Connect with Who You Truly Are with Keri Sender
I live between the Mountain and the Sea,My body is tough
and tender at the same time.
Every now and again I lose myself
in radio waves and computer screens,
but when my Bare Feet hit the Earth
a rush comes to my root
and when my head connects
to the Heavens above
I remember my
True Divine Nature...
I remember who I am again.
The dance floor became my refuge again.
Filled with a star-studded cast of characters that are the NYC 5RHYTHMS dance tribe.
I look deeply into a friend’s eyes and she mouths the words “I love you” as our dances wash each other clean.
A tribe member I don’t know yet makes loves to my legs, caressing all of the lines of my muscles and flesh with his soft touch in stillness.
I can feel my teacher dancing nearby.
An old lover appears before to me dance in partnership, and we feel each other’s energy with reverence as we each dance our own dance.
I thrust my hips in childlike play with my beloved dharma brother.
I feel my own dance become new.
I feel my dance in my yoni, but for the first time I notice her hunger isn’t what’s taking taking the lead.
Spirit is.
I catch myself trying to control my movements with my mind, and then surrender to the questions:
Spirit? Body? How would you like to move in this moment? Where would you like to go?
And I listen.
I pull my gaze away from watching how everyone else is dancing and how I can connect, and I bring my focus inwards. I dance deep into myself, allowing Spirit to become my muse and feeling the beats and melody in my bones.
The rhythms tug at my body and crash over me like waves on the Hawaiian shoreline.
I flow. I pump. I bounce. I shake. I breathe.
I let go.

Lenny Kravitz nailed it:
"We should take time out to really Love
We should find out who we really are"
My time inside the heart of NYC is getting me re-present to the sack of lies we are being sold...from consumerism to work ethic to our priorities in Life.
I see millions of miserable people being herded like cattle to their 9 to 5 jobs so they can make enough money to buy the meaningless shit they think will buy them happiness.
When will we BREAK FREE from the chains of the "shoulds", from how we've been told it's supposed to go and supposed to be and take the time to really BE ourselves?!?
To UNLOCK WHO WE REALLY ARE.
"All I want to do is just be Real And get off of the spinning wheel..."
P.s. I think this was too confronting for Midtown Manhattan because I got kicked off of the "private property" I was dancing on... It's all good though, I danced my way home.

I don’t know about you,
but it feels really hard to move forward these days.
I mean, I know it’s coming. I know it’s allll coming.
A part of me wants to just give up.
“It feels too hard.”
“I don’t want to do all of that work.”
(MY version of my fear).
And a part of me isn’t entirely sure how to Be Fully Me.
Maybe she’s too mean or too smart.
What if she causes some serious damage?
And then I get it --
she’s already been created anyway.
It’s already said and done.
So just Unlock Who You Really Are.
There’s nothing to do but Unlock Who You Really Are…
I write this as a reminder to myself and to all of us.
It is a time of great change and the answer is
to be Who We Really Are, to love and accept ourselves fully.
This is what will move the planet forward.
It’s not about protests,
or constantly reading about politics on your News Feed,
it’s about changing the outside by changing within.
It’s about doing the work, whatever that looks like for you.
And only you know what that is…
