In yoga one's practice session concludes with a pose called "Savasana", also known as "corpse pose". It involves lying on the floor on your back with palms up and eyes closed, relaxing the body, releasing control and surrendering fully. It is said that this pose allows integration of the benefits of a rigorous practice, providing a time for realignment and healing. It is the great letting go...
My life feels like Savasana pose right now. I've been in it for months. I'm scanning myself for tension which I can relax. I'm letting myself get soft and receive support from the Earth. I'm closing my eyes and going within. I feel tingly all over. My beliefs are crumbling, like dust returning to the land. My sense of self withers and evaporates into mist. I'm stretching across space and time beyond my life into a vastness. There is a willingness to release. The openings happen bit by bit. I settle in. I drift. I commune. A spaciousness suddenly appears...
I take it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. Dying to who and what I have been. Soaking in the rejuvenation. Nourishing. Nurturing. Allowing expansion~
It seems to go against all instincts to allow dissolution, and yet, it is the natural cycle of beginnings and endings. I am so grateful for this wisdom! I am grateful for patience. I'll just keep basking in these realms of renewal... breathing and being. Loving Source, loving myself, loving this precious life~
Om namah shivayah
"I bow to Shiva, the supreme reality, the inner Self"
