HEALING LOVE MAGIC

“Love has the power to reawaken and bring to the fire what has been entombed or distorted by traumatic forces or has retreated out of defensiveness and self-protection. Without love and compassion for the fragility of human identity in the face of death and the reality of evil, the madness found in these barren spaces of the soul might not be meaningfully encountered. For the stripping away of the constricting cocoon of traumatic fixations and the untangling of what has become distorted and convoluted during painful traumatization, love is needed.” ― Ursula Wirtz, Trauma and Beyond: The Mysteryof Transformation

I believe in the tenderness of the world. I believe in the kindness of a hand. I believe in the joy of a butterfly. I believe in the wisdom of falling apart. I believe in the emptiness of 

I believe in the beauty of being human.

One of my favourite movie scenes ever (and not just because of the Spice Girls moment). The further we travel away from Earth, the further into our radio transmission past we hear until, eventually, silence. Like, right now, the mid-1980's hit "All Night Long" by Lionel Richie is just arriving to Ursa Major, the Big Dipper.

'Heterosexual,' 'bisexual,' 'lesbian,' and 'gender queer' are not terms I use to describe myself. They're too limiting, like every other name and role I've had the pleasure of escaping. In a pinch, I might agree to call myself ocean-fucker or sky-sucker or earth-bonker. As much as I love men and women, they can't satisfy the full extent of my yearning. I need intimate relations with clouds and eagles and sea anemones and mountains and spirits of the dead and kitchen appliances and the creatures in my dreams. To be continued. To be enhanced and amplified and enlarged upon, world without end, amen. One day I really do hope to be a wise enough lover to be able to fuck the ocean. To give a forest fire a blow job. To make a pride of lions come just by looking at them.

What happens when the spine returns to its fluid origins? Bone is connective tissue. It is filled with fluid. What we are seeing is the the choreography of the fluid moving through the connective tissue called bone. Bone maintains its health through its flexibility and adaptability. Breathing from from the sides of the body, using lateral movement is aquatic breathing belonging to our oceanic origins. Founder of Continuum and teacher Emilie Conrad: for more info see www.ContinuumMovement.com
