00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:15.039
So as we get settled in, one of my favorite parts of the day.
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:27.440
A very warm welcome to an hour of presence practice.
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:34.079
And this is actually the sixth and final.
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:57.280
Well, there is no, there is no final, but this is the the sixth and for the series will be the final of using this practice where we very immediately touch in on these qualities of nature's flow that we're part of.
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.759
And then we've been going on adventures into Qigong.
00:01:05.920 --> 00:02:04.079
Including adventures with a sense of qi down, even a little bit of the circulation practice, even a bit of Taoist alchemy last time, where we got to see that there's this fullness of being, Jing Chi Chan, I Chi Jing, that is this continuous loop that experientially, quite magically in a way, gives us this experience of both feeling and doing as a human being that is part of all the flow of nature.
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:20.400
And today we will be in a way continuing furthering that adventure, and in a way, letting it be very simple.
00:02:22.319 --> 00:03:32.319
And so especially the whole flow quality, everything just together, unfolding all together, body, chi, awareness, everything all together at once, and so we might see the practice as kind of unpacking the richness of all of this, and then relaxing into the integrity of it's simply all together, and it's already going on for me to be speaking, for me to make a gesture with my hand, for me to click the mouse button and fix my tech at the beginning.
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:59.520
All of that is coming from this integrity of this loop that includes both feeling and doing from the fullness of our being that has these qualities of presence, especially the whole flow.
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:30.079
See if letting it be simple in a way can even further enrich our access and experience of the fullness of our being.
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:53.679
Where our body weight lays down to the support of the ground.
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:16.799
From your head to your shoulders, down your spine, including your arms, all the way to where your body makes contact with the ground.
00:09:40.320 --> 00:10:51.840
And vice versa than just staying right in that place of mutual contact body and ground meeting, ground and body meeting that yin and yang of lay down and support that is one seamless whole event of interaction and connection.
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:36.480
Perhaps a bit of going towards that part of our body like an object.
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:51.759
And what would it be like to first feel like you can hang out at the back of your head?
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:24.399
Hanging out at the back of your head, and taking in seat, hands, shoulders, that mutual, contactful, flowing connection happening in all those places.
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:03.679
And in the middle of us.
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:12.159
And so what would it be like to feel like you're there?
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.440
You're there in the center of your body.
00:13:23.039 --> 00:16:07.840
And from there feeling the seat, the hands, the shoulders all at once, and wherever you may feel yourself in this moment, which may be distributed throughout your experience, or more in one place or another, just letting ourselves feel seat, hands and shoulders and the contactful mutual flow that unfolds there moment by moment, and what would it be like to allow that feeling to linger even as we begin to include the feeling of the flow of air at our nose flowing in flowing out.
00:16:19.200 --> 00:17:09.200
And that gentle open inquiry of what's the finest flow I can feel and can use the alternate nostril noticing pattern to allow ourselves to feel the soothingness of this fine free flow of air.
00:19:54.319 --> 00:20:41.119
That can help us feel our body in a fresh way and help us experientially find that even our body is this spectrum that includes such fine flows of messages, signals, awareness.
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:28.880
Can itself in a way dissolve into these ever finer flows if we allow ourselves to feel that richness.
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:59.200
So taking a few more breaths and just letting ourselves become familiar with this open attitude of not limiting the freedom of flow of air.
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:06.319
In blowing out.
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:36.319
And then we go into our next interval of practice and letting that attitude linger.
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:48.079
And as a reminder on each in-breath, we feel the flow of air come down inside us.
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:58.079
And then on the outbreath, feeling the cascade of the physical body.
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:04.079
A downward cascade as the breath leaves us.
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.720
Starting with the front body.
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:58.000
And then feeling the 3D surface of our ribs, our belly, our back, all rippling in fine wave-like movement as the air leaves us.
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:42.400
And the fine free flow of our body, our three D body all gently cascades in a wave down.
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:35.039
As a little bit like that waterfall of everything laying down all the way to our seat.
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:10.640
All gently undulating with the breath and laying down.
00:27:49.279 --> 00:28:05.680
All interconnected in this fine free flow of one flowing all together body.
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:48.400
As any particular practice, any scanning of the body, any trying to place our attention in any particular place.
