May 2008 - Traffic Wisdom
The
magic and beauty of the Universe is always available to us to feel and
celebrate, within ourselves and all around. That is First Principle of
Anusara Yoga, "Open to Grace". The variable is our own awareness and
sensitivity, and what our Shri-sight is focused on. The signs of Grace
can come in myriads of forms from the very
subtle to the blatant. You know that feeling when you think of someone
and they call, or
a song comes on the radio just at the right time, or you experience
spontaneous joy when you witness a baby's giggle or spectacular
sunset? One of my favorite ways I receive subtle messages of Grace is
in the
form of license plate messages in traffic.
Many years ago a
friend mentioned she received subtle energetic messages from license
plates. I wanted to receive them too, so I just 'asked the universe'.
Immediately I began to see license plates that mysteriously offered
ideas and insights to what I was contemplating at that moment.
Synchronicity or Serendipity? In my book, nothing is happenstance, and now I too, am spreading Shri-dom on Arizona highways... XPCTGUD is what you'll see if you're sitting behind me at the light.
Here are a few of the license plate wisdom sightings I've recorded over the last year. It makes commuting ever so enlightening! The next time you hit the road, put on your Shri-specs and NJOY the ride!

February 2008 Drishti - The Shakti Arm in Handstand
(or any handbalance!)
If you have the handstand bug, you're not alone. There is something so
intoxicating about hanging around upside down, something so
invigorating and addicting, it has become what I think of as an Anusara obsession. It is
that moment of 'hanging' that opens the space in which we recognize our
Nature. We get a hit of our own Light and highest possibility.
One little seed I like to plant surrounds the power of the drishti. The drishti (gaze, inisight,vison) is a powerful energetic component in Adho Mukha Vriksasana, downward facing tree pose.
The shape of the pyramid creates a powerfully strong structure as a foundation. When the hands are placed in alignment under the shoulders, they create the energetic baseline of the equilateral triangle. The drishti acts as an energy conduit. Where we place
our focus, gaze, the drishti, is where our energy goes. With my inner
drishti deeply connected to the focal point in the base of my heart, I place my outer drishti at the tip of the energetic equilateral triangle. I find a place on my mat, a dot, a ripple, and place my focus there. My drishti becomes a beam of Shakti anchoring me as a supporting third eye arm of light in this powerfully intoxicating pose.
