Hi, this is Renee. Thanks for joining me for this
practice. The episode you're listening to
is a recorded segment of a workshop.
I gave on embodied astrology tools for surviving and thriving
in 2020. In this segment.
I'm working with the energy of your honest in Taurus, which I
explained a little bit at the beginning of the recording.
This is a movement and voice practice that doesn't require
anything more than an open mind and space to practice in, it
would be best if you have room to lie down.
Move around a little bit. And if you're in a place where
you feel comfortable, making strange sounds to loosen up your
voice. This practice is a great
accompaniment to another hour-long somatic movement.
Practice from the same Workshop, called inner alignment, that
practice. I've Linked In the show notes
for this episode. If you're interested.
I hope you enjoy this exploration.
Please stay tuned for a brief sponsorship message, and I'll be
right back with treasure your body.
Okay, cool, so in the last hour, I hope we would have two hours
for this, but you know, time Saturn, I want to explore a
little bit of of tourists. And what's happening with
Taurus? Taurus is another Earth sign
like Capricorn, and it rules the accumulation of matter.
So not so much Capricorn. Overtime, something build
slowly, slowly slowly. But it's like how do I
accumulate? I want to draw it in towards me.
It's an attractive element of matter.
Taurus has a lot of Association to food, right?
We build our bodies through eating and through pleasure.
Like my like that, I'm going to try and get it and bring it into
towards me or into my life. Taurus is therefore also really
associated with money with economies and with wealth,
right? Yes, pleasure.
I want that going to try and accumulate it.
I want to save it. So you're honest is in Taurus
for about seven years. It moved into the sign about a
year and a half or so ago and it is a very disruptive kind of
energy. It's the modern ruler of
aquarius. So I talked about Saturn in the
fortitude to choose and choose A New Path.
You're honest is like the aha moment.
That's not necessarily about fortitude.
It's like something coming out of the blue and going.
Oh, who could do different. So that's Uranian energy.
It's like Shake It Up. Let's do something else.
And it can have like an aha, kind of like Lightning strikes
feeling to it. Okay, so we're going to work a
little bit more with a body practice.
And I again, I hope that all of these body practices that we're
doing are accessible and that they're also tools that you can
bring with you. So let's spread out into the
room. And what I'd like to do is just
find a spot, find a spot to be. Oh sure.
Christine's going to going to play the which one you're nuts.
Gong Wu, this will be great. Okay, so I'm going to go in the
middle of the room, find a spot to be.
Take up some space. Life insurance, okay.
Find a spot to be. You can be in any shape that you
want. You can sit, you can stand.
You can lie down. And choose one part of your body
to begin. I'm going to choose my knees.
So just one part of your body. And what I want you to do is
bring attention into that part of your body.
And let's bring attention a little bit through mobilizing.
Little movements also touch. Stimulating your skin may be
scratching or rubbing. Then I'd like you to also use
your eyes to gaze upon this part of your body.
And I want you to start to greet your body as a treasure.
And you might even say it, you can whisper it, you can say it
out loud. You could say it in your mind,
like, oh God. My knees are such a treasure.
What a treasure and then think about this idea of treasure
Treasures, are sacred. They're so beautiful.
They're precious. They're valuable.
And start to move through your body, greeting, your body, like
a treasure. And it might feel like a
practice that might not feel 100% authentic.
Or it might feel deeply, deeply real.
But just try it out. Find a part of your body and be
with it a little bit and then treasure it.
Really loved it. This is your treasure.
This is your body. Can you regard it with surprise?
Like? Oh my God.
You're my body. You're my treasure.
Like you're just finding it. Oh, I've had it all this time.
What a treasure. Can you find new places in your
body treasure treasure? As you go through your body, you
might remember some of these structural places that hold
weight, or that hold lineage story, and you can even go
through the body, part into the subtle layers, and you can claim
them as Treasures. Anything that you find treasure?
Now, what's your imagination with your touch with your fault
sense? Refuse to be owned.
This is your treasure, your body, your treasure.
No one else owns it. Refuse to be own, refused to be
bought and sold. This is your body.
It's your treasure claim it. And if there are ideas or
messages or practices that are living in certain parts of your
body that feel like they're owning you sweep them out.
If you want to move around and make gestures, move around, and
make gestures. If there are ways that you're
imposing on your treasure from the inside out.
Trying to give your treasure away, stuffing it somewhere,
Shake It Out. Breathe It Out.
