MEDITATION & ACTIVATION TO CONNECT WITH YOUR EGYPTIAN SOUL LINEAGE

MEDITATION & ACTIVATION TO CONNECT WITH YOUR EGYPTIAN SOUL LINEAGE AND THE ORIGINAL BLUE PRINT OF UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS

Date: Friday, 2 March, 2018 (in conjunction with Full Moon day)
Time: 5.30-7.30/8.00pm
Venue: Lifeworks Holistic Centre, 27 Jalan Brother James, Penang
Energy Exchange: RM88. Space is LIMITED so please book and make your payment latest by Monday 26 Feb.

Since my recent sacred journey to Egypt, I’m called to offer a meditation and activation session for friends in Penang who feel a strong connection to the Egyptian spiritual lineage or interested to form a connection with the sacred Field of Light covering major Chakra temples. Our mission was to re-activate the original Blueprint of Unity or Christ Consciousness in this sacred land of Khempt or Egypt as it was thousands of years ago, through energetic work at the various temples that held the chakra energies along the Nile!

Our meditation on Friday 2 March coincides with the full moon and will help you make a deep soul connection to the sacred original Blueprint of the Field of Light in Egypt. You will also form energetic connections with one or more of the Egyptian deities, in particular Thoth, Mother Isis, Sekmet, Horus, Anubis and or Hathor. Each of these deities carry an energetic frequency that will support you in various aspects of healing and your life growth, transformation and mastery! 

Sound work will help with the energetic release and activations. Some of you may receive healings and/or rememberance from your past lives in Egypt as well as renewed connections to bring forth “gifts” to your present life.

Sacred objects and scents from my recent sacred journey will help create the energetic environment needed for this meditation session. You will all receive something to take home with you to form a continued connection with the Egyptian sacred lineage.

Please bring along any crystals you would like to add to the session for activation as well. The following crystals related to the Egyptian tradition include: Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli, Citrin, Clear quartz, Apatite, Malachite, Tiger’s Eye, Calcite, Carnelian, and Coral are possible stones you may want to have with you to strengthen your meditation and connection to the Egyptian Sacred Field of Light.

I’m so looking forward to sharing much of what I’ve been SO BLESSED to receive! Love n thank u!!! Sarah-Joy

INNER DANCE… Seeing with Love

INNER DANCE… Seeing with Love

Date: Thursday, 15 March 2018 
Time: 10.30am-12.30pm 
Venue: The Space, Tanjong Bungah, Penang 

Energy Exchange: RM80. Contact me Sarah-Joy at 016-488 9328 or via fb messenger to book and confirm your space.

Min 5 registered participant by 13 March. 
Note: Bring your yoga mat, a cushion and shawl if needed and your bottle of water. 

Inner Dance is a transformative self-awakening process that allows participants to experience themselves and the world as vibratory fields of energy. In this state of energy awareness, one is able to experience deeper release, self-healing and transformation. It is a trance-based intuitive perception brought about by a sound healing modality that works with changing brain wave states. Physical touch is applied to stimulate and awaken the body’s intelligence for self-healing by triggering bodily and emotional responses, including spontaneous movement, that helps clear deep seated blockages and enable more flow at all levels. 

The Inner Dance process assists you in becoming more aware of your multi-dimensional nature, which is also the nature of your true Self, your Buddha self, your Atman. Many of the ancient traditions refer to the Self which is beyond concept, beyond definition, and beyond all the cultural and social conditionings and limitations. You come closer to recognising and remembering the Self which is more pure, and infinite in nature. Join us in this Inner Dance to immerse yourself more fully in the 2018 energies which call for authenticity and more clarity of self and purpose. Can you see yourself and others only with Love and Light?

The Inner Dance has become a global movement of healers, artists, medical practitioners, ecologists, transformation experts and community leaders who are experiencing change from inside themselves as they bring change to the world around them.

Connecting with your Higher Self

A Community Service Meditation led by Sarah-Joy Amin of Chakra Yoga & Energy Healing in collaboration with Tristen Churn, Sherrie Low and Krisztina Mezosi.

