WHY 👠??? If you know me at all, you know I never do anything without deep feeling and deep meaning - and I’ve never told you why I started practicing and teaching this form of movement…If you’ve ever been shamed, heartbroken, lied to, betrayed, told you’re not enough, scared to be yourself, lacked confidence and felt deep self hate, afraid to have female friends due to jealously and judgement, worried about what people think…FUCK ALL OF THAT. You have one life, all of you is welcome, people will fall away that can’t handle or don’t want to face the intensity of all dimensions of the human experience.If you want to DANCE and you want to TRANSFORM how you show up in your beautiful body, with a big open heart and a fearless presence, the heels dance community is for you 👠🤍🖤♥️💜 This community has helped me come out of so much judgement of self and other. It has opened me to an entire new level of inner fire. Dancing is truly a spiritual experience. Anyone who can’t see it simply hasn’t dropped out of the fabricated mental constructs that keep one imprisoned in fear.Yes, we historically have something to fear when it comes to expressing this part of ourselves as women or any other vulnerable population. And is that changing? Absolutely yes. Be unafraid. There is so much power inside you ⚡️🔥👠The next class I’m teaching is THIS SUNDAY 9/14. If this resonates with you, be brave and show up. Your voice and your expression are Needed! 🫶🏼⚡️🤍👠#heelsdance #heelsdanceclass #breakup #breakupstory by @sineadpatience

(PART 4) what if what “i” want isn’t what life wants to do “through me”?Currently in the process of confronting the idea that certain things “feel important”, almost as if there is an innate motivation to do/share/speak them This is in contrast to the idea that “my culture told me that XYZ = success, happiness, fulfillment, etc”. When I began meditation practice at age 18, I was so angry…at myself. I thought, “I need to be better” - yet I was already quite phenomenal. looking from the outside, in: Class president, skipping two grade levels in math, D1 college track athlete, attending one of the top 5% universities in the country, “perfect body”, wealthy family, played 2 instruments, etc.That’s the thing about reality though - it’s not just what we SEE, or can categorize as “successful” or “unsuccessful”. Our *experience* of this life is based on our own MIND, not the external circumstances of our life. My life was extraordinarily FULL of blessings. So many opportunities. But my mind? I was in hell. I hated myself. I could never be satisfied and always felt the need to do more, achieve more, blah blah blah (sound familiar? So many humans feel this!)All that self-hate was amazing though - because I developed an insane level of discipline, ability to sacrifice, and strong concentration. And now? I’m using it for something else besides self-gain…What MENTAL DISCIPLINE taught me is that I construct my perceptions - of the world, others, and of myself. Even of the story I am writing to you now - it is but one interpretation of the many ways I could frame the past.Ultimately, to release myself from my mental prison of dissatisfaction, to let go of ALL the stories I was telling about myself and my circumstances, I had to let my ambition dissolve. It wasn’t that I stopped working hard - that passion took a new form 🦋I started investing energy in OBSERVING, FEELING, LISTENING - all very different than what we’re trained to focus on as children.What this observation has led me to in the last 6 years since completing my doctoral studies is a life full of PEACE, FLOW, and PASSION.(Continued 👇� by @sineadpatience

(PART 3) FROM DEPRIVATION to DIVINE DESIRE: the importance of PHYSICAL DISCIPLINE - and making the body uncomfortable on purpose in order to more deeply listen to its needs.What if expression of sensuality is actually a form of FREEDOM from self-judgement around PLEASURE and DESIRE? Not from connection with another person - but as a result of the connection to your own ALIVENESS?I used to be so judgmental of “provocative girls”. For many, many years did my 3 hours of daily yoga and meditation, studied for hours, avoided boys like the plague, etc. What changed?I stopped denying my own desires for fear that society would shame me. Even more than that - I stoped IDENTIFYING with the label “I am X type of girl”. Instead, I started to pay attention to what actually felt TRUE in my physical experienceDid I want to neglect sleep and feel constantly exhausted so I could be ‘successful’? Did I need to exercise 3+ hrs/day to have ‘the perfect body’? Did I have to avoid all intimacy bc I feared judgement, rejection, and loss?Once I started to allow myself to feel more ENJOYMENT IN JUST BEING ALIVE, it did not matter how much I had achieved, how beautiful my body was or was not, how wanted I felt.It was a PROCESS.Here’s how I went from DENIAL OF DESIRES to EMBRACING ALIVENESS Notice: i did not say moving from denial to indulgence - I did not use these powerful creative wild feelings to go chase a bunch of money, s*x, or power - I CHANNELED these feelings into SELF-LOVE. Instead of 3+ hrs of daily yoga, eating only cucumbers, and pretending like a don’t have a s*x drive, now I honor my body’s NEED for pleasure and nourishment and connection via a DAILY spiritual practice.For me, intense denial of my body’s needs is what helped me RESPECT and understand those needs.

