Energetic Alignment

Hi, everyone. Welcome to energetic alignment, a really sweet class where you'll be spending most of your time in a supported Shavasana. For class today, grab a bolster and a blanket and anything else that brings you comfort. I am sitting on a blanket. We are started seating today.

And if you need to sit on one, please do. I'll be guiding you through the chakras in the body. This is a yoga, and itra practice. Each chakra, I'll be chanting the beige mantra for that chakra. And it's it's a great way to just energetically shift so much of our body really responds to sound. So be open to these sounds, perhaps you're familiar with them, and perhaps this is brand new for you.

Before we start, if you want to join me in three ohms, And we're gonna roll right into a humming practice. So we'll do a minute of humming. And the reason for that is is to help down regulate our nervous systems that spend so much time in fight or flight in the sympathetic nervous system. So we're going into rest and digest, which is parasympathetic. I think you'll enjoy it.

It's quite nice. And then you could just have another tool in your pocket for nervous system down regulation. Alright. When you're ready, let's close our eyes. Let your palms face down on your thighs just to ground and anchor and actually show your body true appreciation for everything that it does for you. Let the first couple of breaths just happen for you organically. And let's join our hands for our ohm.

We'll do ohm three times and roll right into our humming practice. In Haldi play. Inhale, and Please keep going. All the way till you complete that exhale. Two more.

Hum. Just take a moment to feel the sound vibrating within you. And lower your hands. Let's begin on our backs for the energetic alignment. So set up Shavasana in a way that you know you will be fully supported.

A bolster beneath your thighs and the, and the knees and a blanket underneath your head. If you need a blanket over your body as well, you can do that. So there's no rush. Set it up. And when you're ready, you'll lie down and close your eyes.

And just feel perhaps there's already the sweetness within you, this excitement to really receive an energetic alignment and rest how little rest we get these days. So it truly is a gift. And once you're in the position to receive this practice, Just let yourself be held. Notice that your naval is rising and falling as you breathe. Notice your chest, rise, and fall with a breath.

And draw your attention to the opening of your nostrils, which serve as a portal to our inner space. As you breathe in, drawing the breath into the body, your attention goes there with the breath. And as you exhale the breath returning back to the nostrils, exiting the body, your attention goes there. So notice how when we breathe in, we're drawn to our inner space. We go inwards.

As we breathe out, it's a return into the outer space. So just do that two more times. And the next time you breathe in, you're traveling into your inner space and remaining there. Take a moment to scan inside of the body from the toes all the way up to the crown of the head. Take a minute to do that.

And as we are energetically aligning our inner space. Just know that around your body is a circle of light offering an energetic protective shield. As you rest, as you receive this practice. Feel the whole backside of your body molding to the earth and know that the earth is holding and supporting your body. Bringing your attention to your breath.

With every exhale, you'll begin counting backwards From the number 27. Inhale, exhale 27. Inhale, exhale 26, and continue on your own until you arrive to zero, where you'll release the counting or the breath and just notice it, your body breathing. If you lose your count, just start again at 27. Every number, we count backwards, releases, any constriction in the mind dissolves any tension in the mind.

Please release the counting of the breath. Notice how your body is breathing for you. Relax the whole backside of the body and the whole front side of the body. Draw your attention to the base of the spine. The root chakra, the energy of earth.

Lum. Lum. Center of the Palvis. Sacral chakra. Tham.

Bam. Naval Center. Third Chakra. Ram Ram Ram. A center of the heart.

Fourth Chakra. Young, young, young. Throte Center. Fifth Chakra. Hum.

The midway points between your eyebrows. Six chakra. Oh, Crown of the head seventh chakra. Sound of silence. And now take your attention to the center of your heart.

Resting in the center of your heart. Receiving this energetic alignment. The next time you breathe in, imagine breathing from the base of your spine. All the way up the spine to the top of the head, exhaling from the top of the head back down to the base of the spine. And now breathe to fill your whole body.

XL all the breath out. Start to bring movement back in your toes and your fingers and even stretching the arms above your heads slowly taking your time to roll over to one side where you can stay and rest as long as you need to or making your way up to a seated position to join me. In Anjani Mudra, so palms hands together in front of the heart, bowing your chin to honor yourself, to honor the sacred practice. All the many ways that we can return home to ourselves. And for whenever you have the time, just to inquire and reflect upon What is feeling true for you right now?

Aligned and true. Namaste.
