POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

2 years without sex (22 months)
5-6 years without porn
3 years without alcohol
1.5+ years without tobacco
1.5+ years without coffee
6+ months without cannabis

I was attached and dependent on each of this to differing degrees for years of my life. Without even realizing the dependency I had.

It wasn’t the sex, alcohol, tobacco or anything else that was the problem, I was the problem. My relationship to them was the problem.

What started off as occasional experiences where I had complete autonomy shifted to them having a strong grip on me.

The journey of breaking free from these patterns wasn’t to be celibate for life or never enjoy these substances again; but to break the attachment I had to these things. To reprogram myself to not need them, but rather be able to enjoy them consciously and intentionally. by @tydeansmith

Ode to the Sacred Breath

I know you as the feminine aspect of God
Breathing you in I connect with all that there is
Receiving the gift of life with each inhale
Letting go the worries of life with each exhale
You are the medium in which I get to dance and exchange with the most high one
Inspiration, respiration, elevation
Receiving & expressing; the duality of breath
The thread linking all beingness
Invisible and yet completely sensational
It is you who gifts me the opportunity to merge with God
Divine gift from creator come as the means of connection and oneness in each moment
Joyfully filling the temple with your essence
Glorious inherent eternal abundance
Holy Spirit; bowing my head to you in reverence
I honor you fully, I receive you completely, I love you eternally

The mind’s gift is thinking, the body’s gift is feeling. With the guidance of the body the mind becomes a feeling mind, aware of the energetics around them. With the guidance of the mind the body becomes a thinking body, aware of the external physical world around them.

The mind collects data based on external stimulus. Through the eyes the mind receives external input and data that informs the internal body of the external world. The mind analyzes this data.

The body collects data through energy and subtle cues. These inputs are felt internally within the body. These internal sensations and cues inform the mind of the energetics around them. It offers the mind an insight into the energy, intentions, nervous systems, and emotions of the environment.

Unified and operating as one, we can maneuver life with a clearer understanding of our environment and a deeper sense of trust.

If you’re indulging in addictions, consuming things for pleasure, or seeking external gratification there is a good chance you’re abusing your body. Extracting from the body for short term gain and pleasure even though these same things are hard on the body, not aligned with health, and are causing energetic closing.
Maneuvering life like this will create a lack of trust and safety within the body. Your own body will stop trusting you to guide it. You’re not a worthy captian of the vessel and your body knows it.

Honor the body by listening and trusting the bodies signals.

Your body speaks in energy, feelings, sensations, and insights. Can you hear her? by @tydeansmith

The entire body is deeply intertwined and connected. Throughout the body we also see aspects that are not only intertwined, but are literal reflections of one another. Like looking in a mirror these aspects operate, function, and are structured in an identical way.

When you look at the head everything taking place in this area is being reflected and mirrored back in the body. The head (macrocosm/Heaven) the body (microcosm/ Earth). We descend from the head into the body; or from the spiritual into the physical.

To highlight a couple:
The tongue & genitals are mirrors.
The jaw & hips are mirrors.

These different mirrors are not only influencing one another, but are quite literally expressing the same patterns as one another.

When focusing on the tongue specifically we are working with an incredibly strong muscle in the human body that is a critical aspect of supporting and holding the face and skull in proper position; influencing the posture and structure of the entire body.

The tongue tends to accumulate tensions and lacks proper body awareness. The tongue being an extension of the neck, and being connected to facial lines and muscles throughout the face has a direct impact on the neck and jaw.

Consciously going into the tongue with our awareness and movement and working to release tensions in the tongue is also releasing tensions in the neck and jaw. Releasing tensions in the tongue, neck, and jaw has a direct impact on releasing tension in the genitals and hips.
Increasing mind body connection to the tongue and jaw also results in increased mind body connection to the genitals and hips.

Many people tend to gravitate towards a bottoms up approach; focusing for years on their nagging tight hip and experiencing little relief. Adding in a top down approach and beginning to intentionally work with the tongue and jaw can have a massive impact on your body.

Like changing your image and the image in the mirror matching the shift; when we free up areas in our head our body naturally begins to mirror this shift.

Opening through fire. These exercises are foundational to opening and building the body in preparation for Qi Gong and martial arts.

The mechanism at hand as I understand it is most people will be initially utilizing their muscles to hold the position; at some point the muscles will fatigue and no longer be able to hold the position. At that point once the muscles start to fatigue and relax something else begins to take place.

Meridians in the body begin to open. Energy begins to flow. Stored tensions previously held in the body begin to express out of the body.

You know you have found the sweet spot when your body begins to shake. Energetically and often times physically shaking. This is the meridians opening and the energy beginning to move.

Rather than being up tight and avoiding the pain or sensations the intention is to sink your energy and go into the tensions. This process helps to send stored tension down and out of the body.

The point is to hold these positions for extended periods; finding balance between structure (the position) and surrendering into the structure. Trusting the Earth and your body to support you; you sink everything downwards and become heavy.

Whether practicing Qi Gong or simply just moving throughout your day; there is a clear difference in the body from before and after practicing these exercises. The body is more open, grounded, and connected after doing these exercises.

I woke up with this mantra repeating in my head over and over with the word “receivership”. It felt important so I grabbed my phone to make note of it; seeing that it was exactly 4:44am.

I share this because I know this to be a powerful mantra that one can use with ease. I’ve grown to appreciate using this mantra with any energy I am calling into my life. Simply replacing Receivership with that which you are declaring to allow in.

I feel there is something powerful about the simplicity, ease, repetition, and rhyme that allows this to effortlessly sink in; slipping past the conscious mind and programming the subconscious mind.

Save this video and return to it until you have the mantra memorized. Utilize this mantra to program yourself, prime your state, and to call specific things into your life. by @tydeansmith

All jokes aside.. the process isn’t always pretty. Here I am intentionally releasing tension in my neck, jaw, tongue, eyes, and face.

Everyone naturally carries a high degree of tension in these areas; which has an immediate and direct impact on tension throughout the body.

I am releasing the tension through the intentional expression of the tension.
By expression I mean the activation or activity of allowing the tension to be felt and to be actively moving.

In other words I am intentionally feeling and utilizing the stored tension in these areas in order to give the tension a vehicle for movement rather than continuing to store it. by @tydeansmith

Here is a peak into part of the journey of embracing and integrating all of me.

~Dark Roots~

This spoken word piece flowed to me during a late night walking meditation.

I was thinking about how I was soon to be at an event that I’d categorize as a love/light event. A conscious community focused on high vibes and the light side of reality. Upon thinking about this I was acknowledging and owning that my life hasn’t been all love and light. Like most, I’ve experienced a degree of darkness. I’ve been on the giving and receiving end of darkness. I used to carry degrees of shame about parts of my past. I’ve now grown to accept and appreciate them; seeing how they were necessary learning steps in my journey and how they actually strengthened me in profound ways.

This piece is an acknowledgment and ownership of past darkness; while simultaneously telling a story of integrating and embracing parts of darker self, and ultimately choosing love.

Supreme strength comes from embracing both sides; the gangster and spiritual, the monk and warrior, the dark and the light. by @tydeansmith
