Beautify your five senses, so that you perceive the consciousness of all living things.

When we dull our senses with pollutants (media, audio, visual) our mind darkens, and we suffer in the darkness.

But when we absorb impressions of beauty, our perception opens to the light of consciousness, and we are renewed.

Consciousness is reflected in beauty, like light on the water, and this brings peace of mind.

This is Pratyahara, the 5th limb of yoga practice.

When we cleanse the palette of our five senses, the wisdom HIDDEN in your yoga practice comes to LIGHT.

This month, reflect on what you feed your eyes? What you feed your ears? What you feed your sense of touch? Taste? Smell?

How does this change your perception? 

Warmly, 

Kristen

Dear friends,

Many of you have been practicing the Yoga Nidra meditations in the membership (and I’ll be adding more in the future).

I wanted to include an explanation of the inner map of practice, and how you can explore this practice in-depth in my online program this Spring. 

The inner map of the Yoga Nidra practice guides us through the maya koshas, the five layers of our soul.

Our journey begins with the physical body, and guides us layer by layer, to the innermost centre of who we are.

Each layer of the soul is interconnected to the whole self, and unfolds toward our centre like the petals of a flower 🌸

Stress and trauma that arise on one layer, will inevitably effect the whole self, until it is resolved deep within our centre.

My online program, Journey Into Wisdom, explores the inner map of Yoga Nidra practice, and how it can become a vehicle for healing on all levels of the soul.

Each module of the program guides you through a journey of self-understanding, healing and inner transformation:

⠀⠀

🌸SANKALPA - create a seed of light from your heart to guide you forward on your journey. ⠀⠀

⠀⠀

🌸PHYSICAL LAYER- Balance your nervous system and step into right relationship with your body and the natural world. ⠀⠀

⠀⠀

🌸ENERGY LAYER- Awaken the flow of life force energy through your chakras, and let go of emotions that keep you stuck in the past.

⠀⠀

🌸EMOTIONAL LAYER - Shine a light into the subconscious patterns that you’re ready to transform through compassionate awareness.

⠀⠀

🌸WISDOM LAYER - Return to the inner knowing of your heart, and resolve the unconscious belief systems that separate you from the source of Love.

⠀⠀

🌸BLISS LAYER- Open to the innermost space of stillness, and integrate the flowers of new consciousness into your life. ⠀⠀

⠀⠀
