Yoga for Tight Hips

Yesterday evening, I practiced a yoga flow with a lovely yogi online via Youtube. Her name is Kassandra and she created an AMAZING hip opening sequence that left me feeling new! Throughout her practice, in some of the poses I was confronting my limitations. I pushed certain edges to my limit and broke through some of them. Others I could not. When I couldn't get into a full pose like Eka Pada Rajakapotasana, it made me feel defeated at first. After breathing where I was in the pose that almost lead to Eka Pada Rajakapotasana, I realized PRACTICE and PATIENCE. I immediately felt empowered. 

Now, in my personal practice I am going to build up to Eka Pada Rajakapotasana and master that asana. During the flow, I heard "you can do this". It made me smile and push towards my limitations in her practice. I am so grateful to have experienced that because it will help me grow mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. 

I liked that her practice was different. Normally, I love doing Bodhi Yoga™ because I experience spiritual things in those practices. For example, the other weekend I was practicing a Bodhi Flow™, I was outside in the grass next to a labyrinth (still convinced to this day it is part of why I experienced what I experienced) and I was moving into child's pose, balasana. When I came out of balasana, I heard angels singing "ahhhhhh" at a highly pitched tone all around me. If you have ever listened to 16D music, you hear the song playing in a circle around your head. It is one of the coolest things ever to experience. That is how I heard the angels singing; in a circle around my head. I thought I was trippin, but then I instantly realized "oh my gosh, that is coming from me". Later, I had moved over near this English Walnut tree and had moved into balasana there. When I placed my forehead on the grass, I immediately had an astral experience and perceived a bedroom. It was strange because I was looking up at this ceiling and could tell I was in a bedroom. There were 4 tall brown bed posts and it was grey. The last astral experience I had when I saw grey was not good, so I pulled out and returned to my physical body. I'm still not sure why I saw that to this day, but I am okay with not knowing the reasoning behind it. 

Kassandra's practice made me realize that it is okay to focus on your physical limitations for a flow. As a sagittarius, I detest limitations and always seek to break them when I can. It is why I love Bodhi Yoga™ so much. I feel like the limitations are breakable and it makes me feel so empowered. Kassandra's flow reiterated that I CAN do anything I put my mind to. Practice and patience is key.

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...

Kemetic Yoga Practice

I have never liked the yoga that I was first introduced to in Charleston, South Carolina. I am very intuitive and have never felt nor believed that the yoga that was practiced there was the real deal. I was always turned off when the instructors were SO focused on just physical movement and whatever they said was "yoga". No one ever taught that yoga was something more.  I moved to Utah almost 1 year ago today and was introduced to Bodhi Yoga. Bodhi Yoga is a yoga practice and philosophy that originated out of current day Pakistan. I learned about chanting, connecting with my higher self, how the practice is meant for your own journey and not this attained pose that I saw all the time in Westernized Yoga. I loved that it taught me to expand my consciousness and how there is more to yoga than what Americans think.  I ventured into this metaphysical store over the summer in 2020 and found this beautiful place called Synchronicities. I wandered throughout the store and saw orgoni...
