Beyond all polarities, I am

Let the judgments and opinions of the mind
Be judgments and opinions of the mind

And you exist behind that

𖥸 The three expressions of self ~

𖥸 Brahman - The infinite, timeless, cosmic, absolute self, the essence of totality, singular.

𖥸 Jiva - Individual consciousness, plural, soul, spirit within. Jiva is a time-bound expression of Brahman, a time bound expression of the absolute timeless.

𖥸 Ahamkara - Ego, mistaken identity. Ahamkara is the hallucination of self. It exists on the level of your mind, in the structures of thoughts, labels and identities. It is separate, a story of the lower mind. It exists in a state of isolation.

𖥸 The Medicine Buddha Mantra is extremely powerful for the healing of physical +mental illnesses, +purification of negative karma for oneself +others. It can also allow one to overcome spiritual sickness, attachment, hatred+ ignorance. It’s recommended to chant the Mantra in a low tone in rounds of 12. (eg 54 or 108 times)

𖥸 It’s believed that any living being who hears the Medicine Buddha Mantra, will never get reborn into the lower-realms. The power in this Mantra is due to Medicine Buddha’s compassion. In the past when he was a bodhisattva, he made so many prayers +strong compassionate dedications for his name to be wish fulfilling +bring happiness.

𖥸 It’s no coincidence that the words meditation and medication are only one letter different. They both come from the same Latin root word, Medeor, meaning ‘to heal or to make whole’.

𖥸 In the West our medical focus is on the external curing of symptoms, while Eastern traditions focus more on the internal or addressing the mental issues of illness.

𖥸 Medicine Buddha meditation is a healing practice treasured by many of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. We can practice it for ourselves or for someone we care about who is Ill.

𖥸 We practice the meditation not to replace mainstream medical treatment but to complement it. The practice purifies +removes the underlying karmic causes of disease, +cultivates the causes for holistic well being. Such may be the power of our practice that we experience significant improvements in the symptoms too.

𖥸 Medicine Buddha is much about the mind as it is the body. Empirical evidence shows that when we meditate we trigger a self repair mechanism in our bodies. We stop producing cortisol +adrenaline, +instead enhance the production of immune boosting endorphins +serotonin. Arming our bodies against invasive bacteria, viruses +other imbalances. These changes also promote positive mental health.

𖥸 An element of confidence in the practice is helpful, the meditation has been practiced for 1000’s of years. If we have confidence that it can work for us, then we’re off to a good start.

𖥸 Buddha Bhaisajyaguru, known as the master of remedies, or Medicine Buddha, sits cross legged on a lotus throne. His most distinctive feature is his deep blue lapis lazuli colour; which symbolises purity +rarity + is said to have a curative or strengthening effect on those who wear it.

𖥸 In his right hand he holds a myrobalan branch, an important compound of several Tibetan medicines. In his left hand, he holds a bowl containing three forms of nectar to cure disease, counteract ageing, +to illuminate the mind.

👋🏼 I’ve been a little quiet on here as you will know! These last few months I’ve been immersed in deep study with another 300 hour yoga teacher training, growing baby number 2, teaching yoga classes, parenting, creating a tarot deck, as well as enjoying a mini holiday over the Christmas period.

I’ve decided I’ll keep teaching yoga classes for a couple more months before I take a break as I transition back into life with a new born. If you haven’t made it to one of my classes yet and have been wanting to, now is the time! We have been journeying through our yin asanas along with an assortment of kriya, breathwork and meditative practices!

✨ Yin Yoga Classes at The Yellow Church this week as follows ~

Monday 11/1 Yin Yoga ~ 5.30pm

Wednesday 13/1 Myo-Yin Yoga ~ 5.30pm

For my regulars, I’m excited to see you all again in this New Year 💫

And for anybody new to yoga and feeling the call I’d love to see you on the mat, in the beauty of the Yellow Church space

Blessings ✨

✨ Yin Yoga returns to The Yellow Church this upcoming week. Classes as follows ~

Monday 11/1 Yin Yoga ~ 5.30pm

Wednesday 13/1 Myo-Yin Yoga ~ 5.30pm

Monday’s Yin class will focus on detoxing the Liver and Gallbladder Meridians following the festivities of the silly season, as well as bringing focus to the heart and small intestine as we tune into the energy of summer.

