What is Prana? Prana, also known as Qi, is our vital life energy. All conscious, sentient beings are comprised of a subtle energy body. Prana is the energy that travels throughout the body yet can also get stuck and lodged deep in the body from external stressors. Prana governs all processes of life and permeates the universe on all levels. Ayurveda is considered the science of Prana; in Sanskrit Ayu translates to knowledge, science, or study, -veda meaning life. What is Tantra? A metaphysical spiritual science from which we develop a life culture of interconnected beingness and union of the body/mind/spirit to the divine within. A journey to honor the real you by exploring your potential, bringing awareness to your truth, and living from the present moment. The Tri Dosha Series are the core asanas of Traditional Tantra Yoga, done entirely on the ground. Deep meditation and relaxation are encouraged, like yin or restorative yoga. Each asana builds upon the last, stimulating prana for overall blissful body sensation. Final shavasana concludes each practice, offering the space to reset and honor our sacred selves. What is Reiki? Reiki is a type of energy healing. Improving the flow of energy around the body can enable relaxation, reduce pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness. Reiki is a form of alternative therapy. It emerged in Japan in the late 1800's and is said to involve the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner's palms to their recipient. The word reiki comes from the Japanese words "rei" (universal) and "ki" (life energy). Energy healing targets the energy fields around the body. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness. Before doctors and therapists, our healing ancestors looked to the earth, with spiritual guidance, using nature's medicine, one’s intuition and with the best of intentions to heal. Holistic healing practices are as old as time. Reiki is categorized as a biofield treatment, approved by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine for pain relieving. Let’s refresh our systems together, starting this New Year settled and relaxed.
