"Allow shame to find no home in your posture, in your dances, in your aura, in your lovemaking sounds, in your dreaming spaces, in your every single desire," - India Ame'yeThis episode is an exploration of releasing shame, guilt, and fear from our bodies and rekindling our inner magic.Through poetry, storytelling, and recommended practices of somatic wisdom and inner reflection, this episode of creates conversation around what it means to let the soft animal of your body love what it love and wants what it wants.Most saliently, it asks a few important questions (left here for your courtesy to journal about after listening):What does it look like to take the best possible care of myself in this present moment life-situation I find myself in?What would I do if it didn't have to be perfect? Or good? If the inner critic in my heart wasn't watching, judging, and eclipsing the inner child who just wanted to try?If you take anything from this episode, let it be this:You do not have to be good. You do not have to crawl on your knees for hundreds of miles repenting.You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.(Courtesy of Mary Oliver, Wild Geese.)--Want more?
