Often, when my students or clients are struggling with deep places of contraction and isolation, they will tell me they feel like a worm. This seems to be some kind of collective image for a place where we feel small, helpless and cut off from the nourishment bubbling up from inside.  Rumi refers to it here:

There is a worm addicted to eating grape leaves.
Suddenly, he wakes up,
call it Grace, whatever,
something wakes him, and he is no longer a worm.
He is the entire vineyard, and the orchard too,
the fruit, the trunks,
a growing wisdom and joy
that does not need to devour.

Rumi

This is what I am offering you, if you come to ‘The Yoga of Effortless Being’ 5 day retreat-- a chance to discover for yourself what this deep wellspring within is--how to connect with it, and how to receive this nourishment in your body, in your heart, and in your mind.
