Spontaneity is the Magic of All Things

"Spontaneity: Trust, Let Go & Flow."

I opened a book without hesitation or regard to any particular search and stumbled upon those words. This was a day after hearing my main mustachioed man drop in a conversation, "Spontaneity is the magic of all things!". 

I couldn't even give ya the content or context of our dialogue except those words. They stood out, they shined, they wanted to be heard.

So in my yoga classes this week, we're exploring this theme through our practice of movement, breath work and chanting. ..OM GAM..OM GAM..OM GAM...108 times. It only feels like a fleeting second of a magical high, of spontaneity, of something different; but it enlivens us...it wakes us up. 

Through this we ignite our root chakra, Muladhara, to lay foundation to trust, to feel the density of the Earth beneath and around us, and to awaken our primal connection. In order to be loose, whimsical, spontaneous & open for adventure, we really need to feel stable in ourselves to do so. If thoughts and concerns are constantly flooding the mind with fears, anxieties and obnoxious judgements, well then we aren't going to draw sparkly excitement into our lives. Here we find the use of mantra and chanting as a benefit to the fluctuations of the mind. We honor Ganesha..OM GAM..and create a road to freedom. Ganesha supports us in removing obstacles and dissolving negativity and that which holds us back from enjoying the magical and spontaneous moments we have the privilege as a human to experience!

Chanting is a fun, easy and delightful way to "get into meditating". For me, chanting provides an expressive outlet for what's ruminating in the mind. I hope you join me tomorrow morning for a Vinyasa Yoga Flow set to the tune of ..OM GAM..trusting and letting go....allowing spontaneous energy to flow!
