Never forget

 ~ Erin & her niece Madison ~
Bodega Bay  ~ July 2013



Never forget

Life is a dream
To create as you choose
So choose from your heart
And you never shall lose
The magic of YOU
Manifested in form
Which is
Pure joy,
Delight,
Passion,
Love -
These adorn,
The radiance of your essence
The truth of your soul
As an infinite being
Here to
Play
Dance
and
Grow
Please never forget
You are loved and adored
Spirit cherishes YOU
As its greatest reward!

*****~~~~~*****~~~~~*****

Dedicated to my niece Madison.

And to all of the magical dreamers out there, who are here to love this world into a new paradigm of heaven on earth.  

Namaste.

Erin

LUMINOSITY encore dance

(video)


This video is from my solo show LUMINOSITY on Friday September 27th.

The audience was sad when it was over, so they asked for an encore ... "one more please!" ...

and I obliged, with this improvisational dance.

Life Song

To attune 
Myself
As an instrument of Life
So finely 
that the glorious
Song of Creation 
may play
Through me 
In brilliant clarity
Bringing Heaven to Earth
And Loving to Living
Sweet melodies
and deep mournful cries
The many shades
of Existence
Sweeping through me
Unobstructed
Flowing
Full
Free
in Harmony 
and Union
and Peace

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.

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

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.  

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!              
                     

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 ~

keep your dreams alive...


keep your dreams alive...

for they are in divine escrow
waiting for you to allow them to be
waiting for you to open up to receive
waiting for you to raise your frequencies 
to become that which is in alignment
with all that you see
as your passionate & joyful possibilities!!

Breaking Loose


Experiencing the bliss
Of simply Being
Honestly and purely
As Nature intended.

Opening to mySelf,
To the fullness of who I Am.
No fear.
No ceaseless imperative to limit,
To edit, to amend,
Based on the perceived expectations of others.

Finding joy in
The delicious freedom
Of regenerated innocence.
Taking my rightful place among Creation
Where each exists as it was intended:
The star, the tree, the animal, me.

Unable to pretend to be, 
I simply Am.

Prayer to the Light

The Light of the Divine
shines

around me, 
as me.
Because of this Light,
we Live.

I Am/We Are/You Are: towards Christ Consciousness


I Am
The Way
The Truth
and The Life
Whomever comes to the Source
through their own Divinity
will access Me,
and will be combined in Love
through grace 
with the Great Light -
the animating force
of the universe...
of All That Is.

The Empty Cup


Resting in the silence
I wait
Clear
Calm
Still
Surrendered

Ready to be filled by Your Spirit

Ego
Thoughts
Fears
Sadness
Gone

Their tightly held grip loosing
Releasing the pain of their presence

As I breathe into You

In this spacious silence 
I fall away
And am filled with a boundless 
River of cosmic light
Merging into the 
Unified field of consciousness

Where all is One 
And I Am in You
And You Are in Me

A Union Divine
The Sacred Meeting

New Dimensions




breathing in 
the breath of
Life
into every cell 
of my body

Invigorating

filling each 
molecule with
Light

the limitations of
this physical realm
Dissolve

Energy
expanding outward
into 
Infinite Being

the True Dimension

shedding all awareness
of Separation
transcending false perceptions

conditioned restrictions evaporate

the small self
a distant memory
in this space,
reveling 
in the
Truth
of who 
I AM

Merry Christmas to All


After a heavy cloud cover all day, the sun is now shining through and burning away 
the clouds, revealing blue skies and snowy peaks all around.  
I have been waiting for this, 
as I sensed the returning light would reveal itself on this day of Christmas.




May the Inner Light that exists in all of us
be birthed anew on this day, 
and may you beam your true inner radiance out into the world 
(a world that in this time needs us all to shine brightly and unfettered).

Peace and rich blessings to all ......
