I did it!<\/p>\n
My class focus tonight at Nia HQ was White Belt Principle #10: X-Ray Anatomy. We danced our bones, ligaments, muscles, soft bellies, desires, marrow, wings, tails, claws, osteoblasts and osteoclasts, directed energy with fingers and hands, floated over the planet, shouted, sighed and shook.<\/p>\n
I felt a bit numb within the bigness of teaching for the first time at Nia HQ and within the process of unchoosing again and again the demons of comparison and judgement as I was teaching. I wasn’t always sure what moment I was sensing, this one or another one. But people definitely enjoyed it. I feel happy and relieved and ready to do it again and have more fun — like losing my virginity.<\/p>\n
It was great to feel the support of having Sarah there and my White Belt sisters. I will post photos when I return to Ashland.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow is the last day. I feel both sad and ready. It has been feast, a feast of knowledge, learning, labor, little sleep, sensing, subtlety, friendship, practice, beauty, trusting myself and opening to the moment. It feels like I have been in Portland for three weeks not one.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, as we are sitting in the studio having a lesson with Debbie or Carlos, I find my point of view has moved. It is as though we are all now in a European movie with poignant, beautiful light, participating in a poetic practice of studying the arts in a moment that may not be world-changing, but nonetheless somehow is world-changing simply because it is happening, and the courageous dedication of all the hearts involved makes the moment print on the Mystery in such a way as to make our loves and our griefs and our desires echo through time and feed something greater that we may not always see but we can feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
