March 2021 No, we are talking about Yin here and its connection to Chinese Medicine. The Yin practice is similar to yoga. It uses the body to move energy through channels in the body. This energy is called Prana in yoga and Chi in Chinese medicine, the basis for Yin. The Governor Vessel is one of those channels, often refered to as a meridian, and it’s a big one! This energy channel runs from the perineum, up the back, over the top of the head, and down the face to the top lip. When the energy is blocked or stagnant in certain areas along its path, it might affect us as backaches, headaches, mental disturbances, and cold or allergy illnesses. In Chinese Medicine, acupuncturists use many points along this channel to treat many of those ailments and several more. Yoga energy channels are very similar. The Governor Vessel runs along the same passage as Vedic Yoga’s line of energy called the Sushumna Channel. The Sushumna Channel carries Prana from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, intersecting the Chakras (specific points of energy) along the way. Blockages and stagnation in this channel can be found at the particular chakras where the ailment arises. According to Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and Acupressure, the use of herbs and homeopathic tinctures are great ways to unblock Chi, also useful is the practice of Yin. Yin is a movement based system that prescribes its practitioners hold meridian-specific postures for several minutes. This method encourages a gentle stressing of connective tissue and fascia, slowly allowing Chi to begin to flow. In Yoga practice, the use of postures and movements help the practitioner to identify with the body. Pranayama (breathwork) then allows this awareness to inhabit the physical and mental body. Meditation takes it one step further, linking us to our energetic body and the Self. This is where the real work unblocking the Chakras begins. Prana travels from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, moving slowly and in unison with the breath, clearing the Chakras along the way. https://www.lynneheadley.com/blog/2021/5/21/who-is-in-your-sangha monthly 0.5 2021-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1621616300894-NZFZHD5N9PR0CRKCPEIG/50586811-21E5-46DE-B3CE-79107320606A_1_105_c.jpeg Life in Balance - Who is in Your Sangha? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lynneheadley.com/home-moksha daily 1.0 2024-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1533158966112-6IGAZJUW8LAXNUD05EM8/E-RYT500.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1629303260178-ZNKSXV3TCWZ4OS58ZM4Z/YACEP.png Welcome - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532623596880-4SSGKB6SE91RG3HC3ZFA/15170878_10211466239155902_7201602240655628652_n.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1538410479207-5717EPQKQDC8WHXO9JUD/IMG_7811.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532623629163-HLZBPBTPKS42LLE5LTQ5/IMG_2908.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532623894701-N2ZGAEC9XMVBGJ9J9GOX/20150516_141945.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532623908148-URXYQ0DAJ3P6OC3YJ8AR/20150516_160308.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532623944659-4LBWSG1ELL0XWNZMWQ6I/IMG_8631.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532624040560-JE9LCOTADIF9OOJDEUKM/IMG_7036.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532624070354-3LKTD6VIUMANH6BP2D4R/20150516_152010.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532969070141-93I9HG8SEJ601X995WMH/20150516_152208+copy.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532969113221-X1XC7TMHY93Z4BR3XUD7/IMG_1021.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1538410210812-YE0I5TOQFZ2SVB3QXQPO/15994777_10212066856610963_2506582780999672416_o.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532624664137-7RVUYW7PXPG875LGNA13/20150516_160027+2.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532624748339-68F12SHQJB723EYO15F7/IMG_3529.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1532624693138-FQEE4QCREF1ICD9LYEKD/IMG_2779.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/da13a253-4d77-4733-8c5c-8be7f6575651/Screen+Shot+2016-12-19+at+8.33.55+AM.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1694705609983-NH7L2XAK5920ZRXT7H97/15170878_10211466239155902_7201602240655628652_n.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1694705610741-BNG1Q2UOU33KX5W35Q67/20150516_160308.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1694705799076-8PT2M0YDKDNIACBSD242/Screen+Shot+2022-03-23+at+3.00.13+PM.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1694705864368-5NWJZJZK4O38EB0MEV4M/IMG_7811.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1694714587283-MIVRG3ATPBFQRIBYUBJZ/IMG_1026.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1694705980627-ARCK02V11ATIXCM8GZDB/IMG_2908+2.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b59f4743e2d09fa5ec434f6/1617898824091-XCH87OAQS7GW4OOY0FVC/IMG_5146.jpeg Welcome - Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet.
