Simplicate, don't complify...

In teaching, I often say:

'Simplicate,
Don't complify!'

We smile, and maybe laugh a little.

Simplicate -
Come to a pause,
A space,
Presence.

Listen within.

Notice the complifyings,
The holdings,
Tightenings,
Compression.

My hands and voice guiding you,
Their specific-ness comes into focus with practice.

Stay with them,
Let them be so.

Then…
In those tight places,
Simplicate.
Soften...
Melt...
Defrost...
Release….

Release into the knowledge that we expand,
Open,
Naturally,
By design,
When we soften….

Outwards and upwards,
Deepening,
Widening,
Lengthening,
Flowering…

And allowing the time it takes,
Drop preconceptions,
Release complication,
Meet simple.
