Authentic Flow – The Neck & Vishuddha Chakra
Using this portal of the neck, the throat chakra, the junction between the head and the rest of the body, we will enter into the space of direct experience, intimacy with ourselves and this very potent part of the body. We’ll chant the bija mantras on the petals of the throat chakra, the vowels of the sanskrit alphabet: aṃ, āṃ, iṃ, īṃ, uṃ, ūṃ, ṛṃ, ṝṃ, ḷṃ, ḹṃ, eṃ, aiṃ, oṃ, auṃ, aṃ, aha
Authentic Flow: Blood
Blood – the water of life that flows through each of us. The fluid that nourishes all of our cell tissues. The rhythm of life that pumps in our chest. I invite you to open a dialogue with your own blood and let it speak to you through your body. Who knows what it might say!
Authentic Flow: Digest Experience
Cultivate the qualities and postures of awareness that help to facilitate the arising of that which wants to be digested: Safety, Willingness, Curiosity, Space, Attention, Patience, and more.
Authentic Flow: LUNGS
Using the lungs and breath as our access point, we explore a deeper embodiment, allowing the lungs to move through us and as us.
Authentic Flow: Love & Truth
Explore two aspects of Pure Motive, practicing out of love for oneself and from a desire to know the truth above all else. When we come from these motivations in our movement practice it paves the way and sets our compass to come from these motivations throughout our lives. See Hareesh’s blog on this here: https://hareesh.org/blog/the-pure-motive
Authentic Flow for Yogasana Practitioners
There is some kind of magic that happens with a combination of evocative music, a bit of guiding language and space holding (but not too much), and movement which can bring you into an altered state of awareness that often yields insight and/or a direct experience of reality, unmediated by your thinking mind. It does take practice. And it takes trust, and surrender to the process. It takes willingness to move out of the comfort of your beloved asanas and into the unknown.
