Cooking the Navel Point

When negative energy from the heart is invoked and dislodged it must be sent down to the Navel Chakra. The nervous strength of the Navel Chakra must be increased to hold the discursive energies from the subconscious long enough to transform them into vitality. These kriyas create a place of focus that does not move in the midst of dynamic energies, automatically increasing willpower and concentration.

This is very important, even when your mind wanders, bring your attention back to the third chakra. Bring your back straight, choose to bring in fresh new energy back into the body. Don't sit rigid, relax your shoulders, relax your jaw, be feeling that you are sitting within this big sphere of energy, and yet focus, keep it centered in the belly, don't let it go spinning off into space.

Dragon breath, breath of fire is vigorous, creating heat. You are using your willpower, and it's very much connected to the idea that whatever you put into this class, you get out of it...Concentrate, breathe powerfully. Keep the energy inside the sphere. Don't let the mind wander, try to keep the mind concentrated through the entire class. It's almost impossible to do but the effort is what you need to capture the kundalini with, the prana. Real powerful, concentrate, breathe powerfully.

This is where you are telling the subconscious mind to keep all the energies down in the belly. Inhale more, stay concentrated in your sphere. Relax

The class focuses on intention. We will focus on the power of intention in movement and integrity within the asana and the self. We will begin with the breath and incorporate movement as meditation. We will then move into some accessible, but powerful asana and guided visualization, followed by music-assisted relaxation and gong meditation.

Teachers Bio: "I would come back to the asana in times of stress, whenever I needed to still my mind, or I was hoping to foster change. I really began to deepen my practice during my Music Therapy Internship- I found that asana helped to melt away the business of the day and still my whirring mind. The ability to be present to whatever was happening within body and breath became a space of sanctuary; an ongoing reminder to slow down, breathe deeply, and continue on. As I continued to journey, my practice evolved from an experience to an integral part of my day to day.

"As a Music Therapist, I work closely with individuals and their treatment teams to develop music-based interventions that align with the goals, desired outcomes, musical preferences, background, and experience of each person. I especially enjoy encouraging clients to explore expression through creation- whether it is through song writing, composition, improvisation, learning an instrument or musical play. Always, we focus on the process of music making- the lessons learned, benefits gained, conversations along the way and personal growth that come are part of that process."
