Heart Flight
Being With Possibility and What Is
Integral Anatomist Gil Hedley states that the lungs are the wings of the heart. Breath allows the blood to oxygenate and flow. How clear and perfect, by design, in poetic image. Thank you, Gil.
I allow my heart flight to rise on the wind.
As I hone my intention to rise above the surface of this body experience, I allow my lower body to ground with the energy of vast root systems, which have their expression in trees and forests surrounding and populating earth’s surface. These high beings are visible realities of innate connections and interweaving of deep earth and skies, stars, space—beyond what I see at surface. My body heavy and open below, I am settled and held deeply by gravity, roots.
I sink into my breath and enter heart flight, the wings of my lungs catching the wind. I accurately tilt feathers/spines to enable my rise with the variations of currents and updrafts.
I slow my breath to allow the expansion of my watery tissues within to glide into open space, expansive and swallowing breath which moves blood, the body of heart flight. The spiral of life force/blood, filled with wind/oxygen, dancing with my heart flight into a soaring expanse above the surface of alive land.
There I am below, attached fully to my human being expression of life. My heart flight soars with vision of all which is ongoing, life generation—the view from above. Patterns are apparent, patterns and indications of spiral forms, clusters of similarities, circles, lines, webs—shapes of life. What a view.
I allow my heart flight to listen intuitively to the movements of Earth’s breaths, which guide me within, above, and below. My relaxed listening allows my most internal senses of spiral life force to adapt to speed, pull, and push of air dance, the breathing of Earth. Gravity: fall and rise.
It feels like magic, but it’s not. The buoyancy of balance is a lifted feeling, a suspension of parallel energies, an alignment of breath with heart, breath with gliding relaxation, a dance of stillness which is actively following moment-to-moment shifts in a consistency of spin, glide, settling, and lengthening. An expansion of energy with its inherent churn of regenerating motion.
This root/wing process is exactly the shape of my individual heart/root lungs/wings. The extensive feathers are the fascial system throughout my body.
As feathers express their larger spine shafts of vessels and nerves, throughout their brilliant and fractal shapes of weaving, splitting, meshing—all is driving in through spaces of liquid and innervation.
Heart flight is the play of water and light which is continuous and whole throughout planetary being. This action being, the play of water and light, are expressed in me, right here. Home.
