Yoga touches all the layers of our being (kośa). At the end of our posture practice we let go into śavāsana, an opportunity to let go of everything, to drop into unscheduled time. We no longer make adjustments, we don’t try to fix anything, we let things be dis-organized. Holding ourselves together takes an enormous amount of effort whilst letting go can be disorientating.
When we emerge from śavāsana we can be in a rush to organize our experience rather than simply being in it. However, the mind, or mental of our being (manomaya kośa) is very small when compared to the bliss body (anandamaya kośa). It is incapable of making sense of our full experience. No past reference is suitable, no wise words are wise enough, in fact words can really straitjacket our experience. Instead, can we open up to what is arising and allow it to nourish us fully? No stories, no excuses, no need to understand.
When we open to the body of bliss we are practicing a radical act. We are opening to the experience of fullness that knows no bounds, costs no money, and above all is highly contagious. If you are resistant to the experience of bliss perhaps you are withholding your greatest gift to others, your complete and utter presence.
