Pink & Green Tourmaline Heart Opening Gemstones
I love it when my Yoga Practice inspires a necklaces design. The other day I was practicing some Heart Opening Yoga poses. I was moving into a pose called “the Camel”. Reaching back to touch my feet, I could feel the stretch in my body and spontaneous began to focus on the healing energies of pink and green Tourmaline.
When my yoga practice was finished I went into my bead studio and found a stunning Tourmaline Pendant. It had both the green and pink Tourmaline stones. Next I found a strand of faceted multi-color Tourmalines to string the heart opening pendant onto. Both pink and green Tourmaline are known as Heart Chakra Stones. Tourmaline has a soothing energy for the heart and can facilitate forgiveness and emotional healing.
It’s natural to put up a protective shield around our Heart Chakra to avoid pain from loss. >> Continue reading
Practicing Yoga By The Lake
The early morning sunlight filters through the Gambel Oaks and Ponderosa Trees. The hummingbirds are already active, searching for anything red, including my bandana. There is a deep quite, a peace in these woods. I take my yoga mat down by the lake. Big mountain views greet me. The lake is reflective this morning, gentle ripples creating never ending patterns. I place my yoga mat on the grass, in the sun, craving the warmth. The cool mountain air brings a chill to my still sleepy body. As I begin my yoga practice I face the sun in the east and begin doing Sun Salutations ( Surya Namaskar), sweeping my arms up over my head, reaching towards the sun, giving thanks for the warmth it provides, shining light on these beautiful grasses that surround this mountain lake. I bow down towards the earth, connecting to the Mother who provides me with everything I need. As I bring my hands back together in Namaste I give thanks for this day. >> Continue reading
Why do Yoga?
Someone asked me the other day why I create yoga and chakra jewerly. Good question I responded and answered with— I began designing yoga and chakra jewelry as a way to support my own yoga practice. The next question followed, why do you do yoga? Even bigger question. Lots of answers came to mind, but the next day I received this email from my friends at Pathways www.pathwaysbayfield.com. This description of yoga really helps explain why yoga is so important to my life and why I love creating jewelry to help inspire the yoga path.Why Yoga?
Developed in India, yoga is a spiritual practice that has been evolving for the last 5,000 years or so. The original yogis were reacting, in part, to India’s ancient Vedic religion, which emphasized rituals. The yogis wanted a direct spiritual experience — one on one — not symbolic ritual. >> Continue reading
