EROS THROUGH THE ELEMENTS
Join me for an exploration into how you might experience Life-Force Energy (aka Eros, aka Kundalini) through the lens of each of the elements.
Eros is an often times, misunderstood energy in my experience, most people understand it to be the exact same energy as se&ual energy. If something is erotic, it is se&ual (in modern language).
Yet in my lived experience Eros is something more, something beyond, a vessel that holds within it different forms of energy, se&ual being just one such form. Eros is much closer to what we may mean by "life-force energy"... It moves through every living thing and provides the impetus and resource to thrive. I feel it as a wide deep river that both runs through me and all around me, it can look quite still and calm on the outside, but underneath there are strong swirling currents. Se&ual energy may then, be recognised as one of the currents that flows within a much deeper and broader river.
Without a conscious connection to our own erotic energy we might exist, but we might also be missing out on the power and joy available to us throughout our life - gifted to us to make our lives magnificent. Without the distinction between sexual and erotic (and because we often times misunderstand and corrupt our concept of se&ual energy too), we find it difficult to recognise the innocence and purity of Eros.
By opening up to feel Eros through the Elements we begin to reclaim both the power and the innocence of this pure life-force energy. In doing so we can tap into it anytime to add richness, creativity, and enjoyment to our lives and empower ourselves in the process.
So with that in mind I ask... How does Earth express as Eros, might it invite you into the sensuality of your own flesh and bone body, or could it ground you in presence as the life-force energy dances through you?
How about Fire, does the heat engage your wildness or might a more gentle warmth soothe you into surrender?
As we move through five bi-monthly sessions we will explore each of the elements and there will be an invitation to allow your own relationship to eros and elements to be revealed to you.
As with all breathwork sessions, the theme is simply an invitation. If you discover in the moment that your breathe is about something else entirely, your authentic experience will be welcomed and celebrated....

Important Information For your online experience...
The Zoom waiting area opens at 9:30am for a 9:45am start; I invite that you use this time to set up and ease into your space, feel into any intentions for your breathwork session and should you wish to do so you can say hello to your fellow breathers and share your intentions in the chat box.
Please note that as we drop straight into the session at 9:45am,I am unable to manually admit anyone after that timeso I would advise logging into the call earlier rather than later, even if you then keep your camera off and continue preparing in your own way.
I ask that we have our cameras on if at all possible to promote a sense of safety and connection for the whole group AND I do respect your choice not to do so (and acknowledge that connection issues sometimes don't allow for this) so if your camera isn't switched on I won't be asking you in the moment to rectify that.
I highly recommend using wireless headphones if possible, wired are preferable to none but might restrict movement, and of course, your presence without any headphones is preferable to you not being there! Headphones simply allow for a more satisfying experience regarding hearing both the music and my voice; and perhaps more importantly, they provide a sense of privacy and safety, especially for those who choose to ask any questions or speak about their experience in the sharing circle.
As we are in the hands of the internet and technology gods during online sessions it may be helpful to make note of these guidelines. If we lose sound during the breathe stay in your experience and keep the breath flowing, use the silence to support you in feeling even more acutely all that arises for you moment by moment. I will be doing all I can to reconnect sound whilst staying present to you too.
If we lose internet connection, please gently bring yourself out of the experience by gradually slowing down your breath and returning to nose breathing until you feel ready to sit up and move on into your day; know that I will find a way to connect in with you to check that you are okay. This might be via email such as this one; or by posting on the event page on Facebook for example. And of course, if the connection issue is at my end, it may be later in the day once the issue is resolved.
If you have any questions or comments I invite that you make them on the Facebook event page as the likelihood is, someone else will have the same question even if they didn't realise it until you asked :)
