Yogis,
I notice…..I want…… I see…… I do…… I trust……I am grateful…..
I speak up…….and I connect.
I AM.
But who is this ‘I’?
I have been starting my classes with chanting over these
last several months. Using sacred sounds and words to clear our energy, open
the heart and send out vibration. It feels great! Then two weeks ago at a yoga fundraiser we
were treated to a gong bath where you lie on your mat, completely relax and
soak in the vibration of the gong. Another
vibration reset.
The next day I was reading the blog of the gong sound healer
and she spoke to how the vibrations of the gong, crystal bowls and chanting are
indeed healing. But that their deepest gifts lie buried below. They are our
guides into the silence. Yes, yes, yes!
Suddenly something clicked.
Each time I chant, it is that second immediately following
where I find the deepest peace. Where the silence is so loud that I can hear
it. The sound is the path. The silence is where we are headed. I realize that the same can be said for the
physical asana practice. We move, open
energy channels and send breath through all to be able to arrive in complete
stillness.
Take a cleansing breath now and then watch this 10 second
video….
I vibrate......
We live in a noisy world. Bombarded daily with the beeping of our phones, appliances, computers
and clocks. The tv, traffic and talking gas station pumps have become our
background. Web sites startling us as
they yell out, no longer even waiting for our consent and newspapers telling us
how we should feel by sending their energy our way. All of these with their own vibrations that
we then begin to mirror.
So who is this ‘I’? It
can be hard to tell sometimes.
I have been doing a lot of walking on trails through the
woods with a friend and our dogs these last few weeks. We came upon this stream, got still and
listened. In that sound I was reminded
of the silence. I could hear it even through
the sound of the water. A vibration reset. A gentle tap on the shoulder whispering to vibrate as me. The me that is
unchanging and observes this outer world. The me that longs to be heard.
Everything we seek can be found in the silence and the
stillness. There are many paths that
lead there but you must choose one and follow it.
‘I’ am a unique vibration in the symphony of life. ‘I’ am still.
‘I’ am free. ‘I’ am sending me
out to the world. Can you feel me?
I can create anything,
Sarah
