The Left, Right and Center of Practice

Our bodies are a perfect reflection of the universe, as noted in the Purusha Sukta; our bodies are our universe. The verticality of our embodiment opens vision and the visionary dimension of our being. Our relatedness to the horizon or the horizontal dimension of being is our feeling capacity. We ‘happen’ as two legs and two arms only from a deeper than deep intention to Be.

The skin spreads only around the bright light of the spine, the bright light of the spine only shines from the Heart. In truth, we are a compass into which all directions magnetize at the Heart, then, we decide consciously or unconsciously to identify with up and down, being or action, the left or the right. This weekend will center on heart awareness of the classical Surya-Chandra Bhedana (The piercing of the Sun and Moon) or the relaxation of opposites in the center of being/feeling through a great balance of forward and back-bending asanas, the meticulous use of all horizontal asanas and a tremendous amount of subtle application of pranayama. All this interspersed with inter-relational exercizes to widen all understanding into our personal lives.
