As we approach the closing of 2020, we have an upcoming solar eclipse and winter solstice which will bring about potent changes, revelations & surprises. If this wasn't enough, the much anticipated conjunction of jupiter and saturn will be at the highest activation point on 21st December 2020 bringing an opportunity for manifestations & transformations both globally and individually.
With such powerful cosmic energies, it's super important to use this moment to go within, not to get caught up in the drama or negativity playing out globally or personally. Use your time wisely to be efficient, productive, self caring, setting intentions for 2021 & showing compassion to others. Set yourself up now for your future self be it through meditation, yoga, affirmations, consuming light food and drink, self care rituals or whatever resonates with you to harness the amplification energies of the time. One way is to focus on gratitude. Consciously expressing your gratitude not only opens your heart but the universal law means you will have more to be grateful for. The more you give the more you receive, its simple plus it expands your auric field. Consider what you are grateful for and write it in a journal, meditate upon it, be mindful of those things/people that you appreciate. Show your gratitude to loved ones even if its through a simple gesture of a compliment or a silent blessing. Share the feelings of gratitude with family and loved ones and spread the light. I wish you all have a peaceful end to the year and that 2021 allows you to operate at a higher vibrational frequency so you can achieve your highest potential.

Whether you want to experience a meditation, manifestation or support your transformational journey, mantras can help to amplify your experience and outcomes.
So, what do we mean by mantra? Well, 'Man' means mind and 'tra' means wave or projection and the essence of this is that there is a vibrational frequency in everything and a sound vibratory current exists in a mantra that attracts to you that which you are vibrating. Mantras are a coded sound system and so these cannot simply be made up as mantras have been passed down from hundreds and thousands of years. There are many mantras that have been shared with us from many spiritual lineages. I use and incorporate into my yoga classes the kundalini mantras. The power of mantra is a personal experience but all kundalini mantras will have an effect such that it gives your brain a signal to go towards a positive direction. This translates into you feeling better, having more clarity in the direction you take in life and attracting positive experiences and opportunities. Kundalini Mantras can also help activate specific areas of your life, generating more prosperity, success in relationships, attracting career prospects etc. Sat Nam is the most common mantra we use in Kundalini Yoga and is known as a Bij (seed) mantra - the seed that contains everything within it. It means 'truth is my name' and is a very potent mantra that can activate the chakras all by itself. Knowing the translation of the mantras is not important because it's the sound code and vibration with there that is activated. Simply saying it out loud or even mentally vibrating the energy of the sounds can balance the elemental forces and bring you back to your centre. Incorporate this Sat Nam mantra into your life and notice the changes. I would love to hear your experiences. You can also contact me if you are interested in learning more about mantras for specific aspects of your life. Working in harmony with the energy of the moon cycles sounds all very new age but in fact this practice has been observed for hundreds of years. Just like the moon effects the tides in earth's oceans, the gravitational effect can have an impact on us not least because the human body is around 70% water. Therefore, the phases of the moon represent the natural ebb and flow of life and harnessing the full and new moon energies in particular are known to be highly potent energetic portals.
A new moon is when the sun and the moon come into alignment and signifies new beginnings, planting the seeds for new ideas, setting your intentions and defining goals. A full moon is when the sun reflects its light onto the moon and luminates it in our night sky. There is a strong gravitational pull on earth at this time and the energy can be used to release yourself of anything that no longer serves you. This is a great time for cleansing your space of lower vibrations and feel renewed. Both the new moon and the full moon phases offer an energetic portal that amplifies your intentions and effects of any mindful practice for manifestation. Try incorporating the dates of the new and/or full moon into your regular meditation and yoga practice and notice what experience you have. Within kundalini yoga, we talk a lot about the authentic you which is also expressed through the mantra Sat Nam. The essence of this is that the yoga practice aims to shift the energetic frequency within and around you so that you are able to express the true you, whatever that means for you. Once you begin to experience this level of truth, you are living in your own sovereignty and power, experiencing a more joyful life which in turn develops a stronger magnetic field so that you attract opportunities for your highest good. It is not always easy being authentic and maintaining harmonious relationships with others but start small, set an intention and be consistent. Here are 5 things that you can stop doing to help to help you on your way:
1) Saying yes when you mean no 2) Gossiping 3) Living and obsessing over the past 4) Putting yourself down 5) Believing others have the power over you and your life outcomes |
