Recently I was reminded that being alive and in a human body can be be a holy WOW kind of experience. Doing Qi Gong in the bush with trees under a vast sky, feet on the earth, I got a taste of the incredible organismic capacity of my natural self for aliveness and connection.
The human body is simultaneously an incredible reflection and a continuation of the the elemental world that we are embedded within. Inhabiting our place between heaven and earth by cultivating this embodied connection is deeply nourishing to our beings, and is a powerful to antidote the disconnection we can experience living a modern, city life.
