juste ceci
juste ceci… dans toute sa simplicité… accueillant ce qui est déjà… qui n’arrive pas…
qui ne part jamais… et qui est même obscurcit par la quête…
Ainsi, nous nous rencontrons dans ce paradoxe d’apparents enseignements, retraites, formations et rassemblement, pour célébrer et explorer cette présence innommable que nous sommes. Au départ, nous observons cette tendance à mettre l’accent sur la myriade de pratiques développées par la tradition du yoga, et à nous concentrer sur des concepts tels que « non-dualité », « véritable nature », « conscience » ou « investigation du soi ou des autres ».
Mais toute cette activité mène éventuellement à un relâchement. Et ce qui se dévoile dans ce lâcher prise est ce qui a toujours été là, avant même que ne débute la quête, durant son intensité et après sa cessation. La tâche se révèle finalement être celle de céder à ce qui est sans mouvement, et dans cette immobilité reconnaître juste ceci.
En s’abandonnant et en se déposant dans ce qui est à un tel point familier qu’il demeurait inaperçu au cours des pratiques de yoga du ressenti du corps et du souffle, du yoga nidra, et au cœur de tous ces dialogues, comme au cœur de la vie elle-même, nous nous retrouvons enfin tout simplement à plonger dans… juste ceci.
the recognition of our own heart
yoga méditatif
yoga de la voie sans voie / yoga du ressenti corporel / yoga du Cachemire.
Nommez-le tel que vous le voulez. Il s’agit d’une approche non-duelle du yoga proposant le mouvement tranquille, doux et non-volontaire comme un portail vers l’espace fondamental que nous sommes.
yoga nidra
Une technique méditative simple, centrée sur le corps, pratiquée tout en se reposant confortablement et qui invite à l’investigation de notre véritable nature.

meditation practices
yoga nidra: being aware
Being aware is not a doing. When there is nothing to reject and nothing to cling to, nothing to fix and nothing to change, then there is nothing to do but simply rest as multidimensional awareness in which all sensations arise and subside.
yoga nidra: resting the mind
A soft and soothing practice for those times when the mind is active or when the nervous system is agitated.
yoga nidra: the breath of life
Waves of breath caress the physical body and flow beyond the boundaries of skin, soothing and smoothing and softening. The breath, neither mine nor yours. The same breath touching everyone, the same breath uniting everyone and everything. The same breath touching all beings, those who are suffering, those whose lives have been torn apart by war, those living in famine and poverty. Immersed in this breath, limitlessness is revealed even as form remains.
yoga nidra: the fantasy of becoming
Some day, with enough practice, I will be…If my body were different, then…If I could just get my emotions under control, then…If only I _, then… How do we break free of the belief trap that something should be different than it is?Can we sense even the possibility that nothing has to change? The “sleep” of yoga nidra offers an ideal state from which to explore these questions.
