A flower unfolds to the best of its ability due to the conditions around it. And so do you – you unfold to the best of your ability – Kuan Yin

today is the eve of beginning a week of celebrating a new turn around the sun re-creation manifestival and it is the feast day for mary magdalene and i’ll attempt to weave these two together…

~

she who hears the cries of the world,

who softens her heart turning towards pain

who affirms life and lives in love

opens the path of transformation and liberation…

Mary of Magdala, an embodiment of compassion, is said to manifest wherever beings need help – ah, so this elucidates why i’m seeing her everywhere as we all live the eternal questions…

how can we respond to the suffering that is woven into the very fabric of life? how can we discover a heart that is truly liberated from fear, anger, and alienation? is there a way to discover a depth of wisdom and compassion that can genuinely make a difference in this confused and destructive world?

throughout this week, i’ll spend many moments in Sit – Stay – Heel pose breathing into the core, the stillpoint to ask the body and breathe the answers locked in the cells like lost chords…

what are you wanting to bring into manifestation in your life?
what is your greatest desire/inspiration/vision?
what is the obstacle to your desire manifesting or inspiration/vision materializing needing to transform into invitation?
what are you willing to let go of to open up to your destiny more?

while, the flow of impermanence and uncertainty can be daunting for our protective selves who want to keep us safe, thanks be that in our core in this moment with this breath we are able to tune into our essence… boundless love…
