hello again

marlie in yoga pose
Marlie moving her five lines
in a nice shape


wake up Feldenkrais is
about this:
to move with awareness
in the Feldenkrais mode of
trying new configurations
of our
five lines

to move
slowly
so we
can really pay attention
(which sounds like a costly thing,
until we realize
how costly
inattention
is:
to wit:
we are not there
as
our
lives
are happening.


the old "what profit a person
if they gain the whole world
and lose
their soul"


and....

what is the "soul"?

ah,
a

fun question:

and when Pierre,
in
War and Peace,
gets shot
and is on his back in a field
and looks up
and sees,
really sees the blue sky,
as if he'd never seen it before
((actually, he'd probably "seen"
it like that hundreds of times as
a child,
but
we forget
as adults,
how awake we were as a child,
enthralled with the world,
and not enslaved to the clock
and to expectations of others
and our own inner patterns and slaveries))

anyway...
when Pierre
sees the sky
like that,
he found his way,
back to his soul)


and in Feldenkrais and the
Anat Baniel Method
and in real spiritual work
(my definition,
which is to say: not just on the ass in meditation,
and waking like a zombie in
walking meditation,
but living in meditation)
the quest is that:
to return
to our deepest
truest
selves

to our
soul


and going slow
and minimizing force
and being
excited at what we are discovering:

this is what
wake-up ANYTHING
is about

and sure
this too:
less pain
more ease
more joy:
in learning
in living
in moving

and wake up feldenkrais
is offered
as classes
and as individual work
and my work
broadens
out to include
emotional work
to find freedom
from unhappiness
and connection to ongoing peaceful joy

and includes
for those who
want it,
consultations
on land use
in the Permaculture
mode

all
ways
about this:
waking up
to the ease
of a whole system
working
with sweet
connection
to real nature

la la

am i present
now

that is one
useful
and
sweet
question





have
a sweet
awake
day
