Mi tierra me llamó, mi corazón se levantó

 

mi tierra me llamó con su latido
mis pies y alas se movilizaron con su voz
mi intuición me dio una sospecha
mi corazón levantó vuelo y se arriesgó
ahora entiendo, mi tierra quiere que deje el temor atrás

de quién soy, de quién puedo ser,
dejarla guiarme, que ella tiene lo mejor planeado para mi
sin detenerme en el miedo de los demás
por que no hay nada que salvar, nada que curar en otros
es el viaje de nosotros mismos que nos toca vivir
aunque cueste
aunque duela
aunque por primera vez los haga sentir
y a nosotros, permitirnos ser quien vinimos a ser
sin juzgar, sin reprimir

si dejándolo fluir

 

 

 

Sabiduría de tortuga/ Turtle wisdom

La tortuga me enseña el silencio
me dijo que tomarse su tiempo es lo mejor que le pasó en la vida
me contó que sus arrugas están llenas de sabiduría
me dejó tocar su caparazón lleno de historias y rezos para otra gente
me dio todo el tiempo del mundo para embellecerla
no tengo muchas palabras
solo el silencio que me transmitió
y por eso acá termino
de corazón

The turtle teaches me silence
she told me that taking her time to do things was the best that happened in her life
she told me that her wrinkles are full of wisdom
she let me touch her shell filled with stories and prayers for other people
she gave me all the time in the world to embelish her
I don’ have to many words
just the silence she passed on to me
that is why I conclude here
from my heart.

El regalo de la Kundalini

Los colores del cielo brillan
los sonidos se refinan
la claridad se transparenta
la divinidad envuelve tu aura
la respiración se profundiza y alimenta tus raíces subterráneas
el centro de la tierra te da consejos
las estrellas te dan vuelo
tu conciencia se refina
tu compasión se contagia
tus miedos se vuelven aliados
los enemigos te abrazan
tu mente se fortalece y flexiona
tu cuerpo se ablanda
tus maestros son las moléculas de la vida
tu amor se purifica
tu ADN se reorganiza
tus juzgamientos te dan cátedra de desarraigo
es tal el regalo que la Kundalini te da, amiga.

Part II: Argentinean and starting to dance tango in New York?

“To conquer the unknown you must trust.” Yogi Bhajan

The answer to the question I was looking for  becomes obsolete if I forget the word INTEGRATION on a daily basis. It is not the answer that is so important now, but how I approach and interact with it. That is how I feel. We give meaning to each moment and person in life, and we use it to identify time and place, to keep track of where we are standing and how we are feeling throughout our journey. INTEGRATION to me throws into relief the fact that a point in time is simultaneously composed by multiple points itself over and over. A person’s life experience, circumstances that they had to live through, geographic location and the story of the land they live in, previous partners, sons, daughters, hopes, regrets, dreams, fears and the points go on and on. Like a painter’s pallet containing colors we love and some we might not love so much. The pivot is very fine, do I stay on the surface to come to a conclusion of  how a person is, based on one event or quality or do I go in, in, in and even more into the person’s essence to feel if it’s right for me? If it is right essence for the colors I am composed of? Almost like my trip to India, which peeled crusts and layers that where there, but in essence they didn’t belong to me.

Peeling, peeling and giving space to flourish with the TRUST that the Universe, Guru, God, whatever you think is out there knows exactly what is perfect for you. I am not yet able to exist in this complete faithful state of mind at all times. When I deviate and my brain wants to find out or plan for the future beyond anything reasonable, my head starts spinning out of control. And luckily that day there is a small fresh space in me that asks me: Patricia is there anything wrong RIGHT NOW, AT THIS PRESENT MOMENT? Fortunately the answer has been NO 99.9999% of the times. Big relief invades me and my head stops spinning, my attention comes back to NOW and I am able to appreciate the beauty of the life happening right in front of my eyes.

