Group Meditation: The Great Leap from the Ego Centered Self to the Heart Centered Soul (the living tree of our nerve plexus centers)

Will you be joining us as we review the inner and outer work of activating, balancing, and aligning our nerve plexus centers (chakras)?  The real path of yoga was bestowed upon us so that we could attain our full development and potentiality as spiritual beings experiencing physical form.  The work or path which involves tending to the quality of thoughts in our mind through the practice of ethics (1-yamas & 2-niyamas), taking care of the body and posturing it for proper life force circulation and movement (3-asanas),  breath work to control how energy flows (4-pranayama), cultivating perception beyond the five senses (5-pratyahara), focusing and concentrating the mind (6-dharana), bathing the brain in meditative flows from beta to alpha to theta and beyond (7-dhyana), and dissolving attachment to individual identity to establish in the eternal self 
(8-samadhi)...are the essential eight limbs of the tree.  The deepened practice of all eight limbs provides the likelihood of genuine & profound experiences, unique to each person, of higher and higher states of present awareness and eternal truths.  They likewise directly tune up the living tree within, that of the seven nerve plexus centers along the spine. Our regular practice of the full path allows for the fruit of the tree, the fruit of our life to blossom.  Some of the sweetest fruits develop from the harmony and alignment of this living tree within like unconditional presence and love, good-will, and deep compassion to name a few...

In this Fridays meditation workshop, we will talk further about the struggle most find themselves, going from instability to stability to instability of basic needs at the root plexus or chakra, the imbalance between the masculine & feminine expression in the sacral plexus, and the overfeeding of the ego at the solar plexus.  Such has been the prevalent struggle of humankind...the oscillating and often reckless or haphazard approach to living often throwing these centers so off course that thriving self-development is halted.  This oscillating and haphazard approach is often the cause for the 'stuckness' or disempowerment most feel when they can't seem to get a hold of their lives or live deeply fulfilling lives.  Such is the state of affairs for many including the world at large with its inequalities between rich a poor, dominating patriarchal systems, and image driven marketing for example.  

So it is a great leap we face to move from the ego self to the heart soul not just for the individual but for our communities and world.  Each plexus is the foundation for the next essentially and like a tree that needs solid ground to safely extend its roots, we need those roots for our healthy expression into the duality of life.  From that expression we are able to find our identity, the trunk of our tree at our navel.  These three stages are critical to whether we open at the heart and branch upward.  Because of the constant struggle at these first three, the leap to real opening of the heart is a great one.    

This Friday, we will spend the majority of our time however, on the heart plexus which is the strongest electromagnetic resonance of all the centers. How important it is therefore, to cultivate pure intention here.  Also on the throat center and how vital it is to utilize words and our voice to carefully craft our reality.  The third eye center as well and the importance on diet  & visualization via meditation to keep our blissful hormones flowing. Last, the crown center...the seat of the Atman...our highest self, and what it takes to operate from here more often.  To the atman, the place where we have an expanded and overarching perception beyond the physical form and can develop therefore, an empowered and aligned way of being not so vulnerable to the extreme highs and lows of the other centers. 

Our guided meditation will help to refine our yoga practice because of our focus on the real inner and outer work with these nerve plexus centers of the spine.  These centers are responsible for our individual tendencies and unique psychological profile.  What an art it is to understand, balance, & align them so as to arrive at a more refined self.  To living and tuning up the living tree of yoga within.  

...Om Mani Padme Hum...
I like to call it, the polishing of the diamond gem within.  Without the inner and outer work, it simply doesn't shine in radiance or come into its highest potential.  

To the governance of the heart and the plexus centers functioning in vertical, beautiful harmony...

Group Meditation & Workshop activate, balance, & align our unique psychology


Group Meditation & Workshop
activate, balance, & align our unique psychology

The axiom 'as above so below' is a cosmic law that governs the very nature of things including our inner workings of our mind and how it interplays with the spectrum of our emotions.  Like our universe of spinning galaxies with vortexes of energy, so too do we have the universe of spinning energies within our very body.  It is our energetic anatomy, our energy biology from which our unique psychological tendencies came through.  These imprints and expressions of our soul and our responsibility to activate & align and balance & ground them is the path of the stars.

There are seven primary nerve plexus or psychology centers.  The first is where the nerves come to a vortex at the base of our spinal chord, the tree of life.  Here, we experience some of the most primal emotions responsible for our survival in this physical form.  Above our pubic bone another vortex of nerves that allow us to experience emotions or energy in motion that are in contrast, our masculinity and femininity.  Moving up to the navel plexus of nerves the energy concentrates on emotions of individual expression in the world and identity of who and what we are.  Forth, to the most powerful, electromagnetic frequencies of the heart. What a dire leap it is to psychologically transform the thought waves and hardwiring of our minds to move from an ego centered self to a heart centered soul!  For the heart, the point at which our vertical and horizontal planes meet, the point where the heavens touch down and kiss the earth, is the sacred cross of our evolution.  With emotions of love, compassion, and divine community expressed here, OR of hate, intolerance, and the hell of separation or disconnectedness, the activation, balancing, & aligning of our unique psychology from the roots of our tree UP, becomes all too pertinent.  For what quality of sweetness is our fruit, what quality of spirit have we to show for ourselves.  
In this group meditation & workshop, we will focus on the first three plexus centers of energy, of e-motion and navigate through their activation, balancing, & aligning of their expressions through breathwork, posturing, & meditation.  


You are invited to join us and share in what makes our human experience so profound...the inner work of refining how we each individually function and feel and how the ancient path of yoga enables us to feel empowered by the spectrum of emotions.  The energy that runs through our systems are a celebration of this human form for us to evolve and refine the diamond gem within...and like a diamond it takes pressure, cutting, refining, & polishing to shine!
