Awakening to Your Inner Power and Radiance
Now that we’ve tended to our Root Chakra and started going with the flow of the Sacral Chakra, we are poised to become radiant by awakening our Third Chakra. There are several names for the Third Chakra, including Manipura (which means “lustrous gem” in Sanskrit), Navel Chakra, or Solar Plexus Chakra. Because we’re focused on…
Breath of Fire 101
Breath of Fire (BOF) is a pranayam–a yogic breathing practice–that has may beneficial effects on the body. In simplest terms, BOF is a rapid, rhythmic breath through the nose powered from the solar plexus. In Kundalini Yoga, it is a foundational breath technique that is used in many different postures and kriyas (yoga sets). BOF…
Break Through to a Whole New You! Playlist #3
Here is a playlist to help us tap into the inner power of our Solar Plexus Chakra and burst forth with radiance!
Going With the Flow
Once the Root Chakra is balanced — we feel safe and secure — the energy is free to flow to the Second Chakra. There is some debate about the precise location of the Second Chakra; for example, some say it’s seated in the genitalia and others say it’s two inches below the navel. Because it’s…
Shortest WWC Daily Practice
If you’ve been wishing or waiting for an even shorter Daily Practice video, here it is! This is great for when you’re really strapped for time, or if the set feels a bit too strenuous. Remember, listen to your body. If you your body needs a modification, the best practice is to honor your body’s…
Break Through to a Whole New You! Playlist #2
Here’s a second playlist you might like to listen to during your Daily Practice and anytime during your day. This playlist is curated to help support the Sacral Chakra by activating the Divine Feminine energy (Adi Shakti) and Creative Force of the universe (Wah Yantee, Har Haray Haree Wahe Guru, Hari Har). Enjoy as you…
WWC Practice Session, Jan. 16
Here is the recording of our Daily Practice on January 16, 2023. It’s about 30 minutes, with a 3 minute pranayam and 4 minute relaxation. There are a couple of other slight variations, if you’d like to mix it up a bit. Enjoy your practice! Sat nam.
The Meaning of Mul Mantra
In WWC Playlist #1 that I shared, I included a few versions of the Mul Mantra because we have been focusing on the Root Chakra and it is the “root” mantra. Mul means root…as in muladhara (root chakra) and mulbandh (root lock). This mantra focuses on the one Root of all…the One Creator. It comes…
Tending to Our Roots
In contemporary society, it is becoming more common for people to feel disconnected, isolated, depressed, and anxious even though we are more “connected” than at any time in history. While there may be countless factors that contribute to these feelings (pandemic, anyone?), ancient yogic wisdom attributes these issues to imbalances in the Root Chakra (Muladhara…
We Gave Clean Water!
Thank you so much to all of the members of the Wholehearted Wellness Challenge! Today, I made a donation of 10% of all proceeds to charity: water, as promised. We gave $24 and 100% of that goes directly to bringing clean water to people around the world who need it most. I encourage you to…
WWC Practice Session, Jan. 9
This is the recording from our Break Through to a Whole New You! 40-Day Wholehearted Wellness Challenge on January 9, 2023. The video is a bit longer because it includes a 3 min. pranayama (breath work) practice and a 5 min. relaxation for those who have a little more time in the morning. It’s about…
