Hello, and welcome to my first blog.
To begin with, Body Universe is an attenuation of something the Buddha said:
"Within this fathom-long body lies the entire universe."
Sounds a bit new-agey. Like the quantum-physics-meets-the-Secret-self-help-What-the-bleep wave, huh?
Yep, it is. And it is true. We are all that! Everything that there is to know, to feel, to learn, to give...We posses within. Of course you already knew that.....
I forgot before. I occasionally forget still (sometimes multiple times per day, per hour...) But that is the interesting part of this being human. We get to think that we are individuals for a while - Work through the whole ego thing, while feeling the gamut of emotions - pain and pleasure, loss and gain, praise and blame - being Moved by these, even as we work toward to ultimate goal of embracing all of these, steady as a great tree.
How? How and why? Just exactly how and why do I work with devotion to be able to embrace life without resistance?
Out of compassion, out of compassion.
Out of great compassion.
A publicly personal blog - I journal about my experience with meditation, working with people, yoga, what it means to be in pain - and what it means to embrace life.
