Strategies of La Belle Shabine


As soldier and leader, Solitude rode ahead of her troops,  risking her own life first. She won the loyalty of followers, but also made many enemies.

She was admired, she was also despised.

They said she was crazy - this is what they said about her:
"Elle laissait éclater, dans toutes les occasions, sa haine et sa fureur.... Et cette malheureuse allait devenir mère ! Solitude n'abandonna pas les rebelles et resta près d'eux, comme leur mauvais génie, pour les exciter aux plus grands forfaits."

Solitude died a great hero - brave, honest, loyal to her death, naked in her commitment and her vulnerability....

Reinvented as Belle - "La Plus Belle Shabine",  she employs new and radically different strategies.

Belle renounces violence.  It is essential to generate positive space, in order to welcome good spirits. It is imperative not to create suffering.

Belle protects her warrior identity  - she must not be known. Only true friends know her secret and stand guard.

All living beings can be allies - you must just find synch with their spirits.

Beauty is a tool of liberation.

Kindness is a strategy for liberation

Service is a tool for liberation.

Oils - prepare the skin to express Love.

Color - is the smile of Divinity.

Dance -  is  the Goddess - Freedom - made manifest

These constitute her new armour, her subterfuge, her Mask.
