Yoga this Week – Sunday, June 21, 2015

Summer Solstice Blessings and Happy Fathers Day to all,

I offer you one of the oldest Vedic prayers which honors the life giving, divine power of the Sun, The Gayatri Mantra.  In Hatha Yoga (Sun & Moon),  “Ha” embodies the masculine, yang, sun energy and is based in action-oriented thinking while the “Tha” embodies the feminine, more receptive, yin, moon energies.  So it is fitting for us to honor our fathers and the powerful masculine sun energy they possess that has the ability to transform, protect and direct our thinking towards the divine plan.  This sun power is within us all to  empower and guide as we move into the energies of this active, joyful season.

ॐ भूर्भुवः॒ स्वः ।
तत्स॑वितुर्वरे॑ण्यं
भ॒र्गो॑ दे॒वस्य॑ धीमहि ।
धियो॒ यो नः॑ प्रचो॒दया॑त् ॥
Oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tát savitúr váreṇ(i)yaṃ
bhárgo devásya dhīmahi
dhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt

May we meditate on the sun,  life giver of all things, that shines upon all living beings and in the space between.  May this divine luminous power of surya also illuminate our intellects so that we may make the right decisions at the right times for the good of all concerned.

“Attention is the most basic form of love.”
~ John Tarrant Roshi

Give attention to the things that are important to you as well as realizing when you are squandering your precious moments on trivialities.  If the most basic form of love is attention, give it to yourself, give it to those around you, give it to the thoughts that empower you and set you free!!

It’s time. If you are to walk the path of heart, then it is time…”
If not now, when? If not me, who? To walk the path of the heart is a great honor. Every human has the choice to walk this path, but very few will decide to make it. Why? Well, because you can’t act and behave like everyone else behaves. You must be the person who will learn to look within. You must be the person who will be fully accountable for yourself. You must be the person who prays and meditates. You must be the person who will sacrifice. You must decide to be a Peaceful Warrior

Amy Perri, ERYT500/Reiki Practitioner & Benjamin Craig, Lic. Acupuncturist/Reiki Master

 

Rest yoga yin yang

In this amazing session restorative yoga, reiki energy healing and acupuncture are infused with aromatherapy to indulge you in an experience that was created to bring your body, mind and spirit into harmony and wholeness.

This session provides a gentle introduction to the powerful, healing qualities of acupuncture.  Each restorative yoga pose is gently complimented by acupuncture points that have the ability to release blocks, move vital chi (life force energy), boost your immune system, calm emotions and relax the mind.

  • Restorative yoga postures are supported by blankets, pillows, straps and bolsters to relieve tension, stress & open energy in the body.
  • Reiki Healing is a non-invasive channeling of universal healing energy with the intention of loving kindness  sent to the receiver.

Yoga this week – May 25, 2015

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost. – Arthur Ashe

As you celebrate this beautiful day, remember to take some time to ponder those who have lost their lives in the act of service and also the  families that live on.   
Shanti, shanti shanti.
May there be peace in our hearts, minds and world.

heart chak

A Blessed Mother’s Day to all!  I hope you enjoyed your day as much as I have.  Remember that although cultural holidays are “supposed” to be happy and joyful, they often also come with a fair amount of sadness or grief for what used to be, what we hoped would be or for who we have lost along the way.  Allow yourself to feel your feelings as much as possible.  Happiness and Sorrow are both different ends of the same stick.  Have compassion and gratitude for those around you as we honor the great mothers that surround us as well as inside of us.

May you find peace and serenity in knowing you are loved!!
