I’ve have my own unique experience when it comes to racism and oppression as a mixed, light olive, curvy female.

I took a racial studies course in college and learned a lot. We had discussions daily about the racial inequality and how deep it runs in our social infrastructure.

I was blasted open to my own white privilege and confused as to where I was on the spectrum of race. I fell in between when we divided into groups of White, Black, African, Indiginous, Mexican, Hispanic, Latin American, Asian, Pacific Islander. I was alone. I couldn’t relate to anyone with the experience I had growing up.

So here I was being confronted with the pain and ignorance of myself and the people around me.

I argued. I debated, I apologized, I listened, and I took initiative to learn and be an ally to people of color who experience daily stress because of the depth of racism in our social structures/laws.

Just because we are hearing about this now doesn’t mean it’s not ALWAYS present.

People with brown skin have been speaking for ages of their suffering.

Everytime I use my voice, I reclaim a lost part of myself.

I've had moments where I've frozen up and nothing came out of my mouth. My thoughts would race and I just couldn't remember the words to twinkle twinkle little star. I couldn't make a sound. My throat swells and locks up like I've completely lost my voice.

My life has been a series of moments of me finding my voice again and again.

In high school Drama class for my final I sang " My bonnie lies over the ocean, my bonnie lies over the sea.." purposely nasaly for a skit I was performing.

I started leaning into singing for creative expression and confidence with an experience with Shayna Gladstone

I sang Hotel California at my grandma's birthday celebration.

I sat in a yoga song circle and toned.

I sang a short opera demo for 100+ audience.

I sang in a steam room with a stranger.

I sing Happy Birthday as often as I can.

I sang during my Mother's Blessing.

I sing to Aya daily.

I sing her soul medicine songs.

I sing to myself.

I've led toning in my workshops and that was and continues to be a huge breakthrough for me.

Sometimes I've noticed that if anyone is listening to my heart songs, there is a short hiccup in my step and the words might shift.

I get scared.

Of course there is no logical reason to be afraid, and my body tightens up. I tense and I move into a hum. My inner dialogue says I need to be quiet. Don't let anyone hear you.

The funny thing is that I've put my blinders on many times- it's been more of the "fake it till you make it" model and that just isn't working out for me anymore

I'm 3 months away from taking the Breath of Bliss Self Love Journey and the Facilitator training and I get to shift this OLD story.

Let me tell you how old.

I was 6 years old playing the tambourine in music class. We were in a circle and it was my turn so I was the only one standing up. I was so nervous. I stood there mortified as all the eyes were on me. Embarrassment turned to shame as I felt this warm liquid running down my leg onto my foot.

I was a mess. I seriously have no idea what happened after that because it was so awful.

Avoidance, and denial have been programmed into many bodies. It can feel overwhelming and scary to feel. And we must feel if we are to move towards freedom.

Freedom of mind, body, and spirit all hinge on you're willingness to FEEL.

Can you notice when you shift away from intentisty and opt for something more manageable and convenient?

Can you notice when you shut down and avoid intimacy?

Are you running a program of the past that needs to be completed?

We can move beyond these places of discomfort by acknowledging how we feel.

Simply stating how angry you are, or how sad you are can open the channel to freedom.

Because once YOU give yourself permission to feel what you're feeling, you have given yourself the love you so desperately desired and it feels GOOD!!

So be brave and try expressing your truth on. Notice the next time you are upset and speak it out. Call it out. Free the feeling by calling it by its name.

Death is a natural part of life.

Without death we have no life.

With a cultural upbringing that avoids and has been afraid of death, I'm being asked to shift my deep rooted beliefs.

I've only had a handful of deaths around me, and I feel like I've navigated those transitions with grace AND upon this new moon, I realize a deeper initiation is being called forth.

As I delve into feminine wisdom more, it's clear that being a woman means being the keeper of life and death.

The womb is the place where life grows and also where we bleed from once a month.

Death.

Accepting death is accepting myself.

Accepting death is accepting my cyclic nature.

Accepting death is coming to peace with all that life has to offer.

I recently had a few friends come to me pregnant.

Neither of them wanted the children that grew within their womb.

I held space for them as I believe we have the right to choose what's best for us.

Both decided to get abortions.

I wish I could have helped them more.

I've been led on a path of discovery to find out what kind of sacred goddess support is out there.

