SPANDA
The Pulsing
Recognising reality through direct encounter
~ A SATYA Gathering at Northern Light Yoga, Oslo ~
Even now, as you read and reference, resonate or resist, contract or create, doubt or decide, the real force pulses.
Where breath emerges, spanda.
Where sound emerges, spanda.
Where motion emerges, spanda.
In inhale and exhale, the undivided pulses.
In thought, spanda.
In word, spanda.
Spanda. Śakti pulsing as consciousness-power, patterning reality and how it is perceived and conducted.
The embodied recognition of the real force pulsing through experience reveals the synergy in SATYA between the metaphysics and mechanics of Tantra, Yoga, and Ayurveda.
