Monday Mudra on a Tuesday :)

Pingala mudra - Gesture of the solar nadi - dynamism

Pingala, which means "reddish" or "fiery," is the name for the solar nadi the
subtle channel of warming energy that runs along the right side of the spine
from Muladhara chakra at the base of the body up to the third eye, and then
down to the right nostril. The energy within this channel is related to surya
meaning "sun." It is vitalizing and energizing and is associated with vibrant colors, such as orange, red or golden sunlight.

Pingala nadi encompasses the dynamic, masculine qualities, such as rationality, logic, determination, assertiveness, detailed planning and a sense of control over one's own destiny.

As we embody all of these qualities, we are able to clarify our life purpose and
channel all of our talents to manifest it fully.

Pingala mudra activates the free flow of energy within Pingala nadi, naturally awakening all of the solar qualities.

This gesture directs breath, awareness and energy into the right nostril, right lung and right side of the body.

This mudra lengthens the inhalation as well as the pause at the end of the inhaling breath.

This more energizing breath activates the sympathetic nervous system, naturally increasing metabolism, heart rate and blood pressure while instilling an overall feeling of vitality.

Pingala mudra generates an overall feeling of warmth, especially in the right side of the body.

This mudra enhances
the breath in the area of the solar plexus, stimulating digestion.

Pingala mudra increases alertness and concentration, supporting us in planning and defining our goals as well as envisioning the steps needed to achieve them.

At the psycho-emotional level, this mudra instills a sense of empowerment and determination, giving us the strength and energy to manifest our life purpose
completely.

Monday Mudra - Seeking Divine refuge

When we turn to the Divine in challenging times, we recognize a greater
intelligence that can support and guide us through challenging times that seem beyond our control.

As we turn to the Divine for support, we open to
receive the clarity that allows us to gain a wider perspective of the challenge we are facing, assisting us in finding a solution more easily.

Divine guidance can also provide insight and wisdom so that the conditions that created this present challenge are less likely to occur in the future.

As we take refuge in the Divine in times of need, our perception of our challenge is gradually transformed and we come to see that every obstacle we encounter server to guide us along our journey.

With this wider perspective, we are able to explore difficult situations, acknowledging their deeper meaning as vehicles
for awakening to greater understanding.

Hridaya means "heart," and Hridaya mudra cultivates a space of inner refuge in which we can turn to the Divine for support and solace.

This gesture directs breath, awareness and energy into the heart center, cultivating a sense of trust and safety, allowing us to acknowledge our feelings and explore all the dimensions of the challenging situation we are facing.

This gesture helps to calm the heart and release stress-related tension from the chest.

Hridaya mudra also instills a greater sense of confidence in meeting challenges which reduces the effects of stress and supports the health of the immune system.

The lengthening of the inhaling breath, cultivated by this gesture, provides the energy needed to meet challenges more effectively. The exhalaion is also lengthened, instilling a sense of relaxation and release that supports us in dealing with challenges more calmly and objectively.

We've got the first of this year's delectable Restorative Sound Journeys coming your way in April. Ding, Ding!

Close your eyes for a moment…

You’re lying down, completely supported, as the soft echo of rain, 🌧️🌈the gentle hum of singing bowls, and the delicate chime of sound vibrations ripple through your body like a quiet rainforest at dusk. 🌲

Your breath slows.
Your mind softens.
Your whole system begins to unwind.

This is your invitation to step out of the noise of everyday life… and into something deeply nourishing.

Join me for a 90-minute restorative sound journey where we’ll begin with gentle, intuitive movement to release tension, ease into calming breathwork, and then settle into stillness as you’re bathed in the healing frequencies of Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, rainsticks, and chimes.

This practice is designed to:
• Calm your nervous system
• Melt away stress and tension
• Support better sleep and deeper rest
• Bring your mind and body back into harmony

In a world that constantly asks you to do more, move faster, and think harder… this is your space to simply be.

We’ll close with a warm cup of herbal tea, gently guiding you back, feeling grounded, clear, and completely restored. 🍵💫

Yesterday I was way to tired to do any work so I took myself out to the backyard and lay down on the grass and just rested. It was exactly what I needed.

Unplugged and surrounded by nature. My cat eventually followed me out and snuggled down next to me.

Sometimes all we need is to switch off for a while. Slow down, and appreciate the simple things.

Love this girl, she's definitely my spirit animal 😻
