The Mind's Relationship with the Heart/Hara

So the practice is to connect with the heart, the hara,  the ground, or the root chakra. (or somewhere else:-))   But its not like using the mind/brain to travel down to different regions and start thinking from them.  That does not promote a harmonious connection.  The mind can disassemble and literally become a more watery/airy creature to explore/connect with these regions.  Consciousness can transform into heart space and start to vibrate as heart space, or hara space, or root space.  Then after you start vibrating and accepting the vibrations at these levels. the mind/consciousness can drop away and literally become these regions.  Or the spirits of these spaces.

You can play with the same dynamics of inner vs. outer spaces as well.  Great fun will ensue.

I feel that becoming in harmony with all this will lead to all sort of insights into life, the universe, and everything.

Good luck and have a blessed weekend.

We are already always Awakened

 We are always awakened, all the time.  And even when a million teachers crop up and try to tell us otherwise, that we need to do something, follow this or that path, read their book, try to sell you something, even this is just the endless chatter and laughter of awakening.

Even death is awakening, but I suspect then it just becomes a beautiful whisper.

Even television and movies are awakening, when we are drawn into ever more complex and absorbing realities, forgetting our own, even that forgetting is the great awakening.  

Perhaps that is the greatest honor:  that you forget yourself, that you can travel somewhere else with your mind through somebody else's created images through their imagination.  What mischief!  What a Goddamn blessing:-).
