Welcome back to Week 2 of my new series called Embodiment as Sacred Force for Change!  Today’s episode occurs during a powerful triple conjunction with Chiron, Eris, and Venus in Aries, while the first quarter moon is in Gemini.  We explore how the energy of this moment pushes honest questions and sacred speech.   Eris represents profound spiritual warrior energy, acting as an agent of change, and is a fierce disrupter on behalf of those who have been systemically silenced.  

We use this bold timing to dare to speak about the colonization wound as a living pattern in our bodies, our relationships, and our healing spaces, including the way Eurocentric Western psychology and the mental health industrial complex has tried to strip spirit, ancestry, and land-based wisdom out of care.  We confront how colonization shapes disconnection, disembodiment, distrust, and suffering across lineages, and the path of healing involves daily acts of intentional resistance.  We will remember who we are, and that we are love.  We will relaim our bodies by decolonizing them – one breath, one tear, and one song at a time.   

In today's emobdiment pracitce, we return to vocalization as a pathway to regulation, expression, and energetic movement. The voice connects with the vagus nerve, and humming, toning, and finding a comforting middle note can cue safety and soften the throat, breath, and heart  -- deepening spiritual practice and making space for guides, ancestors, land connection, and sacred speech.
