Kirstine Weaver: Body Led Alchemy

Beautiful testimonial from a recent client session.

Scar tissue remediation can be powerful work. The fascia holds memories of the time the scar was created, and softening the tissue allows for those memories to emerge and be released.

These energies exist within all of us. As a nonbinary person I scoured the internet to try and understand the attributes; defining someone as more masc or more femme did not parse easily to my more neutral sense of self.

And, here's what I discovered in creating this list.

The sacred masculine energy channels from above. It's about being still and listening, receiving from the divine. The sacred feminine energy channels from the earth, from Gaia. It's about being rooted and safe in the body. They both require a connection to the opposite divine energy, to be complete.

The shadows are an important part of the whole. As the capacity for holding the shadows increases, so does the capacity to hold the sacred.

When shadow behaviour shows up, it is a sign that things are out of balance. This balance is obtained not by denying the shadow, but by accessing the opposite sacred energy in some way.

For example, if there's too much aggression, too much drive towards an outcome showing up in your life, it can be an invitation to allow in more flow and connection to Gaia. Taking time to rest, to receive. Dropping down into the body and connecting to the sensations within.

When the shadow feminine shows up it's a sign there isn't a safe enough container to express your needs. But here's the thing; you don't need another person to provide that container. You can create it yourself, by getting clearer with your boundaries. By learning to express your wants, needs and desires.

And, it's often only in understanding these polarities that we can truly break free of them.

Are there quadrants that resonate for you? Are there particular attributes you need support with?

How might I serve you in exploring those?

"Desire is not what matters. Not “passion”, not “keeping the spark alive”.

Pleasure is what matters.

Center pleasure, because great séx over the long term is not how many orgásms you have or even how enthusiastically you anticipate séx, but how much you like the séx you are having."

I’m a s*x educator. Here’s the biggest myth about desire in long-term relationships It turns out every part of the narrative we’re taught about desire is not merely wrong, but wrongheaded

I'm delighted to be one of the speakers at The Midlife S*x Festival - a free online event for those experiencing perimenopause and menopause. I find interviews a challenge so I was glad to have the experience of taking part. My talk is towards the end of the month.
