Flowers appear in the cracks of rocks; Light shines through clouds in wondrous formations; daffodils appear even on dull, dark, windswept days.

"I did not know I had it in me "is a very lyrical statement. I can surprise myself in lyrical.

It is the most intricate of the 5 Rhythms® . In Lyrical we realise that we are 'works-in-progress'. Nothing is fixed, especially our identities. We learn about self-realisation and detachment.

It is the most elusive of the rhythms. Lyrical comes in the aftermath of chaos. If we do not let go of our physical resistance, our emotional baggage, our attachment to our thoughts, we remain stuck in chaos. If we truly let go in chaos we begin to lighten up and allow the experience of lyrical to move through our bodies.

Lyrical is the rhythm of air. When we let go to lyrical our imaginations are liberated. We are whoever we imagine ourselves to be.

In the life cycles lyrical is linked with maturity. We may not have control over the things that happen to us in our lives but we do have power over how we choose to respond to them. We take full responsibility for our own lives. As we grow up hopefully we can lighten up.

Lyrical is the rhythm where we learn the deep meaning of acceptance of the present moment and the profound joy that can come from that acceptance. We learn to make space for all that can happen in our lives and not need to control each experience. We learn the lessons of impermanence, where nothing stays the same for very long. We come to realise that the only thing we can rely on is change.

In Lyrical we realise we have the freedom to keep shifting energies so we never have to get stuck in any one possibility, any one identity.

Like the other rhythms lyrical has its shadow side. When lyrical is not grounded, we run the risk of getting caught up in our fantasy or daydream or need to escape that we disconnect from our bodies and become spaced out.
