Yoga Meditation & the celestial lights… the vibration of the voice. The gift of rose petals you want to sink your face into & breath in the sweet scent… Thank you for the time to cleanse out the psyche, Wah! Felt purified and blessed that evening. Thank you dear friend for coming with me … So fortunate to share the space and sounds. Drunk from the lights and sounds – Blissed out:)
Never was into tarot cards and the likes … any kind of fortune telling I always thought was silly coming from a very traditional conservative place of intellect…of how things ought to be.
So here I am at my lovely Reiki healer’s session, I am invited to draw a card out of nearly 70 cards…I don’t even know what these cards are called but each one has a mandala drawing. I reached out and pulled out this one. She reads it to me… I could not believe my ears – No, Really?
You are changing rapidly now to your higher nature. Let the angles of light heal you and help you shift. The transfiguration of the human being, a momentous change into something superior. Embrace it and you can become as different as a caterpillar is to a butterfly. Don’t be too concerned if people have a difficult time adapting to your changes. Give them time to adjust. As you evolve you will attract new people into your life and the events around you will support the new you.
This is the mandala of a person who can soothe other people by the power of the spoken word as well as their very presence. Someone who can help people with their grief and with the crossing over of loved ones. In a practical way, it could represent a nice person who is very calm and does not realize the mastery that they have gone through.
Artist’s Insight:
Transmutation is the result of constant spinning. (as a vertigo sufferer, yes, but ?)
There are no shortcuts but don’t give up. Trust and keep going.
By steadily working toward healing and transformation, you create a field for it in your life.Key words: metamorphosis, transfigure, change.
She says her cards have been dead on with others …but… Really? At the moment, all I feel is that there is a resistance by those who cannot accept me shifting in another way. It’s a work in progress as with anything, to mutually accept the others’ (seen as not always positive) changes and then to adapt… it’s not easy in any relationships. The shift in me is the fact that I am actually here, even drawing this kind of a card and having this session – the me-before would have rolled her eyes and laughed at doing something remotely like this in disdain. So … people change when…
I really love my time with my Reiki healer – she is so other-worldly, okay, New Age-y sometimes… just sharing the space with her is grounding to me. Centering, I do with my yoga practice I think well, but in terms of grounding when my energy is depleted, time with someone like her is quite gravitational. In each session we meet, we move up a chakra. Last time, we started out with our root chakra, Muladhara, this time, moving up to the second chakra, Svadhishthana or Sacral chakra located 2-3 fingers under your belly button,i.e., “hara” or “tanden”. She does NOT use any yogic terminology as that’s not her background so … to me, all the more refreshing as Sanskrit was getting to be too pretentious (I am not a very good yogi). Just hanging out with her, I feel this soft feminine energy … it’s very haaahhhhh – sigh of relief. (turns out Svadhishthana, a sanskrit word I have trouble pronouncing means, sweetness – sweet:)
It was exactly reflective of my thoughts when she said – “We were put on this earth to learn to feel.” YES. Many of us want to pick and choose our feelings and do not want to feel any negative feelings. Some even freak out whenever, there’s a feeling a tad …shall I way, “bad””awful””sad””depressed””angry””scared” etc. Some may go into unhealthy dependencies to avoid those blue grey black feelings all together … We all want to feel good and happy all the time but… only by feeling the negative emotions, we can truly feel the other end of the spectrum… so when you feel bad, it’s okay and not be so hard on yourself by passing some judgement on your character as being less than ideal. You are NOT weak or inadequate. Celebrate being only human. Know that’s why you were placed on this planet – to experience and explore all kinds of feelings, good and bad, the full gamut, the full range – that awareness. We are blessed to be given the ability to feel – to have feelings. Sometimes of Joy, but sometimes, not. And know that each feeling, like the weather pattern…passes… changes… Except, of course, feelings of true love that spring from the deep well in the heart…so deep, you might call it from your soul – those feelings of love and kindness, that’s infinite, endless and unchanging.
Read in Japanese too…for full comprehension…as I was still tilting my head with the ??? look ??? Only time will tell if this will turn out to be true. Will just keep spinning:)
Wow, whoever did the English to Japanese translation – I so respect. Good job.
By the way, yoga makes you feel … GOOD:) It works.
In other words, for seekers…
The Healing Concert with Special Guest Wah! at Yoga Flow…
Date: Saturday, 3/7/2015From: 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm
An evening immersion into deep relaxation using Wah!’s meditative music and calming laser lights. The Healing Concert is an invitation to access deep relaxation, natural healing and rejuvenation. This feature-length presentation uses loops, delays, keyboards, vocals and custom-made laser lights to deliver its message.
The slow-moving lights resemble patterns in Nature such as constellations in the sky and Northern Lights on the horizon. Everyone is gently guided into a state of relaxation, letting go layer by layer.
The Healing Concert is a multimedia musical and visual presentation that has the ability to transform audience member’s physical and mental state, to literally bring about a shift of consciousness. It’s a doorway to a different you. More than the music, it’s about the experience the music allows.
Cost: $35/advance and $40/day of and door
****************
First time I heard Wah’s track was at YogaWorks studio in LA during class.
Immediately I was like – what’s this? I want to know.
Had to go up to the instructor after class to ask who the artist was.
Wah… What? Wah, you know – WAH.
Me: Wa? What?
Instructor: No, you know, Wah.
Me: ?
Instructor: (spelled out now) W – A – H, Wha.
Me: okaaaay… of course, Wah… (thinking to myself, Wah? what on earth does that mean?)
Last time I heard her was when she was at Urban Flow – at Pandit Rajmani Tigunait’s lecture … just singing in the background …very unobtrusive – very subtle – Meditative. I love her voice. For those people who cannot easily relax, just cannot meditate, too wound up, too anxious, too nervous, too … shall I say, too stuck – this might help pave the way to cleanse out the internal obstructions.
Of course, for those lucky people where everything, at least outwardly, is oh, just soooo perfect and very content and happy – for those people too:) You will be happy at a cellular level – if you love nature and life and the vibrations human voice creates.
Working with some constraints, trying to deal with the limitations to create this kind of mood (but DIFFERENT) in some of my classes – why is it so difficult to … just chill. As Judith Lasater would say, to “Relax & Renew”?
It’s okay – you don’t have to feel terrible or guilty about it either – it’s not being lazy and idle to have time dedicated for yourself – doing absolutely NOTHING but breathe. Nothing and nobody to take care of … but Self. To me, it’s a gestation time – it’s also a time for self-healing and calibrating balance. Mindfully, with directed intention. You have another 22.5 hours in a day you can be intense to any degree you choose to be by way of work & through work, produce, accomplish, achieve, perform – answer to whatever is to your unique calling. But during your precious “me-time”, there’s nothing to correct or rectify.
