Pure Essence

Let us never forget


Let us never forget the one thing that is true; our pure essence.

Much more powerful than any words or headlines, because it's a feeling. As collective rage, anger and fear rampantly moves through both inner and outer worlds, of differences and beliefs, let us never forget the transparency and untainted truth and bliss of pure essence.

Let us never forget to ‘check-in’ many times a day wherein the great dome of our ribs, runs river and rhythm of life force through our breath. Let us breathe our 'way in' together & meet shadows of hate with loving embrace.

Let us never forget the tremor behind our beating hearts, of the one who cares, the one who is kind and generous, the one who loves and laughs for no reason nor thing in return, and it is from here profundity of courage, faith, trust and surrender arises, and it is that which we need.

Let us never forget that when something doesn’t feel right, it is the open-ending pure essence who knows. It is our inherent truth; which is pure bliss and is the path of the heart.

PEARL The light of truth cannot be seen just as a pearl remains inside its shell . I was truly delighted when I realised this title. Not only the protagonist's name, PEARL holds many meaning and association such as the light of the full moon, fruits, wisdoms... the awakening of consciousness. While a black pearl represents tears and sadness, and also the street name for opiates; black pearl. This story is full of twists & turns. PEARL tells a poetic sense of betrayal and deception transcending the shadows of the human psyche. She not only finds herself through her darkest hours but finds how destiny meets her. PEARL is now availabl e

The Subtle Body
By Website Editor April 25, 2021
This last year has taken such a tremendous toll on the emotional body leaving residual stuff beneath our skin and in the air from impact and intrusion. Free-falling through uncharted emotions - estranged feelings of dis-comfort, unease, worry - about our future. Upset & hurt. Of things said and unspoken via the domain of fear, threat and survival - leaving unresolved issues. Albeit it frightening blessings arise when pushed beyond such limits - it is here we can somehow open the door of transparency and expand into an ever widening field of awareness. This opportunity - a configuration of body mind spirit, is Divine connection and is where offerings of healings just happen; if open to the opportunities. Yoga for self healing is a unique and non judgmental approach that eases into those tender, vulnerable spots; developing compassion. Deeply soothe for release in body, mind & emotions to be open to opportunities of healing and find a NEW anchoring point within.

Healing Heart

Tomorrow’s yoga session at 830am is dedicated to the last Full Moon of 2020. A sensitive phase as She (the keeper of feminine energy in spirituality, referred to as Mother Moon) aligns with the watery sign of Cancer. Attuning to the energy of the Full Moon guides us beyond the swell of emotions into our true core where we can open with compassionate attentiveness while edging-in. An immersion that frees-up the most fragile of feelings, including those hidden ones. The purpose is to let go for a full-on release. This may require forgiveness of one self, or others and taking deep breathes of acceptance for the most tender spots. Breathing old, destructive ways or pure-grief out, tears may be felt in those longing exhales freeing a heavy heart. It will be in these emotional waves that’ll wash and soothe the shore of y/our being. If you'd like to join us online, email: hridayayogauk@gmail.com for details to register.

Our fragmented world.. what impact is this having on you and your communities? It is important to remain calm so we can support each other. It’s from this place of rest we can start to re-create & reform community spirit in ways not yet known to us. This can be difficult to sense, visualise -never mind materialise - when emotions and thoughts are distorted and in a victim state and thrown off balance by loss, confusion, frightened, lack of trust, causing blind reactions. In a time where our future has never been so uncertain let’s journey together through these fragile veils to enter the subtle, inner-world & go beyond senses for healing, balance & especially courage since life continues fragmenting around us. And since none of us have the answers. Yoga & The Subtle Body is an 8 week journey starting Thursday 15th October offering guidance for healing and courage. Through yoga movement, dance, breath-work, blessings, meditations we’ll explore these hidden strengths each week. Expect to: • Step back to see clearer, helping remove blockages. • Recognise sensations of your inner world. • Imbue the infinite power of the heart with pain of the past, of letting go. • Transmute fears into positive actions. • Integrate inner healing to help outer worlds for positivity & creativity. • Commit to regular practise (tuning inward regularly becomes more natural). • Through self healing, become a beacon of light for others. YOU can be in balance during this Global change. Let's do it together.
