This month has been full to the brim with waves of intensity, waves of deep unwavering knowing, waves of complete overwhelm, waves of crystal clear clarity, waves of miracles and definitely waves of a subtle scent of something new on the crescent of the moon. There is a scent of something magical in the air as we continue to forge a new path from right where we are, no matter how challenging it may feel, no matter how slow your progress may feel externally. There is major work happening deep below the surface, in the murky underworld, where excavation is always necessary. The effects are not quite visible yet. They will be. If you sniff the wind in those quiet moments, you will sense the wind changing.
Between these great moments of burning fear and allowing the intense feelings of being completely out of control, there is a great sense of everything being exactly perfect as it is, even if we don't completely understand it right now.
My daily practice is what carries me. My sitting in and surrendering to the burn is what carries me. Our souls are truly great. We are simply here to fulfill and honour a purpose, a soul contract. I continually need to remind myself to get out of the way of myself. It is all way beautifully bigger than me, than you. Once we start clinging, attaching, resisting, running from what is alive for us in this moment, that is our big sign to sit. Sit. Sit and observe what is there. No matter what. SIT.
This month the kriyas that have arisen to be taught are ones like: "wake up the body to handle stress and strain" "radiant body kriya for courage" "kriya for pleasure and happiness" "sexual energy transformation kriya" "glandular shine" lots of healing ra ma da sa sa say so hung meditation, as well as "removing fear of the future" with the beautiful soothing dhan dhan ram das guru mantra for miracles , healing and blessings. Such beautifully perfect kriyas that leave us feeling recentered. Reset.
We are all in the process of birthing a new age. I love the Rebirithing Kriyas that Yogi Bhajan taught in the 80's. They are so pertinent and perfect for these times. A deep clearing of trauma and subconscious pain occurs with each one.
This months Kriya: ARDH KECHARI KRIYA again, was very powerful. Yogi Bhajan said that Kechari Kriya is one of the most sacred kriyas in yoga. With this particular kriya he said it would take 7 days to integrate the effects. To assist this process he said 32 oz of any citrus juice should be drunk for 7 days after practicing it.
July also saw the ending of my 3 months practice of another round of Sopurkh. I have done a few rounds of those over the last couple of years.. This month also marked the beginning of another practice of Bound Lotus and Japji Sahib. This time working towards it being my 1000 meditation. In three years I will let you know how that went!
On this 31st day of July 2016 I leave you with a poem I wrote today after my meditation.
Spin
I spin through the desert of my dreams
rainforests rip through me
moons circle my sun
stars become me
light shatters me
I merge
melt
pulse
endless
I am all of everything
skin
borders
lips
lungs
tongue
and eyes
dissolve
no
body
no
boundaries
endless
infinite
nothing
end
less
in
finite
no
thing
i
am
