Final of Three EnChanted Evenings, August 21

Posted on by
“We’re about to enter the twilight zone – a lunar month that begins with a Leo New Moon, which grows into a partial Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius/Leo and ends with another Leo New Moon that is also a powerful Solar Eclipse.
“This is the month when we reclaim our heart’s power to transform our life with love.
“This is a month to open to the power of creation and let it rip through our psyches until we are breathless with the fun and wonder of the Light. This is the month to step into our heart’s power.

In honor of the powerful New Moon July 23 , Full Moon on August 7 with partial Lunar Eclipse, and New Moon with Full Solar Eclipse on August 21  I will be chanting on the three MoonDay nights, July 24, August 7, and August 21, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Chrysalis studio, 111 Moran Way.

The power of our intention when we chant mantra on the Full and New Moon and especially on the Eclipse is multiplied many fold.  Join me for the simple practice of chanting.  From the ancient Gayatri, combined with the Tryambaka for transition from life to death, to the Peace pact, the Mangala mantra for Well Being of all, and the complex Hanuman Chalisa, we will raise our voices and breath, and send our powerful intention out into the universe.
Donation only.  Bring a friend.  Let me know if you will be here so I can plan accordingly.
It is a powerful time to support one another in our becoming and to sing our hearts out.
When we chant.sing, we pray twice.  Unknown.

The Cloths of Heaven

Had I the heaven’s embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths 

Of night and light and the half-light;
I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

W. B. Yeats

 

 

Join us to delve into the unconscious realm of our dreams.

Chrysalis Studio Blessing with Bhavani Maki

Posted on by

 

Atha Yoga Anushasanam.  Right here, right now, in this moment, we begin.  We take up the path and the teachings of Patanjali’s yoga sutra pearls.  We roll them around in our mouths, extracting the nectar of wisdom for our daily lives.

Chrysalis: Quiescent, sheltered place of preparation, growth and transformation.

 

 

 

The Chrysalis Studio had its initiation and first satsang with blessings by my teacher, Bhavani Maki and gathering of our sangha.  June 29, 2017.

Bhavani blessed the Chrysalis studio with sage and aarti as we chanted the Gayatri Mantra and then the Shantih Path (Teacher-Student Mantra of protection), before diving into the Sutra.

Healing through the Holidays

Posted on by

The holidays can be a difficult time particularly for those of us with a recent loss or an anniversary that comes during the holiday season.  The attached article that I wrote for OpentoHope.com offers some guidance in moving through the holiday rituals with grace and even potential for healing.  Most importantly, it is a time to follow your heart, to take deep time to attend to the aspects of the season that feed your spirit, whether that is cooking favorite foods, crafting traditional or original decorations, sharing heart-felt greetings, or simply contemplating the season of light from a perspective of darkness and when possible allowing the light to be rekindled in your heart.

Many blessings for the season.

Sherry appeared on Grief Relief TV in June with Drs. Gloria and Heidi Horsely to talk about Grief and Spirituality with guest Faith Freed, author of IS, Your Authentic Spirituality Unleashed.  Sherry talked about her experience of loss that has shaped her spirituality including the loss of her nephew Simon at age 11 in 1988, the loss of her nephew Alex at age 15 in 1999, and the loss of her son, Timothy at age 20 in 2010.
