Return to the Garden



Mind dissolves in the heart, but we don't lose the qualities of reason and discrimination. They are like sugar crystals dissolved in water, one with our liquid being. Conflict between thinking and feeling disappears. Adam and Eve, Christ and Magdalene, Krishna and Radha, unite in the Bridal Chamber of the Hridaya chakra at the center of this human form. The serpent of Wisdom coils sweetly around our spine, the Tree of Life, as a luminous breath of Spirit. With every inhalation, awareness touches the sky, and with every exhalation Shakti roots down in the dark soil, entwining heaven and earth in the radiance of our divine flesh. The soul no longer wanders in exile from the sacred garden of the body. We dwell under the blossoming bower of Presence, by a nourishing stream of luscious green intuition.
