Benefits of Yoga: Whether I meditate and practice

Benefits of Yoga: Whether I meditate and practice only 20 minutes or 2 hours my yoga practice brings me calm, stability, energy, and wellbeing. With yoga my body feels relaxed, agile and strong. Without my yoga practice I find myself more reactionary, not fully listening, and my body feels tired and tight.

Thursday is one of my favorite days. Go big on Thu

Thursday is one of my favorite days. Go big on Thursdays - Jo Zukovich used to teach a Level III class on Thursday afternoons; it was perfect fun. Thursday is ruled by Jupiter, called Guru, in Sanskrit and is Sagittarius’ power day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jupiter or Guru is the planet of expansion; it removes darkness and ignorance. It rules Sattva Guna (harmony and peace). Jupiter also rules fortunes and worldly possessions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Guru is fiery, noble, benevolent, fruitful, masculine, jovial, buoyant. Its color is golden, purple or violet and rules over the metals tin, gold, topaz and platinum. Sweet and fragrant are the flowers of Guru.”

The 2nd chakra is called Svadhisthana or Sacral chakra
Sva, in Sanskrit means self.
Adhisthana means established.
Our Being is established in the second chakra.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s located just below the navel, around the lower back and hips. The second chakra governs the flow of life, our emotional body, creativity, sensitivity and well being.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The element associated with the second chakra is water.
This energy center, when balanced, offers direct access to flow, flexibility, and fun.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we are balanced in this energetic center we feel :
-connected to our creativity
-able to honor and feel our feelings
-able to honor feelings of others
-strong intuition
-able to ‘go with the flow’ of life
✨✨
Second chakra affirmations:
I trust my feelings.
I trust myself.
I accept the flow of life.
My creativity flows with ease.
I am flexible, adaptable and open to change.
My intuitive senses are awakened.
I let go of past feelings that no longer serve me.

“Santosa or contentment has to be cultivated. A mind that is not content cannot concentrate. The yogi feels the lack of nothing and so he is naturally content. A contented man…is blessed for he has known truth and joy. Contentment and tranquility are states of mind… There is contentment and tranquility when the flame of the spirit does not waiver in the wind of desire.”

When the root chakra is balanced and open we feel

When the root chakra is balanced and open we feel energetically aligned and balanced; steady, enthusiastic and passionate about life. We have motivation to get up and start each day anew!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The root chakra may fall out of balance or become blocked due to the everyday stressors of life, unexpected hardship, fear and anxiety. Signs you may have an unbalanced first chakra are feeling quick to anger, unmotivated, lethargic and stagnant, scarcity mindset, feeling unable to meet your basic needs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To bring the root chakra into alignment focus on grounding poses such as child’s pose, garland pose/malasana, mountain pose/tadasana, standing poses such as triangle and warrior I and II, deepen your foundation on the earth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get in nature! Walk barefoot on the Earth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nourish yourself! Nurture your body with earthy, root-based veggies, rich protein, and red fruits. Eat foods that are easy to digest.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meditation is naturally calming and restorative. Visualize the color red at the root chakra, at the base of the spine, and roots growing into the Earth. When prana flows upward through all seven chakras, harmony pervades, and with it, a powerful sense of well-being.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While we may not have chosen this house or body that we reside in on this earth, we can always choose to make it a home. And with practice and patience, we can make our bodies a home that we enjoy returning to.
