12/15 - Brief meditation on the elements and attuning your body to them as a walk into ether: space/emptiness.

Your ego is never gonna wake up friends and it is not the enemy :) And, your mind is not gonna get you there amigas. Stop trying to figure it out and just BE it. “IT” is always here, ALWAYS. Without exception. Love is with you. How can you welcome yourself more fully into practice and life? ALL OF YOU :)

Home Play: Get curious about emptiness wherever and whenever you notice it. How does it feel to be with it? Invite it into a contemplative meditation “what am I ready to know or see about emptiness”. Do you sense any correlation between emptiness and freedom?

Be silly/have fun and as you’re engaged in whatever playfulness, become the Witness of whatever perceptions/actions/sensations are arising. Then, for some of you, feel into dissolving the Witness (like a soft wind blowing away grains of sand) and just be witnessing…Witnessing Presence everywhere and nowhere specific.

12/22 - Torrie is opening the directions today! And she did a beautiful job. 4-week Meditation Intensive starts 12/23 - write down your intention!!! Tonight we did an hour long meditation - Body scan and virtual nadhi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) with quiet time to explore/experience witnessing awareness.

12/29 - No Class.