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:59.039
And for a few moments nothing to manage.
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:07.279
Nothing to manipulate or make any different.
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:46.720
Slightly elongating the length of your thumbs.
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:51.359
Feeling to the very tip of the thumbs.
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:02.400
And then continuing with the next breath and the next finger.
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:53.440
To be this reminder of between any two points along that length, there's that practically infinite free and mutual flow of the parts and particles making up our fingers.
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:41.440
Staying open.
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:59.759
Simply not blocking out the fullness of being that we call our fingers.
00:34:46.960 --> 00:35:05.599
As if we're filling the volume of that finger with fine, free flow of nature.
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:08.159
Since that's what it is.
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:24.079
So continuing breath by breath, finger by finger, and now we're filling the 3D volume of that finger.
00:35:29.679 --> 00:36:03.679
May even feel as though the breath is coming in and filling the finger with a fineness of flow that fills every nook and every cranny of our fingers.
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:10.079
Every little ridge.
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.280
What does happen to those other fingers?
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:18.639
Notice if even with our sense of the breath and the easefulness, we may still feel a bit like we're peering down at our fingers.
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:31.760
That fully, that richly, that completely.
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:43.199
Spain them becoming smaller until there's that one moment that they touch and feeling the touch of our fingers.
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:55.599
And gently releasing that.
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:05.360
Putting more space between those two fingers.
00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:16.079
And now on an outbreath, moving the fingers with an intention for them to touch, doing.
00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:57.199
They touch, and we breathe in the feeling of them touching and let them open and repeating in the cycles of doing touch, breathing in the feeling, reset.
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:09.519
And letting ourselves feel the integrity of that physical loop that our fingers are making.
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:05.360
Kind of inner loop to aspects of our being.
00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:13.039
The words don't really matter.
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:45.840
In each moment, that includes while feeling doing.
00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:15.360
So putting a bit of space in between our thumb and pointer finger once again.
00:48:18.480 --> 00:48:39.679
And as we draw them close while feeling doing as they touch while feeling doing as they reset while feeling doing.
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:53.840
And not only stand, but begin to move into the doing that is so much of our life.
00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:10.960
Because by letting it be simple, we give ourselves a chance to bring more of this richness.
00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:16.880
To allow more of this richness to linger.
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:21.519
Even in our daily living.
00:53:35.440 --> 00:53:49.360
How the light around you is not so different from the signals radiating from your fingers.
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:06.239
The feeling fills the space of our body.
00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:13.519
Feeling of perception even fills the space of the whole room.
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:47.760
And it's with that feeling that we can then respond and do something amazing like coming to stand touching another object in our room.
00:54:52.480 --> 00:56:43.119
While feeling doing coming into our Uji stance while feeling doing beginning our embracing Qigong to perceive to form the intention of raising our arms and letting them calm down the middle, all within the integrity of our own while feeling doing loop.
00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:35.360
Slightly spreading the fingers, closing the eyes if it helps.
00:57:40.239 --> 00:58:13.519
And remembering not what we usually feel as our fingers, but what we may have been feeling in our fingers when we allowed ourselves to feel their practically infinite fineness, filling their 3D volume and integrity of this wholeness of interbeing.
00:58:47.920 --> 00:59:02.960
To keep what is always there, their vibrancy, their aliveness, their presence, the qualities of flow that are always theirs.
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:20.079
While feeling that doing as we begin to flow into the embracing qi gong once again.
00:59:34.480 --> 01:00:20.880
But perhaps we could even let each finger, each part and particle of our fingers feel that they get to come along for the ride of this movement, enhanced rather than dimmed while feeling doing more.
01:03:01.760 --> 01:03:06.800
And just going through the motions like you're cleaning it.
01:03:25.199 --> 01:04:36.239
Try it some different ways, slower, faster, and while feeling doing while feeling doing a simple reminder phrase that can encompass the many aspects of the adventures we've been on here as we've come to more include the signals within, and even the fine, free, mutual flow, whole flow of awareness itself.
01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:45.280
All flowing all together, feeling, doing.
01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:24.559
Adventuring together with me, with us, with this sense of our practice, not ever really coming to a close and not even really being a practice.
01:06:25.280 --> 01:06:57.360
Since we are letting ourselves giving ourselves a chance to simply feel more of the fullness of our being that is unconditional, that does not depend on any level of our trying or our doing.
