Food is nourishment and medicine alike and if we understand the natural mechanics as addressed in TCM we can support our body in preventing and balancing ailments on a physical and mental-emotional level.

This meditation is known as ancient therapy. When we are confused and inner conflict blocks our ability to think and act clearly, our mind's prana, or energy, is scattered. This exercise holds the breath out, creating an empty space in which the energy is asked to reorganize itself. Through this we can return to a healthy state of mind and body, find peace and acceptance as we drop the worrisome thoughts. This practice needs dedication and focus and over time our patterns will heal themselves.

In this demanding Kundalini Yoga set we are harnessing the ida and pingalla, the feminine and masculine qualities and energies within the physical, the mental and the energetic body. We are moving through a sequence of heating core strengthening movements in turn with units of deep relaxation. Mental and physical stamina and resilience are the benefits of this set. We end in 9 minutes of mantra meditation to access clarity, serenity and connection to our inner wisdom.

In this slowed down earth-bound practice you will explore the meridian pathways through deep compression, surrender and the guidance of your breath. We will use bolsters and props to help support and open the body for a truly relaxing and restoring experience. The intention of this practice is to help you to feel truly safe, build resilience and allow the body and mind to process your emotions in a safe and supportive way.

In this nurturing Reiki transmission we will be reminded of our strength and resolve as we uncover the layers of self-healing. We allow our inner feminine presence and energy to be supported by the Divine Masculine so that we can feel safe in our receptivity and creativity. Towards the end we tap into the Solar Plexus to support healthy boundaries, inner connection, and a sense of self-worth. Please return often to allow for a continued process of self-nurturance and devotion.

I will guide you through an intuitive journaling exercise that invites you to receive answers from your subconscious and intuition. Please refrain from answering the prompts. Rather, write them out mindfully, set them to the side and do something nice for yourself. Relax, and allow the answers to naturally rise to the surface. Revisit these questions regularly during your healing process to uncover the various layers. Say words of gratitude to yourself for the amazing work you have done!
