A Place to Be - In the Moment

Hello,

I hope you’re having a good day wherever you are in your body, spirit and mind.

Our next blog is from Violet. She lives in Walsall, UK. Here is a little quote from her that resonates love:

Yoga taught me not to beat myself up about anything I am or am not doing. Not to have any expectations not only from others but mostly from myself.

A place to be in the moment… by Violet

Let me take you to a place where the outside world seems as distant as a space capsule drifting in the universe. Enter the room where the lights are dimmed, the candle in the oil burner is gently flickering and warming the peppermint oil, filling the air with a calming aroma. Let yourself be spellbound by the soft music of the choir singing the mantra Om So Hum.

Make your way onto one of the mats neatly arranged on the floor, each of them surrounded by props: comfortable bolsters, blocks, belts, blankets, eye pillows, cushions, massage balls.

The wooden hand-carved Ganesh on the red feature wall adds meaning to the spiritual aura of the room. The big round metal meditation gong with two mallets is waiting to reverberate and pour deep healing sounds and powerful vibrations into your body.

Be ready to get carried away by her melodious voice. “Welcome. Let’s make our way on our backs, please.”
