'Why am I SO angry at the moment?'
This is a sentiment I've heard a lot recently. And I have a lot to say about that. A lot to say about a lot, as per. A lot to say about somatic/movement practices that ask you to regulate without making space for the absolutely fu**ed up experience of living in, as someone termed it recently, 'p**o hi**er world'. You SHOULD be angry. Angela Davis said it best, 'I have never used yoga as an end in itself but merely as a means to prepare myself for a more effective struggle.'
The Q***r Joy Movement was built off the back of a moment of anger - the silence and submission of wellness communities fu**ed me off so bad I became loud and unapologetic, and the supreme court ruling last year fu**ed me off so bad I built a business about it. There's power in your rage if you let yourself channel it.
I want to be clear - I believe WHOLEHEARTEDLY in joy and rest as radical practices. For those of us for whom just existing is exhausting, this IS radical. But there is no joy and no rest without also looking at and saying hi to the rage that I know for most of us, simmers right at the surface, that has us shaking with it. I'm not gonna do pain p**n here and point out every single horrific thing going on in the world - we all know it, we all see it, every day, abroad and also on our doorsteps, in our homes. There has to be space for us to be with that, to move through it in community and in an embodied way.
I believe in QJM to the depths of my soul because it creates space for both: the nourishing and beautiful joy that comes from existing in a safe and celebratory space, and the honesty of lifting the lid on collective pain and rage, and of saying 'what do we do with this'?
That's what Embodying Rage is for - how do we move with it, through it, and alchemize it.
Anyway idk, insert promo for my business, I was told to talk about my new class, capitalism is hell.
I love you, you're doing amazing.
