Inner Body Bright
Humpty Dumpty was Inner Body Dull,
Humpty Dumpty was contracted, not full;
All the Queen Yogis, and All the
Yogi Knights,
Taught him to Breathe
Inner Body Bright.
When you feel you are about to crack, do this breath so you bounce right back.
Close your eyes and visualize two eggs in your ribcage; one on each side.
Name one egg Humpty, and the other one Dumpty.
Breathe equally into each oblong sphere, vertically and horizontally, spine held dear.
Expand all sides, softly open your eyes to face the world back on track.
Your Inner Body’s Bright…so don’t hold back.
Chakra-Man: The Official Grounded Super Hero
Sedef Dion who teaches a Pre-Grounded class at Springs Yoga shared with me the story of a four year old girl who in the cutest way mistakenly called Savasana….Lasagna. This inspired me to write a Savasana visualization with a Lasagna theme that Amy and I recently used to connect with our Fernbank Elementary Yoga Club students. After we did our practice complete with the Lasagna Savasana, one of our students..the Principal’s seven year old daughter said…”that was so relaxing…this could help me fall asleep at night”. Since it was her birthday that day, we wanted to put together a recording that her parents could play for her as she lays her head down for a good night rest after a long day.
We all have a limited, contracted, outer surface. Yoga teaches us to dig deep into our center to know our true, authentic selves. Yoga Teacher Barbie was gifted to me on my birthday and I have chosen to Ground her and help her to expand her consciousness. All of my students are gifts; yet this is my first one who was born in Indonesia and had a non-existent childhood,. No wonder she has restricted knowledge.
