Embodied Flow (For Wanna)

 


Clouds, palm leaves

Bamboo stems, song

Wind, wood

Energy, heat

Ribs, hips

Knee, thigh

Arms to sky

Feet to ground

Heart to crown

Spine long

Breath

Breathe, nostrils

Mouth, tongue, roof

Release

Laughter from the core

Up, down, around

Love simply

But deeply

Then laugh some more. 


I was inspired to write this poem after attending a class with Wanna, a certified Embodied Flow teacher at Lotus Shores Siargao in October 2018. It was the first time I attended a class that I found easy-going and filled with laughter. Wanna made me rethink the practice. That inward work shouldn't have to be so serious and somber. Instead, a little bit of laughter makes the ride so much richer and more enjoyable. This life is too short to just dwell on the darker side of things after all.
