reverb10.12 body integration

This year, when did you feel the most integrated with your body? Did you have a moment where there wasn’t mind and body, but simply a cohesive YOU, alive and present? (Author: Patrick Reynolds)

In my practice I try to achieve samadhi as often as possible.  I have a handful of times in a temporary state that was as fleeting as a blinking eye once I realized what state I was in.

My most integrated moment this year was birth.  At home, after a few days, with only my pranayama to ease the discomforts of labor I was wholly present to bring my son into this world.

Many of my reverb posts on this site have to do with my pregnancy, birth, and child this last year.  The becoming a parent process has been a huge thing for me and I am not ashamed of that.
