Rediscovering My Body

By Tara Galeano

Sometimes we get lost and we need help to find our way. Sometimes we listen too much to what is happening outside ourselves and forget what is real for us. Sometimes this occurs continuously, creating a lot of noise, and it becomes difficult to discern what is true.

Dedication to

The divine energy within all women that nourishes and nurtures our bodies.

This is our birthright.

It is time we know this.

Kali, goddess of fire and destruction, burning with so much love and fierceness, protect us and help us protect.

Kali Ma, compassionately help us heal ourselves.

You are the mother of all, caring for all.

Let the healing begin here and ripple out.
