Yoga Asanas and the Gunas


       The 3 Gunas (Rajas, Sattva, and Tamas) are three ways that Shakti manifests herself into the physical plane. They are the three energies that govern anything happening here in the physical plane. Furthermore, the Gunas are present in the temperament and approach we use in a pose or series of postures. In a flow or vinyasa, the nature of the Gunas is more rajasic because we move forward and backward on our mats. When it flows effortlessly, it becomes a Sattvic meditation. When we are attempting a balancing pose, we are approaching it moving from Tamas to Sattva.
       It is important to recognize the gunas themselves will vary in degree depending on movement, type of posture, and the type of breath you bring to it. The Gunas are manifested through Shakti and illuminated by Shiva.

Rajas/Rajasic Energy

       Rajas currents, movements, or feelings are spirals seen from side to side with a forward/backward, inward/outward movement. In yoga, this would be the movement in and out of postures, the speaking outward in conversation. The energy and suffering of the ego; the Rajasic view toward practicing asana would be excessive and energetic, which can lead to early burn out or injury.

Dancing to Release Old Vibrational Energy & Raising Your Vibration

Today I did a deep energetic cleanse with my aura and practiced connecting with my spirit guides. I am halfway there to becoming capable of verbally communicating with my higher guides on an instantaneous basis in any given situation. Normally, I set the space by cleansing the energies with sage and palo santo. I then rearrange my belongings to keep the energies clear and not stagnant. There are several steps I personally take to get in the sacred space of connecting with my guides.  After meditating and practicing my trance states, I felt very inclined to dance and release old vibrational energies that were no longer serving me. I created a short playlist of songs that I used to love in my childhood. :)  It's so healthy for the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies to release in dance. Dancing instantly raises our vibration, so it's always best to find time to dance for a little bit.  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...

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...
