40 Days of COMPASSION

In the Fall of 2022, we focused our meditations on cultivating JOY. In January, we focused on GRATITUDE. Another potent practice to cultivate JOY is adopting a heart-set and mind-set of compassion…namely self-compassion. Joy is a complex and most unifying emotion we all have access to. It is an internal state that we cultivate when we are most aligned with our values, living on purpose and being our truest self. It is possible to hold both joy and sorrow at the same time. Beginning the day with a clean slate of “I am enough’ or “I got this” or “I can” or “I matter” through intentional practices that help us attune to self-compassion helps to access JOY.

Join us from the comfort of your own home for Kundalini Meditation Practice. For those new and experienced with Kundalini Yoga, adopting a daily meditation helps to cultivate inner strength and joy through gratitude. It helps establish inner peace and a state of flow and ease in your life. Open to anyone who wishes to be part of a community to be supported in their spiritual journey.

What will we do?

Each 30 minute practice begins with a tuning in mantra followed by 5 minutes of gentle yoga stretches, movement, breathwork and postures. The meditation will be 11 minutes. We end with a savasana and closing blessing. The music is soothing, the chanting keeps us in active. meditation and helps re-wire our patterns that keep us stuck or swirling into that critical self-talk

Kundalini yoga is a powerful technology that is intended for everyone of all shapes, sizes and walks of life. Known as the yoga of awareness, each morning incorporates movement and postures, as well as breath work, relaxation and meditation.
