INNATE ALCHEMY – RESTORATIVE SESSION

Find some good headphones and a soft, quiet, comfortable place to receive this guided meditation. An invitation into the you within you, to the good friend of the essence self. It is our regular connection to this sacred inner terrain that feeds the fruit of a good life, and is the whole of a whole life. It is our connection to inner wholeness that allows our innate genius and original medicine to emerge. Let yourself rest inside this practice, breathing in the fertile union of ebb and flow, like silk in the breeze, filled, fueled, quiet, connected, & still. Stillness is what creates love, movement is what creates life. To be still and still moving, this is everything.

THE RISK OF BLOSSOMING – PRACTICES TO REMOVE THE TARNISH OF THE MIND

There are no pre-requisites for rest. You don’t have to be burnt out, you definitely don’t need permission. You don’t have to be sick, you don’t have to have been hauling ass for 7 years… before you deserve it. Rest is a basic human right. Practice can help to create the context, for factoring in more high quality restoration into our lives, so we aren’t procrastinating as a way of steeling rest. Practice is a multi-faced mirror, a remedy & a roadmap for when feeling lost. It is a space for making sense of what seems senseless… it is a nourishment at all kinds of levels. Every big beginning has its start is some kind of pause, some moment of stillness. Make space for this, for yourself, so to begin the growing of your deepest dreaming. The biggest hurdle is just starting. Even the most immaculate bloom has a dirty beginning, and the evidence of small beginnings are found in the big magic everywhere: in the oak trees, fallen leaves, new grass, in every hole in the ground, in the scent of skin, in healing herbs, in the rain & dust & moon, and in the magnificent majesty on the inside of each of us. Every moment is either a distraction or an inspiration and its your dedication that leads the way. So keep doing you, because there is no confirmation number in this process of awakening. Become an auteur of improbable victory. Everything is possible even if it hasn’t happened yet. Like the flying fish, defying what we believe to be possible. Keep taking one leap of faith at a time, and with each leap of faith, you are building a launching pad for what is next, as you beam for the future.

HAIKU – QIGONG GATHERING

Turn your heart toward the mystery and meaning found in your warm breathing body, moving by its own law, soft and intimately connected through every atom, opening from cell to cell to cell, become a natural reservoir of grace. Inhaling the articulations of ancient templates and maps embedded in your ecosystem, in the legacy of your limbs, in the hieroglyphs of your hair and DNA. Let the practice be a Haiku, reviving your instincts, allowing emptiness, for every gesture a safe passage into an unapologetic, inimitable wildness that has everything to do with your subtle body intelligence, and the unique codes that make you – You. There is an an ecstatic dignity, an opportunity to belong, to the flow, to the breath, to the inside of the form and the outside of the form. Ultimately we use shape to find our shapelessness, to remove the tarnish of the mind, and to pass through the door, into infinite spaciousness. Uncomplicated, unimpeded, relevant, & poetic we are, particularly when we are alert and restful in our essence self while expressing. Fill the bellows of your lungs with energy, pour hope into the bones, harmonize the polarities, and transform your lead into gold. Marinate in your intrinsic biology, your unstructured anatomy, that pre-dates any of the stories or experiences that keep can keep a person identified with the so-called solid body. You are the stillness inside of all movement. You are the unchanging in all changefulness, emptiness is your natural state. Move so as to return to your own primordial lap, and to the great cosmic vault, where every original instruction is written, in the form of sublime sensations, upon the walls of your inner belly, and in the part of you that knows, without the mind. Happy inside yourself… let this truth sing from your bones.

ROOM WITH A VIEW – ACTIVATION SET

We’ve all been traveling our whole life to get to this moment. This moment can be the moment, when the inner pilot light ignites. Yield to a dynamic urge that becomes an urgency that becomes a burning sense of emergency that allows a seeker to emerge, to activate around life, like our hair is on fire, and to cease in that same moment from being a seeker. In this moment we can say yes, to seeing without eyes, to knowing without mind, and to being without being occupied or preoccupied with what might come next. To catch flame with the fire for freedom, right now. This is not an anxious iteration of now, rather the now that remains when the personality disappears. It is the vastness that arises, filling one with an existential eros, a longing to go on as the blossom, and to not go back into the bud. To hear and to heal, and to use any sense of helplessness to become better helpers. To identify when we have gone fetal around something & to transfigure the tendency, so to find ourselves at the frontline of life. To pay the truth service, not just the lip service and to have the inner resources for transforming drama into dharma. Practice is a kind of titration that allows one to become a more accelerated and integrated truth pattern, breath by breath, day by day. Truth patterns that allow one to walk into a room, attuned, generous, & ready to help hold and make safe in this hot time in history. Use these tools to better follow the guardian angels that are your gut feelings and to go from having a monkey mind to having a monk’s mind. Develop your inclination toward restoration, and wake up the brain so you can stay creative while moving from unknown to unknown.

ALGORITHMS FOR THE MIND

This session is a well balanced flow of dynamic meditations that segue into a deep mudra mantra set. The work of Integrative Practices invites us out of the claustrophobia caused by concept, & into an experience of the truth that lies within us all. Very often time, these practices are a fast track for cutting through the distortion of the mind, leading us straight into the energy of the heart. The generative friction, of that shift, strengthens the power of our concentration, stimulated gratefulness, and positions us to witness — as neither experiencer or experience. Use this set to get clear about the How & Why, in the Here & Now. Savor that feeling, of when the practice ‘really works.’ Steep in it, like leaves dancing in water that become the infusion that heals & transforms. Even just a few moment, of dissolving into the accommodating radiance, that allows all life to exist, will clear the channels, so you can keep yourself in a state of receptivity.

PHOSPHORESCENT GUSTO – QIGONG GATHERING

Engage the martial art of listening, to the low drone of the blood moving within, as it nourishes your deep Yin nature. Really give yourself permission to feel again, to emerge from illusion and integrate with the you within you. Your practice is between you and you, you and your body, and you and your breath, so all you need is your willingness. In this first Qigong Gathering of Spring, we hold the majesty of the Fiddle Head Fern as our somatic muse. Open yourself to the wisdom of the invisible, to where all life begins. Reconnect with primal truths and patterns of wisdom, along the contours and within the core. Have a conversation with creation, harvest messages from your edge, and witness how your creativity liberates. Find your particular verve of freedom and flow in the nature of structure, in the geometry, symmetry, and fractility of every form, and enjoy moving into a parallel universe where thought is less necessary and the art of no mind is primary. The practice is like a haiku, simple, judicious, uncomplicated, and always a sweet absolution from the chronic mental cramps that are so familiar. Let the breakthroughs you have from this session align you with a curriculum of soul that, is uniquely yours.

CHANGE IS OUR SPECIALITY

Utilize this choreography of Integrative Practices to notice the many dexterous nuances of your own aliveness, while getting into the space between stimulus and response. Actively engage in the endeavor of dissolution. Expose the myth of the ego, & open your eyes to sublime liminality. Introduce your mind to your heart, and feel the invitation into freedom, so your emanations can become evermore altruistic, and therefore useful. These practices create a safe space for the struggles we ceaselessly carry, they create a formality for forgiveness, and weave us back into what really matters most, so with each passing day, we trust ourselves more, in our relationship with ourself, with each other, and with the way we are spending our visit here on earth. Let every breath be a poem, for love is your oxygen, and freedom is your natural state of non-searching. Whatever can be describes is not who you are, so drop every worry, well wrapped in riddles, abandon your cleverness, and return to your natural affinities, 100 fold. Be the criss-cross of the Tao, simple, primal, sublime, sophisticated, and go on… ripening in the whirlwind.

ENERGY IS YOUR CURRENCY – QIGONG GATHERING

Develop your ability to take action, to uplift out of overwhelm, & to come home into a rarified field of qi. Cleanse fear out of the psycho-anatomy, release the pressure in the subconscious mind, get into the blood chemistry, and the circuitry of your pranic body. The pulse of our path is to learn, practice, & repeat. Attuning daily, communing with the multitudes, and uplinking primal truths & patterns of wisdom into the mandala of the mind. The only real elegance is in the mind, and once this is created, all else flows forth from there. Creativity Liberates.

BLUE PEARL QIGONG GATHERING

Engage the intelligence of interconnection, and plunge into deeper freedom. By moving and breathing, you give yourself back to yourself, and cultivate a biochemical capacity to process the overload of information that is coming your way every day. When you have a relationship with your intrinsic state of calm & ease, you can know sanity in times of chaos. Through an alphabet of exquisitely refined movements, you will introduce your mind to your heart, and come into a direct, sustained recognition of your essential nature. This is an embodiment process of tapping state changes that yield to trait changes. Within the container of practice, we continuously rehearse the journey, through conscious dissolution, sublime liminality, altruistic emanation, and devotion to the next right action. An IP session a day, keeps insanity at bay. Reach for the universe and it will reach back – and the very gesture of reaching is a resiliency booster.

ELEGANT LIFE FORMS – OPEN FORM QIGONG GATHERING

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.

HOLDING DOUBLE – RECEPTIVITY & RIGHT ACTION QIGONG GATHERING

Molt all of the non-necessary add-ons we unwittingly carry around. Enter your tiger body: articulate, & sinuous, with a character of virtue & calm courage. Relax into the spaciousness that is your body unburdened by thought, for when your mind is quiet, it is like a castle that needs no protection. Soak in your inherent fluidity: like water, which nourishes without even trying. As distractions blow away, we recognize our essential nature as truth, and the drive & desire to feed our focus elevates, thereby, stabilizing every inner system. Hold double: prowess & willingness, fluency & precision, receptivity & right action, and watch your ability to perceive the miraculous grow. Let your breath come as the wind, to awaken a fire, that makes you whole. Use the somatic talisman of this practice, to begin as many times as you need, again and again, and again. Take your stand in a field of grace, which is always here, in you, for you, as you. Feel the untroubled fabric, that cannot be removed, that wraps you in connection, in every moment. It is as it is, allow this, in your heart of silence.

COMPASSIONATE THUNDER – BREATHING INTO NEW NARRATIVES

We are at the starting line of a new year, a season for declarations verses resolutions, and a time for breathing into new narratives. In this gathering we feel through the fray of misunderstandings and distractions. We drop underneath the personal, into the space between; thoughts, each other, between breaths, & into the space that reinstates an innocence of embodiment, & that protects us from cynicism, so we can notice the life-force that’s alway supporting us. As life long lovers of learning, we clean the system regularly, so our self knowledge and the excellence of our human depth define the order of the day. Practice is the North Star, that lights a way inward, and a way outward toward bringing as much awareness, forgiveness, and participation, to a planet in crisis, like Pros, beyond excuses. We have all been sitting with grief, ours and that of others. When we have known misery and then come to know silence, we bring light to the world, like a moon free of clouds. Breath work can be a silken thread, or a compassionate clap of thunder, for getting into your panic superhighways, and into the radiant body, so you can consciously finess every good beginning, every vibrant sustain, and every meaningful completion. It’s an immune system booster, a stress reliever, an energy elevator, a digestive supporter, a self care activator, an anti-anxiety tool, and a restorative sleep aid… to name but a few of its magnificent capacities. Let the cloudy water settle and see what it is you are really choosing into, for the road ahead. Open to this new cycle, in the beauty of a single breath, at the intersection of here & nowhere, form & formlessness, as a monolith for change, in the willingness of the wind.

SERENITY IN MOTION – GESTURES THAT HEAL QIGONG GATHERING

Welcome to this year’s first (published) Qigong gathering. Use this somatic satsang to create the conditions for an upsurge of vitality in the heart, where life’s inconsistencies can straighten out. Part the curtain and soften every iteration of caughtupness. Emerge from indifference, as you simmer in your aliveness, to move beyond burden into intrinsic spaciousness. In this set we explore the power of gentleness by reducing the kind of force that we are accustomed to cutting and pasting into any exercise endeavor. This is poetry in motion, a fluid meditation that can draw us from dissociation and into dexterity where the miraculous lies, & where supra-fulfillment awaits. Reimagine the maps of your body, so the feelings of awe, compassion, reverence, wonder and gratitude can power up, within you. The song of the earth is coming up, through your feet, poising you to notice every opportunity to practice the smallest kindness.

INNER SPACES – ROOT SYSTEM PRACTICES FOR THE EMERGING SELF

This time of year is rich with blank slate energy. It is hyper-charged in a way that can lead us into limitlessness, and expand our mental freedom. We are preparing to transition into the year of the yang water tiger, a spectacular cycle for holding and molding visions, taking liberation aligned risks, & creating activations around your commitments. This is a time for inhabiting your skin and creating deeper grooves of meaning, purpose, & usefulness on the path. It is a time for telling the truth not only with our tongues, but in every gesture; in our bigness, our darkness, our tenderness, our excellence, in our exuberance, & in all the ways we are still half-baked, & growing in belief that the impossible can be possible, if we start tending the embers now! Be a student of what is moving through your body and your life, ride the winds of change with flexibility and grace, and set your eyes upon your own innovative blooming. Take your old mind to the graduate school of the universe, echo forward with all your inner goodness and visceral perception, letting the sound of joy be heard in your un-struck heart. Use this set to recycle restlessness into composure, & to couple endurance with determination, so to be a human who is in harmony with eternity.

Tune into the Magnum Opus of your life. The ultimate project of living full power, sensitized, receptive, generous, participatory. Get a glimpse of the grand panorama of your journey. Why you came here in the first place, what you are doing, why you are doing what you are doing, and how what you are doing is impacting the integrity of your core commitments. Use this practice to engage the timeline of right now, and to mobilize your 3-6-12-2-5 Vision. Be the ace of your own fire. Witness the sophistication of your attention, when you fast from gossip, complaint, comparison, and lack language. Each of these behaviors slam shut the iron door, separating us from our inside out power system, original medicine, and native genius. Mirror neurons are real. What you are thinking, doing, and putting out, into your family, into the workplace, into the scrolling & swiping community, the universal algorithms will return to you. Your emanation is defined by the sound codes continually found on your lips. In the journey of IP, it is less about resolutions (which so commonly fall into dissolution), and more about the solutions that are already alive within us, waiting for us to notice, and co-mingle, and co-create. We use radiance technologies to neutralize our own inertia, to multiply our stamina, and to generate growth in all three roots, of body, mind, and essence. It’s about getting out of our own way, closing the loops, opening the doors, retrieving the curriculum of soul, and turning up the energy efficiency dial, so to carry it all forward. Action orientation is the ultimate procrastination buster, and procrastination is the A#1 vision repressor. Stay engaged in the endeavor, every day. Ask yourself, what am I doing today to move the ball forward, and what am I doing today that’s deflating the ball itself? What you are seeking is seeking you. Practice is always a kick-starter for fulfillment impulses. Send every sensation through the feeling mechanism of the brain. Stay in conversation with your vital force, notice the pulse of your vision, moment to moment. An acorn is coded to become an oak tree, a rose seed is coded to become a rose, a caterpillar is coded to become a butterfly and you are coded to become you. Only we can do this for ourselves, and the process can be full of aliveness. Re-instate organic innocence, integrate, and luxuriate in the sensations bringing it all together. Each of us have an unsung song, that is under the old stories that block us. A song that wants to and needs to be experienced and expressed.

SINGLEPOINTED – PRACTICES TO PIQUE VITAL FORCE

The complexities and chaos of these times are calling for a new kind of responsiveness and leadership, new ways of thinking and being and doing. This is a time of social transformation like never before, and the stop gap solutions of earlier eras are no longer working. We are the developing humans who are eager to serve, and activate, and enhance our every skill and potential. We are seeking innovative solutions to troubling conditions, we are intrepid, life-long lovers of learning, ever hungry for insights, imaginative ideas and a deeper understanding of present-day issues. We are liberating and uplifting new levels of self-esteem and cooperation, so to carry out our goals, and to pulse the new vision. These times call for efficient measures, when it comes to elevating above the communal malaise. Our commitment is to attain and sustain better health, better clarity, and better focus so we can bring new mind to ferrying us all across the abyss that separates a dying era from a borning one. We are hospicing out the old ways, as practitioners, we are social artists, and our medium is the human community. We are each being called to bring our unique and meaningful contributions to the canvas of our collective reality, from a place of existential eros, with the same skill and passion that an artist brings to his or her work. It is the teaming up of inner realization with outer actualization, for there is something more than rational within our bone memory that recognizes the diagram of the atom within the map of the solar system, which is sequestered at the center of every tree, and that is informing the core of you and me. The stakes are high, every millisecond counts, and therefore, in our professional community, we want to bring that kind of vocational arousal, that creates relevant, resonant, and unshakable impact. If you are reading this, you are part of this circle, thank you for the good work you are manifesting. It is a great opportunity and a great responsibility to wake up, at any time, wherever, whenever, and to take the action steps to give the gift. Stay sensitized enough to see with 10,000 eyes, to see yourself in the eyes of every other. Be: unencumbered by the fever of identification, listening with the ear of the heart, and in touch enough to be touched by everything, for the long haul.

THE ART OF NUANCE – QIGONG GATHERING

The ability to adapt has never been more relevant than it is now. It has been said that the first birds were originally fish, who, following the chirp of instinct, flew from the waters that were no longer hospitable, and evolved with life. Every time you move, one of two things is happening, either you are deepening what is already routinized, structurally and psychologically, or your are potentiating the higher centers of the brain, to transform, transfigure, and transmute. Matching this age and stage of life is our responsibility as practitioners. In this gathering we build bone heat, floss the fascia, and cleanse the marrow, in a slow design that uncovers the movement inside of all movement. Link in with your somatic intelligences, and begin to identify all of the self-charging core gestures found at the foundation of your every functional movement. Give yourself the gift of flow, following the kind of dexterous nuances that are the building blocks of essential life.

