“The art of meditation is deeply rooted in ancient spiritual paths, yet it is equally relevant and transforming for people today…the central message of meditation is not bound by religion, culture or time.” - Christina Feldman…
“We bow in discipline through our spiral of Five Directions to seal attention from the inner and outer worlds thus integrating awareness as intention, breathing in feeling, feet to head, one body moving but still at centre:
o We turn to the East, awakening to rising sun by feeling strength within my whole body, accepting today as my gift from all those living before me.
We bow to the East!
o We turn to the South, seeing not walls but touching the intense roots of self as vibrant energy, recognizing life as the spark igniting the fire within.
We bow to the South!
o We turn to the West, gazing on setting sun: daily promise of our certain future death which marks the final pouring of all our actions, breath and energy into those lives coming after us. We bow to the West!
o We turn to the North, sensing our world beyond words both within and without time, under stars, sun, moon, dark matter spiralling overhead. My flaming spirit refuses to give up on anyone (including me) and faces challenge at any time.
We bow to the North!
o We separate down the Centre circling into our symmetrical whole, seeing the mirror of our attention balancing in each other’s eyes, while breathing life and our best energies into our companions to encourage us together toward exercising our best efforts as a team.
o I dare you to awaken your whole self and to challenge me to do so now. I bow to my Others at the Centre from my centre!
My body is light! I am light! You are light! She is light! He is light! We are light! I’m alive, we’re alive! We can change the world!
We chart our path to happiness with this light compass, training ourselves to face life as it is in all its forms with open heart, calm breath, clear mind, awake spirit, and alive body igniting the fire within. Let us move now to create our best destiny in real peace. May our healing deeds illuminate the lives of all others and end suffering to create awakening as true peace! Calm, ready and sharing light, let us exit laughing.
“In silence lies the ability to listen; to listen to ourselves, to others and to the One. Listening is a lost art. Without it we cannot communicate, we cannot relate to each other and so we cannot live life meaningfully. We need to learn to listen. Sitting in silence allows us to listen to ourselves and to understand. This silence can heal. The worries, the pain can be healed when we listen. Spiritual medicine is ever-present in the soul. Whenever we need it, to whatever extent we need it, we can find it within.” - Innerspace
