<br />
From below the earth to above the sky.<br />
<br />
Inside the earth lava is dark blue<br />
<br />
As inside the body blood is dark blue<br />
<br />
As lava and blood touch the air they turn red<br />
<br />
Feel the heat of red in the loins.<br />
<br />
As lava comes up through the ground it is orange.<br />
<br />
Feel the power of this orange glow in your gut.<br />
<br />
As orange cools it becomes yellow.<br />
<br />
Feel your will transform orange into yellow<br />
<br />
From orange through yellow into green.<br />
<br />
As roots grow they become green.<br />
<br />
The earth is covered with green.<br />
<br />
Feel this green in the heart.<br />
<br />
The horizon turns from green of grass to blue of sky.<br />
<br />
Feel this blue in the throat, in your words, in your song.<br />
<br />
The light blue of the sky turns into the indigo blue of space.<br />
<br />
Feel this indigo in the mind, above and between the eyes.<br />
<br />
From the midnight blue of space comes the light of the sun and the stars.<br />
<br />
Feel this milky way of stars shower from the top of your head.<br />
<br />
Feel your body as the conduit for the entire color spectrum.<br />
<br />
Feel the color spectrum as the system of life<br />
<br />
From ground up and from sky down.d scribehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08242682202760522439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388024093920210002.post-46067281025559592512009-07-12T09:06:00.003-07:002017-05-23T17:05:40.347-07:00Sutra 9Notice how there is infinite space above you. <br />
Notice there is infinite space in front of you and behind you.<br />
You are sitting on a giant rock, which is made up of space.<br />
The rock is speeding and spinning through space. <br />
Around the rock is infinite space.<br />
Feel how you are in the center of infinite space,<br />
a tiny being in the center of all space, <br />
expanding through all of space.<br />
<br />
The center of the circle is here,<br />
The circumference everywhere.d scribehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08242682202760522439noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388024093920210002.post-3019822702728783672009-07-12T09:03:00.001-07:002017-05-23T17:04:07.534-07:00Sutra 8Nothing is greater than your feet, which connect you to the earth.<br />
<br />
Nothing is greater than lust, which drives all life.<br />
<br />
Nothing is greater than the will, which is the will of the universe.<br />
<br />
Nothing is greater than the heart, which connects all of life.<br />
<br />
Nothing greater than the voice, which communicates with all life.<br />
<br />
Nothing is greater than the mind, which is awareness of life.<br />

eating. Go slow and savor the music of <br />
reading this poem. Enjoy the mix of flavors<br />
of words made of flesh. Then turn inward to<br />
the bliss, itself, and savor. Find the joy <br />
in the breath, in the sounds all around.<br />
Take listening deeper. How deep goes the sound?<br />
The deeper you follow the further you're sent.<br />
<br />
Try to find the bliss without the antecedent.d scribehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08242682202760522439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388024093920210002.post-71382439444518583552009-05-21T17:05:00.001-07:002017-05-23T14:06:47.160-07:00Sutra 4Feel the energy travel slowly up the spine<br />
like tiny ants just below the threshold <br />
of sensation, the imagination made real, <br />
feel them rise from your base, slowly,<br />
like littly subtle bubbles rising,<br />
warm and electric, until<br />
they shower from your head<br />
in a fountain of light<br />
<br />
Slower still and deeper yet<br />
start from the base again<br />
<br />
And again-<br />

<br />
Breath flows in to out,<br />
out to in, in to out,<br />
coming in and out, you<br />
feel the air pouring <br />
out and then in <br />
subtle particles of air<br />
sucked into your lungs<br />
exhaled from your lungs<br />
back and forth<br />
in an equilibrium<br />
echoing eternity<br />
<br />
In the space of the small moment<br />
before taking a breath <br />
there is a flash of joy.<br />
<br />
Breathing in, the world is renewed,<br />
is made new and then steadily ascends to a climax.<br />
<br />
Breathing in is like you wake up again.<br />
<br />
In the space of the moment<br />
before breathing out <br />
there is an opposite joy.<br />
<br />
Breathing out the world is released,<br />
let go of, there is a little sleep,<br />
a small o, death in miniature, <br />
a rest stop.<br />
<br />
The eternal dance between in and out<br />
twisted like snakes of time<br />
in the life of the breather,<br />
between breather and life.d scribehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08242682202760522439noreply@blogger.com0
