OWN THE KINGDOM WITHIN YOU

The Womb is the gateway where spirit meets matter. 

The valley spirit is not dead:

They say it is the mystic female.
Her gateway is, they further say,
The base of earth and heaven.

Constantly, and so forever,
Use her without labor.

There is a spirit that haunts the valleys that mystics know. It has the female characteristic of preferring to withdraw. It is like a gateway through which man attains heaven; and heaven reaches man when he is receptive to its nature and open to its influence.'' /Lao Tzu 'Way of LIfe'/

When the Man or Woman become aroused they are reaching, yearning to enter heaven. When a Man wants to place his body inside the body of a Woman he wants to enter the kingdom of heaven. The Woman holds the Womb, the kingdom of heaven literally in her body. Is this the only way the Man can access the kingdom of heaven, we may ask? No. If vigilantly practiced and shown to him, this kingdom can be found also within the Man himself. No Man lacks this kingdom within him, but many kingdoms lie dormant in a Man. The same way a Woman's own Womb can lie dormant. Even though she holds this kingdom very viscerally inside herself she can be disconnected to it. She can not know her Kingdom as it lies asleep. Therefore, often it is the act of Sex that awakens and connects the Woman to her kingdom and awakens the Man to his attainment of heaven. Many don't know another way but Sex to attain this heaven. So through the act of Sex we come into our bodies and take ownership of our kingdoms of heaven, we embody ourselves. Embodiment is the act of connecting up, the meeting place, the confluence of matter and spirit. We ground, we anchor the spirit into the cells of our bodies. 

''It is like a gateway through which man attains heaven; and heaven reaches man when he is receptive to its nature and open to its influence.''   

Heaven is attained only when the Man (meaning both woman and man) is receptive to the nature and influence of heaven's impact. If Man fears heaven's impact and is dictated by this fear, heaven cannot be reached nor can the benefits, wealth of such place or encounter be mined. No matter how close you get to heaven if fear keeps you from surrendering to it's influence you will have not received heaven's gifts. 

Heaven awaits us, but do we dare enter it? Are we ready to be influenced by it's nature? Or rather, do we dare to claim this heaven, this kingdom that lies within us?

And, do we appreciate, have we honored, paid our respects to those that have helped us connect with this kingdom within us?

Most importantly, we are the butlers of our own kingdoms as well as the Kings and Queens. Woman, connect to your Womb and kingdom, know it, feel it! Honor that which lies within you and be vigilant about whom you allow near and into your kingdom. Man, honor that which lies within you and do not use Woman as only source for that which you hold inside yourself. Instead, allow the woman to guide you back to yourself.

HUMAN, DON'T WASTE TIME

Human, I want to tell you this and please listen.
I have seen humans beat each other to blood
kick the life out of one another just because of their sexual orientation.
I have also seen loved ones lie to each other's faces
hide truths that would bring about freedom and growth.
I have also seen so much transformation and healing take place,
I cannot put into words how moved I am by some of the choices humans have taken, great, wise choices. Choices of emancipation!
Yet there is still so much pain, so much fear among us humans on this planet. So much suffering. Look around. But Human, there is a lot of joy to be had here on this planet! We must let go of this suffering. Each and every single one of us needs to let go of the burden of suffering, the damage needs to be healed.
Human, go out and speak your truth! Be who you are. Find out who you are and be it. Dig deep and mine gold! Stop playing small. Don't waste time on mediocre existence if you know you are here to do much greater things. Go and be great! Life is short. Stop letting your fears dictate your life. Stop pushing away people who you feel hurt by but who you want in your life. Tell the people you love you love them. Care for them. Look after their hearts and respect them. Look after yourself. Invest in yourself. Be your own priority, always. Acknowledge what you truly want and live it. Keep this clear knowing in your heart and this state of being will create the life you want. Do not waste time in escapism. Acknowledge those impulses but do not perpetuate them. Learn self-control but know when to give this control up and surrender. Express your emotions, express who you are. Do not suppress, oppress your feelings as that will make you sick. Cry. Be angry. Don't try and escape these feelings or get rid of them by taking control of others. Your body is yours and everything that you feel is your responsibility. Move your body. Live this life! BE HERE! Be awake and see what is presented, given to you in each moment! TAKE LIFE, but use it wisely, but take it. This moment, this experience, this information. Take it and decide what you wish to do with it. Your choice is your freedom. Life will let you waste it if you so desire, that is the nature of life. It will allow us to do what we wish with it, to even destroy it, to forget it, to ignore it or even deny it's presence. But one day it will let you know about it's existence and wake you up. And we all know those knocks are not usually pleasant. So Human, don't waste time. Wake up now!

