Embodiment

John O’Donohue, the wonderful, wild Irish poet, once wrote:

“We need to come home to the temple of our senses.

Our bodies know that they belong…

it is our minds that make us homeless.”

& 

''Embodiment

is a practice of deepening

our connection

to the present moment

and finding peace

within our own skin.''

Toni Bernhard

''The rich
will make temples for Siva.
What shall I,
a poor man,
do?

My legs are pillars,
the body the shrine,
the head a cupola
of gold.

Listen, O lord of the meeting rivers,
things standing shall fall,
but the moving ever shall stay.''


From Basavanna, 820 B.C.
