The new view. What sees? Who is looking? The Self

The new view. What sees? Who is looking? The Self knows the Self. Revels in the glory of itself. Rest in that awareness. Explore this for yourself. Explore what it means to you to rest in the awareness and deep peace of your essence nature. Soon, in this way, how we look disappears and what arises is unity. .

Wishing you all a peaceful weekend wherever you are in the world. Special thanks to @annachocolaofficial for my beautiful mask 😘 .

Light. Particles. Matter. I can’t explain this moment but for me as it spontaneously arose sitting in the light of last night’s setting sun, I felt the sensation of being spacious and alive, connected and with full awareness. Like a living meditation.
.
.
If you’re interested in meditation but put off by the idea of it being something lofty and out of reach, consider joining my class tonight to allow the experience of meditation to override the idea. Hope you can join me. Gentle movement. Mantra (listen or join in). Meditation. Union (yoga) in the fullest sense of the word. .
