Through spoken/written word and the focus of our thoughts, we begin to sow the seeds of what we experience in our reality. By creating a space of awareness around what we feed energetically, we have the opportunity to adjust any thoughts that are not in alignment with the light and goodness or our true essence. As the light of each day begins to now grow, may we create, attract, manifest, experience, receive and radiate the following qualities and attributes for the New Year:
love, compassion, passion, community, connection, prosperity, vitality, aliveness, vibrancy, abundance, companionship, creativity, grace, joy, bliss, laughter, music, dance, friendship, decadence, affection, tenderness, intimacy, exploration, transformation, adventure, travel, learning, playfulness, understanding, forgiveness, acceptance, radiance, harmony, beauty, expression, artistry, awareness, gratitude, humility, openness, embracing, welcoming, inclusive, heart-centered, deep listening, clarity, guidance, ease, healthy, relaxation, indulgence, tranquility, spaciousness, inspiration, magic, freedom, courage, integrity, empowerment, authenticity, truth…

Short Sol, Long Moon


the shifting nature of clarity
Originally uploaded by kamphora

With every heart beat, may I give and receive love fully
With every cycle of breath, may I trust Spirit
With every conclusion, may I notice the end of the discovery
With every claim I stake, may I see what owns me
With every desire, may I sense the illusion of lack in my yearning
With every wrong I make, may I notice the absence of compassion
With every song, may I celebrate freedom of expression
With every dance, may I fully appreciate and accept my body
With every hurt I feel, may I understand I’ve given away my power
With every penny I spend, may I feel gratitude for its provision
With every fear, may I relax deeper into my body
With every action I take, may I be the change I want to see in the world
With every word I communicate, may I witness when it is any voice other than my higher self
With every drop of water, may I feel connected to all life
With every bite I take, may I listen to my body
With every moment, may there be a space for the witness
With every step, may I feel connected to the earth
With every instant, may I experience its rightness
With every challenge, may I learn its lesson
With every ailment, may I forgive
With every doing, may I notice the proving
With every embrace, may I feel all sensations
With every resistance, may I yield to the flow of grace
With every breeze, may I acknowledge my ancestors
With every comparison, may I practice acceptance and understanding
With every animal, may I celebrate unconditional love
With every photograph, may I release the past
With every immersion, may I notice the illusion of separation
With every bit of trash, may I reduce my waste
With every purchase, may I notice any emptiness I’m attempting to fill
With every stretch, may I experience inner spaciousness
With every yes, may I honor my boundaries
With every no, may I notice how I limit myself
With every performance, may I see my need to please
With every opinion I solicit, may I acknowledge my yearning for approval
With every passing day, may I embrace every aspect of myself
With every occasion I experience defeat, may I have the courage to keep going

New Moon Nia – Dance Your Desires

Join us for a special Nia class in honor of the creative energies surrounding the new moon. This final new moon of 2009 brings together the light of the sun and the emotions and past of the moon into a fantastic opportunity to move full steam ahead with the blessings of the Divine. Each new moon opens the door to a new beginning. Dance and create today, for now there is an opening allowing us an energized and universally supported opportunity for growth!

During this gathering we will connect to and express our heart’s desires through movement, music, visualization and vocalization. Blending dance, martial and healing arts, our tool for exploring our senses, bodies and emotions is Nia. Nia is a barefoot practice which gently warms the body bringing it to a cardio work-out, then gracefully completes with cooling stretches. Wear clothing that expresses your unique beauty and that allows you to move freely. Please bring water for optimum hydration. Call Tamara (rhymes w/ sara) at 404.822.6952 with any questions.