Buenos Aires

I do belief that this same Guru, God and creator places exactly what we need in our life to keep evolving spiritually. DEEPER TRUST is the one I feel I have been upgraded to in unison with INTEGRATION. And in this spirit it is that I moved to Argentina with my handsome partner. I have been advised to leave room for magic to come in once I am in Argentina, not to plan to much what I will be doing for work. If you know me, you must be laughing already, because you know how my creative mind blooms ideas like a spring afternoon. We let it run for a while and now the time has come to let it rest, we arrived in Buenos Aires February 6th at 440AM. Only one thing I am certain, everything I have to offer is inside of m, and I trust that anywhere I go I will be able to keep sharing what I have to give to others. The only difference from now on is  I can refer to ME as WE.

Meditation for Trust as thought by Yogi Bhajan:

Sit in easy pose. Life the arms up over the with the right palm over the left for males and left palm over the right for females. Thumbs are touching. The palms are down and over the crown area with the elbows slightly bent.
Whisper Wahe Guru with the eyes slightly open and gazing at the upper lip.
Meditate for 11 minutes.

You can find it in Sadhana Guidelines as Meditation for Brosa

Using an audio can be of help. Satkirin Kaur Khalsa has Wahe Guru track in Ignite your Light.

P.S: Share Yoga with your children, students and young ones in your family. This was my inspiration when I wrote Learn Play Practice: Yoga for Children with Beth Maderal in collaboration with Girls Prep Bronx in New York and Smriti Chakravarti founder of Om Yoga International Health Society in India.

Argentinean and starting to dance tango in New York?

Tango in Union Square, New York

Little did I know that my last visit to Buenos Aires would lead me to start dancing tango in New York. And even less did I know that this trip would be the one that would answer my question about how to spend more time there, close to my family and friends, in my birthplace, which had called my heart during my last visit in 2011. First let me tell you some details about how I got here.  I have lived in New York since 1999 and in 2009 I traveled India for  six months. This deep and far away  inward and outward journey transformed my life completely. Yoga was a big part of my life even before then. I have always wanted to got to India and I didn’t really know I was going there. I was originally hired with a three year contract as the head of Fashion department at Academy of Design, in Sri Lanka, but I left. Only once I spent two weeks in Sri Lanka I came to the conclusion that I would had to deviate my spiritual path for this job to later come back to the path where I left it, very difficult decision to make, but I quit. At the stage  I was at in my spiritual path back then, I was not strong enough to withstand peoples criticism about the lifestyle choices and eating habits I had.

The mother Ashram

And anyways, for whom was I there? For my self, my higher self or for the image that this prestigious position would gain me in the world?

I had closed shop in New York and didn’t really have any reason to come back. India popped up in my head, but where would I start the trip without prior planning or preparation? I traveled there anyways, and had the most amazing trip of my life. I connected with the land to such an extent that I didn’t want to leave when my six month visa expired. Smriti Chackravarti , the beautiful yogini and teacher I studied Yoga and Pranayama with in Varanasi sent me back.

Smrit and I in Bodh Gaya, India

She said it was time to depart India, otherwise I would never leave. Smriti sent me back to absorb the teachings I had received, and asked me to share them with people in my own way. My heart felt so big and warm from this experience that I had the urge to share it with the whole world in a creative way. I focused on sharing the wisdom with children. If only I could have had this wisdom accessible to me on a daily basis  as I was growing up, what a fortunate blessing for my life, even if not recognized consciously at that time. That is how I was inspired to write Learn Play Practice, a Yoga book for children, their parents and teachers to explore the techniques of Yoga in a safe, fun and artistic way.

Yoga book for Children cover by David Sepulveda

It was a great collaboration with my friend and Yoga teacher Beth Maderal, my Yoga Smriti Chakravarti and Girls Public Prep, the school where she developed a Yoga program for the core curriculum.  Spanish, English and German editions of the book are available online and we offer workshops in schools and studios.

