Welcome to November Bliss Bytes.
Out theme this month is - Our Beloved Bodies of Water
"The tides are in our veins."
~Robinson Jeffers
It has been said--tongue in cheek--that animals were invented by water as a device for transporting itself from one place to another. That's an interesting perspective, especially considering that when animals left the seas in which they arose, they took saltwater with them, in their bodies--an internal environment crucial for cellular survival. We are, in a sense, soft vessels of seawater. Seventy percent of our bodies is water, the same percentage that covers Earth's surface. We are wrapped around an ocean within. You can test this simply enough:
Taste your tears.
~Carl Safina,
from the book Song for the Blue Ocean

SOME WORDS ABOUT RACHEL....
"Rachel is a fantastic teacher. She is exuberant vivacious and juicy and she made it VERY safe for all of us to let go on many many levels. I enjoyed her candidness, honesty and huge generous heart. I would take another workshop with her in a heartbeat and recommend the workshop to all our therapist friends."
"..the workshop exceeded my expectations. Rachel is a generous and talented teacher."
"Rachel Fleischman is a treasure. I had not taken a class with her before and will definitely take any class that she offers at Omega. I hope you will invite her back - she gives so much more than the description of the class would indicate. She creates a safe environment for her students to learn and grow and most definitely have fun. I didn't know how much I need movement in my life. I feel inspired for make adventurous changes now."
"Equal to my wonderful experience of "Writing the Unthinkable" was the deeply moving and transforming experience of each day's session from 12:15 - 1:00 pm "Dancing Your Bliss" as led by Rachel - truly an important, energizing, creative and cathartic experience - I went EVERY day. Julie

Book of the Month: Life on Land. The Story of Continuum, by Emilie Conrad
www.powells.com/biblio/62-9781556436451-0
Conrad contends that the body's fluid system is an organ of intelligence that can override the limitations of the nervous system. She tells us "human beings are like fish that swim in the ocean not knowing the basic wave movements in the ocean. In the context of evolution, we are moving water brought to land."
In my work, I can clearly see that by activating the body's fluid boosts our creativity, flexibility and vitality. My clients and students are feeling freedom and contentment as they learn to lean into their own fluidity.

"I spin on the circle
of wave upon wave
of the sea."
~Pablo Neruda
From my heart to yours, I wish you a lovely month, full of curiosity, deep conversation, movement, magic, nature and miracles.
Here's to Your Path,
Rachel
"Once in East Africa, on the shores of an ancient lake, I sat alone and suddenly it struck me what community is. It is gathering around a fire and listening to someone tell us a story."

Poetry Corner
The more you flow into existence,
the more existence will flow into you
It is always in the same proportion
Whatsoever you sow, you reap,
And whatsoever you give, you get.
So if you want to get more energy;
Give more energy
If you want to get more love;
Give more love.
If you want existence
to shower on you
Great torrents of bliss,
Then make people blissful
Wherever you go.
