Sutra #63
Dreaming, dreaming, sleeping, awakening
Rhythms of darkness and light.
Day and night, night and day, wondering...
...Who am I Who AM I?
Who is morphing through this Ever-shifting flow?
Beloved, wake up!
Dance in your true body before time,
Shimmering energy without end.
Sanskrit:
kinchit jnatam dvaita-dayi
bahya alokah tamah punah
vishva adi bhairavam rupam
jnatva anata prakashabhrit
I have been playing with these sutras from the Vijnana bhairava Tantra ever since I was introduced to them during my yoga training. I have fallen in love with them and read them and people have told me that they really enjoy the way they make them feel.
These sutras are a conversation a dialogue between two lovers. It is beautiful and speaks to my heart.
Each sutra resonates with me differently each day. I leaf through the book and find a sutra that meets me where I am at the time.
I find that reading each sutra out loud and hearing the words in my own voice enables me to take in the energy and meaning of each sutra through all of my senses.
It's also been fascinating to read them two times at the beginning of a session and two times toward the end of a session (before or during Savasana).
People have commented that they hear the words more clearly after they have moved their bodies and/or been mindful of their breath in their sessions.
So, I've decided to post a sutra that resonates with me each day. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
If anything, I hope they are a positive part of your day as they have been mine.
Shanti!
