I see you now
somatic poetry, practice, and prompts- from The Spirit of Mother
I see you now… I see how in the birthing of crystal babies, you learnt to mother yourself. How rage fueled the fire, of your desire to rise higher, for each time you were consumed, with the burn of your unmet needs, you took that yearning, kept on learning, alchemizing lead into gold. I see how you've matured to forty years old, how you spent time with the parts of you, that were stuck in the cage of the age, they became your protectors, how much those parts became projections, how your introspection, tranmusted their pain into sweet nectar. I see how your years of veiled devotion, have put so many things in motion. How all those moonlit dips in the ocean, hot salt baths with crystals and flowers, were part of the potion you were concocting, for reclamation of your power. I see now how the hours and hours, you spent in the forest, were the recipe for your soul's restoration. How this was a safe place for your gestation, for calling forth potent creations, for aligning with the vibration, of your dharmas manifestation. I see you now, I admire how you’ve grown, how you navigate the unknown, how you’ve learnt to let go. I see your fullness and shine, your connection to the divine. I see how you took the time, to be with your invisible parts, with moments that broke your heart, how willing you were to fall apart, to know your whole truth. I see how you’ve untold the lies, that once owned your mind, how dedicated you are to being kind to yourself, that in so doing you’ve acquired great wealth. I see the abundance of love you have, for every version of self you have befriended. I see how you tended your flame, even when it felt like all your spark, had burned out. I see how you still face doubt, but meet it with curiosity. I see your courage and creativity, weaving a basket with the red thread, of connection, you’ve found your direction. You have undergone resurrection. Through these connections, you found the reflections, that taught you to be courageous, your curiosity became contagious, it will now be advantageous, for your souls creativity to flourish, now your spirit feels fully nourished. I see your body's poetry coming to life, I see now… you have entered the season of your, fullest expression.
Practice: Seeing Yourself
You’ll want access to a mirror and a journal for this practice. Begin by rubbing your hands together vigorously, create heat, and then cup your hands over your eyes, breathe deeply for 1-2 minutes. Release your hands, open your eyes and view yourself in the mirror. Gaze into your own eyes, and then scan your face, then allow your eyes to drift around your entire body. Conclude by returning to your eyes, and in your mind or out loud say “I see you now” and then go to your journal and write from that prompt, allowing a stream of consciousness to flow. Simply writing and witnessing. When you feel complete read what you have uncovered.
For extra fun and expression of self, write a poem.
