Slowly we greet our bodies from toe to crown,

feel the strength of our roots

stretching deep into the earth,

grounded, stable, secure,

as we sway side to side.

 

Moving to the sacral chakra

we are both the beloved and the lover,

open ourselves to giving and receiving,

freely, naturally, gently.

 

We find our warrior selves and

roar with power, try out new stances,

announce who we are to the world

loud and clear.

 

As tall grass touched by an ocean breeze,

we softly sway to and fro

moved by the waves behind us

and open our hearts to all beings.

 

From twigs and branches we

build a fire, circle it, and

dance delightedly as it sizzles and cracks,

following then leading in our own unique ways.

 

At last we rest, melting into the floor,

and give thanks to our bodies,

grateful for what they have enabled us to do,

aware that they are always with us,

that we are one with the world.

 

 

With gratitude to our leader, Martha T.
