Practices to get you started
Practice, prompts & supports to get you started
An extra gift for you! These practices and meditations are here to help you deepen into your journey & connection to that clarity & confidence in your self.
You might add a practices in once / week (or more), and then use the meditations in the morning, for a mid-day break, or before bed for full relaxation & preparation for sleep. Each practice & meditation has a write-up with it for recommendations on when & how to use it.
Starting this series off, we set the foundations for the work we'll do with some self inquiry, and a practice to move energy in the lower centres and bring more balance and connection to our sense of inner safety, desire, and confidence.
The invitation is to come back to the practice throughout the next week. The Live session talk & practice, and journal prompts & reflections from this week will be posted here for you to return to, can be accessed anytime to keep you deepening into your truth.
This week we're digging deeper into the source of clarity and confidence, and the influence the mind has in these realms. The discourse, practice and journal prompts all have a strong theme of disentangling from the habit thoughts of the mind, and anchoring into the felt sense of trust in our truths.
The invitation is to come back to the practice each day for the next week. The videos and pdf are here for you, and can be accessed anytime to keep you deepening into your truth.
This week we continue to connect to the energy of the naval & heart, to strengthen that pathway & coherence. In addition, we work with releasing what's no longer needed, and might be obscuring our view.
In this final week of our series, we come back to the remembrance of the deepest truth, that you ARE clear, you are confident at your core. It's all the other stuff that gets in the way & veils that clarity. Often, the mind interfering, and convincing us that we "are" our thoughts or emotions, something other than pure love & light.
Which is why we have the 2 wings of Abhyasa and Viaragya - the guiding forces that show us how to keep that door open to our true selves. And discovering your own purpose for coming to the practices that keep that connection strong, is so valuable for building sustainability in your life.
As we continue on this journey, after the live sessions are complete, I invite you to explore and find what you're called to. Maybe you stay with the format of a new practice each week, or stick with one practice for longer.
There are specific time markers in yogic technology that have more potent cumulative affects. If you are invested in working with the practices for a longer duration, you might consider staying with one practice for:
11 day: builds a habit
40 days: changes a habit
90 days: confirms the new habit
120 days: the new habit is who you are
1000 days: master the new habit
I hope we'll keep in touch, and if you find yourself wanting to expand your practice, and deepen into the experience of YOU through yoga, I would love to connect in more ways. Check my website for more virtual offerings and in-person opportunities (like drop-in classes, workshops, festivals, and RETREATS!) to keep you coming back to the TRUE you!
