These are big times.
And they don’t show signs of slowing down or getting any simpler any time soon. There are a lot of people around me in challenge, crisis, and chaos, swept away by external craziness or internal conflict, health problems, relationship struggles and more. Running the program, or perhaps being run by the program ...
And yet here I am. Feeling this raw, incredible, expansive capacity to ride the waves in ways I’ve never felt until now. Stepping up and stepping in – to what sometimes feels like a hurricane around me – encompassing it and transmuting it. Or at least offering a different perspective. Or sometimes just a conscious breath.
This is a new way of being for me, an evolution out of empath and into alchemy: instead of feeling everyone’s intensity so strongly, I’m feeling so solidly ME that I can begin to broadcast my unique frequency into the field. I can see the intensity and be with it, hold it, stay sovereign and watch how just being myself, present in the presence of whatever is happening has the potency to transform it.
It’s not always easy, but it is simple.
And I’m seeing how it affects people, how strongly standing in my power is a force for healing and helping those around me. It’s not draining, it’s energizing.
I didn’t know how to do this until now. I have been learning this, practicing this, since my first Dive experience with Brie and Bjorn a year and a half ago, when I got to feel the vibration of this level of integrity, this level of authenticity, and it resonated, and I kept feeling it and feeding it and it changed me in subtle and profound ways.
Accepting the invitation. Stepping into holding space and loving with a greater capacity than I knew was possible, this couldn’t have happened without this community, without YOU, without ME, without this incredible cauldron of transformation that isn’t even physical, that is a field around the creations of Brie and Bjorn and now me and all of you who have ever been a part of – or have yet to step into – this incredible field.
Imagine walking straight into a tidal wave, without a drop of water touching you.
In truth we all have this power, this capacity. It’s a matter of activating it, of remembering it, practicing it, allowing it. I am grateful to myself for showing up and to Brie & Bjorn – their incredible field – and to this Tribe. Can’t wait to see how our Deep Family grows.
LOVE LETTER TO BRIE & BJORN:
(From a Facebook Post on January 2, 2024)
Being a part of the field that these two incredible humans create has been one of the most transformational experiences of my life. I met Brie and Bjorn at a Cacao Ceremony at the Star House in 2022 and felt like I'd arrived Home. I could literally see the frequencies that emitted from the bowls, the gong, Brie's angelic voice.
I'd found my Soul Family.
And since then I've uncovered my own voice and so much more of myself, my truth.
This past weekend I got to help hold space in ceremony, sing, hold and love people through their transformative processes, and I got to explore even more of Me ...
Words don't remotely encompass what keeps unfolding for me in these experiences, brilliantly held in healing, sound, love and care.
A part of myself, what I might call the divine masculine within me, awakened and arose this past weekend: as I held a woman, crying in my arms while she unfurled her own healing process, I felt in my bones and in my heart how much truth came through when I said, "I've got you." I could hold this woman because I've also got myself in a profound way. From that powerful place, I have capacity to hold others in their intensity, in their experience, witnessing the process so it can transmute and heal. Holding her, without needing to change it or do anything, allowing the space for her to slowly, slowly realize and recognize that she's got herself, too.
These sound healing & medicine experiences are totally activating and transformative.
These sacred ceremonies change lives in profound ways, hard to articulate.
Integration and Un-Coaching with Brie and Bjorn is equally profound, sometimes wrapped in the sound of the shruti box, other times bathing in authentic tears. I'm so grateful to know these two, talking their walk (this is a different way of being! It's not just 'walking the talk' -- they aren't endeavoring, they're embodying already -- hard to describe until you experience this).
Brie and Bjorn, I love you both so much and am overflowing with gratitude and so excited about my LIFE with you two in it!
Thank you for being magnificent humans.
