Bobinsana Dream Yoga, Dharma, and Trans-gender
My spiritual practice and therapeutic practice is deeply connected to gender performance and trans self-expression.
The flows, questions, and answers of masculine and feminine energies are topics of ancient discussion.
Celebrations of trans body and trans voice exist in many faiths and lineages.
Re-discovering and embracing love of my trans voice has resulted in abundance: more curiosity, more courage, more creative output!
One of my creative outlets is devotional singing through Bobinsana dream yoga.
Practicing yoga with the Bobinsana flower is a formal communion with a lucid dreaming master plant. Under supervision of a spiritual teacher, I have an ongoing dream yoga practice that includes "collecting" or "catching" melodies from dreams.
The moment the melodies are sung out loud (instead of staying locked in a dream), they become Dharma songs. Eventually they are matched with scriptural verses and inspirational quotes from multi-faith sources. This is what I currently aim to offer as a creative product from my yogic practices.
The body of works of Dharma, of many spiritualities, is sometimes called a vast ocean. If that's the case, than music feels like a vehicle on which to sail the body of Dharma.
Dharma songs are currently being shared and taught live via voice sessions, community circles, and events (both in-person and virtual).
