In the Wild

Swimming at twilight

Still water breaks before me in
inky green-black ripples

Castle lake is
a cathedral of stone, water, moss and branch

The stillness broken now
by the sudden crash of an osprey catch

I catch my breath

Lofting above,
Archetypal dance of bird and prey

Such ancient order
and sure death
in this graceful dance of life

Green Gods, White Fairies, Buddhas and the Stuff or pure magic

The stuff of dreams and fables and mythic love stories...

Last week's voyage to the sacred temple city of Kamakura yielded embodied resonance of may lifetimes as a Rinzai Zen monk - the quite nobility of a lineage that continued the graceful life-ways of the Samurai long after their warrior-priest culture had been subsumed by Dynasty. So beautiful! Walking the grounds of Kencho-ji Temple awoke in me the stillness of dependent co-arising and oneness through the mindfulness path.

I was floored by the temple containing the statue of the Buddha upon his enlightenment. Emaciated, a bony presence, he emanates light. A snow leopard looks up at his feel. Above him is a great white dragon, carrying the pearl of unknowable wisdom in her great claws.

Sitting in the temple contemplation garden, I felt no impulse to move - a great calm and peace flowing thought me.

On the way out, an unusual Quan Yin beckoned, here pure heart of compassion held also in a globe in her stone hands. Truly divine!

Later, at the Bamboo temple - the pure voice of natural harmony. Wordless harmonies in the lovingly manicured garden. The vertical peace of bamboo. The green-gold light of late afternoon sun through a wind touseled canopy.

And, at the last moment, the extraordinary visitation of this White Fairie. I turned and saw her. Such a being of light in the green folds of bamboo eternity.

Deepening the Dance - Elemental Ecstacies

I am in so much gratitude for this dance of light! I have been working with my own light body and with groups through dance for 20 years. Lately, I have been holding group Grid Activation gatherings using Meditation, Subtle Movement, Ecstatic, Somatic and Shamaic Dance and Light in Japan - with incredible results. So many people are waking to their multidimensional selves through TRUE, FULLY CELLULAR EXPERIENCE OF IT! It is only through full integration of our physical and emotional bodies that we can fully bring this transcendent beauty into immanent "re-all-ity."

For any of you interested in deepening you dancing integration of the light, here is a template: Dancing Freedom through the Elementals.

These core energies lense the five fundamental textures and geometric layers of the created universe through which we EMBODY. Working with and through them allows us a full spectrum return to wholeness, and thus to embodied Oneness. (I call this PeaceBody.) In my own work, the layers of the hologram of embodied Oneness necessarily includes EVERYTHING. This work integrates a timeless Mystery School understanding of the Elementals (primarily through Vedic Teachings), with the contemporary wisdom of Somatics, particularly of Body Mind Centering, Authentic Movement and Feldenkrais.

Begin with Earth, always returning to HOME base. Then, work with other elements as suits your process.

EARTH is your foundation, your bones, your I AM HERE-NESS on ALL planes as lensed through the gift of a 3D body. It is your willingness to co-create with the descending aspect of love, otherwise known as GRAVITY. Earth also calls you to truly explore your willingness to BE ONE WITH THE MOTHER. Can you actually lay and play on the ground - a developmental return to your infant self and our mother-womb-original connection to both your physical mother and the Great Mother? EARTH also calls you to recognize and honor yourself as a distinct being, and to clarify boundaries and hold space for the unique and contained aspect of your consciousness (and body) through which, we enter into a heightened and clear dissolution of separation.

WATER is the feminine aspect of connected flow. Your connective tissue and fluid tissues, as well as the 80% water matrix of your body represent the communication and connection matrix of your multidimensional self, the willingness to flow while staying connected, the willingness to empathically harmonize with all that is. The connective tissue especially represents your I AM CONNECTED-NESS, partnered with your I AM SURRENDERED-NESS, and your I AM EMBRACE. It is your willingness to feel without attachment, and your FLUIDITY with the unknown.

FIRE represents divine will, and is held primarily within the muscles of the body, as well as within the digestive, assimilative and eliminative aspects of the body. Fire is your ability to get behind your I AM presence to activate your I AM DIVINE ACTION, I AM DIVINE WILL, I AM DIVINE LIGHT, I AM DIVINE POWER. Fire is the force of our passion for Oneness, for unity in diversity, for Love in action. Use fire to spark the outward gesture of union. ALSO, use fire to transmute. Within the dance, the twin flames of Ruby Gold and Silver Violet twine to bring us fully into balance in immanence and transcendence.

