YOGIC MOUNTAINS

"Tadasana" or mountain pose in yoga is such a significant and simple pose, the foundation for all of the standing poses. I see the mountains and I am immediately taken away, that is from the distractions that separate me from my true self. In Tadasana I'm both grounded and lifted upward toward the heavens. I'm fascinated by the energy I sense from the mountains and how I can see to their tops and feel that space, that atmosphere, feeling lifted up there, suspended far above my physical limitations as well as firmly rooted in the earth. It's an energy of many dimensions. I believe the wisdom of the mountains can bring a person into that zone of oneness where creativity flows freely. They are endless, the nuances that mountains evoke each time I rest my vision on them. Love is awakened by them. Perhaps the embrace of mother earth is in the nature of mountains. To maintain the state of love, of oneness the mountains embody, as we create, could lead to liberation.
