Resonance Movement

This is the fifth of a series of excerpts to be posted bi-weekly. These excerpts are taken from teachings given by Maresha at The Sanctuary on: Consciousness, Spiritual Mentoring, Wholistic Nutrition, Spiritual Ecology and much, much more.

Resonance Movement is a contemplative practice that coordinates conscious breath with conscious movement. When the breath and movement are unified, the consciousness of the body, heart, mind and spirit enters a state of deep relaxation and healing.
The breathing technique is both powerful and simple. The body movements are gentle and flowing, yet strengthening and intense.
Through the Golden Circle Breath, energy is intensified in and around the body. The nature of the breath is round. The movements create arcs through the arm and body positions which act as a container for this energy. The nature of the movements is round. As you flow through the movements, the energy of golden light builds and intensifies while a slow, relaxing and deepening release of tensions occurs. Transformation happens. Your consciousness reaches new and deeper levels of subtle awareness. Healing occurs on all levels.
Resonance Movement begins with a series of slow-motion passes. Each of these passes is created through the coordination of the Golden Circle Breath with arm movements that are gracefully arced while in various stages of movement. During this phase of Resonance Movement, energies are becoming activated. The Golden Light, which is the essence of this vital energy, steadily shines and increasingly brightens. This is The Assemblage Point of Light. The body warms up and relaxes. Circulation increases making the body ready for the series of movements. These passes are the foundation for the remaining sequence of movements. They open the door to the breath, coordinate the breath with the body, and create a container to hold the Golden Light.
The sequence of movements, with the breath, deepens your experience of The Resonance of the Stillpoint. The Stillpoint is peaceful. It is openly relaxed. It is softly strong. It is subtly profound. The Resonance of the Stillpoint is a state of deep meditation. It is the attunement to love.
Resonance Movement can be practiced by anyone, at any age, at any level of development. All that is needed, is a desire to become more peaceful, harmonious and healthy.
Resonance Movement is an intuitive emergence and evolution of contemplative practice. I practiced classical yoga and meditation for over 30 years. Yoga postures are traditionally defined by “lines and extensions of energy in the body”. Resonance Movement is realized as “arcs of circular energy and light which exist within the breath and are contained and sustained within the Movements”. The two practices create a very different inner and outer experience. The former is more straight and the latter is more round.
These Movements revealed themselves to me over a period of one and a half years in which my body became a container for the infusion of golden light, fluid movement and transformational breath. Resonance Movement is a perfect practice to create harmony in these times. A high degree of light is required to burn up the pressures, stresses and challenges that affect us from the world we live in. Resonance Movement offers us a way to not only access this universal energy, but a powerful way to sustain it and become a container for it. While the effects of Resonance Movement have the power to transform these challenges, it’s essence is light, soft and receptive.
