Welcome, all - This week's reading is an excerpt from the inimitable Danna Faulds: "A door opens. Maybe I've been standing here shuffling my weight from foot to foot for decades, or maybe I only knocked once. In truth, it doesn't matter. A door opens and I walk through without a backward glance. This is it then, one moment of truth in a lifetime of truth; a choice made, a path taken, the gravitational pull of Spirit too compelling to ignore any longer. I am received by something far too vast to see...'Be." the vasteness says...without adverbs, descriptors or qualities...so alive that awareness bares itself uncloaked and unadorned. Then go forth to give what you alone can give, awake to love and suffering, unburdened by the weight of expectations. Go forth and be seen, blossoming, always blossoming into your magnificience." I encourage you to look further into Danna's amazing work (she has a number of published books). Wednesday and Sunday class homework for hatha folks: play with plank at the wall - keep it light and playful - how can the torso remain as a functional unit while tipping towards the wall (not letting shoulders, ribs or belly collapse? what supports you, and how is breath involved in assisting? For nidra - continue to explore the felt sense difference between centred and uncentred, whatever your 'prefererred' version is ;-)
