A Ceremony of Lightness & Self-Appreciation - Cacao, Yin & Mantra Meditation Journey

A Ceremony of Lightness & Self-Appreciation - Yin, Cacao, Mantra Meditation  

(WATER ELEMENT /GODDESS  KAMALA)

July 10th / 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. 

Am I worthy of my desires, needs, visions and wishes?

Am I worthy of deciding to not want to carry the heavy backpacks anymore? Of my weight, others weight and expectations? What do I expect from myself? And why? Are these truly my desires? Who am I actually?

This journey is an invitation to tune into what your personal definition of lightness and self-appreciation are beyond cultural standards. What makes you feel good? What creates regular pressure on your system? What does it mean to feel lighter? What do you want to release? Forgive?

What are some desires you’ve been pushing back? How would it look to act from a place of self-appreciation in your daily life? Where are you denying yourself pleasure, lightness and the right to change your mind or choose something that feels truly good to your heart, body and mind? What does it mean to take care of yourself?

This yin yoga journey will soften our full body with a focus on our solar plexus and heart space - so that we feel our inner passion and let ourselves be moved by our heart. Kamala is the goddess of abundance, fertility, lightness and beauty. We will do her mantra meditation that is focussing on planting the seeds of our heart wishes and water them, so that they can bloom.

How can we bring more beauty in our lives?

And where can we give ourselves some more grace?

• 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
