"As we bear witness to a new day, in awe at the gi

"As we bear witness to a new day, in awe at the gift that has been given… the breath is here. The heart is quivering. The birds have come. Sounds from the other world, a flower, a tree, friends of the senses.

The sun has come up again. The moon is hiding nearby waiting her turn, for the sun to yield later so that the stars can dance out the night sky once more. For just one moment, the veil parts and the perfection is there awaiting our participation.

Your life is not an unending self-improvement project and your heart is not a venture to be undertaken, mastered, and completed. Perhaps today was never going to be the day when you figured it all out, got all your questions answered, or resolved the contradictions. It's just too wild for all that. Just too creative. Just too alive.

Today may not be the day for answers, but to let your heart break open to the vastness of the question. To fall to the ground as a humble lover of the mystery. And listen once again." - @matthewlicata

Life is the dance of change. Sometimes so many rug

Life is the dance of change. Sometimes so many rugs are pulled from under your feet it feels like a free fall. Here your feet on the earth is not a reference point. It’s then that you know that your center is the only true ground, that the pulsating heart-breath-core is the hub of the wheel of the ecstatic dance. That is, if you enter the dance as your own.
Shiva Nataraja is the symbol of this dance - a wild unfolding around the midline with the Heart at the very center. The yoga is to own the 5 Acts - Creation, Maintenance, Dissolution, Concealment, and Revelation - as your own empowerment. Not happening to you, but through you and in life all around you. Creation and Dissolution happen simultaneously, and are held in a seamless reality. We forget who we are - our power, our seat… and then we remember. Sometimes it’s pure Grace that we remember. Most of the time we must reach for Grace through our practices and the great teachings that illuminate the higher truths.
Dance the cosmic dance as your own. Anchored in your Heart. Sovereign in your freedom.

“Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.” - Hafiz

Today the sun reaches its apex in the northern hemisphere. The sun: Life-giving light, the eternal, universal light of the Self. It shines equally on all. May we bask in its unifying presence, and allow its rays to illuminate and activate every part of our being, bringing full-spectrum truth, healing, redemption, grace… and empowered action.

Activated by a solar eclipse too… Radical times. ~ Solstice Blessings ~

~ Learn Deep Meditation this Weekend ~ In conversa

~ Learn Deep Meditation this Weekend ~
In conversations about meditation with folks who are new or who have tried various styles, it seems meditation is thought of as a set of mental exercises that are difficult to do because the mind is so active. That meditation is an attempt to find some stillness and peace in an otherwise agitated state.
Neelankantha Meditation, not only works with the mind and facilitates a natural, easy flow of meditation, but draws you into a transformational process that is so much more than finding a little quiet. Yes, there’s a settling, but there is also what the tradition calls NECTAR - the sweetness of your deeper self that nourishes and consoles, infuses the body and mind with something so good, adds to the experience of life in an utterly important way. And, there’s what the tradition describes as FIRE - a purificatory process that releases the negative impacts of daily stress and the deeper burdens that are imprinted within us. The result is that we are released - over time - from the reactivities and contractions that bind, we become more free to choose, to re-align ourselves and our lives with what is meaningful and purposeful. To come to your daily practice is to bathe in the sweetness of your innermost heart, and, to prepare yourself for creative and effective action as a more true expression of yourself - whatever is asked of you in a day, or in a particular moment in time.
This is why as we are summoning ourselves for what is it that we bring to this transformational planetary time to offer to the participate, I know that my best tool is my own meditation practice, and to be able to offer others a self-sufficient, highly effective, easy and simple way to connect to what supports and refines life and action in the world.

I am offering Distance Initiation into Neelakantha Meditation as taught in Blue Throat Yoga this weekend, June 12th - 14th. Scholarships are available for those impacted by Covid. Please DM me for scheduling and details.