Thursday, 4 June – 9.00-9.40pm – Venue: The ZOOM Heart-Space!

 

We are a collective of Light workers based in Malaysia wanting to offer our community service during this changing/ challenging period of Covid-19, by collaborating to hold a free half hour online meditation weekly to support anyone in need of calm, balance, peace and perspective. Since not everyone can avail of healing sessions, counselling or other forms of support, one way is to connect in a calm, serene meditative space.

Each week’s meditation is being led by a different Light worker facilitator so we bring you different styles of meditation as well as variety for you to experience divine energies in new ways!

This week I will be leading the meditation to connect with your Higher Self . As we are approaching a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse by Friday 5 June, consider what you need to totally let go in your life. The Full Moon will shine light on the behaviours, belief systems, relationships and various aspects that are burdensome and need to be fully released so that you make clear conscious space in your life for creating new conditions and opportunities. The Eclipse says, if you don’t do the inner work to release and put down what no longer serves you, the Universe may force more challenges upon you. How can you move through this period of the planetary retrogrades and three Eclipses with the support and vision of your Higher Self?

I also want to thank my student, Pee Ling for kindly setting up this zoom session and hosting it for all of us!

Embrace The New Self

Monday, 22 June – 9.00-9.45pm – Venue: The ZOOM Heart-Space!

A Community Service Meditation led by Tristen Churn in collaboration with Sarah-Joy Amin of Chakra Yoga & Energy Healing, Sherrie Low and Krisztina Mezosi.

 

We are a collective of Light workers based in Malaysia wanting to offer our community service during this changing/ challenging period of Covid-19, by collaborating to hold a free half hour online meditation weekly to support anyone in need of calm, balance, peace and perspective. Since not everyone can avail of healing sessions, counselling or other forms of support, one way is to connect in a calm, serene meditative space. This will be our 9th week offering the free meditation as a service to all in Malaysia and friends from anywhere around the world who can benefit.

Each week’s meditation is being led by a different Light worker facilitator so we bring you different styles of meditation as well as variety for you to experience divine energies in new ways!

This week Tristen Churn will be leading the meditation to honour the special energy period of the Summer Solstice, Solar Eclipse and the New Moon all happening around 20-22 June. At the same time, 5 planets are in retrograde: Saturn + Venus + Jupiter + Mercury + Pluto urging us to Release the Old Self e.g. old n destructive thoughts, habits, behaviors etc.  In this meditation Tristen will guide us to welcome and cultivate a new and constructive way of thinking, new habits and behaviours. He will be working with Goddess Kuan Yin, goddess of compassion and karmic healing, and the ancient Greek God Apollo, a solar god of strength and positivity. 

If you like to work with crystal energies, then please have with you a black, white and pink crystal. It’s alright not to have the required crystals as the God, Goddess and the planetary energies are available for us to tap into during our meditation. It would also be helpful to have a candle lit for the meditation.

Min participants: 10 confirmed.
 
DESCRIPTION:
 
Join a three-part workshop series online to learn about the 7 personal chakras, the energy vortexes that support your physical and energetic bodies, as well as the corresponding breath techniques to enhance all 7 chakras.
 
Most basic energy healing traditions use the chakra system as a starting point or reference standard. While different esoteric traditions have slightly different energy and chakra systems, the most common is the yogic system of the 7 chakras, also more frequently used in New Age healing modalities.
 
The chakras are closely connected to and have an impact on your physical, mental and emotional bodies. Physically the chakras are connected to your endocrine system, glandular functions, nervous system, and all your major specific organs.
 
Learning to work with your chakras is a first step to keeping your all your four bodies clear as there is a strong inter-relationship between healthy, balanced and active chakras with a healthy, balanced and vibrant physical, mental and emotional state.
 
For each chakra, you will learn about its nature, its energy quality and element, and the corresponding mental-emotional characteristics that go with either an underactive or overactive chakra. You will also have some practice time to experience the chakras including homework between each workshop session.
 
The course will be divided into three parts (See below). Each week we will have a theoretical introduction with questions and answers after each chakra section and a mini-practical session at the end of the session.
 
