Life is all about choices. Breathe. Pause. Choose to bring your life into balance. Embody your choice. Breathe...

I remember…

The women, girls, boys desecrated. Hospitals and Civilians being used as shields.

I remember the heroism of regular folks who went above and beyond their own capacities to save the life of another.

I remember those who chose humanity and risked their own safety to protect others.

I remember the stories of humanity. The fighter pilot being pointed in the right direction home, by one of the pilots he had just been engaged in a dog fight with. The sharing of rations, the truce for a Christmas Day football game.

Aren’t there rules of engagement? Have we become so savage we have forgotten humanity?

We need fire to fuel our passion, our purpose.

It takes courage to follow the beat of our own drum, our heart. It also takes discipline, in yoga that is fire energy called tapas. It brings a focus as it burns away distractions. A tenacity in the moments when passion wanes.

What if we recognised who we already are…

We so often have our priorities the wrong way around.

We think we need to have something to be someone. We must do things to get the stuff we need to have so we can be the person we want to be. That feels exhausting and confusing to even read.

What if we sat still for a moment and took stock.

Every quality we admire in others is a quality we already have; it is perhaps just buried under a hefty portion of self-doubt.

This next sentence is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow, but sometimes we need to take a bit of medicine… Those annoying qualities in others … take a breath… annoy us because they are reminding us of aspects about ourselves we don’t like.

The person we want to be, we already are.

Easy.

Kind of...

We decide which aspects of ourselves we want to cultivate. NO, not a case of toxic positivity. We do need to acknowledge the totality of who we are. However, like a garden we can choose the seeds we want to nurture and cultivate and what we might like to w**d out. Both take some effort. That is the Doing.

Doing in a way that brings us into alignment with who we truly are is an act of self-love. Although it can take some effort, will come to feel effortless, because it brings joy.

What we have becomes a reflection of who we are. Yes, we might still want a fabulous car, or a massive home. But we are choosing from a place of joy of feeling full. We are not desperately trying to fill a void from a place of lack and low self-esteem.

How many times have you miserably chased having something, so you could be whatever it was you thought would fulfil you; only to find you are still not enough. When you are centred in your beingness, YOU are invisible, unstoppable and JOYFUL.

Anger is a secondary emotion.

Anger often masks the vulnerable we experience when the primary emotions like fear, loss sadness are present. Emotions we are uncomfortable with.

Ask what is beneath the anger?

Frustration can live in an out of balance wood element. It can be reframed as learning something new, a growth opportunity.

Judgement too, when in balance is discernment.

Self loathing is the language of lack. It rage left unexpressed. It disconnects us from intimacy with ourselves an others.

Pause, an breathe when these emotions come up. Give them a little space to hear their message. These as all the emotions you experience are a part of you. Welcome them. Once you do you will notice the are ready to move on, or at the very least loosen their grip on your very being.

Grow wild and free…

Grow wild and free
Let your spirit be
taken by the wind

Run fast and far
Let your spirit soar
skyward without end

Find a space in the soil
Spread your roots without toil
amongst the tangled w**ds

Sow your seeds down deep
where the wind can’t sweep
your dreams away with the breeze.

Making the impossible possible.

Although it is interesting to understand the meaning of the manta. The sound itself, the vibration that the sound creates is most important. This is a point that is often missed with manta, especially if it is put to music. CHANTING MANTRA IS NOT SINGING. It is not the words in themselves, it is the vibration that the words create.

Kundalini Yoga Mondays at 5.15pm

Namaste mudra, prayer pose. What is mudra?

Mudra mead seal or gesture in Sanskrit. That are not limited to hands but hand gestures are usually what is associated with mudra.

Mudras are hand gestures that activate a certain element or energy in the body. The five fingers represent the five elements. The energy activation point lies on the fingertips. When the fingertips are connected, the subtle energy in your body gets activated. The thumb represents the fire element. This element represents agni within the body, and it serves to activate all the other

The index finger represents air (vayu), middle finger ether (akash), ring finger earth (prithvi) and the little finger represents the water (jal) element.

When different hand formations, or mudras, are formed, the combination of subtle elements has a powerful effect on the mind and body.

Water is a unique element, it is fluid in it’s liquid form. It becomes solid when in a frozen state and can diffuse in to a mist, a fog.

This week we play in the realm of the kidney and bladder meridians.

Kundalini energy is Shakti. The Divine Feminine. Shakti is Primordial cosmic energy. Our creative power. Shakti is PRAKRITI.

Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine has been somewhat maligned. We translate them without divinity. We tend to be too literal, as in male is masculine, a man, HE, and female is feminine, a woman, SHE. And at last, we are remembering that not all folks resonate with a binary system. This has not always been the case. Masculine and Feminine are the two polarities. The end points of the spectrum.

PURUSHA. Pure Consciousness is the Divine Masculine aspect, or Shiva. Unchanging. Unlimited. The observer. Purusha is the soul, the SELF. It is the intangible. The word Purusha literally means "man".

PRAKRITI is that which creates. It is nature in all her aspects. Prakriti literally means “creatrix”. Shakti is our essential nature. Prakriti is movement, change, energy, power. Our drive to create. Tangible. Unlike in the Western religions, Purusha did not create Prakriti.

Energy without consciousness is aimless and ignorant. Consciousness without energy remains dormant. Shiva and Shakti are in a cosmic dance; they complement and contrast each other. They are the two sides of the same coin. Oneness.

Yoga helps us move energy within ourselves to reconnect with Pure Consciousness. In a Kundalini Yoga practice, we are very much engaging with the subtle energy anatomy within us.

I had forgotten how much I love the practice of Kundalini Yoga. For the next 10 weeks I am teaching a series for the Ten Bodies. Each class is a independent class, so it is fine if you can’t make all of them…. But it would be great if you could.

To be able to let go, we must be courageous and be with what it is we would like to release.

Sometimes we aren’t ready. Somethings need a little time.

Working with the Lung and Large Intestines meridians we have an opportunity to create an inner space to explore what we are ready to acknowledge, accept, forgive and let go off with gratitude for the growth it brought.
