About this Event
The life pulse of the Universe consists of three cosmic principles: expansion, contraction and stasis. These principles exist everywhere, in the entire universe and in ourselves. All life forms move, even microbes and amoeba. The earth pulses every 26 seconds and in a living body there is a fluid flow and communication, not just from the heart, but through your nervous system, your fascia, your tissues and your cells. Life forms strive for homeostasis (balance) at all times and this dance of life is perceived as a pulsating current that moves through every living thing.
The human being is a microcosmic representation of the macrocosmic universe in which we exist. Just as there are nine main planets in the solar system, similarly, within the subtle human body, situated along the spinal cord, from the tailbone to the head, there are nine chakras, seven of which are major ones. Their function is mainly to regulate the flow of energy through the body, both physical and subtle and when your inner universe is beautifully balanced, you live a life of vitality, joy and meaning.
But what happens if this flow of energy is impeded or blocked?What causes this energy of life to slow, harden and pool in different parts of the body, leading to pain, illness and mental and emotional challenges? How can we open up the channels of the body so the world can move through us in the form of light, sound and electromagnetic waves and we can move through the world as Beings of Light?
Join us on our Yoga Retreat: Feel to Heal. If you can feel the tightness, the pain, the hardening, the emotion - you can heal it. We will open up the channels in the physical body using yoga and fascial stretching. We will release blockages of our emotional bodies using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping. We will uncoil the tension in our psoas (fight or flight) muscles using TRE (Tension Release Exercises) and we will quiet our minds and catch glimpses of those inner galaxies using pranayama and meditation. We will chant, shake, laugh, use fire and ceremony and the Sunday version of YOU will be quite different from the person who arrived on the Friday! A life changing weekend. So much yoga, laughter, nature, feasting and fun - come and join us!
