juste ceci
juste ceci… dans toute sa simplicité… accueillant ce qui est déjà… qui n’arrive pas…
qui ne part jamais… et qui est même obscurcit par la quête…
Ainsi, nous nous rencontrons dans ce paradoxe d’apparents enseignements, retraites, formations et rassemblement, pour célébrer et explorer cette présence innommable que nous sommes. Au départ, nous observons cette tendance à mettre l’accent sur la myriade de pratiques développées par la tradition du yoga, et à nous concentrer sur des concepts tels que « non-dualité », « véritable nature », « conscience » ou « investigation du soi ou des autres ».
Mais toute cette activité mène éventuellement à un relâchement. Et ce qui se dévoile dans ce lâcher prise est ce qui a toujours été là, avant même que ne débute la quête, durant son intensité et après sa cessation. La tâche se révèle finalement être celle de céder à ce qui est sans mouvement, et dans cette immobilité reconnaître juste ceci.
En s’abandonnant et en se déposant dans ce qui est à un tel point familier qu’il demeurait inaperçu au cours des pratiques de yoga du ressenti du corps et du souffle, du yoga nidra, et au cœur de tous ces dialogues, comme au cœur de la vie elle-même, nous nous retrouvons enfin tout simplement à plonger dans… juste ceci.
the recognition of our own heart
yoga méditatif
yoga de la voie sans voie / yoga du ressenti corporel / yoga du Cachemire.
Nommez-le tel que vous le voulez. Il s’agit d’une approche non-duelle du yoga proposant le mouvement tranquille, doux et non-volontaire comme un portail vers l’espace fondamental que nous sommes.
yoga nidra
Une technique méditative simple, centrée sur le corps, pratiquée tout en se reposant confortablement et qui invite à l’investigation de notre véritable nature.

meditation practices
guided meditation: listening
The practice slowly guides us from an alternation between listening to the particularities of the soundscape and attending to discrete body sensations, to pure, objectless listening.
yoga nidra: the thread
A short practice (22 min) during which we fully immerse ourselves in whatever is arising from moment to moment, feeling the thread of unchangingness woven through it all.
yoga nidra: the gravitational pull of love
Occasionally I receive requests to post a particular practice on the website for re-listening. This meditation, which followed a conversation on the Heartfelt Desire, one of the 10 steps of iRest Yoga Nidra, explores what it feels like to yield to the heart’s deepest longing, including any feelings of fear or resistance that may arise when we fully surrender to that which we love.
yoga nidra: and this too
This practice followed a conversation during which a number of participants shared their feelings of grief at the loss of loved ones. (Some poetic license was used in the recounting of the story from the Bhagavad Gita.)
