We asked the teachers from our Bliss Out Weekend on what bliss means to them, and this is what they had to say.
bliss is inhaling + exhaling love
“Bliss is feeling inspired and feeling the effortless uplift of unconditional love – to know my love has a place to land and to surrender to what wants to unfold. We can create bliss by breathing. In order to achieve bliss, we must create the context. You can’t manufacture bliss but you can tend the inner garden in which it exists. Be prepared to feel the opposite [of bliss], as its the same muscle. When you meet someone, see if you can leave them richer than before, and continue to practice random acts of kindness. Finally, identify what you can be grateful for – and remind yourself to breathe…” – Anthony Abbagnano, Alchemy of Breath Conscious Breathwork founder + triyoga guest teacher
bliss is a state of pure grace
“To me, bliss is a confirmation of [the] most important contention there is with what is changeless and untouched by [the] impermanence of time and space. In that state of pure grace, we are reminded of our home in singularity of what’s truly real beyond all appearances”. – Slavomir Latko, sound healing + massage therapist
bliss is something always within you
“Bliss is something that is always within me. The problem is, I often forget it is there, or forget how to access it. That’s what my practice is for – just a few minutes of steady breathing, to reconnect with my surroundings and my interior landscape, can be all that is needed to be reminded that bliss resides within me, and that I have the power to access it. Bliss is a flavour, a scent, a shiver, a moment of spaciousness. It is like being in a vacuum where I am aligned with every single molecule in the universe – even if just for a split second. It is a lifelong practice to keep this doorway to bliss well-oiled and within reach.” – Joo Teoh, qigong + yoga teacher
bliss is the collection of little things
“Bliss is about the little things, the small moments you capture – clean fresh bed sheets, a delicious cup of steaming coffee, an exchange of a smile caught with a stranger in the street, the noise of horses hooves on the ground, the dappled sunlight under a shaded tree, the smell of the shirt of someone you love.” – Cal Wansbrough, yoga teacher