Wednesday’s Myo-Yin class will have a focus on the lower body, especially beneficial for those of you who are runners or are constantly on your feet 🦶

Excited to see you all again in this New Year 💫

Ballerina or runner?

The angle of inclination of the neck of the femur (thigh bone) will determine how much movement occurs in the hip joint. The more slanted the angle, the greater the range of motion (ROM).

More is not always better though. It always depends on what you want to do with your hips.

A ballerina would prefer more range as her profession requires her to maximise that reach in order to look impressive in her dance. An Olympic runner may prefer otherwise, as his profession requires more stability in his movements. Giving him more range may adversely affect his running performance. The limited range that he has actually saves him energy and renders him more efficiency and power to perform his forward sprint.

More ROM is great for exercises that require flexibility but bad for those that require speed. You may be more flexible but you are also slower. So it really depends on what do you want to do with the bones that you have.

The shape of our bones are pretty much fixed by the time we reach puberty. You cannot change it (unless you go for aesthetic surgery).

So when practising yoga (or any other movement modalities), it is vital we respect the limitations of our (which is in our DNA), and work within "our own healthy range" instead of imitating what others can and we cannot.

(Check the other post about the anatomy of the acetabulum )

Learn all about and in our next trainings and learn how to apply them safely to your poses or teachings.

Just 2 more weeks, or 4 more yin yoga classes, at the Yellow Church this year before it’s time to switch off on holiday mode. We will be placing extra focus on releasing built up stress and excess heat in the system, through various breakwork, kriya and asana. If you’re feeling the need to balance your system and prepare your liver for the silly season ahead, be sure to pop by.

See you on the mat 🙏🏼💫

❁❁ Happy Spring Equinox ❁❁ Ostara Blessings ❁❁

On Tuesday the Earth’s hemispheres are equal distances from the sun, +from then onwards, we in the Southern Hemisphere will begin tilting closer towards the sun. Every day that passes bringing a little more warmth +stretching a little longer.

Considered a sacred time, a natural revival, a return of the force of life itself; Spring is a time for cleansing, manifesting, new beginnings, expansion +creative growth ❁❁

This Monday’s Yin class we will be focusing on bringing this Spring balance to our internal sphere. With cleansing asanas to balance the Liver +Gallbladder Meridians, guided breath-work, visualisations +manifestation meditations ❁❁

Also in line with the expanding energy that is Spring, Rise yoga is expanding its weekly classes to include an early morning Sun Salutation Ritual on Tuesdays, +a Wednesday evening Myo-Yin class to roll your knots, accumulated stress +worries away ❁❁

With offers for attending two or more classes per week, +a mixture of both dynamic +mellow classes, now symbolises an opportune time to bring your yin +yang into balance ❁❁

New classes begin in October. For more information see link in bio ❁❁

The practice itself will change you from the inside out. The key is doing it.’ ~ Krishna Das ❁

The last month has been jam packed with plenty of family time, hiking + adventures in nature, + maintaining my daily yoga practice. Here’s me dancing on top of ‘The Castle’ in Girraween National Park. Feeling refreshed + with more pep in my step, ready to resume teaching Monday evening Yin classes at The Yellow Church. ❁

This coming Monday’s class we will be focusing on Kapha’s energy as we move into the season of Spring. ❁ We will be working with the Earth + Water elements, + the root + sacral chakras.

If your practice has fallen by the wayside during winter, or you feel drawn to plug in + recharge as the external energy begins to expand around you, spring is synonymous with new beginnings, + so marks the perfect time to start or pick up your practice. If you feel the call, join me on the mat ~

Monday 5.30pm ~ 6.30pm, The Yellow Church, Mullumbimby, $20 per person ❁

~ Also, watch this space for fresh classes beginning in October ~ ❁❁
