Awareness Knowing Itself

Settle in the here and now. Reach down into the center where the world is not spinning and drink this holy peace. Feel relief flood into every cell. Nothing to do. Nothing to be but what you are already. Nothing to receive but what flows effortlessly from the mystery into form. Nothing to run from or run toward. Just this breath, awareness knowing itself as embodiment. Just this breath, awareness waking up to truth.

Today walking along the misty Bodega coast 20-30 degrees cooler than a quarter mile inland, there was a freedom I felt. Freedom from the self-importance in my mind. I felt space as I was dwarfed by the magnificent vastness of the Pacific and her sea life teeming…

As we celebrate our “freedom” this week. May you feel the freedom of connectedness to a Greater Magnificence (whatever that is for you) with gratitude and the commitment to preserve it. ~Monica

Your uniqueness, even on zoom, is wonderful to behold. Starting in July Wednesdays at 11:05, we will be offering a “I see you” class based on Pilates fundamentals. For 55 minutes I will be offering you personal feedback on your movement. Space is limited to 9. Come and let me see you.
