Solstice Gifts of Spirit | Yummy Yoga

Give yourself to love.
Let me hear your laughter,
Stop your worries, create more fun,
Fly among our neighbors, the stars,
And cherish the One who gives life, Our Sun.

We are all in an ancient relationship with the Sun.

Winter Solstice is a time when the Sun seems to “stand still.” Standing still is a powerful metaphor for the collection of expanding energies available in this season, and a reminder of how learning to stay still, to concentrate, is at the heart of meditation.

Learning to move, to change the direction of our lives, is at the heart of yoga. We set intentions at Solstice in the ancient ways, inviting the Suns’ powerful cosmic rays to fill all 30 trillion cells in our bodies and to supercharge our purpose with the cosmic energy of Prana.

But it has been almost 800 years since humans have had a chance to harmonize at Solstice with the auspicious planetary alignment of Jupiter and Saturn, which many see as the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. This means we are at the threshold of an unprecedented shift to a new awareness for humanity.

Attunement to this resetting of the celestial star-clock marks a new era, the time of The Great Healing. What does that mean for you? Attuning to the Great Healing. Aligning to the Great Turning. Surfing the Shift.

That’s why I am inviting you to two FREE Events, one global, one local, to set and enact your intentions for the coming year through

We can dream in the future we want to see by first clearing the lens and concentrating ourselves on our true nature. In this special Yoga practice called PURIFYING NEGATIVITIES AND ACCUMULATING VIRTUE, you’ll touch every joint, muscle, nerve, and endocrine gland with the Light of your natural wisdom.

Rituals are those actions that illuminate our transitions and together make up a Ceremony. Through rituals of Gentle Yoga, Energizing Fire Dances, and Sacred Dreaming during this potent window of time, we’ll make a deep dive to invigorate and revere the web of life and reconnect with the Growing Light.

RETURN TO HEAVEN ON EARTH

Return our attention to Mother Earth and Father Sky, our Solar System, and the Milky Way, all of which are aligning in the next four days, giving the intentions we affirm during this window of time extra power. As the days grow Lighter moving toward Summer Solstice, our vows, our Sankalpa, our resolve grows too.

It is an excellent time to dive deeper into the poetry, magic, movement, song, and teachings that occupy the spiritual state known as Yoga, which recalibrates each of our 30 trillion cells with Nature’s wisdom.

When the cycle of sunlight reaches its nadir, in the coming days, there is a tremendous amount of Prana available. It’s an important time for the study of spiritual teachings, for yoga practice, and for meditation and ceremony.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THESE TWO EVENTS:

SACRED SPACE: Preliminaries for practice and aura cleansing
PRANAYAMA: Finding inspiration through respiration.
MANTRA: Taking your seat, aligning Earth, Sky, & Spine
GENTLE VINYASA: Tune into the rhythm of Nature’s heartbeat
HEART OPENING: Mindfulness and Loving Kindness Meditation
SANCTUARY OF YOUR SOUL: Sustaining our Wholeness.

FOR ONLINE GATHERINGS, ORGANIZE ENOUGH SPACE FOR MOVEMENT, DANCING, AND MEDITATION:
Turn off the phone, listen to your body, let your mind become open and clear. Have a journal and pen handy for taking notes if you like. Bring an open mind, a journal and pen, and a glass of water.

YOUR MENTOR: Marya embodies a deep respect for each student and a playful attitude that encourages everyone to be who they are meant to be. Learn more at www.maryamann.com where you’ll find free writings, guided yoga classes, and meditations. Learn more here!

The world needs you. And the world deserves your giving it your very best!

Align, shine, and be kind!

“May I be medicine for those who are sick. May I be a resting place for those who are weary. May I be a lamp for those who are in darkness. May I be a bridge, a boat, a raft for those to cross over the flood. May I be food for the hungry. May I be inspiration for those who are dispirited. And may I do so for as long as earth, and sky, and galaxies exist, so that all beings, I and all beings, are awakened together.” — A vow from Shantideva by Dr. Jack Kornfield to alleviate some of the suffering in the world.
