![]() Embodiment Training focuses on the following nine practices. All practitioners explore the first six of these practices. The last three depend on circumstances and personal inclinations. Faraji is a Sufi word meaning "ripped opened." The insights of Embodiment Training reveal themselves the most palpably and clearly to practitioners who are exploring the physical posture of balance. Playing with balance allows the energies latent in the body to explode open. The practitioner then yields to these liberated currents of energy, allowing them to move him or her however they want. These movements spontaneously initiate the dance, and everybody's dance will be unique. The dance may range from completely surrendered and unpremeditated movement, like the Subud latihan, to more intentional stretching, like yoga asanas. There is no goal to the dance, no end place that you are trying to get to. There is only movement, surrender, and awareness, even in the asanas. The veil of the mind depends on stillness of the body. When you connect with the current that constantly wants to move, the veil lifts. We refer to these practices as Sudaba which is short for the surrendered dance of balance. The main text for this practice is Yoga of the Mahamudra: The Mystical Way of Balance by Will Johnson (Inner Traditions, 2005). |
