Written by Tonight I held an empowerment ceremony in my home. Two years ago I became a certified Firewalk Facilitator and Breakthrough Empowerment Coach. Slowly I’ve been growing into the courage to share this with others. As the Dark Moon moves into the New Moon in Scorpio, we took time to release those things that hold us back and call in what we want to create. I opened with sacred ceremony, then we burned our intentions of what we are calling in. Next we broke through arrows with our throats. This symbolically and physically anchors in the release and calling in the intention. Next we did another exercise focusing on this — we walked on shattered glass. I had not had the chance to do that since my training, and boy, did I feel so empowered! I’ve been working on a weekend intensive with my coach, and I’ve done a lot of releasing — meaning there has been looking at ugly truths, crying and a little screaming. So facilitating the two empowerment exercises and supporting my participants through them has empowered me! As I continue to do shadow work, I repeatedly get to fine tune myself, much like the dross that drips from gold as it’s refined. Or, more appropriately, much like doing a 1000 repetitions of a single kata!
Putting together, advertising, and running the glass walk has been a lot, and so I’ve decided it’s my personal goal for my black belt challenge. I started planning this 3 months ago, and it morphed from a firewalk at a farm to a glass walk in my living room. One of my participants asked if I was doing something for the winter solstice, so I definitely am now! Here’s to taking one more step into my power!
P.S. My glass walk is mobile and I can bring it to Sacramento if anyone wants me to hold one at the dojo!
