Winds of spirit

Our biggest stress as human beings may be when we can’t create movement between ourselves and the people or the environment we are in continuum with. The heart locks up and little pieces of it start to die. This is deeply connected with spirit, not the soul, but the spirit. Spirit is deeply connected with vayu, with the wind, which is the movement body. We become dispirited because we can’t create movement between ourselves and the other person. This "locked-up" state creates a feeling of dispiritedness and dying, which is not healthful, emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually.

How can you return movement to the heart? How can you make the heart more organic, more spirited? How can you give it more space? How can it have more breathing room? By having more movement the heart can accommodate and shift in relationship to a different situation, which might be another person.

Look into the heart chakra of somebody you’re close to. Let your attention go to that place where you can see all the little packages in perfect contiguous blending with each other. Then look at your own heart as if you were outside looking back at it, and let yourself see that same situation in your heart. Then ask your higher self what your heart would need to do to accommodate this person differently. How could the furniture be rearranged? Just have that intention. You don’t have to do anything. You just need to have that attention and intention on this level of the heart. Once you bring that desire, that awareness, that feeling back to your heart, your heart will arrange itself, seeking accommodation with the person you’re in continuum with. You will have the experience of a restructuring of the heart.

This wind, or vayu, is like a big parafoil that opens up. When the two hearts seek accommodation with each other, they create a big wind, a fuel, a big force. That force that’s generated when two humans seek accommodation with each other is full of creativity. It’s hugely productive. The other thing I’d like you to observe is that when you see your heart shifting to accommodate the other person, what kind of fuel or force is produced out of that?
