Yoni Yoga for the Spring Equinox with the option to make your own Runes
The Spring Equinox is a perfect balance on the journey through the wheel of the year where day and night are of equal length and we might seek balance in our own lives between the masculine and feminine, the outer and the inner and the light and dark.
We are days away from the Spring Equinox where day and night are in equal balance, encouraging us to find greater balance in our own lives, between the inner and the outer, the masculine and the feminine, the light and the dark.
Furthermore, the whispered promise of Imbolc on 1 February is becoming manifest and is now evident in the abundant fertility of Mother Earth at Ostara. All of life is full of energy and bursting with excitement at the potential of what lays ahead. There is much to celebrate!
This is also a perfect time to make your own set of Runes and you are welcome to stay on following the yoni class (at additional cost) to join me in this endeavour – you won’t regret it, I use my Runes regularly as a guide to my life.
The word ‘rune’ simply means mystery, whisper or secret and it’s an ancient form of divination or oracle reading that is used to help gain insight into situations or questions. Dating back to ancient use by Germanic and Nordic tribes, the Runes are still widely used in today and for good reason as they can help to guide us through problems or issues and help show us what is likely to happen.
Please note that they’re not a form of fortune-telling and don’t offer exact answers or give us advice - rather they offer different variables and suggest how we might behave if the event does occur. Runes are known for hinting towards answers, but leaving us to work out the details, which is where intuition is helpful.
Anyone can buy a set of Runes but it’s fun and empowering to make our own, and learn how to use them ourself too. All we need is 25 stones, which can be inscribed with the Runic alphabet. A guide is helpful too.
The yoni yoga class will take place in circle incorporating various Tantric techniques including asana (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), mudras (hand gestures), mantra (sound) and a guided relaxation to help encourage balance, wholeness and a deeper connection with our creative energy and intuition.
Those who would like to stay can join me to drink tea, nibble on energy balls, natter if we choose and have fun together, while making our own set of Runes and giving ourself our own Rune reading.
