MOVE OR GET OUT OF THE WAY

Posted By meg coyle irsay |

Essentially, all experience is Essence, arriving in the body of form and circumstance. The action of all form is relatively faithful (humble and responsive) or fearful (prejudice and reactive) according to the particular impulses that are dominating our system. The essential difference between the two (fear and faith) is the relationship with the breath. Fear resists the breath, in attempt to escape reality. Fear generates constriction in the tissue by holding the breath away from those tissues. Faith accepts reality and allows the breath to direct at (free) will. We are either, allowing the breath and moving in response to life, or we are resisting the breath and resisting reality. Anything in resistance to reality is unsustainable. Reality will not be denied.

SOMETIMES GROWTH IS PAINFUL

Posted By meg coyle irsay |

How do we recognize our humanness and rejoice in our capacity to become more consciously articulate about what motivates us, more self aware about how our conditioning influences us, and more accurate and self responsible about the moment to moment choices we are making?

The broadest response I have to the challenges of cultivating this capacity is to slow down and listen. The best I can be is this life is more aware. At mid life I find I am more aware of the burning smell from riding the brakes against my own authenticity. And there is always work to do. Waking up is my life’s work. I wish is to do this work calmly without cursing my lessons or teachers. I am glad to be alive and sometimes growth is really painful.

TRUSTING DEATH

Posted By meg coyle irsay |

Learning to Trust

who We are in truth,

in ease,

in peace, and gentle confidence

certainly entails learning to allow

who we believe we are,

to die,

and fall away.

IDENTITY OF SERVICE

Posted By meg coyle irsay |

The Identity of my Service in the world is gestating in the womb of the existential question “Who am I”? My life is a journey into the gestation process of the Tai Chi between my infinite being and my embodied experience. My service is to speak of this process in plain and constructive terms, with actions that are clear and grounded in essential gravity and balance. My experience of this process and my satisfaction moment to moment is relative to my capacity to understand and take consciousness responsibility for an intention directed at the essence of life and the growing acceptance of the journey into the tai chi of the differenciated and integrated Self, the individual and universal identity.
