As 2017 comes to a close I’m feeling a deep and warm inner space, a space that at times in the past may have frightened me yet today feels ripe as a birthing sanctuary. A space where I can feed myself with endless possibilities and potentials. I am learning to dance with my rhythms, with …
This space became more and more accessible and expansive as I practiced a gentle, loving and open awareness…an awareness filled with a sense of wonder and awe as I rode the wave of my breath one inhale and exhale at a time. I began to notice that my mind became expansive as well creating images …
