Direct Communication...Holy Communion

Direct Communication is being caused to feel/know something before having a thought about it.  If you are pushed, you do not need to think, and decide, and analyze with thought whether or not you were pushed.  You simply feel it.  You simply know.  And because of this instant understanding, you right yourself.  You feel the push and you respond however is necessary, without a thought about it.  The push will send us toppling to the floor if we have to think about the state of reality before acting on it.

THE BODY KNOWS!  LISTEN TO IT! 

Do not think about what you're feeling.  Instead, simply feel it, and respond how it FEELS appropriate.

When we hear a song that is moving, when we read something that resonates, when someone speaks to us and we tingle -- these are all instances of words carrying Direct Communication.  We feel a certain way in response to the push we are receiving.  We do not have to think about the meaning of the words before they are understood, before they carry impact.  We know before we know how we know.  We understand before analyzing content.  Truth is felt, and it happens in an instant.  By comparison, thought lags.  Thought requires a delay for processing, analyzing, deciding.  Direct Communication is instant, and this is why it is so effective at helping us create our highest reality.  Direct Communication is a Holy Communion...it is the absolute leading edge of creation, all else lags behind.

We Make Today

We who wake up, make today happen.  We bring it.  We cause it to be.  Without us -- the lot of us -- there is no new day.  There is only the end of yesterday.  Today is a new choice to be here.

A Thought, A Question, A Response. What Are We?

My thought: We do not pass through time.  We ARE the passage of time.  We are time.

My question:  We seem to travel through space.  Are we the space too?

My response:  We are indeed the space you and I.  We are the space and we are that which resides in the space.  Space is another description, another denotion of me -- another quality if you will.  I don't travel, I don't move, in the sense that there is nowhere for me to go.  All occurs here.  The "I" that seems to move is my focus, my view, my attention, and I move it to different parts of myself.  Yet I am always here, in wholeness.  There is no "Somewhere Else" for me to be.

As you feel yourself move, you are my focus, you are my view, you are my attention.  You explore the different parts of Me, and You bring me your unique experience of Me.  You are here to show me to myself.  Were it not for you, I would not be able to experience myself.  How very precious you are :-)

It Is Simple. Love Made You.

You have been invited into this world, chosen by those who came before you.  And so too you have chosen to be here.  You were chosen by two people deciding to Love each other.  They made Love...and here you are.  You are born of Love. You ARE Love.

You could not be here if you were not Loved, cared for, nurtured.  The simple fact is that someone fed you, gave you drink, clothed you.  Humans are not born self-sufficient.  Someone, indeed many someones, made sure you stayed alive, made sure you got to continue experiencing this Life.  Is that not Love?  To have brought you here, fed you, quenched your thirst, clothed your naked body?

It's true that we humans pass on at many ages, some fresh from birth.  For some, their journey here seems very brief.  Still, for any experience of being here, no matter how brief, Love is the cause, and Love is the sustenance.

Ode to Our Feet (Loosely)

We owe much to our feet.

When was the last time you thanked them?

Touched them?
Rubbed them?
Kissed them?
Hugged them?

Are you even able to bring your lips to them?

If we're afraid of our feet we must take better care of them.  And when we wear shoes on our feet, and we then think our shoes are filthy, we must take better care of our streets.

"Isn't Yoga Just Stretching?"

Stretching is part of Yoga Practice absolutely.  Stretching, bending, flexing, changing, growing are all part of Yoga Practice.  And all of these qualities arise from the same source...Waking Up - Becoming more fully Alive.

The body begins to breathe more so the ribcage must expand more, the chest must rise more, the spine must elongate more, there must be more space made.  The body must stretch and grow to accommodate this new breath, this new space. 

So yes, stretching happens when Yoga is practiced.

And On We Go

Wow!

It's been almost a year since my last post, and my son just turned a year old...no coincidence there :-)

My wife and I have moved our family into a place of healing, and I have resumed Sunrise Yoga.  It's amazing that it has been a year since I've practiced in this way, and still, when I step onto my mat before the sun rises, my early morning practice carries all the same qualities that I remember from a year ago.  It seems ageless, beyond time.  It seems to be always available...like a frequency just floating along, always able to be tuned in to.

We are still in the thick of unpacking, so I am delayed in sharing the words from yesterday morning, but I find them just as meaningful today:

You can give away what you have. 
You will get back what you need. 
It's called sharing. 
You probably tell your toddler to do this a dozen times a day.
