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: 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 – The Third Act: Dissolution
Samhara – The Third Act – Invoke the process of dissolution or reabsorption through your embodiment. Start with guided sequences and dissolve into free form movement. Begins with Kāli mantras and ends with silent savasana.
Authentic Flow – Creation: The First Act
CREATION – The First Act – Today we connect to the point from which all things arise, the point of creation, or emission. Lots of free movement, no demonstration.
Authentic Flow: The Alchemy of Space
Authentic Flow: The Alchemy of Space – Tap into the element of space through bija mantra repetition, somatization, asana, and super slow movement meditation. No demonstration, but lots of verbal guidance.
Authentic Flow: The Alchemy of Water
We’ll be using WATER as our gateway into sensation, this includes the fluids of the body, the blood, and the fluids of the earth. We will also chant bija mantra for the element of water.
Authentic Flow: The Alchemy of Earth
We will use the EARTH element as our entry point to the embodied experience. The bīja mantra for the earth is LAṂ and we’ll start by chanting this and then go into somatic explorations grounded in the earth, our bones and invoking the red bindu which symbolizes EMBODIMENT – our bodies are made of earth, after all.
Authentic Flow: The Alchemy of Air
We will use the AIR element as our entry point to the embodied experience. Using the mantra YAṂ to invite the experience of air into, through, and all around our bodies, we’ll then go into both structured and free movement to explore and invoke air, sky, and change, all set to some pretty awesome music!
Authentic Flow – Desire
Cultivate willingness to feel all your desires fully. We invoke Lakṣmi with her mantra Om Shrim Mahalakshmiyai Namah and use hip openers and free movement to explore our energy of desire.
Authentic Flow: Agni & Bakāsana
We’ll invoke Agni with a mantra, then using the access point of Navel radiation we’ll activate the energy lines and release the blockages that prevent Bakāsana or Crane pose.
Authentic Flow: Mahāśakti & The Suṣumṇa
Use the seed syllable mantras of Mahashakti to worship the goddess in and as the central energetic channel or nadi. We do mantra practice, nadi shodana pranayama, and then keep our attention focused on the central channel throughout our movement practice.
Authentic Flow: Shiva’s Favs
I wanted a practice with all my favorite poses, one I would do over and over myself. This sadhana includes mantra, free movement and a sequence of some of my very favorite poses to get into all the nooks and crannies, including toe stretch, squats, vinyasa with lunges, and more.
Authentic Flow: Embodying Abundance
Chant Lakṣmi’s bīja mantra Oṃ śrīm Mahālakṣmyai Namaha and flow through free movement and vinyasa sequences with the prompt of embodying the energy of the goddess.
Authentic Flow – Shake, Meditate, Resonate
This practice begins with 15 minutes of vigorous but basic movement to clear energy then moves into a contemplative practice including pranayama, mantra, and blissfully silent meditation.
Authentic Flow – Mental Discipline Vs. Embodiment
After invoking Kālī’s bīja mantras to offer strength, energy, and sweetness, we go into an exploration and experimental practice contrasting ignoring the mind and sticking with a pose no matter what with complete freedom and embodying the deepest impulse we can get in touch with. Both practices are essential for the path.
Tantrik Embodiment Sadhana – Kali & Slow Sun Salutations
This Tantric Embodiment Sadhana works with Kali’s mantra, meditation, asana and exploratory movement to open the body and release attachment and resistance.
Authentic Flow – Shoulders
Shoulders and the weight we carry: Using lakshmi mantras to acknowledge the abundance that surrounds us always as support for accessing, becoming aware of, and releasing weight and responsibility that is ready to be released.
