Welcome to our years' journey together! In this section you will find a recording of the Welcome Ceremony and energetic processes to bring us into circle together and aligned with the outcomes of the program.

Meet and greet your fellow classmates and me if we've not as yet met before :)

In this module there is a recorded presentation, with revision questions to support your understanding of the information presented.  There are also 3 practices for you to work with each week. After you do each of the practices there are reflections in the workbook for you to take the time to complete.

Each of the practices are around 10 minutes and you might spend another 10 minutes on each reflection, with an extra 10 minutes on the final time you do each practice. You are welcome of course to do these more frequently, however doing each of them 4 times is recommended over the month.

It is a good time to establish a regular practice time for yourself so that in subsequent modules you will be able to have the space to begin to add in the movement practices too.

If you already have regular practices, then this will be easy for you to get the most out of this program!

 For the next 3 modules, we will be delving into our lower energetic portals. These are the more slowly vibrating of our energy centres and as such are related to the physical and more tangible aspects of our psyche.
Our safety and survival is highlighted in our base, with any issues whether real or perceived become to destabilise it's energy. Unless we can feel safe and secure, finding stillness is difficult as our nervous system is heightened and our minds work overtime.
As we ground into the energy of the Earth, we can connect into her stability and stillness. this is the Key elemental energy that can activate and rebalance the base of our energy centres.
The month's module includes a recorded teaching with review questions, along with 3 practices and reflection activities, similar to the previous module. You are invited to create a schedule for yourself to support you in making use of the module resources over the first 2 weeks, then review for the second 2 weeks, based on your experiences.
There are additional yoga postures, mudra and mantra, along with a longer yin style of practice offered to enhance your embodiment of these energies. You are also asked to create some affirmations based on realigning of the energies of the base centre portal.
Additional case studies are offered at the end of the module for you to familiarise yourself with how imbalances might present in real life. From these you can create a suggested tool kit for them to assist in re-finding balance in their lives, drawing on the resources provided and also any other modalities you are working with, giving a brief rationale as to why you have chosen your treatment support strategy.

 For this module we dive into the second of our lower energetic portals which resides in our sacral area, the area of the sacred womb of all creation.
As we begin the ascent up the central column, the vibrational frequency raises and the physicality of the base chakra energy becomes fluid, connecting with the water element.
All of our close personal relationships are birthed through water with the connection of mother and father, child and siblings through the generations.
Emotions generated in this space can affect us much more deeply as the water can either hold or cleanse emotions, depending on our choice to release past patterns or continue to allow them to replay. Much of the time we are unaware of this happening and as we turn inward and reflect in this energetic space, we have the opportunity to create great change. This extends not only for us but for both past and future generations. It is that potent!
 Water holds energy and all emotions create energy. Our body being around 2/3 water, just as our Earth, has the capacity to hold much of this and affect our lives very deeply. With this awareness, the assistance of the water elementals and loving kindness in our reflective practices, we can begin to clear layers of old outdated patterns and programs from our psyche.
The month's module includes a recorded teaching with review questions, along with 3 practices and reflection activities, similar to the previous module. Also space to modify your planning schedule if this was of benefit last module and also work with any of the yoga offerings. Case studies are at the end of this workbook for you to practice with.

 For this module we continue our exploration of our lower energetic portals, our space of denser physicality. These areas are below our navel, which remains as our energetic umbilical cord to all of creation.

The movement through this space from Earth to Water, begins to introduce flow and movement, the transition from our tribal connections into our deeper personal relationships. A disconnection from these lower energetic centres affects our ability to be in the world, to feel safe and nurtured. Safe to be who we are in the world and feel nurtured within our closest relationships.

Working with the elements brings the opportunity to more deeply understand our patterns of behaviour and to bring about balance and harmony to these areas of our life. The formation of these energetic spaces within us happen during our earliest developmental years. As such issues within these areas can be buried deep in the subconscious and take time & effort to bring forward into awareness, understanding and acceptance.

