Zen Flow, the art of Being and Becoming 

Ways to Know Yourself; 

The way of thoughts and emotions : The way of the physical senses 

 way of peace and tranquility 

The way of flow ; The way of human goodness, and we shall be well: 

Discovering who you are and your place in the universe is a celebration of the beauty, symmetry, and elegance of natural forms and the practice of seeing more directly with a beginner’s mind.

 Emergence Of Consciousness 

Radical Authenticity Sacred Responsibility Lived Experience Embodied Existence

 "Just let go” we are often told, yet letting goes never seems easy. This is often because we treat it as something we need to do; but letting go is an “undoing”, an unlearning and releasing of the “holding on".

The Way of Flow is the way of life, just the regular. ordinary world experienced with radical fullness, spirit is ordinary life experienced to the root; correlating spirit energy with ordinary experience is very important, we must observe how an ordinary experience becomes waves of impermanent over and over again - a hundred times, a thousand times - before it becomes transparent that every ordinary moment is extraordinary, we must observe with tremendous patience in the science of awakened view complete embodied experience is the name of the game, when experience flows unimpeded the oneness of spirit and unity in all flows; when experience gets blocked we escape the moment we don't stay present long enough to observe the multiplicity of conditioning arises; there's absolutely nothing wrong with this world of multiplicity and material as long as its not your only version of you that you are familiar with; being clear on this allows us to enter effortlessly non-dual awareness; so as you go about you day to day activities, emptiness and form shade into and out of each other, like a dance smoothly and continuously ; Even in the most complex , intense, mundane situations Source is never not present it's You that is not present:

Flow is the mysterious dynamic or energetic aspect of sensory experience: The word dynamic points towards change and the force that can create change; You may not be able to see the winds themselves but you can observe in real time and great detail Autumn and leaves swirling from trees, wrinkles silently gathering round eyes, yours, your parents, friends, partners, even your children, yes aging is nature in flow and when we act against life, against nature, against the way things are we block life force, life flow;

When we directly recognized the impertinent nature of life we get the great cosmic joke and aging becomes a most profound spiritual practice everything is spiritual practice in disguise; Thank everyone and everything the ones you open your heart to and those that trigger you to react and close;

Open fantastic - Closed Terrific. everything is Medicine that alternates between dissolving into flowing openness and nothingness and detecting with great kindness the subtler and subtler instances of solidified somethingness;

ITS ALL A DANCE

Embodied Awareness of the Body Mind

Learning how to be in a body with out jumping out of our skin 

"To stop your mind does not mean to stop the activities of mind.

It means your mind pervades your whole body.”ess;

For many of us, our bodies can be a painful and confusing place because our feelings reside there, we tend toward breaking up our human experience into a simple duality of the psyche it is more than that; We begin to see that these feelings don’t just arise in the body; they get stored there. Like an attic that accumulates dust and cobwebs when ignored, our body-mind of sensations, feeling memories, and emotions can “clutter,” resulting in a challenging emotional life. So just as our corporeal body suffers when we don’t take proper care of it, so too does our body-mind. Yet, we are often not taught how to tend to our emotional body-minds,  so we are unfortunately left with habits of numbing, avoiding, and suppressing the felt experiences that arise within our bodies. The moments between perception and conditioned response can happen so quickly that we do not make a distinction between our initial experience and our reaction to it. This begins to change when we develop a regular meditation dance practice. Since meditation involves accessing and deepening our awareness, eventually (whether we like it or not) we will begin to notice aspects of what can be called our body-mind that had been previously dormant.

Developing awareness of the feeling body can have an extraordinary effect on our cluttered emotions as we begin to attune to parts of ourselves that we may have unconsciously suppressed or avoided for years; meditation, dance practice can be a powerful tool for unpacking the various energetic constrictions that our bodies accumulate. By becoming aware of these feelings more fully, we bring them to the surface. Once at the surface we practice attuning to them and meeting them gently with kindness and compassion, treating our-self as if we are someone we deeply respect and care about;

Yet, even after learning that the body is the starting place for meditation, I have seen many dancers / mediators struggle with how to approach a more embodied or felt practice. We want to get out of our heads, but no matter how hard we try, we just don’t know how. Instead of reinforcing the body-mind habits that are keeping us stuck in more activated nervous-system patterns, we can gently turn toward the body with inner awareness, growing our ability to know (or feel) and meet our internal experience within the body. Inner awareness is both a quality that comes naturally to us when the body is healthy and one that we can develop through meditation. But just as muscles in the body can atrophy when left unused, our interception awareness can weaken. Fortunately, like other skills, we can pick up our practice and re-learn it.

Awareness is something we cultivate in steps. The practice starts in the body as we work with bringing awareness to our physical form and breath. By building our practice slowly over time, the conditioned body-mind has a chance to safely catch up. As our inner awareness develops in meditation, we become skilled at meeting ever subtler sensations within the body. As this capacity deepens, we notice their changing and transparent nature, and are able to approach them with a more inquisitive and compassionate heart.
