TODAYS' MEDITATION:
I prefer to meditate as soon as I wake up. First, drink a nice glass of water and blow your nose. Then sit in the Sukhasana pose, which is Indian style making sure your spine is straight (Head over heart, heart over hips). We are now going to do Nadi Sodhana (opposite nostrils breathing). Take your thumb and plug your left nostril, breathe in, switch your pinky to cover your right nostril while releasing your thumb from your left nostril, breathe out, and repeat for a total of four rounds.
Next, we go to YouTube and put on our favorite guided Crown Chakra meditation. My personal favorite is called Chants for Crown Chakra Healing by Meditative Mind. If you can find it they have one for each of the seven Chakras, find all seven and save them.
TODAYS' YOGA POSES:
The very first thing I recommend is talking to your doctor to be sure that you are healthy enough for this or for any exercise regimen before you start.
The second step is to look up the exact correct ways to do each pose. I recommend a site called Yoga Journal.
There is only one pose for today
Savasana (Try to do it for 30 minutes and DO NOT FALL ASLEEP).
If you want to do an entire yoga sequence I recommend YouTubing "Yoga with Adrienne". She is amazing.
CHAKRA CARD:
I use the set called Chakra Oracle Wisdom Cards by Tori Hartman. I continuously recommend that each of you get your own set with the book. There are legends in the book that go with each card that will help you better understand the lesson behind each card. I use a basic sentence of hers to get to the basic point. But trust me, these cards go much deeper and you will thank yourself later for the investment.
