40 Days of FLOURISHING
“A rich, full and meaningful life comes about through accepting your thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, and taking effective action, guided by your deepest values.”
- Russ Harris,
Our next 40-Day Meditation will focus on FLOURISHING. The past few years has been a deep dive into the research on flourishing especially as we become wiser, a bit older and faced with many transitions in life, both planned and unplanned. Practicing flourishing encompasses many avenues that we will explore throughout the 40 days, as we gather together in our hopeful community to practice each day with intention.
A meditation practice one of the best prescriptions for human flourishing and health.
We have a beautifully designed system in our bodies called the Renewal Response. This is our antidote to the Stress Response. The renewal response is where flourishing lives. AND it takes intention and attention. Flourishing requires inspired action and begins with awareness, being with, and noticing your internal experience so that you can mount a healthy response to conflict or angst, and turn hope into truth, The ripple effect from your own response has significant impact on those around you, and who knows how much farther.
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. 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.
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. The combination of repetitive movement, breathing and relaxing helps to exercise our ‘ nervous system’ making us more resilient and energized to deal with the day to day stressors of life.
