Welcome to Energize!
A note from Shanti...
Saddle on up and ride the Ox out of your Box (your comfort
zone/deep-rooted habits) and into the fresh new possibilities and unlimited
potential of the New Year!
In the Chinese tradition, we are heading into the year of the Ox. What
is interesting about this tradition is that a natural balance is depicted
through the alternating years of dominant energy flows: Yin (feminine
energy- years ending in odd numbers) and Yang (masculine energy - years
ending in even numbers). Although the balance of these energies throughout
the year is what we strive to attain, the year of the Ox brings us a year
filled with dominant cooling, softening Yin energy combined with the characteristics
of a grounding, calming, dependable, and patient Earth element. What a
wonderfully balanced blend serving as a container for release, renewal
and transformation in 2009!
This fresh New Year invites the opportunity to shed the old energy, transform
Samskaras (ingrained patterns) and leap out of our perceived limitations
and conditions, our Box, and into the limitless potential of the New Year.
All you need to saddle on up and ride the Ox out of your Box is the inspiration
to release the stale energy/stories of the past year and set a present
moment intention to weave through and energize the upcoming year. I have
two wonderful upcoming offerings to help us do just that...
I am very excited about the upcoming, long-awaited playshop in which I
will be joined by Satya Dubay, an extremely gifted energy worker and healer:
New Year's Cleanse and Renewal ~Yoga & Chakra Playshop on Saturday,
1/10/09 2:00-4:30. This playshop will inspire us to release the residue
of the past year while bringing our subtle and physical bodies into alignment
and balance. Begin your New Year with potent energetic and yogic techniques
that you can easefully integrate into life off your mat. Discounts with
a buddy! I am also looking forward to our Conscious Cooking in Community
January event on Monday 1/26/09 10:00-1:30. We will share a potent yoga
practice and then cook a delicious meal with Chef Jonathan Major. Spots
are filling, so register quickly by emailing me at EnergizeShanti@aol.com.
You can check out all the details for both these offerings under my programs
section.
If you are wishing to commit to a deeper, more personalized
and sustainable transformation in your overall fitness and health, I have
a couple of openings to design personal fitness and wellness programs
to take you into the New Year!
Let's make a commitment to our Selves to saddle on up for a year filled
to the brim with love, peace, and transformation! Together we will ride
out of the old and into the new...one breath at a time, one moment at
a time!
Thank you for stopping by my website!
Deep blessings to you in the year of the Ox!
