This morning I got all revved up, went to the gym, sweated like crazy, lifted heavy weights, came home and watched some hoop videos, and took notes of what I wanted to work on. I felt so organized! Then my hoop started flying and all I could do was Spunk. I was fascinated by the sensation of the hoop going in my outflow direction on my legs, seeing how long I could stay facing the same direction while maintaining hoop spin, seeing how much I could shake and shimmy my shoulders. Then I would push it back in my inflow for a bit, then back to outflow again and again, until I realized I had been doing this one exercise alone for 32 minutes. Since my legs were quite flushed, I changed it up. I played with vertical isolations, rocking back and forth and flipping the hoop on different sides so it magically changed direction and flow. 17 minutes later, I felt done so I stopped. Such an interesting practice! I saved the notes for next time.
Today was not a "bad ass" day...
there are days like that where the hoop just unfurls my body in such powerful and surprising ways. In contrast, today was sort of a "steady as she goes" day. Just hung with the process of moving it. I logged on to talk about on my blog but got sucked into Angelicious' blog which had a link to a series of 18 videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7qXLGaruOk).
It was nice, almost like an audiobook version of a book called, "Bringers of The Dawn", an item which I have had on my shelf unread for some time. What I love about these esoteric teachings is that they remind me that we are all connected at a deep level, and that we have the power to accelerate the evolution of our consciousness, and that there is a much bigger picture of life than we, with our earth-centric perceptions, recognize! It was a sweet reminder since I was so deep into my physical experience and had to go off to work in the business world shortly thereafter.
These teachings remind me that all of us who have been drawn to hooping are part of a family of light which is quickening together, accelerating our awareness and healing, letting go of whatever is slowing our vibration and anchoring positivity on the planet. At a deep level I sincerely believe we are all working towards the same goal, on divine assignment, and that even those who harbor fear-based thoughts or emotions towards other hoopers are all dear, loved, soul family members. We are all here to help anchor a new vibration of joy on the planet! We are all here to help each other shine brighter! What a lovely gift we have all been given. I'm determined to enjoy every precious moment of it.
I wake up to this awareness for hours, days, sometimes weeks at a time, then I fall asleep again, lulled into the monotony of deadlines, work, classes, performances, running a business. There are moments of awareness, moments of forgetfulness, moments of ego, moments of one-ness, moments of fear, moments of love, and back and forth. What a journey this incarnation is!
