REFLECTIONS on PRACTICING in NATURE

After some very important time in the desert. . .surroundings that are of my birth energy . . . I have been renewed. . .

with the potency of wide open skies ...

with the slow chrystalline moving energy of rocks - each with different signatures

with the wind that weaves its way amongst the more fixed elements. . .

I have found how much that my yoga practice needs to be in harmony with the elements.

I tried to "do" some asanas atop the rocks . . . it wouldn't happen, my body didn't feel right . . .

when I was in harmony . .. after I relaxed into "not doing" the asanas. . .

arose a magical effortless . . . a beauty that isn't but also is MINE . . .

I became a rock, a sky, a wind, a raven, a tarantula . . .

I recognized my shamanic presence. ..

I want to share this with you . . .

I want for you to come into nature with me.

I want for us to throw away the "sticky mats" and learn to find our spider web paws and climbing feet.

I want for us together to play in our gravity. . .

and our levity . . .

to melt next to a rock, or a tree or in an ocean or a spring as close and intimate as our lover.

This will break all the rules . ..

it is a tantric-shamanic journey for the brave-hearted. . .

who are not afraid to burn down their houses to see the wide open sky . . .

freedom is in this path . . .

and I will walk,

dance,

paint,

write,

move

in this way . . .

i invite companions . . .

are you coming with me?

lets make opportunities together to share this presence of our Mother Earth . . .

the sky, the flow, the presence, . .. the stillness.