Upon my return from India my values and priorities had change drastically and during my visit to Argentina in 2011 something unexpected happened. For the first time in 13 years I felt my heart and my land vibrating together. My land called me to come back, spend time with my family, share the wisdom with my people and reconnect with my roots on a deeper level. But HOW? No idea, really no-idea. The question was out there tingling in my auric field, tapping in my head once in a while with no answer for it. My antennas were up, internal communications connected to my energetic ears and eye. The answer had to appear around me at some point, I hoped. In the meantime I decided to stay in New York and build my base there. It took me 18 months to completely, physically and spiritually arrive from India, and a total of two and a half years to settle back in New York. For the first year I missed that land and my teacher so much, I would sob only from reading Indian biographies or stories. I was in pain and confused for some time, but something was clear: I had the mission to share the wisdom I had acquired in India in my own way. And that has been my focus and commitment while in New York, until the answer I was looking for came to me last June when I was in Argentina.

Before I continue revealing the story I want to make you aware of the word that inspires me the most these days: INTEGRATION.  After presented with the answer to my question: How to spend more time in Argentina? I came to decode the fact that there is a maturity point in our spiritual path when it is the right time to integrate  insights from within into our outside realities on a deeper level. Almost like a mirror: going from deep within to deep without.

Yes I found the way , or better said it found us, and as a result of it I am moving to Buenos Aires February 5th. Upps, my flight to Puerto Rico is about to land and I have to turn off the computer for now. I will carry on later, no pun intended.

For now enjoy this meditation which has helped me connect with the flux of my heart and once connected to it the answers I am looking for become more lucid. ENJOY!

Sat Kartar Kriya

Sit in an Easy Pose, with a light jalandhar bandh also known as neck lock. Bring your chin slightly back and down, extending the neck so the natural curve in the back of your neck straightens up

Eyes: The eyes closed, looking up, focusing at the Brow Point.

Resource from Kundalini Research Institute

Mantra: SAT KARTAAR As you say SAT, the hands are pressed together in Prayer Pose at the center of the chest. As you say KAR, the hands are extended out from the shoulders, half-way towards the final position. Fingers are pointing straight up. As you say TAAR, the arms are fully extended out to the sides and parallel to the floor, fingers pointing up. Make the transition from step to step a flowing movement.

You can view this video that has the Adi Mantra to tune in and the track fro the meditation.

 Time: 11 MINUTES

Comments:

If you feel your heart is closed and there is no flow of love, and you want to open your heart, do this meditation.

FUNKAR

se abrio el grifo, el manantial
de esos que hacen correr al agua cristalina de aca y de alla
de la que te pule hasta el huesito del talón de Aquiles
dejando las penas detrás
hay tanguero,como son esas frases tan lindas que tenes ahi para darahora entiendo toda esa tinta en tu huella digital

vidas enteras han pasado para poder cristalizar
ese abecedario tan lindo que me hace suspirar
es el encuentro súbito aquel domingo de lunch
que en su momento no estaba ni conectada
a lo que la realidad me quería mostrar
menos mal que la tengo a la Ale, que me sacudió de aca para alla
girtandome como me hacia tan la maguata frente a tal obviedad
de este tanguero en Sanata que me invitaba a bailar…
no solo un tango, ni dos ni un par más,
sino que resultó ser la comparcita de nestras vidas
un paso de aquí en Buenos Aires
y otro de aca en la gran Manjattán
Ahorita los continentes se están juntando
dale que va y que va
la revista para los pibes,
la birra para esta pareja de aca
la pasta que la gorda amazza
y la Yoga que da más y más
wow, tanta gente involucrada en que este purrete y su barrilete
y la chica con la carpeta entre sus brazos y las medias cancan
puedan llegar a estar juntos para jugar
hasta que las zuelas de los zapatos se les gasten de tanto caminar

chanchan…heheheh
te quiero
te amo
te siento
te-neme entre tus brazoste dejo ver la luz que hace funkar mi Ser.

