What a delight to walk out my front door and see all of this.
I love the balloons.
I love how they float so gently, almost silently along the sky.
I love how, high up, they are both a part of it all and completely removed from it all.
The way they float gracefully observing, reminds me of moving in meditation.

You’re invited to join me to connect deeply to your inner experience while observing the world around you.

We’ve just Begun a standing meditation practice.
A what?
A way to increase our energy.
A way to align our physical structure thereby releasing causes of pain and disease.

It doesn’t happen overnight but gradually builds and builds and builds.

Why are my daily tasks easier?
Why do I have more energy now when usually I’m conked out?
Why did I say yes to that invitation when I normally say no?
And why do I have so much more stamina at my painting easel?
Are just a few of the questions I’ve been contemplating since beginning.

You’re invited to join us - BEGINNING is available now: https://youtu.be/epEUaO4AVIo?si=jwhH8...



I hope you see you inside. I’m wishing you graceful qi,
Kathy

What I do here affects what happens there. It’s hard for me to believe, it’s nearly impossible for me to explain, and it is so deeply true.

A movement practice that unites all of me, an exercise routine that trains my heart and mind as much as my body.

Breath Breath expands what stress constricts,
movement releases what fear blocks,
focus chooses what nurtures and grows,
leaving me a body at peace with itself and in harmony with the world around it

Oh my gosh the weather is stunning!
Off to the arboretum I went to record a session celebrating, appreciating, and acknowledging this season of Late Summer, Earth, and smooth transitions.

Do you have a movement practice? Do you have a spiritual practice? You’re invited into the Moving Meditations channel where we move gently.

A special session, available to all, is coming on Wednesday, September 9th. Maybe I’ll see you for it?

Want more, longer and deeper sessions? You can find it here: patreon.com/cw/movingmeditation

I would love to know how your practice is going, let me know?

Wishing you peaceful qi and beautiful creations,
Kathy

The Bountifulness of August
How has August been for you?
Have you had time to practice?

Reflecting
helps me feel connected and engaged in my life. It helps keep me honest - so much good happens each day and I find acknowledging it both feels good and helps it grow.

Refinement
For me August has been a generous flow of life. As the energies within me align more and more I’m noticing all sorts of little shifts and big changes. I’m receiving ideas, thoughts, and internal instructions all making my life fit even better.

Ease
These movement practices align our body, heart, and mind. Our practice follows us off of our mat; it’s customary to begin moving less inhibited, with less thought, and with more trust.

She moves in mysterious ways
This increase in trust showed up for me this month in unexpected ways and I’m appreciating it all so much, would you like a couple of highlights?

- I began a new qi gong study and practice with the Shaolin Temple of Europe - I wasn’t consciously aware I was seeking, but something within sure was, and the ease with which what I want showed up feels wonderful

- Stella, my adventure companion, became injured and we had to radically shift our activities. What my mind wanted to label as a problem ended up leading to new activities and discoveries. More refinement! I discovered a wonderful spot from which to plein air paint by the river.

- A new camera and microphone! for recording Moving Meditations - it’s a lot to learn, but I’m loving both the challenge and the creativity they are bringing me

Welcome the bountifulness of harvest season!

✨ Upcoming highlight: On September 9th a special, new, and free meditation will be available to everyone ✨

Beginning - A Standing Qi Gong Practice
There is something incredibly powerful, and to me healing, about a standing meditation practice. We’re beginning slowly and gently, I so hope you’ll join me.

Do you have something to share with me? Or to ask me? You’re invited to share below, to share in a chat, or to message me.

I hope you have delicious days to close out the bountifulness of August.
Wishing you peaceful qi,
Kathy

A somatic experience
When I first began my journey of illumination with the Gene Keys they led me very quickly into a study of Tai Chi and Gi Gong.

At the time I was suffering from chronic disease, persistent pain, and burnout.

It feels for me very much like I am just following urges from within. I don't often know what I am up to or why I'm doing the things that I am doing but they feel so right and so true. I almost feel like I'm walking up an invisible flight of stairs. And this morning I was gifted another incredible experience.

I've begun a practice of standing meditation. So very simply put, the ancient Taoists believed that the energies of heaven and earth run through us and as we stand aligned between them we are aligning ourselves.

