Spring Equinox and Subtle Energy Mechanics

We started Monday Meditation with gratitude for each other, for this little circle where we each have a different experience of life, where there is no judgement, we can say whatever, we celebrate each other, we can be grumpy, we can be shocking.

There is nothing wrong with any of us. It is wonderful!

Life is a many splendored thing.

We dropeed into the body, with compassion for ourselves. Where are you being impatient with yourself? Allow yourself to be where you are with the fortitude to move forward when there is an opening.

The ribs have been wanting to move outward with the breath these days, so we spent time allowing the ribs to move towards our arms before the breath sank into the belly and let the chest rise at the end.

My teacher calls the stages of energy that we work with Koshas. The first kosha is safety and contentment. Our classes these days are focussed on that, bringing safety and contentment into our nervous systems.

We went out into space to find parts of ourselves that we might have sent out there. We invited the parts of ourselves back into the body that could help us see our blind spots.

There is a lot of time spent in class on this first kosha. I am sure that will be a theme for a while. I hope you will join us on a Monday or Wednesday, or book a private session if you could benefit from this first Kosha energy. It is life and body changing.

How are you celebrating this last gift of winter? I made soup!

Equinox Retreat on Saturday at Manitou Cave

Persephone's path culminates at Manitou Cave this weekend.

This is Persephone's day where she comes up from the underworld into the light of spring, where the earth is green, where there is hope and when the energy starts to move outwardly towards the creation of life.

“Humans are mythic by nature. Mythic imagination is one of the deepest powers of the human soul.” -Michael Meade

We will meet in Fort Payne, Al, on spring equinox, 3/21 at 10AM. We will gather and take a journey into the heart of a beautiful, sacred cave- mirroring Persephone’s journey in this richly symbolic act. In the cave we will partake in storytelling, energy work, and sound healing to integrate our winter’s journey before emerging anew on the surface of the earth- bathed in sunlight and surrounded by blossoming spring ephemerals.

For the Equinox’s cave journey we ask $144-222 per person honor based sliding scale, with the additional donation going towards Manitou Cave of Alabama’s nonprofit.

This cave is a sacred place. We walk a half mile or more back into the earth, passing writings on the wall painted by the first nations people. Once we get back there, settled in, we will sit in complete darkness, have a story, a sound bath and a silent meditation.

Joanna always brings plant medicine to help us connect on our journey.

Manitou Cave is the most quiet and dark place I have ever been. I feel the most safe, held by the mother, inside the womb of mother earth.

Last year I was lucky enough to spend the equinox there, just three of us. I felt Persephone as I exited the cave. I felt her power and her ease of transmuting the darkness within. I must say, it has been a wonderful year since then. I look foward to taking you into this cave to help you find your creative potential within.

Wednesday Evening Gathering

We have space this week. Come join us as we move out of winter. As I stated above, now that I have access to this first Kosha of energy, safety and contentment, we will be working with that.

You might experience some spinal alignment. I am not walking around giving adjustments, but the energy is strong and magical things are happening.

Private sessions

This is the deepest, most profound work. I am more confident every day and I have had great reports from people with what they are experiencing on the table and off the table.

The feeling of having a super deep massage, tension in the upper spine being released at a level massages never impacted, good sleep, lucid dreams, better connection to self, the feeling of being taller, old injuries healing.

I must say that with the old injuries, sometimes the pain moves, feels different before it moves out. Sometimes there is discomfort to a lesser degree than the original pain in the process of healing, but healing is happening already and that makes me SO excited!

Subtle Energy Mechanics is changing my life and my body, and I would love to share it with you. Please email me, text me, call me to make an appointment.
