My feet are my best teachers -- geographically, they are the farthest thing from my head.
 -Lori Saltzman

Freedom is a slippery word. How often do we link it to words like when… or if only…

The lesson every master tries to teach us is to "look underfoot" for our freedom. In this weekend of rich movement and sitting meditation practice we take the search literally. Right here, from the neck down, is our begging bowl for freedom. How do we find our feet no matter what's going on, inside or out? How do we move and sweat until we release what holds us tight, predictable, and small? Where is the sweet untethered freedom that doesn't depend on the right partner/body/thought/mood/music? How do we allow ourselves to be moved not by repetitive thoughts, but by spirit itself?

The moment after dancing a wave is such a perfect, effortless place to slip easily into the depths of sitting meditation. Re-entering the dance from sitting silently can catapult us even further into blissful abandon. Dancing and quieting and dancing and quieting, until we remember that we are not who we think we are, nor is anyone or anything else. This is our two-step into freedom.

If you want to fix yourself, this isn't the place. We are here to unfix ourselves, and to become more sure-footed in our fluid nature.
