Healing for Someone gravely ill

**This class is for someone specific, but can be converted and used for anyone who is in need of healing, even yourself.  Remember that, due to the reflective nature of life, that when you heal others, you heal yourself as well.

1) Start in Supta Badokonasana: Feel the connection between the beat of your heart & the breath.  Feel the connection between you & mother earth.  Feel the connection amongst all living things.  

Pull white, green, pink, and gold light through you in preparation for sending healing vibrations Maggie’s way.

Come to original asana & take 10 rounds of Pranayama for heart opening moving the arms out & in with the breath.

5 Sun Salutation A’s and come back down into Child’s pose.  

1. Extend your awareness to Maggie.  Feel her presence.  Holding her presence within you.  Pray for the removal of Maggie’s pain, and for the cause of the pain.

5 Sun Salutation B’s with lots of heart opening, ending in Half Pigeon pose.  Dedicate the efforts during Sun B’s to the ending of Maggie’s sorrow & pain.

1. From Hero’s pose, place fists into low belly & exhale fold forward.  Do this to take inventory of Maggie’s darkness causing her pain.
2. 5 Backbends to release that darkness within Maggie
3. & 6)  Warm-down. Savasana.  Explain to them that pain only exists if you believe in it & within the body & does not exist within the formless realm.  Do a meditation where they absorb Maggie’s pain & the cause of the pain & her sorrow into their heart center & then om it out through the throat chakra for 10 rounds, then they inhale it in to the heart center and exhale it out through the crown chakra into the formless where it is useless and is transformed into pure energy, holding the possibility to become anything and in the hands of the ultimate creator.
4. Lastly do a meditation with colors again: white, green, pink & gold.  Only this time have them do it for Maggie and into Maggie.

Poem: Towards the Light

By moonlight,
or starlight,
or in the sun's bright rays,
I journey,
guiding my way
by keeping
to the light
as best I can.
Sometimes all seems dark,
then I remember
how the poppy turns its head,
follows the sun's passage across the sky,
then rests in night's cool shadows,
bowing in thanks
to whatever power
makes the stalk
stand straight and strong,
drawing deep from its roots
a wine dark love.
In moonlight,
the garden glows,
silvering the poppies.
And even by starlight
you can tell
shades of darkness
if you try.
So do not lose heart
when vision dims.
Journey forth

as best you can-
bloom when you are able,
rest when you must,
keep faith,
keep always
towards the light
