It comes from the root yug and originally meant "to hitch up," as in attaching horses to a vehicle. Another definition was "to put to active and purposeful use." Still other translations are "yoke, join, or concentrate." Essentially, yoga has come to describe a means of uniting, or a method of discipline. The ancient Hindu text called the Vedas is the scripture that possesses the oldest teachings of yoga. The Vedas appeared sometime around the first and second millennia B.C. up to the 6th century B.C. in what is now India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Many wise sages called rishis lived solitary existences in the forests, where they wrote down their visions to benefit mankind. Patanjali was one rishi in particular who, sometime between 400 B.C. and 200 A.D., recorded the Yoga Sutra, which aims to define classical yoga. In the Yoga Sutra, Patanjali describes eight steps of yoga (also called the eight limbs of classical yoga). These include yamas and niyamas (which comprise the ethical foundation of yoga practices), asanas (physical postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (deep, sustained concentration), dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (bliss). The reason yoga has played an important role in physical and mental therapy is due to the fact that the practice works on holistic principles or unification and harmony of the mind, body and spirit. Yoga has succeeded as an alternate type of therapy for diseases like arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, digestive disorders and other chronic health problems where modern science has sometimes failed. Medical scientists report that yoga therapy is also successful because it helps create a sense of balance in the endocrine and nervous systems, which directly impact all the other organs and systems of the body. MINDFUL SELF AWARENESS What is mindful self awareness? - Mindful self awareness involves acceptance, meaning that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them—without believing, for instance, that there's a “right” or “wrong” way to think or feel in a given moment. a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique. Benefits of mindful self awareness- Being mindful improves physical health. Mindfulness can also help relieve stress, treat heart disease, lower blood pressure, reduce chronic pain, , improve sleep, and alleviate gastrointestinal difficulties. MEDITATION Meditation is an approach to training the mind, similar to the way that fitness is an approach to training the body. CONCENTRATION MEDITATION Concentration meditation involves focusing on a single point. This could entail following the breath, repeating a single word or mantra, staring at a candle flame, listening to a repetitive gong, or counting beads on a mala. Since focusing the mind is challenging, a beginner might meditate for only a few minutes and then work up to longer durations. In this form of meditation, you simply refocus your awareness on the chosen object of attention each time you notice your mind wandering. Rather than pursuing random thoughts, you simply let them go. Through this process, your ability to concentrate improves MINDFULNESS MEDITATION Mindfulness meditation encourages the practitioner to observe wandering thoughts as they drift through the mind. The intention is not to get involved with the thoughts or to judge them, but simply to be aware of each mental note as it arises. Through mindfulness meditation, you can see how your thoughts and feelings tend to move in particular patterns. Over time, you can become more aware of the human tendency to quickly judge an experience as good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant. With practice, an inner balance develops. In some schools of meditation, students practice a combination of concentration and mindfulness. Many disciplines call for stillness — to a greater or lesser degree, depending on the teacher. OTHER MEDITATION TECHNIQUES There are various other meditation techniques. For example, a daily meditation practice among Buddhist monks focuses directly on the cultivation of compassion. This involves envisioning negative events and recasting them in a positive light by transforming them through compassion. There are also moving meditation techniques, such as tai chi, qigong, and walking meditation. https://www.layersofintention.net/book-a-session daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://www.layersofintention.net/spiritual-wellness-consultant daily 0.75 2025-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d815811b50c44555a72a375/1600284807850-FG0PKU1ZYKLP2XR4LN8C/Layers.Casey.Profile.Pic.jpeg Spiritual Wellness Consultant - Casey Neth, M.S.

