A Ceremony to Purify the Heart & Create Space - Cacao, Yin & Mantra Meditation Journey

A Ceremony to Purify the Heart & Create Space - Cacao, Yin & Mantra Meditation Journey

(AIR/ ETHER / GODDESS  BHUVANESHVARI)

September 3rd  / 10:15-13:45 / Yoga Scheune Meilen

We're gathering this summer again at the beautiful open-air yoga shala in the woods of Meilen. A serene environment to dive deep into around 3,5 hours of connecting to yourself with the sounds of birds, a summer breeze, and a gently flowing river. Summer Magic is a Ceremony Concept to invite in a retreat feeling in Zurich. 

A Ceremony to nurture yourself and release heaviness from your heart. We’ll be working with the element of air and either. Inviting in a fresh new breeze that will sweep away the stagnat energy in our lives and allow ourselves to tune into a brighter, more nourishing and joyful day to day life.

Our nervous systems are (over) used to constant stimulation.

We keep acumulating experiences and forget how it feels to have mental, emotional and physical space to tune into what of that accumulation still feels beneficial and inspiring. We can’t take in without taking out. It’s amazing to take inspired action in life and feel excited to create. If life feels dull and when even small things induce anxiety and overwhelm us, then there is a need to create safe space for ourselves.

This journey is an invitation to gently purify our heart space. To digest life and the experiences. To slow down and tune in. To truly let ourselves go and float on a cloud of bliss. Purifying the heart space feels sometimes like stop holding back the cry you feel is coming and then the sweet relief after you’ve cried.

Bhuvaneshvari is the Goddess of the Cosmic Womb - a safe space to nurture, nourish, replenish, gently open our hearts, calm our nervous system and strenghten it by slowing down and noticing what is weaking our system and what not. Where are we causing stress that is not worth our energy and attention. 

What habits and patterns create more misery in our life and what would we like to change? Where in life do we want to put our energy? What do we wish to prioritize from the heart? Where do we have to say no (more)? And what are we craving to say yes to?

The Mantra Meditation will help us to create that nourishment also on an energetic level and bring clarity to our system - it’s like an energetic dust cleaning. :))

• Cacao Ceremony and 1-2 cups of Cacao to connect to your heart and body
• Mantra Meditation for Deep Energetic Transformation

PREPARATION & POST CEREMONY CARE

-There isn't anything specific you have to prepare. It's recommended to hydrate well prior and after the ceremony as ceremonial cacao activates the liver and is great for your connective tissue. It helps flush out whatever needs to be released physically, mentally and emotionally.

-Keep your food intake on the day of the Ceremony and evening before light(er) and vegetarian. Anything that you digest easily and feels light in your system. Bring a snack for after the Ceremony.

-You may have a specific intention or want to tune into what would help you completely to immerse yourself into the Ceremony. If you can, don't make appointments on the day of the ceremony, maybe even a day after. It's good to take some time to nourish, be in nature, not have to rush, solve, move too much but have space to do whatever feels good in that moment! :)

-You can journal or meditate upon the following questions if this helps you:

1. How am I feeling physically right now?

2. How am I feeling mentally right now?

3. How am I feeling emotionally right now?

4. How am I feeling energetically right now?

5. What would be something I'd like to solve/release from my life/body/mind/emotions?

6. What would be something I'd like to feel/experience more in my life?

7. How would I describe the relationship to myself in 3-5 words?

8. What can I do to feel more nourished in my day to day life?

9. What is something that I can do for myself to feel connected to myself?

10. What people in my life lift me up, help me grow and allow me to fully be myself? Which people are crossing my boundaries and constantly complaining?

-Notice in your day to day life what activities, people, habits, routines, rituals, places feel expanding and nourishing and which feel contracting and stressful
