Ruby offered this free 30 Min. Morning Movement, Breath & Meditation on Memorial Day, 5/27/24 as a way to celebrate Inspire Studio's 12th Anniversary.
This practice will prepare your body and mind to be present enough to really benefit from a seated meditation session.
We'll begin with a short mantra to help us center before moving into a sequence that includes movements and breath techniques to prepare you to sit for meditation and set an intention for your day! We'll also have special guest, Cathy Herford ([email protected]) present to send restorative Reiki energy during the meditation segment.
The Gayatri Mantra:
Om bhur bhuvah svah
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasya dhimahi
Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat
" The eternal, earth, air, heaven. That glory, that resplendence of the sun. May we contemplate the brilliance of that light. May the sun inspire our minds”. Just as the sun illuminates the land, this mantra is said to fill the faithful chanter with all the potential energy in the cosmos. It calls upon the infinite light of consciousness to guide our actions and beliefs. The mantra gives thanks to both the life-giving sun and the Divine. -Translation by Douglas Brooks
