AKA Spring!!
This week we will celebrate and honor nature's moment of balance.
For the rest of the year, with the exception of the autumnal equinox, we are either wishing for more light or complaining it's too hot. We are apt to extremes. We feel alive when we experience extremes. We know ourselves when we examine our reactions to those situations.
When we balance we will fall when we seek the edges; the extremes of our structure. Integration is the key to balance.
We've been working on integration rectently. As we notice and concentrate on our breath, we are uniting our mind to our energy. As we move on our breath, we integrate the body into that flow. As we are wholly connected to the breath we integrate ourselves into the moment.
This is the kind of concentration we'll need as we balance in dancer's pose (natarajasana). Hopefully, our integration will allow for enough freedom in this challenging pose to feel something of the spirit of the posture. With all the sunlight and the promise of warmth, could you maybe feel like dancing?
