I have written so many posts on alignment. You've heard me rant. You've heard me rave. What's left to tell? Well...
We talked about the spine in a few new ways today. And letting go of our attachment to pain. And to our attachment to having to work hard. And we embraced obstacles in Yoga Nidra. And ate amazing roasted veg enchiladas. And watched the Buddha breathe.
So what is left to tell? You have your own alignment. You can't find it in a book. You may be able to find books or teachers to help you unlock the mystery of your Self to yourself, but after that door is open, it's your playground. You are you playground. And you are the player. Player. Play-yuh.
Play, yeah...
The one thing that is new is how the idea of community became part of the theme. We must be reaching a state of stability and wholeness, or this idea would not be creeping in. I smile at this. Ariticulation/individuation first. Find the movement in the joint. Understand how much movement works for the joint. Then integrate that joint into the Whole. The joint knows how much force it can take, and how to best take it. When we all know ourselves, we fulfill what we are designed to do. Knee joints can be knee joints - not the smaller sibling of the bossy hip joint. Rib joints can be rib joint. Spine joints can be spine joints. And with the understanding of the individual, when faced with a force as powerful as gravity, we can cope with balance, grace, and efficiency so the wear and tear doesn't fall on one or two joints. So those one or two joints don't burn out. So they live the life they were destined to live. Not too short. Not too long. Just the right amount.
Authentic alignment. Possibly more tomorrow on this.
peace from the Redwoods!
