Bridging Heaven & Earth through ourselves - Meditation by Steve Curtin D.O.

And we don’t see it as limiting. But an empowering time to see things with more love and goodness and make it so. Whatever we see, we create to make happen. A Vedic law: Where your awareness goes, that you see or put your attention to will only grow. Therefore, be conscious of what you think and see, and attune it only to follow your Highest.

Limiting, uncertainty, anxiety and worry of how things will change so much. Every couple of days has new news.. more change. But what if, you trust life and with whatever comes, we make the most of it, recreate and make it even better than before. The whole world is in it together. This is what I wish for us all. The one way to do this is to focus on your wellbeing right now. Your state of mind. Calm amidst the storm of uncertainty and even enjoy the waves. In which ever way you see fit.

A cocoon is used for metamorphosis. So be gentle with ourselves. Allow the ease into this cocooning and allow our transformation. We definitely will be different when this is over.

THE TIBETAN RITES - TO RENEW YOUR BODY POWERFULLY

I’ve been wanting to share with you the 5 Tibetan Rites. I practiced it when I had no will-power, or ability to do my go-to Bikram, was alone and found it hard to continue past 10 minutes into the practice.

I want to share it with you because I’ve seen how it really activates all our energy centers which improves the efficiency and vitality of the physical body, it’s organs, the whole endocrine system and your digestive fire. 27 days of this – and you will feel the difference in your vitality, strength and sharpness. This was/is called the Fountain of Youth.

I stand by it and believe in it. I hope you get to experience it.

Set aside just 10-15 minutes a day. Do it in the morning. 5 movements with repetition. Build up in repetitions as you continue each day. Try it at least for the first 5 days and then see it for yourself. Anyone can do it. You don’t have to be a yogi to reap it’s benefits.

Introducing Nya Riddle and Deep Asana - a practice you can do after the 5 Tibetans warm up or to get into a deeper zone with your limbs.

This mini version of Deep Asana is a full-body stretching and an experience to slowly learn to find your edge each time and reach new levels of flexibility not just in muscle groups but in joint rotations. The focus that you will naturally fall into as a result of the depth of such postures will clear your mind and set the stage for a more awakened and conscious state.
Unique and pointed stretching postures will connect you to your mind to ensure deep meditation at the end of your practice, and will support your body in recovery/injury prevention as well. You will leave conscious of yourself on multiple layers.

Key Things to do for your wellbeing and building your health now:

1. Work on Grounding and Calmness - a calm nervous system STRENGTHENS the immune system. Feeling fearful of uncertainty or being uncomfortable with ‘not doing’, does not help. Treat this as a time of wonderment - to be able to just sit with no pressure or responsibility except for yourself and your family. Do small things that you find pleasure in.

2. Pranayama to start the day- Pranayama 1 & 2 for starting the day. Pranayama 2 to ground before sleeping at night if you have difficulty sleeping.

3. Keep your digestive fire strong. Your immune system’s health depends on your digestive system. Keep it healthy by being conscious of the food you eat, in reasonable amounts. Hot/ Warm water as much as possible ( Think of your stomach as a stewing pot that needs to digest all the food it receives) Ensure elimination is good and complete. Ginger & Tumeric, other digestive spices - Coriander, Cardamom, Cumin are good. Exercise to move the body and create it’s own heat.

4. Sleep well.

5. Steamy Buddha is concocting Immune Herbs and will be ready 25th march. For anyone who is interested, please contact me below.

   Love and good health to all!

Sharing from my own ‘sadhana’/ daily practice to ground and center myself. A pranayama taught by Dr. Lad to open up the 3 main chakras of the body - Root, Solar Plexus and Throat, activating and aligning us for the day ahead. Takes 10mins in this 1st video with detailed explanations but you’ll get the hang of it and be able to do it in 4 mins in your own practice.

Pranayama 2 to open up both channels of the body that increase clarity, clear mindedness and soothing calm. This is powerful after Pranayama 1 that grounds you. This video is 9mins long. Once you’ve gone through both videos, you can set 10 mins a day for both Pranayamas.

YIN YOGA Sundays 6pm & Tuesdays 4.30pm

With a yoga practice we look to find balance. We and everything around us, have a yang or masculine energy and a yin or feminine energy. During the yin practice you will surrender, relax your muscles and let time and gravity slowly release your body, stretch your joints, ligaments and your fascia. Helping you connect and develop a better awareness of what is moving and changing in your body. Experience a meditate state during this 90 minutes. Lots of prop usage that teach us how to support our bodies and give more ease.
