Meditation Monday

Chakra Meditation

There are 7 Chakras centrally aligned within the body. We will focus on each Chakra in another blog but to help you with this meditation I will list all 7


Visualise the white light coursing like a liquid through the crown chakra. Visualise white light coursing like a liquid through the third eye. Visualise white light coursing like a liquid through the throat chakra. Visualise white light coursing like a liquid through the heart chakra. Visualise white light coursing like a liquid through the solar plexus chakra. Visualise white light coursing like a liquid through the spleen chakra the sexual centre. Visualise white light coursing like a liquid through the root chakra. Visualise your spiritual chakra centres as being a hollow infrastructure, then as each one fills up with liquid white light. The liquid white light coursing into that chakra and as it does use your awakening perception to inhale breath into that chakra. As you perform this visualisation the chakra centre will become warm and in due time hot.

Now that it is hot you will now know that the chakra centre is completely full with white light, and it's time to move on to the following chakra centre.

Most people haven't done this before, so take time to practise this feel and become intuitively aware of the vibration. The white light has a smooth languid sensation as it courses freely through each chakra centre. By now all your chakra centres are full and they should all be coupled into each other, with an influx of white light.

Journey Into Fall with Yoga at the Beach

I'm back from Costa Rica! Was such a beautiful adventure and a lot of relaxation, which was much needed from my hectic weekly schedule. We spent time at Arenal Volcano zip-lining and then headed over to the Caribbean for some fun in the sun! The weather was perfect, with some days of rainforest rain showers which gave us time to sit and sip some coffee and watch the passerbys.
Every day was spent on the beach sipping coconuts, laying in the sand reading a book, snorkeling for hours on end -came back with a nice back burn ;) - and hiking in the jungle where we came across viper snakes, funky spiders, howler monkeys, sloths and white faced monkeys - i whipped out my banana from my pack and fed them from hand..coolest thing ever!


After 10 days it was nice to get back to the States to the beautiful Pacific Ocean and a comfortable bed. The weekend was started out right with YOGA @ THE BEACH, donation class for ALL LEVELS.
This morning at 9am a group of beautiful souls met at the Crescent Bay Park in Santa Monica, located South of the Pier next to the beach. We had a 1hr 15min. practice in the calming ocean breeze. Practicing to the sounds of the waves and seagulls makes for a peaceful practice, along with the noise of helicopters and passerbys stopping for a glimpse of what is going on - this helps with the practice of becoming centered and present on yourself.
Below are a few shots from the morning....
