Hey dear community,

Summer has been full and so nourishing! I hope yours has been deeply fulfilling as well 🙏

Feeling the call for a reintroduction of myself in this ever evolving time.

I'm Asha, living on the beautiful Quw'utsun territory, also known as Cowichan Valley. I'm steeping myself within a community land project here within the forest and neighbouring a glorious river.

I have just spent the last year immersed in study as a Registered Professional Counselor, and excited to be supporting clients this fall one on one.

For the last 10 years I have been ongoingly embodying the path of Breathwave Conscious breath work, as a guide to activate the microcosmic orbit within our magnetic field and support deeper emotional healing to clear our soma and return to a deepened space of homecoming and belonging within our bodies. This practice of healing the vagus nerve channel and finding safety within the body has been an anchor for my healing and I love sharing one on one and with groups.
I'm also held and walking the path of a Rose Priestess, the lineage of soul remembrance through our body, through the love of God Goddess within us. I offer Alchemical Dance Journeys and guidance of the return to the sacred union of polarities within our center, to bring us into unity consciousness through our central axis. I am humbled by this path of service and love it so so much. Grail guardianship.

Stay tuned for offerings in person and online!

The fragrance of Her soil
Emerges as the blooms of rebirth
To drink in again the erotic essence
Of Love, Itself.

Soul
Breathing
Spirit

The deep feminine ecology
Whispers of Her return
Within the place my heart steadily aches
And I Remember my dedication to the ceremony
Of my life.

As I learn to surrender even more
I bow to the magnitude of Creator
Who I give my service to
So I bellow praise songs
From the depths of this heart broken open
That I live from.

Giving thanks for opening into Beltane's bloom
Blessed Be 🙏

A new beginning//*

Our body is a vessel for the Divine to move through. What are some ways you can honour your body in such a way that it enlivens your spirit today?

The Source of all Creation moves through YOU -- how are you treating this temple of the holy? This is a path into wholeness... your own holiness.

It can be easy to forget and neglect ourselves, listening to our nervous systems and our bodies signals and messages...however this inner listening gives us access to the core wisdom on our life path.
A clear vessel gives clear messages.

Give yourself the gift of self Love, and in turn you are loving the Divine through your own temple.

Time for some spring cleaning 🤟🌱

Joy Joy Joy
The mountains sing my soul home
Beautiful day up riding for my birthday recently

And such fun to bring my son up now and be 'teaching/witnessing' this courageous embodied boy unfold with his balance and skill

Balancing my own life with the moments to unfurl into my own freedom and pushing my bodies limits, speed and capacity alongside the need for deep restful integrative yin

Your roots entwine with us*//

A spoken word piece that came through inspired in a flow stream as I was preparing for a group leadership counselling presentation...
Feels like it came through me, not from me... and it was a sweet reminder of what I stand for

Streaming this through with a gentle Kundalini Dance with energy alignment and attunement. I recordered this a while back as a seperate piece.

An offering to you, if you'd like to receive any energetic healing through this piece then I ask your consent for that permission for any clearing and upliftment as you witness.

Blessed Be

Both the ventral vagal nerve and the sushumna channel could be viewed as energetic pathways that facilitate transformative experiences of consciousness.

In kundalini theory (Sanskrit), the sushumna is the central energy channel where spiritual awakening occurs, running along the spine. Similarly, the ventral vagal nerve connects brain and body, regulating states of safety and connection.

They both:
✨Represent potential conduits for transforming physiological and consciousness states
✨Mediate between sympathetic (activation) and parasympathetic (relaxation) systems
✨Suggest an integrative view where neurological and energetic pathways are interconnected
✨Can be seen as bridges between physical and subtle dimensions of human experience

This perspective suggests that what ancient traditions understood as energy channels, modern neuroscience might describe as neural pathways - different languages mapping similar experiential territories of human potential and transformation.

The sushumna and the ventral vagal nerve could be understood as pathways bridging the energetic centers (chakras) between the crown of head, meeting all the chakras, through the heart (Anahata chakra) and down to the root (Muladhara chakra).

The sushumna is traditionally viewed as the central spiritual energy channel where kundalini rises from the root chakra through higher energy centers. The ventral vagal nerve's neurological pathway similarly connects brain regions associated with emotional processing and physiological regulation, linking cardiac and lower bodily systems.

Both pathways suggest a holistic model of human experience where physiological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions are interconnected - a bridge between grounding and expansive states of consciousness.

My insights from discourse with claude on some ruminations

We are feeling so blessed and excited to be hosting Max Ribner this coming Friday, December 6! This is an intimate and emergent group song journey ~ collective musical magic ~ An opportunity for us to be guided in an uplifting song together that brings the inspired spirit alive!

The Experience
We welcome you all to 1st Language - an immersive sound journey creatively directed by Max Ribner and local artists.

The music creates a collective experience where the audience becomes the orchestra. Max & the accompanying artists bridge the gap between the stage and the audience by offering themselves as an anchor and providing simple melodies to sing along with. The musicians are committed to being with what’s present in the moment and thrive off of audience participation - ‘you feed us and we feed you’. The journey is co-collaborative and infused with creative improvised instrumentals.

It is our birthright to sing, to move and all be a part of music. When we sing together we can tap into a sense of belonging and interconnectedness. We can become a lighthouse to finding ourselves and seeing each other. Every part of ourselves is welcomed to be held and witnessed as part of this shared space. When we can open our palms to be with both the joyful and challenging aspects of life, we can open ourselves up to deeper freedom, harmony, and co-creativity.
