Thanks for continuing to open space for conversation/integration of my sadhana practice.  I am now really seeing the challenge part for continuity and self-reference.  I am feeling the inspiration of starting the day with the mantra as a dedication of self and setting intentionality. The tension to get swallowed up in externally- focussed, tamasic-tendancies is immense. And then one quick switch of focus and I am there, lighting the sage and starting.

Feeling the sense of group commitment is  the strongest magnet for my new behaviour - What helps flip the switch is that 'we' are doing this, not just me.

The other morning: blueberry pancakes are cooking, David Bowie is playing, house guest in the shower and there I am for my few minutes - quietly determined and surrendering at the same time, to integrate my opening to the subtle realms into my life as it is unfolding around me.  And I feel that I am unconditionally welcomed at any time and in any state.

Happy International Women's Day!
