Late winter flowers are blooming showing us that spring will be coming soon. Time to start preparing our minds and bodies as well as our gardens for the bounty that spring and summer will bring.
We are fortunate to have Master Bodhi teaching in April. I will be teaching some foundation Dharma classes as well as my ever popular Reiki class.
Akasha Yoga
April 14th-15th 10-3pm both days
Includes a check in to fine tune your practice on April 29th**
For centuries, Buddhist monks have practiced Akasha Yoga to help them enter the Zen state, the superhighway to Enlightenment. This movement practice connects the sixteen mudras of Akashagarbha Bodhisattva. The gentle and flowing movements connect you to the Universal Wisdom found in the Akasha or all-pervading life force. In a very short time, cultivators will bring together body and mind, movement and nature. It’s an easy practice for all ages. The self-spiritual light in the cultivator’s body will smoothly connect to the light of the heavenly bodies of the universe. The practitioner may experience the earth’s gravitation and the heavenly bodies’ pull, letting her or his body experience significant changes. The goal of doing this practice is not merely to have improved health, but to embark upon the path of wisdom. Ultimately, it is about realizing wisdom in order to be one with all and every dharma and thus achieve the state of ENLIGHTENMENT.
You will learn:
* All 3 levels of the practice and receive an Abesheka – a pouring of holy oil upon the crown which empowers the practice
* How to combine the Mantra and Visualization with the moving Mudra of Akasha Yoga
* To Use this practice to enhance Health and Awareness
* A Gentle Flowing Movement that Connects You to Universal Wisdom – The Akashic Records
* $300
Dedicated practice will promote well-being on all levels, increase wealth and remove any obstacles to right thinking and action in one’s life.

Treasure Vase**
Saturday April 28th
10am-3pm in Sebastopol
Treasure Vase has a very profound effect on the energetic body and can bring forth an inner Qi-releasing movement in a very short period of time. The energy brought forth in this manner can fight against aging and protect one’s life, allowing the practitioner to resist all kinds of illness and open up one’s wisdom eye. This practice will also support the practitioner in being able to easily withstand every possible environmental condition, including extreme heat and cold. It can also assist you to live free from worry, defilement, and sufferings and to experience peace and fulfilled wishes. For one who continues with this practice, a higher and deeper state of consciousness is achieved, creating unfathomable spiritual discovery and causing true wisdom to emerge.
