SALUTE TO SOLSTICE
June 21 is the summer solstice – when the earth’s northern axial tilt is closest to the sun.
It represents the beginning of summer and the longest day. Without the tilt of the earth’s axis, we would have no seasons. The solstice allows us to honor cycles and seasons, impermanence, bounty, fertility…Life.
ORIGINAL PLAN WAS TO DO 108 SUN SALUTES – OR SOMEWHERE NEAR THERE. THIS MAY BE TOO AMBITIOUS FOR SUCH SHORT NOTICE – BELOW IS A LITTLE INFO ON THE SIGNIFCANCE OF 108.
Why 108?
* 108 is the number of names for Shiva (a really important Hindu god).
* 108 is the number of names for Buddha.
* 108 is the Chinese number representing “man”.
* 108 is the number of beads on a Catholic rosary.
* 108 is the number of beads on a Tibetan mala
* 108 is twice the number “54”, which is the number of sounds in Sanskrit
Why do it?
Send positive energy to heal and salute the earth.
Embrace a full body mantra with this moving meditation practice.
You don’t have to do all 108. Meditate. Modify.
I WOULD LIKE THIS PRACTICE AND SOME PROCEEDS FROM IT TO BENEFIT THE EARTH IN SOME WAY. Details to come.
Namaste.

I can’t be there physically, B, but I’ll be supporting you spiritually. I’ll be joining you in your 108 sun salutations here in Montana on the solstice. Namaste.
Oh Erin! I miss you!
Miss you and the sanga so much, B! So much stuff going down here right now….I’m dealing with a lot. Luckily, the answer is always "more yoga". More meditation. More presence. Just breathing. I’ve already booked a flight to be back for the retreat! Yaaaay!
Oh goodie! I’m glad you’re coming on retreat 🙂
