Underworld

Within the darkness, we discover a light.

It is through our wounding that we move into our inner self, discover our resources, our character, our sacred essence, and, calling on that, release the healing capacity within.

Early Egyptians believed in a topside world and a bottom-side world, an underworld. The underworld is our occasional descent into darkness, chaos, confusion. These are difficult moments, often terrifying, usually life-altering.

An occasional descent into this underworld forces us to look at things in a new way. We discover our wounds are openings into the invisible world of spirit. The more familiar we become with this natural cyclic process of descent and ascent, the more comfortable we become with the process of becoming whole.

Life prunes away those things in us that detour us from our essence.
