Women's Circle: The Body's Own Fire | No Hands

Low in the middle of your body, behind the pubic bone, there is a place that everything comes from. Tradition after tradition has called it fire. Most of us were taught to keep it quiet. Hold your belly in. Keep your legs together. Don't make a fuss. And we were taught that arousal arrives when somebody else does something to us. Your body can raise its own charge. Breath does it. Movement does it. Sound does it. We end the year with a gentle standing tremor and pelvic movement, then breath to build the charge, then a long stretch lying down, breathing slowly from the pelvis to the heart for long enough that something can start to move. Then complete stillness, and a proper conversation at the end. Some women find heat, trembling or a current rising. Some find very little the first time, and that is a real answer, not a failed morning. Fully clothed. Nobody touches anybody, and nothing is done to you at any point.
