September – October 2020 — Shamanic Meditation Studies  (Open Awareness)
 
I plan to hold our October Meeting on Saturday October 17 at 3 pm Arizona (6 pm eastern) time.
 
Please continue to make the time and space to Just Watch life flow through you during your busy day. Each day this month, invest at least 5 minutes without filtering life through a personal point of view.
 
Whenever I notice myself tense up in uncertain and divisive and times like these, I find it critical to make the choice to relax and open up the aperture of my awareness. There are three places in my physical being where that tension with life appears – my toes, fingers, and third eye. Knowing that, I make a conscious effort to relax into the tension that I feel in those areas.
 
The relaxed feel of undivided attention on the knot of tension reveals a free-flowing Consciousness, beyond the purview of the body/mind. That is when I am open to other transitory realms of existence (Bardo States) –  Consciousness beyond the material world. It is not a matter of going there, but making more room for there and here to converge.
 
We once thought and believed that the world was flat; we now know otherwise.  We also believed that consciousness does not survive bodily death; that certainly does not match my experiences. Check it out from the Dreamer's perspective – Open Awareness. Let go of all you believe you know…
 
Please post what you experience or don't experience…
 

Namaste,

Keshav

    While enjoying the silence of the morning and sipping a cup of matcha tea, I felt inspired to share something I was reading…this conversation takes place in the Aboriginal outback of Australia. The conversation is between Agnes Whistling Elk, a Cree Indian Shaman from Canada talking to her apprentice Lynn Andrews…Agnes draws a circle in the sand to represent the medicine wheel…they are talking about the sadness Lynn is experiencing… "You are throwing power away. That kind of energy loss is a small death.

    Some energy you can thrust out into the sacred rounds of life and it will return to you like a boomerang. The energy of creativity. Energy always returns to its source when it is born of creativity. In the north, your spirit is inspired with the wisdom of an idea. You take it to the south, to trust and innocence and you dress that inspiration with a physical presence – you manifest your spirit. Then you travel north again for recognition and the fullness of your spirit becomes an exchange of energy with the world. There's a circle there and new energy is born. In throwing out a negative mood or thought, the movement is straight like this stick. You start at one end and drop off at the other. There is no returning." Mitakuye Oyasin
