This autumn equinox, join your guide Julie Gladstone for a 6 -week online alchemical yoga journey as we transition into the season of the Earth Element through yin and chakra yoga, aromapoint therapy, journaling and inner child healing!
The Earth Element is related to the Mother Archetype: our ability to self nourish, nurture, and to show up for ourselves, our commitments and creative projects with integrity and reliability. In this course, we will work with the meridians of the Earth Element the Spleen and Stomach using yin yoga and essential oil / acupoint combinations throught he lens of the spirit points of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When working with the Earth element, we are also strengthening digestion and the solar chakra while quieting our busy minds, and learning to lean into the earth archetype of unconditional love and consistent support.
Participants will connect with their inner child through gentle guided healing meditations to develop consistent techniques of self care include being able to show up for ourselves when we are experiencing challenging feelings, emotions and shadowy or unconscious material.
The Manipura Chakra, or the “City of Jewels” is our solar plexus chakra - this intriguing name suggests this energy centers powerful role in connecting us to our inner solar energy; our unique creative expression and alchemical fire. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this area of the body is related to the digestive fire, with our stomach as a sort of cauldron, or cooking pot, where the foods and nourishment that we take in, can be transformed into our life force energy and our hearts purpose; supporting us in taking aligned action in the world, committing to our creative projects, and showing up every day to transform our visions and dreams into reality.
Alchemical Yoga is about shining a light into the shadows and learning to integrate and embrace the parts of ourselves that may subconsiocusly affect our lives and choices, because we don’t have awareness. Journaling is a powerful tool that we use to explore the branch of yoga called Swadhiyaha: the yoga of self study.
Each week you will also receive guided journaling prompts to explore themes related to our relationship with self care, nourishment and food, mothering/ mothers, the meaning of unconditional love and support, and discovering where and when we self abandon.
