It’s not a day that goes by without regret of something not yet now and yet as we watch the bird on the wing, we often anticipate the way as we all go along…
Thank you for this reminder…- our shared path to our inner altars is also a sacred space of collective interconnectivity. We forget our responsibility to our own inner altar when we meet obstacles such as these last few years where “reality“ has shifted as if we were all living in a kaleidoscopic turbine of mixed forces. From the perspective of staying present, open and connected to what is emerging, I know I am passing through all sorts of release, where I welcome the flames of the sword as a purifying, an elemental initiation. Then I might be washed clean, perhaps more ready, entering that more fluid space of heart, and a deeper awareness from a different opening toward a Gladdened path of embodied joy & harmony. It is both solitary and multiply informed; these many dimensions and ways of knowing play us through time and space, shaping ‘the New’. Love matters most here.
Movalogue.org, a global community blending dialogue and movement has been organized with love. Join the meeting today for an open call at 10 AM Eastern! Originally organized seven years ago by a student of Arawana Hayashi, Dirk Brauniger, it is now global community of Embodiment Practitioners, using a lot of generative, scribing and n dialogue techniques
I like to imagine that I am Soil , like earth, in my generative listening practice. The task is to turn the soil as if we were wanting and asking the earth, the soil to open to the nutrients that are available when we turn it over, listening from a place that is inviting to space to welcome oxygen and more nutrients in.
When I am meditating, or engaged in a body centered activity I am in a very slow mental & emotional space. Not doing, just being. What happens typically is like tentacles drop and extend into space all around, opening it all up; it’s really very delightful. When I am working with groups or facilitating, or even in a one on one, I tried to stay in and with this quality of attention, and to keep this co-creative energy exchange quite clear and present. It is often amusing & fun. 🌞
thank you for the inspiring use of contrasting states of being to help humsnity co--evolve...
As welet go if suffering as a voluntary state and embracethe crestingof attention on loving what is...
if our sharedessence is more nourished by rooting with the currents of moving energy regardless of how we feel about them, that we will find afreedom torelax into a placeof deepawareness that invites joy and a motivation to seek harmony and fun in daily activities (work)
the rest is the magic of listening from our expanded hearts and rolling joyfully on the earth with others...
and trusting that new containers for shared action to benefit others arise from those places...