This morning I felt it. My experience reminded me of Richard's meditations in the Art of Contemplation (some of my very most favorites). I could sense the tension in my body wasn't isolated to only my physical body, this tension was something more. And as I began to release everything began to change.

I recorded an audio capturing my experience, would you like to listen to it?

Wishing you deep releases of internal tension,

Hello friends,
Today I have something new to share with you, a Moving Meditation movement practice.

You’re invited into comfortable unrestrictive clothing, a space to move freely in, a comfy spot to rest, and to join me in a Moving Meditation practice based on the ancient healing arts of Tai Chi and Qi gong.
Would you like to join me?

This is a special project.
I’ve been sharing these meditations locally, in a beautiful arboretum at a local park. It’s really lovely.
And I belong to a spiritual community, The Gene Keys. (Links below)
The Gene Keys founder, Richard Rudd, is leading an online 18 month long retreat and has invited those of us who are Guides in the community to offer our magic, our medicine, our service.
And so I am.
I’m hosting an adjunct group for the retreat, and this is a sample.

The idea arose to offer it to you, those who may come across this.
I’ve not shared this video publicly, I’m not sure I will.
I trust it will find anyone who will benefit from it.

Here is the link, please free to share it: https://youtu.be/cuI2GzuM6gA

If you do play, I would so appreciate a comment letting me know your experience and if perhaps you’d like more?

With Love,
Kathy

I'm working on new videos. I've been recording and working and hope to be home with my editing tools soon! How are you? It's so muddy here! 😆

I'm really loving my life at the moment.
I'm not bragging!

Things are difficult. I mean really difficult, I don't have to tell you. But as sad, mad, enraged, gutted I am, something else is here too.
Peace
Love
an expanding allowance.

And so I'm finding myself taking very long meandering walks in the sun with Stella. Stopping to breathe deeply and move gently.
And in this way I seem to be not just surviving but also becoming.
I wonder, what are your practices?

Wishing you peace 🙏🏻

How do we find peace?
How is it found through the body?

I have something to share with you, but it has to wait until lIm back at a desktop computer - unless you know a way to convert mov files to mp4 on an ios device. ?

How are you? How are you coping with it all? Do you have community and a practice?

I'm wishing you so much peace

I didn't share it. I posted it. It's here, on YouTube, but it's private.

I've been awakening to my real self. That may sound silly, but if you're on the journey, you're on it and so I'll let it stay.

I have been confused, twisted up, and very unhappy in life. Finding the Gene Keys I discovered there is a cause. I have not been living a life aligned with my true nature, my human design. Through absolutely no fault of my own, I was not fulfilling my unique purpose.

Many, most, of us are not.
It's deeply disturbing.
It fills us with unease, anxiety, tension, fear.
So much of our fear comes from the insecurity of now knowing, of not being what we are designed to be and do in this lifetime.

And this creates unease.
Living in this unease we run, rush, hustle, consume, and long to distract ourselves from the discomfort.

I've really committed to discovering my beauty, genius, purpose. I'm working through fear to share what I discover with the world. And it's a journey! Thank you so much for being here!

Studying my Gene Keys profile led me to an embodiment practice, qi gong and tai chi. I've been so moved, my physical body so healed, my spiritual life so enriched, my mental life so calmed, that I've been sharing these ancient healing practices in a local park.

It's been wonderful, and I have the inspiration to share them with you.
And so I went out on a bright December day and recorded a session to share.

But I feel it isn't quite ready for you.

Maybe that's Gene Key 18, the siddhi of perfection by way of integrity out of the shadow of judgement in my Life's Work. Quite possibly. And so I pause. I wait. Waiting and moving in meditation. Dissolving restrictions in my energetic body opening me to more possibilities and already inspired to record a new session.

And so here I am, balanced between pressure from my mind telling me I must post what I worked to create and the sense I'm not quite ready yet.

All of it including the disappointment, the frustration, and uncertainty feels like self love. I am honoring the quiet still voice within over the loud one in my head.

Wishing you happiness and health,
Kathy

I've been out playing with recording Moving into Stillness sessions - the original Moving Meditation.

I love the creative process. An idea, a thought, a thought about a lot begins to take form then it's refined refined refined. It happens in response to an urge from within.

Where do those urges, ideas, thought come from? I believe we are partnered with the unseen. And those urges are life calling what it wants next.

I'm playing with something new. Will it make it to you? Gosh I hope so.

With Love,
Kathy
