Once change comes, it often comes in multiples, ranging from easily handled small changes, to the great ones that can become unwieldy. When this happens it can scatter our forces, making it harder to achieve order & staying power. There is, however, a calm center to everything. Even a tornado swirls around a calm eye. Most calm places are very small, but even a small cell of tranquility can become a seed for greater peace. Utilize this choreography, to find the still point that revolves with you, wherever you go, & in doing so, turn toward wonder, & the quiet formation of contentment. Explore the way you move when you are woven into the web of being. Measure out as much balance, as you can, for yourself, by caring for the qi you have inherited, and qi you are consciously accumulating through the practice of clean living. Thich Nhat Hahn spoke about the human manic tendency to avoid the painful places in our lives. We avoid, avoid, avoid, and if we can toggle into the polarity, which is embrace, embrace, embrace, then we can hold space for the healing and transformation, that is housed in the practice, and embedded in the terrain of daily life. The holding of this inner space, is what allows us to know grace, even when things are immensely imponderable. In the movement from personhood to presence, we get to the truth of who we really are. Through somatic inquiry & investigation, an alloy is developed in the spine, malleability of mind becomes available, & a deep feline-like quality of contentment is embodied. These techniques are expanders, that create a coherence between head, heart, hand, and Hara. When these connections are alive, then victory is your creation, and joyful living is your reality. Get to the why, under the dance. Use your practice to get very clear about what you must fulfill, before you leave this life, so you can then behave accordingly. Thank you for being part of this community of practice, wherein our aloneness becomes at-oneness… we are remembering together. There are very few things that will give us such abundant returns, as to take this daily time, to tune into the body, to iron out the irregularities of mind, and to continuously create anew.
