Savasana: The Pause that Replenishes our Prana
Do you embrace the slowness of winter and the stillness of savasana… or given the option, do you power through?
Here we are in the thick of the darkness together…deep behind the veil of light cast by the summer sun, we stand in the full reflection of the moon, our souls exposed, our hearts bare. We are deep into the winter, the solstice upon us, and although it may be hard to acknowledge, depending on how comfortable we are with the idea of death, or how well processed our experiences are, during the dark months, the veil between life and death is more transparent than ever. Its reflection is there in the still cold of the season, in the skeletal trees and the silence from the natural world. It touches us lightly as our energy wanes and we feel the desire to withdraw, to hibernate, to stay close to our homes and the warmth and safety they provide.
