The Benefits of Practicing BodhiYin Yoga™ Restorative Poses

BodhiYin Yoga™Restorative Poses increase flexibility, strength, and energy. It is perfect for people who have mental and physical challenges because this flow requires little exertion. The micro movements and being in the "stillness" is so healing because of our fast paced culture we live in. Before beginning, I like to set the space before going into my practice as it is very important to me to keep the energy clear and high vibrational. I will sage and palo santo the room and burn some Nag Champa incense to set the space. 

As I practice warming up on my mat, I am practicing Pranayama. I Ujjayi breathe for about 3-5 minutes at the beginning of my practice and transition to alternate nostril breathing to be able to breathe deeper.  Once I am ready, I will do one pose and flow from one yoga movement to another. During each asana, I will inhale through the nose, and out the mouth with a deep sigh. Different asanas allow the body this new vitality and the experience of asymmetry. Feeling asymmetrical in an asana can feel weird and unusual, but it is perfectly natural for the body to be in that space.

After one hour of flow, I will cool down with some relaxing and gentle poses such as Supta Parivrtta and Padmasana. In Savasana, I love to keep my yoga blanket over me to keep my body warm and cocooned after my flow. Also, I like to chant OM three times to conclude the practice and bow with a gentle namaste.

Incoming Solar Activity

Today was the peak day in a 10 day portal activation between August 22nd to August 31st. There is an increase in cosmic activity and several spots on the sun are lighting up. It is the beginning of a new solar cycle and this means inner work is coming up.  Whenever I begin to deal with my inner work, I discipline myself into something new. Recently, I have created and stuck with a morning ritual and evening ritual that has been serving me well. Every morning I will meditate, practice yoga, burn an incense, and just breathe. Sometimes, I earth and journal outside and make a goal of getting at least 20 minutes of sunshine daily. When our bodies receive sunlight for at least 20 minutes, it helps strengthen our immunity and helps our bodies fight off the bad viruses, bacteria, and amoeba.  This lunar cycle has been major for me because I felt heart chakra upgrades and the need to raise my vibration higher. I have this innate feeling of wanting to be and feel lighter, so I have com...

Hearing my spirit guides auditorily for the first time! :)

One of the coolest, most recent experiences I had was hearing one of my spirit guides (definitely felt like Krishna) speak to me through my left ear. Usually, your spirit guides will communicate through your left ear and ancestors your right ear. This is not entirely the case, but tends to be this way most commonly.  I was laying in my bed by myself with no one around (of course) and my phone was off. My TV was also off so there was no possible way of any outside noise interference. I looked up into this day dream-like stance and heard through my left ear "Gracen, Gracen, Gracen!" Exactly 3 times. I heard an Indian man's voice and intuitively Krishna's name popped up. This was the first time I had heard my guides communicate with me auditorily. I responded back with "What??"   I didn't get a response back after I said "what", however I personally believe it was to validate that I am maintaining a high vibration and guides are around me that ser...

Transitioning from 3D to 5D consciousness

  TODAY I have decided to raise my vibration to be 3D -> 5D. What does that mean? 1. Being in the 3rd dimension is what we observe on the physical plane. Being GROUNDED protects us from psychic and energetic attacks. This happens when you are open in the 4th dimension (4D) and you do not have the highest intention for yourself, for those involved, or for anything else. To be grounded and protected in 3D, I like to play my C-12 root crystal sound bowl, practice Bodhi Yoga™, stretch, meditate, use essential oils, and practice cupping on my muscles to release. 2. You want to AVOID being in the 4th dimension because you are opening up yourself to ALL entities without the highest intention. If you have the highest intentions, then you can ascend to 5D (5th dimension). Recently, I had my own personal experience of a psychic attack and did not know what to do when I was in that situation. I observed being in my house like normal except there were things that were different. I could lit...
