What rests beyond the "pose" of you?

🤷‍♀️❤️😳

.

Could we chew on that question?

.

What does this question even mean?

.

My personal enquiry is often around my interest to feel & sense Life….Feel its essence in its pure form, a form that rests beyond the format, beyond the formatted yoga poses and beyond all these «poses» I (have to) take or perform, subconsciously or not, in my life.

.

I keep wondering: who am I beyond these (formatted) poses? Who or what gets to decide or give authority to poses/formats? Is there exclusivity in such authority?

.

This type of questions tends to accompany me, in my quest for greater "liberation" or "freedom" for all. I know these are loaded words, which I choose and write here very carefully, as they mean different things to different people, in different contexts (self disclaimer, as my words in this text come from a very self aware privileged lens).

.

As I move through my own daily life, I cannot help than noticing the variety of formats (including in my beloved yoga world). In my yoga practice, I do feel at times overwhelmingly surrounded by a world or propositions of poses (be body or mind levels). Is that it? I always ask....

.

In this world of Truth telling, can we become a prisoner of all these poses, be physical or philosophical?

.

Where is the space for Truth experiencing?

.

Who I am truly?….How can I respond to this if only surrounded by poses and society postures? It gets tricky.

.

Beyond that yoga pose,

Beyond my habits on/out of my yoga,

Beyond the various societal conditionings,

Beyond my wounds,

Beyond my work,

Beyond what I think I am,

Beyond the yoga sacred texts I study,

Beyond my sadhana....

....What is resting beyond all of this?

.

No need for a revolution, and banish all these postures or poses we have in our life…What seems interesting is the awareness that we are these poses as much as we are not.

.

Oh, my loves, that is my forever enquiry. What is in the nest of Aliveness?

.

« Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. » Rainer Maria Rilke.

.

I take your advice seriously dear Rainer...as increasingly, I am loving the questions...and loving, what is, actually, beyond the question itself.

Lovingly, enquiring. Together, Always. 🌺🌟🫶
