Practice Creates Reality

Dear Friends and Students  I'm sitting here looking out my big cottage window at the dark, grey sky writing this Spring Newsletter!  I can't believe the amount of rain, cold, and even icy mornings we have experienced this winter! I can always feel  into the change of the season, usually in a way that brings a fresh outlook or renewed faith in life.  Spring, of course is that time naturally as the flowers bloom and the sun's rays come down a bit more, How do you see, when you look out your window? We sense, see, experience from different places from within. Depending on where we live, *most of the time it's in the mind* we see from that place. Often it is a limitation of the ENTIRE or whole part of what is our actual or actualized self. This is both a cultural and conditioned way of being in the world.   However......I have found that through somatic practice such as Yoga, or receiving body work or using full body meditation, we can become whole again! We often separate ourselves, or dis-embody which causes us to fragment and lose a deep sense of who we really are. GOOD NEWS!   With practice, attention, awareness, and more expansive experiences that include embodying yourself you can SEE THROUGH YOUR WINDOWS...YOUR EYES... From your entire body. Your truth. I find that this brings a greater sense of joy and happiness, hope, and optimism, also understanding and compassion for others. I also find that it helps me see things for their fullness rather than their lack. This is especially helpful when going through a hard time, where the mind tends to dwell in darker pockets or focuses on a smaller picture, rather than remember it's true nature..Once we are full we can naturally see or say, "Oh, remember the beauty of Spring!"  It's like remembering to smell the flowers.  It's Spring! Things are blooming, life is flowing, and truly all is well. Below I'm offering a VERY SHORT practice or tip for embracing your fullness, seeing and sensing from a wholistic space. If you want to learn more you can also join me in one of my courses on Self Realization OR schedule a private so I can teach you how!     Anyone can learn.   Happy Spring!  Embrace and Be Free! .

Try This: Practice Creates Reality! Sit or stand and imagine or feel that you are pouring your mind, like pouring a pitcher of water into your whole body. Your entire body is receiving  a full experience, while your mind is emptying out. So you fill up from your toes, through your feet, ankles, legs, pelvis, trunk, neck, arms, shoulders, hands, fingers.   Fill yourself up with a sense of energy, while emptying your mind!!!   You may feel bigger,  you've grown spiritually! PRACTICE: See from your heart space instead of your eyes. Feel from the ground up, from the feet first. Let your eyes become one with your face and sense the world rather than see it. Move through your day from deep within, rather than the external space that we usually move from. Most important, Stay deeply connected to this full state and also experience your day, the world, from the OneNess or Wholeness of this space. Move from place to place without leaving or disembodying yourself. Stay connected to the internal spaciousness from within. Relate to others in a fluid connected space, rather than from me to you or you to me. In the garden, on the beach, in nature feel yourself fully connected from deep within, notice the translucent states that arise as you experience that you are ONE!
