Retreat Day 4: Astral Body
60 minutes
•
1h 1m
This is a 60 minute heart opening and bridging practice. We are working with selflessness and eradicating the ego. From Yung Pueblo: “Ego is self-doubt, self-hatred, anxiety, narcissism, fear of others, harshness, impatience a lack of compassion, and illusions.” WHO NEEDS IT?! We are super grounded and active with how we open and bridge our hearts here, using the folding and unfolding to continue to open and re-open. See where you can travel in this practice, as we start to bridge the physical and spiritual. Journal questions for today: 1) When have I been selfish in my life? 2) What might have driven that selfishness (karma? ego?)? 3) What’s the script for re-writing a similar scenario (how might I act differently)?
