Root deeply in your own sovereign clarity
Unplug from the opinion of others


Jeannie invites participants to soften and rest into the ground of being, to give themselves to the moment. She talks about including the body in consciousness as the beginning of what she calls "sovereignty" - a place to rest outside of the influences of the everyday mind and the thoughts of others in simple embodied being, to rest in the simultaneous consciousness of the field of awareness and the flow of felt experience. She talks about the particular "being in space" and how presence doesn't have a problem with the creature of the body, and that the embodiment of freedom comes from bringing spaciousness to the creature of the body that carries conditioning. She talks about the body as the sacred vehicle through which our holy essence can be expressed, and the importance of welcoming and bringing warmth to that structure. She invites participants to envision their body as a temple, supported by earth and inspired by heaven. She says conditioning robs us of a conscious sense of our own sturdy embodied presence, and talks about how we meet and dissolve that conditioning and restore peace to our temple.
