Sensing in Mexico

March 22nd/09

Sacred Sensual Splendor 09 #2 began last night. We are 12 this time diving body. self and soul into the heart of our sensuality, spirituality and creativity here in Mexico. I so adore having my dear sisters here with me. This morning as we returned from the beach for breakfast, I looked around in awe of the beauty that surrounds me in this stunning place and how very blessed I am to be able to invite you all to share it with me.

We will spend one full day in each of the 5 stages of VividExistence so today we are enjoying Sense all day.

Here we are using the beach as our sand box to explore the felt sense experience of our energetic boundaries and how we can more consciously use our boundaries to increase an authentic sense of self both with self and others.

We empower ourselves when we acknowledge our right to choose our boundaries in each of our encounters. Our boundaries are not so much about keeping the world out, they are more about affirming our sense of self so that we can choose the level of contact that is true for us in each instant. In this way we create opportunities for intimacy with others be creating greater intimacy with ourself first.

When we betray ourself by not respecting our own boundaries, we become fragmented, meaning that the body splits off from the soul. When the soul leaves there is no opportunity for real intimacy.

As I write our sisters are practicing Qigong with Peter, resident energy guru, and later we will Vividance together on the beach, and then end the our first day with a sacred sharing circle.

More tomorrow when we dive into Ground.
