Welcome back to embodied poetry, the home of embodied poetry practices, to add a little raindrop of dreaminess to your day. These practices are softly somatic and designed to invite poetics into your body so you can move through the world with a little more sweetness and curiosity.
These practices also live on the Insight Timer app! I would love to see you over there. It is a much easier way for you to practice these dreamy meditations. The app and my practices are free and listens through the app support me and my work.
You can practice dancing with the ocean on Insight Timer here.
Dancing with the ocean is an embodied poetry practice that invites you to connect with the liquid body and element of water. Using movement, the breath and somatic practices, this meditation allows you to embody the delicately dynamic and the deeply reflective qualities of water. A reminder that life is an oceanic dance. That you are the dancer, and you are the ocean.
Poetry
dancing with the ocean ࿐ ࿔
Can you be here right now, in the embodied state of water?
Because I see tumble stones stacked to make a waterfall of your spine.
Nerve pathways and veins like rivers and streams that make up the waterways of your body.
I see it within you, the waters that move on this earth, the waters that are soft but strong.
Flowing and then finding stillness once more.
I see the sea shell of your heart, that is always whispering to you the songs from the depths of your waters.

The universe is always naturally moving and unfolding, trees grow to soaring heights, the moon pulls the tides higher and lower, our hair gets longer, lungs fill with air and then let go again.
The movement of creation is wave motion, it moves within you and around you.
Life is a not linear journey, life is an oceanic dance.
Can you dance with the flow of divinity?
Can you dance with the waves that are your body? The waves of thoughts, the waves of sensations, the waves of feelings.
Instead of resisting them, can you dance with them?
Can you see that as you dance with these waves, that you are not these waves, you are the whole ocean.

Can you be here in the river of this very moment?
Allow this very second in time to take you where you are supposed to be.
Right now, there is no need for effort or control as you float here in this moment, as you feel into the quality of water.
This divine quality, that moves the universe; is you. You are made of water.
Can you find softness in trusting this divine force?
Can you trust in surrendering to the water in your being.
That just like the river longs for and moves towards the ocean, that the water in your body will carry you exactly where you are supposed to be. Trusting that whatever is meant for you, will never pass you by.

Remember that just as the clouds release rain that nourish all living beings on this planet. You are made to be a tiny droplet of love, in the ocean of life.
Let it pour.
Life is an oceanic dance. You are the dancer. You are the ocean.
