Corners of The Eyes

"Soften the corners if your eyes" has been my most frequent instruction for these past several days of the Summer Morning Intensive. Soften the corners of your eyes. Open to Grace. Be permeable to Radiance.

Maybe some of the participants would argue that my most frequent instruction has been "engage your adductors" - fire up your upper inner thighs. They might be right. But I like to contemplate "soften the corners of your eyes" more than I like to ponder engaging my adductors.

Today we added in a lot of awarness of softening through the region of the kidneys and moving from the back body. It never fails to surprise me how deep a sense of rest and refuge comes from that simple remembrance. It is such an accessible way to Source oneself - or to re-Source oneself. I imagine more of that theme will be coming through in the days ahead.

Terri asked me to send out a re-cap of the "61 points" practice we have been doing before Savasana. Here is a good link: http://www.swamij.com/online61.htm
When I lead the "61 points" I sometimes choose to have people come back to the Heart Center and dwell there a bit, rather than finish at the third eye.
