Your Authentic, Embodied Expression is a Permission Slip For Others

LARA RAYBONE

The more you step into your authentic expression, you liberate others just through BE-ING!

You serve as an expander in their field.

The embodiment of what is possible.

Without all the ‘ick’ that comes with it from our conditioning.

Shame, guilt, fear that we thought ‘should’ come with the things we desire.

When someone else shows us what it can look like to not carry those associations,

We expand.

We expand past our perceived limits because we are aware of what IS possible.

The other day I went on a solo adventure to a waterfall for some deep replenishing.

I didn’t feel fully safe venturing alone to the highest point to the waterfalls (of which there were 3) and the access point was vertical rock scrambling, the thoughts crossed my mind “what if I fall, no one will know I’m here, I don’t know how popular this is etc etc”

Usually, I wouldn’t be phased, but something was holding me to wait where I was.

I saw two guys and one girl pass me and make their way to scramble the rocks, and something in me said, follow them.

I felt into their energy, and they felt warm, safe, playful.

So in the least creepy way possible, I did! haha

I basically followed them all the way to the central pool of this waterfall and asked if I could join them.

They welcomed me in.

After jumping and playing, laughing, talking & swimming, we decided to make videos & pictures of our experience.

For my turn, I wanted to be naked.

So I stripped.

Butt naked.

Unwaxed, unshaven, unencumbered.

Feeling so at ease in my body, so comfortable, so safe, so natural.

Then… everyone else decided to get naked for their shots too.

Liberated. Free. Expressed. Daring. Wild.

It was beautiful.

Through following my authentic desires & expression, and being fearless in it, without fear or judgement, made everyone else feel safe enough to lean further into theirs.

And they did the same for me, the way they laughed and played and joked together gave me permission to lean further into those aspects of myself.

As a society, we have sexualised bodies to only be reserved for sex. But, we ALL have them.

“We all have the same parts but organised differently” – Emily Nagnoski, Come as you are

So why the shame?

We have been taught to hide, taught to cover up, taught that pleasure is wrong, that our bodies are for the enjoyment of others, not for our own pleasure, our own enjoyment.

This post, yes, was inspired by an instance of actual nudity…

But let us ask ourselves… How can we get more naked in our expression?

How can we be more comfortable in our authenticity?

How can we strip back the layers of societal and religious programming and return to a state of pure expression?

Of sexual innocence?

To celebrate our bodies?

To love them?

To lean into every aspect of ourselves and liberate others through our own embodied expression??

Your embodiment is a gift.

A permission slip to aid and inspire others in their own liberation.

Be YOU.

ALL of you.

Trust in that.

I see dolphins jumping in and out of the ocean when I see you, I see conch shells. I also see depth & wisdom. You are a womb oracle. The magic that you bring the the womb space, I have chills running up and down my neck right now. You take the womb and make it into its own world, where we can just crawl up inside & rediscover who we really are and that no, i’ve not met anyone else who can do that and i’ve worked with womb healers. You glow and you’re an angel and I love you dearly."

"You take the womb and make it into its own world... i’ve not met anyone else who can do that!

I celebrate & honour the multidimensional Priestess that lives within you, the moment that I felt you, heard you speak and every Time you step into a space I feel the mother. I honour your choice to be on this path and to share these teachings with the world. And I mother fucking love your silliness too. You are just as beautiful inside as you are radiant outside, truly. Your soul shines. I love you, sweet one."

"You carry very deep feminine wisdom & codes, beyond what you realise & know. 

- Chelsey-Jo

When I think about you I feel so much fluidity, and water and flow and life force essence, just the purest feminine energy. Pure feminine juciness. Like in ancient Hindu philosophy there's the Universe, the ether, the energy, the feminine that IS, the paradox of Kali. Kali can be both crazy & destructive but Kali can also reincarnate as this loving, giving mother, and nurturing and this very giving lover as well and you ARE that. In our womb journey healing that we did together, I mean that’s been and will continue to be a big initiation for me, that I am still getting curious about and it came up in a conversation with a client the other day, that just this intuitive knowing that black holes are the wombs of the universe, and when I said that, i only know that intuitively because I entered my womb with you and that wouldn't have happened if i hadn't met you. Thank you.."

"YOU HOLD ALL THE PHASES OF WOMANHOOD IN THE HERE AND NOW. THE MAIDEN, THE MOTHER, THE CRONE, YOU EMBODY ALL OF THAT, AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE A WOMB PRIESTESS!

- Julianne

People can experience being in the womb again with you, but the healed womb, going back into that amniotic sac where I can be fluid & flow and know that i'm birthing into a place that's like so cosy and warm and exciting and it's like the removal of the distortions. You have this ability of rebirth through your medicine and your heart-womb connection is like this golden liquid light and it's just so incredible and to witness the way that you hold it is inspiring. And even witnessing you move through the waves it is still so fucking potent and knowing that you always return there, it's incredible. You are the embodiment of the calm in the centre of the storm. So thank you for helping me also remember. I’m grateful to be reunited and I love you."

"You are like the love fairy, the gushy, lovey, invitational, warm honey that just wants to be poured onto the self and immersed in it!

- Kelly

"It's taken me some time to give you a testimonial because I don’t even know how to verbalise, you know! And the thing that your essence is just like so pure & your level of beauty inside & out and your wisdom and I don’t know how to say this but you’re someone I would expect to completely trigger me but with  your purity, i’ve never felt that way about you at all. I’ve always just felt so loved and in equality with you even though you are just so magnificent. You hold every aspect of the feminine all at once, every phase, and I think that’s such a huge piece of your medicine. I love you, thank you."
