This autumn equinox, join your guide Julie Gladstone through a 6 -week online alchemical yoga journey as we transition into the season of the Earth Element.
The Earth Element is related to the Mother Archetype and 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 Earth Element meridians through yin yoga, essential oil / acupoint combinations and guided inner child healing meditation to develop consistent practices of self care including being able to show up for ourselves when we are experiencing challenging feelings or emotions. When working with the Earth element, we are also strengthening digestion and the solar chakra while focusing our minds, and learning to lean into the earth archetype of unconditional love and support.
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 own inner sun, unique creative expression and alchemical fire. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this area of the body is related to the digestive fire, and our stomach is envisioned 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.
Journaling is a powerful tool that we use to explore the branch of yoga called Swadhiyaha: the yoga of self study.
Each week in addition to a recorded yin yoga practice, aromapoint and essential oil combination, you will also receive guided journaling prompts to explore 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.