SLOW ROADS – PRACTICES TO BRIDGE THE HEAD & HEART

Pull out of the fast lane, and take a turn onto the slow roads, opening to the gentle places that bridge the heart and head. In IP, we utilize movement to communicate with the brain, in the way it was built to be communicated with. In even a brief practice, the conditions are created, for make billions of spontaneous neurological connections. Explore nuanced variations, that initiate a revolution of elevating hormonal shifts. Even in subtly, elite upgrades occur in the lymphatic & nervous systems. The brain is a quantum information system, and when partnered with, it potentiates, giving one a leg up on evolving wisdom.

HOLLOW BONE – PRACTICE FOR FINDING THE EDGE OF NEUTRAL

Between stimulus and response, there is a nano-second, wherein the master’s touch can enter the room of your mind. It is an open space through which universal and fundamental truths come flooding through, so existence can play us more beautifully. On either side of the head are temple doors to access this caliber, and the key to the door is that which you adore. In this session we empower the oxytocin to flow, by measuring the breath, for what gets measured, gets managed. We elevate out of the quicksand of addiction, rising above the enemy that is the cocoon of gossipy thoughts, or self-sabotaging behavior. The technique inside this session is one of the best we have in the science, as it introduces variabilities that increase sensitivity, to wake and train the brain. It doesn’t matter how long you have been on the path of inquiry, there will always be shadows to integrate. This is good news, because real growth is always sprouting from the compost pile of our imperfections, rage, and every incongruency we wrestle with. The medicine we are mad thirsty for is found in the mature yoking of all opposites. There is space underneath our big tent, for everything you might be feeling, working with, or actively transforming.

SPECTRUM OF POSSIBILITY MEDITATION

Take a tour of your senses, as you fall asleep to the outer world and awaken to the inner world. Our muse in this meditation is the quantum bridge of the rainbow. We follow the resonance of each hue, while breathing into the brain, so to hear color, touch sound, smell ideas, & taste happiness. Nurture and harvest your life, so intelligence can count you in as its observer and activator. Give your consciousness an exuberant charge, in this imaginal, & full spectrum session.

QI – BOOSTER QIGONG GATHERING

Whenever we notice ourselves becoming anxious, it is a good sign that our qi has gotten dispersed. Similarly, when we begin feeling depressed, this is an indication that the qi has gotten heavy. In this qigong choreography, we investigate forms that will consolidate, lift, and energize the life-force, within the body. Explore what it means to use tension for releasing inner tension. Unleash the radiant force of rejuvenation, so you can do your thing with as much integrity and love as possible. When we are steady, unburdened, and resourced from within, work becomes pleasure, perseverance is success, simplicity is dignity, kindness is power, self-worth is character, and creativity becomes a wellspring for meaning & joy.

MATCHING CHAOS WITH RADIANCE – QIGONG GATHERING

What are the patterns that are currently put in place, what codes are running in the subconscious mind, what sort of intentions are alive, and are they creating internal tension, or are they aligned with the destiny, mission, velocity, vision, and legacy that got us here in the first place. In this choreography, we tap into the stateless state, wherein your own resonance becomes a curative answer, and the experience of the somatic practice becomes an undeniable dopamine re-set. Everything you have experienced, the gory, and the glory, has perfectly prepared you to match the chaos that continually comes, with proactive radiance. Take these few moments to re-stock the pond, so your anatomy is sufficiently charged with evolutionary energy. Bring all the fluctuations into an incorruptible stillness, that is always available, in the revolving still point of your being, and that is closer than the retina of the eye.

ARCHITECTS OF EVOLUTION – QIGONG GATHERING

Create space for integrative restoration with this qigong choreography. A somatic sanctuary for the un-shatterable essence, of the you within you. Arise, and arouse a revolutionary presence, a useful participation, rendering you as an architect of evolution, on this, our precious planet. Bring patience to every urgency, emerge through every emergency, and unleash the forces of spontaneous equilibrium, in this moving investigation. Both success and failure are largely the result of habit, and in this set we shape the direction we are headed, in pursuit of constant growth, strengthening our creative muscle and our ability to give, and give more, meaningfully.

SPACE AGE – STABILIZATION PRACTICES

We are each carrying the charge of restlessness, in this age of information overload & pathogenic pollutants. It can do wonders for the wellbeing to pull out of the fast lane, to turn down the dimmer switch of the mind, and savor a few moments of shapelessness. In a neutral stateless state, neither occupied or pre-occupied, the conditions arise for appropriate ambition. Take the force of the competitive mind, and apply it to your self-growth. Transition into your fundamental, un-restrainable nature, which is spacious awareness, conscious restfulness, and brilliant optimism. In this set we use tension to release the inner tensions that are created by having too many intentions. Unburden the you within you, and taste contentment’s vast array of flavors.

G – FORCE QIGONG GATHERING

Your frequency is one of the finest forms of insurance around. Your practice, is the unequivocal refinement that you can trust in, to keep your frequency vibrant, healthy, and minded toward mastery. These somatic solutions activate your generative friction and flow, to put you in touch with your emotion, beauty, and bravery. Untie the knots with tremendous devotion, pierce through every trauma, and ontological issue in your tissues, until you find the tenderness within it, and break through into super abundant wholeness. Energy is ethical, and when we ask the practice to reveal the path, it does. Sometimes the path can look like a big leap across the chasm of our own personal Grand Canyon, and with patience, perseverance, and a surging G-Force, every chasm can be conquered. Each of us has within us a personal Taj Mahal, a place for being content at heart. Let your own self-effulgence expand and grow, so you can recognize yourself as being a consistent Lighthouse in the Fog.

THIS MOMENT IS FOR YOU – PRACTICES FOR MINDING THE GAP

In our high level productivity community, we are very well acquainted with our To-Do List. Use this meditation to toggle into your To-Feel List. Being in touch with, & touched by our feeling portfolio, can positively inform how we build our future. Feel your body resting, for in a moment of rest we work better than when we work. Feel the rarified clarity that you emanate when you untether from interpretations, and simmer in your essential nature. It all starts with moving and mastering the mortal breath, which is our reliable vehicle for finding the space between, and the calm presence that is always present. Build resilience and refinement, one activating inhale at a time. Coast into the gap, the revelatory split second of breathlessness. How you do one thing is how you do everything, and everything is only potential, until we activate it. Let the power of possibility flower in your imagination and in the field of your own awakening.

THE POWER OF PROPULSION – ACTIVATING THE CHOICE POINT

Utilize this enriching gathering, to mingle in the fecundity of the moment. Tap into the rarified field of specialized self-understanding, that all meditative processes afford us. Gently up-level your nervous system’s equilibrium, and feel the biochemical surge of being a balanced well being. Cleanse your physio-anatomy and your psycho-magnetic field, in a way that evicts some of the old mold of fear, from the subconscious mind. Position yourself to emit a coherent signal, in terms of who you are being, what your are thinking, and all of the variant emotional requests, intentions, and manifestation you are putting out there. Our whole world is going through a massive frequency shift. Entrain your old frequency to link-in with your future frequency. Your joy is a frequency, Focus is a frequency, and Gratitude is good for your health. When you practice, you activate these categories of clarity in your consciousness, and power up your positive imagination. Let certainty, and all of its energetic comrades, be the fuel that propels you, optimally forward. A kind of sovereign & constructive steering, that will help you build a bridge to the juiciest parts of your life, that await you, on the adventure horizon. A bridge between the fickle fish and the eventual feast.

THE UNENCUMBERED SPOT – PRACTICES FOR GETTING STABLE ANYWHERE

Even when you may seem unrecognizable to yourself, or feel covered by the rubble of a tough time, there exists an unencumbered spot. Even when feeling tethered to the tender parts of transition or turmoil, this spot is there. To relate to this spot, even just briefly, can steer the entire committee of feelings toward resonance. We are each born with this spot. It is a place that is free of worry or ambition, it a kind of umbilical chord, that connects us to the universe, a place from where we can declare our living out loud yes, in commitment to the life we are living. Practice is a repetitive choosing into trusting this inner place. It is the edification and stabilization of a frequency that can bring clarity in the unknown. It is the consistent launching of psycho-somatic re-programming, that can make you sharp and expansive, in the moment at hand.

TELLING THE TRUTH WITH OUR BODIES – QIGONG GATHERING

It is a supremely servicefull thing to have a consistent relationship with practice. I welcome you to dive into this nourishing synergy of nerve flossing, fascia mobilization, and bone marrow breathing. Practice is about getting right with yourself, on a very regular basis. It is a dynamic telling of truth with the body, so we can move well, die wise, and work meaningfully along the way. Get comfortable at the crossroads, and feel at home in your edges, as you step into the maximum fullness of being your own talismanic figure.

LIFE IS PRACTICING ON US – Meditation for Clarity of Communication

The vibrations from our thoughts and words are telling everything what to do all the time. How we do one thing, is how we do everything, and how we declare our curiosities and commitments, governs how they get put into the grid, this is how we are programming our lives, both consciously and subconsciously. This is both an endogenous privilege, and the universe’s gift to humanity. Do we realize this, & are we harnessing it? The broad strokes and finest details of our lives begin to find their contours, in first rites of thought and habituation. Every communication is either vibrating trust in our ability to create or fear that we may not have what it takes to make it happen. The kinship framework of the meditative mind, gets the momentum of our thoughts and declarations, rolling out 16x in an optimizing, impactful direction. This is about training our minds, hearts, and psyches, so we can own and sculpt our presence, completely & holistically, and share it generously. What does it feel like when you are in a kinship framework, and what does it feel like when you are not? Life is practicing on us, and as practitioners, we want to challenge the challenge by roll modeling the potential that is encoded in every relay.

INSEPERABILITY – QIGONG GATHERING

Make sense of your body, make friends with your body, you do not ‘have’ a body, you are a body. It is the seat of your soul, where mind and world mingle, where biography and biology are one. It is the fertile ground of your entire history, both available and measurable, in the flesh. The way you orient your body in the environment matters. Our inseparability with the enormity and unity of everything, is a perennial, and undeniable truth. Our moment to moment maneuvering, of finding footing, when faced with shrinking or expanding, matters– it matters. When we can’t think our way through a challenge, it is our movement that ferries us across. Our lives are ordered by how we think and move. Use this adaptogenic practice to eradicate the issues from your tissues, to promote a bit of cellular regeneration, to irrigate the meridians, and the re-inhabit rite relationship in your body. Practice primes us, so more and more, we see less and less separation between our bodies and the bodies of others, between our bodies and bodies of water, and between our bodies and the entire body of our planet. When you consistently foster high impact interactions within the lived experience of your own ecosystem, it will facilitate lasting and conscious impact in natural and social landscapes. This, my friends, is worth choosing into… again and again, and again.

THE LABORATORY OF PRACTICE

Sometimes the best thing we can do for the big vision to manifest, isn’t to hustle faster or further, but rather to stop everything all together and find the unshakable fulfillment housed in the here and now & to learn ways of engaging our inner pharmacopeia. It goes without saying that stress and worry are the new norms for a massive swath of our population. Everything continues to change, and what used to be a go to solution for well-being, may no longer prove efficient, in our post 2020 world. We can’t go wobbling our way into the awakening. The world awaits us, and needs us to be internally resourced, mentally stable, and engaging of the day, in a way that leaves beauty in our wake. Use this practice to soothe your nervous system, hone your attitude, and adjust your energetic algorithms. Practice helps us break out of all kinds of limitations, and go deeper into what we really feel drawn to say yes to, and to the kind of “Yesses” that move life in sustainable ways. Practice bends, changes, and challenges our bodies, hearts, minds, and missions so we can learn, create, love, take action, plan, move and enjoy as many nuances along the way, as possible. So many people need so many kinds of help. Don’t wait until you’re exceedingly clear to deliver your gifts. Put the teachings in your body, give what you know you can give, write what you know you can write, say what you know you can say, do what you know you can do. Trust yourself, & let it be awesomely simply. Harness the infinity of infinity, and elevate your capacity to hold a frequency, in your vicinity, that is beneficial in reality.

WHOLENESS IS ALREADY HERE

Name, claim, and occupy your particular creation vibration. The signature equation that allows you to live today the best way you know how, and to do it in a way that maintains innocence, reduces stagnation, and re-fluidifies rigidity. Tap into a tongue lock and a brow balancing meditation that can help with flexible thinking, sensitivity, concentration, and taking pragmatic aim toward your future. Clear magnetic blocks, remove fear, unload the pain of perpetual memories, clean out the clutter of the mind, embody forgiveness, & take out the subconscious garbage, so to ride the wave of nature, in both potent & immeasurably subtle ways. Meditation is one of your greatest companions. With consistent practice, you will find yourself embracing life’s mysteries, and moving toward them, and with them. All of the emotional scar tissues we carry, are the mountain ranges on the map of our lives. Unfathomable and potentially beautiful simultaneously. The very topography of a life deeply lived. Taking time to tend your neutral mind, regularly, is what closes the gap, transfiguring us into islands of integrity, with the capacity to find meaning in the grist, and to potentiate a happy, healthy, & free iteration of self, sooner than later. The wholeness we so fervently search for, is a half a blink away. It is more near than the very retina of the eye.

THE CONSTANT ADVISOR & THE ORIGINAL GIFT

We are all free to live, love, let go, and leave at any time. What would the conditions be if you were to suddenly pass away? How did you show up; for yourself, for humanity, for the earth, for your purpose, in the crucible of relationship, & with the abyss of longing? Did you listen, did you ask good questions? One such question worth keeping close to the vest is: am I living in such a way, that today would be a good day to die? Death is the constant advisor, always offering instructions on the original gift, which is Presence, to be alive and awake while here, three-dimensionally so. Life is glorious and just as gritty, and it’s constantly leaving its mark on us. Let it leave its patina, we all have to gather the dark marks and stain, but in the doing so, we also discover the very meaningful meanders that offer us healing and enrichment. Rather than getting lost in our wounds, or even worse, getting lost in our own rage, we must get curious about how to waltz with our overwhelm, to extend a hospitality toward all the emotionally raw elements that try to tear us to pieces. The antidote to trauma is presence and celebration. To diverge from the moody companion of solitude, and to climb out of the abyss heartbreak, we have to sign ourselves up as liberation scientists, and artists of repair. There is work to be honored, and discovered, in the wholeing of every day. Be open to the dabbling, have a go of it, without fear of failure. Make eye contact with your truth. Meditation is an oasis in time. It’s a ticket to the other side of silence, to the silence inside of silence, and to the silence inside the roar. It’s a most amazing journey, with a most remarkable view. It starts by taking the light of your own awareness, mixed with alert relaxation, and building a fire with it, however minute or massive. We have to hold our own ambiguities for as long as is needed, until they open and emerge, and we can then walk them forward, as something else, as something more refined, and undeniably useful. We have to become skilled at opening up our own joys, and equally, we must become skilled at finding and utilizing the treasures that only the rupture can reveal. It’s this flavor of patience that allows us to join the conversation of service. Live today, with confidence, that if you were called away, it would be a good day to die. Lift your attitude up into the latitudes of unsurpassed passion. The kind of passion that illumines your entire mind, and furnish your life with as many kinds of this passion, so that you are filled to bursting. Follow the charge of your own impermanence, and see to the center of it.

UNSEEN REALITIES – QIGONG GATHERING

Life is practicing on us, and life is precious, and oh so very short, and sometimes, shockingly fragile. Time doesn’t come back once it’s passed. The frequency you are following and the direction you are headed in, on the daily, determine nearly everything. Make your time here worthwhile, beneficial, positive. Don’t hoard fear. Where there is more love, there is less fear. Love today – Love tomorrow. Be a force for good. Be kind to what and whom you don’t understand. Give yourself permission to feel. Transform the outer world by doing the inner work on your own heart. Bring a clarity of consciousness, radical reverence, and applied intelligence to every moment and endeavor. Have discipline & coherence enough to tease apart your resistance. Sow synergy with the abstract and the concrete. Generate joy in all three time zones; past, present, and future. Practice the clean business of catching and growing the blessings that populate in your life. Pay attention to everything. Bring care, concern, and gratefulness into all your spheres of influence and into every location of service. Commune with your potential through your body, breath, words, projects, mantras, & laughter. Give your best. Never stop creating.

QI-EO

Our world is infinitely complex in this time, so for this qigong gathering you will discover the performative routine to be decidedly uncomplicated, designed to help you unfurl, like an intangible meander, flowing toward unapologetic joy. Moments of natural equilibrium & somatic symbiosis, for waking closer to presence. A necessary art of coming alive, of dynamic reverence, within the ecosystem of the body. Lift the veil and yoke the paradox of effort and grace. You are the CEO of your own essence & outlook. You are able to unconditionally embody wisdom in action and human dignity in form, so to maintain an unsurpassed passion for the gift of being alive.

