Letting Go

Letting go—of everything I think (or thought) I wasor thought or knew (or thought I knew?) of all the loves and hates and draws and revulsions and longings— breathing in the presentmomentbodyawareness Holding the lumps and spiralsand awkward tender vulnerability of unknowingnessIn the belly of my shaky heart Watching the way I clingand then avoid the voidand then pull closer just to run away Seeing all of the shadows come out to playIn the gaze of another human mirror And breathing—Holding the tender, awkward awarenessOf all of the ways I have been andAll of the pain it has caused And letting go—Of knowing how or why they will everTransmute themselves into fertile soil And just—Breathing. Holding this tender self in the bellyOf a brand new mother’sUnsure bosom.

Jane Mayer

Jane Mayer is a medicine woman, creative, doula, and guide to the unseen realms, who delights in supporting humans and Earth in coming fully alive. Alongside supporting private clients, she writes, records and performs music, and guides a school for creativity and awakening.

A keeper of song and a lover of mythos, her practice is borne of the weaving of indigenous medicine from Peru, Hawaii and Ireland, the Christian mysticism of her home in the deep South, and a depth of knowledge in the nervous system, subtle body, and the somatic experience of awakening.

She holds deep trust in the wild intelligence of nature to guide all of Creation, and orients others to their deeper nature and innate gifts with sound, myth, dreams, plant, energy medicine and somatic integration.

She is devoted to the heart of all things, sacred union, and the liberation of all beings. To learn more, visit iamjanemayer.com.
