The Breath.
There is the most beautiful connection that we have with Mother Earth as she provides our oxygen through plants. In exchange we exhale their need of carbon dioxide. This yin yang balance happens naturally as our innate wisdom automatically facilitates without needing to be controlled. Close your eyes & tune into your breath now; is your natural breathing shallow or deep? Breath in life force energy also known as Prana. Improve your cardiovascular & respiratory systems by learning effective breathing techniques.
Movement.
Known as asanas (poses) in yoga, discover the sattvic balance to the five layers of self, known as Koshas (physical, energy, emotional, mental & bliss bodies). All these bodies are meant to be flexible as well as strong for optimal health. If you pause to close your eyes & breathe, notice your thoughts, emotions, energy level, & physical sensations. Establishing movement creates shifts in the consciousness of your identity and allows your Highest Self to access the space for healing & wellness.
Meditation.
There is an abundance of ways to practice meditation. Some options include: eyes closed, chanting, guided, sound bath, & mantra based.
On a biological level, the purpose of meditation is to support the optimal functioning of your parasympathetic nervous system (rest, digest, heal, repair mode). Thus, accessing relaxed muscles, processing of present emotions, & calming that monkey mind. In a private transmission, we can explore what options resonate with you. The more you practice, the more you will start to see & feel these benefits in your waking state of eyes open.