Energía atómica

No puedo describir claramente esto que me pasa

porque no tengo ganas

quiero sentirlo en mi ser

y que lo sintamos juntos al fundir nuestro aliento con sabor a mar

prefiero no enumerar las cualidades tuyas que me atrapan

sino más disfrutar con complicidad

esta energía atómica que nos atrapa

siempre con una ventana hacia lo que dicen es la realidad

por que pareciera ser que de amor unicamente no te dejan vivir

esas manos azules que me atrapan más alla de mi existencia corporal

son poesía y están repletas de mensajes para mi

me cuentan como sos, que haces y cómo

experta en lenguajes sutiles tan presentes en mi andar

me dejo llevar por esta milonga

que cada vez descubro más

tanto en común tiene con mi sadhana

SUSPIROS

 

Photo Alejandra Buraschi

Mis suspiros con sabor a milongas porteñas

nacieron en los encuentros esperados pero sorprendentes

que las máquinas de San Telmo no pararon de imprimir sobre mí

un paso largo pa’qui, otro pa’lla

y pronto nos vimos bailando valz tanguero

sobre las sogas tambaleantes de nuestros sueños

unidos por el ritmo al pasar.

Decidimos escuchar, respetar y dar lugar a florecer

organicamente desde muy dentro

pasando por las corazas para finalmente oxigenar

el mundo bello que cada uno de nosotros ocupa

Al final que bien, que el señor que buscaba piba hasta 30

se puso flexible y me dejó entrar

Luna Llena. Abrí tu corazón al amor. 25 de Mayo.

 

En esta luna llena de Mayo te invitamos a abrir tu corazón al amor y experimentar la enregía nutriente de la madre tierra.

5PM-7pm

CUPO LIMITADO

Vicky y Patricia, equipo de madre e hija, compartirán técnicas de Kundalini Yoga, Círculo Mawashi y armonización de sonido que traen paz y claridad a tu mente y cuerpo.

 

Por medio de este taller podrás experimentar:

 

• Claridad mental y emocional
• Cuerpo físico relajado
• Fluidez en tu comunicacíon verbal
• Autoestima armonizada
• Ganas de compartir con los demas

 

Sobre el taller:

Empezaremos moviendo un poco el físico para entrar en calor y preparar la mente  para una meditación del Kundalini Yoga. Por medio de esta meditación el canal de nuestra comunicación será expresada desde el corazón, donde se encuentra el cuarto chakra. Cuando el chackra de corazón esta abierto y fluyendo, los límites físicos y verbales son claros pero flexibles. Desde este lugar las palabras llevan vibraciones de compasión y claridad y la persona no está sujeta a los resultados, simplemente expresan su verdad con confianza y apertura a los demás.

Por medio de Reiki Mawashi, un círculo grupal de energía,  dirigido por Vicky, todo tu cuerpo físico y energético se infusionará de la vibración que generaste con el grupo durante la meditación,  creando un campo energético que conecta a un nivel sutíl con el resto de los integrantes. Esta campo energético favorece que las vibraciones del grupo se eleven y refinen más rapidamente en armonía con la Madre Tierra.

Para terminar experimentaras una relajación a nivel celular por medio de la resonancia y el campo sonoro que crea el Didgeridoo. El Didgeridoo favorece que las energías canalizadas en las actividades previas se adapten con armonía en tu cuerpo. Patricia se entona al grupo energeticamente y  toca el instrumento inutitivamente para apoyar las intenciones y el proceso de los participantes.

Sobre el Didgeridoo

Al igual que otros instrumentos armónicos, como los cuencos tibetanos o el gong, el didjeridoo está asociado directamente con la sanación y el
crecimiento espiritual.

El didjeridoo es un instrumento musical de los pueblos aborígenes del norte de Australia. Crea un campo de sonido en totalidad de donde el campo del cuerpo “toma” por resonancia las frecuencias que necesita para alinear su estado armónico y activar su poder sanador.

Los instrumentos científicos de medición de las ondas cerebrales
registraron que mientras somos tratados con didjeridoo, las ondas theta y delta son predominantes, siendo su vibración parámetro de profunda
relajación, que los aborígenes llamaban “Dreamtime”. Este estado de
conciencia expandida abre a experiencias o mensajes del subconsciente y
supraconciente, balanceando los hemisferios derecho e izquierdo. Como
consecuencia natural esta extrema relajación permite a la estructura
celular recibir el registro armónico que emite el didjeridoo alinearse a él
y recuperar su esencia de funcionamiento.

El didjeridoo es un instrumento musical ritual, que nos conecta con nuestro interior mediante las vibraciones del sonido, que equilibra nuestras energías y nos ayuda a ir hacia dentro.
