SUMMARY:Mantra Meditation w/ Jot Anant
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nMantra\, मन्त्र \,  translates from the Sanskrit root ‘man/manas’ (the thinking mind) and ‘tra/trava’ (to liberate\, to transcend).  \n\n\n\n\n \nMantra literally means liberation of the mind. \n\n\n\n\n \nIt is said that the sacred mantric sounds fell from the Divine source\, were heard by the Rishis who then formulated them into the cohesive body of mantras that are still widely used today\, forming an unbroken chain of sound energy. Each mantra is precisely\, sacredly\, and exquisitely formed to create powerful vibrations that connect us back to our true\, Divine nature.  \n\n\n\n\n \nChanting runs through every form of yoga. It helps to regulate our breathing\, quiet the mind\, open the heart\, connect us to universal energy\, and bring about deep healing. Mantras are one of the most powerful tools we have for calming the mind and working with thought patterns as it helps us to create new neural pathways.  \n\n\n\n\n \nOther benefits of chanting mantra include: \n\n\n\n\n \n~Soothes anxiety \n\n\n\n\n \n~Releases stress \n\n\n\n\n \n~Brings deep joy and contentment \n\n\n\n\n \n~Opens the throat chakra \n\n\n\n\n \n~Uplifts our mood \n\n\n\n\n \n~Stimulates the vagus nerve \n\n\n\n\n \n~Calms the nervous system \n\n\n\n\n \n~Boosts the immune system \n\n\n\n\n \n~Stimulates secretions of the pituitary gland \n\n\n\n\n \nIn this workshop we will explore the nuances of sound in yoga\, learn different ways to incorporate mantra\, and use mantra as a form of meditation\, to soothe the mind and connect us back to our true Selves. By understanding the use of mantras participants will gain a better perspective of the application of sacred sound in their own personal Yoga sadhana (practice).  \n\n\n\n\n \n“Through mantra\, we can awaken the Divine light within us and expand beyond the limitations of space\, direction and manifestation. Through mantra\, one can learn to ride the waves of cosmic light and sound\, going back to the Divine Word at the heart of the world. This is the cosmic form of Mantra Yoga known only to Yogis who have gone beyond the body and mind.” – David Frawley \n\n\n\n\n \nCost: $30\, Financial Assistance Available \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nClick Here to Register Now\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \nPLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming.

SUMMARY:Harnessing the Light ~ An Awakening Love Workshop for Women
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating Connection and Honoring our Ancestors with Cacao\, Dance and More \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOct. 29th 2-5pm \n\n\n\nSliding scale: $35-$55 \n\n\n\nWe invite all women to join our Awakening Love Sisterhood for this sacred circle where we intend to honor and harness the light\, energy\, and wisdom of our ancestors during this auspicious time of year.  \n\n\n\nIn this experience\, Amber and Luna will guide you through… \n\n\n\n\nBuilding an altar to honor and illuminate the wisdom of our ancestors.\n\n\n\nUtilizing the elements to cultivate deeper awareness and connection to Self\, each other and beyond.\n\n\n\nCalling upon the ancient medicines of dance\, chant and cacao to support a deeper journey inward.\n\n\n\n\nYogic/Vedic scriptures guide us to honor our ancestors diligently. We believe in these guidelines and feel our prayers and offerings will support ALL souls in moving towards a more divine destination. Join us! \n\n\n\nPlease be prepared with the following… \n\n\n\n\nPhotos of your ancestors\n\n\n\nA journal and something to write with\n\n\n\nWarm layers of clothing\n\n\n\nA blanket and something to sit on the ground with (chairs will be provide for those who one) \n\n\n\n\nWe hope to hold this event outside. In the event of inclement weather\, we will move indoors (no refunds). For financial assistance\, please contact Amber\, amber@ashevillecommunityyoga.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Cacao: \n\n\n\nCacao has been used for thousands of years in the Mayan culture of South America and beyond for medicinal\, spiritual and ceremonial purposes. The Mayans believe that cacao opens the emotional center of our body – our heart chakra. They believe the medicine works specifically by bringing us back to the feelings of love and interconnectedness. The Mayans believe that cacao helps us tune into our true and authentic selves and supports our ability to listen deep within to the callings of our heart where the truth of our power and wisdom are stored.  \n\n\n\nCacao beans are the seeds of the cacao tree. The beans\, or seeds\, are a source of many antioxidants called flavonoids. It’s not clear how these might work in the body\, but they appear to relax the blood vessels. This could lead to lower blood pressure\, and reduce inflammation and blockage of blood vessels. \n\n\n\nCacao is a mild stimulant. The cacao usually affects people in a similar way as coffee might. Again\, you do not need to consume the cacao to have a transformation experience during this gathering.  \n\n\n\nAbout Dance: \n\n\n\nDancing heals us.  \n\n\n\nThere are MANY health benefits to dance. Here are just a few… \n\n\n\n\nImproves agility and flexibility\n\n\n\nImproves balance and coordination\n\n\n\nImproves cardiovascular health\n\n\n\nImproves muscle tone and strength\n\n\n\nMaintains and builds bone strength\n\n\n\nAids in weight loss or maintenance\n\n\n\nImproves memory and cognition\n\n\n\nImproves mood\n\n\n\nReduces stress levels\n\n\n\nProvides an opportunity to be in community\n\n\n\nBoosts self-esteem\n\n\n\n\nWhen we move our bodies freely to the rhythms of music\, we often feel the sensations of liberation\, connection and authenticity. Sometimes strong emotions like grief\, anger and sadness will surface. Through dancing\, we’re provided with an opportunity to feel these emotions. Other times we are greeted with more pleasant emotions such as gratitude\, playfulness\, and JOY! Dancing helps us get beyond the distractions and contractions of daily life that hold us back from being our best selves. It is truly medicine for the Soul! \n\n\n\nAbout Awakening Love: \n\n\n\nWomen have gathered together in circles for generations to connect\, awaken and explore their natural instinct to love and serve others. As the creators and caretakers of the world\,we believe that it is essential for us to come together to open our hearts\, lift each other up and hold each other close so we can continue our sacred work in these times. This work is for our: bodies\, minds\, spirits\, communities and planet. \n\n\n\nAwakening Love is a circle of women\, a sisterhood\, that began in 2017. Many of the women who join Awakening Love workshops and retreats have been around since the origins of this special collaboration between our hearts (Amber and Luna) and have grown together over the years.  \n\n\n\nHowever\, we are an open and revolving circle\, always welcoming more kindred hearts to join! We welcome all new and long time sisters into this sacred circle of love where we support one another in accessing connection\, authenticity and empowerment. We invite you to join us!
