I’ve been practicing instinctive meditation for a few years now. I picked up the “wrong” book for my 500hr yoga training. I was supposed to buy Patanjales Sutras. Instead, I bought The Radiance Sutras, a translation of the Vijnana Bhairava Ta**ra. I read the entire book front to back. Couldn’t put it down and couldn’t wait to discuss. You can imagine my surprise when I realized my mistake. Turns out it was a good mistake because it opened a doorway into a meditation practice that changed my life for the better during the throes of postpartum and has continued to influence my practice and teachings since. The Vijnana Bhairava Ta**ra is an early teaching on yoga and meditation. The name, loosely translated, means “the terror and joy of realizing oneness with the Soul.” According to Lorin Roche, PH.D, author of Radiance Sutras and an incredible spiritual teacher, “A ta**ra is a manual of practices. This one is a book of yoga meditation instructions, set as a conversation between lovers. The focus is on full-body spirituality and accepting every breath, sensual experience and emotion as a doorway into deep and intimate contact with the energies of life.” I love the idea and practice of using our senses as a gateway into our healing and into the present moment. Flowers are a gateway into meditation for me. Nature, breathwork, beautiful spaces with rich history, birds, clouds, painting, slow and intentional movements like restorative yoga poses, music….these are other doorways into meditation that I use. I invite you to join me at Salem Cross Farm on Friday, July 31st at 4pm to learn about this type of meditation and to give yourself moments of peace. This is a wellness experience for all walks of life at all seasons of life. No yoga or meditation experience required. Come exactly as you are, wear comfy clothes and bring a mat. Or you can use one of mine! $22, sign-up on my website 🤍✨ Salem Cross Inn & Salem Cross Farm are the perfect location for this offering. It’s like it was designed for instinctive meditation practices. See you Friday!
