Alternate Nostril Breathing

HEALING MODALITY OF THE DAY
Alternate Nostril Breathing
A few minutes of alternate nostril breathing (pranayama) can help restore imbalances in your brain.  It improves sleep, encourages a calmer emotional state, boosts your thinking power and calms your nervous system.
We don’t breathe equally through our nostrils, we tend to breathe more dominantly through the left or right nostril. The left nostril is calming – the right nostril is energizing
Yogis believe that many diseases can be traced to disturbed nasal breathing. Consciously breathing through your right and left nostrils alternately helps you to activate and access your whole brain.

Alternate nostril breathing – purifying breath
Use right thumb to close off right nostril.
Inhale slowly through left nostril
Pause for a moment
Now close left nostril with ring finger and release thumb off right nostril
Exhale through your right nostril
Now, inhale through right nostril
Pause
Use thumb to close of right nostril
Breathe out through left nostril
Continue for 2-3 minutes
Sit quietly for a few moments after completion.

*Do not do this exercise if you are pregnant or have a cold or a sinus infection.

HEALING MODALITY OF THE DAY: Katsugen

Katsugen is inner directed movement that allows the body to move in the most optimum way, it releases stress, toxins and others causes of dis-ease and brings the body into a more natural balance. Take a few minutes for this. Stand up or while sitting, close your eyes and go within, allow your body to move in any way it wants to, the movements can be small and subtle or larger and more expansive and anything in between. Feel into how your body wants to move, it can be dance-like or a stretch or any way you feel called to move...follow the energy and allow your body to flow in this way until you feel complete. 

Katsugen is about giving free rein to the autonomic nervous system's involuntary movements. It takes the body beyond conscious exercise into the realms of primal expressive movement arising from the ancient core of our being. It is about going beyond the intellect and connecting with the body's natural wisdom.
 

Possible benefits of Katsugen practice:
Relief from stress
Enhanced self-healing and resistance to illness & depression
Increased physical co-ordination, stamina, suppleness/flexibility
Increased self-confidence, happiness and sense of well-being
Greater mental flexibility and open-mindedness
Greater ability for self expression/creativity
A deepening of spiritual values & sense of inner strength

Taking a Pause

HEALING MODALITY OF THE DAY: taking a pause...breathe slowly and deeply closing your eyes, let your ribs, belly and chest expand as you inhale and soften as you exhale...come into your heart center, feeling it expand and soften as you come into the stillness here...take a couple minutes here, acknowledge silently to yourself what you feel grateful for....take that in, then silently acknowledge any regrets you might have....allow yourself to stay in this calm state a couple more minutes until you feel complete and refreshed.

Happy Wednesday! It's an outrageously gorgeous day in Santa Barbara. I feel very blessed to live in a beautiful place. I would love to share more about Resonance Sessions. Resonance Sessions facilitate and support us in consciously evolving, creating positive change and a positive future.  

Our crises serve to inspire us to innovate higher ways of being in the world and in relationship with ourselves and others.  Adapting and positively changing to meet the needs of our ever-changing environment keeps us present and available for the challenges and opportunities that are showing up.  

Receiving Resonance Sessions helps us to transform old negative patterns, limitations, areas of conflict or stuck-ness and become more present, connected and available to live consciously, healthfully and in alignment with our positive intentions. This healing system works well with virtually any kind of issue in regard to health, relationship, life, career etc.

I am now offering Resonance Sessions via Skype - 

For more info or to book a session locally in Santa Barbara or via phone or skype, please email me at sarah@fantasticbeingness.com

I look forward to hearing from you!

May you be blessed with radiant health, wellness and abundant joy.

Monday - mostly coherent w/ chance of intermittent chaos

It's a beautiful partly cloudy/partly sunny day in Santa Barbara... I'm working on my computer at the coffeehouse today and thinking about harmony, conflict and coherence....
Yesterday I spent all afternoon cleaning house and organizing my home office...today i woke up feeling serene and peaceful energized to start the week. I notice that when my home is disorderly, the clutter and chaos pulls at me...which robs me of vital energy in my life. I feel conflicted because one of my core values is to live in a clean, beautiful and harmonious environment, one that supports me in living and creating health, well-being and balance.

When we are in conflict or out of harmony in some way, it's challenging or impossible to manifest our positive intentions; however, when we are in harmony and resonating with our ideals and intentions, our system and the universe supports us.... Just as a clean and organized environment supports us.

Resonance Sessions assists us in resolving conflicts and creating harmony within...so we are empowered to manifest our highest potential and vision.

I've just created a Facebook Business Page for Resonance Sessions,  the energetic healing system that effectively identifies and transforms limitations, challenges & problems on all levels to resonance with your greatest potential. Please stop by and say hello...

What are Resonance Sessions?

Resonance Sessions is my name for the energetic healing system,  Holographic Repatterning®. This is a process that makes it possible for us to create positive change in any area of our life where we experience limitation. In a Resonance Session we are able to identify how our problems provide us with an opportunity to move to a higher level of coherence, order and awareness. Ultimately, all positive change involves moving to higher states of coherence within ourselves. Problems simply let us know that we have areas of non-coherence that need to be identified and transformed.

Resonance Sessions (aka Holographic Repatterning®) is based on a foundation of principles from new physics and psychology as well as ancient knowledge of the Chakra system of India and the Five Element-Meridian system of China.

Muscle checking (applied kinesiology) allow us to identify and transform non-coherent patterns that manifest as our difficulties, life-depleting habits and negative perceptions.

Once we transform these non-coherent patterns, positive outcomes, on one level or another, are automatically experienced.

Resonance is based on the idea--that everything has a vibration, or resonance, and that what we resonate or vibrate with, is what we will experience.  Another way of saying this is, "What we resonate with, we attract"--a restatement of the Law of Attraction.  The underlying principles have been taught in the ancient wisdom on India and other cultures for thousands of years.  What is new is that the ideas are now being validated through scientific research in Quantum Physics.

Sessions are one hour long and are available over the phone or via skype. In person sessions are available in Santa Barbara, CA.
