Would you say you are a “look at the moon” type of person? Are your eyes drawn to the sky toward her pale, slivery light? Do you feel the intimate bond you share with the moon and how well you fit into the rhythms of nature?
Many traditional cultures revere the moon as a manifestation of the divine feminine force in nature. According to hatha yoga, this force also resides within us. Whereas solar energy is warm, active, and outwardly oriented, lunar energy is cool, receptive, and inwardly focused. Like a loving mother the moon can teach us to slow down, listen to our own needs and be receptive to change.
This class takes you through guided Viloma Breathing which lengthens the exhalation helping to settle the mind ready for meditation. The meditation which follows will help you to honour your feelings and requires you to ask the following questions:
The feelings I have been experiencing a lot of lately are…
The things that have been causing me tension lately are…
The feelings I want to experience more of in life include…
The activities and people that bring me the most joy, meaning, and connection are…
Some things I could stop doing so I could better align with how I want to feel are...
It may be a good idea to have a pen and paper handy for afterwards so that you can write any insight down.