AIR represents levity, constant change, permeability, quickness and ease. Air is the masculine aspect of flow - as much mental as physical, completely unattached. It is held both within the breath and within the mental functions. The organs associated with air are the lungs, the skin and the neural tissues. Within the dance, we work with air to fully open the willingness to be as big as we are -within and without - to BREATHE the breath of Spirit and to BE this lightness, expansiveness and wonder. We use AIR to open the subtle sense of touch - feeling the breath touch every part of our INNER-SPHERE (inner body), and every part of our SKIN-E-SPHERE (the layer of our physical bodies that touches the outer world, creating a membrane between us and everything else). Air also re-connects us with WONDER and NOW - the N-atural O-rder of W-onder. It is the element of the Divine Child, reconnecting the Inner child, held in earth, with the levity of eternal innocence. AIR holds our I AM LIGHTNESS, LOVE AND WISDOM, I AM THE TOUCH OF THE DIVINE, I AM THE DIVINE CHILD OF THE LIGHT THAT I AM, I AM LOVE.

ETHER - Ah! Ether! SPACE. GRACE. ETERNAL UNION WITH ALL THAT IS. In the dance, Ether is all the space with, the space without, the quantum reconnection and union with all that is. Ether is held in every aspect of the physical body. It is our I AM presence embodied, in the purity of our union in all dimensions. We arrive at sensing of Ether through detailed, loving awareness of the complete organism, our breath, our movements, our tissues, the space within and through all of our cells, atoms and particles. We also can arrive here through ecstatic release. The organs of Ether are the glands and the cerebro-spinal fluids. I AM FREEDOM. I AM UNION. I AM GRACE. I AM THAT I AM. ONE. ALL. MOVEMENT. STILLNESS. PRESENCE. FULLNESS. EMPTINESS. DIVINE LOVE, LIGHT AND ENERGY. DIVINE LOVE WISDOM AND POWER. HOME. In ETHER, we are welcomed back to the self that is beyond (yet contains) space, time and matter.

Blessed be the Dance.
Love,
Samantha

STARFIRE PRIESTESS AWAKENING

Tokyo - A sacred circle gathers. Again. We are gathering again. The kin of the sun, the sacred sisterhood of the Starfire. Remembering who we are as the priestesses of Anu. Remembering what it is to BE the chalice - the song in the blood. That, we are. I am that. Sangreal. This weekend brought so many blessings. "Leading" a workshop has never been a greater following, or a more transparent act of joy! EAch of the women in the circle brought her unique gifts and challenges so fully. We became fully naked and illuminated in the sacred fires of our own hearts. We danced to remember, to purify, to uplift and to BE. Our sacraments: laughter, sweat, tears... chocolate, frankincense, fruit, wine, pink roses. Touch. Dissolving the separations and the traumas of centuries of numbness and subjugation with the simple presence of deep, present touch free of agenda.

I want to hold these circles with and for women everywhere, re-awakening the codes of our sacred connection to the blood, the body, the love and the light of the mother, the Illumination of the One, and the codes of the Sun. Re-awakening the balance of the divine feminine and the divine masculine with and for the female humans of this planet - and for the peace of ALL beings! As I am called, I know that I will.

Deepest gratitude to Lady Nada and the Kumaras for being with us in our last journey. Traveling out on waves of love and sound to the planet Venus, we were greeted by her in a ruby-gold-rose temple and held int he greatest love-light of her divine presence and wisdom. She came to us, showing us the nature of our own paths as servants and embodiments of the goddess.

To the One, to the Many, to the Mother,
I am in Service, and endlessly grateful.

Love,
Samantha

The Long Journey

This soul keeps moving. I'm calling her home. Right here in my body. Claiming all the beauty and giving it back to the great flow of all that is.

What a long time since I have written. Since my last post, I have been from Tokyo to Shasta, to San Jose, on the Big Island, Maui, and now Tokyo agian.... Around the world in 80 days.
Bliss Blessings:
- New Years with Kerrie Dancing Butterfly, David Wolfe and Crew as part of the facilitation team for the Kalani retreat.
- Dolphin Soul Soar Swimming at K-Bay.
- Our first Soul Dance retreat with a gorgeous crew of Japanese participants.
- Endless rainbows in rainy Maui, and the soul blessings of Kindred Elijah, Thalyn, Varuna, Sarah and so many more!
- Baby whale breaching party in the straights of Maui. Swimming with moma and baby. Legions of Dolphins on the hunt. True peace and beauty!
- Return to Tokyo and the bite of winter. Dancing Freedom ecstatic reunion with the pure feeling that flows through my Japanese kin.