Feminine wisdom has been so lost women make descions to abort in isolation, shame, guilt, and resentment.

The ONLY reason this is so is because at one point women lost control of their bodies.

Religion and law became involved in women's sacred business of giving and taking life, consciously, and respectfully.

Religion and Law decided anonymous slaughter, r**e and pillage was more honorable.

Death is sacred. Death is a natural part of life.

I reclaim the honor of death as I reclaim my blood. I give reverence to my blood and the deaths that occurs within my cycle. When I bleed, I die. My old self dies and I'm given the opportunity to be reborn.

What are you allowing to die this new moon?

What are you calling in this new cycle?

The moon is dark and it's time to listen. Listen to the whispers of the womb.

Woman are inherently magical.

We are the original shamans and see-ers. As we dance, pray, scream, kick and shout, in the eye of the storm is the message that beholds answers and insight for our greatest evolution. Our greatest awakening and self realization.

Generations of the lost art of sisterhood have made these rituals dead to most women.

Girls and women move through bleeding in shame, hiding their dirtiness and blending in with the crowd of men.

It's time to reclaim our blood as sacred and own our divinity.

As more women wake up to our inherent power, more women spaces are being created to foster the healing of the womb.

The womb is the keeper of death and life and with reverence we awaken to its creative potential.

We must find time "to listen to our bodies, minds and needs to establish contact with our cyclic and primal cosmic selves, to experience ourselves as sacred animals."
- passage from The Great Cosmic Mother by Monica Sjoo & Barbara Mor

Gathering with woman during menstruation is a lost art that has a pivotal place in society. When women's wombs and magic is dismissed as insignificant, so is the earth. It's relegated to an infinite resource to be r**ed and pillaged.

As modern women awakening to the divine feminine- awakening to our Goddess roots we WAKE up to the power of sisterhood. We wake up to the power that women hold. We wake up to the fact that we hold LIFE and DEATH within our very womb.
We are a mystery. We are wild. We are cyclical and we cannot be tamed.

We can learn to flow with the moon within us and above us.

We can see that we are nature and discover a depth of acceptance that allows us to transcend projecting our anger onto our loved ones.

The waning moon is a time when many women are about to bleed. This is also known as the PMS stage.
PMS comes with shame. Feeling wrong. Feeling dirty, feeling too big. And that's all because we've lost the art of gathering with other women. When we gather we create a portal to the past that quickens our self realization and awakening.

Our bodies are sacred and holy.
Our blood is sacred and holy.

We are rewriting the script to honor our feminine truth.

Let your wild one free and be free of the shame that keeps you hidden and small.

With the moon waning, we're being asked to get in touch with our true nature.
🐺🌒
Have you had an art project on hold? Do you have an idea that just wont go away for a painting, drawing?
Feel like moving your body wildly?
Got an instrument lying around?
Get out and do that project you've been waiting to do.
🐺🌒
This is the perfect time to put this energy to good use.
🐺🌒
If you cannot set aside time for your intentional creative expression, beware of energies piling up and exploding into your life. This is the way mother nature communicates with you. Learn to tune into the subtle energies of your feminine body and learn to listen to the call of creative expression.
🐾🌒
By tuning into your creative ideas, you're honoring your unique expression. Consider this the metaphorical last hoorah before the death. Get out what you need to get out. Say what you need to say.
🥀🌒
Many woman are preparing to bleed with the new moon. And with the bleed comes a rebirth.
🌹🌒
We must die to be reborn. So let this be your expression of death. What needs to be created for you to feel satisfied- For you to feel in alignment with yourself? What needs to be sung? What needs to be written? What needs to be molded?
🌒
Take time for your creative expression, now.

The moon is fading to black and we also enter an phase of death and darkness.

This is a time to honor all parts of ourselves.

Many women are preparing to bleed. Hormones are shifting and emotions can become intense during this time.

Be sure to Express yourself through movement, dance, and sound to release whatever arises and to anchor yourself in your truth.

If you do not take space for your self expression during this time, your emotions can overwhelm you and you can feel unstable.

CONNECT with the energy of the WILD WOMAN to deepen your connection to nature and its inevitable edd and flow.

Repeat the mantra: I am one with the rhythms of nature

Freedom is having the courage to stretch. It's feeling safe enough to try something new.

Freedom is in the mind and you can access it THROUGH the body if you cant fathom how to access freedom.

