SPIRIT IS THE BODY
There are some spiritual beliefs that are focused on freeing spirit from matter, from the body.

Allies that Help Us Love Better
Love, the real kind, the kind that sticks around and is with you when shit hits the fan, is present, responsible, genuine, and willing to meet us where we are. What gives us dopamine hits - the kind of ‘loving feelings’ that are intense, seductive, glamorous, fantastically projecting, distracting us from pain are often mirages, and far from actual love.

Emotional Resources for The Year of the Water Tiger
I don't think it was an accident that Venus and Mercury Retrograde preceded the arrival of the Water Tiger. So much churching, sorting, sitting still to let the murky waters settle and clarify, and then to make embodied decisions of sovereignty and authenticity.
It hasn't always been easy, but I am grateful for the reminders the spirits have shared with me: their messages of knowing myself, releasing parts too well known that are now ready to chart new waters, to feel and respond to the dynamic and often paradoxical energy of the Tiger.
