SACRED RITUALS TO RESET  RE-EMERGE   RECONNECT

After years of lockdowns, constant assault through the media (both mainstream and social), we have had our nervous system in a state of fight or flight 

With questions like

To hug or not to hug

To mask or not to mask

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate

It doesn’t matter which lane you chose, there has been an unhealthy dose of fear and anxiety. 

And then came the floods. The biggest test of our resilience yet! What division covid had created in our community, the floods washed it away. We were guided to look out for our neighbours instead of dobbing on them. We are a community once again!

Lets deepen our resilience and openness, by coming together for 3 days. 

Fear and anxiety undermine our nervous systems. When we are in a state of fight or flight, when our nervous system is dis-regulated, we can't  function optimally. Our immune system suffers, our mental health suffers, our ability to have normal day to day functioning is hampered.

In these 3 days, we will take a deep dive into Vedic wisdom Practice kriya and pranayama to reset our nervous system Practice yoga to bring back health and balance to our whole system Through ecstatic dance, we will be invited to express our fear, our anger, shake it all out of our system. With gentle yin yoga we will invite healing and wholeness. Through ritual, we will reset the rhythm of our lives again. Through chanting together, our hearts can open again.
 

According to Tantra, rituals are a great access point for the divine. Our altar is the outer expression of our inner sacredness. As we approach our altar, we drop into our heart space. A sense of surrender and reverence arises spontaneously. 

Rituals make us slow down

Rituals make us tune into the rhythms of nature

Rituals bring softness and grace within us

When you pick a flower to offer at your altar that flower becomes sacred

When you light an incense at your altar it infuses the entire space with sacredness

When you chant mantras and put offerings of your intention into the yagya fire, you are channeling the power of the elements to transform you

When you are doing kriya, your intention has the backing of nature to push through boundaries, to even soften the blow of karma

When you do japa, you are uplifting your frequency to resonate with the frequency of nature you are invoking.

We can literally transform our lives through sacred rituals. Rituals anchor us to our divinity. Then mundane life becomes divine. Start and end your day with ritual, and the day becomes infused with the fragrance of sacredness. Before you know it, your vision changes and you are able to see the divine in everything. Then your whole life gets meaning, purpose. That is true dharmic living.
