coordinates: in the spare bedroom of my friend’s Upper West Side apartment in NYC
I’m in NYC to participate in four days of filming of a documentary short series with Kasia Urbaniak and her school for mistresses, The Academy. She has an excellent book, Unbound: A Woman’s Guide to Power, which I couldn’t recommend more highly.
We continue with week 6 in the final 100 days of the year of becoming fully alive.
Aptly, today’s meditation covers this dragon’s favorite topic… power. Especially if you are a masculine-conditioned being, this is for you.
meditation transcript
Good morning, Today we encounter our raw power. Place a hand or two on your belly. As often as you remember, draw your strength into the base of your spine and feel it flowing upward, filling your heart and sending it all the way up and out of the head. The essence of creation moves through my body I act in alignment with universal forces My strength is derived from this alignment I do not try, I align The essence of creation moves through my body Though at times my effort may be immense, I find true strength when I allow myself to be supported by universal forces The essence of creation moves through my body I choose imagination over effort I choose majesty over force I choose tenderness over certainty The essence of creation moves through my body My actions are informed by the wisdom of my belly and my gut instinct of that what sustains life not by the fears of my mind The essence of creation moves through my body My destiny is my power My power is my destiny Aligning to my destiny reveals the power within me The essence of creation moves through my body
