Nourished Heart Yoga

The Essence

Essence as Essential Healing?

What is it? And, what does it represent?
Essential healing is what we feel in the pause time, it represents energy that we have that allows us to express our true nature and gifts we have to ofter on a microcosmic level to support ourself and friends on the path. In these moments we allow ourselves that mindfulness and nourishment to heal. As an artist creates a painting on a canvas, or a sculpture creates a model to see yoga and movement creates the inner awareness to observe this. For example, let’s start from the upward energy feeling the rise to flow.  Quite simply the root of our body needs to connect from the ground up. This can be complex but also very simple when you trace the energy from our root (Muladhara chakra) to our crown (Sahasrara chakra) and beyond. With a stable base, areas of our body that are in contact with the ground can harness an upward draft, inner awareness and channel direct energy to where we want.  From these places we begin to see ourselves grow and evolve into the essential essence we are.  Nourished heart yoga alignment uses this gravitational updraft in every movement directing the energies to the places our bodies need. Understanding how we move from this inside awareness can feel very supportive guiding us into places of much discovery. This understanding can allow us to feel also the areas where we are unsupported. Evolving from these places is essentially where my yoga practise is taught, how I teach and how I can better serve to heal myself and others. This topic is a lifelong journey and teaching evolution but to be able to catch that energy, move it through ourselves is the essence of our essential healing.
