earth salutation

This sequence is the starting sequence of all Prana 'n Apana Flows and aims to create more grounding and connection to the Earth frequency, honouring the Great Mother whom is always supporting us. It is a political message to the world, suggesting to give more prominence and consciousness to an energy that is still undervalued and oppressed - the feminine.

 

Instead of going straight to salute Father Sun, here we start with Mother Earth. It's a strategy to balance something that is present in the outer world and so also in our inner world. The Feminine - seen as our intuition, our creativity which has no precise and defined origin, our senses, our unconscious state - is a great undervalued force, a magic and logic tool to explore and know reality, exactly as the Masculine force.

 

Sometimes, starting directly on our feet seems too hard, especially in the morning or in cold seasons.​

In this sequence we touch the ground and root with more body parts, connecting pelvis, belly, heart, shoulders, neck, head to the lower frequency of the ground, even if it's our floor. Reminding ourselves that we are here to slow down any process inside us, that we are not alone and we are always supported by the Great Mother.

​

There are two versions or variations: one simple used to open/close the practice; one more dense, like a synthesis of the Prana 'n Apana sequences that will follow.​
