When the world is sitting on your chest
If your chest has been tight for weeks. If your jaw aches when you wake up. If you've swallowed so much that your throat feels full. If you cry at the news, then go numb, then feel guilty for going numb.
Your body is not failing you. It is reading the world accurately.
I won't tell you the danger is over. For queer and trans people, Black and brown people, immigrants, and anyone who loves this earth, it isn't. But armor that never comes off closes us down. We stop feeling the grief, and the joy goes with it.
There is another way to live in this time: tender and awake, feeling all of it, and still able to act.
apokalypsis
AN UNCOVERING · A LIFTING OF THE VEIL
What if this is the death rattle of every
system of domination and control?
It feels like the world is ending. Fires and floods every season. Fascist leaders taking power. Neighbors taken by ICE raids. Every morning, a new terrible thing.
But apocalypse comes from the Greek apokalypsis: an uncovering, a lifting of the veil. What if this is the death rattle of every system of domination and control, and something is being revealed? All over the world, people are waking up to what heals us and heals the earth.
That waking up doesn't happen in our heads. It happens when we feel our grief and our rage and let them move. We can't create a new world in a body still bracing against the old one.
WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE
Five elements, fifteen minutes
A 15-minute guided video you can do on your living room floor, moving through the five elements in their ancient order, from the lightest to the densest, the way your body moves from activation to rest:
1. Fire
Fire for the rage.
Breath, sound, and full-body strength give the anger you've been swallowing a boundary and a vessel, so it becomes power instead of pain in your jaw.
2. Air
Air to move what you've freed.
Breath, and a slow, seated wave through the spine to carry the energy you just release through your whole body, like wind through tall grass, so it doesn't settle back on your shoulders.
3. Water
Water for the grief.
A heart release drawn from my years as a myofascial release therapist, done with your own healing hands, for the grief that hasn't had anywhere to go.
4. Earth
Earth to hold you.
You end on the ground, held by the earth and your ancestors—the ones you prayed you into being.
5. Spirit
Spirit to call back what is yours.
A prayer to reclaim your power, your body, and your humanity from every system that tried to take them.