Freedom is on the other side of control.

I trust that whatever unfolds for me is here to help me access even more freedom.

It's easy to see in someone's body how much freedom they believe to have.

Look at someone's posture. Do they slouch? Are they standing up tall, and rigidly hold their shoulders broad?

How does that person walk? Is their gait clunky or smooth?

To access even more freedom, tune into your body.

Where are you holding tension?

Breathe into that place and let it melt.

Breathe and wiggle and shake your body to loosen up. Let your body be the axis point to allow more freedom in your thoughts.

Our self imposed rules can be exhausting. Dont let limiting beliefs from the past stop you from shining your brightest today.

Your gifts and voice I needed.
Your experience and offerings are useless inside of you.

Let them FREE!!!

Get that body moving. Habitual movement wires us to keep doing the same things in our lives.
Move your body in a new way today.

Explore hip circles, shoulder raises, spinal arches.
Change is the only constant we can count on. Attempting to control our environment will result in a stiff body. So relax into your breathe and let your body loose!

There is no right or wrong here.
You don't need to be a dancer.

Close your eyes and let yourself go.

If this is challenging, that's ok! I've been there, too.

It used to be mental torture to move my body. So many self defeating thoughts would run through my head. I came up with every reason NOT to move. I couldn't stand to be with myself if I even tried to move.
There is so much to uncover here, and trust me, if I could overcome the shame of moving my body you can too.
It's kind of like a wave coming into the shore. You cant stop it from rolling in!
So get over that initial fear and trust that it's going to get easier and better.
You can do it!

I love how the work I do resonates with people on such a beautiful deep level that everything I want them to get, they GET. The results from this last workshop are saying that this work is working! I'm excited to host a LEVEL 2 for people who want to dive DEEPER into this work to get even more amazing results!

Here are some words from a super amazing Goddess who was in attendance at my last Awakening To Bliss Workshop held in Delray Florida

I'm filled with so much love after my workshop, Awakening to Bliss this weekend. I feel honored to witness this work really touch my community

There is a life beyond struggle.

There is a life beyond simply passing each other by.

It looks like deep intimacy and connection.

Peace then easily follows.

After a decade of life experience doing this work, and then diving into traditional training, such as Authentic Relating (Austin, TX), Intimacy Education Training (Caffyn Jesse), Ta**ra Practitioner Training (Lourdes Starshower), and more!

I've come to a place of confidence to guide others in this special work of connecting through intimacy.

Workshops are so much fun to host and so juicy to host. We get to breathe the same air, hear each other, see each other, and touch each other.

There is nothing more valuable than these kinds of experiences that allow us to feel safe and held in the scariest of places.

I know how challenging it is to be seen, especially when we are our own worst critics. No one judges ourselves more than we do. So to be held in this sacred space, with community, we can heal and grow together.

I was a dancer for 10 years and I thought no one would accept me. I thought I was going to be an outcast for the rest of my life, never fitting in.

I realized after time that I wasn't alone in this story. I met many people who held the same shame around their life experiences.

I realized that everyone has some pain they are still holding onto, and I've created this space to let it be accepted and loved.

In our society, sexuality isn't often spoken about an can hold shadows- as we step into this container I've created, we get to shine light on to it. Becoming empowered by it's presence and loosening the grip of fear and shame.

This is the environment to get it out and take your sexual power back!!

Your sexual power is your creative power and when you have that EMBODIED experience, you become an unstoppable force for what you desire.

You can have what you say you want. You deserve to have what you say you want!

Are you ready to unlock your creative sexual power!?

03/22/2019

Sunday in Gainesville, FL I'm hosting a workshop about Sacred Sexuality. Will you be joining us?!

02/13/2019

I really love helping clients bring light to the darkness. Life doesn't have to be so difficult. It can be easier together.

If you're experiencing something and you are looking for guidance through the pathways of shame, guilt, blame, anger, sadness, then it would be my honor to chat with you to hear more about your situation and where you see yourself going to see if we're a good fit to work together.

You are supported and loved.

Here's a testimonial from a dear client. ♡♡♡

Aimee, I would like to thank you for your empathy, validation, and gentle guidance through this particularly turbulant time in my life. Your being there and solid spiritual wisdom has been a reliable source of strength for me. I know I will be reaching out to you again soon as I work through other issues. Much love, William
