The mother practice in movement
The Mother Practice is ultimately a non-dual practice. Outward devotion to the Divine Mother is complete with the inward understanding of being one with Her. Each movement contains mysteries and spiritual lessons that can be used for meditation and movement practice.
Each movement is an expression of a different Mahavidya. They are a contemplation which 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 Mother Practice in Movement:
- I refer to this practice as Sacred Movement Ritual. It is 10 moving contemplations which are a complete spiritual practice. Each movement contains a spiritual lesson and opens to a deeper contemplation. The Tenth movement is Stillness.
- Each movement reveals a different aspect of the Divine Mother and the mystical meaning of movement.
- The movement has the intention of balancing the subtle energies of the body.
- Moving with Nature we will experience an ego-less state of being.
- Ongoing practice cultivates peace and wisdom.
- Simple yet profound each movement lesson is a seed that when planted with our practice reveals deeper and deeper truths.
- The Mother practice is our innermost treasure. It is the oneness that is inside our hearts, where we are completely free, loved and safe.
- With practice comes the understanding of how to connect meditation states with physical movement.
- This is the study of the contemplative & inner aspects of Yoga philosophy and how consciousness expresses itself through the physical reality.
