A current of love-energy
One of my (many) favourite quotes is from the Vijnana bhairava tantra. Specifically the translation by Lorin Roche.
One of the reasons I have shared this quote recently is that we have been connecting to our central channel.
Not just our physical spine or spinal cord. But also what we can perceive as the Sushumna nadi, or channel. The energetic channel associated with the spine or perhaps simply an energy through the centre of our being.
It is also a way for us to notice where we are in our energy and in our body.
How are your feet, pelvis, ribcage and head aligned?
How are your grounding, your root, (energetic) heart and vision connected?
Are we grounded or heavy?
Are we light, uplifted or ungrounded and spaced out?
Are we moving from a heart of compassion and love - or of resentment or non-awareness?
When we connect to our body we also connect to our energy, our breath, our emotions and mental state.
And I love that we can move in the this current “of love-energy that flows between Earth below and the Sun above”.
There is a current of love-energy that flows
between Earth below and the Sun above.The central channel of the spine is the riverbed.
The streaming is as delicate and powerful
as the tingling touch of lovers.Entering there,
radiance arches between the above and the below.The whole attention resting in the nerve,
tingling delicately in the center of the spinal column,
tracing that current between earth and sun,
become magnetism relating all the worlds.
