energy
I’m revisiting a pilates-inspired dance sequence I learned from my teacher in Rabat. It is short, challenging, and precise, targeting the feet, inner thighs, and back muscles.
On a high-energy day, the sketch takes me twenty minutes. On a low-energy day, it can take me up to an hour.
I’ve been reflecting a lot on the energetic investment I sustain and my energetic influence on others and my environment.
In all my reading, listening, and researching, I’ve gathered that pathologies develop from external or internal influences. Repitition of a thought, situation, or event causes a ripple inside the body: the external moves inside and vice versa.
The things we perceive as separate from self are not; we are in constant dialogue and exchange with the cosmos.
Over time, the ripples (as I prefer to call them) become waves, eventually shaping pathways/patterns that grow stronger and less conscious.
This week's quest has been how to stay present for the things I do every day, which I may not want to do, though I know they suit my body, soul, and brain.
In a recent conversation with my sister, a psychiatric nurse who provides the yang to my yin, we talked about hormones, patterns, people, and how to move energy when we are feeling especially low (depressed) or high (manic).
After a five-hour conversation, we agreed that there are many things we cannot assume because every person is so utterly unique in their preferences, past, and pathologies.
We also agreed that the smallest of shifts can have the greatest impact and that it takes a lot of inner strength, reflection, and release to keep moving amongst the threads of time.
One must accept that life is monotonous and rife with upheaval. To act from the heart/soul body, we must be accountable for our actions―especially the small and subtle.
I've been doing this daily meditation to charge my electromagnetic field.
Afterward, I'm more attuned to my inner state and sensitive to my surroundings.
Sending you love and light,
Sera

The woman waits by the window.
Watching for the dusk birds to arrive.
Root and blossom within my bones
She whispers to the skylarks.
It is always about love for the body.
Blessings loosen those tangled threads.
It is a cold moon, exhaling sonnets
She knots her hair with its wisdom.

Quote of the Week:
Sometimes the one who is running from the Life/Death/Life nature insists on thinking of love as a boon only. Yet love in its fullest form is a series of deaths and rebirths. We let go of one phase, one aspect of love, and enter another. Passion dies and is brought back. Pain is chased away and surfaces another time. To love means to embrace and at the same time to withstand many endings, and many many beginnings- all in the same relationship.
Clarissa Pinkolo Estes
2 questions to brew on:
What is your energetic influence/output?
Where have you placed yourself, and how does your environment add to your energetic state?
