📍Liberation Starts Here
Guided rest experience tonight in the sanctuary
With an endless list of concerns and threats demanding our attention right now, the question often comes up: Am I doing enough to help? Where do I even begin?
Or maybe you found so many ways to help that you’re now looking down at what you’re carrying and fearing that if you don’t put something down soon, not only might something fall and break — you might just break, too.
However you’re experiencing this collective call for change, many of us are looking for answers we can trust so we can do our part in stewarding liberation for all beings. Now I actually don’t have the answers to any of these questions for you, but I do know where you can find them. Within yourself — with rest as the portal.
I’m talking about asking our intuition. And at the same time, I am well aware that this is easier said than done in a world that is designed to distrust ourselves and distance us from our intuitive abilities.
Patriarchy depends on self silencing and abandonment and healing the connection to our voices is a shared wound in the Soft Power founders’ story. So how do we repair this channel to our own inner wisdom?
Start with rest.
I define rest for myself as presence with my body and honoring its needs. Often time that looks like laying down in silence, but it can also look like nourishing myself, moving my body, or songwriting. Its simply giving myself what I need.
For those of us that did not grow up watching our caregivers rest, it can seem trivial or like an indulgence to prioritize our bodies and their needs with so much else that can use our attention. But nothing could be more important.
Empire knows the power of your attention. Media headlines, pressures of survival, and environmental disruption intend to overwhelm and split our energy in every direction but toward ourselves and our creative power.
Your presence is a spell for liberation.
When you give your focused attention to your body and your inner world, you are rejecting the distractions of the state. When you pause to listen to your inner voice, you are disconnecting from the whispers of colonialism and supremacy. When you allow yourself to be in connection with the Earth and other artists who care, you are choosing your experience of reality and strengthening your vision so you can carry it with you everywhere you go.
Tonight I’ll be guiding a rest experience in the sanctuary for those who need a dedicated space to connect with yourself and your inner guidance. Informed by frameworks of Usui Reiki, Espiritismo, Hypnosis, and the spaceholding principles of my fullspectrum doula background, this is intended as an energetically neutral space to hear your own thoughts, liberated from all outside influence.
