It is said that our energy follows our thoughts: "Where the mind goes, Chi flows."
It makes sense therefore that if we want our energy (chi) to flow in a positive direction, we also would require our thoughts to be positive and encouraging in nature, leading to favourable outcomes. This isn't always so easy when life and distractions get in the way.
Ways in which we can achieve success in this area are by manifesting, intention or goal setting and practiscing greater awareness/mindfulness.
In yoga we talk about stilling the citta vrittis, the whirlings of the mind. We aim for peace and calm, avoiding our thoughts taking us off in a direction that we seem to have no control over.
Gently quietening the mind takes skill, and is a practice that we need to come back to time and time again to have success. We aim to become the observer of the mind, not being pulled in by our thoughts. The result of achieving a calming of the mind can mean that we have less stress and more balance in our lives.
During this Yin session we will explore ways in which we can be still and quiet with ourselves using Yin postures, pranayama and meditation.
Please note the session may not be suitable for complete beginners to Yin Yoga.
