Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.

Georgia O'Keeffe

Take some time to observe using your senses, it is a beautiful way to meditate. Try it while you’re eating, look closely at a flower, look deeply into someone’s eyes. Walk in nature and deeply listen with all your senses and feel yourself become a part of your surroundings.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

GAD is when you experience feelings of anxiety over a long period of time about different situations and issues, rather than one specific event.

You may feel anxious most days and often struggle to know how to feel relaxed and you may have a undercurrent of constant overwhelm or feelings of dread.

For more information on symptoms and support for managing anxiety I’ve written a series on my blog posts, which you can find via my link in bio.

I have an understanding from both sides on anxiety, having personal experience of it myself and also training in the biology and management tools for learning to regulate it.

Utkatasana Chair Pose is one option as a way of coming strongly back into your body, it provides steady focus and a grounding down that eases anxiety.

The guest is inside you, and also inside me;

you know the sprout is hidden inside the seed.

We are all struggling; none of us has gone far.

Let your arrogance go, and look around inside.

The blue sky opens out farther and farther,
the daily sense of failure goes away,
the damage I have done to myself fades,
a million suns come forward with light,
when I sit firmly in that world.

I hear bells ringing that no one has shaken,
inside "love" there is more joy than we know of,
rain pours down, although the sky is clear of clouds,
there are whole rivers of light.

The universe is shot through in all parts by a single sort of love.

How hard it is to feel that joy in all our four bodies!

Those who hope to be reasonable about it fail.
The arrogance of reason has separated us from that love.
With the word "reason" you already feel miles away.

Directions

Something that has been piquing my interest over the last few months, even longer than, and because of this it has been cropping up in my environment for me to examine. Catching my eye.

I have felt very much like a big stone not really going anywhere, which is ok, it’s a good feeling.

Life has changed a lot, has it for you?

Things places and people that orientate me have slipped away, I have slipped away.

I feel like layers of myself have dissolved , I am very much an observer wanting to contribute, this is not a new sensation, what feels new is the contentment at feeling steady with this, although it is interspersed by the self goading of aren’t I supposed to be doing something about something?

I feel less enraged than ever but not passive. Thinking a lot as usual about my place in this world. My whiteness. My interest in indigenous culture. Yoga.

Directions N S E W. Sunrise Sunset

Maybe it feels like a constant, an arena I can orient myself in.

This sense of feeling lost or is it feeling found? The not knowing an opportunity to let something totally new emerge.

As we pursued our research into alternative narratives, we were struck by the prescience of Indigenous prophecies which presage this moment in the long history of the Amazon. From interviews with Indigenous leaders, we heard about the prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor, a potent story that permeates the cultures of many First Nations in North and South America.

The prophecy speaks of human society dividing along two paths, following the Eagle (from the North) and the Condor (from the South). The Eagle is a figure for the path of the mind: for rationalism, the industrial, the masculine. The path of the Condor is that of the heart, intuition, connection to the Earth, the feminine.

The Eagle and Condor prophecy tells that the colonisation of Latin America from the 1490s began a period of about 500 years during which the Eagle people would become so powerful that they almost wiped out the Condor people. Then comes the next 500-year period, when the potential would arise for the Eagle and the Condor to come together, to fly in the same sky, creating a new level of consciousness for humanity.

The resonance of this prophecy in our current moment needs no elaboration. We have reached a juncture, the moment where our civilisation will decide if these two attitudes or ways of living can learn from each other.

If we choose to continue on our current path, the western mode of consumption will allow our species only a slight chance of survival. This is a moment when the industrialised nations must begin to discover what can be learned from cultures which exist without destroying the planet. How do we humble ourselves to those who know what it means to be a companion species on the living Earth?

Given the issues now confronting us – the Amazon Tipping Point, Covid-19, ecological breakdown, a resurgence in the movement for racial justice, the neo-colonialism of global finance and impending economic recession – there couldn’t be a better time to seek a cure. The logic of our life-destroying culture needs an antidote logic. Our ability to respond, indeed our responsibility to do so is intertwined with the meaning and potential of prophecy

Guru Pranam -

I find it to be a way of collecting myself, the act of bowing to both myself and the earth connects me to the flow of divinity. I use this pose at the beginning of my practice or sometimes as a way to relax and recenter.

-sitting on the heels, fold forward torso to thighs bringing the forehead to the floor (or block/folded blanket if easier) arms extended fully forward in contact to the floor, palms actively pressed together.

Eyes closed focused in toward the brow centre point third eye. Inhale mentally sound Sat, exhale mentally sound Nam. 3 minutes minimum.

This pose balances the left and right sides of the brain, neutralising the positive side of the body right - sun - masculine with the negative side left - moon - feminine.

The theory behind practising Pranam Mudra palms pressed together is that there is a polarity in the body between the right side, the pingala, and left side, the ida, the energy channels running up each side of the spine. Bringing and pressing the right and left palms together, neutralises the positive and negative polarities of the electromagnetic field thus creating a neutral space in your electromagnetic field, your energy field.

Full Moon in Aquarius.

Freedom.

What’s your dream for a new future?

The Earth and Galaxies need to know.

I dream a future world where nature is paramount, natural laws are respected, a fair and just world where everyones deepest emotions are met, where we learn what love really is and our basic needs are a given, equally. A world where we benefit from future technologies that allow us to heal the earth and gives us freedom to rest and be.

What’s yours?

Dream big.
