I would like to share with you experience from dark room. I went there for second time in my life, the first one was 2 years ago for one week and big and beautiful changes started to happen since then. But its different story This time I spent there the end of the year from 31/12 to 2/1. I didnt have any specific intension, december was very intense moth for me and i just felt i needed to be alone for few days. The second day i started to feel tension in the left side of my face, so I was watching it and it leaded to my heart where i could feel big pain, i went inside and after some time i found there a little girl crying. Yes it was me and I burst to cry too. Then I asked her why is she crying and she told be because she was hurt and not loved and also that she is worried to become a mature woman and the feminine power. I asked her to forgive me to not to hear her crying for a long time and assured that i love her and that love is a remedy for that pain. And also that she neednt worry about becoming a woman, that it is a amazing gift that we embrace together and enjoy fully. And that it doesnt mean she will loose her innocence and playfulness. And we stayed there hugging for a long time until we dissolve in each other. All the time I felt stream of energy coming from my womb into my heart. Then i felt asleep and the old dreams that i forgot about started to come up. All connected to my female ancestros and woman with animal masks. It was like a highlight of the work that was done during the summer. The pain in my heart dissapeared as well as pain in my left shoulder blade. And I want to thank you, Orly, for opening the door to sacred femininty for us. I deeply honour your work and feel so blessed to have such an amazing inspirative woman in my life. And also big thank to my sisters that became part of this process for your support, love and friendship. I wish for all of us to be in deep touch with sacredness of life. Love you all.