The module includes a recorded teaching with review questions, along with 3 reflection activities and case studies, similar to the previous modules. For this module, you are encouraged to intuitively select any of the yoga or other practices so far offered in this program, based on what is best needed for you in each moment. Trust that you know what you need and if it is to simply rest, then do this too. Anytime you have the opportunity to pause is a valuable practice in its own right... go with the flow and enjoy your experience and enquiries <3

 For the next 3 modules we move into the central energetic portals. This module we flicker into the fires of passion, our will, our sense of self. The solar plexus resides in the middle of the torso and incorporates the umbilicus connection to the cosmic mother.

As we continue the ascent up the central column, the vibrational frequency continues to rise and expand from the more solid, tangible elements and into the transformative flames. Here we find ourselves and what it is that we have to share with the world.

Our relationship to the self is built upon the foundational energies of the lower portals and as such can be affected by any unresolved energetic imprints through our family lines. Do we feel the need to power-play others to maintain control, or can we hold a sense of self enough to appreciate others flourishing around us? Where do we see our space in all of this... it relates to our digestion, how we are digesting life around us and how we are able to extract the nourishment we need to continue to grow on our evolutionary path.

Fire has the power to transform that which can keep us stuck in the density of the past and propel us forward into a future that we desire. The butterflies and bees are fire energy and their movement patterns very much describe the energetics held in the flames.

The month's module once more includes a recorded teaching with review questions, along with 3 practices and reflection activities, similar to the previous modules. Also space to create your planning schedule if this was of benefit to you in the past to assist with incorporating the array of practices and processes within this module. Case studies are again, at the end.

How do we connect with and accept ourselves and others in the community?

Heart chakra is the same vibrational frequency as emerald green we find in the middle of the rainbow.

In our energy bodies, it balances the upper Spiritual Chakras with the lower Earth Chakras. If the flow from the lower and higher chakras bears hurt, grudges, betrayal or abandonment and the mind is dwelling in and perpetuating these, then that is what is expressed through the heart.

It is said that the eyes are the window to the soul and the soul resides within the heart. Compassion, forgiveness, acceptance and wisdom are all qualities developed by being in Heart Energy. The Heart gives us our spirit and courage.... so the saying 'Heart of a Lion'.
 

The element is Air which uplifts and allows one to see the bigger picture, different perspectives to the same story. It assists in viewing issues from above, without getting caught up in unsettled emotions and opinions. There is no absolute right or wrong, things differ based on past, present and future realities. If one can accept this, the suffering is lifted and one may sore like the birds with the winds beneath their carefree wings <3
 

Working with the fire of passion, will & worth, within the expansive container of the air element, the seat of the soul becomes activated...

These are the core energies surrounding our middle 2 chakras. The solar plexus and heart are the seat of potential to create in line with our purpose and walk our path of service in a way that resonates with our very being. To allow our self the opportunity to discover our true strengths and gifts to share, we need to believe in ourselves and witness our worth.

Transforming barriers and blocks to our highest potential is key in our becoming the fullness of our expression. The solar energies, that of fire, brings through this capacity by its very nature. The will and determination to bring dreams into reality, as well as the sense of self that allows them to bear fruit.

When used in concert with the expansiveness of the air elementals which move through and attune to our soul, we can become clear on what it is that we do truly desire to share in this world as our core purpose. Once we can align in this way, the universe flows freely to support us in our endeavors. The only limits we have are those imposed by our doubts and fears. 

The module includes a recorded teaching with review questions, along with 3 reflection activities and case studies, similar to the previous modules. For this module, you are encouraged to intuitively select any of the yoga or other practices so far offered in this program, based on what you feel is best needed for you in each moment.

Allow your intuition to be your guide... Trust that you know what you need and if it is to simply rest, then do this too. Anytime you have the opportunity to pause is a valuable practice in its own right... go with the flow and enjoy your experience and deepening into your soul <3

For the next 4 modules we rise into the upper echelons of our energy layers. This module is all about vibrations and communication, how everything communicates within and around us. Vibrations are the universal language and when we create from this space, we live our souls legacy walking our truth. 

As we reach for the heavens, our energy becomes even more expansive and interconnected with all that is. From this space, it is necessary to have our solid foundations from the lower chakras in order to stabilise the potential we hold connected to the upper realms! 

Our capacity to connect in a meaningful way through clear communication with the self and others is housed within the balanced energy of the throat space. When imbalanced, our communication may be withheld or misunderstood as the energy held within its frequency holds distortion. 

