Where Pleasure Lives

WHERE PLEASURE LIVES

Just now,

Letting go

of mental review and prediction,

or even naming;

and simply sensing,

or rather aware-ing.

Even the witness disappears,

and there is only the experiencer.

This is the place where pleasure lives.

The mourning doves come

in these moments.

They fly in and directly approach me.

Time disappears,

Ambition disappears.

Needs disappear.

This open ended satisfaction

and pleasure-

Its Heart Centered-

100% open;

radiating, receiving,

being, beaming,

Blissing.

Blissing is a verb!

This is the ultimate nourishment.

Why would I trade it for less?

It is free of effort, free of trying.

Free of directing, free of reaching.

It is having.

I can have it all. I can give it all. I can be it all.

Love will hold it all.

Trust, surrender, trust, surrender, trust, surrender.

If it's meant to happen, it will.

And I will know.

Put your arms around me baby,

put your arms around me baby.

Put your arms around me baby.

We don't have to open to the flow-

Simply refrain from impeding it.

Letting go of worry, of fear, of shortage.

If you get quiet enough,

you will know,

you are eternal.

Life is eternal.

That moment of pleasure;

when we sink down into a warm bath?

That can be extended!

It can be invited.

It can be cultivated.

It's not situationally dependent.

It can be activated through attention.

It is activated through attention.

Focus, feel, flow.

Pouring in, pouring out,

Pouring through.

It is vast!

Yet the porthole is narrow.

But once you know the way,

it's merely a heartbeat away.

I don't know anyone else's experience.

I'm not meant to.

I attune to me,

and have access to you,

if I want to.

Cannabis sends me to this place.

But I don't need cannabis anymore.

Since now, at last, I'm safe.

Safe with me.

Safe here. Safe now.

Wait! - there's only here and now!

Safe always.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms,

Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

Snuggling into warmth, and holding, and protection.

This is where I truly live;

here, with me.

Being Embraced

A Description of Contact Improvisation Dance Practice: Achieving inner stillness through attention to, and acute observation of our impulses; our bodily experience. Meeting at the point of touch and exploring, through mutual responsiveness, what movement wants to unfold from an authentic, neutral space Curiously exploring that meeting, that point, that present moment, while maintaining full, unconditional presence. Saying, “YES!” in response to the other, without diminishing our self; without compromising our own authenticity. Surrendering to process, letting go of judgment, of intention, of willfulness. Experiencing a spaciousness that allows full acceptance self and other. As we are. Mutually supporting what is happening. And when there are ‘disconnects’, stopping and waiting. Waiting for that full presence to come into each of us again; for that felt sense of, “Ah yes, you are here, I am here, we meet here.” And in agreement, continuing. Joined, yet separate and individual. Connecti...

Where is my Support?

When I am connecting to Source Every thing is my support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I think you are being self-centered I have left my center. Nothing can support me when I've left my center. Every thing and everyone is my teacher. Every encounter is perfectly reciprocal. When I lose connection with me I lose connection with you, I feel as if you have left me. But I have left me. When I am Being You are able to meet me I am able to meet you We are One. The ego is terrified of abandonment, of shortage, of our True Nature. It contracts, it runs, it thinks, it calculates, it worries, it accuses, it blames it attacks, it is a black hole that sucks........ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ego thinks, Source Acts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Support is felt when we know ourselves as Source And when we know everyone and everything as Source. There is nothing t...

Are you exhausting yourself by how you relate with others?

Do you identify yourself as someone who acts co-dependently, as a caretaker, or people pleaser? Do you find that you adjust your ideas Your behavior, your feelings, your actions, your thoughts based on how someone else might react? Do you have trouble knowing what you really want? Do you often feel powerless Or oppressed? Do you have trouble standing up for your needs? Is it hard for you to find your own voice especially in interpersonal relationships? As I was holding a quiet state of presence with a client recently while we were silently connecting through eye contact alone, she was able to notice that her mental processes were working overtime. Reflecting what I perceived in her energy I said, "Its exhausting." And she had the insight that, during this intimate moment between us, when she could have been simply and deeply relaxing into receiving herself, and receiving my embracing attention, instead her mind was frantically working,. It was obsessively searching ...
