Yoga is an intimate conversation

Yoga is an intimate conversation between you and your bodies. Through asana, we are able to nurture our earth body to support our vibrational/subtle bodies.

Pay Attention

It's not enough to set Intentions. Manifestation happens when we commit and pay Attention, focus our energy, and nurture the state of becoming.

A period of Fear or Spiritual Transformation?

There is a lot happening in the world today. For some of us we can choose if this is overall a perios of fear or spirtual transformation.

Gather your bones

Gather the lost aspects of yourself, reclaim your full being and remember how to be who you are. Inspired by La Laba story by CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTES, PH.D.

Akashic Mudra

It seems so aligned. I’m here in @ainahanau’s beautiful Red Room (Social distancing!! Just watering her beautiful herb garden and loving on kitty) where she hosts the most magical Womb Herbal Medicine classes, at the same time as I’m entering my Red Side of my Moon phase, and today’s #maymudramonth focus is centered on the Akashic Mudra. Why is this synchronistic you ask? Because for me all three are about creating a calm, healing space to release heaviness...

Varuna Mudra

Whether we are feeling emotional or need to embrace a go with the flow perspective, the Varun Mudra will cultivate the fluidity of water.

Saxcerpt – Nourish your heart

I am so excited it’s February! We worked hard in January (theme words, obstacles, path development) and now I want to ride the stress-free wave of all the hard work put in to begin the Co-Creation process of 2018. Besides, February is Heart Health Month, which means heart-openers and Anahata meditations!   I find it highly intriguing that February is founded in a purification ritual and from this space we now associate it with the heart. A transformation that...

A purification ritual

February is here. When we think of this month perhaps we think of the super bowl, leap year, the shortest month, and Valentines Day. But do you associate this month with purification rituals?    The Roman month Februarius was named after the Latin term februum, which means purification, via the purification ritual Februa held on February 15 (full moon) in the old lunar Roman calendar. – Wikipedia   I love the idea that this month is about purification. We’re coming out of...

18 health benefits of sound healing

Sound Energy Therapy improves and transforms a range of conditions, including chronic illness, allergies, compulsive behavioral patterns, trauma, grief, and much more. 

Saxcerpt: One step in front of the other

Last week we looked at the obstacles before us. I’ve been reminding myself as I review mine, that I have chosen them. With each intention/resolution that we place before us, we choose the associated challenges. It is our choice to grow in the ways that we invite in through the cultivation of our desires.   [serious-slider id=”226″]   Obstacles loom before me and I know that it manifesting isn’t instant. But instead of looking helplessly at...

Saxcerpt: What’s in your way?

Earlier this month I shared a powerful practice I began last year. I shifted my opinions toward resolutions to encompass the powerful concept of intentions. But setting our intentions isn’t enough to manifest them. We need to do the work. As we move forward into January, I encourage you to consider the obstacles that are before you. Review your intentions/resolutions/theme words, and consider what’s on your path.   Part of doing the manifesting work is identifying...

A reflection on 6 lessons from 2018

2018 was a wild year of vastly different energies woven around me creating a river of life to ride. In so many ways it felt bipolar … the ups were phenomenal that illuminated so much beauty, while the downs had me scraping at the ground like I had just found a new level of rock bottom. While I encountered a plethora of challenges and celebrated successes, there were a few ideas that helped propel me forward.

New Years 60-Second Check-In

Pause for a moment to absorb the idea that another year has ended and a new cycle is beginning. How you are right now is a reflection of this transition.

Music of the Spheres

Ever wondered where the phrase "music of the spheres" came from? Read about the history of the phrase and how it influenced the musical scales we use today!

Communications from the heart

Our heart communications are strong. There are four (4) different ways our heart communicates with the rest of our body. Practice this heart-based breath.

January Super Blue Blood Moon

Saxcerpt: 2018 Theme Words

It’s that time of year where we are setting intentions and resolutions. Last year, I wanted to strengthen the energies surrounding this space. I extrapolated from my intentions and resolutions and chose “theme words” that encompassed them. Words like compassion and beauty emerged.  I created a Mala to remind me every day of my words and to help me choose the path that continued me on my journey. I felt this was a powerful practice...