CRISIS KIT – PRACTICES TO DRAIN THE BRAIN

The secret of our future is hidden in our daily routine. Everything we do today is building our tomorrow. What is here is a manifestation of the things we have already done. Remind yourself every day of who you are committed to becoming. Both our resistance and our awareness are corrosives. Resistance eats away at the power and prana of the moment, and awareness eats away at the bondage codes that prevent us from living fully. Use the practices in this Crisis Kit, to drain the brain of self sabotaging habituations, and activate the dormant energy in your mind body system, so as to enjoy clarity, confidence, and certainty. We use these systems of practice to shift the neurons in the brain toward empowerment and healing, so we can hear what’s being said in life, without the filter of our wounds, thereby becoming less impulsive and more instinctual. We are each put here, on the planet, for a certain number of breaths. Are we going to waste our time here, being addicted, or angry, divisive, or overly melancholic? Or, will we alight upon the privilege of being alive and as Glennon Doyle says “Do the next Right Thing, Together,” as an intergenerational community, accompanying each other on this long walk to freedom. When we practice, we consistently choose into something, and it is the repetition of this choice that, we face off and transform the contradicting frequencies that are generated by the scariest parts of our shadow. Open up into an expanded perceptual playing field, and feel more full and free, in the giving of what you are here to give.

QUANTUM GPS – QIGONG GATHERING

There are 3 primary totem animals who stand up as our guides in this set: the dog, the turtle and the horse. Take this experience bone deep and finesse the transition from the thinking – doing mind, into the being mind. The aspect of mind that is capable of breaking through the spell of separation. The aspect of mind that knows it is a part of everything verses being apart from anything. The aspect of mind that is in a natural listening state, to the original, endogenous instructions, for a life of connection. Offer yourself a few lighthearted moment of dynamic practice, a few meaningful moments of no thought, like a dog in the waves, fully incarnated in his joy body, like a sea turtle following her instincts, as an awakening human, in direct rapport with a positioning system, no matter where you may find yourself.

WILLINGNESS TO FEEL – QIGONG GATHERING

One of the essential tenants of the practice, has to do with your engagement with emptiness. So often, so many of us are so concerned with the external world we forget that we are part of the ponderousness we call the void. We forget we have access to the frontal lobe, the part of the brain that allows us to create & cultivate change. Let your own willingness to feel, be a framework for finding a deeper freedom of being-ness, in the multitudes you contain. Feel into how you are being created by the very things you are compelled to create. Feel into the deepest level of sensations, that are in-fact, your quantum keys to catalyzing life-affirming changes in your body, life, and relationships. As light finds light, and feelings find meaning, let the somatic journey guide you to let out what is in, and to let your own expressiveness find you & fuel you, for the road ahead.

MOVE DIFFERENT TO BE THE DIFFERENCE – QIGONG GATHERING

If you want ‘different’ in your life, then you have to move different. The keys that have been jangling on your ring for this past while, will most likely not open the new doors that are beckoning to you. Every time you practice, you are sophisticating the ‘you’ that you bring to your daily routine. The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. When we practice, it is of-course, a somatic re-calibration, but it is also a space for engaging with some mental hygiene, for dissolving the barrier between conscious and unconscious, and for spelunking our vision, mission, and the very foundation of the commitments we are fertilizing on the daily.

ENERGETIC SELF-MASTERY – CONFIDENCE GENERATING PRACTICES

We can be sure that we have mastered a chapter of ‘soul-lessons’ in our life, when the situations or circumstances have not changed, but our responses have. Dial into this set, to identify, isolate, and dissect the current, primary limitation, that happens to be getting in the way, of you shining your revelation out into the world, at maximum fullness. Drop into a silent & contemplative moment, to think about what the current limitation is, that is keeping you in conversation with excuses? In this meditation we uncover the muse force, that is currently courting, alluring, inviting, instructing, and maybe even commanding us, as an expander, to enlarge the comfort zone, so we can be more in touch with our mojo, and more aligned with our maverick minds, and more responsive, in a restful & alert manner.

THE KIMONO IS OPEN – TRANSITION TECHNIQUES

We want to put our best foot forward, and be able to present the power of a fresh mind, as we work smart for this chapter in time. Part of ensuring that this is happening, is regular maintenance of the nervous system, and regular recycling of the transit lines that are showing up storying our faces and field of view. The face is like a google map, everything is there to be read by anyone who is really looking, the good the bad, and the ugly. In this meditation set, you will find some parasympathetic maneuvers that clean up the field, fast, so what you are radiating is clear, and on purpose, and charged. If you can’t sleep, if you are nervous, tired, unfocused, depressed, or chronically exhausted, these techniques will get you back into an elevated conversation with your radiance. Generate some creative friction with your complacencies, because confidence is found in taking action. We are becoming more sensitized citizens. We are developing a cleaner caliber of command over our senses, and are thereby, moving more mindfully and meticulously through the world. This work is about taking ourselves under our own wing, until we are flying. It is about choosing to stay clear when a situation or circumstance is attempting to rob us of our equanimity. It is about staying in witness, & refusing to indulge in the many differentiations that are constantly auditioning for our attention. It is about remembering how intrinsically powerful we are.

PRACTICES TO CLEAR THE MENTAL DESKTOP

In this meditation we use the nano-vibe breakthrough frequencies, of a mantra practice and an electrifying Mudra to clear the desktop of the mind, of compulsory thought-forms, that may haunt and taunt. This set will decongest the orbit of your psycho-magnetic field, that like your sinuses, or digestive track, is all too prone to becoming a bog of a quagmire. We can’t just use the mind to fix the mind, so we use these efficient IP systems to break through to the other side. Mantra recitation, which is like your personal phone number, that connects the creature of who you are, to the universe, works. It could be this breath that moves you into a different space, into the quantum field. It could be this next blink that renders you fully wakeful. Practice is the process of moving our limitations into the backseat, as the sovereign change-driver. Use this set to get clear and generate more energy, so you can be asking better questions, and be asking more out of life, and in turn, be giving more to the flow of becoming.

TO STAND STILL – SUMMER SOLSTICE PRACTICES TO WIDEN THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE HEART

Hello IP family! This is such a magnificent window we are in, just prior to the Summer Solstice transition. For centuries and centuries, practitioners have revered this time as being particularly auspicious for both dismantling and regenerating, so as to simmer deep into the power of the pause, and the self effulgence that will be your force and fuel for manifesting and radiating good, in the season to come. Tap into the living landscape of your body, the alchemy that is you, and a breathtaking stillness within, from which to witness, what all is here, and yet to come.

PRE-SUMMER QIGONG BLITZ

IN TANDEM WITH TRANSITION

Even in our foggiest moments, we are never disconnected, grace and ease, are always but one breath away. When we practice, it is like stepping into the greenhouse, and all of the seeds of our intentions acclimate to a nourishing frequency shift. Our comfort zone begins to expand, contentment, like mycelia, knits its network of connection and communication, and we remember ourselves as part of a greater whole. Let these gentle, neurogenic moments assist you in having a constitutional experience that is More than just Ok. Peer underneath the enormity of it all, into your superabundant nature, and feel the fullness of expressing all your contours, truths and variants.

THE NEUROCHEMISTRY OF VICTORY

Use the power of practice to codify patterns of life and beauty in the terrain and of your mind. Your breath, which is supremely intelligent, is full of indications for how to understand, define, and refine the way in which creativity is seeking form through you. Unleash your body, heart, & mind, while slowing down to honor challenge as a negotiating partner, in this season of history.

BREAK THE GRIP OF THE RIP – MEDITATION FOR MENTAL BALANCE

Inside this session we work with the Thunderbolt meditation, which is a great ally for breaking free from the grip of the riptide, whenever it may show up in life. This is a meditation for balancing the three gunas, which are the energetic qualities and attributes that create everything in the universe. This meditation, is particularly helpful for restoring mental balance, and dismantling phobias. In this season of emergence, as the world is opening back up, what is needed is a humanity who is natural with their own sense of Knowing. Use this session to anchor into that frequency, for yourself, and for every exchange you may make, with every living person, animal, or plant. Meditation is like strength training for the muscle of the mind, and the resulting clarity and sense of place, can be better than gold. To compassionately understand that there is a way through every block, is a stepping stone toward becoming wisdom in action, and toward living with certainty even in the face of uncertainty.

TENDER SELF SEARCHING – TRANSFORMATIONAL REST

The practice of learning how to rest while remaining aware can move you closer to fulfillment, wellbeing, radiant health, and the kind of inner silence that cures all, as the old Vedic texts say. This practice of falling asleep to the outer world and awakening to the inner, can clear much of the noise we carry around with us at all times, so we can, thereby, be in touch with the ponderousness of the void, and the miraculous sweetness that surrounds us at all times. Great transformations need a beginning, let these moments of stillness, and tender self searching create a safe space for slowing down and noticing what is wishing to find its start within you. To slow down is not synonymous with being unproductive, in-fact, we are more productive when we are intentional and not just fast. Enjoy finding a deeper freedom of being ness, in the multitudes you contain.

CLEAN ENERGY – QIGONG GATHERING

The timelines are shifting. We are meant to thrive beyond our stories, and the first step to moving beyond a hum drum or a status quo, is to change the story. Your somatic practice is the perfect place to feel through the energies that are realized & ready to move on. Breakthrough stories are far more likely to become realities when we harness the frequency in our body. Stand up inside of a confidence, competence, and clarity that arises as the brain and body re-wire and fire in harmony. When our minds are stretched by new ideas or sensations, they rarely shrink back to their former dimension. Enjoy this session, as you move toward what brings you joy.

LIBERATION STRATEGIES – FOR BURNING BRIGHTLY

One of the most efficient liberation strategies you can align with, in this time is Japa, the repetition of mantra, & the penetration into thought forms and sound currents that elevate what they cultivate. Japa builds heat, which is called Tapas, a transformational inner fire that burns away densities and impasses, so your relationship to inner knowledge, will & action grows stronger. Anything that may be puzzling or parlaying you, in head, hand, or heart, throw it onto the fire. Whatever you add to to it will make it burn brighter, and like a good bonfire in the wind, we too blaze brighter with the encouragement of its push and pull. In this session, we work with a palindromic mantra that will open the tributaries of creative flow, which can be applied to any sphere of excellence in your life. Use this meditation to unhook from any learned helplessness that may be lurking in the the substratum of the mind. Trust your highest compass, center your nervous system, and keep your gates.

THE YOU WITHIN YOU

The breath is the road into the autonomic system, it is the bridge between the conscious and the unconscious, and it is the invitation into exquisite intimacy with the moment. Tap into this practice, so to open up to an energy that will lead you into pure presence. Breath work rewires our nervous system, & supercharges our sensitivity, as is stops the momentous race, so we can restfully receive in a way that builds brain and heart coherence. Till the fertile ground of your being, and let the you within you bloom.

ORGANIC INNOCENCE – QIGONG GATHERING

Inside this Qigong Gathering, we explore some of the time honored forms for softening into wholeness. Use this session to mingle with the organic innocence that is available on the other side of time, anxiety, stress, overload, or burnout. Practice is a refinement process, that engenders curiosity, and accentuates our ability to hold whatever may be puzzling or paralyzing, and grow because of it. These are 40 fluid moments meant to polish your original means for communication, which is Body Language. These forms will nourish your spine, open your inner eye, and activate every filament in your physical body. This set will leave you feeling like a fresh start specialist, like the tendrils of spring, connected to a kind of calm that brings sanity and stability.

FUTURE MEMORY – PRACTICES FOR HOLDING THE VISON

Certainly, at the sunset of the journey, each of us will want to be able to report that we were useful, that we fulfilled our purpose, and were therefore, fulfilled. Regular maintenance of the nervous system is a non-negotiable, in ensuring that what we are doing today will be serving a good tomorrow. Dynamic meditation brings physical force and the current of sound together, in a form of self care that will help you de-magnetize sabatoging thought forms, and stay on task with your legacy. Be a living representation, & a lucid reminder of what is possible, and let this practice generate a massive ascension of your qi, as you step even more fully into the truth of who you are, and your capacity to live on pointe, while holding the vision.

CURIOSITY – THE SPACE BETWEEN

When we are in a state of curiosity, the brain releases dopamine, one of the major neurotransmitters related to the anticipation of a reward. Given the pervasive malaise that so much of our world had been experiencing, it seems that a small commitment to staying curious, or even simply staying a bit more conscious about the power of curiosity, can be a good & hearty step towards balancing the brain. Tune into this guided relaxation and gong meditation to soften the strong hold of FEAR, the: Fantasized Experiences Appearing Real, that derail the essence of discovery. This Brain Refresher will help you slow down, to remember who you are, to return home to yourself, to preserve some life-force, & to feel into the silent mover, at the core of all things, at the center of the web that connects everything to everything. Witness how your restful, open mind is so deeply capable of cultivating the inner conditions that are conducive for curiosity. Let every part of who you are be part of the cure: body, mind, spirit, intention, energy, aura, action, attitude, integrity.

FROM EQUINOX TO EQUINOX – PRACTICES FOR HOLDING UP THE WISDOM

Embrace the multi-facetedness, of yourself, your family, community, & all of the situations & circumstances, that is life in this cycle. Use this gentle practice to work with your field, to get all the powerful blood flowing, and charged with determination, discipline, and devotion. Let go of all the ways we have become obsessed with death and dying, and feel into how we are holding hands in the quantum field. Amp up the frequency that you are vibrating, & create a container capable of holding growth. Nurture free will, generate action, and hold up the wisdom. Do it for truth, Do it for life, Do it for your legacy, Do it for the world.

RIVERS OF HARMONY – QIGONG FOR LONGEVITY

Feel yourself flowing in harmony with the river of wellbeing, going where you will, without pretense, ready to arrive anywhere, full, curious, innocent, straightforward, and simple. Buckminster Fuller said, “Do more and more with less and less, until eventually you are doing everything with nothing.” This is a remarkable directive for us, as practitioners, to forever be willing to let go of I & me & mine, as we unfold into time and relate unto eternity. In this historic bifurcation, be a whole being, beginning and beginning, and beginning again, embodying the potential of evolution and transformation. This is a slow and deep qigong gathering, that will have you dancing with your ‘Awareness Body ‘ and feeling into the power of Inside – Out living.

INITIATION OVER INFORMATION

We are moving with the cycles, we are the cycles, in perpetual transition, unstitching, bursting, knowing, unknowing, we are growing. Life is requesting our fluidity, flexibility, plasticity, and agility, in this unfathomable gap of mysterious design. Calling & coaxing, life is courting us to threshold after threshold, to say yes again and again into the darkest of dark that always precedes the light… of a new epoch. Returning, in this meaningful moment, and the next meaningful manifestation, into what is remembered in the bones, into what matters in the stretch of time and space, now and forthcoming, & into what keeps us wild, wise, and well, and deeply awake. What we really want is self-initiation not more information. What we need is direct dialogue with what soothes our particular brand of neurosis, so when life gets in the way, we know the whole of our life, to be the practice, that can potentiate more balance. When it seems like there is no time, we know how to relate to time, so to create time. When things change inside of us, things change around us. Tap into these practices to release the kind of energy that is ideal for building a foundation of rigor, confidence, illumination, vitality… and of course, gratitude.

BEATITUDES – PRACTICE FOR BUSTING THROUGH DENATURED STATES

Bring in the beatitudes of grace, devotion, balance & inspiration. Synthesize with the intersection of destiny, necessity, mission & passion. Step into a new playing field where alchemy, velocity, vision & legacy are the fuel for the way forward. Every time you practice you create an integrative space, and integrative processes always move you in the direction of progressive growth. The beauty of practice is that it never needs external validation of any kind to be potent and useful. It is a kind of time release that opens up all your genius and regenerative capacities, so you can have a more brilliant, & fearless experience of what you came here to do with your life. Bust through the denatured states that you are through with, become the new archetype that is asking to come through you, and hold the wisdom high, through and through.

HARNESS THE POWER OF CHOICE

Where we are today is the effect of the many choices we have made in our past. Choice is vital, it is shaping our fate, and will either pull us onto our destiny path, or anchor us into familiar grooves. Dive into this practice, and your own eternal capacity to Do, Know, Steer, Build, and Enjoy. We use the 5 shaktis as accelerators for connecting with the pure and unsullied genius that is alive within the sensory system. The closer you can get to it, the more you become like it. Buff and polish your resolve, and become an attractor for more of what you want to have living inside of you. Harness the power of your mind, and discover how the auspicious act of your choosing the infinite, represents the infinite choosing you.

TRANSIT FROM HEAD TO HEART – PRACTICES FOR A THRIVING INNER ECOSYSTEM

We are emerging into a new & golden era, wherein truth, equity, compassion, generosity & forgiveness, are the collective, primary points of emphasis. We are unveiling a whole new set of frequencies as we ride the elevator from head to heart, and from 3D to 5D. We are learning how to experience ourselves as part of a unified field, and to trust that life is loving us, like a mother loves her child. There are wild, sensitive signs showing up all over the place, pointing to the bright line of regeneration. Use this session to engage in some radical self-reflection, & to remember that you are fluent in the language of light, that is coursing through the back roads and superhighways of your body.

FULL POWER YES

What would happen if you toggled all of your triggers to off, and turned your magic on, full power? What would happen if you stopped believing every thought in your head? What would happen if you started having a meaningful relationship with your Muse? What would happen if you tended your aloneness well & from within, devotedly? What would happen if you remembered that you were a bunch of cells floating in space on a tiny blue dot in the solar system? What would happen if you trusted that you were protected by love? What would happen if you let yourself be the blessing beyond borders? What would happen? Tune in here, to the center of your center to the heart inside your heart. To the place that is wise, wild, and well, not easily broken or caged. Rather– driven by conscious desire, waltzing through the wreckage, and making meaning from the mire. Free to fall, Free to fly. Awake & ok with being messed up, and magnificent at the same time. Chasing storms and nurturing the world, because you can. YES, You Can !!!

