remember r&r this newember

remember this...

sometimes the greatest honoring of the ancestors isn’t an altar of offerings, but a single offering…

the offering and surrendering of oneself to rest…

especially when the ego deems resting wrong or inappropriate

Let the Great Mother tend to you — and those ancestors and loved ones seated upon the altar of your sacred heart.

it takes a heartful of cœur-age to pray at the altar of one's resting heart & body

REM-ember this nov-ember,
on this new-ember day

this day, lit by the love of your devotional presence with Self,
as Source of the eternal flame

that bright light, by day or night, that lights the way home

for those lost and long forgotten ones,
the ones that live in you as resistance to what is;

to life
as it is.

let this new-ember day burn what needs to burn…

so you can see, seed, and receive life anew
thru the portal of acceptance and allowance

of what is

life

as it is.

Blessings upon you and your ancestors as you rest, when you rest.

For in resting you stoke the fire of life

simply by being and breathing
with those bellows known as lungs

pink fleshy bellows that embrace and hug
your tender and beautiful beating heart

the heart
that gives life to life.

lungs hug heart,
heart hugs life

This is
reciprocity.

What is?

stoking the fire that stokes life
that stokes the stoking fire of life

the pure flowing waters of reciprocity

purified as and while you rest
by the ember in your heart-center

REM-ember

REM sleep, is when most dreaming takes place (article).

...and (reminder) the dreams of your innocent and purified heart are a critical ingredient in the alchemy of the birthing of the new earth; not as a concept, but as a lived experience...one that has never before been.

So go rest, be, breath, close your eyes...relax and dream, while awake or asleep...when you can, whenever that is...

for there's always a moment to deepen presence with what is, even if that's with the phenomenon of resistance to what is

that's what is, until something else is what is.

Who knows which ancestor you're gifting with that moment of devotional resting presence with your attentive breath – and your dreams.

deep and devotional r&r (rest, reciprocity [and relaxation]) are needed for the times ahead...perhaps a depth of devotion, yet to be experienced.

Blessings upon you and your ancestors as you r&r this nov-rem-ember

nov-rem-ember — the month you are invited to light anew your devotion to rest, self-care, and incidentally harmonize with the reciprocity inherent in the essence of your very hearted-being.

in light of the subject matter, i'm inspired to offer 'rest into rest' somatic sessions.

If you're finding yourself challenged and struggling to 'rest into' the physiology of rest than this session may be for you...because to rest need not be a struggle.

Meaning...even if you have the circumstances and conditions that are conducive to rest (i.e., time, space, quiet, and comfy things)...you still can't rest or 'wind down'.

Raise your hand if you know what i'm talking about?!

Perhaps your direct experience is revealing to you that something deeper and more fundamental to your physiology is impacting and effecting your ability to rest into rest.

Congratulations! ...the body speaks and you're listening.

Sometimes (quite often actually) it's not so much the outer conditions, as it is the inner conditions and your neurological 'software' that's needing maintenance and upgrading—and that's precisely what we'll do during this session.

Create the conditions, through an exploration of your experience, which allows for the organizational intelligence of the body, source intelligence, to repair and rewire exactly in the way that it knows it needs—so as to access the greater depths of rest that it knows it needs. In so doing, you open your self to Self where new dimensions of recovery, rejuvenation, and dreaming are made available to you.

Together we will discover deeper dimensions of inner-space, opening you to dream and receive life anew for yourself and your ancestors—in your waking life.

In resting you gift all of life; in all directions; across all dimensions of space and time; for you are the emanator of the ripple—the waveform of higher-order life—that tends and mends precisely where is needed.

The same way the body knows precisely where to tend and mend after falling off a bike; multiple cuts, scrapes, sprains and bruises, yet the body knows where to prioritize focus with the resources available.

There's literally nothing for you to do, other than to show up.

The experience itself will be restful, nourishing, and slow you way down.

i have space for 3 of these sessions thru 11/11 ~ $144 ~ 60-min

email me if you'd like to schedule, ken@kenfried.me

finally, in this moment i invite you to:
close your eyes, slow down your breath, and ride the wave until the musical accompaniment completes.

Warmly,
❤️ kenneth
