Inner Sensing

Have you ever tried to stop the sun from rising?
Have you pulled weeds and felt their tenacious
Grasp on the soil, on life?
Have you seen the ebullient spirit of a puppy,
The epitome of vitality?

That same aliveness is what you are made of,
Present even during times of fatigue, illness and in the
Transition from life to death.

Even though you are still,
Your heart is devotedly beating in the core of your ribs,
Your breath is sweetly moving,
Your craniosacral fluid is rhythmically refreshing
Your life again and again.

Sally Kempton says, "When we sense life inside us,
We are sensing our own personal spark of that
Huge, primordial life force. It is the energy behind
The breath, the heartbeat, and the movement of
Our thoughts and feelings."

How to feel this essence?

Stop now, and turn inward and trust
Your own sensitivity to the subtle
Realms of existence.

You may feel your own aliveness as
Light, vibration, sound, color, heat.
Let your awareness
Go deeper.

What do you feel in yourself
That you did not personally create, that has always been there,
And will never go away?
What do you feel inside
That was there when you first became aware of being?

What do you sense,
That you sensed before you could speak?

Deeper, deeper and deeper still.
What you will find there is tender, sensitive, open,
Clear, simple, accepting, soft, innocent, excellent.
It is.
It is your own eternal and Self-sufficient home.

(Poem: Denise Benitez, Painting: Erik the Artist)

We are dedicated to your expansion.
With love from your teachers,
Denise, Rainey, Bianca, Meg, Beth, Jane, Grace, Rebecca, Jorge, Erin, Ellen