CULTIVATING COLOR IN THE GREY PERIOD

Information overload, unrelenting stress, constant change, the gravity of uncertainty, and the bigger, faster, more mentality of the modern age, are all contributing to what is possibly the biggest challenge of this time: Cold Depression. Cold Depression is slippery and elusive and something all its own, and therefore different from acute and chronic iterations. Nearly everyone out there is in the numbing grasp of the cold depression, to some degree or another, because of the nature of reality. A person experiencing cold depression doesn’t necessarily seem depressed, or even recognize oneself to be depressed. It is not a personal challenge, it is a wildly inclusive phenomenon, that is touching a massive swath of the world’s population, and it is occurring because we are in an era of epochal transition. Tune into this session for some methods that will thaw you out, get your enthusiasm molecules vibrating, and pull your glandular and nervous system out of the depleted dimensions. Even simply showing up, is a means of calling in a new level of mastery, radiance, & mad hopefulness. When we gear up together, we accelerate and exponentiate the shifts in frequency that can move us in the direction of progression.

LIKE SPRING BLOSSOMS – MANTRA MEDITATION

We can no longer power through the intensity of the times, relying solely on the strength of our bodies, alone. We need to cultivate the power of our frequency, so we are sourcing from our prana rather than from adrenaline. This session will gently restore your nervous and glandular system. It will break the silence of the soul, and build up your radiant body. We work with a Mudra for remedying burnout and a mantra for turning pain into peace, the pairing of these practices are a quick solution for bringing on balance. We spend a majority of our life inside our minds, so we might as well make it a beautiful place.

AGNI – FOR A LIFE OF VITALITY

We are 100% responsible for who we are and how we are in our perception of every situation. One of the best ways to stay out of the stories and raw emotions and to center up in the power and potency of witness, is to do the kind of work that keeps your inner fire, your Agni, burning bright. You are the one presiding over the vitality and radiance in the whole experience of your life. You are a renewable resource! Say yes to life, say yes to victory — yes to eliminating stagnant energy, and to feeling your cellular body open up to the vastness of the inner and outer web of existence.

METAMORPHOSIS – QIGONG FROLICS FOR A BUOYANT HEART

Be a student of the flow– a student of what is being realized through you, & taught through you. Where there is free flow there is no pain, where the is no free flow there is pain. Stagnation in the body is the foundation of pathology. Utilize this joyful choreography of qigong frolics to clean through any accumulated stuckness, sameness, illness or otherness. Floss your nerves, develop your muscle of attention, and embody a sinuous metamorphosis that will leave you feeling buoyant, bright, and clear.

INVOKING WHOLENESS – BREATHWORK FOR INNER ILLUMINATION

Breathwork is some of the best medicine available, and this set will most certainly hack through the agenda of the subconscious mind, to bring your illumined, loving intelligence out of lockdown. Tune in, to feel the integrated state of full, balanced, oneness, and an embodied happiness that is intrinsic, immense, and timeless.

REGENERATIVE REBOOT – HEARTPATH PRACTICES

There is a whole-knowing, radiant absorption, that is invoked when we are steeped in the heart. Inside this breath-driven meditation, you will fuel and serve the synergy of your lower glandular system, the wheel of your center, and the higher octaves of your brain, to create a continuity in the availability of your consciousness. Empty out anything that is sticky and unresolved, penetrate through resistance, & access the sublime pockets, of your awareness. Give yourself a boost, & feel into everything that allows you to shift. These practices work, when we work them. They will meet you, exactly where you are, and will take you, as far as you want to go.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT: Think with your whole body, move with your whole mind.

MOJO MAKEOVER – QIGONG FOR ACCELERATED TRANSFORMATION

Your experience of flow is found at the intersection of your comfort zone and your edge. In this Qigong gathering we open up the physiology, to empty the cup, and work at the level of the inner blueprint. We steer out of the stories, and into the sensations, creating pathways for energy to come out of hiding and express itself. These fluid forms will align you with the power and potency of your qi. They will lift up the light of your inner fire, fortifying your frequency as well as your immunity, while moving and soothing you in a million ways. Give your mojo a makeover, and wake up the affluent emotions of untethered joy.

MANTRA MEDITATION FOR SENSITIZING THE HEART

You will discover two meditations in this session, that will help you take off the adult armor, and soften into the sweetness, of pure being. This sweetness is what we call Amrita, and it is found when we let go of all the efforting & access effortlessness, trust, and greater surrender, in the mundane moments & in every great turning. These are deeply generative practices that weave mantra, mudra, & creative movement, to bring up the light of a clear and clarified mind. In a time when so much feels out of control, we can challenge ourselves to control the way we respond to what is happening. Excavate the inner beauty, circulate it through your system, and upgrade your frequency, for this is how we can find so much exquisite power, to intersect with the signs of life, to untie the lifejacket, and experience the fathomless depths of the living heart. Practice… to embody sensitivity, as a witness, and to then deliver it, to the world, as a committed participant.

THE BLUE FLOWER – PRACTICES FOR SELF LOVE

Inside this session we dip into some IP classics that are exquisite for escaping the cage of self-doubt and diving into self-love. Even the simple act of acknowledging doubt, is an action step that can grant us vitality in the paradox, and position us, with a spirit of play, to be hyper resilient. Uncover your natural happiness, that is your original, foundation of fullness. A happiness that needn’t be ‘practiced’ rather, it is discovered, when we untether from the ego, & surrender into the poetic aura of the heart– free of performance, mask, or struggle. Now is the time to awaken our love that is lying dormant. Our love for life, for one another, for ourselves, for this magnificent planet, & for the path of reclamation, healing, and growth. Now is the time to soften into sovereignty, to step aside from duplicity, to be at home in being, and to take the last half step, into the mystery beyond the mind. When you feel like you simply haven’t the time to be a practitioner, make the whole of your life your practice, be a self-charging battery, knowing a heart-centric, freedom and focus, on every in-breath, that is lifting you up toward the most powerful, authentic version of yourself.

MAGNUM OPUS – GONG + BREATHWORK

It’s been over a month since I’ve published one of our gong meditations, & I’m thrilled your here, to take the ride, as I feel you will find it to be a real vehicle. We start with some power center breath techniques that will shift your attention from me to we, & from head to heart. Breathing that will soothe the nervous system, and align you with your innate, spontaneous unfoldment, & with your intrinsic happiness, that need not be practiced, but rather discovered. Utilize this session to cultivate presence and an internal alchemy for shifting from personhood into the vastness of consciousness, & to experience of the beauty of being completely and absolutely open to the moment. Witness your perpetual wisdom, exceeding words, nameless, timeless, & regeneratively available as a great expansive elaboration on inner emptiness.

UNSUBSCRIBE FROM FEAR – QIGONG FOR YOUR LIVING EDGE

Inside this practice you will find a prescriptive choreography of forms for loving our way through fear. Fear is a massive force, and we have all experienced how it can freeze frame us, in an instant. We were not put here, on this planet to live in fear, and the good news is, movement is the enemy of fear, it takes us into the living edge and allows us to transform, transfigure, and transmute the static energies that disturb us. These dynamic, integral meditations will catalyze an involution, evolution, and revolution, in your nervous system, blood, organs, bio-chemistry, and emotions. Nothing changes if nothing changes, & things can’t move in your life, if your life energy isn’t moving, so dive into the place where your comfort zone ends, and challenge any complacency you may be experiencing. Remember, no risk, no magic… I promise you, this flow will pull your joy up to the surface. You will find yourself encouraged to play, & to breath in symbiosis with the world, while strengthening your muscle of coming back, and coming back, and coming back again, a patient approach to the path of practice. It is through our consistency and repetition that we develop a relationship to the practice, & to know how to pace ourselves, and how to rest, so that we don’t quit. Through this consistency, mastery grows, homeostasis blossoms, and infinite creativity surges. Tap into the antidotal forms of monkey, deer, bear, and leopard… a remarkable synergy for self reflection, self correction, & exquisite restoration. JOIN THE MOVEMENT: cultivate your inner alchemy & magnetize the power of your heart.

A CUP OF TEA – PRACTICES FOR OPENING THE HEART

I’m so happy you’ve made your way to this message, welcome!! I invite you in for a mid-winter session, to hear the story about tea time with the old zen master, and why it’s so important to engage in practices that empty our cup. This month we are tending to the heart, and the unlimited creativity, coherence, & clarity that arises when excesses and negativity are expelled. Zenergize, through this replenishing choreography of meditations. Feel into the relational field, as the earth begins to express her first indications of spring, even if her songs are still deep within. Discover the same kind of insatiable desires to move, regenerate, & renew, in your own human terrain. Even just a few meditative moments will imprint the whole order of your day, for each moment is an exquisite recalibration, and a de-activation of the trauma body. Moments for releasing some of the suppressed or unresolved energy that is so rampant in our somatic realities at the moment. The work of Integrative Practices is designed to allure your body, mind, and spirit into homeostasis… balancing your energy field, cooling your mind if its chaotic, & getting you out of survival mode. It will elevate your cognitive function, and hone your capacity to Self Regulate, which is a golden key, to be used not only when you are stressed out, but as a tool for everyday joyful living. Come, put your heart against the earth with me, and let the light that made our universe, enter your sinew.

STEWARDS OF CONTINUITY – PRACTICES FOR SELF TRUST

One of the many many contributions that Aristotle made to humanity, was the idea of the Entelechy, which is an incredible allurement, when we let it be so. The Entelechy is the version of you that is fully ripened, formed, & characterized by a wisdom that reaches back to the dawn of time. If you had been buffing and polishing yourself, for 1000 years, just imagine how reliable & grounded you would be. In this way, you would most likely be the wise sage you would turn to, in any situation requiring reflection. You would be the one to trust, for you would have been well shapened, adjusted, & attuned, by the great journey of time. Just imagine the quality and consistency of your self knowledge, after so many years of working the template of selfhood. Just imagine your understanding of patience, your welcoming of silence, your ease with joy, your ability to feel the deepest grooves in the human experience. Just imagine your profound connection to the whole of nature and the rhythmic cyclicality of beingness. Even just simply turning your attention toward this, as a possibility, can get you feeling connected to something bigger, something higher, something wiser, and something that is within you, fully, now. In this practice we soothe the nervous system, and melt into the embodied elegance of the entelechy. These are practices for taking that leap of faith, into an expanded perceptual reality, into the elongation & extension of your breath’s capacity, & into the activation of your aspirations. Go into the inside of your inside, into the movements that stir your depths, feeling for the shoots that call you into expression as a steward of continuity. Find your signature pleasure, & your primal creative voice. See beyond the particular ways life has trained you… and welcome in another way, that is not so other, and that involves no othering. Find your myth, and the story your consciousness really wishes to tell, every time you think or speak. 

STAY COURAGEOUS, STAY SOFT, STAY HUMAN. 

WE ARE ALREADY THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

FEEDING THE WINDHORSE – PRACTICES FOR INNER VASTNESS

For the past many years, on this long walk to freedom, I have kept the tandem concepts of Windhorse and Drip, in the pocket over my heart. These are ideas that have emerged from the rich history and culture of the Tibetan people, and when abided by, will lead the practitioner toward an experience of uncluttered liberation. The Drip represents all the ways in which we are stagnating or loosing energy. Drip shows up in all the messes that needs attention, as an absence of accountability, as the pile of procrastination, as the apology that hasn’t been expressed yet, as the secret stash of addiction food. The drips keep us from being vibrant, alive, and here now, in the magnificence of fullness. Each of us have some kind of drip, and we must attend to the drips in order to get into the Windhorse energy. This is the front-facing, embodied state of strength, inspiration, & ability to run– free of obstacles, aligned with future responsibilities, & in synchronicity with the goals & visions that are calling. There are boundless ways to nurture the windhorse state, imbuing ourselves with wellbeing, and fueling a prosperous attitude. Every time we take time to practice, we feed the windhorse, we raise the energy of freedom, we expand, & we break the shell of habituation. Use the practices inside this session, to cultivate an elevated relational dynamic with inner and outer vastness, like the wide open tundra, like a mind as big as the sky, & in a powerful landscape for your windhorse to be in its elemental flow.

RESILIENCY – FOR GIVING LIFE TO LIFE

This month we have been spotlighting upon focus, efficiency, & resiliency, as some of our primary muse points. Whether through the work of the breath, internal gazing, a qigong flow, sound current, or integrative thinking, it’s all geared toward getting us set to mobilize… to do what we say, and to say what we do, and to have enough energy reserved that we are resilient. Resiliency in, our context, is the experience of having a longer fuse, it is the quality of being anti-fragile, so when life rubs up against us, we are less inclined to protect, defend, and wither at the post, and more robust with taking the action steps, and rising to the occasion of the moment. In the mantra practice found inside, we set up the inner conditions for soothing & slowing down, and for toggling from the sympathetic nervous system into parasympathetic dominance, in a deep and heart-felt manner.

THE UNCOMMON BRANCH – PRACTICES FOR CULTIVATING THE OBSERVER

Each of us have two birds within, the first of which is the busy little bird, building the nest of life. It is the taking care of good business bird, the generator bird, the mobilizing, manifesting, get it done bird, busy with the world of ten thousand things. The second bird, our uncommon bird, is the observer bird. How easy it is, though, to be so driven, at one hundred miles and hours, into the pinnacle of every point of purpose, that we forget it to even be there. In this practice, we fly up to the uncommon branch, where the second bird is perched, taking in the slow & complete design of existence, from an elevated angle. To observe is to witness the reality of what is, not what we think should be, or what we wish would be, but what is, as it is. Observation doesn’t include thinking, it doesn’t involve comparison, it is free from judgement, it requires no additional information, and had no desire to eliminate anything either. So, in that way, we can rest & digest, even if for only a moment, as the observer, in a kind of unborn awareness, with timeless wide eyes to see.

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.”

– Marcel Proust

FLYING IN FORMATION – MEDITATIONS FOR INCANDESCENT TRAILBLAZERS

Whether we are in a building together, working virtually in the same city, working across state lines, or across continents, we are a collective– which is where the individual and the whole intersect. Like geese flying in formation, we are woven together with an invisible thread, connected to every other, and drawn powerfully forward. Geese fly 75% faster and further when in formation, working the journey together. We are the transition team, the flight pattens are underway, and the aliveness that each of us brings, matters– as we overcome, heal, and sew new pathways in the story of our future. May this story be one of transpersonal sentience, of supreme thoughtfulness, ensouled sensibilities, and radical empathy. May we re-imagine the whole as we deconstruct the rampant symptoms of isolation, and find fresh angles for holding our fragility and growing our aspirations. May we listen to the oracle of our own hearts and feelings. Following the GPS of a loving awareness, that informs us as richly human, incandescent trailblazers.

LIFEGUARD PRACTICES – FOR CAPACITATING CAPTAINCY

This is a beautiful set of gentle practices designed to remind you that you are a renewable resource, that you can capacitate captaincy, and that you can raise the energy of freedom, from within. These are Wei Qi Practices, which have to do with the energetic flow that guards your life-force, and your life at large. This is most certainly a time for ramping up that frequency. When we feel sufficiently resourced, inwardly, and can identify our axis, then when life pulls us off center, which it will do, consistently so– we find we have the skills to drop back into our nucleus– faster, and more effectively. When you have this kind of self esteem, self command, and self exhalation, you can more consistently hold the attitude that everything can be re-programed, from your metabolism, to your skin, to clarity, productivity, & joy. Everything is moving, and you are the captain. Even if the current program that is running inside you, was written in a less than optimal way, it can be re-configured. This year has held countless transitions for each of us, and each transition has left a kind of transit line or pattern in our perceptions, on our faces, & in our beliefs about what is possible, or what lies ahead. The clarity that practice grants you, will always be your helpmate, so life’s transitions won’t haunt you, rather, you become the creative carrier of transitions, holding them as formative lines in your destiny design. Enjoy this conscious injection of Focus: for piercing through subconscious, collective, and epigenetic programs around your health, prosperity, and fulfillment.

FEED THE METER – MEDITATIONS FOR MENTAL EFFICIENCY

The big F word we are throwing around in this session is: FOCUS. Tune in for these efficiency practices that are designed to help you get out of the fog, stay out of the fog. Shine the light on your psychological fitness and energetic hygiene, through this accessible mandala of micro-practices, & feed the meter of the brain, so it can be your sentinel. To be a regular practitioner of this kind of work is to arm yourself with some of the best techniques for repair, protection, acceleration, & transformation. The fruit of this work is self knowledge, and deep self knowledge is one of the most powerful self-help tools around. Focalizing practices get you set to do what you say, and say what you do, & to have enough energy to follow-through with what it is you know will grow your life, and lift up your destiny. Develop a fusion, in your complex and intricate internal ecosystem, and adjust your magnetism so what you are emitting is of benefit to one and all. Let this fusion power you up, physically, & alchemically, and let it re-spirit your inspiration to stay clear. We are living and working in the Information Age, which is designed to keep us distracted. Your attention is the currency of this age. let these few minutes pull your attention inward, out of the scrolling, out of the device, out of the hyper agenda, out of the news, and into your life, and the exquisite reality of what is happen within, capacitating your captaincy, so you can steer with sovereignty. We know that 21 days is the minimum threshold, in neuroplasticity, and so when you find yourself resonating with a particular practice, give it your all for 21 days, do the thing for 7 minutes a day, ( or more if you can!!! ) for 21 days, and see how it clears you out and cleans you up, and cultivates a refinement of skill. May you experience a quiet confirmation of your heart’s sublime perfection. May you get a glimpse of a fog-less, focused, deeply wakeful state of mind. May you experience shapelessness within the shape of your body, formlessness, within the form of your being, timelessness, within this time of practicing together. During this time of year, when the setting of intentions and resolutions is pervasive, let us remember the good clean advice of Benjamin Franklin, when he said: ” Be at war with your vices. Be at peace with your neighbors, and let every year find you a better human.”

