Never forget

Life is a dream
To create as you choose
So choose from your heart
And you never shall lose

Which is
Pure joy,
Delight,
Passion,

The radiance of your essence
The truth of your soul
As an infinite being

Play
Dance
and
Grow
Please never forget
You are loved and adored
Spirit cherishes YOU
As its greatest reward!

Namaste.

My experience of RISING ... will you CELEBRATE with me?

Twenty-six years ago I met a man who would change the course of my life.  

Of course I did not know this then, as a young, sensitive, passionate yet insecure girl of eleven.  

I did not know then what lay ahead of me in the ensuing years during and after his contact with me ... 

-the confusion

-the pain

-the emotional isolation 

-the lack of ownership of my own body and being

-the continual feeling that there was something so very wrong with me because of what had been done to me without my consent

-a deep shame about my body

-feeling powerless and afraid, with no idea how to create the boundaries I needed to protect myself and take care of my own needs

-feeling worthless and shut-down

-feeling unsafe in the world

It was not only this experience of abuse with my dance teacher that created these feelings in me.  

There was a lot of negative imprinting from the professional-track ballet world as well.  Aspiring ballerinas are not valued for who they are and the uniqueness they bring, but rather for how well they ‘fit’ into a very narrowly defined idea of how they should look, dance, and behave.  

And while I wanted nothing more than to become a professional ballerina (with a desire burning so strongly within me, that it saw me through the physical, mental and emotional intensity of this all-consuming discipline), I had a very hard time ‘fitting in‘ to the mold that was required if one was to have the possibility of success.

My quest to be the best dance artist possible subjected me to a long, confusing path of trying to fit into what others decided they wanted, or needed, or preferred.  Feeling I must try as hard as I could to ‘become’ those things for them, if I was to ‘succeed’ in my chosen career path.  

(To simply call it a ‘career path’ feels ridiculous... I HAD to dance - I knew it from the time I was three years old - it chose me and the idea of doing anything else NEVER entered my heart-mind!).  

So many, many years of feeling inherently worthless as who I naturally was, and feeling a desperate need to be who others needed me to be, left their mark on me.  And caused me to be limited by fear, and insecurity, and indecision.  I just had no idea how to TRUST MYSELF.  Or VALUE MYSELF.  Or LOVE MYSELF.  

So for now, let’s fast-track to TODAY, twenty-six years after that fateful meeting.

I have claimed, truly, for the first time in my life, MY BEING - my sacred essence.

I have stood up, spoke up and rose up to take a stand for my WORTHINESS, my VALUE, my POWER, and my LOVE.  

I now see the infinite, beautiful perfection of my divine self.

My value is INHERENT in my being here on this earth.  

No one can take that away from me.

No one can GIVE that to me either.  

It is for ME to CLAIM.  

To honor, and to own.  

*******************************

In February of 2013 I participated in an event as part of the worldwide movement One Billion Rising, which was started by Eve Ensler to raise awareness around the abuse of women and girls and rise in solidarity against it.  

This was a seminal event for me.

I danced a solo improvisation.

One Billion Rising Live Interpretive Dance by Erin Parsley

I spoke (in public, for the first time since the court proceedings in 2009).

Erin Parsley shares "Why I am Rising"

I choreographed a group dance, and led a huge crowd of women and men to dance and rise up in solidarity for all victims of abuse.  

Erin Parsley leads "Break the Chain" for One Billion Rising

I encouraged people to find their worthiness, fall in love with themselves, and realize their inherent beauty and worthiness no matter what has happened to them.

I invite you to watch these videos, and to celebrate with me this amazing journey I have been on!              

                     

See the playlist here:  Erin Parsley participates in One Billion Rising

This is a turning point for me.  

This is the culmination of an intense, traumatic, yet transformative chapter in my life.  

And the start of a brand new chapter, one that is fresh with possibilities.

A chapter that I GET to WRITE from an ever-expanding place of freedom and clarity - the freedom and clarity that comes from truly LOVING and truly VALUING YOURSELF.

A NEW CHAPTER  where I am being led to SHARE what I have learned, and ASSIST OTHERS in claiming their own worth and in finding FREEDOM from their experiences, no matter how difficult or demeaning they have been.

********************************

I appreciate each of you for taking the time to read this, for caring about me, for supporting me, and for everything that you are doing to bring more love, truth and beauty to our planet.

I am really excited to be bringing my new works, message and mission into the world!  

I have so much to share, and am working on bringing it all together in a way that will add value to others who are seeking to find and live the fullest expression of themselves in their lives.

There are many treasures I have gathered along the way while moving through this journey of healing and transformation.  I look forward to sharing them with you and others who may benefit.  

Please stay tuned as I unveil my new creations....  (coming soon!)

In the meantime, I would love to stay connected to you and to hear your comments, thoughts and feedback, either on my website, YouTube channel or my Facebook page.  Or email me!

All my love,

~ Erin ~

~ Honoring our beautiful planet today, and everyday ~

Contentment in the Space of Creation...

How amazing that I get to exist amongst all this beauty every day

What an honor

I am humbled by the infinite variety, intelligence 

and perfection of nature

An intricate pattern of co-exisiting magnificence all around me

I love you Gaia

<<((~))>>

~ Honoring You, Nanny ~

On March 29th, 2002 @ Noon on Good Friday,

you took your last breath in this lifetime,

and made your transition to Spirit.

I was honored to be there in that moment,

to witness your passage home.

I know you are with me, 

and with all your family who loves you so much.

