Awakening the Wild Soul


To become consciously embodied is to awaken the wild soul that sleeps wthin you and to evolve into higher states of consciousness and expanded worldviews. It means exploring non-habitual rhythms and ways of moving and responding. No matter where you dwell in the world, you must discover and liberate the wild, erotic stranger that is your body: the sacred, passionate soul that moves freely, sings loudly, and dances naked in thunderstorms. The one you are afraid to meet . . . but secretly hope to.

  1. Yesterday, while visiting here in Rome an exhibition on hell ("Inferno"), inspired by the writings of Dante, I came across several texts and images that allude to the conscious experience of one's own spirituality in such a way that sexuality will then become a source of vitality, fantasy, and creativity, as well as a spiritual path. I fully agree with this.