BAMBOO SPINE

For the first qigong gathering in this new year, our muse point is FLOW, which is key ingredient in attaining and sustaining health and optimism, physically & mentally. These practices will cultivate a vibrational fitness that will turn on the lights of your mitochondrial integrity, & mainline vitality and life-force all the way down to your smallest baseline. Be a student of flow and lift your frequency into transparency. Lauch, Repair, Rejuvenate, & Accelerate, as you Floss through the fascia, chainlink the qi, and connect everything within you, to everything. This fluid form of movement poises us perfectly to free fall into the present moment, in the same way that we fall asleep, or fall in love, we can free fall into the flow. All of life is about frequency. It governs how you catch and apply the opportunities and revelations that show up in your life. If there is any presence of resistance in the body or in the mind, it will effect your frequency, & reduce the way in which flow can inform your life. The good news is, that as our bodies mature, through the aging process, and as our essence ripens through practice, we rarely become more rigid, almost always we get softer, and thereby more powerful, because of our competency in navigating the flow. Many of the subconscious, collective, and epigenetic patterns that keep us feeling stuck begin to dissolve, as we flow and grow. When we offer our bones to the flow, we get to the original genius underneath the mantel of distractions, we can take refuge in our authenticity, & we can re-create ourselves, at all kinds of levels, that feel relevant and right. There are some stellar one liners, extracted from centuries old Chinese medical teachings, that illustrate the necessity for this flow. Lines like: “The reason the teeth are falling out, but the tongue is not falling out, is due to lack of movement and movement.” The teeth, which don’t move, are prone to decay and loss, however, the tongue, which is our primary muscle of communication, is always moving, and therefore, doesn’t decay and fall out. Another old pointer goes: ” You will never find a worm in the hinge of a door, but still water cultivates poison.” Both of these teaching simply put, are telling us, that if our aim is longevity and vitality, we must stay dynamic. Where there is an absence of flow, there is a greater likelihood for pain, where there is flow, there is less likelihood for pain. Use this flow to oxygenate and focalize the pre-frontal cortex of your brain, the part of your brain that gives you agency, and rehabilitates negative impulses. Flow is a state of simultaneity, wherein you feel comfortable enough to be in the rest and digest part of your nervous system, activated enough to clear the waste, and challenged enough to experience the transformation. Be patient, like the bamboo. When a bamboo plant is put into the earth, it can look at great length, like nothing is happening, so much so, that it might look like the plant is stunted– until one day, when the conditions that have been cultivated, are just so, the bamboo will begin a quick ascent upward in its growth. and the same thing happens with us. Much like the bamboo plant, when we practice with committed repetition, at a certain point the magic begins to arise, and we find an internal fusion that helps us live strong, live long, and love life, abundantly. The Upanishads say that the butter is hidden in the milk, likewise, awareness resides in every being, and to discover that, we need to constantly churn the mind toward clarity.

GRAND CONJUNCTION NIDRA MEDITATION

Dear Friends, this is a remarkable time to tune in around listening and breath. Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice, the most Yin day of our entire year. It is a rich time to grow still, to let yourself become one with the night, and to turn toward the light. Tomorrow is also a truly historic day, regarding what is happening in the panorama of our sky, as Jupiter and Saturn will appear 0.1 degree apart, which is the closest they have been observed, by the naked eye, since the year 1226. If ever there was a year when we needed such an incandescent affirmation, on the horizon, certainly this year is it. May you take some extra time, during this time, as our wheel is turning, as oscillations of awakening allure us to the threshold, to dream with our earth and our cosmos, and to honor the power of connection, on the path of evolution. A few quiet moments for making meaning of this year’s echos. Grab a blanket, lay back, open your heart, listen, & feel. Let your own attention create an orbit of refreshment, in this guided meditation. Let your heart relax into a belonging, into the great mystery of being, in a state of consciousness that is neither waking, sleeping, or dreaming. A state wherein tissue repair becomes more readily available, wherein anxiety can recede, and the sound of creation can be heard within your own sentience and serenity. Use these 30 minutes to sync up with your inner rhythms, and the relationship you have with your own wholeness.

I look so forward to diving deep, come the start of January, as we continue the journey together. Until then, celebrate safely, and know how much you are loved! The ending of this video is uncharacteristic, as my dog began fervently barking. Thank you for understanding why I suddenly slip away, without my traditional goodbyes, I thought I would spare you the jolt to the nervous system, after a guided meditation. 

SEE YOU SOON, AT THE LIGHTHOUSE!

MIGRATORY FORMS FOR SOULFUL REFINEMENT

This is the last qigong gathering for the year of 2020! We had an amazing time checking out this choreography of migratory forms, designed to ready you, for a strong, steady, and brilliant transition into the new year. There is an old Chinese proverb that says, If I place a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come. Use this practice to re-green your heart, & to express an inner hospitality that is of benefit for all. 

JOIN OUR MOVEMENT: in pursuit of unconditional embodiment, self-realization, and compassion in action.

AXIS MUNDI MEDITATION

This is a gentle session designed to cut through any caught-upness that may be standing in the way of your feeling fully steeped in loving kindness, gratitude, & connection. Follow the muse of this meditation, into the axis Mundi of your spine, connecting to the unity beneath the enormity of it all. Subtle movements and meanderings of breath, wandering gracefully and graciously, through the rivulets of the body, & the warp & weft of your energy field, delivering the message of wonder and awe. Where there is more wonder there is less fear. Fear is our wonder in retrograde, and when we practice, we coach our concerns away from fear, and toward possibility, imagination, regeneration, and love in action. We set up structures, within our actions and attitudes, for engaging time and space, and timelessness too, for our ideas, creativity, prosperity, and purpose to find their runway, and take flight. We are each stewards of our own inner transformation, custodians of the inner world we carry around at all times, and in my views, we have a human responsibility to tend to this journey, in earnest. Let your breath become a hymn to the world, and let your heart open to the family bloodline of our entire earth, as you articulate the power of your own axis. Turn your eyes toward the out of the way places, where beauty and sensitivity reside, so to better honor and acknowledge all of earth’s children, and the reality of what is.

BREAKTHROUGH PRACTICES – RECONFIGURING BYPASSES & BIASES

Inside of this session, we move through a set of practices designed to break through the facade of our bypasses & biases. These practices create a burning intensity in the biology, & in the way chi is configuring within, so that habituations, mental loops, and all the various traps & catch-cries we linger in, (for longer than is appropriate) can be identified and transformed, effectively. There are countless ways we try to knowingly and unknowingly mask our deficiencies and insecurities, or to circumvent responsibility. Or, what about all the ways we allow external predictions to guide an outcome, while we are numb on some level, scared to be magnetic, or hesitant to keep our hands on the ball. The list is lengthy, and we unpack just a few of these bypasses that may be biasing your journey of growth. Ours is a time of urgency, and we must use every drop of awakening and agency to respond– accordingly, to the call. We need to ask ourselves all the important questions, and to do all we can to get strong, empowered, and illumined enough to rise to the occasion, of a new narrative emerging. We must set love into motion, & to be robust meaning makers. Utilize the good medicine of this work to get free from within yourself. Free from both the grip of despair and the craving for hope. Now is the time to be alive in a self, who is equanimous, resolute, centered, stable & committed to compassion in action, come what may. Breakthrough work is about mastering your non-attachment, so to be in all of your actions, and not of them.

JOIN OUR MOVEMENT: befriend the process of soulful refinement.

CLEAR STATE – BREATH WORK FOR A PLANETARY RITE OF PASSAGE

We are moving through a planetary rite of passage, of titanic proportion. The darkness has emerged from its hiding place. It has stepped into visibility,and is directly challenging us. It is even seducing us, to contract our minds into overwhelm, pessimism, shock & despair. This, however, is a form of colluding with the darkness, of letting it fuel the perennial virus of fear, and a deep sickness that humanity has been wrestling with for a long, long time. It is what Carl Jung called the ‘sickness of dissociation.’ An era of dissociation is also an era, pregnant with the possibility for re-birth, reconciliation, and re-construction. This is an hour that calls for a kind of optimism that turns us into way showing, meaning makers, capable of shocking the shadow back into balance. We are in the season of dreamtime, which invites us, and even insists, that we mine our shadow archives, that we identify of bypasses, and that we open our eyes, and unflinchingly look at what is asking to be faced, fixed, and changed. We must rise to the occasion, and go all the way to the root, rather than simply rearranging the deck chairs. We each carry within us, an un-dreamed of luminous creative agency, that we previously did not know to be available. Engage this breath work to align yourself with the wisdom born of eldership, awakened awareness, and deep self-inquiry. May we conspire to co-inspire one another, as we step into who we are, as much as we are able. May we connect with our inner authority, our inner voices, & our authentic selves, so to help humanity heal the ruptures. Pursue your realization intensely in this time. Fill your life with inspiration and beauty, train your inner eye to notice the indication of new grass, and the burgeoning of re-birth becoming evident, even in the most unlikely of places.

DREAMTIME QIGONG – WITH HEALING SOUNDS

Travel beyond linear space, into Dreamtime, into the mysterious quiet of Eons, that is in you. Access the oldest and newest places within the terrain of your body, and feel into a profound peace, that counts time in billions of years. This is the Dynamic Medicine of Absoluteness. In the Qigong Gathering we work with an alphabet of gestures and healing sounds that will transmit rejuvenation, harmony, and energy, all the way in and through, while opening the circuitry of your human bio-electricity— a moving morphogenic experience, not to be missed.

EAT THAT FROG

Last week I heard a Mark twain quote that says ” Eat a live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day.” I thought it to be brimming with humor, and relevance regarding our relationship to practice. If we can develop the discipline, strength, and courage to eat that frog ( TO DO OUR PRACTICE 🙂 ) first thing in the morning, then we are far more equipped to face, fix, heal, or celebrate whatever the day may bring. We have a responsibility to drop our camouflage– to take the vitality, charisma, and clarity of vision, that our practice gives us, and to live openly, brightly, and forthrightly. We are in an era of extinction, and we must participate, actively, in the regeneration, renovation, and reconstruction, of a new way, a new human, and a new world. We have to hold the torch high, and find the prism of belonging, of this time. May this choreography of dynamic meditations leave you lit from within, as it sensitizes the kaleidoscope of your outlook. May it steady you, and fortify your determination, grace, and readiness to conquer any inner doubts or insecurities.

JOIN OUR MOVEMENT: for the timelines are splitting – let your body become all eyes – awake in our world.

EVERYDAY COURAGE

This week we have been taking a big experiential lean into the Courageous Heart, into what Brene Brown calls ordinary courage, which is different from the modern-day definition of courage, as being a heroic quality, rather, going into an everyday kind of courage that allows us the show up in the field of life, in all the ambiguities and blessings that are showing themselves, and to Be Present. There are countless causes in our world today, that lead us into mind attacks, those moments and experiences when we feel overtaken by a sudden tsunami of anger, overwhelm, fear, or a feeling of being numb and our of touch with the beauty and mystery of being alive. Practice is a context, within which liberty and relief are found from those moments that steal us away from the gift of now. Practice show us the heart of this moment, that we can only experience once. Inside this session, we work with a sustenance practice, including the Mandala Mudra and the Be Present Breath, as a way of getting inside ourselves, and entering the current of courage in our hearts. Entrance into the human heart isn’t alway the peaceful sound of silence we are entrained to believe it will be. Often the sound of entering the heart is excruciatingly loud, a massive roaring of diversified emotions and experiences, but also to be heard, is the sound of the Presence of Love, right there within us. Carve our a few moments to take in this attunement. There is an old saying that goes– if you have time to meditate, meditate for 10 minutes, if you don’t have time to meditate, meditate for an hour. Courage is a heart word, the latin root Cor, means to speak one’s mind by telling the whole truth of the heart. May this energetic, physical, and emotionally aligning practice tune the instrument of your heart, so you can tease apart, and discern between, the fears that keep you from living, and the fears that keep you alive. JOIN OUR MOVEMENT: of returning to real-time happiness, bravery, and creativity.

EMPTY FORCE – MERIDIAN QIGONG

In our present-day, western culture, we are very much accustomed to Brute Force. In the work of IP, we endeavor to understand and apply the ancient taoist approach of Empty Force, which is the polarity or Brute Force, for it has the potential to be an antidote for many modern maladies. Rarely in our waking hours do we come in contact with, or have an experience of emptiness. Many of us fear that if we place value on emptiness, we will become lazy or our work will loose its value. The truth is, if emptiness is one of our values, our work increases in value, everything we are responsible for and attending to, can be done more efficiently, joyfully, and with greater focus. The moments we spend in emptiness give us back hours of tranquility. Your somatic practice is one inroad toward awakening, and as far as I’m concerned, your awakening is the greatest gift you can give to humanity, this year, in this season of giving. Tune into this qigong gathering, to develop your relationship with emptiness, and the courage found in an open heart. Rinse out and bless open all of the super highways & backroads of your meridians, and feel the presence of loving-awareness within you.

SMALL THINGS NICELY DONE

We need ‘be present’ practices more than ever before. With all of the rocking and wave making that is going on, we need to get our sea legs on land, and stay stable in our anatomy, so to show up in a way that is sturdy. In this session we acknowledge the directive of Elizabeth Gilbert, when she said one of the most effective ways to stay productive, joyful, and to not go insane during a pandemic… is to do small things nicely. We are getting committed, as a community of practice, to braiding our souls to what it is that keeps us feeling on purpose, full of life, and inspired. The smallest unit of energy that we work with, in Integrative Practices, is Prana, Qi, Life-force, & Breath. When we do breath work, we become blue-print technicians, capable of creating fertile ground for whispering in change. Tune in for some restorative techniques, that revolve life energy up and down your spine, & throughout the tree of life that is your brain & nervous system. These practices will patiently and potently harmonize all the systems of your body, and both hemispheres of your brain.

ENVIRONMENTAL CURATION

In this session we spotlight on the art of finding fulfillment, contentment, and incorruptible joy, through presence and the power of focus. These being based practices will sensitize your intuition, your conversation within the unlimited field, and the caliber of your neutrality. We are all working with some degree of constant, partial, attention deficit disorder, due to all of the many moving parts, tugging on the hairs of our attention & awareness. These equanimity practices will soothe any feelings of agitation, overwhelm, or extrapolation, in your cascade of being. Tap into these 30 minutes to be an environmental curator, to comb through, clear out, and rearrange the 60,000 thoughts that steer us daily, and to harvest a simple Invigoration Equation to apply in your life, between now and the Winter Solstice, for staying charged. When we get spread too thin we begin identifying with our stress responses, & when we take a few meditative moments to create space, the biology of peace begins to spread and we can find the buried treasures that are within, and only discoverable when being present. Court your most conducive, inmost conditions, by aligning your body & breath with your internal force. Our presence only works as long as we are present in the moment, and being present is one of the greatest gifts we can give, in every human exchange, during this special season.

SNAKE QIGONG

Inside this gathering, we tend to one of the most needed and potent spotlights for this season: Presence. These ‘be present’ practices will help us to stay unconditionally embodied, as we move with the collective inevitables, and the transmutable destiny of humanity. We are each working with some iteration of partial attention deficit disorder, due to the way our world is currently working. Even a very few short moments of tuning into your qigong state of mind, can eliminate the distractions and pull you into the center of your center. Give yourself the gift of arriving in the address of your body, free from any depressive tendencies from the past, free from any anxiety about the future, and fully here, present — in the meaning, momentum, & majesty of a moment that can only be inhabited once.

CLIMB INTO THE CHRYSALIS

Tune into the frequency of your mind, which is like a radio station, that you are emitting & projecting. It is an art of noticing, to observe kindly, from a place of beauty, honesty & bravery, the reality of what is within. As practitioners we want to have a lot of wherewithal, fluidity, and literacy with the intricacies of our frequency, of naming it, and having the tools for changing it, when wanted or needed. Our individual frequencies cannot be found anywhere else, and our entire life has been preparing us to host this unique vibe. The universe is picking up and responding to what your frequency is, so if your vibrating fear & shame and guilt, your going to attract more of this, & if you are vibrating joy and love and abundance, you are going to attract more of that. These Exhilerants will help you in projecting a current of clarity, on the ordinary. Climb into the chrysalis of these practices to activate the metamorphic, alchemical reversal, that gives us the eyes to see opportunity in the crux of the crisis, because beauty can often be found in the dark places. Just when the caterpillar thought its world was coming to and end, it discovered itself to be a magnificent butterfly.

