I have begun the process of writing and creating my own songs, taking small but meaningful steps forward. This work is happening with the big help of my dear friend Dr. Deb Kern, whose guidance has been invaluable. Owning the copyrights to my music will allow me to share choreography, meditations, and other content paired with music in video format, all in a clear and legal way. This is my first effort, still in very early stages. I created the opening prayer for our current archetype monthly feature, the Caregiver, and Deb helped shape those words into a song suitable for a gentle warm-up movement experience that centers on self-care and opening our gates. By gates we can include the literal joints of our body, the energetic gates such as our chakras, and the ways we can perceive gates across each of our four realms: Body, Mind, Emotion, and Spirit.
