today's essay at Wake Up Feldenkrais.blogspot.com

Playing and Stupor, parenting and waking up

essay today,
over at Wake Up Feldenkrais
on playing
as the boy
above is doing

playing
without a plan,
without copying,
without compulsion,
without efforting,
as a key
to learning as a lifelong
joy

and if we are parents:
what about this:
to watch play
encourage play
and rediscover
play
in our life

active play
not just paying to be entertained
or letting the tube do
it,
but real play
as we
invent
from within

amazing when
we re turn
to who
we really are

and that being
is now
and playful
and quiet
and serene
and creative
and inventive
and ......
alive

essay today
over at Tai Chi Yoga Health Weight Loss blog
on eating
as a path to
the happiness
of eating ourselves into a stupor
or
the happiness
of waking up
to the now

with mention of
our old friend Gurdjeiff
along the way

hmmm.

The Power of Ananda Yoga Plus Wake Up Feldenkrais

The Feldenkrais Method, and Wake Up Feldenkrais
is superb at this:
allowing us
to come to the moment,
allowing us to train
and improve our awareness,
our brain,
and alongside that:
our grace and ease
in moving.

Yoga, of the traditional sort,
is pretty good at giving us
a guiding path of
how to place of bodies
in positions
that allow us to feel more full
of life,
a little more flexible,
more in tune
with how great it is to be in a body.

Ananda Yoga,
with an emphasis on affirmations
that accentuate and hone the poses
into arrows of direction,
directing our energy in
and up the spine
to our brain,
directing our attention
to higher emotions
(One, for example is,
"I radiate love and good will
to soul friends everywhere.")
and to
the Higher Nature in either ourselves
or some Higher Spirit (God??)
in the Universe.
(for example:
"With calm faith,
I open to Thy light.")

So with Ananda Yoga,
with not only have the body
and mental awareness of most yoga,
but we have a deep confirmation
and accenting of
the emotional
and spiritual basis of yoga.

And with a Feldenkrais companionship,
we have a deepening of
the immensely easy
and pleasurable
improvements in
awareness
and thinkng
and moving
that can come from a system based
on learning and discovery
rather than that old trap
of "Doing it Right."
