Transcript of Gabrielle Roths’ empowering speech to retrieve our souls:

The important thing to realize is that Chaos has two sides; it has a shadow side and that’s when it’s not grounded. And that just is a panic. It’s like living in a panic room.

And if we’re not careful we’re moving in the direction of living in a panic room, because we are taking in so much information and we’re not grounding it. And we’re holding it on to it; it’s not passing through us.

We’re like, you know, we’re like CNN Headline back here. We have all kinds of data, we have so much data and so many things and so much to hold on to, that it’s imperative that we have a practice where we can remember how to let go.  That we have a practice that we can remember our feet.

If we’re not in, if we’re not at home in our own bodies and we’re not in the instrument that’s tuned in to all the changes; and so we’re not picking up, you know, our messages in the big chatroom, we’re so busy in that small little chat room picking up all these ‘important’ messages,  we are on a trip instead of a journey.

You know, I think of David Byrne in the Talking Heads, it was like such a brilliant title for a band, because we had become and we have still the possibility of being Talking Heads.

Disconnected from our personal truth, disconnected from our personal power, disconnected from our centers, from our roots, from our ancestors, you know, disconnected from a divine intelligence, from source, from something bigger than us that drives us, and moves us, and holds us, and rocks us, and shapes us.

We have become disconnected from the things that are valuable to us as human beings. What is it to be a human being? Human be-ing! It’s emotion, it’s a dance, it’s an energy, it’s something spontaneous and brilliant and original. And we have lost that! I say that we have to retrieve our souls!
