Early Morning

 

Busy Shadows

I spent a week in mid-August at a Wayward Research Facility in Easton, MD. The lead researcher, W,  was just about to turn three years old. Two of her many seminars were memorable.  She would take us on a tour of the facility and every time we passed a mirror, especially full length ones, she would remark.  "There, see your Shadow"  We were never quite sure whether it was a statement or a question.  It provoked a short meditation on the nature of Shadow, that's it's always with us and a review of the ancient practice of Scrying, the intentional encounter with your own image. 

The other seminar was held outside.  We would all follow W's lead and start to move.  First there were yoga poses, then it got a bit faster and more dirvish-like.  Several of us lost our balance and fell over. We said that we got "dizzy". W would comment that we fell over because we were "Busy." We then 
returned to our private areas for a meditation on the effects of contemporary life on spiritual centering

She invited to watch this YouTube on Archetypal Imbalance. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=ddkqMfBbGN8
