The focuses of my Nia classes this week were connected to love. Since is was Valentine’s Day this week. Monday’s Nia class the focus was Love with the intent of allowing what was needed. Whether it was to give love to the community, the world, or oneself or to receive love from the community, the world, or for oneself. The playlist was LOVEly. Wednesday the focus was peace. With somewhat the same intent but with the addition of the peace inviting in calm. The playlist was the same . . . love, kisses, and hearts. Tomorrow’s class in Los Gatos the focus will be the fourth chakra, the heart chakra.
The routine I’ve put together allows for the many opportunities to move the upper back, chest and the ribs. Our intent will be move the physical area where the heart chakra is located in order to open the heart chakra. Opening this chakra invites feelings of joy. Joy shares company with calm. With joy and calmness as companions additional positive feelings, sensations, and states of being are experienced such as compassion, prosperity, and abundance. This also allows for connections to peace and harmony.
Also with moving our heart chakra we are enhancing our circulation. Concentration and focus is a powerful tool. While we might move our upper back, chest, and ribs it will undoubtedly affect our circulation but with the additional focus on the fourth chakra we can bring extra attention to it. Bringing whatever healing to our heart chakra that might be needed. This will round out the week of love quite well, I believe.
