Previously at Samhain, we asked the ancients: what is my magic?
They answered: your magic is:
your unique and precious essence
+
your deep embodied connection to the source.
Put these two ingredients in the cauldron.
Stir it up.
You have your magic.
At Imbolc we ask the ancients:
How do I become intimate with the source of life?
They answer: through your body.
Intimacy is a skill like any other.
Developing our skills requires practice.
Practising intimacy with our bodies and with life means:
Listening and responding
Trusting what is emergent, not that which you think will emerge.
Having the courage to feel what you feel.
Seeing ourselves and the world clearly, releasing old patterns of judgement, blame and criticism.
This Imbolc, we are choosing INTIMACY.
Intimacy with life, with source and with our sacred bodies.
This closeness, this intimacy, the warmth of connection that we feel when the flames of intimacy dance between us: this is what makes life meaningful.
Isolation, to the human mammal, means death.
When we come back to the body, we are never lonely. All of life is here with us, within us.
Are you ready to feel alive and intimate with yourself like never before?
