Feeling Loopy

Just wondering how everyone is doing, and what kinds of stimulating experience we are all having as we go deeper and expand wider...What are we working on, what are we discovering, and how is this all fitting together?

Personally, these past couple weeks I have been playing with the loops, they add a HUGE but positively dynamic complexity for me! My body is experiencing an awakening as I hug in on the idea of trying to gain a better understanding for the loop layer of body consciousness. Extreme receptivity has been absolutely necessary for me to maintain in order to keep the awareness in a state of development, because once I try to formulate some limited intellectualization of the loops, I lose the experience of the grand purpose of the loops altogether. Intellectually, the biomechanics are seeming to make sense. The alignment is following the optimal anatomical positioning that our bodies are designed to employ right? Yes, but I have to laugh because it never stops there. Physical is only one of the pillars of something I like to think of as an Empire of Consciousness. That's just the metaphor it seems. I realize that without establishing a foundation, these energetic dynamics have nowhere to initiate from. Without a fundamental experience of foundation, its kind of like trying to run with no feet, or swim with no arms...(which may be possible through extreme compensation but certainly not full of shakti.) The leg loops are my project for the near future, as it seems I have very a subtle sense of them really. But I've been experiencing a vast and progressive movement of something, probably just Ms. Shakti again, as I set my foundation with inner and outer spiral, then initiate kidney loop...draw up through the side ribs and lift the heart up then the head back with shoulder loop...and keep it moving through skull loop. I feel a really neat activation of the location of each focal point as I draw up the spine and create a spaciousness for the loops like this. Giving the prana a direction to flow seems to heighten my awareness that it is flowing intensely in the first place!

Another thing I found extremely resonating from the video particularly, was John's emphasis on learning that " Our foundation is a reflection of our intention." Whoa. Haha looking deeply and with curiosity at that, I notice that it gets a little sloppy sometimes, and the little yogi voice in my head keeps pestering me to notice, enhance...notice, remember, enhance...notice, reinforce, find another opening, enhance.Then I find myself asking, "What do I really need to align with here?" and "How could an amplification of my highest intention be brought forth?" I find this even in walking, in mountain biking, while standing, during conversation, or just my life in general. I guess you could say this little yogi-voice is just serving as my intention coach, who diagnoses me with recognition, and prescribes me principle. Basically, he/she has a really hard time shutting up, however I must bow to that voice since its intrinsic value is extremely noteworthy because as I begin to listen more carefully, the voice becomes like an overtone that is not so redirecting, but aggrandizing rather, and is an affirmation of why existence is so perfect. I find myself less annoyed, and more empowered by these reminders. Since our reflection of the Universe manifests physically, our asana, and our movement and our stillness serves as an incredible tool of remembrance. To have clarity of intention is what I always find myself reverting to in order to emerge into something greater, and until I no longer need my little friend coaching me back to that remembrance, reiterating the point over and over in ways that always change, and standing up to my ego's various personalities with little combating mudras (maybe the Ganesha mudra Arron Lind brought to our little Kula, thanks Aaron for sharing, and thanks Amy for remembering and re-sharing!) The journey is only reflecting the evolution of the Absolute it seems. Learning the steps in order to dance gracefully with my higher-self is fun if I allow curiosity rather than confusion to be my motivating force. Certainly, becoming more distinguished in the spectrum of life makes it easier to blend...which brings me to the realization of the radiating beauty, the deep goodness, and the illuminating truth of Balanced Action...which is a whole 'nother thing for a whole 'nother day.

Namaste all.
I hope everyone is experiencing enrichment to the fullest, its kind of mind- blowing...all this stuff.
