September Newsletter and Sankalpa Meditation

Intend

What qualities would I like to embody today?

Sankalpa

What is it that I want to achieve in this life?

Be willing to hear the desires of your heart

Do you know what you want for your life?

There is no need to fix anything but rather reveal the parts that have been covered up

Movement Focus

The physical focus of our practice will be opening the quads, chest, hamstrings and working with thigh stretches in our poses.

Meditation

Sankalpa Meditation

Take a seat.

Get quiet and comfortable.

Relax your shoulders, your face, and let your hips be heavy to the Earth.

Turn your left hand, palm up, in line with your heart.

Move it across the current of your heart and place it palm up on your right thigh.

Place your right hand on top of your left, palm down.
Clasp your hands softly and cradle your heart’s desires.

This is Sankalpa mudra.

Close your eyes, soften the outwards gaze, turning your sight inwards, towards your heart.

Soften the space between the eyes all the way back to the center of the brain, the third eye, the seat of all knowing.

Draw the breath in from both nostrils, imagining a soft light entering.

Let the light soothe your mind, feeling the light expand and take it to your heart.

Let it fill up this area.

Listen.

What message do you receive?


Find a place to hold the words near your heart and repeat them daily. When we set our sankalpa each day, we bring more focus, more attention to what it is we need to achieve and thereby redirect our energy to where it needs to go.
Things will shift for you slowly. The intention will take form as we set it into action with our words, deeds and thoughts.

Be there to see the change.
