Deep Relaxation

Deep Relaxation

by Sarab Shakti Kaur

O sweet breath, I thank you for reminding me time and time again of this life,

This life, this bountiful glorious richness, sweet upon my lips.

Each inhale awakening from my depths a radiance I knew not existed.

The loving sounds of the lilting melody of the angels

Float over my eyelids ad into my core, sweeping me into the abyss.

I feel you, curling tendrils of thoughts, drifting there in the periphery, wanting to take root.

Instead, I live your spell, love, the deep well of purity pleasuring me

more than my five senses.  God, you visit me here in this time and place,

This event I call upon over and over again, leading my heart into joyous exultation.

The waves of sound wash over me, vibrating me in the universe, the Universe in me.

I feel the graciousness, the truth, the light, the joy, the happiness, the triumph,

the heart, the soul, the love, all in this moment, this moment, this moment.

I feel you Infinity, touching me, tapping me in my very heart center, calling me to meet you.

You kiss my feet oh queen, when I should kiss yours!  You lift me up oh precious,

Bowing to me, giving me your throne to sit upon, your crown of lilies to wear.

Thank you, oh thank you from the depths of the oceans to the tallest mountain peaks,

To the sacred buildings with your names whispered on our lips.

Thank you for your gifts and your gratitude, oh saint, oh sage.  Thank you!

Hello world!

Getting on the mat and up to bat!

Hello friends!  Here I am typing out words on a keyboard, adventuring into the intriguing unnerving process of writing for online blog publications.  I am writing in a wordpress blog format and will connect it to my facebook and website.  This blog is purely for self expression and is loosely wrapped around my yogic teachings and experiences.  I am expressing my journey to you, my reader, my friend, my fellow being.

What does yoga mean to me?  Every yogi will tell you it is about union.  Uniting with my higher Self and my own authentic voice through a daily yoga practice, a daily writing practice and a painting practice will flame the fire that seems to be smoldering in the ashes, but wanting to erupt like a volcano!  Yoga has inspired me to be interested in my own body and to understand how sometimes my emotional thoughts cause me to shut down and stop breathing.  Just getting on the mat and reminding myself to notice and breathe takes the pressure off.  I have played with having a random practice, experimenting with many different types of yoga, but have recently realized I am yearning for a daily practice, one that includes a substantial amount of meditation time.  It has felt challenging to maintain a regular routine that includes yoga and to keep up with it.  Many weeks I start again.  Often times I find I want to rebel against myself.  To me this seems the definition of insanity to create something, a practice, an experience, only to rebel against yourself and sabotage or stop midstream!  This revelation encourages me to continue and not give up!  If I falter I will start again.  This is my time to shine and yoga connects me to my happy shiny self!  I feel alive!
