This Little Jamie Went to the Bull Market
by Jamie Louise Bloom
If theres one thing that I've been hung up on all year, that's my desire to lose weight and create a better body. It first became an issue when I gave up raw food and started gaining weight at the start of the year, but then when I got intuitively in July that I wanted to play topless Jilly in the Bull Market scene for our final Magician's Way performance, my weight became a 24-hour obsession.
My coaching sessions on the topic with Peter and Liz were driving me crazy, because instead of giving me diet and exercise tips like I wanted, they kept getting seemingly irrelevant action steps, like: “Go out dancing with the girls” and “Love yourself and have fun.” I loved my coaches, but decided that they'd both obviously lost the plot, since I couldn't see how those steps were going to get me into shape so as to reveal my body to the world.
And so I ignored most of their advice and instead did the things that I thought would help me lose weight: I went to Bikram yoga, went running, went on a detox and even contemplated going on a week-long fast, but nothing was working. I wasn't stressed about baring my body because I thought I still had time to lose weight, but as time went on and still nothing was happening, I realised I was running out of time.
On the second last weekend of the training, William spoke about completeness, and about how we already had everything that we ever wanted, right now. Within the context of the workshop, I understood the concept, and could even apply it to a few areas of my life, but I couldn't apply it to my body. I wanted to be a gorgeous Goddess with long golden hair and a supple body, but when I looked in the mirror, that wasn't what I saw staring back at me. How could it be true if I didn't see it already?
And so I simply kept following my actions steps and on the weekend before the training, I attended my third Dancing the Divine workshop. Roxy, the facilitator, had completed The Magician's Way training a few years ago and now uses sacred sexual dance as a vehicle for women to express their beauty, love and sexuality in the world. I'd loved the first two workshops that I'd just done for fun, but this time I was on a serious mission: to learn to love my body.
It was a week until the performance and I had run out of time to lose weight. I realised that I wasn't going to be able to transform my body into the shape I wanted in under a week, and so I instead decided that I needed to transform my relationship with it. I had committed to dancing topless in the Bull Market scene and there was no way I was backing out.
Fortunately, the course gave me the magical formula that Roxy had promised it would, and by the end, I was really in my body and aware of just how amazing and beautiful it was: not after I'd lost 10 kilograms, but right now. Liz, who was my coach and also assistant to Dancing the Divine, agreed to dance with me in the Bull Market scene, and suddenly I was back on track and actually looking forward to the performance.
The night came and the other acts of our show rolled on, and as the time drew nearer, I started to freak out and go up into my head in nervous energy. It was at this time that Liz was there beside me, supporting me: “Come back to your body,” she said, gently.
I did. When it was time for the Bull Market scene, I actually became excited, and when our music came on to dance, the voice inside me said: “This is going to be fun!” And it was. Just like when I was in Dancing the Divine, I felt like it was the divine power dancing me, that it was out of my hands, and all that I had to do was let go and enjoy the ride. I shimmied, I shook, I took off my dress and danced topless in the Bull Market scene with Liz, just as I'd seen in my vision. And it was awesome. Willow and Cath had decided to be topless fire twirlers to accompany us, which burst my heart out of my chest in loving gratitude. Not only was I having an amazing time, but everyone else seemed to be too. I was happy I had gone for my vision, as scary and impossible as it had initially seemed.
Afterwards, I was inundated with people telling me how great it was and how beautiful we all looked, and as heart-warming as it was to receive their positive feedback, I realised it didn't matter. I had had an amazing time and created what I loved with my sisters, and that was all that was important.
The next afternoon in the closing ceremony, I shared what I had learned over the year-long training, which for me had culminated in the previous evening's performance. The key principle I'd learned was that I really did have everything I'd ever wanted, right now. I'd heard it in the previous weekend, but I'd finally got it.
Since first receiving my vision of being a gorgeous Goddess with long golden hair and a supple body, I'd gone through lots of ups and downs, during which nothing had changed, and yet, everything had changed. I hadn't become a gorgeous Goddess: I had simply let go of everything that had blinded me to the truth, and realised that I already was one.
What an amazing realisation, and what a profound training. Thank you so much William and Darren for enlightening us on what a magical world we have created.
