The Sky Inside is a slow and quiet spiraling into one’s body. It’s a dance that reaches down and into the depths of that body, to find imagination. Through sustained and thoughtful practice, the thinking mind quiets, and the intuitive mind is given space to step forward. This is the moment, when the intuitive mind and the imaginative body are working in tandem, that the dancing opens — to infinite possibility and wonder.
This podcast and these instructions, will goes like this:
I'll guide us for about 10 minutes through a gentle warm-up, with a focus on listening to the breath and sensations within one's body.
After the warm-up, I'll give us an image to play with, such as: "Notice the roundness of your movement and your stillness. Notice how the roundness of your movement spills into the roundness of your stillness. Notice how the roundness of your stillness spills into the roundness of your movement."
Then I'll say: "As you drop and fall into the dance today, a dance that is already in the room, simply waiting for you to begin, notice this spilling roundness from time to time, as you also notice your breath, and as you also notice your body in space, in stillness and in movement."
After that, I won't say anything for a bit. I will start to play some music after a period of silence.
In this time, I invite you to follow the thread of your body and mind unfolding, however they do. You may find yourself in stillness. You may find yourself moving. It might be a combination of the two. Whatever it is, trust the thread that is unspooling from deep inside of you. It is your very own, and it will know where to take you.
This following can be scary, boring, lonely, lovely, blissful, serene, wild, disconnected, connected, delightful, sinking, rising, floating, and so so pleasurable, because this dance of the sky — it waits. Until there is no other choice but to begin.
“Only when we get to look back on this will we really understand how this dance held us and changed us, and dare I say, loved us.” Paulette Fire
Nothing,
then momentum.
Nothing,
then something.
Nothing,
then clarity.
Nothing,
then spiral.
And spiral.
Then portal, open, and the spiral is endless and opening, forever.
Patterns of body and breath in the world.
Shape world.
Shape brain and madness and crazy.
Shape crazy.
Patterns, this portal, this nothing, this breath,
that is everything.
