This weekend, was nothing short of extraordinary — a soulful immersion led by and ,where every moment felt alive with intention, community, and heart.
The concept of the 7 Doorways resonated deeply with me and this experience brought new clarity.
As I’ve always seen the body as our home, my personal takeaway was to see each doorway as a room within a house -
Door 1. Sacred Space — The Basement, the Root
The foundation of the house.
where stability is born.
Door 2. Ignite the Spirit, Pranayama — The Lungs
The breath is the doorway that connects every room in the house. “It is the bridge between body and mind” - .
With conscious breath, every door in the house opens.
Door 3. Light the Fire
This is where movement begins, fluid and alive, like currents circulating through the rooms of our home.
In ‘Be Water, My Friend’, Shannon Lee writes about embodying water’s essence — not just in motion, but in mindset.
Door 4. Stoke the Fire — The Heart Room
The heart, the core of the house, becomes the hearth - our center of will, power, and transformation.
Door 5. Utilize the Fire — Spine & Nervous System
The fire that was sparked and stoked in the heart now travels through the hallways of the house — the spine, the nervous system, and the channels that connect every room.
Door 6. Surrender — The Rooftop / Nervous System
This is the rooftop, where walls dissolve, effort ceases, and spaciousness reigns.
Door 7. Gratitude. The Skylight / Crown of the Head
From the highest window of the house, light pours in.
This is where love, gratitude, and connection flow effortlessly into every room.
A weekend of enlightenment
Grateful beyond words for this sacred space physically and spiritually, for the teachers , for a master breath class, for special meditation experience, .rupa for filling our final flow with the magic of his violin, for assisting and for capturing these moments. Lastly, for the community that made it all feel like home.
