You are the river - Knee-deep underground

After fifteen minutes of melting inwards, my Client suddenly said:
“You are such a healer! In my forty-three years, I’ve never experienced anything like this. After what? 15 min? This is what Yoga truly is - something I’ve never understood until now. And I can do it anywhere, anytime - even while standing in line at the store.”
Yes. That’s exactly it. We can meet the body - our energy - and what I call the supporting forces anywhere, at any moment, as a living, physical experience… not just as an idea.
And, no in this sense, I´m not the healer, you are - or we both share this common ground.
Melting inward is what happens when we come into contact, release our grip, and allow the inner, already-present current to unfold in its own way - exactly as it is.
Here, we become both Witness and Experiencer of a natural inner movement - one from which we are inseparable - a deep connection to earth and to space; to that subtle field that, like water, holds buoyancy and continuously supports every motion.
Here, the limbs, our being - our body and mind - can rest.
Be supported and held.
Melting inward is the act of meeting those supporting forces.
And when we let go, we receive ourselves as a gift - the rising of energy moving through us, carrying us, as our natural state of being.
You are the river -
the rocks, the water, the drifting debris.
And you are the gentle flow
that keeps seeking, ever deeper.
Water will always find its way -
not through will,
but through being.
For the moment will enters,
the soft cascade begins to reverse.
True will arises only
when we are knee-deep - underground
connected to the existing current, feeling the earth itself rise
to meet and support us.
