Monday Mudra - Hakini Mudra - Integration 🫶🌐🌏

Hakini is the goddess associated with the third eye, the center of inner wisdom and Hakini mudra supports the unfolding of wisdom within all the
dimensions of our being.

This gesture facilitates Full Yogic Breathing, which naturally supports the integration of all areas of the body, enhancing our sense of embodiment.

Hakini mudra opens both nostrils evenly, bringing equilibrium to the right and left sides of the body, as well as the active and receptive, masculine
and feminine aspects of our being, naturally instilling a sense of integration and harmony.

The integration and harmony cultivated by Hakini mudra optimizes health and healing at all dimensions of being. At the physical level, this gesture enhances circulation to all of the systems of the body, supporting them in functioning harmoniously.

This harmony within the body is further enhanced by the balance of all five elements cultivated by this gesture. At the subtle level, this gesture activates and integrates all five prana vayus while opening and balancing the first six chakras.

At the spiritual level, this gesture naturally draws out awareness to the third eye, Ajna chakra, which is the command center for the integration of all the dimensions of our being.

This overall integration at physical and subtle levels is symbolized by the global shape of the hands in Hakini mudra, representing our inherent wholeness and unity.

It's been a while, so I thought it was time to pull out the Sacred Rebel Oracle deck again and see what wisdom we can glean from the ether.

Find a comfortable seat and sit back to receive this wisdom 🙏

Monday Mudra 👉👈
Shakata Mudra - Spiritual unity 🪷

Sushumna, which means "very gracious," is the central nadi, the main channel of subtle energy located within the spinal column.

This channel is visualized as a column of crystal light, running from Muladhara chakra at the base of the body up to sahasrara chakra at the crown of the head.

The crystal light within this column is a reflection of our luminous essence as pure Consciousness.

The awakening of Sushumna nadi occurs naturally as lda and
Pingala nadis, our lunar and solar channels, come into complete harmony.

As our awareness and energy are awakened within the central channel, we experience the qualities of our essential being, including bliss, timelessness,
limitlessness, wholeness and an all-pervading sense of unity.

The experience of these qualities is initially temporary, but as the spiritual journey proceeds,
they are integrated into all of our activities.

As these qualities become our lived reality, all sense of limitation is released, allowing us to experience the freedom of our true being.

Shakata, which means "vehicle," refers to Sushumna nadi as the vehicle for Shakti Kundalini, the energy of spiritual awakening that remains dormant at the base chakra and gradually rises upward along the spiritual journey.

Shakata mudra directs breath, awareness and energy into both nostrils, both lungs and both sides of the body evenly, balancing the autonomic nervous system, facilitating the harmony that supports spiritual awakening.

The extended index fingers are symbolic of Ida and Pingala nadis, whose integration naturally awakens Shushumna nadi.

This gesture creates space between thoughts and calms the emotional body, cultivating inner silence that allows us to rest in pure Consciousness for longer periods.

Balance, strength, focus. Half Moon Pose is where confidence meets grace. ✨🌙

Steph takes you through a quick look at this deceptively tricky pose.

Half Moon Pose Ardha Chandrasana is a joyful blend of stability and expansion.
In this reel, we explore how to root through the supporting leg, open through the heart and hips, and lift into that radiant floating feeling the pose is known for.

Practising Half Moon regularly can:
✨ Build strong, steady legs
✨ Improve balance and proprioception
✨ Open the chest and side body
✨ Strengthen the core
✨ Boost confidence and focus
✨ Ignite that delicious feeling of spaciousness and lightness

It’s a pose that reminds us we can be grounded and luminous at the same time, just like the moon itself. 🌙

💚 Give Half Moon a try and let yourself shine.
