Draw out anything lingering that can now be cleansed by the potent energy of Beltane!
You are ALL welcome to join us for this chakra balancing class, an inner enquiry which will weave together breathing exercises (pranayama), postures (asana) and a guided chakra balancing relaxation, to help you see where you are at from an energetic (chakra) perspective.
This might be rather enlightening, learning more about the chakras, the energy centres of the body, and helping you move forwards in your life, especially if you have been feeling stuck lately.
For those who have been delving deep this last year, this is a very exciting new chapter, a time to leave behind now all that has now been processed and cleared and been again, with your heart and soul clearer.
I love the energy at this time of year. It is potent with the union of the masculine and feminine, and all that this creates, the bubbling of powerful life force from deep within the Earth, alive and vibrant.
It helps this year that we are in a period of major lunar standstill and the moon is adding her glorious energy to wake us up and gift us new ways of being.
The ancients recognised this and many Neolithic sites have been built to harness the sun’s energy at this time of year, dolmens capturing the rising Beltane sun and menhirs punctuating the land, in representation of the aforementioned divine union.
Particularly in old traditions from among the Celtic-speaking peoples of the British Isles, Beltane was seen as a time of new beginnings and has been described as a form of the New Year. In many ways this is based on practical, agricultural practice and at this time of year the cattle were driven between fires to cleanse them.
People were said to celebrate with the Maypole, a phallic representation of the union, and enjoy sexual union out under the stars, welcoming in the new year with fires.
