The Yogabliss on-line Moving into Meditation classes met this morning. We focused on letting go as the leaves are letting go in the days before Autumn Equinox. We explored different ways of finding “the rest inside the unrest.” These restorative practices give us a chance to slow down. We create the space and time to tune into feeling alive and listening to our inner music.
Today’s guided meditation was inspired by Cheri Dostal Ryba. Cheri is a yoga therapist who focuses on women’s pelvic health. In her book Pelvic Yoga Therapy for the Whole Woman, Cheri writes “becoming aware without judgment or immediately “fixing” ourselves allows us to receive accurately, wholly. From that baseline of clear perception, we can respond skillfully, lovingly, articulately.”
We heard Danna Fauld’s poem, Go In and In, from her collection: Poems from the Heart of Yoga. Danna offers a “poem of the week” on her inspirational web-site.
We heard Jennifer Williamson’s beautiful poem, I Am Enough. Jennifer, a suicide loss survivor, offers grief support through her website, Healing Brave.