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:15.039
So as we get settled in, one of my favorite parts of the day.
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:27.440
A very warm welcome to an hour of presence practice.
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:34.079
And this is actually the sixth and final.
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:57.280
Well, there is no, there is no final, but this is the the sixth and for the series will be the final of using this practice where we very immediately touch in on these qualities of nature's flow that we're part of.
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.759
And then we've been going on adventures into Qigong.
00:01:05.920 --> 00:02:04.079
Including adventures with a sense of qi down, even a little bit of the circulation practice, even a bit of Taoist alchemy last time, where we got to see that there's this fullness of being, Jing Chi Chan, I Chi Jing, that is this continuous loop that experientially, quite magically in a way, gives us this experience of both feeling and doing as a human being that is part of all the flow of nature.
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:20.400
And today we will be in a way continuing furthering that adventure, and in a way, letting it be very simple.
00:02:22.319 --> 00:03:32.319
And so especially the whole flow quality, everything just together, unfolding all together, body, chi, awareness, everything all together at once, and so we might see the practice as kind of unpacking the richness of all of this, and then relaxing into the integrity of it's simply all together, and it's already going on for me to be speaking, for me to make a gesture with my hand, for me to click the mouse button and fix my tech at the beginning.
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:59.520
All of that is coming from this integrity of this loop that includes both feeling and doing from the fullness of our being that has these qualities of presence, especially the whole flow.
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:30.079
See if letting it be simple in a way can even further enrich our access and experience of the fullness of our being.
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:53.679
Where our body weight lays down to the support of the ground.
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:16.799
From your head to your shoulders, down your spine, including your arms, all the way to where your body makes contact with the ground.
00:09:40.320 --> 00:10:51.840
And vice versa than just staying right in that place of mutual contact body and ground meeting, ground and body meeting that yin and yang of lay down and support that is one seamless whole event of interaction and connection.
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:36.480
Perhaps a bit of going towards that part of our body like an object.
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:51.759
And what would it be like to first feel like you can hang out at the back of your head?
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:24.399
Hanging out at the back of your head, and taking in seat, hands, shoulders, that mutual, contactful, flowing connection happening in all those places.
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:03.679
And in the middle of us.
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:12.159
And so what would it be like to feel like you're there?
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.440
You're there in the center of your body.
00:13:23.039 --> 00:16:07.840
And from there feeling the seat, the hands, the shoulders all at once, and wherever you may feel yourself in this moment, which may be distributed throughout your experience, or more in one place or another, just letting ourselves feel seat, hands and shoulders and the contactful mutual flow that unfolds there moment by moment, and what would it be like to allow that feeling to linger even as we begin to include the feeling of the flow of air at our nose flowing in flowing out.
00:16:19.200 --> 00:17:09.200
And that gentle open inquiry of what's the finest flow I can feel and can use the alternate nostril noticing pattern to allow ourselves to feel the soothingness of this fine free flow of air.
00:19:54.319 --> 00:20:41.119
That can help us feel our body in a fresh way and help us experientially find that even our body is this spectrum that includes such fine flows of messages, signals, awareness.
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:28.880
Can itself in a way dissolve into these ever finer flows if we allow ourselves to feel that richness.
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:59.200
So taking a few more breaths and just letting ourselves become familiar with this open attitude of not limiting the freedom of flow of air.
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:06.319
In blowing out.
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:36.319
And then we go into our next interval of practice and letting that attitude linger.
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:48.079
And as a reminder on each in-breath, we feel the flow of air come down inside us.
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:58.079
And then on the outbreath, feeling the cascade of the physical body.
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:04.079
A downward cascade as the breath leaves us.
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.720
Starting with the front body.
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:58.000
And then feeling the 3D surface of our ribs, our belly, our back, all rippling in fine wave-like movement as the air leaves us.
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:42.400
And the fine free flow of our body, our three D body all gently cascades in a wave down.
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:35.039
As a little bit like that waterfall of everything laying down all the way to our seat.
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:10.640
All gently undulating with the breath and laying down.
00:27:49.279 --> 00:28:05.680
All interconnected in this fine free flow of one flowing all together body.
