Kriya Shakti – Divine Action
There is only one more ‘A’ in Anusara to discuss! We’ve gone through Attitude and Alignment and now we explore Action. As Attitude answers the question of ‘why’ we do yoga and Alignment answers the question of ‘how’ we go about it; Action answers the question of ‘what’ is actually in movement. We look toward the Universal Principles of Alignment and we find two major energies of pulsations: Muscle and Organic. These two energies are continuously coming together to create balanced action. Contracting energy meeting expanding energy and the two are hopelessly in love (okay, Valentine’s is coming up, I couldn’t resist the metaphor). They are attracted to one another in a continuous state of pulsation. These pulsations occur naturally in the body. Think of your breath moving in and then out; your heart beating; contracting and expanding. Even your cells are aspirating. Everything in the Universe pulses. When we step into the flow of this pulsation we align with the action of the Divine or Kriya Shakti.
This week step into class and find yourself immersed in the Universal pulsation of Kriya Shakti. Together we will find the optimal balance of Muscle and Organic energies to enliven our experience of the Divine.
