Vinyasa flow to Tune Into the Third Eye

“When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.” ―Kahlil Gibrán

It is a wonderful week, is it not?

Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year and the beginning of the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere, had us starting out this week on an energetic high!

As you know, when we align with the energies of nature, of the moon for example, we align with universal flow and can create and manifest the life we desire with ease. This is why we practice moon circles and intention setting rituals: to help align with lunar energy. Because, SURPRISE! We naturally take part in that energy, even if we don't recognize it anymore. A woman's body naturally sinks with the ebb and flow of the moon, just as the waves in the ocean respond to her pull. Through modernization, though, we have forgotten this, which is why it's good, from time to time at least, to reconnect.

Anyway, did you know that we can also align our energy with the sun? As the moon cycle is something that we work with each month, the sun is something we work with on a yearly basis, by celebrating the equinoxes and the solstices. The spring equinox was a time for renewal, celebrating the rebirth that comes after winter. This summer solstice, which marks the beginning of Cancer season, is a time of patience and nourishment, a time to turn inward and nurture the light within, as the sun provides the light without.

Oh, but the summer solstice isn't the only exciting thing about this week! We also had International Day of Yoga on Monday! Though I believe we should all be practicing yoga every day, IDY is definitely the day to get on the mat! What flow did you practice? Hit reply and let me know!

The energy of hundreds of thousands of people finding self-awareness on the mat has the power to change the world.

And finally, after all of this talk of energies, let's add one final one.

The chakras.

You may remember that a few weeks ago I shared a class on the Sacral Chakra?

Well, now we hop all the way up to the Third Eye Chakra, Ajna (pronounced Ahg-nya) which means to perceive or command.

This is the seat of intuition, another skill set that many have lost in modern times, myself included.

Located in the Pineal Gland, Ajna is also home to your imagination and your dreams, so it is incredibly important for this space to be clear in order for you to have those dreams to reach for!

This class is designed to breathe life into this all important energy center, with the hope of unblocking it and allowing connection to return to the Divine (however you perceive the Divine).

So, if for some reason you did not practice on IDY, then make sure you hop on this vinyasa flow today!
