11-11-11 DIVINE PORTAL OPENING – ANOTHER NIGHT OF GONGS WITH WATER BLESSING

I am delighted to have been invited by Shanti to participate in the 11.11.11 Divine Portal Opening.  I will introduce mantras associated with the Water element and the second chakra, as well as lead the morning yoga and bodywork.  Om
 

11-11-11 DIVINE PORTAL OPENING – ANOTHER NIGHT OF GONGS WITH WATER BLESSING
On 11-11-11 new energies of Aquarius and the fifth dimension are coming to the Earth – the Divine Portal is opening.
The journey towards 2012 has begun! We are noticing it in two ways, experiencing both to the extreme. When you are following the path of your soul, your way is opening and you grow experiencing dimensions that you haven’t experience before. You feel joy, peace, hope and Divine extasy. On the other hand, we have to remove the old patterns which don’t serve us and our surrounding anymore. This is where we are experiencing “the death” of the old.
The day of 11-11-11 is bringing us a gift. The door, which was still holding back these potent energies, is opening! The waterfall of cosmic energies will be coming down, allow us to experience the cellular transformation, affecting our DNA, physical dimension and our whole being. The bridges to the old consciousness are being burned for ever.
Allow the energies of the Divine Portal to come down to the Earth through your sacred being.

THE SECOND PUJA – WHOLE NIGHT OF GONGS WITH WATER BLESSING
Use this moment to transform your life because this year is very generous with giving us sacred nights! The second sacred night is the 11th of November 2011, when we will have a chance to allow – through water – energies of the Divine Portal to enter into our consciousness.
When we expose water to certain vibrations, the water crystals change their structure accordingly. That’s why we want to activate the water in our bodies in the ritual of drinking water, crystalized in the process of playing the quartz crystal bowls.
Water, exposed to word “LOVE”, formed this crystal (work of Masaru Emoto).
Gongs, quartz singing bowls, and voice of the SOUND OF WHOLENESS team with master healer Shanti, invite you to walk with us on the Path of Sound of Wholeness. The sound of gongs and quartz crystal bowls filled with water, will lead you to new dimensions, where the sense of space and time simply disappear, where you travel your own journey on the rainbow spiral of sacred sound.

Yoga: can we stick with it? podemos aguantar?

In my class this morning, I had three beginners and one lady who’s been practising for 6 years. You can imagine that there is a bit of a difference there. The longer we practise yoga, the longer our respiratory cycle becomes, meaning that movements co-ordinated with the breath begin to take longer. If our exhalation is short and choppy, we can quite happily let an arm drop back down with a flop. However, as we gain control of the diaphragm and the ujjayi breath, we learn to exhale slowly and with great control. This naturally leads us to lower said arm slowly and with control. Extend this to the whole practice and you notice not only a qualitative difference but a quantitative difference in the frequency and duration of dynamic and static postures.
Her comment at the end: in group classes people always come and go, perhaps staying 6 months, perhaps 3. She feels she can’t advance because she always ends up with beginners again. She wonders why we can’t stick with our yoga? Comments?

En mi clases de ésta mañana, habían tres principiantes y una señora que ya lleva 6 años practicando. Existe una diferencia importante entre ella y las nuevas. Más tiempo practicamos, más se alarga nuestro ciclo respiratorio. Eso significa que cualquier movimiento coordinado con la respiración se alarga. Si nuestra exhalación es corta y brusca, nos va bien dejar caer un brazo con poco control ú atención. No obstante, en cuanto que tomamos control de la diafragma y entramos en contacto con la respiración ujjayi, aprendemos exhalar lentamente y con mucho control. Así comenzamos a controlar los movimientos del cuerpo, permitiéndonos bajar tal brazo suavemente y con mucho control. Al extender el principio a toda la práctica, destacan diferencias cualitativas y cuantitativas relacionadas con la duración de las posturas dinámicas y estáticas.
Su comento? En clases grupales siempre hay mucho va-y-viene. La gente permanezca 3 meses, 6 meses, y luego dejan las clases. Siente que no puede avanzar porque está siempre con principiantes. Se pregunta porque no aguantamos con nuestro yoga? Comentarios?