The content for each week is as follows:
a) Week 1 – 21 Feb 2021: We will cover the first two chakras: Muladhara (Root) and Swadisthana (Sacral) chakras.
 
b) Week 2 – 28 Feb, 2021: We will cover the third and fourth chakras: Manipura (Solar Plexus) and Anahata (Heart) chakras with a brief review the first two chakras from week 1.
 
c) Week 3 – 7 March 2021: We will dive into the higher fifth, sixth and seventh chakras: Vishuddha (Throat), Ajna (Third Eye) and Sahasrara (Crown) chakras, also after a brief review of Manipura and Anahata chakras.
 
In addition, each week you will learn a corresponding breath technique that enhances the relevant chakra groups. In the third week, you learn to combine all three breath techniques into a Three-part complete breath that will enhance energy flow to all 7 chakras, with the added benefit of maintaining a healthier physical, energetic and spiritual body.
 
With this three-part Chakra workshop series, you will not just learn the basics of the chakras but also have a foundation for learning any Chakra Energy Healing modality in the future, as well as prepare yourself for
Chakra Yoga practices.
 
Beginning energy healers, serious yoga practitioners and yoga teachers especially will benefit from this basic introductory course on the chakras as you will also learn how yoga and certain asanas are connected to certain chakras.
 
Those interested in further developing their higher dimensional Energy systems would benefit from first having a good grasp of the seven chakras as a foundation for understanding and activating your Higher non-personal chakras, which are part of your Multi-dimensional Being.
 
While information on the 7 chakras are easily available on the internet, learning about them with a guide who has been working with the chakra system in various healing modalities and through the Chakra yoga system for some years will be personally more beneficial.
 
WHAT YOU WILL BE PROVIDED WITH AND WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:
 
* You will want to have a notebook and something to write with. If you like working with crystals you can also have with you the relevant coloured crystals for the chakras we are covering. This is not essential, however. The HEART SPACE has the basic tumble crystals should you wish to purchase any.
 
* Basic notes on the 7 chakras will be provided to you at the start of the course.

CONTENT/TRADITIONS

Yoga is an ancient system of inner and outer practices for more balance in all aspects of life. It is a well tested tradition that provides an inner technology using postures, movement, breath, meditation and energy control to recalibrate your physical, mental, emotional and energy bodies for greater health, well being and ultimately for spiritual liberation.

 

 

 

 

 

Qigong is an ancient Chinese qi (vital energy) practice method, a way of cultivating and experiencing energy to enhance health, healing as well as developing spiritual awareness and insight. Through the practice of qigong you will learn how to harness the power of qi from the universe, remove blockages from body and mind and techniques for self-healing.

 

Dance Your Life into Being. Through conscious movement you will let go of the past, release what is not supporting you and welcome the new. Create your future by setting intentions and expand into who you really are. You will be guided through a flow of music where your focus stays within. When you move your body the energy shifts inside, bringing ease and liveliness into your dance and being.

FACILITATORS’ PROFILE

Suzanne and Ken Morgan are originally from UK and have been living happily in Penang for over 8 years. They were obviously destined to be together and met in India while doing a 6 month Yoga Teacher Training in 1998/99 in the Swami Gitananda lineage. In fact, before meeting, they already shared a great interest in health and alternative medicine, studying several systems between them.

After teaching yoga for a few years and both having curious minds, they decided to explore Chinese Medicine, completing a Bsc. (Hons) Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture) at Salford University, UK from 2003-6. They set up an acupuncture clinic which they ran before deciding to move to Malaysia. They both had an interest in Qigong, studying Wild Goose Qigong with Bingkun Hu from 2005-8 on his yearly visits to the UK, although Ken had been studying qigong since the 1970s.

Whilst in Penang, they were introduced to Zhineng Qigong and after two years of regular practice went in March 2019 to China and completed a 3 month Daohearts Teacher Training in the first, second and advanced levels of Zhineng Qigong. Suzanne and Ken are both passionate about health and wellness and are always happy to share their many years of knowledge with you.
