Greetings!

Welcome to the spring equinox. This wonderful renewing energy gives you an opportunity to balance and embrace all parts of yourself, as you let go of any barriers and obstacles that have been holding you back from you.

 

I have spent the last month find balance in all aspects of my life. Often we may think and me included " if I had more hours in the day, I could be more effective or if I had another day in the week, I could finally get everything done and if I could spend more time in one way rather than another, I would be more balanced, happy or satisfied or ... whatever."

Of course I have realised the key to effectiveness is to manage my energy so I can do all that I want to do - to perform at my best and feel vibrant.  To manage my energy and become aware of the aspects of myself that may be hidden thus running me, I changed my meditation practise this month. I hope you find this useful to find your unique practise that works for you.

 

As, I sit in Meditation I allow my head and heart to meld together as I embrace all parts of you. The marriage of ego and soul creates an expansion and awakening where my resistance to new ways of being and thinking dissolves - unveiling the love and truth of you. This brings me to the moment, to the now - where all my energy is fully present and seems to expand time.

 

Today is a special day it is the FULL MOON IN ARIES (SEPTEMBER 23RD AUST EST 7.16pm) and OSTARA, SPRING EQUINOX 1.09PM. This Full Moon illuminates the beginnings of new experiences, take a deep breath and step into the life you really, really want - do what makes you feel alive. The spring equinox gives you an opportunity to balance and embrace all parts of yourself as you let go of any barriers and obstacles that have been holding you back from you.

 

 "Be who you are for you are wonderful - you have something unique to share with yourself and the world. It is time for you to embrace you, strip away the layers of fear and live life to its fullest. "

 
Brightest Blessings,

Balance
 
Bring balance to your inner world by exercising your power of choice. Just for today choose what you put into your mind and what you believe. Choose how you respond to the people and circumstances around you. Become aware of the power of choice, feel your body and mind soften, coming into a state of balance as you see and feel the world through new, empowering perceptions.
 
Start your practice with some alternate nostril breathing. It helps to balance both hemispheres of the brain.
 

Alternate Nostril Breathing    

  • Sitting in easy, cross-legged poses (or on a cushion or chair) and with a straight spin, put the left hand in gyan mudra (thumb and index finger joined, with the rest of the fingers outstretched).
  • With the right hand, use the thumb to close the right nostril. Breathe long and deep through the left nostril, holding slightly at the top of the breath before placing the index finger of the right hand on the left nostril. Exhale completely through the right nostril.
  • Repeat this procedure for approximately three to five minutes, following the steps: inhale left, exhale right each time.  

Balance Postures: The Tree  

Some examples of standing balance postures are: the tree, the eagle and the dancer. The tree is particularly appropriate at this time of year, when trees and plant life awaken from their long winter sleep.
  • To do the tree pose, start in mountain - standing upright, feet together, toes outstretched, with a long, straight spine, tail bone and chin slightly tucked in, hands extended at the sides.
  • Starting on the left, slowly shift weight over to the left side of the body, until the right foot feels the urge to lift off the ground. Place the right foot either on the calf, or on the thigh above the knee (depending on one's ability that day).
  • Place the hands in prayer pose at the heart centre, and if one's balance allows, raise the arms overhead.
  • Stand balanced in tree for a few minutes. To come out of the pose, lower the arms to the sides, release the foot from the calf or thigh, and return to mountain pose. Take a moment to notice the difference in each side of the body. Repeat the procedure on the right side, placing the left foot on the right leg and balancing on the right side of the body.
