To grow our spiritual tree, we need solid roots to ground us into the nurturing of present experience. As we attune with bodily sensation and organic awareness, we meet the vast expanse of the mind from a place of allowance and receptivity. The practice of Restorative Yoga invites us into moments of stillness, holding space for all aspects of experience while neutralizing reactivity. Though we often emphasize the rising of Kundalini Shakti, the maternal qualities of the tantra goddesses ask us to consider first diving into the primordial root of knowledge, right at the base of our spinal tree. It is arriving at the root where we activate Ambhika Shakti or the form of knowledge that flows directly from the Goddess without contradiction. Connecting fully to the natural pulsation of universal spanda-without labeling or judging-we arrive home together at the web experience, in each and every moment.
