Why 11.11.11 Is a BIG Deal!

Are you wondering what all the hoopla is about for the date 11.11.11?  Other than the fact that it is Penelope's second birthday?  :)  


It is an auspicious day to say the least.


According to Numerology, 11 is a Master Number, representing the fulfillment of the soul's striving and mastery of a type rarely seen on earth.  It reflects the transformation of the physical into the Divine.


According to Yogi Bahn, it is also the day the Age of Aquarian begins.  You know, the age people started talking and singing in the 60's.  Well, it will be here soon.  Just fyi, the Age of Aquarius is also know as the Age of Information, when information is available to all, in turn aiding in healing and transformation. 


11.11.11 is an opportunity to really feel the Divine Spirit alive within you and in your life.  An opportunity to connect to it more easily.  There will be a massive influx of Light on this day, and many people will be meditating and doing yoga simultaneously.


I am pretty excited about it!


If you would like to participate, here are some websites that are doing global meditations:


One Breath, One World


Era Of Peace from 11:00-11:11a


If you are local, Abundance Wellness Center will be hosting some free yoga classes as a way to celebrate.




Here are some ideas about how to make your day more special, sacred and connect to this energy and light:


1. Meditate or go to a Yoga class.  If you have never meditated before, try this one.  Super easy.  If Meditating is not your thing, go to church and spend some time in prayer.


2.  Be mindful as you go about your day. Note every action and thought, try not to be on auto-pilot.


3.  Be self reflective.  Look back over the last couple of months or even the past year.  Think about the times you were your Best Self and the times you were not your Best Self.


4.  Make an intention to connect deeper with Divine/Spirit and your Authentic Self (the REAL you, beneath all your fake social masks that you have built up over your life, to help you cope with trauma from your childhood or from any period in your life). 


5. Make an intention to have all your actions come from the Light of God/Universe.  I think the term "What Would Jesus Do?" is so lame and misrepresented (but stemmed from a good place), but maybe come up with your own Heart's Question/Deepest Question.  


I hope you all have a wonderful Spirit-filled day on 11.11.11!! I am so looking forward to spending this day with my daughter as we celebrate her birthday, I am not sure what we are going to do, but it will be a day filled with Love and Light.

Mama Meditation: Saa,Taa,Naa,Maa

I love this meditation.  It is so simple and easy, and unlike a traditional meditation where you just focus on your breath, this one gives you something to do.  And for me, if their is movement and rhythm involved,  I am much more likely to do it at all, and much more likely to stay focused.

To begin, disregard the mountain of laundry behind me in the photo.  In true Mama Yoga fashion, this is how I roll.

Lay on your stomach, with your chin on the floor.  Keep your head straight, to keep your spine straight and in proper alignment.  Lay your arms down by your side, with your palms facing up.

Then you mentally chant the words, Saa, Taa, Naa, Maa.  As you chant each sound, close a finger and thumb together.

So, on Saa, you close your first finger and thumb.  On, Taa, you close your ring finger and thumb and so forth.

The reason you are on your stomach for this meditation is because it stimulates and balances your "Moon Centers".  Each woman has 11 Moon Centers and they are located in different parts of the body.

Your psyche resides in each Moon Center for approximately 2.5 days, and each Moon Center is associated with a different emotion or quality, so roughly when you have cycled through all the centers you have completed one menstrual cycle.  Moon Centers are a fascinating topic, I promise to write more in depth about them soon.

Isn't Penelope adorable?  You guys probably get so bored with us oohing and ahhing over our daughters, but we just can't help it, so bear with us. 

This meditation is supposed to help you break old habits, assist you going through transitions and change and any accompanying emotional turmoil.  I don't know about you, but that is my life all day, every day, it seems.

I have been doing this meditation before bed, every night, for the past two months.  It has been a nice way from me to transition from laptop/work mode to shifting into relaxation/sleep mode.

Enjoy!
