Embodied Self-Inquiry

Right now, I am curious, what does it feel like to allow awareness to fall into the feet and feel the point of contact with the ground supporting them? That’s right, feel the support that is here for you always. And I am wondering, can you feel the alive presence inside your feet? What would it be like to feel this alive presence throughout the whole body?

In this open field of alive presence, what may be noticed - tension, vibration, heat or coolness, perhaps a sense of numbness or even joy? Is it possible to feel the spaciousness around and inside everything arising in this moment? As you open to what is here, without needing to fix or change anything - what is effortlessly discovered, embraced, metabolized?

Fully absorbed, fully present, now.  What does it feel like for awareness to fall so deeply inside that all sense of separation dissolves? No one aware, nothing to be aware of. A sense of deep absorption as the silent, pure presence of this moment.

Everything is welcome - thought streams, waves of emotional energy, nervous system reactivity, body sensations. All a call to drop more deeply within - into the silence within all streams, all waves, all reactions, all sensations. A call to rest.

This is the doorway to freedom that can never end. This is the offering of Ramana Maharshi’s teachings as they came to me through Gangaji.

Fear is about survival. When you drop under that and experience the fear without trying to change it, just letting it be, then it becomes still. When you open your heart to fear, rather than trying to fight it or deny it or even overcome it, then you find it is just energy. ~Gangaji
