I came across this song from an artist I never heard before. When music enters my life like this, there is always a meaning. I look for the signs and the message that comes along with as to why I discovered this particular song. Sometimes it is the melody, the voice or the lyrics that grab me or sweep me away. Sometimes it becomes a theme song to a battle I’m fighting, as if to help me through the night. Sometimes the carefree nature of the song or video reminds my to be unique and authentic. To not see things so seriously, to have mysterious moves and dance like no one is watching. To let my body express the emotions in its own beautiful weird way, and to always keep music within my heart. Perhaps it is all of the above with this artist and the lyrics and the song speaks to me as well as the voice and the moves as if harvesting and shadow dancing with the unseen. The last time this happened was with an artist named Mogli and my post called Road Holes. ❤️
We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other.
Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other.
This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place.
My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire.
Who I am in a nutshell...
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master.
I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago.
I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars.
I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter.
I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self.
This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes.
Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

I read your words first, so beautifully expressed, and was struck by your phrase “and the moves as if harvesting and shadow dancing with the unseen.” Then I watched the two videos and when I got to ‘Falling water’, I understood the phrase. Actually, watching it brought tears to my eyes, it’s quite sad and deep, especially watching the passionate strength with which she expresses herself with her body movements, it looks like angst. I could imagine you dancing and singing to it like that, Rhapsody. As much as I can see why you love and identify with this music, by all means, throw yourself into it, but be careful, if you stay with this track too long, my love, its energy will impact you deeply, as all music does, and you need to keep a sense of balance, just be aware, precious one, I know you are sensitive to emotions, so I trust you will feel it and understand what I mean, and you may experience it differently than I do, anyway.
Yes, she has a beautiful voice, thank you for bringing her to me too.
I know what you mean here and what you are saying. Music for me is powerful, a means to express when words fail or end. Music for me is versatile and I like many different styles and genres. Each song has its timing and I never stay long in just one place. It serves a purpose for a mood, a part of the journey. I can see it at angst too but I think I see it more as letting go of all control. It’s so unpredictable when it comes to the moves, so imaginary, uncontrolled to me. So much how things are like now with Mom. Today was awful and I had to write about it and move my tarot post for one more day to keep things relevant. 😔
Yes, I quickly guessed that was what had happened with the posts. I think you were wise to write about it, it helped you to get it out in words, I imagine, and enabled others to offer support, which will help you feel strengthened, I hope. I am glad you understand what I mean about the music, I was pretty sure you would. In the meantime, enjoy the music and remember your swords. I am sending you my love and support and thinking of you. xx
Oh wow what a great honor, I am speechless. Besides having no clue how to do that. 😔 im such a rookie with those things. Do I just write a post and link to your blog by mentioning it? Dog related topics? You see I’m a rookie and you’d probably wonder what you got yourself into it. I’d be delighted to, honestly. Thank you for your consideration, too kind. Hugs
Ha! You, rookie?! I’m the one honored. If you wanted to write something dog – themed, or incident that reminded you of dogs, wolves, or such nonsense. I’d post it in my WordPress.
👍👍
