Be Gentle 03:08
You are like the flower that blooms when it’s ready Just like the sun rises at dawn to greet the day You are ripe for harvest when it’s your season You are still germinating growing until then Be gentle Be gentle with your self Be gentle Be gentle with your self Be gentle Be gentle with your self Be gentle Be gentle with your self To compare yourself with any other being Is just a waste of your precious energy So just remember that you’re on your own time Unclench your body feel your tensions unwind. Be gentle Be gentle with your self Be gentle Be gentle with your self Be gentle Be gentle with your self Be gentle Be gentle with your self

Intersection 05:46
I find my way to the forest My body knows the path I make my way through the forest Where I can breathe at last My senses heighten and I Feel alive and the ground breathes underneath my feet There’s a trail to my left and there’s one to my right I see where all the paths meet At the intersection The middle place is where I want to be At the intersection The middle place is where I’d like to meet I am rising to the call An invitation from the land to step out and leave it all To remember where I am So I take my body and I honor the ground Upon which I stand I step lightly but the birds take flight And the deer remind me who I am I’m at the intersection The middle place is where I want to be At the intersection The middle place is where I’d like to meet

In the Now 05:30
I am circling circling spiraling spiraling getting closer to the source Of my pain of my past of this wound that still lasts To the deepest parts of my core I’m going down going down reaching in reaching in to the darkest parts inside me To grab on to pull out to retrieve to break free to rescue the lost parts of me Willingly I walk this path Healing pieces of my past So that I can be in the now Gratefully I walk with you While you are healing too So that we can be in the now I’ve been here yes I’ve been here before and I know just what to do I must surrender remember to lean in and let go and trust that this is good This is good for my good for our good for the good yes this is a necessity So I’ll allow the healing to reach deep inside me like the roots reach underneath Willingly I walk this path Healing pieces of my past So that I can be in the now Gratefully I walk with you While you are healing too So that we can be in the now

I hear their voices blowing in the breeze whispering beckoning I see their faces in the shadows of the trees watching me peacefully They speak to me in the stones and bones and crystalline visions They call to me from the hills and the rivers forests The ancient ones The ancient ones The ancient ones I hear their song in the rhythm of the drum boom ba dee boom be dee I feel their strength running through my blood gifting me the life I lead They came before me now they implore me don’t forget who you are I hear the message I feel them with me and I hold them in my heart The ancient ones The ancient ones The ancient ones I see you and I won’t forget I am here I am doing my best I am here The ancient ones The ancient ones The ancient ones
