Soul Motion: Movement Meditation
Soul Motion encourages seeing with the mystic's heart and eyes, a way of penetrating to the invisible core to things; stillness in motion, motion in stillness; the silent song. Using embodied presence and breath awareness to focus attention and hone space, students learn to become increasingly conscious of their whole being, whether in motion or stillness.

Each time I dance rigid ego mind in place of flowing movement moment, I defer the life that is living through this body.

I dance formula instead of freedom. I dance history and miss the mystery that surrounds. I dance story and become unavailable to surprise.

The everyday dance that courses through these living cells is a potent pulse in an infinite array of shifting life rhythm.

Life moves our way from all directions and calls to us with varying voices.

This enduring song of the living world is our accompaniment to the everyday dance. It provides clear cadence and pacing for all steps taken.

Remain still and experience the soul in motion.

Our dance of the soul knows the ways we direct the choreography of life.

Our dance of the soul pauses and listens to the silent song, which shouts the everyday miracle.

Our dance of the soul moves as a spiraling center within a still axis in all directions, simultaneously.

Our dance of the soul discerns the real from the Memorex moment.

The dance hall for the everyday dance is situated within every person we meet in common union. It is singing the family and workplace. Its rhythm beat strums the moment of this miraculous, mysterious living world.

Dance as the infinite, eternal, yes.

Appear often in blank uniforms devoid of labels and trust the call of the soul.