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:48.400
As any particular practice, any scanning of the body, any trying to place our attention in any particular place.
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:59.039
And for a few moments nothing to manage.
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:07.279
Nothing to manipulate or make any different.
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:46.720
Slightly elongating the length of your thumbs.
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:51.359
Feeling to the very tip of the thumbs.
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:02.400
And then continuing with the next breath and the next finger.
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:53.440
To be this reminder of between any two points along that length, there's that practically infinite free and mutual flow of the parts and particles making up our fingers.

00:34:46.960 --> 00:35:05.599
As if we're filling the volume of that finger with fine, free flow of nature.
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:08.159
Since that's what it is.
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:24.079
So continuing breath by breath, finger by finger, and now we're filling the 3D volume of that finger.
00:35:29.679 --> 00:36:03.679
May even feel as though the breath is coming in and filling the finger with a fineness of flow that fills every nook and every cranny of our fingers.
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:10.079
Every little ridge.
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.280
What does happen to those other fingers?
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:18.639
Notice if even with our sense of the breath and the easefulness, we may still feel a bit like we're peering down at our fingers.
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:31.760
That fully, that richly, that completely.
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:43.199
Spain them becoming smaller until there's that one moment that they touch and feeling the touch of our fingers.
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:55.599
And gently releasing that.
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:05.360
Putting more space between those two fingers.
00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:16.079
And now on an outbreath, moving the fingers with an intention for them to touch, doing.
00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:57.199
They touch, and we breathe in the feeling of them touching and let them open and repeating in the cycles of doing touch, breathing in the feeling, reset.
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:09.519
And letting ourselves feel the integrity of that physical loop that our fingers are making.
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:05.360
Kind of inner loop to aspects of our being.
00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:13.039
The words don't really matter.
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:45.840
In each moment, that includes while feeling doing.
00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:15.360
So putting a bit of space in between our thumb and pointer finger once again.
00:48:18.480 --> 00:48:39.679
And as we draw them close while feeling doing as they touch while feeling doing as they reset while feeling doing.
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:53.840
And not only stand, but begin to move into the doing that is so much of our life.

00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:16.880
To allow more of this richness to linger.
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:21.519
Even in our daily living.
00:53:35.440 --> 00:53:49.360
How the light around you is not so different from the signals radiating from your fingers.
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:06.239
The feeling fills the space of our body.
00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:13.519
Feeling of perception even fills the space of the whole room.
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:47.760
And it's with that feeling that we can then respond and do something amazing like coming to stand touching another object in our room.
00:54:52.480 --> 00:56:43.119
While feeling doing coming into our Uji stance while feeling doing beginning our embracing Qigong to perceive to form the intention of raising our arms and letting them calm down the middle, all within the integrity of our own while feeling doing loop.
00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:35.360
Slightly spreading the fingers, closing the eyes if it helps.
00:57:40.239 --> 00:58:13.519
And remembering not what we usually feel as our fingers, but what we may have been feeling in our fingers when we allowed ourselves to feel their practically infinite fineness, filling their 3D volume and integrity of this wholeness of interbeing.
00:58:47.920 --> 00:59:02.960
To keep what is always there, their vibrancy, their aliveness, their presence, the qualities of flow that are always theirs.
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:20.079
While feeling that doing as we begin to flow into the embracing qi gong once again.
00:59:34.480 --> 01:00:20.880
But perhaps we could even let each finger, each part and particle of our fingers feel that they get to come along for the ride of this movement, enhanced rather than dimmed while feeling doing more.
01:03:01.760 --> 01:03:06.800
And just going through the motions like you're cleaning it.
01:03:25.199 --> 01:04:36.239
Try it some different ways, slower, faster, and while feeling doing while feeling doing a simple reminder phrase that can encompass the many aspects of the adventures we've been on here as we've come to more include the signals within, and even the fine, free, mutual flow, whole flow of awareness itself.
01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:45.280
All flowing all together, feeling, doing.
01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:24.559
Adventuring together with me, with us, with this sense of our practice, not ever really coming to a close and not even really being a practice.
01:06:25.280 --> 01:06:57.360
Since we are letting ourselves giving ourselves a chance to simply feel more of the fullness of our being that is unconditional, that does not depend on any level of our trying or our doing.
