More Shivanautical postings.

So. There are actually lots of people write posts about Shiva Nata and I’m always meaning to tell you about them and then I forget.

Some stuff from the ether. I mean, from the fabulously flailing Shivanauts.

It’s like kung fu, but without the killing.

My thoughts exactly!

Loved this post from Bill about doing Shiva Nata at the North Carolina retreat.

Patterns get built and systematically taken apart before they’re rebuilt. It messes with your head and the rest of you too.

The rest is here.

Flailing without failing.

This one is from Amy about how the not-failing kind of flailing is helping her feel less like an uninspired poo-poo head.

Which is a wonderful thing to read.

Conscious awareness and your job hunt

Love how Miriam brings wacky awareness stuff into the very traditional thing of job-finding.

She’s been playing with Shiva Nata and figuring out how to work the concepts into her work.

Which is a totally Shiva Nata thing to happen, because that’s what happens when you start seeing the connections between everything. Awesome.

Even Havi calls it “wacky,” and it is nothing if not a bit unconventional – teaching your brain to act differently by focusing on patterns, deconstructing them and building new ones!

Shiva Nata for perfectionism.

Thorin wrote a terrific piece about dancing away perfectionism with the Dance of Shiva stuff.

It’s extraordinary.

When I’m doing Shiva Nata, and I get totally lost and just start flailing around, I feel so…free. I feel completely elated. I laugh. Hell, I giggle. Because I’m silly, and it feels good. Just like when I was a kid.

So thanks for helping me give myself permission to be silly again.

Isn’t that the loveliest thing? I think so too.

Okay. I’m sure I’ve missed a bunch. So if I’ve missed yours, let me know in the comments so I can not make that mistake again.