Can we know and express our feelings in such a way that they can translate in a balanced way to others, or do we have a tendency to hold back what we have to say and then end up saying things we don't mean?

Vibrations are the very fabric of existence, the ether, the space between everything else. These hold the coding that can either transform patterns or keep them stuck in old ways of being. 

In the ancient Sanskrit language, the word Akash means space. The space where the records of all information are held in the form of vibrations, where different frequencies resonate with and attract their own likeness. 

The month's module once more includes a recorded teaching with review questions, along with 3 practices and reflection activities, similar to the previous main modules. Suggested additional activities are also offered and case studies are once more found at the end of this workbook.

 For this module, we move into the brow centre space. The space of the energetic Third Eye! 

This space is the portal that accesses our insight or sight within. The energy from this space is not something that we can seek from outside of ourselves, it is our in-sight, this capacity we have to self-reflect. 

The element is light which is regulated by the pineal gland in both physiology and in the metaphysical. Symbolically, the more we are able to self-reflect, the more we evolve through a deeper understanding of our world within and the world around us. 

As we shine light on our shadows, our energetic stuckness, and our density, the more light we can hold. This becomes the process of enlightenment or becoming lighter and closer to our divine nature! The time we allow ourselves to go deep into reflection is the time we privilege our awakening. 

Our density is made up of old programs and outdated beliefs, none of which serve any benefit to us in the long term. Much of this can come through our family lines and other incarnations. Our soul chooses before re-entering this plane of reality, which experiences we would like the opportunity to overcome and evolve through. This is why it can feel like we are going around and around at times. In actual fact, we are expanding, and often in these instances, we have the opportunity to see just how far we have come since the last time that same pattern danced at our door! 

The month's module once more includes a recorded teaching with review questions, along with 3 practices and reflection activities, similar to the previous main modules. Suggested additional activities are also offered and case studies are once more found at the end of this workbook. 

'The blossoming of the 1000 petal lotus; the unveiling of universal consciousness'

Sahasrara is all about Life Force; our interconnectedness with our own being and the oneness we share with 'all that is'. It represents the flowering expression of integration, with the wholeness of the cosmos.... our ability to fully connect depends on also being deeply rooted within the Earth

and open in the heart space

at the centre of our inner universe

Disharmony in this space can create anxiety and other nervous disorders which often stem from a lack of trust in life's learning processes. A lack of faith can cause these physical 'fight-or-flight' stress responses based on fear 'false evidence appearing real'. This type of energy stops us from being grounded in the world and makes it more difficult to manifest the life that we dream of!

As important as it is to awaken in the higher energy realms, being able to ground this energy back into the physical brings balance and cohesion to our lives and our state of being.

Since their original inception by psychoanalyst Carl Jung, archetypes have been used as a method of categorising certain patterns of behaviour. Archetypal energies represent both positive and negative qualities that emerge from the core of the human experience. They allow us useful insight for self-awareness and assist with personal and spiritual growth, through a deeper awareness of how they are playing out at a subconscious level. 

Many of the world's traditional deities, gods & goddesses, characters in myth and folklore through the ages, like the knight in shining armour and the wicked witch, are based on an archetypal system of classification. Whether we are female or male, young or older, these qualities exist within us all whether being expressed at any time or as potential in our lives. Aligning with the energies of healthier archetypal patterns is key to our healing and growth.

Awareness of the chakra energy centres has been around in various traditional medicine lineages for thousands of years. Many cultures also utilise the elements to realign energetic imbalances. Each of these relates to a particular emotional state of being and highlights challenges that might be experienced when there is disharmony in any area. We will look at each of the chakras and elements, along with a positive and negative archetype that can be reflected in each of the energy centres. 

Whichever archetypes are at play at any time in our lives reflects our emotional state and the stage we are experiencing in our growth and maturation. They very much interconnect with our energy centres and the more we are willing to take responsibility for ourselves, the more empowered and energetic we become.

During this module, there are an array of simple tools to assist with identifying and transforming stuck patterns of energy and behaviour that aren't serving your highest benefit. You will have the opportunity to reflect on each of the archetypes to gain a deeper understanding of the subconscious, along with additional ways to recreate balance in your energy centers and in your life.
