Ylang Ylang

To be inundated in every crevice of your olfactory caves with the smell of ylang ylang is totally  orgasmic. Inhaling her scent deeply within infuses every molecule of your being with sensual delight. Each day we are here awakens our systems of sensing more fully,to experience the beauty within and surrounding us.

Our evening ritual of "sun gazing"while watching the red glowing orb submerge into the ocean washes  our eyes and opens the pineal gland to allow for seeing with a wider lens. The morning bird song accompanied by the enchanting  rhythms of the waves opens our ears to the more subtle tones of sound and quiets the mind so that we can hear. On the beach,where we  stretch,dance,walk,lie on the sand and swim in the ocean, the  stresses that keep us from feeling ebb away like the receding tide.

The  pools of water left by the low tide and warmed by the sun beckon to be entered. Yesterday, while relaxing there the taste of pure peace filled my heart. Full body,belly rising,lungs expanding heart opening breathing while lying in the womb of the Great Mother,I was floating in bliss. With eyes closed and facing toward the direction of the sun I saw,felt,tasted,smelled and heard the moment and it was divine.

Now,sipping my coffee,listening to the birds,seeing the ocean from the elevated view our cliff dwelling offers and loving it all I know that now is exactly where I want to be,greeting this new day.

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly,what is essential is invisible to the eye".
