POLARITY & CRANIOSACRAL
THERAPIES are forms of energy healing birthed from indigenous and osteopathic wisdoms. Based on the understanding that we are pulsating fields of energy made of the same elemental frequencies that all things are made of, among other practices, polarity therapy uses both hands on and hands off energy based bodywork, somatic therapies, and sound healing to foster awareness to the unconscious blocks within the holistic body. Craniosacral therapy is similar to polarity, yet with particular emphasis on the craniosacral rhythm- a gentle pulsation, linked to the central nervous system, that can be felt in the cranial bones and the spinal column due to the movement of cerebral spinal fluid.
YOGA is an ancient practice with roots in Africa, India and many eastern cultures, combining physical postures, breathing techniques, somatic awareness and meditation to improve mind-body connection and restore overall health. Through yoga practice, one has the ability to release physical and mental blockages, build holistic strength and resilience and return to awareness of their holistic being.
THAI YOGA is an ancient practice brought to Thailand from India by monks over 2500 years ago. It combines stretching, compression and decompression, and other touch based techniques to stimulate the body's energy flow, release mental, physical and emotional tension and restore balance to the holistic being.
SOMATIC &
EXPRESSIVE YOGA is a meditative practice beginning with meditation and spiritually centering music. After entering into meditative session you are guided through music and energetic listening to allow your body to express any energetic release it is in need of. This can look like dancing, static or ecstatic movement, letting out sounds or words, or expression of emotion by any means you feel led to use. Somatic & Expressive Yoga is one of my primary personal practices on days when I need to move my body while listening to my favorite worship or energetically aligned music. While my practice may begin in a posture of yoga, by the end of my expression, I will have danced and sometimes screamed my way to spiritual completion.
PLANT-BASED LIVING begins with a flexible eating pattern that focuses on consuming more plant-based foods than animal-based foods. This can look very different for different people, but common methods are choosing to consume a vegan or vegetarian diet more days of the week than a meat diet - or choosing one meal a day to consume meat.
Everyone has a different why for their choice to pursue minimizing meat consumption, therefore, it is important to understand yours in order to make a lasting change. For me, it began with noticing how much better my body felt after consuming less meat and has now evolved into veganism after deepening my relationship with plants and nature. In other words, by allowing my mind to notice how different foods made me feel in my body, I can now also feel how their living energy continues on into my energetic field after consumption. Feeling how the plants do to not die but now live with me, beautifully enlivens my connection to nature and Spirit.
