The mother practice in movement
sacred movement ritual
The Mother practice in movement is called Sacred Movement Ritual, a series of ten contemplations embodying the MahaVidyas. Each movement is an expression of a different Mother and contains mysteries, spiritual lessons that can be used for contemplation, meditation and movement practices. Each moving contemplation contains a subtle realization, a key, which unlocks the door to Her wisdom. Here the movement meets the guiding wisdom that is being expressed.
The Mother Practice uncovers our innermost treasure, the oneness that is inside our hearts,
where we are completely free, loved and safe. It is from here that we develop true peace and wisdom.
The movements or mudras, are expressions of Her wisdom being felt and experienced through the body & consciousness.
Each movement is a spiritual lesson, a doorway leading to the essence of the Divine Mother and the love She wishes to impart. The inner focus of this practice carries us to the oneness that is found in our heart.
Ultimately a non-dual practice. Outward devotion to the Divine Mother is complete with the inward understanding of being one with Her.
