One Conscious Moment
"In profound meditation, we drop below all and become absorbed
In the great gathering within consciousness.
We plummet deep, deep into our real nature."
Eknath Easwaran
"Every morning, before you step into
The world of relativity, soak in the great freedom
Of vibrational, wordless Consciousness."
Paul Muller-Ortega
"Dip your bucket in the well."
Ram Dass
May we, as a species, learn
How to navigate not just the depths of the ocean,
Not just the intricacies of business and finance,
Not just the outer reaches of space,
But the inner depths of our own aliveness.
In this chaotic and information saturated
World, may we be willing to sit quietly
Every so often, inquiring into the mysteries
Of our breath, our heartbeat, our moment by moment
Brilliant rebirthing of cells, organs, bones.
Have you ever seen a baby's first breath?
Or been witness to someone's last breath?
At those moments, the portal opens and we see
How awe-some aliveness is.
With constancy, may we always refine the quality
Of our awareness, such that we achieve
What the ancient yogis promise as the fruit of practice:
Silent, beautiful, perfect, open sky, vast,
Floating, soaring, deep peace consciousness.
Impossible for me, you may say.
Possible for everyone, the yoga traditions assure us.
All that is required is dedication, persistence,
Devotion, over a long period of time,
With unwavering faith and
With all your heart.
(Poem: Denise Benitez, Photo: Unknown)
We dedicate ourselves to your evolution on every level. With love from your teachers, Denise, Rainey, Bianca, Meg, Beth, Jane, Grace, Rebecca, George, Erin, Jenny, Ellen |
