Bodypsalm for Restrictions

Come back to love
which has no limits nor boundaries
can move through restrictions
lockdowns, viruses, and cancellations.

Let nothing get in the way
of how the world turns on its axis
the palpable care for each other
in humility and brokenness
where light can take residence
in attention of the heart.

There are many paths
to loving in these times
a well within awaits
when we return to silence
Here is infinite agape
sent on the wings of air
even if we cannot gather
for one reason or another.

In these times
may the deeper love
clothe you in comfort
to know we belong
to earth and sky
and to each other.

Bodypsalm for Marriage

Posted in BODYPSALMS on August 8th, 2014 by Celeste

You are becoming a union of two bodysouls

 a marriage of two solitudes

who remain alone and together

both unique and magnificent

in your individual ways, gifts, personalities, and wills

who flourish in the act of being together

both lovingly and consciously

a duo of longings where flesh and spirit meet.

You are a bouquet of many colors

writing new sentences in the world

for what it means to be whole

in the cup of romance

and companions in this co-creation

writing partnership, which sings in dusk and dawn.

May you know the delight

of each syllable in your lives

as you join in making stories of wonder.

May the wind guide you on this passage

where the deeper love between you

has more expanse than you know.

You have been preparing for this union for decades

and NOW is your time to surrender daily

to the beauty between you

where one and one makes more than two

and you dance together as equal partners.

R e m e m b e r

as you navigate your new journey

you will be sustained on the sails of joy.

Bodypsalm for breakups and breakthroughs

Posted in BODYPSALMS on September 28th, 2012 by Celeste

from Strategies for Surviving series by Dobee Snowber

Release yourself to this new life

Invite in more deeply those you love

Build more community out of those you know

Be sustained by color

Know what you have

Take comfort where it comes for you

Be true to your core

Be at peace – all things work together

Let your angels guide you.

Know you are not alone

Cherish the ones you love

Be all your vibrancy and all your bigness

Live wildly with tenderness

Celebrate your own sensuousness

Drink in oceans of love

Know this is a different country you are coming to

Keep rooting yourself in the earth and reaching for spirit

both run through you

Don’t worry about all the details

Live as the arbutus tree

let your skin shed in its season

and let each season b e

Let the grief pass through you – it will pass

Return each day to your center

and live from the greater LOVE within you.