Now what? Open. Creating one step at a time. Relaxing into this being that is me. Releasing unnecessary patterns of doing so that I can BE. Yes. Allow and Be. Dance Free. Remembering there is a rainbow in every raincloud, the sacredness of my choice, the quiet brightness of my awe.

Turn on the LIGHT

A w a k e n i n g t h e L i g h t B o d y

-co-written by Tiara Kumara and Myself

All of creation is a living matrix of light and geometries. We, as human reflections of the light, are now participating in a radical shift in our own frequencies and geometries of light. We call the resulting blueprint, in its higher octave of consciousness, Dimensional Shift. It is this shift that we have been so long working for that is now co-creating the existence of the New Earth.

As we dance towards this new dimensional reality, our human form is undergoing profound transformation. Our very cellular, DNA matrix is shifting to integrate these higher harmonies and frequencies of light and love. It is through this new multidimensional human blueprint that we transmit the Shift to others and to the Earth herself. Thus, we serve as Ambassadors of Light and exemplars of the New Earth paradigm.

Referred to as the Light Body, our new blueprint is a spiritual biochemistry with expanded genetic and DNA structure. It is like a new hardware that enables higher frequencies operating software (social structures) and programming (individual experience and action) to express on the New Earth. It is holographically contiguous with our existing bodies, yet carries frequencies of light and love that have been latent for millennium. This crystalline or silica-based body of light is our vehicle of ascension that transports us into the higher dimensional system of New Earth energy. Also referred to as the Merkaba, the Light Body it is a brilliant gridwork of light and sacred geometry that electromagnetically links our human and multidimensional self with the infinite Universe and cosmic hologram of Love.

As the body of light is continually activated, our cellular structure and entire physiology undergo mutation, cell metabolism is accelerated and latent DNA coding lights up. Shedding bodily density, we experience mutational symptoms, bodily changes, release of old emotional and mental structures and major energetic shifts. We remember who we are as children of the light, whose essential purpose is to love.

Our emotional, mental and social bodies find new patterns of experience and expression that allow for greater freedom, union and grace in our own lives and in our communities. We release ancient memories of separation and open to the Oneness that we are, allowing for deeper intimacy with all of our relations and more powerful connection with the Earth and with Source. We experience many heightened, blissful, peaceful, loving, joyful and insightful states of consciousness. Our awareness expands to know the vastness of ourselves and of all of Creation.

On a practical level, we use these expanded energies to create from a knowing of unlimited potential. The need to create for ego safety or satisfaction is released. In its place is the directive of the soul and the joy of aligning with one’s deeper purpose. Awakening your Light Body heightens inspiration, vision and intuition to support your highest creative potential.

For example, if you are a writer, musician, artist, teacher or in any creative field, you may find yourself expressing octaves of beauty and resonance on an entirely new level. If you are in business, you may find a core of service and dynamic reciprocity in your work. If you are a healer, you can develop higher sense perception and greater ability to affect the transformation of others. No matter what your work, your Light Body and radiating energy field becomes the healing tool.

Awakening our Light Body helps us to develop focus, mental sharpness and vibrancy. It helps us achieve a grounded state of BE-ing that reflects the light of our soul and Higher Self. In this state we can see, sense or feel the transcendent, expansive energies of the higher dimensions and make them an immanent part of our daily lives. This is how the next dimension comes into Existence – through being and acting in these New Earth frequencies that are contained in the Light Body.

Many of us are in the process of making great leaps in the awakening of our light body at this time. This is due, in part, to the cosmic influences and waves of light and that are coming to the earth at this time via the Crystalline Grid and from our local sun via the Great Central Sun. It is also because so many of us have actively chosen to become our light bodies, and we are transmitting the new frequencies with ever greater potency. Your intention and your choice are your most powerful sacred tools available in your own awakening. Placing conscious focus on building the Light Body accelerates shift into higher consciousness. By choosing to consciously connect with all other humans and light beings holding space for this awakening, and by living a high vibrational lifestyle, including association with spiritual community, getting enough rest, meditation, joyous care for the physical body, eating organic foods, and connecting with nature, greatly supports the transfiguration process.

