A space for healing

Chakra Body Map Art Intensive

Your soul wants to tell you something.
You have this vague yet persistent feeling that your soul wants to tell you something.  Yet you find it 
difficult to listen to its voice.  You think, maybe if I sit in meditation long enough, or if I read enough self-help books and articles, or if I travel to exotic places and retreats things will become clear, and I'll know the next step to take in life or I'll know myself better.  

​Maybe it's time to experience a different way of listening.  Art can be a way of knowing.  It can take you out of limited left brain analytical thinking and put you into an expansive right brain experience. Combine meditation and visualization with creativity, and new insights can powerfully emerge. 
​
A Chakra Body Map Art Intensive could be just the thing you need.  Read on to find out more...
The Chakra Body Map Art Intensive is a journey in creating a full body map through the lens of guided chakra meditations and Kundalini Yoga.  This workshop can give you a transformational experience of clarity and insight as you listen to your soul speak at a new level of understanding, wisdom and guidance.   ​
How does it work?  
  • We'll start by creating an outline of your full body on long brown kraft paper.  This will be a fun way to interact with others in the workshop.
  • Follow this with a session of Kundalini Yoga for the chakras will help remove blockages in the nervous system and the chakras.  The different nerve plexus are intimately connected with the chakras and when there are blockages, the true nature of the chakras cannot become manifest in our lives. So for example, if the throat chakra is blocked we're not able to express ourself well or we are fearful to speak our truth.  If the third-eye chakra is blocked we're not in touch with our intuition or we lack insight into the deeper meaning of life experiences.   
  • Follow this with a chanting meditation to increase our spiritual awareness and raise our energetic vibration. This expands the aura and takes us beyond the earthly realm.  This experience allows us to see in a different way.  Your personal journal will be handy to record any insights you have. 
  • After a short lunch, we'll experience a guided meditation for each of the chakras as you listen to your soul speak the medicine you need to hear.  Again your personal journal will be the tool to record your insights and images of areas in your life that you seek to heal or transform.  
  • Then comes the fun of creative expression as you transpose the "soul speak" onto your body map using coloured markers.  No art experience is necessary as the purpose is not to create a great work of art but instead to give expression to what your soul has told you.  Your body map might need an expression for each chakra, or maybe just a few of the chakras need to be expressed but they speak loudly enough to cover your whole map.  Each person's body map will be unique.
  • Afterwards, you'll have an opportunity to share your creative experience and your insight, and view others' body maps. 
The Body Map Art Intensive will take place Saturday, December 8th.  Check my Workshop page for further details.

Gain self knowledge through Body Map Art.
​​**BODY MAP ART AND KUNDALINI YOGA**
Come and be astounded with the messages this experience will give you about yourself and your soul's yearnings.

In this five hour workshop December 8, 2018 we'll dive into the physical and emotional aspects of each of the eight chakras.  We'll start by activating your energy with a full kundalini yoga set for the chakras.  After lunch experience a chanting meditation to elevate your creativity.  This will be followed by a session of reflection questions to help you visualize how each of the chakras manifests in your own emotional and physical bodies.  Then on to translating those images onto a full length body map. 
Only five spaces available.  No experience necessary.
We all experience similar emotional and physical challenges yet everyone's map will be different. 
​Some chakra elements we'll look at that could be translated onto your body map:
ROOT: fear/security, spaced out/grounded, blocked/prosperous
SACRAL: apathy/emotions, stifled/creative, dull/passionate
SOLAR PLEXUS: aggresive/assertive, weak willed/volition, indecisive/decisive
HEART: self hate/self compassion, cold/forgiving, jealous/open, pain/joy
THROAT: shyness/expressive, withholding/communicative, dishonesty/truth
THIRD EYE: logical/intuitive, nightmares/spiritual dreams, practical/visionary
CROWN: disconnected/connected, lost/inspired, unaware/aware
AURA: unnoticeable/radiant, weak/protected, stagnant/vibrating

During the yoga and meditation portion, and afterwards, there will be lots of prompts to self reflect on how your chakras are effecting you.  This will then be translated into images on your body map. 

WHEN:  Saturday, December 8, 2018 (only five spaces available)
             10:00 am - 4:00 pm (5 hours)
WHERE: Spryfield 
COST:    $85 (includes art supplies and lunch)
              Payment required to reserve your spot (no refunds after Dec. 2 )
REGISTER: Message me for payment information or questions
BONUS:     Tea and Lunch served

I have a crack in my tongue....

12/8/2015

Have you noticed that everyone's tongue looks different? Some are big, some are small, some are pointy, some are thick, some have bumps or cracks.  For example, if you have indentations along the outer edges it depicts malabsorption of nutrients; red patches on both sides two-thirds of the way back is a sign of candida; if your tongue is totally smooth it could be a sign of B12 deficiency.  

I have a crack in my tongue.  Yes, it's right down the centre.  I'm sure it depicts the root of all my problems because, you see, according to Ayurveda the tongue tells all. That crack down the centre tells me that I have a delicate nervous system.  I've had this crack for as long as I can remember.  Maybe I was even born with it. 

This delicate nervous system has been my director.  It has encouraged me to lead a quiet life because I am one of those Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP).  I am easily stressed, sometimes to point of folding up on the floor in a blubbering teary mess.  I don't like noise.  I prefer quiet music and nature sounds.  I cringe if I have to listen to advertisements on TV or radio.  I would rather read a good book or sit listening to the ocean waves than attend a festival with hundreds of other people.  All because I have a crack in my tongue. 

Luckily I also have Kundalini Yoga.  It is my saving grace.  It offers me hundreds of tools and techniques to strengthen my nervous system.  So, I spend some of my time daily with these tools, working with my breath or moving my body or arms according to precise instructions.  Kundalini Yoga is like no other yoga.  It is unusual to say the least, challenging yet simple, and profoundly effective at healing on so many levels.  

And so, out of my deep and abiding care for others, I offer you these tools and techniques.  I invite you to check the side bar on this page for a link to sign up to my email newsletter which you will receive rather irregularly, but always full of useful yogic tips (and food tips, too--can't forget the food!).