They can also help to be a better person and navigate through life, gifting affirmation, validation or guidance wherever necessary. Changing and forming enlightened perspective naturally causes shifts that help one lead a more empowered and conscious existence. The difference between tarot and oracle cards- Energetically, Oracle cards hold a lot of ‘big' energy. They can give insight into the greater sense of what is going on, but Tarot cards can provide more detailed interpretations. Tarot cards can be thought of as the pages inside a book. When you're doing a reading with Tarot cards, it's like a storybook, and each of those cards is like a page in that storybook. With the Oracle cards, on the other hand, it's more like the whole book or a chapter of the book.

There are also energy entering from the outside. There are also nonphysical creatures there — I know, it sounds like something out of a movie — I believe they are the ones that generate the greatest trouble for individuals. Everyone is affected by this; they simply aren't aware of it. Which is why everyone in the area feels so much better after a space clearing, when all of that energy is cleansed and a vast amount of wonderful, sacred, blessed energy is brought in. They get more done, get along better, and are considerably happy in a setting if it's a workplace. It has a significant impact on the environment. You go from a low-vibration atmosphere with a lot of negative energy to a high-vibration environment with no negative energy at all. A ritual to begin again in a place, space clearing is typically connected with yoga and meditation, feng shui, and New Age practitioners. Smudging (burning sage or palo santo), ringing a bell, or other acts may be used. What is Smudging? Sacred smoke, which is produced by the burning of medicinal or sacred herbs, is a part of many cultures and faiths across the world. It is known as smudging in North America and is a widespread ritual among Indigenous Peoples. Many, but not all, Indigenous communities in North America smudge, although distinct beliefs, ceremonies, and procedures may be linked with the smoke. Smudging is traditionally a ceremony for purifying or cleansing the soul of negative thoughts of a person or place. There are four elements involved in a smudge: The container, traditionally a shell representing water, is the first element. The four sacred plants (cedar, sage, sweetgrass, tobacco), gifts from mother earth, represent the second element. The fire produced from lighting the sacred plants represents the third element. The smoke produced from the fire represents air, the fourth element. Plant leaves or stems are placed in the container and lit during a smudging (preferably with a wooden match). The flames are then softly extinguished, and the healing smoke is gently swept around the area, either by hand or with an eagle/turkey feather. Opening the windows and doors so that the area that is is being cleasned and anything negative travels away from the building and outside. The ashes are typically given to mother earth by being buried outside on bare soil, with the belief that the ashes have absorbed the bad ideas and sentiments. What if I am allergic or dislike smoke? I offer homemade and organic White Sage Cleansing spray in place of burning sage. *Only ethically grown and sourced white sage is used during a cleansing/clearing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d815811b50c44555a72a375/1571340820878-IMOSCE7TYUFMSUCYSWGL/image-asset.jpeg Property/Space Cleansing - Why Cleanse and Clear your space? Why Cleanse & Clear Your Space? By cleansing and increasing the energy in your house, you can turn it into a haven that radiates happy vibes in ever-expanding circles, balancing the physical, emotional, and spiritual energies. There are several practical reasons for removing space. Prosperity in business and happy family connections are the two most prevalent. But don't limit yourself to what's achievable in terms of space cleaning. In general, you should think about the health and well-being of persons who will be present at the designated site, as well as what you hope to achieve from space clearing. Clearing Office Space Employee morale is improved by increasing the 'well-being' of the workplace, according to small firms and enterprises. As a result, the company's performance increases considerably. The extra 'clarity' in the office also has the unintended side effect of increasing efficiency. Clearing Out Your Home People in the house encounter less conflict, and as a result, the home and family are happier. The room itself seems and feels brighter. It has long been recommended that when a home is occupied for the first time, the residence be cleared first. Space Clearing in Real Estate Space clearance is now being hired by realtors. The goal is usually to improve the selling of difficult-to-sell houses. It has been proven that selling properties and turning them soon after clearing is tough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d815811b50c44555a72a375/0b627ad9-9bed-4ddc-811b-721cb91302a5/Unknown.jpeg Property/Space Cleansing - Cleasing services offered To begin I will provide a 30- 45 minute consultation, covering your property and your smudging needs.
