FEAR and DANCING WITH SERPENTS

Updated: Jan 6, 2020


šŸ

The first time I danced with a serpent- I had fear running through me. šŸ”„

There was so much fear-in anticipation -like a nervousness building inside my body-

That I finally decided just to go for it cause I knew that waiting was not going to make it any better.

Snakes- do bring up our fear- and their medicine is to teach you to how to work with it. šŸ

Fear and Snakes- do go together.

I was recently listening to a podcast discussing a study that showed that human's eyesight developed in the way that it did BECAUSE of snakes.

When we were more tree dwelling- and lived out in nature- We needed to be able to identify the camouflage patterns of a snake- For safety.

The way that I understood it is- The part of our brain that identifies a snake- Is also the part of our brain that makes decisions-out of fear- to keep us safe.

The first time I danced with a snake- I was shaking. šŸ

I had touched a snake before- but have it on my body- just me and the snake- And to dance with it- That was a whole other thing.

I wondered- if it was going to bite me- if I moved in the wrong way... I have to admit.

Well- it didnā€™t bite me- or anyone else šŸ™‚ šŸ

What happened-was intense. šŸ”„

I was able to work THROUGH my fear- AND at the same time- I felt like it activated sleeping powerful energy inside of my own body.

My arms and hands where it had wrapped around me tingled for hours after. I actually felt high, and euphoric. And activated! šŸ”„

The second time I danced with a snake- I was clear that I didnā€™t have a fear of snakes. šŸ

But it still brought up my fear none the less.

This was SO revealing! āœØ

The fear that was up- was the same fear that was standing between me and what I want to do in this life! šŸ”„

I could see it so clearly!

I realized that when the day comes that I can finally move with the snake- with out fear- Is when I have learned to move through that fear in my life!

They teach us- simply in their movement- šŸ

How to move fear that is stuck in our bodies.

WE have hips, and we hold old traumas, stuck energy and fear in there. āœØ

If the snakes had hips- they would be moving them- The snake- shows us the way to move our spines- to move the fear and stored trauma-

To massage it- in a way- with movement- and dance. šŸ __________

Priestesses of the Goddess have always been keepers of serpents. āœØ

The serpent is one of the oldest symbols of the feminine- Feminine energy, and sexuality.

And because of that-

The snake has been demonized- along with woman. šŸ

You know the stories.

Eve. Lilith.

_______________

I know now that dancing with a Serpent - Is an incredible way- to move through your own fear- AND access the feminine. šŸŒ¹

This is one of the main reasons- that I am bringing snakes into our red tent next Friday night. šŸ

Itā€™s a powerful experience. šŸ”„

There is much more wisdom to be shared on this topic- so I will be interviewing the experts for you.

I will be interviewing AimĆ©e Delphyne Lissantheia who is leading our Serpent Initiation with Jessica Forrest who is a keeper of 8 snakes currently! šŸ

The interviews will be coming soon. (Iā€™ll keep you updated)

Iā€™m considering opening up the Serpent Initiation portion of the Red Tent training for those of you that can not make the whole weekend training. šŸšŸ”„šŸ

It will be held on Friday, Dec 7th, 4-8pm here in Los Angeles.

If you feel called to thatā€” please get in contact with me. šŸ™

Iā€™d love to offer this to as many of you as feel called to it.

More to come- Stay tuned šŸŒ¹
