My 120-day Spiritual Cleanse ended today with a reading from Sage Woman. Her reading really summed up my experience over the last 120-days. I think what it boils most strongly down to is that I now have a spiritual relationship between my body and consciousness and the relationship between my mind and consciousness finally has a chance to grow.
I’ll be honest and tell you that my thinking head has been driving me a little batty. I feel like two people. Highly aware of my thoughts as they arise this other me watches on and I swear this other me is a little snotty in it’s “above it all” ways. There’s a battle brewing and I’ve had many the thought that I don’t want this witnessing awareness to win. I mean, what’s the fun in that? After all, I’m a yogi. Yogis eat life. We don’t observe it. As my teacher, Mark Whitwell, says, “yoga is the full participation in life as we know it.”
So, I’ve put a workshop together for December. By then I will have fully completed the 21 Stages of Meditation and I’m thinking a truce will have been drawn between these two entities that I am calling me.
The workshop will integrate lecture, yoga, pranayama, Kundalini, and some other esoteric practices to open the third eye center. It’s going to be a pretty deep experience and will include moving as a group through a 62 minute meditation. When the workshop is complete, your third eye will be open.
How will this help my battle and perhaps your battle too? Opening the third eye or the ajna chakra allows you to directly see spirit. The boundaries of time and space fall away. Intuition kicks in and the thinking and planning mind can take a break as you simply flow in all that is. It cultivates effortless ease. Drama diminishes and worries dissipate as the knowingness of your life purpose or dharma reveals itself.
Sounds pretty good?
And don’t worry. Once it’s open it’s open. I’ll send you home with a practice to do when you think you need a little tune up.
