MOVING TO AUSTIN!!! 
Update on the big move to AUSTIN TX!!

"I've been known for one thing
I come and then I go

Now the days turn into weeks
You and this town are growing on me

We could put some roots down
All I want is you now
You know I'm done, you know I'm done running

We could put some roots down"

--------------------------------
After many years of travels and nomad-life, I am finally trying out "settling down." 
This month, Chris Huttenhower is flying in and we are driving my car all the way to Austin, where I will have my FIRST APARTMENT all by myself.

The move was motivated by a desire for more community, close friendships, being way more involved in a big city, transformation of myself and my business, and one amazing guy...

I guess one never truly knows if where they choose to start a life is where they will end up down the road.. but regardless,
I think I'm finally ready to put some roots down <3 <3 

To me, dance is magic....

It's that moment when you are listening so close to what is happening inside of you, that the space between the two of you becomes a universe in itself
And the smallest micro movements transport you into the most beautiful sadness or the most profound ecstasy
The world beyond the two of you becomes blurred..
And your world becomes the one you create together in the lifetime that is those two minutes...

Dance & Tantra
---------
Dance just might be my favorite tantric practice.

For me, it's a practice of truly listening-
The building of my desires- to move, to flow, to be
The inspiration of the music and what it stirs inside myself and another
The sensation of the lightest touch on my arm...
The mini check-ins with the human moving beside me

And a meditation-
A reminder to be my full self in connection with another
Utilizing the space that my partner offers to express my own internal flow, emotion, and expression
To find pleasure in the space created for me and the space I create for myself...

Magic... 
Dance...
Tantra...

When we Sat in Silence
-------------------------
"Everybody’s looking for a love to start a riot..
But every time I look in your eyes,
The world gets quiet.

'Cause I knew I was in love with you
When we sat in silence..."

<3 <3

This is how I feel about this guy. From the moment we first shared time (cuddling for an hour and a half at my cuddle party), it was as if everything faded away and there was just us, breathing together, our heartbeats syncing almost immediately. And everything got so beautifully... quiet.

Love doesn't have to be loud and fiery and chaotic. Sometimes the most profound love can be quiet, slow, and seemingly endless...

Song: 
Spotify – Silence - song and lyrics by Before You Exit
With Chris Huttenhower 

Dance, singing, art- they are all practices that help us get in touch with our bodies and ourselves.
So are tantric practices...

But tantric practices (specifically more intimate/se-ual ones) vs these other practices:
Are like a torch vs a match
Or weight-lifting vs yoga
Or meditating on a busy street in NY vs a calming yoga studio.

They all have a place;
But tantra is my favorite.

Because if I can experience erotic freedom there,
In a place that has been so shut-down, scripted, and repressed,
then I can, and will be, better able to do so in other, daily areas of my life.
​
And that is what it is really about...
Freedom and joy in ALL areas of my life...
Not just the se-ual.
