Tuesday AromaYoga Class:

9. October 2007: 6:30 pm



Dear all!
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather as much as I do. I love it.

Wednesday 10. October is another New Moon in Libra.
Lisa Dale Miller writes that Libra rules all forms of relating. She says that it is time for each of us to come into relationship with all beings. Because the Libra New Moon rules love and relationship, this is the most powerful New Moon for bringing new love into your life. The New Moon in Libra is a great time to caretake of intimate relationships.

"These Libran principles are applicable to all our relationships, be they intimate, your family or professional. Think of how different our world would be if we all practiced these values. This is the New Moon to remind yourself that all any of us ever really needs is love."
(For more on Lisa's New Moon letter, click the link in the link section.)

Also, Karen Bishop writes about the challenges in relationships in these times of ascension on her website: "Whats up on planet earth?"

We must first look to ourselves. Look within and see where you can show your love around you, where and how you can become a messenger?

See you in class on Tuesday,

Namaste,
Tanja

ANGELS and MESSENGERS





The word "angels," which simply means "messengers," are amongst us...seen and unseen every day.  Anyone can be a "messenger," if they choose to bring a message to someone.

Angels are spirits without bodies, who possess superior intelligence, gigantic strength, and surpassing holiness.
Angels are composed of ethereal matter, thus allowing them to take on whichever physical form best suits their immediate needs.
Angels are the essence of love and joy and stem from the Heart of God/Goddess.

Angels are countless in their number, and flock around the Universe in their millions. Angels are dedicated to serve the needs of all free will entities so that you may experience the same level of unconditional love as they do. Each Angel carries out its assigned task without any hint of hesitation as they take great joy and pleasure in offering their Loving Wisdom and Guidance. Everyone has Angels around them constantly, without exception, and they are eager and excited at the opportunity to communicate with you.

Angels were created with one purpose, the purpose to love and to serve all without condition. In doing so, Angels hold a focus of pure love throughout the Universe and are therefore able to set up a resonance for the vibration of pure love wherever it is needed. You on the other hand, are a free will entity. That means that you have chosen to develop your ability to exist with unconditional love by gaining much experience through many lifetimes and many varied forms of existence. The Angels have been created to counter balance any energies or actions that move in the opposite direction to love so that you will eventually remember your true essence.

Everyone has at least one Guardian Angel, and sometimes two or three. A Guardian Angel is a being that is dedicated to serve and to help you throughout your lifetime. However, the relationship is somewhat deeper than that. Your Guardian Angel was created out of the same essence that makes up your soul. It could be said to be a higher, or essence aspect of yourself. Your Guardian Angel isn't essentially separate from you, it has absolute and unequivocal dedication to you and travels with you on every journey that you as a free will entity choose to make. Your Guardian Angel makes an agreement with your soul to assist it in completing any task it has decided to undertake. This is the reason why Angels have been known to make miraculous rescues from accidents. If a soul has decided to remain focused on the Earth Plane for a given length of time, an Angel will assist in getting someone out of trouble who's 'time is not up'. Angels and their miracles are God's way of remaining anonymous.

An Angel, is complete, unified and centered within the Heart of the Divine at all times. An Angel does not question or contemplate itself, it simply is. In being itself, it is a bundle of God's ever present love and grace. An Angel has been created to serve, love, hold and support those to who it is assigned, and those who ask for Angelic support.

An angel (Lat. angelus, pl. angeli) is a supernatural being found in many religions. In Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism, angels, as attendants or guardians to man, typically act as messengers from God.
Angelology (from Greek: aγγελος, angel, "angel"; and λόγος, logos, "study") is a branch of theology that deals with a hierarchical system of angels, messengers, celestial powers or emanations, and the study of these systems.

  • Where and how can you act as a messenger to someone else today?
  • What will be your message?
  • How does yoga help you to be closer to the angelic realm and how does yoga help you to become that messenger?
  • What yoga practices help you to be that messenger?
  • Which yoga asana do you relate mostly to the angelic realm?
  • Which plant do you relate most to the angelic realm?
  • What scent, mantra or sound transports you to this angelic realm?
  • Which place on earth would you most like to be to feel this angelic connection?
  • How can you deepen the connection to your guardian angel?
I will be bringing essential oils like angelica root, frankincense, elemi and others to class that are said to contain the highest vibration of the plant spirit essences. You will be able to combine your  yoga practice with these angelic essences.

Much has been written in poems and music about angels and we call them all different names and see them in various creations of art.
You can check out Doreen Virtue's angels cards and books, which are a beautiful inspirations to connect yourself further with the realm of these divine messengers.
If you have a personal story, I would love to hear about it.

Be an angel to someone today!

What are chakras?



Chakras are psychic centers that lie along the axis of the spine as consciousness potentials. The chakras are not materially real and are to be understood as situated, not in the gross body, but in the subtle or etheric body. Repositories of psychic energies, they govern the whole condition of being. In the Hindy tradition they are usually represented as lotuses.

As kundalini energy reaches each chakra, that lotus opens and lift its flower; and as soon as she leaves for a higher chakra, the lotus closes its petals and hangs down, symbolizing the activation of the energies of the chakra and their assimilation to kundalini.

Each of the chakras, according to the Tantras, corresponds to one of the elements of which the known world is compounded. Muladhara represents solidity; Svadhisthana, liquidity; Manipura, the gaseous; Anahata, the aerial; Vishuddha, the etheric, or space.

This ascent through the chakras can be viewed as an upward journey through the self.


As a courtesy to other yogis, please try to be on time. If you want to reserve your space you can do so by going to www.mindbodyonline.com, click on yoga and then enter centerpointstudios. Its easy.
