In Full Bloom

The Art of Embodying Summer

“There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.”
— Rumi

June is the month of embodiment.

Where May invited us to bloom, June asks us to live in full color. This is not the beginning—it is the becoming real. It’s when we stop rehearsing and start inhabiting. Our desires, our rhythms, our truths. The energy of summer doesn’t tiptoe in—it arrives like a heartbeat, steady and strong.

The world is lush, ripe, alive. So are we.

Living in Full Bloom

June is the sacred yes. The unapologetic inhale. The moment we stop watching life from the edges and start dancing in the middle of it.

Where in May we opened, in June we own it.

This is your reminder: You do not need permission to take up space.
You are already worthy of the sunlight on your skin, the joy in your belly, the softness in your voice.

Ask yourself:
What am I ready to embody more fully?
Where have I been dimming my light to keep others comfortable?
What does aliveness feel like in my body, today?

The Wild Woman Walks in Her Power

June belongs to the woman who knows herself.
Not perfectly. But intimately. She trusts her senses. She follows the pull of pleasure, not pressure. She no longer negotiates her worth or mutes her magic.

She is heat and honey.
She is both lightning and lullaby.
She is done apologizing for taking up space.

The feminine in June is sovereign. She doesn’t seek validation—she radiates self-recognition.

This is a month to feel everything more vividly: the sweat, the sun, the sacred ache of becoming real. To walk barefoot not just in nature, but in your own truth.

We spiral deeper now. Not to disappear—but to reclaim.

Ways to Embody Your Feminine Power This June

Awaken your senses. Eat fruit with your fingers. Light incense that smell like summer. Let the wind kiss your skin. Sensuality is your superpower.

Practice embodiment. Not just movement—presence. Slow yoga. Mirror work. Breathing into your belly. Let your body teach you what your mind forgot.

Say the thing. The truth you’ve been tiptoeing around? Speak it. Write it. Scream it into the ocean. Your voice is part of your power.

Lead with joy. Make decisions not just from logic, but from what feels good. Let ease be your compass. Let desire be your guide.

A True Story of the Feminine

The Healing of Anna Halprin

In the 1970s, dancer and choreographer Anna Halprin was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors gave her a prognosis. The world expected her to shrink. But Anna, already a pioneer in expressive movement, turned inward—and began to dance for her life.

She created a healing journey rooted in the wisdom of the feminine body—not just treatment, but embodiment. Not just surviving—but reclaiming.

She painted her body. She moved with the rhythm of her own fear and hope. She gathered women in ritual. She created the “Circle the Earth” performance to honor the body as sacred, as wise, as healer.

And she healed.
Not just her body, but her relationship to it.
She once said:

“I don't want to hide my body—I want to honor it. This is my truth. This is my life.”

Anna didn’t just survive cancer—she lived into her feminine power more fully than ever. She taught thousands of women that their bodies were not shameful or broken, but portals of creativity, wisdom, and healing.

She kept dancing into her 90s.

Anna’s story is a reminder:
The feminine is not passive.
It is not ornamental.
It is a force of nature.
It moves through us—grieving, laughing, bleeding, birthing, creating.

To be feminine is not to be weak—it is to be wildly resilient.
To soften and stay open, even when the world tells you to close.
To dance, even in the dark.

Movement Ritual is a series of structured movements devised by Anna Halprin to help release tension, expand range of movement, and spark creative expression. Learn to slow down, listen to bodily sensations, and explore dances to renew and restore energy.

Anna Halprin’s 5-Part Movement Ritual

1. Awareness

“Begin by listening.”

• This step invites you to slow down and tune into your body.

• Feel the sensations: Where is there tension? Openness? Stillness?

• Movement begins from awareness—no forcing, just noticing.

• Ground into your breath. Let the body initiate.

Try: Close your eyes. Place a hand on your heart and one on your belly. Breathe deeply. Notice what’s alive in you right now.

2. Exploration

“Follow the body’s impulse.”

• Begin to move gently and intuitively.

• Let one body part lead—maybe your hand wants to circle, or your spine wants to sway.

• There's no choreography here. This is about curiosity, not correctness.

Try: Put on music without lyrics. Let your body lead the way—start small, and follow what feels natural or necessary.

3. Expression

“Let it out. Let it move through.”

• This is the emotional release phase—movement becomes cathartic.

• Dance your joy, grief, anger, longing.

• Use voice, sound, breath—whatever needs to move.

Try: Set a timer for 5–10 minutes. Move like no one’s watching. Let it be messy, beautiful, honest.

4. Integration

“Make meaning of what you moved.”

• After movement, take time to reflect.

• This is where ritual meets meaning—turn your experience into something sacred.

• Halprin often used art-making, like drawing or journaling, to capture what arose.

Try: Draw your movement as shapes or colors. Or write a few words: What did your body teach you?

5. Grounding / Affirmation

“Close the ritual with reverence.”

• Come back to stillness.

• Honor the body for what it revealed.

• Affirm your presence, your aliveness, your truth.

Try: Lie on the ground. Place your hands on your body. Whisper a truth you discovered.
"I am here. I am whole. I am home."

“Through movement, we find our way back to our original selves. To the parts of us that never forgot how to feel.”
