I'll repeat that ONE MORE TIME: Our biology - our innate nature - needs to express. Holding in gas, our digestion, our urine, our bowel movements, our sneezes, our coughs --- all that stuff that our body needs to do to regulate and tick along smoothly and nicely -- they are meant to happen without apology, shame, and blame. When one can start working with these natural human expressions, the other parts of us start to function a little easier.

Svadhistana is the chakra related to sexual energies, and Anahata, the chakra related to universal love. In the yogic tradition, sexual energies are recogniz...ed as sacred through transfiguration and sublimation. They are redirected and find their way upwards. Touching the heart, the flow of energy fuels Anahata; love, sacredness and devotion awaken in our soul. On the spiritual journey, it becomes important to redirect the energies within us towards a deeper purpose, and let them find their resolution in the essence of our being - the truth of stillness and love. In this process, the harmony between Svadhistana and Anahata is achieved. Sexual energies are raised into the heart, raising us with them, purifying our intentions and allowing love to look out through our eyes, awake and peaceful. See more

Caeri Bertrand. Author Dear Sangha, there is word our teacher Thich Nhat Hanh has stopped eating. There are a number of his monks traveling to him now in Viet...nam to be in his presence. Thay has been incredibly strong and vibrant following his stroke in 2014 and he will mark 94 years on October 11. A report from Plum Village on Sept 18th stated his health has been declining despite the best of care. Please join me and the other admins and mods of this group in meditation for Thay. Plum Village has requested we sit or walk for Thay and offer forgiveness to others as a way to continue Thay's energy of peace. If we can sit and generate compassion for others and forgiveness we increase the being and the legacy of Thay. Thay taught us the next Buddha may be the sangha. I believe your mindful thoughts and actions now for him will bring that closer and help him to touch more lives than ever as he ends this incarnation. May Thay be peaceful now in his root temple and feel the love and gratitude from all over the world. See more
