"Accept - then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life." -Eckhart Tolle

I’m feeling like a whole mountain has been lifted off of me after my breakup a few days ago. It’s incredible to observe the alchemy process that I can sense in my cells. I can literally feel how my grief and pain is being transformed and composted inside of my body. When I become still enough to observe, when I allow the pain to be present, with full trust in my capacity to hold this, it doesn’t take long until this energy shifts into warmth, love, vitality. Embodiment is the biggest gift I received in my life. It helps me to heal from those addictive patterns which held me captive in unhealthy relationships of all sorts. It’s only been two days since we ended the relationship, and I feel centered, joyful, content and truly loved. I feel how much intimacy I can sense besides from this partnership, I can sense how little time I made to focus on my friendships, my career, on dreaming, playing, being.

Embodiment allowed me to stay centered and deeply rooted in my truth. The wisdom I have gained through cycle tracking gave me the courage to let something that is dear to me die. It allowed me to recognize the dysfunction of the relationship, and take responsible steps to restore my own well being. I am beyond grateful to my beloved teachers and allies. This feels like a new way of living and loving. I am mind blown that this is how I can feel after a breakup.
