JOHN CLAXTON ELEMENTS OF THE SUBTLE BODY


GATEWAY
Stillness
reveals a whole other world
when it inflitrates the body
and all restlessness
dissolves.
Whether sitting, standing or lying
meaningful refinement of balance
comes almost of its own accord
as our born-with symmetry returns
restoring a forgotten inner place.

And fine balance of the head
acquires a more profound significance
when we recognise that
the two hemispheres of the brain
in that moment
become equally light
and then
can become equally soft.

Softening the hemispheres
opens a gateway
into the Subtle Domain.
It dissolves the hardness
of intentionality
of effort, of striving
and brings a release
in the muscularity
of the physical body
that opens this subtle inner space
where awareness
spreads its pure immediacy
and its soft light.