I feel you every day.

Love, like Life never dies.

I love you Nanny.

~ Rest in Peace, Neil Rogers ~

Dearest Neil,

I want to write you a poem,

But I am so sad the words will not come.

Maybe you, as the vessel of beautiful words that you were

Can help me

For I am at a loss.

How is it out there, in the land of stars?

Was John Lash right…

Are we heading in a beautiful new direction with Gaia-Sophia?

Sometimes I wish I could dance with the stars, 

rather than being down here in this crazy place.

And now that you're there, can you whisper some wisdom to me?

Or maybe you are in the forest, where you always wanted to be.

Or maybe you are in every place that is lovely, all at once.

Is that how it works?

What will we do without your poems, 

sprinkled here and there across our favorite places?

Sweet, beautiful heart-lifting gems,

flavoring so many sites with inspiration and loving visions.

I loved your visions.

Your songs in words.

Their melodies danced in my heart, 

a happy little jig, bringing lightness and joy.

What will we do without those songs, 

sung straight from your spirit?

Those notes of love and compassion, humility and care.

You spread them far and wide, without fuss, 

easily sharing what came from your heart, 

generously bringing light to us all.

I wanted to write a poem.

But my heart feels heavy.

Maybe this will suffice 

to express how much I appreciate you.

I kneel in deep reverence for the gift that you were, are, 

and will continue to be.

Your reverence for the earth in all its wonder and beauty,

so apparent in your expression, 

lives strong in me, 

and in your poems, 

and in the hearts of those you inspired with them.

Rest in peace.

And navigate the heavens,

free as the birds and the planets.

They were always you.

That is why you loved them so.

*******************************************************************

On February 22nd, 2013 Neil Rogers passed away.  

I was told it was in his sleep.

He was only 42.

This was sudden, unexpected.

What an incredible loss.  

His loving spirit will live on.

But we will miss him.

We send love to his son, Keelan.

Rest in peace, Neil Rogers, rest in peace.

Phase 2

Greetings!

My name is Erin Parsley.  

I am a performing dance artist, choreographer, dance educator (for all ages and abilities!), poet, organic gardener, all natural food preserver & preparer extrodinare, passionate nature lover and committed consciousness raiser!  (WHEW!  ;~)

**You can visit my websites to experience my poems, dances, and vision**   www.erinparsley.com     and      www.youtube.com/eepdances 

I've been through a huge heap of challenges in my life (you can read about one major one here: http://bit.ly/Ra5eUR), and with preserverence and courage an ever-increasing dose of self-love, I've gotten through them to come out on the other side a transformed woman!

So... my creative abilities are ever expanding thanks to clearing out the GUNK of accumulated life experiences, and the inspiration is FLOWING like a mighty river now!

But it is time to take it to the next level so that I can really SHARE all this goodness with the world on a wider and more sustainable scale.

That's where you come in.... :D

Help me become an Inspired & Creative Entrepreneur (and say bye-bye to the "starving artist" paradigm)!

I am so ready for this!!!

And I'm committing to this next big step by signing up for a private, focused, intensive 6-week coaching program with Julie Ann Turner, Strategic Planner and Creative Consultant who is the visionary behind CreatorsGuide.com.  She has a crazy-good track record... you can check it out here: http://bit.ly/RGIGNy

I've already spent a few hours on the phone with Julie Ann, and am on fire with the possibilities we have explored together!  I have also been in contact with other women who have gone through this coaching themselves, to get a better understanding of how this experience has impacted their lives.  Here's some info about it, and what graduates have to say: http://bit.ly/WASs56

Part of her company's mission is:

"To help each person fulfill his or her unique, individual potential
and fulfill his or her unique contribution to others."

&

"To help individuals envision, map, and realize higher-level purposes,
relationships, careers and community contributions for their lives."

Can you hear me sing out a resounding "YES!!!"? 

The Stats:

Total cost of the program is $2500. 

(In my first campaign, I started off small by raising the initial $500 I needed as a deposit for this program.  And it happened!  Thank you!!!)

**So now it is time to raise the balance of the investment I need to enroll and complete the training!  Again, I am asking for less than I actually need because once I reach my goal of $1000, I can continue receiving contributions over that amount.**

 What This Will Mean for Me:

Watch the video above (and the one I made for the first campaign in the gallery) to see me tell you in person... :~)

In Honor of the Great Mother

In sacred reverence for you Divine Mother Gaia,

I consecrate my life to you.

May I walk rightly in this time to honor you, 

and may we evolve together on the 

ever increasing upward spiral of Love.

I desire to be a blessing to you as you have been to me,

gifting me (and all beings) with the very breath of Life.

I love you so very much,

and thank you for all that you have selflessly given us.

******************

And in gratitude to my own beautiful mother, Susan,

I say thank you for all the love you have 

bestowed upon me in this lifetime.

Your embodiment of the qualities of patience, compassion, 

and expansive non-judgement has always 

been an inspiration to myself and so many others.

It is an honor to be your daughter.

10 Years Ago...

On this day 10 years ago...

March 29th, 2002

(Good Friday)

@ 12 Noon

Our beloved Nanny 

(and mother/wife/friend/confidante) 

made her transition from this realm into Heaven.

Her legacy of love lives on

in those who were blessed to know her, 

and be the recipient of her unconditional affection.

Our hearts miss her smile, her hugs, 

and her ever present "I love you"s.

But let those same hearts feel her presence as a living energy 

which exists in us always.

We Love You Always Nanny!!!