HORMONAL MIXOLOGY

During this time of me giving you home practices, it is my hope for you, that you are becoming a truly empowered self healer, by grounding deep into your embodiment, emotions, & the undivided purity of your heart. This class buttons up the cascade of sessions focused on Immunity, in all of its particularities, so we can keep our wits and wellness in tact, & upgrade the egoic operating system so it is more heart-centric, pranafied, & galvanized. This is a soft session that will playfully tease apart any patterns that may be handicapping your dignity codes, or tethering you to a “torn to pieces” mindset. Check out these forms that will help you with boundary keeping & truth telling: with the Qi, in the Qi, as the Qi. The meditations houses in this session will catalyze a climate shift in the estuaries of your head, heart, hands, & hara, poising you in the center of your own poetry, eminently & transcendently, as your breath gives voice to the tender parts of you that need love, & completing the connection between the created world & the creating world. Use your own sensitivity to unhook & button up any ruptures, because the world needs all of us to be bridges. What it is thats going on in our world right now represents the subconscious coming into consciousness, and so there is a tremendous opportunity for revolutionary evolution, therefore, there has never been a more important time to practice.

TOTEM OF THE BODY

Here is a soothing qigong flow that will consolidate your body into the earth’s grounding. Feel the ground meeting you, as a friend would meet you. Feel the air around you, meeting you as a friend would, in a way that helps you meet the moment in truth. Our bodies are often so exhausted, due to all the articulation and consternation, of being human beings, who are doing so very much. Qigong is the virtuosity of loving awareness, pervading & permeating every living cell in your body. It is the middle ground between activity and passivity, and one of the most effective ways I know to regenerate hopefulness, to steel up the spine, to fly the kite of the mind, in an open sky, and to be at home with who we each came here to be.

GALVANIZING QI

Meditative tech for harnessing the role of your lymphatic system, regarding internal alchemy, and immune integrity. Your lymphatic system plays a massive role in your immune system, and these simply, yet powerful forms will catalyze the cleaning of your lymph, which is your internal body of water. These are circumvent force practices, which fortify what’s called the radiant shield, and when it is working with you and for you, you can actually conserve, concentrate, & consolidate your Qi, rather than use it to protect or defend in the face of illness or in the fire stream of a divided world, which means more energy is available for your constructive, creative endeavors. The galvanizing gift of this kind of work, is that we get to get clear about how our habits are steering the ship, and activate amendments when and where it may be needed. These integrative practices will powers up your dignity codes, all the way down to the bottom bone, cell deep, beyond what is perceived as being beyond, so your default set, has you delighting in life, more regularly, fully, and sustainably.

ADOPT THE PACE OF NATURE

Check out what it means for you to get flesh to flesh, eye to eye, and into a pinky swear kind of relationship with the power of your innate immunity. Work with the inner alchemy of patience, inviting the breath to become big & the mind to quieten & expand. We are beginning to emerge from a freeze frame cycle of fear, which has caused a lot of breath holding, of breathing just enough to get by. In Integrative Practices we are interested in toggling out of the freeze frame and moving as thriving. Steer your pulse toward out and out loving awareness, so your responses are resourced from inner equipoise. Our job as practitioners is to consistently, and unconditionally occupy that stance, as our buttons get pushed in life. These meditations will help you get the gallop of your heart, both systolic and diastolic rhythms into harmonic concert. Use these techniques to stimulate your sympathetic nervous & the right hemisphere of your brain, to cultivate balancing adjustments, capable of fortifying the backbone of your immune system.

ENDOGENOUS IMMUNITY

Within this practice, we explore forms for letting go of the adult armor, & all of the defenses, so to feel the full cascade of human arising. Align with the endogenous immunity that is generated from within, for the within, with an undefended heart. Tune into all the ways that you can merge with the meaning and the medicine of the moment, accessing & directing the life force that is filling & surrounding you. The repetitive practice of qigong forms gets us closer, by and by, to the totemic inner disposition of our integrated wholeness, they work on us at the level of depth psychology & at the level of pragmatic anatomy — there is deep medicine in both realms, as the experience is breathed through every pore. Explore your will and surrender, and the roles they play in keeping your wits and wellness in-tact. Generate an attitude of intimacy with your practice, a kind of psychological nudity, that lets you fall in love with your inner most happening, & who you become when you are inside of it. These moments are about direction, not speed, which in an of itself, is so restorative. Let this practice help you to move through the contours of your life and soul, with moral, emotional, mental, & structural fortification, regardless of any of the resistance you may meet, because — You are the Bridge.

TATTVA BALANCING MEDITATION

Inside this gathering we spotlight upon the parts of our psyche and our soma that have experienced trauma or have been carrying the tenderness of the ages. Trauma is the greatest challenge we are working with, as individuals and in our collective constitution. Unlock your neutrality with these gentle but effective dynamic techniques. They will help you get into the underbelly of your subconscious, transformatively so. In the work of awakening we must activate our potential, we also need to follow our bliss, but we also have to do the trauma work, of taking hands with where we are tender, & honoring our blisters, even when it seems like there is 1008 better ways to spend out time, it has got to happen, period. While in the panorama of practice, we can heal all the way down to the bottom bone, so the old pain patterns that used to run the show, run out of fuel, giving us a perceptual, emotional, & biochemical shift that lets us choose peace more regularly, freely, and from a place of conscious effortlessness. Every time you meditate, you become a kind of blue print technician, or an inner alchemist, committed to the chore of reducing the reasons for being numbed out, so that big leap across the chasm can transpire, and you can discover yourself to indeed be a light house in the fog. Energy is ethical, all you have to do is ask, and it will show up, because practice and energy are alway entwined. With repetition, through practice, we can possess a peace that is inviolable, & incorruptible, & that is inhaling through us, no matter what the external circumstance may be. These meditations will clear the clutter & incessant mental chatter, they will balance the tattvas, which are the elements of your being, so you can be less defined by duplicity, and more aligned with resiliency.

ROBUST DIGNITY – GUIDED RELAXATION & GONG MEDITATION

During this especially potent time of practicing in the heart of a pandemic, it is so necessary to turn toward what is unchanging and stable within, so to cultivate the inner resources that can successfully steer us through this sick cycle. So many of us are experiencing exhaustion, from articulation & consternation, enjoy this guided relaxation and gong meditation, to consolidate the day, in the body, and to consolidate the body into the earth, so to then intimately participate in the world from a place of inner quietude, and robust dignity.

SOFTENING INTO WHOLENESS

Your personal home practice is a magnificently potent terrain for working through the wounds that have amassed from life’s journey, and reconfiguring how their imprints are stored in the tissues of your body. Inside this session we create a safe environment for helping, holding, and warming our most tender places, with a technique for sustained transformation, in this very realm. Everyone out there walking around has some kind of ‘master wound’ that was almost always picked up during a childhood experience and has been hitching a ride on the underbelly of the subconscious mind. If we don’t face, and love open these childhood traumas, our ‘master wounds’ then we run the risk of them become crazy makers, potentially causing a crass, cold, indifference in our outlook, in some way or another. Use the sound current to be an architect of your own self-mastery. When I use the term self-mastery, I’m not inferring that we are aiming to become flawless and perfect at everything. In the context of this work, when I say self mastery, I’m alway pointing to the inner disposition of staying teachable, because there is a revelation of some sort, in every living moment. When the tender places soften back into wholeness, then our addictive, self-soothing behaviors, such as over caffeinating, incessant social media scrolling, etc. (which are unconscious ways of seeking that “I”M OK” feeling) loose their magnetic attraction, and the energy that way going in that direction can be steered constructively. Inside of every living human is a seat that is undisturbed, a sanctuary that has never been dismissed, violated, abandoned, or judged, a place that is always whole. It has been my experience, in my own somatic & sonic research projects, that when we are willing to walk humbly in the direction of this unconditional, inner seat, it is alway waiting there for us, wanting to welcome us in warmly. It’s there, inside of you.

MANTRA MEDITATION METHODS

Inside this session I share some classical methods for using the sound science of mantra, medicinally. Tune in and discover some approaches to further infuse yourself, and expand your portfolio of ways to work with the power of sound, and intentional word, in your home practice. When we work with mantra, a rhythmic, hypnotic cadence penetrates us cell deep, delivering the resonance of rest & focus. Putting a mantra on internal loop, is like running a program on the mind that removes all the viruses that have gotten in from external sources, so you are more sovereign as yourself, & more exuberantly available to life. Recitation practice can help you reduce any resistance you might be carrying, and cultivate an elevated relationship with joy. Name, claim, and curate your signature pleasures, and let the muse force out to play with you in the field, because embodying joy is a form of healing.

REGENESIS

Take a few moment to tune into the parts of your being, your psyche & soma, that may be feeling tender in this time, from the journey of life, or the experience of trauma in our collective constitution, or… some confluence of the two. The forms in this set are designed to steer the energy of worry toward the strength of your innate warriorship. When we honor the wound, by helping and holding our human fragility, and the opportunity for transformation, that it points to, the wound can drop back, and yield to a blossom, a blessing, & a becoming. As practitioners we are architects of a revolutionary loving awareness. Loving Awareness: it is a field of neurogenic presence, wherein, a process of re-storying & regenesis, can arise from the underbelly, reviving your reasons for saying Yes in the face of challenge. Our discomfort, is a master teacher, when we can use our emotions, feelings, beauty, & bravery to sit with it, in full honesty, for as long as it takes, to feel the gift. Shake off the numb, warm up the parts of you that have become indifferent, and slip into the space between stimulus and response. The power place where your choice, growth, and freedom lie, is closer than you think, and has never left you, as Pema Chodron points our, ” We are one blink of an eye away from being fully awake.”

START ANYWHERE

With the way our current world is rolling out, having a robust relationship with one’s Creative Habit, can be an inspired way of staying at the ready, as we ride this tsunami of change. Interact with these power practices, and have an honest look at your energetic profit and loss sheets. How are you generating life-force? What’s in your windmill of worries? What grudges you are nurturing, that are hijacking your equipoise? Are you in energetic debt? Is a life-force deficiency stopping you from engaging with the creative riffs and raptures that make you feel fully alive? How can you compassionately tend to the leaks in the boat, become balanced, resourced from within, and available, when the generative muse summons. Every time you practice, it is a big opportunity, it is a kind of permission slip, for pitching power back into your life, so you can effectively re-invigorate when necessary. Enjoy this daily dose of self inquiry, for honoring what got us here, noticing what’s calling us from a future horizon, and holding space for the new elaborations that are asking to grow within us, and to simultaneously grow us. In the lavish terrain of your imaginings, open your cellular memory to the embodied experience of maximum fullness, NOW!

CHECK YOUR SETTINGS

Mother Earth and all her children, which is all of us, have been experiencing a tremendous amount of irregularities and arrhythmias, during this disruptive year. This can cause us to, very easily, get shored up, and locked into some of the wrong settings, and potentially causing perceptual amnesia, distopia, disconnection, and even all manner of depression. Sometimes all it takes is a few intentional moments to move the needle, & notice all the ways we are already in rapport with ourselves, with our people, with our planet, with the universe, and with life-force. Meditation is a hyperlink that connects you to the heart of whatever you are inquiring into, it is an energy of Intersectionality, that empowers us to elevate the attributes we wish to see more of in our lives, to rest in the stillness of awareness, and experience more happiness. The ancient & elemental healing sounds used in this meditation will help you to check your internal settings. They are sound currents that honor the multitudes we contain… as they subtly get behind the scene, to integrate, align, activate, & harmonize every thought feeling, emotion, & desire so maximum functionality can find its flow.

RE-AFFIRMING INSTINCTS

Housed deep within you, yet 100% available to you, is an inviolable, foundational essence, that will not erode with time or through circumstance, a seat that can never be shattered. Interact with with these living forms, that have emerged from the archives of historic practice, and have been shaped by the needs of our post-modern circumstances, to awaken your somatic instrumentation and a superabundant flow of life force, so you can participate in the massive evolution that is currently underway, fully. Use your body to soothe your body… to ultimately heal the body. Untie the knots with tremendous devotion, & re-affirm your instincts, through these themes of cultivation and care. Steer your sympathetic nervous system toward the original autonomy that is your birth rite. Be your own talismanic figure. Engage in the activist moves of claiming your embodiment, sensibility, authenticity, thinking, and eternity. Honor the path, which is your unique path: of self mastery. Begin & become your own trustworthy guide, and know yourself to be the immense vessel of ideation, spontaneity, & re-genisis that you in-fact are, boundlessly.

LIVING ARTICULATION

These 30 minutes are an opportunity to break beyond the borders and boundaries of how you have been relating to your body and to Qi. Use this practice to occupy, finesse, & befriend, the mytho-poetical, archetypal energies that are necessary for reclaiming balance & cultivating the power of wonderment, so that every movement is getting you closer to your own live/thrive equation, and the parts of you that are indomitably connected to life. We must use our minds and bodies equally, so to somatically solve some of the major ontological issues we are facing, as a post modern species. This means acquainting ourselves with what it means to think with the whole body and move with the whole mind. A Qi based practice is a perfect terrain for embracing life’s challenges, physical, emotional, & energetic, as negotiating partners, that can lead us to the doors of the wild world within, and to the road of self mastery. In my views, it is profound way of taking account for your entire life, for ensouling your body, with the living articulation of the meaning, movement and the medicine of moment to moment, embodied awareness. The forms inside this session are both classical repertoire & innovate, open form. In this way, there is a full honoring of the inherited insights, the yin and the yang qualities, as well as the emerging resonance that transcends the limitations of the old ways, bringing articulate relevance to the living now, so YOU can live in maximum fullness.

INNER SEED BANK

This meditation occurred on the Harvest Moon, which is a time that brings tons of momentum, and is therefore, a perfect time to settle into the saddle of practice. Buried deep within the mountains of Norway is the world’s seed bank, which contains contributions from nearly every country on the planet. This reserve is being responsibly stored in case of global calamity. We as a species have been experiencing calamity consciousness, to an unprecedented degree, due to the cascade of situations & circumstances we are all very aware of : COVID, politics, massive social ecosystem overhaul, climate change, and the impact that is having on our neurology, psychology, and hopefulness. There is a pointing somewhere though, in the mess of it all, a message for each of us. As we contemplate this world bank of seeds, over 800,000 specimens, coded with the potential to repopulate the planet with growth and biodiversity, we as awakening practitioners, can do a similar inner work, tending to our individual seed banks, housed in our inner most happenings… how have we reaped the harvest, what have we stored back, deep within the space that allows us to respond with grace, and to seed the gap, for the dream-time of winter, come what may. As a guide I have been a longstanding believer that our breakdowns are a kind of date with destiny, for there is where our greatest breakthroughs can emerge. When we honor our challenges as our negotiating partners, we can mine for deeper meaning, this in and of itself, it a kind of micro-practice that opens the apertures of our perceptions. Use the moon as your design guide. The circle has no beginning, no end, no me, no you, no hierarchy, it is a continuity, it is common unity, it is community. Receive your guidance from all the realms, from any hoop that feels purposeful for you. In many of the languages of the 1st Nations, here in North America, there were no words for imagination, it was believed that what occurs in the 3D world & what arises in the dream world, are of equal relevance, and hold the same power. So from that angle, let your axis and orbit be nourished through this sound science bija recitation meditation, & let it bring you home to the intersectionality of all the diversity that is informing your good life.

SOMATIC SOLUTIONS

Inside this Qigong gathering we explore forms for finessing flow in all the variant transitions of this time. These forms can serve you pragmatically, and poetically, creating homeostasis in the rapid intercommunication of the body’s systems, harmony in the parasympathetic system, hormonal balance, and at the same time, this practice can deeply connect you with the unique brand of archetypal energy that activates you as an individual, and the passion that you bring to life. Tap in to unveil somatic solutions found, through inviting in Qi, & reducing the causes of resistance. Through practice, we learn how the organic revelations of flow, energy, and lifeforce, assist us in generating, organizing, and delivering our excellence, as embodied leaders, in our spheres of influence… and to really know it ‘by heart.’ Rumi said “Move the way love makes you move, not the way fear makes you move,” as far as I’m concerned, we could spend the rest of our lives checking out what that means, at the level of honesty. Science tells us that every cell in our body, is participating in our mental life, and contributing to our intellectual convictions, so clearly, we want to have all cells on deck, so we can think with our whole body, and move with our whole mind. Knock on the doors of life, using your own hands as healing hands, palpating the tissues and sub-layers of the body, to release toxins, & bring light into the core, so we can move in the direction of the womb of winter, brighter, less dense, & ultimately less worried about its effect on our biology & psychology. Energy makes movement possible, movement makes life possible. When we look at the seemingly lifeless objects around us, at the level of the subatomic, we discover that it is condensed moving energy, so we can conclude that life-force is providing the building blocks for the energy of the universe. Savor these few moments, devoted to stewarding continuity, through a resonant, poetical qigong, that honors the continuity of inherited insights & traditions, and stewards the the emerging, new elaborations that meet the needs of our post modern, ontological issues, through the journey of practice.

