Practicing staying RAW……being open to letting the ‘unknown’ unfold for me….
- Nia…..Now i am ….here
- Nia…..Now i am ready
- RAW….Relaxed, Alert and Waiting
The piece below is written by the Master himself, Bruce Lee’s definition of RAW
- Not being tense, but ready
- Not thinking, but not dreaming
- Not being set, but flexible
- Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement
- It is being wholly & quietly alive, aware & alert
- Ready for whatever may come ~ By Bruce Lee
Raw is a practice that was first introduced to be in my Nia White Belt Training when listening to the music. Being RELAXED in my body, ALERT in my mind, peacefully listening and WAITING in my spirit. This practice has helped me to really appreciate the power of now, this present moment and to be 100% present and in my body. It has also helped me with the art of listening. Listening & receiving for myself before transmitting to another, sensing that I am 100% truly listening to every intimate detail in that moment. A wonderful tool in communication.
In our Nia class recently we sustained the sensation of RAW…sensing that if we approached anything in life and remain RAW that we can alter any situation we find ourselves in by our thoughts and our actions. Everything we do has an experience attached to it, but what do we choose to bring?
I invite you today to be RAW…relaxed, alert and waiting. How will this alter your day?
I would love to hear what you discover about your “self’ today
Love & light Tracey 🙂
