be truly alive. And when we relinquish our fear of feeling, we will regain a power we’ve never known before.
We shall stand truly sovereign in the light of our own Kingdom.