We are the Ones we have been waiting for. The time is now to awaken your own Light Body and to live as though the New Earth is already here! So, please join us on the Crystalline Grid! We lovingly invite your connection and participation. The strength of our unified field is an unparalleled vehicle for assisting in this magical transfiguration of human BE-ing-ness and dimensional shift! Your participation matters - to your own process and to the One. As we increase in numbers, our love and light field expands exponentially. So, please join this exquisite support system to help us gracefully transition into Light Body and the New Earth paradigm.

Little ONE - Evolution and the Inner Child

Little ONE

Inner child-
Listen.
Sacred One-
Quicken.

She is one with your
Heart
From the start.
Never part.

Her shadow,
Your light.
Her wounding,
Your fright.
Her wisdom,
Your might.

She is one with
Your body.
One with
Your love.
One with
Your life stream.

Invite her home.
-s.s.

These last days have brought endless reminders to me of the primacy of the inner child in the birthing of the Light. Each and every one of us has chosen evolution through the earth realms, and it is the layers of our experience that ultimately birth the majesty of our full spectrum awakening.

I am a Divine Child. I choose to know this, be this, embody this, invite this, celebrate. In the face of pain as well as the immanence of Joy.

So it is.

Enter the Dance: Human/Nature

ENTER THE DANCE

We are two. More than one. A community in the minor sense. A communion. We are explorers. Researchers. The body, our territory. Cellular laboratory. Each element a technology. Minutia of intelligences constantly communicating. Layer upon layer of complexity in dialogue. Complexity wed to simplicity. Absolutely nothing extra. Perfect complexity. A bowl of water. Two sacks of water.

Body in relation. He to me. Me to he. Us to gravity, to light, to wood. Us to emotion, in motion. All elements: Earth, Air, Water, Fire. Ether. Mystery and uncreated whisper before the next step, next breath. Ether: the dance of the imagination. Ether, the fractal rose of now unfolding through the heart.

We call on our capacity to relate, to be in the place between heaven and earth so particularly reserved for the human being, a cross upon our hearts. We are bound to express. We caress that expression. We choose to move from the center of being: Crystallized waves yield up the appearance of a dance, of bodies in time, of bodies in space, of bodies/human, of bodies/divine. Giving up choice, we are suddenly whole.

Human/nature is a practice. A collection of practices. An art of showing up, witnessing and translating. Relaxing the knowing. Living feeling. Being stillness and action - BRAIDED.

To dance human/nature is to walk and roll and pause upon this earth as lover, magician and friend. To dance human/nature is to amplify the flavors of relation for the benefit of ourselves and others. Call it performance. Call it practice. Call it what you will, it is our call, our stars, our embodiment we have been given to expand. We are born to be embodied. We are born in bodies because the body, in its moment to moment existence in time and space, is a prayer dance of the infinite loving its-self in finite, fractal form. Loving fully. Loving in solidity. Loving in BODY. We are born to experience THIS! If not, then why have we been given such marvelous tools? Hands, feet, arms, legs…spine? And, the sense organs to perceive the myriad wonder? We are sweet, gawky, wondrous creatures: humans and beings, in nature and form. We are human/nature. That is all. So much: a continuing dance.

Falling Home - again

FALLING HOME

Silence falls in the space beyond story.

The subtle currents take us home.

We are known, human, his-story, her-story.
We are beginnings.
We are rememberings.

We are endings: each one of us complete in the now.
And, we are vulnerable.

In our sharing,
We paint heart resonance across the beyond.
We braid wholeness in body, heart and mind.
We offer ourselves into a space no more and no less
Than human and being.

Our stories show us the shape of home,
Offer up the RASA of hope beyond despair.

And we gather the courage,
the willingness
to stand up again and again,
dance and sing again and again,
love and fall silent again and again
in the face of fear,
unbearable joy
and the slow to dissolve seed of indifference.

We are a small army of gratitude,
Truth fractals unfolding in time and space.
We are living answers.
We are lovers.

Falling, we are given wings.
- s.s. (me)

Naked

How many coverings will God accept before saying no to more coverings? Before saying yes to the pure brilliance of the one who covers? Before full embrace of the I AM that is god, that is me, choosing?

All intelligence is perfect intelligence. When, in nakedness, will I accept this truth and fully forgive myself all of my experiences? When will I accept this truth to learn the perfect lessons of all that I am - in pain, pleasure and in pure emotion?

I am naked, yet still there is resistance to the grace that I am. Let me choose. Let me choose love. Let me choose embrace. Let me choose the full, raucous spectrum of my own creation and expression. Let me choose to learn what I have called forth to learn and to LIVE in this life, and step now completely into the light.

And so it is.