THE WORLD OF THE WILD WITHIN

As we saddle up and prepare for the involution of dream time, that is winter, here in the northern hemisphere, we need to be in direct connection with the doors that allow us to feel connected to the kind of wild moments that re-invoke, reconcile, and re-integrate our relations with nature. The breath & bhanda work inside this session will help you to tap into the solidarity, depth, & fecundity of your roots, at a physical, substantive level, and at the same time it will help you identify the roots of your illusions, so to build a greater sense of place with your eternal & human nature. When the roots are strong there is no need to fear the wind. The breath is nourishment, that will feed and fortify you at a subatomic level, and amp up the bandwidth of your energy field. Any moment spent tending the fire of the breath is a moment well spent. The breath is the unconscious wish that is always pulsing itself inside the red hermitage of your heart, and in the mandala of the mind. Enjoy these few moments of resting in undifferentiated unity consciousness, inside a silence that strengthens. Silence is not something you need to produce, it is always there as a most loyal & constant companion, and one of the most sophisticated intelligences, in the world of the wild within. Your breath is adoring the infinite inside your finite form. Each of us are being called upon mightily, to address everything that is out of balance, & to address the root causes. Roots of all kinds, live in the darkness of the soil, every life takes its birth from the darkness of a womb, every breath draws its beginning through the darkness of the inner body, and our beautiful world is learning to take its cues from these organic indications, as it works its way through the growing pains & darkness of a new beginning. Use these techniques to move your energy, to move your life, and to attune your organism.

THE SWEET TERRAIN OF SILENCE

Inside this Qi session we court an organic flow in the tissues of the body, and in the movements of the mind, to harness qigong’s disease prevention capacities, longevity provoking powers, and energy elevating nature.

GROUND OF REALITY

Reality is offering us so much grist for the mill right now, there is so much fodder for transformation at every level. Inside this session we hold space for the necessity of honesty, as being one of the hallmarks of a successful & confident person, It can always be found in their substratum. The successful person has mastered honesty in the same way that a swordsman has mastered fencing. Honesty can be seen as a kind of outer diagnostic of our ability to attain the ground of reality, which can be the most challenging ground to attain.. the living, breathing frontier that we are dwelling in, now. With the way the world currently is, it is very easy to want to numb out or desensitize, and to not fully feel the reality of what is. Press play to explore some techniques that will help you courageously and honestly inhabit the robust, vulnerable incarnation of existence, in all of its unfolding unknows. Come alive in a beauty way. Beauty knocks on the doors of life, it invites transformation, it catalyzes transformation, and even demands transformation, and therefore alchemizes us. The witnessing of the beauty within you takes you to something that is deeper than your doubts, bigger than your holding back, and more present in a well rounded way. Practice helps us to did down deep, & to deliver lovingkindness, further & wider & deeper than our blood ties, than our passion projects, than our professional responsibilities, and even beyond what evolution requires.

ALL CELLS ON DECK

Enjoy this micro-activation, designed to finesse and honor a cycle that began on the Spring Equinox & culminated on this gate day of the Autumnal Equinox. As humanity transitions, we are actively birthing a new phase of evolution, & when a critical mass of people practice together, in community, we begin to create the world we know is possible. The world needs this from us right now, to wake up in every way we can, to call all cells on deck, to be the embodied leaders we know we are capable of being, and to lead and include, & to mend, tend, & befriend in all the ways we can. May this meditation help you to feel more at home in your body, to uplink love as an ethic and a core competency, and to expand the circle of those we see as being part of who we are as individuals and as a collective.

STRONG DETERMINATION

Tune in for a strong determination meditation, that will facilitate sustained change. If we just dabble in a meditation, it might move a few things around, at the level of sensation, emotion, feeling, and perception. However, when you get inside a meditation, and stay inside of a meditation, and let it set a match to all your petty preoccupations, & to any concept you may have of I, and Me, and Mine, it sets a transformational fire. The fire illumines where in which you are fighting life, and who it is that is actually fighting that fight, where your neutrality lies in waiting, for you to discover it, & to integrate it, so your multi-variegated mind can become your meticulous mind. This is a beautiful meditation for creating sophistication, sensitization, and sublime elevation in our Intuitional Intelligence. When the inner conditions are conducive, then the transformation happens elegantly.

CONNECT & PROTECT

Inside this practice you will find a seated Chi flow, perfect for this time of year, as we honor this last day of summer, metabolize the many moving parts of this potent past season, and shift into autumn. Biologically speaking, as we harness the seasonal transition, we become more susceptible to the winds of change, we can experience more frequent symptoms like sleeplessness, anxiety, and general destabilization. This seated practice will help establish your root system, and the recognition that we are already everything that we are searching for. It is a tender counter-balance for the any “off-ness”, that will bring a resonant stability, connecting & protecting your nervous system, combing through any brambles of your bio-field, and readying you to take care of what all you are caring for, with the naturalness of a centered, single-pointed mind. Think of the way the moon effortlessly casts its reflection into a vessel of water, the way it illumines the night sky, uncomplicated & complete. In that same way, this practice can convey a similar quality of guidance, flipping the switch, so your innate wherewithal can emanating from the conviction of your own embodiment and relaxation. Practice is one of the self-development keys that helps us reach clean water. May you continue to lower the bucket, into the inexhaustible nourishment, even when it feels impossible. May you trust the time lines of your own emergence, that aren’t necessarily aligned with our modern operating systems. May you feel connected, elemental, & alive, & cultivate awe for the active restoration in simple root system respiration. Knowing it as meditation and a source of perennial inspiration.

THE PULSE OF BEING

Beingness is always beconing to us, courting us, wanting to enfold us into its wings. Inviting us to to bloom as self awakening. Ascending to the highest heights– to the tender young quivering developmental aspects of our being, it is there for our pruning, and it is descending into the roots, to help us with our attachments, so that we may know the secrets of our hearts, and in that knowledge become an emanation of life’s great heart.

PERFUME OF SILENCE

In the modern western world of practice, there is a lot of emphasis on bypass behaviors, suggesting that simply chasing the light could be an option. The truth is, that the edge of the shadow defines the light. The shadow always hovers as a reminder to us, to reside in the present moment, to be here now, and to use every challenge that arises in our field as a kind of compost, in the garden of our own becoming, to make for a fertile future, with a quiet mind as big as the sky.

SPEAK BEAUTY REPEATEDLY

We are learning so very many lessons in this time about the medicine of the broken heart. When we practice, we align with our human nature, and our native innate capacity to be drawn open, toward wonder, to give thanks as we look toward the adventure horizon of our boundless sky, and to simultaneously evaluate our underbellies, so as to see and know all sides of the story, and host the possibility for change. When I am personally faced with loss, very often times the self-inquiry question of ” Who is it that I am bringing to this moment? ” will arise. Am I bringing a broken or conditioned iteration of self, or am I bringing a full and even vulnerable, deeply alive, & immensely touchable version of my here-now self? In times of great loss, in times of bliss, and in the neutral times in between, as practitioners of this great way, we want to endeavor into uncensored straight talk, with ourselves and with each other. Who are we when we break the mask, drop the facade, unstitch the artiface & airs, and presence here now, in a way that enable us speak beauty repeatedly.

LIGHTHOUSE OF LOVINGKINDNESS

If possible, grab some good headphones for this gong meditation, so to maximize the sound current as fully as possible!! A great turning for each of us, is when we soften into and sturdy up into our spiritual maturity, with all of our ability to respond, and capacity to embrace opportunity, from a place of gratefulness. To be Grateful, is to be full of our greatness. The practice of holding and honoring gratitude, from the deep fertile ground of our innermost happening, is the most resonant and relevant response we can bring to every moment, especially in these tender times or toil and transformation. Every time it feels like the scab is getting torn off, recognize that right there, where your heart is breaking, is the deliverance, the coordinates for transformation, for generating change, and for committing to growth.

VISCERAL COMPASSION

The act of surrender to the flow allows us to tune in to the contemplative side of things, to unhook from the moorings, to align with nature, to create coherence in our bio-field, & to heal our nervous systems. As human beings, we are always part of an epic theatre of inner activity, in the brain, in the organ function, and at every level. As practitioners it is useful for us to take time to slow down, and to surrender, so that we can decipher the hidden depths of what is happening to us. Have the courage to bring all of your joy, into the process of unwinding, and coming home into the truth of who you are. Move the tectonic plates of the mind & up-shift the way energy is moving through the tissues of your humanity, and steward a visceral, collective, compassion. Let the unconditional commitment you have to your own embodiment, be one of your legacy projects. If our physical bodies are numb or rigid, we will not be able to recognize love, endeavor into our own healing, and develop a relationship with our sense of wildness. This is a revolutionary time, we are unveiling impartial ways to love this life, and take care of one another and the planet, in profound new ways. One of the best ways to be a revolutionary in this time is to show up as who you came here to be, full power, and to be that.

TURN TOWARDS BRILLIANCE

So much beauty and strength are available when we presence into the undefended moment, landing here, with nothing to hear, in the unchanging expanse of the limitless. Begin by feeling the revolving still point, the place, the space, the home base, the base camp, that we want to always be in touch with and be touched by, in the practice of life. Your life is your making, every moment matters, and the practice of conscious action, sets us straight so we can make each moment a boost, so that we can identify the wound, and make medicine by turning toward the brilliance. We are being asking to listen, at the level of the crossroads, to embrace multiplicity, & look for beloveds amongst allies, and allies amongst opponents. In the company of shadow and light, this is our ground floor for a new collaboration with evolution. Our common unity is a remedy, a We Space of Consciousness without Identity is our Sanctuary. The work of our honest self inquiry is necessary, so the adult armor may begins to fall away, and we may regain communication with our capacity to self regulate, as human animals, as dust of the stars, as elements of nature, as a collective avatar, stewarding the privilege of a free and full future. Stretch out your long body, to mend the part of the world you can touch. With all hands on deck.

LOOK FROM HERE NOW

Every time we practice we are having a character rich conversation with evolution. Every time we practice we wield the sword of discernment, which is all about knowing our No, so as to Know our Yes, to understand the constructs of our personhood, and to Look from Here Now, in the realization, and reality of what is, enabled to call off the search, because what was being searched for has been found within, and what was being searched for is no greater than the one who searches. We are presented with a choice: to evolve or remain. To calcify in our comfort zones or to shed the armor & awaken to Love more effectively. The path begins the moment we incarnate and take to a body. A blossoming a breakthrough, some invitation, devotion or attraction gets us going in the right direction, building the mental structure for the Way, which wishes to arise. Every beginning is a good beginning, start anywhere. Feel the universe at your back Organizing around your success. • May we attenuate separation and engage inclusively as activist of compassion. May we accumulate merits as immeasurable as there are grains of sand. May we feel the ground beneath our feet and seat. May we be gentle and attentive toward our own struggle and the suffering of others. May we know generosity of heart and broadcast abundant joy, wisdom, and forgiveness. May we move toward life freely as a friend of the world.

MASTERING SOFTNESS

If we are in the freshness of being here now, every moment is a magnificent window of opportunity, for turning toward brilliance. During dynamic meditation, we most certainly recalibrate and harmonize the physical organism, but we also use the physical body, to speak the language of gesture, to generate, emanating, & master softness, & thereby surrender to victory, embracing both stone & starlight.

INTANGIBLES

Relax into stillness, and hear, with your ear to the ground, what it is that is asking to be heard through us, as we plant the seeds of hope and the seeds of right action. One of the themes of this time, is to let go of one’s identity, or personhood. Accelerate the healing process by relaxing into a conscious effortlessness, beyond I or me or mine, or belief, or concept, or opinion. The healing process is neither linear or mathematical. Let yourself be welcomed by the healing process, and be welcoming of it, courting the infinite, anytime & every time you meditate. Allow what is in the formless to be impulsed through you, and to be expressed as the true emanation of who you are.

DEVELOPING HIDDEN GREATNESS

Developing our hidden greatness, begins to arise when we say yes to our beginner’s mind, as an organic, arising, willingness. Our hidden greatness doesn’t always emerge from the accumulation of book knowledge, it comes from a ripening into our elemental, enduring, instinctual self. In the wisdom traditions of the Andes mountains they teach about a kind of spiritual decapitation. Which at first thought, sounds all manner of gruesome, however, there is really so much guidance in it, so that we can develop a courageousness in our relationship to our practice, and completely loose our minds, and drop into the home of here-now awareness. Let the void in, and relax into wholeness, lean back into the hammock of metta, that is always there wanting to support you, as we move through this collective dark night of the soul, all the shadows are coming into the light. All of the meditation technologies we practice are designed to move energy, they poke and provoke, and confront our comfort zones and belief systems, so that we can transition and birth a new paradigm.

LABOR OF LOVE

Dynamic Integration practice, holding Mother Nature as our muse force, leaning in & listening with every cell, to her transmissions that come without words. There is a real beauty to flowing together without spoken language, by listening to the language of gesture. Jump into the full stream here, & fuel your pranic body, experience yourself as a whole body being breathed, to embody every in-breath is a sincere, honest, elemental, opportunity to generate genuine blissfulness, & thereby understand emptiness.

MOVE THE NEEDLE

The trumpets are sounding, the call of this time is for a revolutionary, new kind of love force intelligence. A new vision, that can both awaken us and enjoin us, so we can see with 1000 eye, to greet the not yet met, with wonder, with a humble heart, and full of curiosity. This is a time of Tend & Be-friend, a time for our trust, for our discernment, for our persistence within process, and a wholehearted willingness to begin, and begin again– again & again & again. Jump on in, to feel the meditation working on your pre-structual, dream-time anatomy, your cultural anatomy, and your evolutionary anatomy, let it multiply your energy, let it be a balm for all the breathlessness we are experiencing in these times, and let it move the needle, regarding the way in which you engage with yourself, with others, and even with those who seem or feel to be your opponents.

BECOME THE POETRY

Inside this dynamic meditation, explore the aspects of your pre-structrual dream-time anatomy that are most characterized by ether, slip into this sweet space, where you can really slow down, heal the heart, and rejuvenate. The essential nature of this style of flow, helps us to take in the menu of information that is coming at us from all directions, and make embodied choices regarding what is worth letting through the gates, and what simply is not. Being in touch with your essential nature always makes you more proficient at setting that budget, from a place of living malleability, & agility. Let the muse force out in full effect, become the poetry, and grow widening eyes for your life of practice.

INNER NAUTILUS GONG MEDITATION

The experience we have inside our human body, and inside our mind, is somehow similar to the nautilus shell. The nautilus shell, which is a home for an animal of the earth, our body/mind, so too, is our home, and as householders, we need also be housekeepers, to regularly clean, re-organize, and realize that we have 100% access to clean spaciousness, any time, all the time. It is easy to feel compressed or confined in the smaller chambers of perception, inspiration, or embodiment. We have all had this felt sense, especially in this monumental time of transition, and all of its accompanying emotions. It has been my experience, that sound meditation, and particularly the infinite caliber of sound the gong creates, helps us keep energy moving in the right direction, to keep the emotions in motion, so they don’t become shadow or commotion. It is a key of light, unconditionally willing to open the gates, so the psyche can relax, so the heart can beat freely to a rhythm more ancient than any of us could conjure. May this meditation allure your awareness into the larger compartments of the inner nautilus, so it can unwind, expand & elongate. Meet every living emotion at the door, smilingly, even laughingly, knowing that they are each guests… visitors intending on growing you. As the shell moves through water, it is a kind of revolving still-point, and as we move through the turnstiles of these changing times, we can use our practice to help us know our center, even when the undertow is strong.

MANDALA OF THE MIND

Cleaning up the mandala of the mind, so it can be a tool for magnetizing the creative, constructive expression of dharma & destiny. Open your whole organism, tune into the wave patterns in the umbilical chord of your spinal energy, deconstructing entropy, and generate harmonization within the way energy is moving in and flowing out. Your practice will always be a worthy point of focus, for at the end of the journey, it is the merits of the meditative mind that we take with us. We needn’t wait for the finish line though, for the utilization of the fruits and frequencies of practice, in all its myriad forms, will adorn you with a quality of being, and impel you into a quality of engagement, that pulls you into the heart of every moment, which is where the work of awakening awaits us.

TRANSFORMING THE LONG BODY

We are in the gates of transformation & awakening, in the threshold of massive transformation, and it can be very attractive, very magnetic, to go back into conflictive/familiar ways of being, relating, and engaging; to blame, to shame, to project, to separate, to insulate. Right now we are facing all kinds of new lessons, there are elite upgrades coming to us, and when we notice the old ways of reacting coming up, we can counterbalance those tendencies, by endeavoring into specific practices, that get us square in our saddle of perception & action, to clean up our misunderstandings, & to become a better protector of your equanimity… so our choice making emerging from an empowered inner place of freshness, and so the upgrades catalyze from a place of naked, here-now, in the moment awareness.

THE HIDDEN WALTZ

Access, Accelerate, and Refine the way in which life energy is moving through your latitudinal, & longitudinal, trajectories, and encourage longevity in your vitality. This meditation is an elegant way of reaching through, and mingling with the wave forms, of the umbilical chord that bonds you to your unique creativity. The umbilical chord that was there before you arrived, that is here for you now, and will continue to be there for you as you move through time, so you can be in deeper allegiance with your own fulfillment. Open you eyes toward the Hidden Waltz that wants to be noticed, that is waiting to dance with you, and that has so much to reveal to you. If feeling fulfilled is a focus for you, having some kind of muse-force is a non-negotiable. Every time you meditate, your health and vibrancy bloom, at the levels of insight, impetus, and inspiration.

EYE OF THE HEART

Taking a look at what it takes to come through the narrow road, to inner space. During this unique time, it is so easy for that road to get overgrown, & In Integrative Practices we work through numerous kinds of meditations, Absorption Practices, Stillness Practices, Activation Practices, Contemplation Practices, paths of practice that keep us on the road. Inside this session, in the way that willow branches yield toward flowing water, we softly bend into an Open Space Practice, that will open the eye of your heart, to cleanse out any dissonance, dismorphia, or dystopia. The experience of openness, and emptiness will help facilitate the amalgamation of passion and dispassion, producing radical compassion, and a multi-dimensional equilibrium.

