From an open heart

Freedom.
Be as you are.
Notice the subtle energies, the details.
They are letters in an alphabet - shapes, different patterns, different sensations - moving in waves, swirls.
Watch it move.
Is it up high or down low?
Is it moving across the chest and shoulders?
Are there blockages, resistance, judgments, releases?
Is it all inside of you, or does it emanate outward?
Do you feel it is yours - it belongs to you?
Or is it grace - moving through and beyond you?
Relax.
Breathe.
Freedom is yours.
It's everyone's.
It's everywhere.
Step into the river and feel its current.
You are not just thoughts or feelings trapped in a body.
Your awareness can soar above the clouds, fill the room, fly out the window - dance with trees and merge with rooftops, hills, rocks, squirrels, whatever.
Twisting.
Writing.
Stretching the neck.
Going fast, going slow.
Whatever arises, align your sail to merge with the wind.
You can't fight it.
You can't control it with force.
But you can align with it, and with a gentle invitation its course can tack toward love.
A love of all things.
An embrace.
A grace.
An energy without name.
Breathing.
Being.
Fully aligned with the flow of life.
This energy can relax you, release old patterns of tension and the "shoulds" that power them.
Your tensions can melt away and let non-doing arise.
Your body's wisdom is always there - and can move and heal you if you let it.
Sinking in.
Settling.
Ready for the next wave, the next pattern, the next letter in the alphabet of being.
Always changing, ever flowing.
Full of grace if we welcome it and wait with open gentle awareness.
Grace, oh dear beloved, grace - find your way into me and let me be at one with you, and may we bless the world with our presence.
