Reflecting on Holistic Practice

by Elena Ray

Body is earth, formed from earth elements. We are nature, unfathomable, and have the potential to express all that that is. In the dual pulse of receiving and releasing, our breath embodies the basic truth of all life. Life is movement and constant change. Unimpeded movement becomes a dynamic stillness which sustains a holistic creativity perfectly exemplified in the vitality of undisturbed wilderness.

Mind is intelligence; what we are, and knowable to us in the flow of information coming from all that exists. An overactive grasping to what is inadvertently channels our creative energy into fixed mind states. The various practices of meditation have been developed to address this dilemma of self determination and restore us to our true flowing state of source.

Spirit is energy, life force, the mystery. Through the impossible act of completely defining it, we have, over the course of civilization, built a labyrinth of sacred doors to the intimate knowing of the incomprehensible.