SATELLITE OF LOVE

Everything in life is our practice, & everything that touches us can bring us deeper into the heart of our practice, so to feel everything that is showing up in the human spectrum, so to sit with it, without wanting to necessarily change it. Whether it is grief, joy, uncertainty, bliss, or anything in-between, when one works with mantra, it tunes the mind, making gratitude more available, and giving us direct access to our resources and tools. Inside this session, we use the practice of mantra to create a great burning. To burn the non-necessaries, the illusions, the pre-occupations, the separation, so to be in relationship with reality, as it is now.

THE NARROW ROAD TO INNER SPACE

As each of us are walking this 21st century path, & living in the Coronaverse, we want our practices to serve us at multiple levels. It should assist us in feeling better, metabolizing stress, becoming sharper business people, AND…. it should ground us, so no matter what is going on around us, we feel connected to the infinite, & can wake up higher and higher insight dimensions of intuitional confidence, and intellectual accuracy. Inside this dynamic absorption practice, we develop a curious eye about how to adjust the signals emanating from the satellite of the pineal gland, cleansing dissonance, dysmorphia, and dystopia, so we can take all the energy we have access to, and be constructive, from a place of magnetic inner presence.

OXYGENATE – ORGANIZE – APPLY

As we find ourselves lingering in a deconstructed state, we are all experiencing the symptom cascade of information syndrome, of Covid-brain, & the stasis of calamity consciousness, to some degree or another. The signature stickiness of lock-down thought forms are to perfect reason to saddle up with a regular practice of looking at all the narratives that are going on with a fresh outlook and clear insight, to identify the mental loops that are habitually playing, and trying to hijack our life energy all the time. It is so important that we come together, in this way, regularly, to take groundbreaking steps, to oxygenate, to organize, active, utilize and apply every small awakening in the direction of our mass awakening, from a place of intuitional integrity, confidence, and meaning.

CONTOURS OF ALIVENESS

Feel through the contours & corridors of your belly, backbone, brain, & blood. Open your eyes to the original instructions in the memory of your DNA, the map of sensation & vibration, imbedded in your body, guiding you toward your innate brilliance, toward seeing what you have not seen before, toward hearing what you could not hear before, beyond the beyond. Feel a new story emerging from your lucid body. Each mini awakening can be applied and will ripple out as waves of embodied presence, which is much needed in the frequency upgrade we are all experiencing.

UNPARALLELED

If you are coming up in short supply in the realm of wonderment, during this corona-coaster we are all riding, this meditation may help with the weaving. Accelerate your angles of awareness & embodiment, strengthen your sensory system, open the diaphragm, open the heart, and lift out of any lock-down thought forms that may have been arresting your development. Tune into the resonance of your spine, your evolving bloodline, and an unparalleled light that is eager to illuminate the way.

BEGINNINGS

When we foster transparent communication within, intuitional confidence flourishes. Intuition is a form of intelligence that always serves. It is our intuition that guides us out of the brambles of disinformation, outmoded beliefs, and arrested development– delivering us into a field of dreams, where mining for life alignments are synchronicities is available. Feel the impulse of your intuitional knowledge, knowing its sincerity is more impressive than any external accomplishment will ever be. Practice is a non-normative way of tapping into your experiential sensitivity which pulls us from the discomfort of dissonance, and poises us in a ground swell of integrity, emboldening us do good for the good.

SWIMMING THROUGH ENTANGLEMENTS

There is so much fire in our current world, causing us all to feel emotionally overloaded, & causing our biochemistry to surge with information that makes it a whole lot more likely to feel off our beam, depleted, or in the throes of abstract melancholia. All of this trauma gets stored in our fascia, and in our nervous system, causing us to struggle more so with trusting ourselves and others. Inside this practice you will get positioned in the clean codices of unconditional self-trust, self-worth, self-respect, and self-love, by embracing the process of becoming as a kind of un-becoming. Re-connect with possibility, patience, & productivity. Patience is a form of action that protects our piece of mind, and is necessary ingredient for our emerging new world. Experience your body as a boat that can lead you to the shore of awakening, through these practices for safety and belonging.

BODHASAMBHAVA GONG MEDITATION

Get some good headphones, or plug into a good speaker for this deep dive gong meditation. You can either absorb this session, strictly as a listening meditation, or engage in the activation meditation, simultaneously. The sound currents created by the gong are tremendously useful when we find ourselves entangled with excessive loyalty to the mind, or deficient in the domains of trust and surrender. The gong is an ultimate invitation from the infinite into a kind of knowing that is beyond objects, facts, & data, & into what is called Bodhasambhava– when one awakens into a purity of consciousness, and thereby blossoms into friendship with that which cannot be grasped.

BE AS YOU ARE

Inside this practice, we delve into a mono-practice of Octo-Movements. The gentle repetitions in this dynamic meditation will massage your chi and draw you out of any kind of analysis paralysis, rendering it as a good one to keep in your portfolio. With a mood of friendliness, we will go to the source, move into the mystery, be as we are, and feel into the useful self healing that occurs in form and function, when one comes out of numbness, and arrives into un-presented presence. This is a perfect practice for keeping quiet in the mind, so the consciousness and bliss, underneath the enormity of all existence can be experienced as your core frequency.

SLOW DESIGN

Reserve your mind for all the magnificent things it can do. Inside this practice we meticulously tend to the multi-variegated slow design of our our own unfoldment, by providing a few moments of rest for the brain, breath, & abdomen, so we can see all the everyday traces of beauty and wonder and just how sufficient they are in bringing us lasting joy.

HEART SEAL MEDITATION

The Fearless Heart Seal Mudra is an elegant meditation for reconditioning the beliefs, concepts, and opinions that keep us feeling like we are in a closed universe. Where there is fear we cannot recognize love, and when we stir the love that lies dormant in the heart, a kind of organic innocence is restored. MAY WE … CUT TO THE CHASE, NAVIGATE AROUND THE TRAPS, & RADIATE MAGNIFICENT LOVE DISSOLVE THE FACADE, RENUNCIATE ENTANGLEMENT, COME HOME TO BEING FULLY ALIVE, FLOURISH IN SPONTANEITY, WITHOUT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST AIR OF BEING ANYTHING OTHER THAN JOY, LOVE, EMPATHY, AND EQUANIMITY. “ Authentic joy is a space where everything can become manifest, a permanent display of fireworks that does not garishly taint the sky but allows us to discover that it has no limits. Joy does not tolerate half measures.. one cannot be partially joyous. When joy does not take over the whole being, it is only one of the masks of happiness. Joy implies creativity and the courage of freeing oneself from many of our own concepts and conditionings, and one can only access it through steadfast fearlessness.” ~ Daniel Odier

SUNDALAHARI

Inside this Session we submerge into an objectless, omnidirectional awareness, through the meditative tech of mudra & mantra.

LISTENING – THE ESSENTIAL SOLUTION

Simple, Honest, Elemental listening, born from a meditative mind, is the first step in building a relationship between your body and your essence. It seems that having a robust relationship with listening is more critical than ever before, and to be listening from a place that is free of artifice, airs, or facades of any kind – so you can move your lovingkindness out into the open, as much as possible, especially in this time of lingering in a deconstructed state. When we are confronted with anything, we must listen to ourselves. Listening to oneself, is an essential solution that one has to give oneself.

RING OF FIRE – SEED SOUND MEDITATION

An intentional meditation session, for the Gate of Summer Solstice & the Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse, a rare moment of evolutional turning. Utilize the sound currents of primordial seed syllables to power up and purify the crossroads in the body. Our planet, & we as a people, are experiencing the multitudes, as every imaginable tectonic plate seems to be shifting, stirring up & unearthing collective traumas, polarization, emotion, as well as radical potential for harmonization. In this gathering, we use sound to vibrate the universe inside the tuning forks of our bones, to dissipate density, so settling into the process of self inquiry, investigation, and awakening is unobstructed, and that we may understand these times with compassion, surfing change, & harvesting all the learning and growth available.

RAINBOW BRIDGE MEDITATION

For today and in this time of deep social reparation, and also in this lead in time to the summer solstice, which is a remarkable portal – let us use the rainbow bridge as our vision, our lure of becoming, in our bodies of being, bringing us toward a spectrum of possibility into our myriad heart-mindedness, into unity consciousness. Feel your vision expanding, and your mind being sourced, feel a grand frequency of aliveness, gratefulness, thundering through your system, feel awake in this, knowing you are the infinite in human form, each and every human being, is the infinite in human form, and what you do, and how you do what you do matters, may we choose to live from our fullness, and let that ripple through the world. Remember what you appreciate— appreciates. What you put your practice and attention to is where you grow in intelligence and capacity, may we each become great rooted bloomers, people of great benefit to this world and time.

RE-GREENING THE HEART

PEARLS FOR PRE-SOLSTICE EXHILARATION Always be looking and notice the ground beneath your feet Consider everything to be alive and animate Everything is interesting, look closer Alter your course often Observe for both short and long durations Be teachable Notice the stories going on inside you, and around you. Document your findings, make field notes of many kinds Observe movement Create a personal dialogue with your environment Trace things back to their origins Use all of your sense in every investigation. Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of life. *** There is a bit of white noise issue in this recording, you may want to grab some good headphones and take in the session that way.

MAXIMAL OPTIMISM

Part of being an accountable, awakening participant in a world calling for change, in every community of belonging… is to put our optimism into practice. If we are going to see what love can do for us, we must metabolize, re-frame, and release, on the daily, with compassion as our river guide, as we tune in and turn toward a new horizon. May we take our cues, and with knowledge, skills, and commitment to action… clean up of the many messes, that have erupted, locally/non-locally, & build something beautiful with each other & for each other. May we unveil better ways of showing how much we care, ways that include more compassion, benevolence, and loving kindness. May all the walls that are coming down, make more space for the Loving Beings of our Beautiful Planet. “ Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.” – GANDHI

THE YATRA OF HERE

We are currently in the gauntlet, in the birth canal, as we enter an evolutionary epoch. The ancients & wisdom keepers have been pointing to these times, and now we are navigating. It takes a tremendous amount of endurance to be birthed or to be birthing, it is an athletic event, and we best be prepared. We are all seeking ways to create impact and to contribute as our social ecosystem blooms, & in this session you will flip the switch and access some elevated frequencies that will help you get intimate with the mission that is most resonant for you, and to then be a purposeful designer of that destiny– a builder and a broadcaster of new constellations for compassionate new communities. No doubt there is an immensity of destructive energy afoot in our world at the moment, however, the law of equal energy assures us, that there is simultaneously a plenitude of constructive energies availing upon us too, seeking to awaken us as effulgent expressions of the myriad, capable of evoking new responses, and uncovering relevant solutions.

ZOOM IN ON FULFILLMENT

Every time you practice, you remove the rigid overcoat of what has become outmoded, you shift the zip code of your potential, & sturdy up your sensory system. Practice is a supreme container for potentiating the good and graceful, for taking the trust falls that grant us expansion, to zoom in on fulfillment, & to be in your full juiciness, clarity, and activated compassion. In this gathering we utilize practice to stare every form of conditioning in the eye and say ” No Thank You” I won’t be going there any longer, I am part of the panorama. Give yourself permission to come home to the multi-faceted, multi-passionate way nature is configuring within you.

Now is the time for putting on our hard hats, flipping the light on, and climbing out of the chasm, committed to being fresh start specialists, collectively, for our emerging world.

EXPEDITIONS INTO ENCHANTMENT

Being a human being, being this place where the invisible sanctuary, becomes visible, where the inner terrain flows toward the outer landscape… how wonderful, everlastingly here, illusory, particular, and there for us… at once. May we hold some contour, some sense of inspiration in our minds, at all times, & to remember to have a look at it, at least every now and again, sideways, out of the corner of our eye, to help hold our human tissues alive, so we can merge with the mystery, so we can sit into a wild love for life and for the world, and to move toward the horizon we are being called to. The inner state of beauty, invoked by inspiration, heals so many of the patterns of repetition that get us feeling stuck in the platitudes… and returns us to a well rounded, emerging sense of full power aliveness.

FORMS FOR FACING FEAR

Forms for shifting the tectonic plates of the mind, compassionately annihilating fear, and feeling a free-fall into presence. The fear factor is running high in these times. Fear’s primary agenda is to freeze us in its framework. The truth is, movement is the enemy of fear, so, when the practitioner meets and greets fear, dynamically, the densities and distortions begin to dissipate, and an affinity with inner silence becomes the experience. This class contains some somatic upgrades that will lift your Vibrational IQ. Poetry in motion, for elevating the eloquence of your attentiveness.

TRANSFORMATIONAL SLEEP

The Nidra practice is an expedition into transcendental waking sleep. It allows you to experience your depths, & the vastness of possibilities that are innately yours, & all it takes is deep relaxation, in tandem with awareness, to access them. The first aim of Yoga Nidra is to grant you effortless, as it heals the mind and body. The second aim is related to cognition: as it expands, harmonizes, & honors your intellectual and intuitive capacities– and beyond, calling in a lasting kind of impact. The third aim is transformation in your relay-ship with your living resolutions, what is called your SANKALPA, the elevating focus you can follow on your path, above all else. Lastly, but indeed the ultimate the aim of this practice is awakening. Get some good headphones, lay back for the next 30 minutes, let this practice move you closer to your extraordinary essence, let it be a step closer to fulfilling your reason for being here, alive on this planet now, in these times of profound change, growth, and transubstantiation. Through the years of engaging with a Nidra practice I have witness how it has truly helped me thrive relationally & creatively. It has helped me to connect to & be contracted with grace, to contemplate the void, and slip into a sublime state of healing, sweetness, & inspiration, that is always there, on the other side of the noise we carry within.

ACTIVATING EXCELLENCE MEDITATION

A confluence of Breath, mantra, movement, & magnetism for taking that fierce sense of urgency & longing we are all feeling right now, and turn it into a constellation of commitments, that will help us to not linger in the lowlands of complacency. This set will adaptogenically activate every part of your being, to keep you brilliantly attuned with your excellence. we weary ourselves with all this searching for perfection, yet all the while, it is there, a nectar rushing beneath the skin, giving devotion, & discipline, direction, & discernment. Melt into the love furnace, especially now, tend the bellows in your chest, and the fires that change the shape of your mind, & let your body wear this truth. Let the fire and light of your own awareness, give you the daring to take hold of the darkness, to tear it down, and cut it into little pieces. To shake off any kind of pretend knowledge, and see every living moment as some kind of a prophecy… so to wake inside yourself, like a lotus, rising from the water weeds.

In Integrative Practices we are interested in:

1. practices that help us get more comfortable with being uncomfortable

2. practices that help us put on the hard hat, flip on the light, and climb out of the chasms, when the challenging valleys of life show up.

3. practices that empower us to make quantic jumps, so the parachute of life can open, 

4. and practices that give us the golden key to our Pre-Cognitive Intuitive Wisdom, so that we can know what moves to make prior to the making of them.

Drink deeply of this gong meditation practice. May it be a micro-expedition through your innermost happening, & through your gallery of sensorial perceptions. The synchronicity of these techniques, will help address any of the black outs in your electromagnetic field, smooth over any of the quanta-utero glitches in your sensory system, and stir up your imaginal capacities–yielding an undefended, unobstructed presence, wherein you feel right with yourself… as a multi-directional, conductor– of love-force intelligence, as a human with a feline-like quality of sustainable contentment, and in a mind that is meticulous.

We practice so we can stop tinkering with our joy, and commit, at the level of 100% decision, to living it, as a core frequency, so that even when things are not ok, there is still a part of us that is ok.

YOUR JOY IS ESSENTIAL.

If you ask the old teachings, or if you ask the grandmothers, we are at the line that marks the start. We are experiencing a massive catharsis, and hopefully metabolizing the messages, so to access an Incorruptable Inner Equipoise, to be revolving still points, file converters, and catalysts for truth. We must remain in complete harmony, in quiet stabilization, and observe ourselves wholly. Quiet with our emotions, quiet with our questions, and quiet in the unknown. We have to show up, face our stuff, and become the change. Wherever you find yourself in our world right now, it is exactly where you belong, at those coordinates. We must become more brave at being bare, get out from under our own veils, identify our native genius, and apply that liberally, in the spheres of our influence, as our gift to the world. The end of this session did not record, however the core of the teachings are in this abbreviated iteration.

30 minutes packed with meditative tech that is so useful for these times. These practices will help you utilize the raw material of your own resistance, as being of assistance. Feel yourself going vertical with any thought, feeling, emotion, or attachment that is destructive or dense, activating the more conducive, productive possibility, of the polarity. Enjoy!!

Unconditional Embodiment Practice… Sanity for Humanity. Here is a strategic set of accessible forms, to help us with the variant emotions we are all feeling in these crazy times. Take 30 minutes for yourself, & steward the flow. Become a bright and ardent alchemist of circumstance and essence. Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.

If consumed regularly, these foods will help support your mind, refine your sensory system, soothe and strengthen your digestive fires, and make the tissues of your body more conducive for contentment. I encourage you to try these simple foods for fulfillment: for yourself, your family, and for whomever else you may be sheltering with at the moment. They are easy to make, inexpensive, easy to store back, and definitively high octane. Enjoy!!!
