Sept/Oct newsletter 2013

by Andrew Mournehis


Namaste Dear Yogis and Yoginis, 
Welcome to our 9th and 10th combined divine newsletter for 2013!!!
What a delight to return to Australia, welcomed by "inspiration everywhere"  with budding flowers, birds chanting morning and evening prayers, and nature bursting in an explosion of colour, growth and movement. 
After an extraordinary journey abroad for 7 weeks, i arrived back feeling refreshed, renewed and re-inspired by some wonderful experiences throughout Europe, and the teachings that were shared during the Yoga retreat in Spain in September. I had the great fortune of co-facilitating the Ayurveda yoga retreat with the wonderful Michael Joseph. Thank you to all the beautiful students that attended, you really made the week an ABSOLUTE JOY to teach, and a SPECIAL THANKS to the delightful, knowledgable and extremely funny Michael Joseph, for creating such a space of Lightness and Happiness for all, by  imparting knowledge and wisdom with such passion, humour and grace. I personally have learned so much and am continuing along the Ayurveda path, incorporating the many gems shared in my life, with my beloved partner  and with my students...it is so rewarding to share in this ancient "Wisdom of Life"...Ayurveda...Blessings
 
The Spain Yoga Retreat was such a huge success and the hosts and location were so BRILLIANT that i have already booked the space for Sept 2015...so if you are looking to head to Europe in a couple of years ...set the dates in place for first week in Sept 2015
 
”Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your Heart.” (Anon)
 
Creatively I have been reignited ...the art and beauty in Spain was truly awe-inspiring...Gaudi's work breathtaking!!!
I have many new and exciting projects and prospects brewing, simmering and in the making ...incorporating my many LOVES, Yoga, Dance , Movement, Story, Myth, Tantra, Astrology, Artistry, Poetry , Mysticism and all things Transpersonal...stay tuned for some amazing workshops upcoming later this year, in 2014...and Beyond !

A Wonderful Opportunity to tap into the Healing Energies within and Let them GROW!!! 

The First Step begins by registering today....
"The Colour Green 
The color green is the color of balance and harmony and is the great balancer of the emotions, creating equilibrium between the head and the heart. Green is also the color of growth, the color of spring, of renewal and rebirth. It renews and restores depleted energy. It is the sanctuary away from the stresses of modern living, restoring us back to a sense of well being. This is why there is so much of this relaxing color on the earth, and why we need to keep it that way. Green is an emotionally positive color, giving us the ability to love and nurture ourselves and others unconditionally. A natural peacemaker, it relates to the counselor, the good listener, the social worker. It loves to contribute to society. It is the charity worker, the good parent and the helpful neighbor. Green promotes a love of nature, and a love of family, friends, pets and the home. It is the color of the garden lover, the home lover and the good host. It is generous and loves to share, and is the color of prosperity and abundance, 
Green is the heart centre of the body.
Positive Effects of Green:
Rejuvenating: The color green revitalizes us when we are physically, mentally or emotionally exhausted.
Nurturing: Because of its link with the heart, green urges us to nurture ourselves and others. Green is also nurturing to us - another reason why it is the most predominant colour on earth.

Dependable, agreeable and diplomatic: The color green helps us to see situations clearly from all sides."
excerpt from Colour psychology to empower and Inspire you



I have always viewed Yoga as a path of Self-discovery and Healing, and I have gained so much through tapping into the vast expansiveness in the Hub of the Heart....a place where we have 108 vital pathways and "Rivers of Life" (Nadis) pooling into and out of... as such, it is an integral centre of Healing, Health, Personal Growth and Spiritual Unfoldment
 Yoga teaches us many things, amongst the most valuable are how to work with the dis-eases, challenges, and obstacles on our path. The Healing and Growth comes from Within.
When we can see the Heart centre as a 12 petalled lotus flower, with 3 petals opening and unfolding for each of the 4 levels of our Consciousness, we discover the extraordinary potency that lies within the power of our Hearts and radiates with the colour Green
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU WEAR THE COLOUR GREEN TO THIS INTENSIVE
Each Morning will practice both Dynamic and Restorative Yoga Asana, Various Beneficial and Healing Pranayama, Ancient Mudras and Kriyas that enliven and bring balance and harmony to the Heart, Tantric  Philosophies and Esoteric teachings on the Power of the Colour GREEN. Classes will be accompanied  by Inspiring Music, Poetry, Prose, Creative Visualisations and Meditations, Svadhyaya (Deep Personal Self Enquiry) and practical teachings toward creating more balance, health and healing within oneself.
This Intensive will be crucial for all those of you wishing to bring health, happiness, joy and healing into your lives, and really living from the HEART!!!
 
I will be bringing in some Valuable AYURVEDIC Gems on how to Balance and Heal oneself Emotionally
Come give this offering to your HEART AND SOUL!!!
PLEASE BRING A YOGA MAT IF YOU HAVE ONE, A JOURNAL AND A PEN. All else will be provided including useful practical and informative handouts.

I am increasingly inspired by the artistry of yoga as a play of Movement, Voice, Expression, Storytelling, Symbolism, Mythology and Metaphor. Having come from a dance and choreographic background, I simply love and adore the freedom of expression...the grace of movement and dance...and the weaving of Yogic practices, Divine mudras( gestures) and asanas to create a storyboard, back drop and art Instillation in Motion.
I am currently in the process of integrating over 18 years of dance, yoga, movement, and art therapy into a holistic medium of healing and self expression.   This Weekend workshop will explore the Ancient Art of Yoga and the ways in which it can aid us in living fully expressed, creative, joyful, abundant and Conscious lives.
I will be incorporating many aspects of yoga, art therapy, transpersonal, therapeutic activities and avenues for exploring our creative expression. It will provide a greater understanding as to how to work and play with our creative energy,  balancing and calming our emotions, refining our artistic skills,  heightening our Intuition, and Living to our Highest CREATIVE Potential.