CHILD, KNOW HOW POWERFUL YOU ARE!

I want to give children a chance to get that which I never got at school. This is a message to children, youth, parents, teachers, everyone who once went to a school.

When, teaching, I first meet a group of children & youth I want to begin by telling them this:

I love you. I love you all with no exception. You may not believe this as I don't even know you, but the truth is that I don't need to know you to love you. I believe each of you as an incredible and powerful human being and I really wish all the best for you in your life. I want you to grow up being a cool, honest, sincere happy human being. A human that loves themselves and feels safe in the world. I want to help you to become that. I care about you. Why do I care about you?  You and I are very alike, we all are in this life together, we all fear, we all hurt, we all get angry, we all feel the same joys. We all want to be loved and we all don't like being betrayed. I understand your struggles. I want to help you understand that confidence does not lie in how great you do in school, the brilliance of your grades will not guarantee you a good life. It's your attitude to yourself and your circumstances that governs the quality of your life. What you believe about yourself has much more power over you than any teacher, any grade, any success you may ever have. I want to help you find who you really are and I want to help you see that any ideas of what your parents think you are, what your teachers tell you about you or other children have told you about you are to some degree irrelevant. You need to look inside yourself and find out what is there. Each one of you is different and unique. Please don't compare yourselves to others. You are not supposed to be like those others, you have come here to be you! Don't be afraid to be who you are. Life has created you and life wants you, that is why you are here. 

When I was your age I was a very lonely kid, school life was overwhelming, I would get bullied, I was an uncool geek who earned her dose of love and attention by doing her homework thoroughly and studying hard. A teacher's pet. I had very few friends and when it came to navigating, figuring out how social dynamics work I was an alien. I was quite sure that I must have come from a different planet. Kids didn't want to play with me. Until this day I sometimes have a feeling of being unwanted, unneeded and not fun to play with. The reason why I'm sharing this is not to pity my case, no, I am mentioning this because I want you to know that that time of my life had a very strong impact on the rest of my life. What happens for you now, what you are doing now will have a strong impact on the rest of your lives. The things we do to others can really influence their lives. Because of that I want you to really think about how you treat each other. It's very easy to be unkind to each other. It's much easier to say all sorts of rude and horrible things to one another than to care for one another. My challenge for you is to ask you to really think about the motivation behind your actions. Are you motivated by the desire to hurt another because you yourself feel hurt or are you actually trying to help another? What is it that you are feeling and what is that you want? You need to understand this: each one of you is so immensely powerful. You have such a huge impact on each other. Understand this please because it is this understanding, the understanding of the power you hold inside of you, that will make you a strong human being. We have immense power and we have huge impact on this world and others. I want to help you see your power and I want to help you use that power wisely. You can create miracles but you can also create wars. So much lies in your hands. You may think you are powerless, small, unwanted, but actually you are powerful beyond measure and so needed in this world. 

Now that I have said that, let's have fun and put this stuff into practice and action! Let's see now how this stuff actually works in life. Learning should be fun. And if you guys are not having a good time I am probably not doing a good job, either that, or you really don't want to learn. Below is a video of some of the content of my work. I combine physical theatre, drama exercises, therapeutic processes, movement and fun.
