Bodypsalm for Bodyrest

Reach by Dobee Snowber

You have gone through
a massive shift, your body is calling
you to bodyrest
 time to take in support
beneath your feet
encompass your world
from every small and large place –
friends, family, beloveds,
practitioners: medical and alternative
and the wider embrace of the divine
 the great Love.

We are each called to surrender
to change
 inhabit your bodyspirit
for strength runs through the ruptures
builds from the bends – of life transitions

Now is the time to lean
into the love that is with you
let your body receive
a transfusion of beginnings
here in the invitation

to a new chapter of health
altered from before
an honored passage to a season of clarity
where you will

be free to archive the beauty of your life
 venture into the dawn of desire within
your loss will be your entrance
to a new way of being.

Drink in the support of care

trust  in the landscape of your own heart
beckoning you
to the shore of wellness
breathing you from the inside out

and most of all –

be patient towards all that is not known
rest your head in the pillow of comfort
where you are held
from a much deeper place

and know your pain is stitching you to healing
where you are being
re-created to enter
the magnificence of your own life.

Bodypsalm for Thirst

Posted in BODYPSALMS, Videos on August 23rd, 2010 by Celeste

Notice the texture
of your own yearning
listen for its tone
its shape, the circular
feel of how you are called
back again and again
to its mouth

The inner waters beckon you
they have as much expanse
as the open sea you adore
Be/loved in the breath
which holds you in an embrace
and waits as a patient lover

Rest you anxious one
and find home
in the elements within and without
wind, ocean, stone and sky
reach towards you
as your skin touches
the lip of creation

Listen for the stillness
in the gestures of your heart
and let your belly
usher you into the
crevices of your wisdom

Embrace shadow and light
both reside within you
they are partners in a dance
and form the constellations
of your inner landscape

Trust the salt of your own life
and know paradox is at your feet
and stars of wonder
release from your palms

Tread softly on the terrain
of this journey of being human
and return home
to the thirst within you
it is drawing you always
to the reservoir
where you can drink
oceans of love
and each small movement
is an invitation
to letting BE

Take these morsels
which are given
these are your wings
from which you stand
and which you rise.
