My Hair Has Taken on A Life of Its Own

Posted on by Amy Hirsch

My hair has taken on a life of it’s own. I usually keep it super short and get it cut every 4 weeks. I seem to be hearing a little whisper that it has something to tell me and to keep letting it grow. Same with my nails.

This is VERY uncomfortable like my life right now. It’s unruly, frizzy and looks like an afro perched on top of my head!

And yet I wonder… what if I didn’t have to have everything soooo contained and controlled right now including my hair and nails?  What if I let them go to explore other options, stretch and elongate? What would they (and I) stretch into that is completely foreign and unknown to us? Can I sacrifice a little vanity to see where all this is leading?

Well, nothing is particularly familiar to me in my life right now so what have I got to loose? What if I didn’t snap right back into position like a rubber band that gets too stretched out and snaps back to it’s original shape?

What if I just keep stretching my neck out into the uncomfortable, yet exciting energy in front of me, sensing, smelling, feeling what’s out there and going wherever my senses lead me?

  • Annie Gelfand Hahaaa!! LOVE this! When I went to my first faciltiator’s training in Costa Rica, it was super humid and literally my hair defied gravity. And I was totally cool with it and actually grateful for it! Such a distinct difference from when I was a child when I would do ANYTHING for my hair to be straight. Let your hair ROCK Amy smile emoticon heart emoticon

  • Annie Gelfand Gloria my mom ironed it with a towel over my hair on the table because we didn’t have an ironing board and she hated my curls so I did too. My hair is still VERY curly! And now I am so grateful for it. It is such a contribution to me.
