We are on day 3 of the Essence of Yoga Sri Yoga Retreat here on the big island of Hawaii. And because we are in the jungle, we are focussing on the elements.
Day 1 took us to earth. How to be stable, steady, without being buried, stuck, dug in. How the earth holds us, receives us, absorbs our shock. How from this surrender of our troubles, attachments, fears, into her, she responds back with lightness. A feeling of re-birth. A feeling of being light and stable at the same time. It was sunny.
Day 2. Water day. Finding the fluidity within. Cultivating a creative approach. Going with the flow. How water can eventually wear down even the hardest rock. It poured.
Day 3. Today we are in the fire. It started out as another rainstorm - I even got a garbage bag from the kitchen as a raincoat. By the end of practice, the rain stopped. It's beginning to burn off. The rest of the day we take a metaphysically healing (healing and metaphysics optional, yet available) as we prepare to pull the whole consciousness together. And tonight --- fire....
God. I love It.
Swaha.
Ho.
Peace.
