Today I awoke reborn. The green nature bursting from every field and enormous trees leave me open mouthed in awe. Corfu is not just full of gnarled ancient olive groves, it is alive with wild fig trees, agave and palms, and forests of oaks, eucalyptus, juniper, and elegant cypresses that reach like sentinels into the sky and are strung with ivy, creepers and vines. My mind was still and I was present and one with all of this, as I drove into the hot sun shining in the cobalt blue sky, wearing sunglasses on my way to ecstatic dance at the Soundgarden.
From the first track I am spellbound: a wise woman in a native American Indian tribe, arms to the air in a wide prairie, in communion with the elements. The wind caresses my face and body, blowing my dress, that has transformed into animal skin skirt and jacket, the breeze a gift from the gods and joy is fizzing from my skin. My arms are praying in a silent ritual of opening. My torso is cracking down the centre and light is pouring out. I am transfigured.
The magician DJ Tuo Maa blends the electronic trance tracks into a symphony that sounds like the holy grail to my supersonic ears. My arms in the air in praise to the stage catch your eye and we smile as our universes collide in that moment, before spinning off on our separate trajectories. My body is played like a divine instrument, plucked by the beloved. My torso undulates, hips sway and swirl in figure of eights. The music is entrancing, mesmerising orgasmic as I’m opening more, I’m in a field of bliss. I’m swimming through honey suspended like I can’t fall. My body riffs and finger tips sprinkle the high notes into the cicada filled trees vibrating with the natural backdrop of sound. The middle of my body from root to heart is wide open. Golden light is blasting out blending with the sun-drenched Sound Garden. Friends in flowing dresses and wide brimmed sunhats and shorts in a myriad of colours swirl by as I spin around and around arms akimbo, totally free and ecstatic, experiencing my body renewed, reborn, radiant with divine light.
What preceded this was a 4-day involuntary purge and initiation by wasp stings and a spider bite that dropped me into the deepest layers of my birth trauma. There I recovered the jewels, rewrote the limiting core beliefs, raged at my mother and the doctors that brandished a sharp knife to a traumatised babe who they swaddled and sedated and left completely alone in what felt like a wilderness.
I reclaimed soul, spirit, wise woman, sexual priestess, sorceress, life force energy, merged with my soulmate, soothed the angry, sad child and reconnected to my heritage and ancestors. The core beliefs locked into the myriad of muscles around my navel, taut as a drum were released like a snapped elastic band when the beliefs were rewritten. Muscles ricocheted back to where they should always have been, the effects rippling through all the organs, fascia and systems in my body and energy fields.
After the dance a synchronistic flow delivered me to the most succulent and tasty lunch with a beautiful soul sister in a garden where red flowers blazed against the blue sky and a green garden glinting off the undulating blue grey ocean.
I’m a swimming prayer, one with the fish in the divine ocean, a mermaid in a cyan blue sea with low cresting waves refreshing and purifying my soul. I’m so alive and vital, the world today is a kaleidoscope of technicolour. I’ve been returned to my soul’s original blueprint: infinite, radiant and liberated love.
I bow with love and gratitude to all the actors in the sublime play of love we performed together today.