(PART 2) “DESIRE IS DESTINY” ✨if you find yourself striving for a certain set of #bodygoals or #careergoals and regularly exerpience cycles of intense work + high productivity, followed by (large or small) crash outs, feeling like you’re “never enough”, or only happy if your body or your bank account look a specific way - keep reading.Recently, I’ve felt inspired to share my relationship with DESIRE. One thing you might never know about me just looking at a few of my IG videos is my intense devotion to meditation and spiritual practice…What started as strong physical discipline and mental discipline in school and athletics transformed into “spiritual discipline”, or to put it another way, a deep commitment examining the nature of reality.💥 I explored this through a very intense period of devotion to yoga, a daily qigong practice of 1-4hrs, 15+ years of annual silent meditation retreats, and essentially removing myself from all social activity for multiple years🤔Ultimately, looking back, I realize I went so intensely diving into my “inner world” because of how intense my own desires and cravings were.I feel intense passion ❤️‍🔥 I push back around being told what to do, how to do it, or how society says I “should” operate within its constructs.At the same time, I feel a deep sense of duty to feel respected so that my voice can be heard. ^^They don’t always seem to go together 😆 but they can! How?After all of that DEPRIVATION, DEVOTION, and DENIAL of my humanness, I entered a beautiful state of being. The main take away?HAPPINESS is NOT a RESULT of reaching the “GOAL”Life has UPs and DOWNs. But in the end, we will loose everything, including our own body.What makes the human spirit flourish is ACCEPTANCE of whatever IS - being okay when things “don’t feel good”.This is what making myself extremely uncomfortable during intense periods of devotion taught me.So my first question to you is -What do you do when something doesn’t feel good? Do you turn to food? S3x? Over-working? Scrolling? (Continued 👇)📷 @houseofdelene by @sineadpatience

(PART 1) As someone who at the age of 19 decided to not drink, smoke, nor partake in any kind mind-altering substance, and has had only one relationship of 7-years, eats nothing but farmer’s market food, does not watch TV nor movies, and spends 2-4 weeks of every year in meditation retreat, you might think I am in denial of desire…Yet, from the dancing I share, my self expression, my fearlessness as a person, you might assume I am “wild”.However, what is very hard to see from the surface is how much ⚡️discipline, devotion, and structure⚡️ has gone into creating a life (and more importantly, a mind-space) where I feel FREE.Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing things I’ve never shared before about my journey of healing my relationship with DESIRE, as well as various forms of craving, and with allowing myself to feel pleasure (not the kind of pleasure you might think).While it will likely take an entire book (and multiple years) to elaborate on how I completely released and transformed an intense DENIAL of my desires (WITHOUT necessarily indulging in them, by the way…!), leading me to achieve my #bodygoals , my ideal career, and a life devoted to creativity, I will start by sharing this:There is NOTHING more pleasurable than PRESENCE. But the journey there (HERE), can be shockingly illusive. To get “here” requires non-judgment - patience - trust - bravery - a willingness to let go of what you “think” you should do or who you “think” you should be, and just let ⚡️ALIVENESS⚡️move through you…however it wants to.I did not choose my life as a dancer, a teacher of somatic movement, qigong, and yoga, an acupuncturist and an herbalist - it chose ME as I surrendered to ALIVENESS (a deep allowing of my body’s and my heart’s needs and greatest longings…)In my head, my life should look different. In my heart, I am at PEACE. To me, nothing is more valuable.I have decided to focus my energy on a new business I will soon announce as a result of RAW DOGGING REALITY for many, many years. To be continued! 🌱 💚📸 @houseofdelene 🖤 by @sineadpatience

If you’ve ever wondered a bit about my story - how I created the life that I live sharing my Acupuncture, qigong, and dance classes in three different states, working for myself, learning to be unafraid of the judgment of other people for the sake of feeling free in my own heart, learning how to balance my health with working very hard, and other such things, here is a little piece of that story 🫶🏼 last fall, I started to share it a bit on TikTok 🙃 I have so many passions and so many projects that often makes me wish there were more hours in the day. One of the projects that I will soon be announcing is deeply connected to my wish to help people enjoy life more by transforming judgment around desires. I do that primarily through teaching people how to move their body in a way that doesn’t deny pleasure. More on that later…While the projects and the passion will never end, this year has been a lot about bringing back the importance of community and spending time enjoying life with loved ones. My whole life I’ve been very focused on achievement, both in the sense of skill building and in what some might call spiritual attainment. While I will always continue to push to learn and become more aware, spending time with people that make me feel safe and seen is the medicine lately.This is very different than my hyper independent past. I am very interested to see where this goes as I make some really big life changes… Announcements coming soon! 🏝️ 🌇In the meantime, I invite you to check out my dancing, my stretch classes, and my life story reflection banter on my TikTok page if you would like more of that sort of thing🫶🏼(@ dance_4_plants) by @sineadpatience