It only gets brighter from here, Winter Solstice Celebration

The Winter Solstice is upon us. The term ‘solstice’ means ‘sun stands still’ and has been celebrated since the Neolithic Ages. We in the Northern Hemisphere are in a time of the longest nights and the sun the farthest away from our tilting planet’s celestial equator. For the ancients, spiritual and cultural traditions developed into a celebration of fire and light to welcome the returning sun. It marked a new cycle, a turning of the seasons...

December Sacred Sounds

Awaken your spiritual vibrations!

Action required

Thoughts + Prayers = Useless   Last week I was scrolling through my Facebook feed in a mindless and uncommitted way. My friends’ profile caught my eye. Now, this particular friend is funny. I’ve known her since college and I associate her with humor so I was excited about what she had posted.  As I took action to zero in on her post, I saw some languidly outstretched cats that immediately made me yawn and...

Final Shamanic Gong Bath Ceremony

It fills us with so much gratitude to reflect back on this year and see how much support our community has shown us. What an honor and a pleasure it has been!! This Friday is our final Shamanic Gong Bath Ceremony.  

Wave to your brain waves

Our brain waves are produced as electromagnetic frequency through the brains pulsations and vibrations. Varying brain-wave activity correlates with a specific spectrum of frequencies. We hear about these when studying the affects of meditation, binaural beats, and sound healing on the brain as well as in dreamstate studies. Here is a quick run-down of what each of the waves is and what they are associated with:   Beta Waves(14-20 Hz):  are found in our normal waking...

Examples of Ancient Civilizations and their belief in sound

Visionary doctors and quantum physicists are now echoing what ancient civilizations once suggested: everything is vibration. In fact, many religions and spiritual paths have understandings that the world was created through sound. Here are a few examples of beliefs that the world was created through sound:   In the book of Genesis, from the Old Testament, one of the first statements is: “And God said, Let there be light.” In the Gospel according to John,...

An Eggcelent day for balance

The Equinox is upon us! The colors are starting to change and the air is taking on a brisker quality. This is a day that has been observed throughout the ages and across civilizations. I remember growing up and honoring this day by trying to make an egg balance vertically…did you ever try doing that? I remember it being a bit of a challenge and now there’s probably a whole slew of facts surrounding that old...

Equinox Glowga & Gongs

The astronomical event of the bi-annual equinox has been celebrated for eons of time. For ages, it was through the cycling of such events that time was marked and celebrated. Ancient cultures were in touch with these cycles and made accurate, circular calendars to record it. They built sacred structures that aligned with these solar cycles and have infused these days with their energies, making them powerful days.    The Autumnal Equinox is a moment of...

Patterns of Information

Saxcerpts 8.1.2017 My Beloved went to an event last Sunday with a crew of friends (I teach Sunday’s now at noon!). When he returned he was super excited about his experience and we promptly sat down so he could divulge all of his new findings to me. One of the potent aspects of the lecture was the concept of Patterns of Information. My understanding of this idea is that on a basic, molecular structure we...

Saxcerpt: Resolving your Intentions

For the first week of January, I danced in the realms of intention and resolution. I looked at the definitions, I talked in class about them, began and ended each class with the Sankalpa Mudra and flowed with it throughout our asana practice. This exploration helped me realize how they both play an important role in our lives.   The thought with which I ended, suggests that Intention is the basis of our Resolution. To...

Saxcerpt: Intending your resolutions

Happy New Years 🙂 As we ring in 2017, we reflect on the past year and contemplate the future. We consider setting resolutions to help us achieve the idea we have of what we should be doing, who we should be, what we should look like, and what our future should entail. Take a moment to reflect…four days into the new year…what resolutions have crossed your mind? Personally, I’ve had some of the same resolutions...

Gongs for Nepal

When disasters hit, the true colors of humanity are oft times revealed. When the earthquake decimated Nepal, a few of our friends were motivated into action. They organized a fundraising event, Project Nepal, to raise money to support the recovery efforts in Nepal, as well as the passion of a few of them that will be going to Nepal in a few months to lend a few extra giving hands. The event, held at the Oriental...
