just this
just this……in all its simplicity……welcoming what is here already……
not coming……not going……obscured even by seeking……
So we meet in the paradox of apparent teachings, retreats, trainings or gatherings, to celebrate and explore this nameless presence that we are. At first, there is the tendency to accentuate the myriad of practices the yoga tradition has developed, to focus on concepts like nondual, true nature, awareness, self-inquiry or other-inquiry.
But all this activity eventually leads us to a giving up. And in this surrender what is revealed is seen to be what has always been here, before the search began, during its full intensity and after its cessation. The task turns out to be ceding to stillness, and in that stillness the recognition of just this.
Falling back and resting in what is so familiar that it has been overlooked during all the body sensing yoga, during all the pranayama, all the yoga nidra and amidst all the dialogues, amidst life itself, we find our self simply sinking back into just this.
the recognition of our own heart
meditative yoga
pathless yoga / body sensing / kashmir yoga
Call it what you will. It is a nondual approach to yoga offering quiet, gentle, non-volitional movement as a gateway to our inherent spaciousness.
yoga nidra

meditation practices
yoga nidra: the landscape of me
We begin with a gentle survey of the inner landscape, asking ourselves, How am I in this moment? We then consciously release the weight of the body, sensing how much tension it holds. As we do, we may notice the breath naturally deepening and flowing more freely, feeling its gentle caress without any need to manipulate it. From here, we reorient toward what matters most, quietly asking, Why am I here? Why am I doing this? After sensing the body and the many textures of its contact with the world, we explore the shifting identities this form takes on—moving
supine bodysensing practice
A 20-minute BodySensing practice in the tradition of Jean Klein. Recordings such as this one are not intended for daily use. Listen, follow along — once, maybe twice. Then don’t listen anymore. Extract the feeling of the practice and then do it your own way. Experiment. Explore what it feels like to move with minimal muscular involvement. Notice how effortful movement pulls one out of pure perceiving and into localization.Enjoy!
