Although everything we do in Energy Medicine Yoga helps our bodies, hearts, and minds stay healthy and strong, some specific practices and systems are particularly beneficial. In March, my Energy Medicine Yoga classes will focus on this theme of protecting ourselves–internally and externally. We protect ourselves in many ways, from setting good boundaries with people, technology, social media, news, etc. to how we engage in self-care (e.g., what we eat, how we exercise). In this moment, these protection practices feel particularly crucial for our wellbeing.

Because I’m noticing certain themes in my individual sessions with people, over the next four weeks I will be covering the following topics to help bring you into balance and navigate the challenging times we are facing. Sign up for one or all of them at my website. https://tasting-mindfulness.square.site/

March 5: Getting Grounded

If your energy isn’t grounded, you will have a hard time making progress with proper energy organization. And, right now, many people are having trouble grounding their energy. The news, social media, and the consciousness of fear and anger are pulling people’s energies out of balance. Let’s start the month with making sure our energies are grounded and we have lots of yin energy coming up into our bodies from the earth.

March 12: The Aura

The aura is a multilayer sphere of energy that surrounds the physical body and interacts with the atmosphere of the earth.  Just like the earth’s atmosphere protects life on this planet, our aura protects and supports life in our bodies. This energetic bubble consists of seven layers that surround the body. Learn what each aura means and how you can create a healthy, glowing, connected aura.

March 19: Working with Your Inner and Outer Gatekeepers

The inner gatekeeper is called Circulation Sex (or Pericardium) and is responsible for protecting the heart and other internal organs. The outer gatekeeper is called Triple Warmer and is associated with the fight-or-flight response. They work together to keep you safe but they can often get unbalanced.  Learn to balance them and keep them working effectively, but not overworking unnecessarily.

March 26: Protection Practices

Many practices are protective in Energy Medicine. We will play around with a few of these as we weave them into our yoga practice. Exercises and practices, such as the Five Element flow, Vortex Revival, virus protection, netting yourself, gratitude, and more can help you end the month feeling confident and strong as you move into Spring. 

I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!!
