Musings on the Mountain...Tadasana

Stand as if you had a little magnetism at the bottom of your feet, like mother held you safely. You stand on your home...our Earth...and let there be also magnetism towards the divine light...our Sun perhaps, maybe something beyond that. Let those two very gentle magnetic forces allow you to suspend between earth and sky. You are held safely without effort in these moments...let your Self completely relax and expand only as far as feels good to you in this moment and the next. Each moment may change. Please don't hold on to yesterdays moments...

I stand as if I had a little magnetism at the bottom of my feet...like my mother held me safely. I stand on my home...our Earth... And l let there also be magnetism through my crown toward the divine light of truth love and wisdom...perhaps our Sun...or maybe something beyond that. Is divine love infinite? I let those gentle magnetic forces allow me to be held effortlessly in my stance in this moment...suspended between earth and sky. I allow myself to relax and expand only as much as feels safe for me in this moment and then the next and the next... And I try to remember... to cherish... but not to hold and suffer with yesterdays moments...

When I was a child I was terrified of infinity. I used to go so far away from the room I was sleeping in, in my mind. I was terrified to comprehend that there was always something beyond... farther, and farther, and farther...could I ever return? Not that it is bad to face ones fears and learn, but what if when I was a child my mother held me and said, "beyond that is more love... and beyond that even more and yes beyond that yet more and more...?..."
