You are invited to a 5- week yoga and exploratory interactive series, held at the Heart of Awareness, Guadalupe Victoria # 101 on Mondays in May and first Monday in June from 3-5pm. You do not have to be a member of HOA to attend.
A Mandala that is a symbolic representation or our universe of relationships; of the energies that are all connectedâboth going outward as well as inward. The 5 Wisdom â Buddha Body Energies are a vehicle for self-discovery. The Basic Elements of the Buddha Families are Water, Air, Fire, Earth and Space/ Ether. Each element has a nature which can be harmful or helpful. The elements, the skandhas, the yoga postures and pranayama and Boddhisattva wisdom are woven together in each of 5 sessions.
The Five Wisdoms are explored through the elements and skandhas/aggregate parts of our existence, according to Buddhist philosophy: our body, feelings, thoughts, perception, consciousness and surroundings. Discovering our unique way of perceiving and interacting with the world offers us insight into our patterns: what we think, feel, say, and do. The energies of our outer, phenomenal world and our inner realm can be experienced through the practice of yogic postures* as different qualitiesâcontaining solidity/stillness, fluidity/movement, heat/temperature, and vibration with directions of circular, fluid, undulating, and dynamic shapes. After which we can reflect through collage, journaling, and interactive explorations.
⢠Yoga postures are standing, in chair and with somatic presence.
I welcome you to this âlaboratoryâ of self-reflection and a group contemplative format as our Mandala expands throughout the Sangha of Lakeside Communities. Please donât hesitate to contact me with questions.
A 100-200pesos âdanationâ/ love offering suggested.
