A new autumn is coming

I have been away for some time, sweept away in lifes ever changing river.
There is so much transformation going on all over the planet, talk about yogatimes. I heard somebody say today that God, (however you experiance God), will help you through the hard times, and for me that was an insight, that when times get to rough and I even blame God, God is there to help me. What ever I do God is there with me.

My deepest yoga right now is to let go, relax and trust in God. I have to remind myself every day that God will take care of that wich I cant handle and that I most of the times dont know the shortest way to where I wanna go.

Yoga, devotion, surrender, to recognise myselt as totaly free, existing as love, not existing at al.

With gratitude for flowers and tall pinetrees, almonds, breasts, skin and kisses

Happily not knowing

This day is blessed
Devotionyoga

I accept

It can be sutch a blessing to stop ”trying” to be so good and feel so and so and just with love relax into the place, space and mood you have. From that place the soul and body starts to shine by small fuisons on cell-level, releasing that love which has been held back by the minds way of puting things, experiences and yourself in systems, holding the alltime beautiful way of life in it’s grip.

Strange day

To be honest this is a strange-feeling-day. Don’t know why. I think I’ll just go home and sink in to the body to see what it is, sadness, frustration, tiredness. This is how I do (one way of manny), first I feel it, then accept it and me totaly as I am and give myself what I need and then I go on with a brighter vision and thoughts with more truth about who I really am.

Daily words

I just had a wonderful conversation with this woman that comes to the shop where I work. I such a gift to meet people sometimes, people witch remind you of who you are.

Thank you beautiful woman.

Daily words

Do you ever get this thought;”I’ll just stop what I’m doing and lie down to die because there are so many people that can do this better then me”.

It happens to me occasionally, for example right now. And sometimes I really believe it for some days, this time it took me 10min to realize that we all have our unique flavor to what we give. This whole fixation about education on paper, certificates etc, can drive me mad. But I guess it’s needed in some way. Soon when you apply for a new job you will be asked “do you have a certificate on how to flush the toilet?”

So I remember to bread, and smile.

Have a super nice day!

Through passion and death

Today I want to share something about dance, yogic temple dance. It has been in my mind for some time now.

I talked about this thing some days ago, how I feel like if my life is just running through me without really giving the essence of my being, partly because I don’t see the way yet. How I am going to “pack it” or form it in to concrete actions and also what the core of my gifts is.

Yoga and also dance are to of my main passions in life. If I would describe what the dance I do is like I would put it like this;
-Imagine a body moving without mind, following the call from the universe to show the beauty in those who watch. Letting the people in the sacred ceremony, the interaction between the dancing spirit and observers, be seen and recognized by something greater. Inviting through vulnerable hearts the grace of love, bliss, total acceptance or whatever you want to call it. To connect our feelings with the truth in each of us.

Now imagine this information, or something like it, on a poster for a dance performance, am I totally stupid if I think that this is hard for people to understand, and more unbelievable that someone actually would buy a ticket? (Except my friends and those who have witnessed it before).

Can you see my problem?
Many times I have though “it would be so much easier if I was destined to be a lawyer, then I would know what kind of education I’d need and have an accepted position in the society. Of course this is a big lie, I will never be in a more perfect place then where I am right now.

It seems to be Inherent in my bones; this longing for total freedom, the joy in my life comes from expressing and living the truth about who I really am, and to let you investigate who you really are in your most transparent and yet human form, where your total experience is that you are love, not that you know it, YOU FEEL IT. . . . ups!!! think I just put into words a big part of what the core in my gifts is. Hallelujah

May my soul and yours rest peacefully in what ever comes. Death is my companion.

Love

To be different

Some days when I wake up I can’t really grasp this thing of being a human with toes and fingers, a mouth to swallow with, it’s like if I stand out side of everything. Looking at this world with a stock market, people, children are literally being sold and everything goes on.

 It feels like if I am stepping into a new era right now, in consideration of my life. Suddenly it’s so obvious how I am holding myself back in terms of creating what I want to create. I see myself hesitating, not 100% believing in my own ability. I find it hard to break down my projects into manageable steps. 

I have always considered myself as different from the mass. It’s nothing that I brag about but actually right now I am a little tired about not fitting in, and of course I create that separation to. Why is it so that if you believe in things that stand out from what others and the society believe you need 20 scientific researches to prove that what you think is okay even though it’s not how someone else feel or think. However, very often I and you will find the proof that fits to our own believes anyway. Companies selling cigarettes will maybe always get away with providing people with a stick that create massive illness, pain and sorrow for millions of people/families. But if I would speak on national TV that I believe that the overconsumption of milk creates a lot of problems and diseases and that we can get all the calcium we need from a vegetarian diet (and YES there are scientist who know this) no one would take that in. IT’S NOT ABOUT RIGHT OR WRONG, YOU CAN NEVER THINK LIKE THAT WHEN YOU READ ON THIS PAGE. But it’s about letting everyone proceed with the information they have, not to judge everyone who thinks different from you.  

So here we are, big changes are taking place right now in the world, on the earth we live on together. I feel I want to upgrade my creative process. How long will I wait and walk in the shadows not taking responsibility for the gifts I have to give?

Come on, you to

Is it time?

Tadasan- ”less is more”

En sådan vacker dag, jag är glad och berörd av livets magi, hur saker och ting utvecklar sig och låter livet blommar i än mer avslappning. Det har varit en lång tid av starka utmaningar, för själen, relationer och den längtan som finns.

 

Min kropp förändras ständigt.

Under många år har jag arbetat med mina höfter. Under en tid av mitt liv hade jag så gott som ingen närvaro från mitten av låren upp till de nedre revbenen. Min högra höft har varit överroterad till höger/utåt vilket har lett till att nerver varit i kläm, skapat smärta och strålat ner i högra benet. Jag har arbetat ständigt med denna del och allt eftersom infinner sig mer avslappning och balans. Det är en otrolig skillnad. Visst kunde jag ha varit bitter, ibland rinner måttet över i frustration och panik men på det stora hela kan jag se hur mycket jag har lärt mig att se och känna olika kroppsdelars djupa samband, vördnad och tålamod inför kroppens visdom och min förmåga att vara närvarande och lägga märke till ytterst små detaljer.   

 

När jag praktiserar tadasana känner jag hur höftkullan genom små korrigeringar hamnar djupt in i höftleden, hela benet centreras framåt och rymd skapas inne i höften. Hela överkroppen lyfts naturligt från fötternas grundning i jorden och den rymd som skapas i höften, med energin uppåt. När jag står och diskar tar jag med mig denna upplevelse och sprider min närvaro genom hela kroppen så att jag inte står och hänger i höften.

Det är lätt att tro att tadasana är en mycket simpel, lätt asana på grund av hur den ser ut. Men det finns så mycket att hämta och lära ur denna ställning som ger mycket bla för praktiserandet av andra asanas. Ibland är verkligen ”less is more” så sant. Genom dessa grundställningar lär du känna din kropp och finner efterhand visdomen för svårare asanas, den plats där universum rör sig fritt i din kropp . . . . och själ.

Länge leve enkelheten

I månklar natt
