Begin a dialogue with your body so that you may learn its language. Ask your body how it feels about going on this journey. You have been given a vehicle for this journey, but not something you have, but something you are. You are a body. You are a body in this physical world. Feel your body going through its daily routines. Think about how your body has changed and grown. What has it become to you? What is the world like that your body interacts with? Feel the textures, colors, sounds, and smells. Be your body feeling them. All the sensations you might miss-but your body experiences. Feel the hardness of earth in wood, cement, and metal. Permanence Feel the richness of this planet and its infinite forms. The planet is a vehicle too. It takes us through time and space. Feel the earth as a central unified body-just like you. You are a cell in this great body. WE begin HERE. Earth. Home. Our journey upwards begins by going down. Down into our bodies and into our flesh. Growing in Dignity:Honor: Respect. When we sink deeply, we come to the base of our spine. Imagine a red ball of energy glowing like the earth's core. Feel this molten energy running down your legs and through the floor beneath you and down into the earth. Feel this anchor grounding and calming you. You are here. You are connected. You are solid, but you are molten inside. You find your past, memories, and primal self deep within your roots. Your connection here is simple and direct. You remember your heritage, your ancient self as a child of the earth. She is your teacher. You are the point from which all things begin.
