Notes from Three Practices
By: Amelia Roache
This is a reminder to go beyond the instruction. To expand. To honor and respect the guidance and technique.
– I found the soles of my feet and have cultivated a lasting focus wherein I’m able to stay there, flowing, shifting the weight for almost a whole, long practice. Progress.
– They came together; the soles of the feet, the T’an T’ien and the energy from the most distant star. They were as one.
– I allowed myself to feel the positive within the negative (and vice/versa). That was huge. The next moment I realized the constant exchange between the two throughout the “shifting of the weight.” It’s the exchange that is the active relationship. The silence=the balance. Allow. A reminder. In a moment I had recognized when I wasn’t moving from the T’an T’ien but had gotten too involved in the relationship.
More reflection on these practices: stillness, silence
More to come less to know. What?
Let the relationship be. I have forced nothing on you; your actions. I asked. I received. Where is the block? Recognize the flow. It’s all coming thru. We’re free.
You are not as weak as you make it be
