Precious days to recharge and recover the peace and vital stillness
in your body/mind system oriented on comfort and ease.

Sahaj means easy and natural, Yoga means union of the body, mind and spirit. Stretching is a way of consciously letting go of tensions and creating more space on the inside.

Bringing consciousness into the body empowers it.
Sensing the body creates clarity and perception and by exploring embodied
anatomy of your own body systems, tissues and cells, such as cells, membranes and fluids, organs, bones, and muscle tissue as well as the ancient knowing of a fluid endocrine and nervous system you inhabit and re-establish the bodies
innate resources .

To consciously recognize the intrinsic supports within the body, we need to
move.  This is our kinesthetic sense .  Our body is made to move, otherwise we
would have inbuilt cushions attached to our bums so we could sit all day and
there would be wheels on our feet so we could move faster.

Embodiment is an experiential learning process which happens in the mind and
body and the experience is integrated at a cellular level.
Initiating yoga stretches from a  conscious and embodied way supports you to be present to your inner state of being, rather than making an effort concerned
about results of the yoga stretches .You will be able to recognize what can be
done directly and immediately to increase freedom of movement ,breath, to renew grounding, alignment and pulsation.

Whether you are experienced in yoga stretching or not this practice will
nourish, support and enhance your connection to the body and the consciousness
within.  Exploring this through embodied anatomy, visualizing and the felt-sense you affect the whole of you: body, mind, psychology and spirit.

One participant explained the bodily perception she discovered in Sahaj Yoga
Stretching , " I am a person who had an idea that I already knew the body. I am
a doctor . I also did groups where I learnt about the body through emotions and
then I learnt about it through energy. Here ,though, what was new and wonderful was that I experienced and learnt about the body directly through the body."

By connecting with the body in a loving, gentle and friendly way the practice is
oriented on re-establishing a vital, intimate and safe perception of the body
.Bringing consciousness into the body empowers it and the mysterious life source within.

“Love your body and you will feel relaxation such as you have never felt before.
Love is relaxing. When there is love there is relaxation, you care about the
body. To be in love with the body is the first step toward spirituality.”
Osho

In the Heart Sutra,Avalokitesvara tells Shariputra the following :
"Listen Shariputra,
Form is emptiness,emptiness is form;
Form does not differ from emptiness,
Emptiness does not differ from form..
All dharmas are marked with emptiness;
They are neither produced nor destroyed..
Neither increasing nor decreasing."

In this understanding,emptiness is the inherent ground from which all form unfolds.All dharmas,that is all truths and all things,have emptiness as their root.
Osho
