Embodying Animal and Angel

Today, we live in evocative times – where the turmoil of the world can bring us further away from ourselves and one another or provide a powerful opportunity for spiritual development and maturation. For those of us on the inner journey, how do we orient all of ourselves—including our bodies, animal instincts, and spiritual nature—to the challenges of the world as a crucible for transformation?  

Rather than a portal to the divine, the body has historically been associated with the animalistic temptations, challenges, and imbalances of human existence. Despite our sincere intentions to cultivate harmony and wholeness, our bodies’ fundamental wiring, our nervous system, can be overtaken by powerful primal impulses—especially in today’s chaotic and conflictual world. Given this set up, it’s no wonder the body and spirit are typically seen as separate and at odds.  

We need all of ourselves to meet these tumultuous times in wise and loving ways, but we might have learned to fear our own aliveness, repress our instincts, mistrust our bodies, and thereby limit our most integrated and authentic way of being in the world. 

We might wonder, Is it even possible that my body, my spiritual nature, and my instincts can be one expression of all that is good? 

Join us for a free webinar on September 22 for a body-centric exploration of how working with your social, sexual, and survival instincts can catalyze a kind of instinctual alchemy — where your deepest nature can be experienced and expressed in your physicality making you more authentically available to life. Jessica Britt and Linda Krier, long-time Diamond Approach teachers specializing in how consciousness is expressed through the body, will share with us how to engage this profound inquiry into the full-bodied-ness of your spiritual nature. We look forward to seeing you there.
