Seva

Written By Lisa Vratny-Smith

As part of honoring the energy of yesterday’s new moon and solar eclipse I had the pleasure of offering two sound baths. One was a surprise wellness opportunity for the lovely staff at Dalton Elementary and the other was in support of Michelle Voeller’s benefit to raise funds for a food bank in Asheville, NC, which has been hit hard by flooding from Hurricane Helene. Both brought me so much joy as I shared the sound healing practice I love with and for people I care about.

Donating our time by doing something we love is a beautiful way to practice Seva or Service Mindedness, one of the ethical principals of yoga. Practicing Seva helps us to find some balance from striving, which can be such a big part of our lives, to holding space and offering ourselves and our skills in support of others. I invite you to reflect on how you are practicing Seva in your own life from small moments to bigger overtures. Remembering that we must care for ourselves and fill our own cups first. What is in the cup is for us, the overflow is what we have to share with the world.

I have several events coming up in mid-October, including Reiki training, sounds baths, and meditation series. Explore the details in the links below and let me know if you have any questions.

I hope you will join me this weekend for Saturday Morning Yoga live online as we pause, listen to our bodies, and care for them with lovingkindness.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

As always feel free to practice with previous recordings of Saturday Morning Classes as well as Evening Chair Yoga on my Youtube channel. You may also enjoy a growing variety of meditations I have available on the Insight Timer app that you can access for free. I’d appreciate your offering a rating on the meditations as well.

May you be safe, may you be happy, may you be healthy, may you live with ease. ~ Lisa ♥️
