Honoring the need for rest ❤️
Added 2021-11-02 18:14:20 +0000 UTCThis Samhain brought a lot of purging and releasing. So much so that it manifested physically, and I went *full stop* to rest, heal, and allow everything to recalibrate.
The body knows.
When we stop — even if for a day — it becomes very clear how much we are constantly stimulated, how much we respond to on the day-to-day, and how much we expect from ourselves. In rest, I was free to explore ideas, insights, shadows, and authentic desires without the external world constantly trying to steer me in multiple directions.
This is the richness of Scorpio season, the pull to go deeper and listen. Because Scorpio isn’t interested in the superficial ideas of what we *think* we need to do. Scorpio guides us to our true innermost needs and desires.
It’s no coincidence that we begin our practices this week with an exploration of Apana Vayu — the downward current of energy that allows us to ground and root deeper into ourselves and the earth. We will tap into this with Morning Meditation tomorrow at 8 a.m. (https://mandigarrisonyoga.as.me/morningmeditation) and Yoga for Stress Relief at Tower Hill at 12:30 p.m. (www.towerhillbg.org/events-calendar).
In the evening tomorrow, we’ll be connecting with the new moon in Scorpio through a virtual restorative yoga and yoga nidra practice to go *full stop* for 90 minutes and tap into the Scorpio oceanic realm of inspiration and alignment that has been waiting for you to listen. Rest, restore, and feel into the energy that is uniquely you. Register at https://mandigarrisonyoga.as.me/newmoonrestore and use your coupon code PATREON5OFF for the discount.
And so much gratitude to those who filled in for me these couple of days so that I could get back to and show up at no less than 100%. I look forward to sharing new offerings, ideas, and special events in the coming days and weeks.
Love, Mandi
