Full Moon & New Moon Kundalini Yoga Meditations
Next Date: New Moon (and Equinox!) Friday March 20th, 2015, 6:45 - 8:45 pm
An evening of two specially selected Kundalini Pranayama and Mantra Meditations (no Kriya/asana-based movements) for those wanting to deepen their spiritual/meditation practice, amplified with the energies of the New Moon.
We will open the evening with an opportunity to voice and have witnessed our intentions for this New Moon cycle - what we are letting go, and/or what we want to bring in. We will then move into a 31 minute Pranayama Meditation (breath work), followed by Savasana, and then a 31 minute Mantra Meditation (chanting). The 31 minutes allows a unique opening into the subtleties of the effects for which the meditations are designed for. On closing there will be tea and prasad.
Held in my home in Fernwood, 10 participants max. (currently 5 spaces still left, last minute registration is fine!)
Investment: $20.00 (or pay what you can - no one turned away for lack of funds)

Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is a form of Ayurvedic massage which balances the upper four chakras. This particular form of Indian Head Massage (The Prema Method) is done with the receiver sitting in a chair which enables the chakras to be vertically aligned with heaven and earth. This is the most effective alignment to clear and re-activate the chakras so our connection with the Divine (crown chakra) is enhanced.
This massage includes the middle and upper back, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, head, and face. Unique and varied techniques are used to stimulate, clear, release, and open on physical, emotional, and mental levels. This massage is specifically designed to release blockages through the nadis and meridians to facilitate the opening and balancing of the upper four chakras. It is effective in releasing tension around the neck and upper back, constriction in the heart centre, and head-aches. It also clears over-thinking, cloudiness, and fogginess, and can ease heart-ache and pro-longed grief and sadness. Organic oils with your choice of pure essential oil fragrances are used.
The upper four chakras:
Heart Center/Anahata Chakra: expression of grief, love, and compassion; ability to give and receive love
Throat Center/Vishuddha Chakra: expression of creativity, ability to be heard and speak one's truth, manifesting divine will
Third-Eye Center/Ajna Chakra: expression of wisdom, ability to connect and live from intuition
Crown Chakra/Sahasrara Chakra: expression of Self as Divine, ability to connect with the Divine

Reiki
As a Reiki Level Three Master/Teacher from the Usui tradition, I offer hands-on Reiki treatments, and teach Reiki Levels I and II . Treatments are done laying down, unless otherwise requested. I integrate Reiki sessions with crystals and sound (tibetan bowls and tingshaws) as it is suitable for each client.
Reiki is a beautiful form of energy work that works with pure light source energy (universal chi). Reiki re-balances and activates the chakras, eases depression and anxiety, and brings our emotions, body, mind, and spirit into a state of equanimity. From a state of balance and equanimity, we can move through life with ease and grace, express our passion and joy, and radiate love and peace from our centre.

Chi Nei Tsang
Chi Nei Tsang (Abdominal Organ Massage) is the most recent form of body-work that I have integrated into my practice. This beautiful modality was transmitted to me through the Priestess Circle of the Living Chalice - as part of my Priestess and Earth Avatar Initiations. My teacher, Ambe Ray, trained with Gilles Marin, a disciple of Mantak Chia. This powerful form of massage helps unravel the tensions stored around our naval centre, and open our connection to our source energy held deep within the womb (hara for men). The organs are intricately connected with our emotional, mental, and physical selves, as well as the planetary bodies in the universe. Truly; as below so above, as within so without. Chi Nei Tsang is an effective way of releasing blocks and opening the gateways to connect with our Divine Self. I invite you to come and experience this amazingly nurturing and soul awakening modality!
