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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
