Greetings Everyone,

I am so happy for Spring! Did I mention it is my favorite time of year? It never ceases to cheer me up to see flowers bloom on the trees and feel the gentle warm of the sun instead of the burning heat of the summer. An incredible Goddess of the Hindu pantheon is Lakshmi and she reminds me of springtime. She is the consort or wife, of Vishnu. They are quite the pair. Vishnu is the God whose responsibility it is too sustain life and he loves the earth and humanity so much that he frequently comes to earth as an Avatar to intervene on the behalf of goodness and mercy. He takes his job seriously. Lakshmi arises from the milk of the universe from in a time to great trouble. She arises when all the gods and demons have to work together to save the planet, meaning all the good and the bad parts of ourselves coming into integration can give rise to great benevolence and radiance. She is the Goddesss of beauty, generosity and love, and she doesn't marry the bad boy Shiva. She chooses Vishnu. I think there is a lesson there. If you want to invoke the attributes of Lakshmi, I will be sharing more in each yoga class for the next four sessions.

This last Saturday we kicked off the Aroma Yoga® and Sound Healing Chakra Workshops! I am so happy to have these going and I will feature one per month till we finish all 7 chakras. The next one is the Solar Plexus Chakra - or the Manipura - Lustrous Gem". This is center of our will, personal power, integration, digestion, nourishment - and the knower or gut feeling. One of my first yoga teachers was fond of saying, “you know it in your knower”! This chakra is responsible for helping us take in energy, and sustain ourselves and integrating or processing what we take in. This can be processing emotions, or the day, and enabling discernment. What is good for me to integrate and what’s needs to be eliminated? Please join me on April 17th at 5:15 - 7 pm!

Lastly I wanted to share with you that I am continuing my sound healing certification and this last week I got my chakra system tuning forks. I am so looking forward to offering private sessions where I combine essential oil and chakra balancing sound healing sessions (when we are all vaccinated)! They feel amazing and helped with my headache and hip pain last night! Please reach out if you have any questions.
