Amazing Grace

"May I live this day
Compassionate of heart,
Clear in word,
Gracious in awareness,
Courageous in thought,...
Generous in love."

 

John O'Donohue

 

There is an ever expanding grace working always, supporting us always. If we listen.

Yoga is a cycle, a receptivity of grace, inhalation and giving to grace, exhalation.

It is also sitting or laying down quietly gently in grace. Grace comes from an infinite variety of sources or agencies, place, person living or past, or from no apparent source at all.

It is just there.

When Yoga is practiced, patriarchal superstition appealing to any external power is transformed and replaced by the Yogas of participation with Self knowledge in the given reality. We ground Our Self. We join with Our Self. We connect with Our Self.

Yoga, sincere (re-) connection To Our Own Divinity becomes more useful and true in our daily discerning choices as patriarchy dissolves. As more feel them Self as sovereign, as already complete and facades once needed for "protection" or "survival" diminish, we collectively grow.

God, deity, guru, spouse, the body in its intrinsic union and perfect harmony with the entire known and yet unknown cosmos are clearly felt to be arising in the One Given power of this cosmos in which Everything is Happening.

Whether it is the faithful of Hinduism and Buddhism or the world faiths of Islam or Christian or Jewish and all their derivatives, the Yogas of full participation are required.

The Path of Full Union Is Everywhere. Let It In. Expand your awareness. See diversity as Union. If we do not judge, we do not have to forgive.

As well as for all those who have rejected their own intrinsic faith, thei inner Self, for the blandness, exploitation and consumerism of an external or secular life. A busy External life is paradoxically keeping you from full union with Self, for what is within, in joining with Self, also births your external reality.

The entire neo-liberal society has been infected by fear in many guises installed by out-dated belief systems, be they in business, governance or religion. It is time to Let Those old ways that may have once served us, Go. They are now holding us back.

Intimacy and grace with life is no longer to be denied including the collaboration of equals empowering each other in endless exchange. A teacher ceases To Be a teacher, when we have learned true Yoga, absolute knowledge and Union of Self.

We embrace life now with  ALL the Yogas that evolved in the ancient world before patriarchy in it's many forms was imposed on humanity.

These Yogas of full participation are freely given in the continuing, still unspeakable beauty and depthless wonder of Now, our present time.

Astrologically, this weekend are moments of big shifts, but also a preparation time in order to ground and give tangibility to your next phase.

Are you starting to feel the elemental shift – as if your prayer flags are beginning to ripple in a breath of mountain air? As if you’re being lightly touched by the cool winds of grace and possibility and stirred gently awake from your trance of inertia and exhaustion?

This weekend, Augst 25th and 26th as the Full Moon in Pisces aligns with multiple deep space planets - Chiron, Saturn, Uranus, Quaoar, Varuna and Makemake- at 2-3 degrees of their signs– collaborate with the change of element from Fire to Earth and Water by seeding ideas for practical realistic new missions after Mars turns direct on Monday 27th, Saturn turns forward on September 6th and we exit the triple eclipse tunnel on September 9th.
 
This next two weeks are a time for deep physical healing, repair and integration - don’t jump straight into the Next before you experience the Now.
We need to be grounded before we create next season’s growth.