I'm gonna invite us to move into more of a shaking practice and
for this, I need for me to stand up, but you're welcome to to
siddur to lie down, too. and when you shake, You can shake
one part at a time. You can shake the whole thing.
You're shaking can be small. It can be big.
Let's invite little earthquakes into our bodies.
Let's feel the places that are fearful.
Rigid. And just check them out.
And you can keep loving on your body.
You can keep feeling that it's a treasure and it's like you just
Unearthed this treasure and you're going to shake off the
dust. Hey nice, shake off the
sediment. Shake it.
Shake It Off. Okay, you don't have to be in
any way. That's not authentic to you.
You don't have to convince anybody?
You don't have to uphold anything, Shake It Off.
This is your life. Humans have been on Earth for
three hundred fifty thousand years.
The earth is 4.5 billion years old.
You might live to 100. It doesn't fucking matter.
This is your life. This is your life.
This is your treasure. You don't need to live for
anybody else's idea of what you need to live for.
You get to decide. Expel the voices that are
telling you otherwise get those ignorant fools out of your head,
space out of your belly out of your heart.
Out of your groin, get them out. This is your treasure find
pleasure in your body. Where is a place in your body
that feels pleasurable? Let the pleasure expands.
So, feel good to shake out, shake it out.
It feel good to breathe in, breathe in.
So, if you'll go to Resource, find resource is your treasure.
It's your pleasure. 666. 666, 666, 666.
Six-six-six, 666, 666, 666, 666, 666, 666, 666, find one place in
your body that you hold insecurity feeling.
Like you're not enough feeling like you should be something
else in. Shake It Out.
Fill yourself with breath. As you breathe in.
You say, this is my treasure. This part of your body treasure.
Take out the insecurities, shake out the fears.
Goodbye. Six-six-six. 666 666. 666 last
30 seconds, get it out. Get him out.
Okay, pause. You notice the tingling, notice
the space. Feel your breath.
We have trouble with change when we're excited for it.
And we're scared of it. When change is coming.
We shake it out. Shaking.
Let's start to walk again through the room.
Hey, we're going to work with some sound sounding.
It's okay. The gongs can assist.
Okay, so we're working with sounds of the vowels a
e-i-e-i-o-e-o. You start to let them come out.
The sounds of the vowels. Explore them at your own pace
and your own way. A yeah, find different pitches
different registers and let your face really stretch around the
sounds. Hey, I owe you.
Now you're going to keep making vowel sounds and we'll start to
have conversations with each other.
Purely through the vowel. Sounds.
I would like you to be an instigator try and instigate
something with the vowel. Sounds hey.
Hey, Amy, IO. Now, let's try and harmonize
with each other. So like we're chanting own but
we're going to do just the vowel.
Sounds. Okay, it can be any vowel.
Sound is just rolling. Keep going.
Keep sounding.
Just stop walking. Close your eyes and listen.
Notice how you feel and your inner body?
Notice the sensation in your heart, and in your head.
Where we are, let's just open eyes and step into a circle.
So all year long by sign Taurus is assisting Capricorn.
We're moving out of a Trine, Jupiter and the sun in trying to
Uranus receiving their helpful influence, but all year long
just by sign. What's happening in Earth is
were getting assisted to do this work that we're doing in
Capricorn to do the transformational work.
When we allow change in. When we find ways to Resource
ourselves with pleasure. Taurus rules the body.
You're on a school's Awakening. So we want to think about this
Transit as an Awakening potential.
Awakening, the body through pleasure.
This is our Birthright pleasure. All right, it's a beautiful
Earth. We live on beautiful bodies.
We inhabit Taurus rules the the voice and the throat, the lower
jaw and the throat chakra. When we give voice to something.
We make it real right? When we say like, I'm going to
get a snack very tourist thing to say right then and get up, we
walk over, we get a snack. When you say something, you make
it real. So we want to open our throat
chakras with your honest and Taurus.
We want to let ha this starts to spread out and stretch out.
So all that work. We're doing with the massage at
the earlier portion. That's working with the rigidity
and the structures that Capricorn rules write the joint
spaces, but then especially working up around the mouth and
the throat can really help us open the throat chakra.
Let The Voice. Come out.
If you're feeling stressed or tense, go lock yourself in the
bathroom and do the vowel sounds for five minutes and it'll help
you. If you get a friend on board and
you have a conversation and vowel, sounds that's even better
than adult, probably make you smile.
Little, that's a quick quick dip into Taurus.
