New Beginnings

The New Moon in Aries arrived on April 17

Apparently it came within a seven-body super stellium, creating one of the most powerful and rare lunations for new beginnings that we will experience in our lifetime.

Did you feel it❓

I was stuck in bed most of the day, kind of like everyday right now 😏

Astrology - yay or nay❓

I've always had a slight interest but lack knowledge.

As I've followed my Ananda path astrology has popped into lessons and conversations from time to time.

A post on FB about this new moon really had me going WOW (link in comments if you want to read it)

Bit of background for those that are new here, I've recently had a crash

Not that kind 😆

We had two family bereavements, two very special people in my life that had played a HUGE part for many years and who I loved dearly.

If you've ever been to any of my yoga classes or workshops/retreats, then you'll know how much emphasis I put on emotions affecting us physically.

Grief is one that has a huge impact

For me, it meant my legs went from under me and I am where I was a few years ago.

So I'm back reviewing how I manage ME/CFS desperate to avoid being bedridden like last time.

Over the last few months I had been slowly putting together a new way of working with my students, especially those wanting to learn meditation and to explore their spiritual path more.

I needed a new way to share my 30+ years of yoga and meditation knowledge.

I need that new way even more now as I manage my own health.

I've also taken my Kriya initiation after years of preparation - for those that aren't fully aware what that means, with regard to this article, it's linked to my Karma (blog on Karma is still in edit mode).

With all of that in mind reading this article, well, it made me go

To quote the article

This unique combination of planets gathered in Aries during a New Moon is a once in a lifetime cosmic event, and as the months unfold what you set in motion today will travel further than you ever imagined possible.

plus

All of these experiences are signs that your entire being has been preparing for what arrives today, clearing space, releasing what no longer fits, and readying itself to receive something entirely new that has been making its way toward you for longer than you realize.

and

Whether it is a shift in mindset, a new home, a different career path, a transformed relationship, a creative project, a financial breakthrough, or simply a completely new way of moving through the world, something inside you has been signaling that the time for change has finally arrived.

there has certainly been something signaling something in me!

This New Moon is the cosmic confirmation of everything you have been sensing, the moment when the Universe officially swings the door wide open and invites you to walk through it with full confidence that what waits on the other side was always meant for you and has been patiently waiting for you to be ready to receive it.

ooh just need the energy to swing that door

er, maybe not like that, although that is a fairly accurate depiction of how life has felt lately

Whatever you declare, decide, or set in motion during this window receives the backing of seven celestial bodies working together to push your intentions forward with unusual speed and cosmic support that rarely gathers this strongly behind human desires.

HMM, kind of fitting, I am having to rest, re-evaluate how I work, rethink many things, look more deeply into some things that I have been 'toying' with.

There is a lot more in that article - go check the comments if you want the link to read.

What I am taking from it

Yet again the universe has my back

God, Cosmic Consciousness/intelligence, whatever label you want

That inner knowing, intuition, telling me, this is what is meant to be.

So, I am looking at solutions - hence the tracking app thing and the monitor I am wearing. The screenshot that started this article was how I started today 😆

These weren't available a few years ago when I ended up bedridden.

I am not a fan of bluetooth wearing 24/7 BUT I am using it to help me get back to my baseline. I had done so well getting a life balance, recent events have simply created a wobble.

I know I need to go back to the rhythm of work a day (reduced hours) rest a day (or two!) and repeat.

Plus overhaul my diet - way too many carbs and crisps crept back in!

How does that affect my work and you?

I am still teaching in person on Monday evenings - I get dropped off, sit on the chair to teach if necessary and I get a lift home.

My PA comes on Mondays so I have help and can rest to save energy for Monday night, plus all those niggly jobs through the week, well they get left for my wonderful PA to sort out

Once a month we have YiNidra, ususally on the last Monday, extra relaxing session with a deep Nidra relaxation at the end.

This YiNidra session has an option to stay for supper - outside caterers make this possible.

All my 1-2-1 coaching, yoga, meditation is being hosted on Clarityflow now.

I am opening up a few places from time to time so that everyone gets looked after (including me).

I currently have 4 founders places available, the next four people signing up to learn the REAL method will get the opprtunity to stay in the membership for £65 per month for the lifetime of their membership, with access to all the library and any new uploads as long as their membership stays active.

Keep an eye out for more info on the REAL method and the opportunity for 1-2-1 teaching with me in your pocket 24/7.

For now, if you are not ready for the four week REAL method intro or the membership and you can't get to an in person class, you can download me to your phone/tablet/computer to listen to whenever you want

The Digital Sanctuary audio set includes the Yoga Nidra that I teach, plus a beach visualisation, breathing technique practice and a BONUS yoga session

Back to that article

Apparently

Six months from now, you will look around at your life and barely recognize it. A year from now, you will tell the story of this time as the turning point when everything finally clicked into place, when hesitation transformed into action, and when you stopped asking the Universe for permission and started claiming what was always meant to be yours.

So there we go - are you joining me?

Six months from now will you be looking back with me to this moment?

If you grab one of the last few founder places in the Digital Sanctuary, I will teach you the REAL method, this incorporates a 15 minutes a day practice to energise you, plus 15 minutes a day meditation technique to relax you.

A method of meditation that fits into the REAL world that you live in.

A short sequence that will give you more energy than Starbucks and more health benefits than any green drink

You also get

Access to me 24/7 - you will have a direct message link to me and I promise to respond within a set time frame

Just me and you 1-2-1. I send you a video/voice note, you practice. You message me back with any questions or observations.

Over four weeks we learn the basics, you can download and keep forever whatever you like.

At the end of four weeks you can stay and we go deeper or you leave with your new Spiritual first aid kit.

What you don't get

There are no group classes (unless you want to come on a Monday)

Zoom links to find - everything is in the Digital Sanctuary. One place for all videos, articles, conversations

Calendar links - there is no timetable to schedule, we simply message like friends
