Apana Mudra Vinyasa with the Chakras

So a couple weeks ago, I (tried to) share a breathing exercise to help you feel more grounded. This week, I am going to add by that by having your breathe through the chakras. So we will be doing Apana Mudra Vinyasa again, but we will breathe up to each chakra for a few times … Continue reading

Apana Mudra Vinyasa

My yoga teacher posted a video of this breathing technique on social media. I cannot find this anywhere on YouTube, so I am going to have to do my best to explain it. Like the title, Apana Mudra Vinyasa is a breathing technique that is grounding. As an earth sign in Aquarius (air), I am … Continue reading

Sat Yam Meditation Expanded

One of my yoga teacher’s favorite meditation is Sat Yam, so she likes to have us do it before and after our yoga session. Satyam comes from Satya, which is”Sanskrit for “truth”. After one of our sessions, this idea came to me. As you can tell by my blog, I like working with the chakras, … Continue reading

Solstice Layout

I am calling this Solstice layout because I came up with it on the fly on the evening of December 21st. I was exhausted and proud of myself and looking back on this year, which was tough but also good. For the last few years and likely the rest of my life, getting through December … Continue reading

Circles of Light Chakra Meditation

I came up with this meditation during my Friday early evening yoga class. We did a visualization with the Heart and Throat Chakras. It was to help us open up the back and throat areas (area the three of us, myself included, complained were bothering us). This led to the meditation below.  It is short … Continue reading

You can focus on a pair of chakras or just the Crown Chakra if you would like. Root Chakra and Third Eye Chakra Imagine a Golden Orb at the Third Eye … Continue reading

Kashyapa Mudra and Crystals for the Root Chakra

In my last post, I share the Kashyapa Mudra and how I found it grounding. In this post, I suggest you hold some crystals in your hands. Small enough that you can still do the mudra. It is cool how the energy that starts in your heart space and travel through your hands changes with … Continue reading

Kashyapa Mudra and the Chakras

I recently learned a mudra, or hand gesture, called Kashyapa Mudra.  You can learn more about it when you click the link, but I found this mudra to be extremely calming and grounding. And even though it has been less than a week since I learned it, I have used it almost every day since … Continue reading

Golden Orb in the Violet Flame

Sit quietly and comfortably. Imagine the Violet Flame of Kwan Yin between your eyebrows, your Third Eye Chakra. Now imagine a small Golden Orb with the violet flame. Move that Violet Flame from your Third Eye Chakra to the middle of your brain, which is still your Third Eye Chakra. As you inhale, allow the … Continue reading

Golden Orb w/ Singing Bowl & Crystals

I created this meditation Thursday evening as I was waiting for my nightly meditation. It involves crystals, a Tibetan Singing Bowl, and the Golden Orb (which is obvious since it is in the title). I am trying to prepare more for meditation and also center myself in the middle of the day when I notice … Continue reading
