Yoga For The Liminal Space
Before the end of the year, before a new one begins, we find ourselves in the space between, where we encounter the opportunity to rewire ourselves, to untangle some things and to restructure others.
This video begins with a conversation about the liminal space, the opportunities that it presents, and how to embody it, using a teaching from the Vijnana Bhairava (a text written in India in the 7th or 8th century). We then bring the teaching into practice through the body with movement and breath. We will end with a short and sweet meditation.
This practice will open your hips, strengthen your legs, and stretch your thighs and your spine, leaving you grounded, energized, and spacious..
If you like this video, subscribe to our channel and create more space to integrate your whole being, embody mythology and philosophy, get moon moments, play with tools for receiving life and for being with yourself, engage in powerful practices, seasonal rituals, and somatic spells for magic in your everyday life.

Thank you for receiving 😃

What if I say no ... solar plexus energy is vital ... 🧿🧿🧿⚔️
It is. No is part of it. I say yes to your no ☀️
A wonderful ending of the series. I like what you mentioned about feelings of self loathing. This episode is very informative and practical. It touches a part of me. What you introduced throughout the 9 episodes guides me to think in a different way and with broader vision. I can feel the effort you put in this, and I wish you lots of luck. Thank you for everything!
Thank you so much! I am so glad this series spoke to you. I enjoyed your participation and it was wonderful to read your comments and emails. Thank you for being so present!
Yuk
This was very good.
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
@@MamaMandala people see maa kaali as a demon but she's demon slayer
@@avish5959right! And we need a goddess who looks like a demon so that we learn to question the way that we demonize certain things/people. And we need a powerful and complex image such as kaki so that we remember our own power and complexity.
I should admit it, but only tonight I noticed you're celebrating the same Goddess 😂I imagined this is a series of separate stories. At the same time, I never imagined I could go with this. The narrative makes me think differently and more open to the other. Please don't stop posting 🌚
I love that! It IS confusing! That’s part of the point I think. Because it is a story of one goddess, but she is many goddesses as well. So it’s a few different stories of a few goddesses. Just like us - we’re not just one thing, are we? She’s the invitation into our complexity. That’s why I love her!
@@MamaMandala Thank you, Hagar! 🙏🏼
A new interesting story. What makes me confused the contradictions within the same entity...Dark & Light - Beautiful & Ugly - Love & Hate, etc. I can't absorb this idea. Also, my religious beliefs are always in the background. Could you please help 😊
Yes! We are all the contradictions. We are made of light and darkness and everything that’s in between. We have beauty and we have parts that are difficult to look at and be with. Everything that we feel aversion toward, exists within us as well. Like the planet, we cycle, like the moon, we phase. We have day and night, fear and anger and joy. love and grief cannot exist without each other. We are a walking , breathing paradox. Truth holds with it opposing energies. Nothing is just one thing. Everything is made of dichotomy. And yes - religion does stand in contrast to these concepts, because religion wants simple answers, clear solutions, and certainty. I think confusion and questioning are important and wise.
@@MamaMandala I just love this!
@@GAMILOVICH😀
😊👉🤔at all events me😃
😜
Listening to your stories everyday, I'm about to think of you as my mother 🐣 I 'm serious 😂 Thank you, Hagar. I truly enjoy what you create.
Awwww that’s really sweet! I’m really glad you enjoy it!
Libras are the best 😎
😂😘
Thank you Ma"m. We Buddhist so believe in this.
May we keep creating a world with more openness, embrace more paradox, and through that make more room for one another. 🙏 Thank you for being in the conversation with me 😀
Glorious!
😀🙏
Check your mail.
This one is much easier to follow. Thank you
Oh yay! I’m so glad! 😀
Should I try this when I need to get relaxed or energized?
I think you can try it with both intentions and see how it makes you feel. It is grounding and slow, but also shakes off excess energy and leaves you clear and ready for what comes next. Let me know what you think once you try it. I’d love to know how it affects you.
@@MamaMandala Many thanks, dear. Alright 👍🏼
Thank you so much 🙏
@@MamaMandala 🙏🏼
Just finished the practice. It's a different experience to me and I like it. I used to deal with my emotions and live in the here and now through yoga nidra and breathworth. So, my practice is always static. The movement challenges me, I felt somehow distracted. Maybe because my usual practice is in the back of my mind 😀 In 2013, I tried different yoga styles but unlike pilates, I found it difficult to practice yoga on my own while watching a video. But you know what, your eagerness to know its impact on me, made me feel I'm not practicing alone. Thank you 🙏🏼
