Class 10: Create your future

November 26, 2015October 5, 2016 by auryn-yoga, posted in Blog, Stress-Relief-Course

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Worrying about the future is a common way that makes people feel stressed, as much as it is a way to create stress to start with. We spend an awful lot of time to worry about what might happen to us, whether we will find a job after studying, whether we will be financially secure, what we want to do to be happy, what we could do, whether we can do what we love and still pay our rent… while some of these thoughts and questions can be useful and important (to set goals, to make plans, to create a path…), most of them are exhausting and won’t lead us anywhere: especially if they are determined by doubt and fear.

We can actually release a lot of stress by dropping this fear of the future. When we stop worrying and start to ask ourselves which future we actually want to create, things can start to fall into place. Can you allow to led your way be guided by what brings you happiness and joy rather than by your fears?

In this class, we will do exercises and meditations to help us drop the fear and connect us with our intuition, longing, and joy.

May the pure light within you guide your way on.

Looking forward to see you!

Class 9: Self-care as stress-remedy

Emily Flower — “When you like a flower, you pluck it. When you love a flower, you water it daily.”

How many things you do every day that create (more) stress in your life? Rushing to work every day with a coffee in your hand, procrastinating until the last moment so you have to pull an all-nighter, worrying about what your teacher or boss will think about you, jumping from one task to the next event. Telling yourself how this wasn’t good enough or that thing you should do better next time. The list of possible stress-enhancing and self-destructive habits is endless, and most of us fall into this trap again and again.

In order to release tension and stress, and to live a more happy and relaxed life, self-care is essential. Self-care should become your daily habit more than anything else. In this class, we will open our hearts for ourselves and strengthen our positive mind, to be able to access the wonderful stress-remedy called self-care.

Looking forward to see you!

Class 8: Find your balance.

November 14, 2015October 5, 2016 by auryn-yoga, posted in Blog, Stress-Relief-Course

When we have a lot to do, we can easily feel stressed. But often, it is not the work as such that makes us stressed, but that there is a lot of work and not enough play in our lives. What makes us unhappy and stressed is the fact that things are not in balance. These “things” not in balance can be: work and fun times. Or: socialising and time for yourself. Or: Head and heart. When one area of your life is dominating for a longer period of time, it can be that you feel off balance, incomplete, insecure, tense, stressed.

How can you arrange the different pieces or parts of your life so they are in balance?

In this week’s class we will create balance within ourselves, so we are able to experience the totality of the self. When you sense your total you, you can project it outwards and create more balance in your life.

Looking forward to see you!

Class 7: Let it flow!

Creativity is essential to most things we do, yet many people often feel “uncreative”. Studying requires a lot of creativity, and often feeling blocked in our creativity is what makes it so hard: sitting in front of that empty page or blank screen and not knowing what to write, reading texts over texts but not knowing how to connect them to your research question. But also in other areas we often feel blocked and feel we lack some creativity: cooking, solving a problem at work, communicating, making music, painting or writing,…

Often we feel too stressed to do these things or we are stressed doing them and struggling. That kind of makes sense, because stress is the Number 1 creativity-killer. This can lead to a dangerous circle: We are stressed because we have/want to do something, this blocks our creativity, we feel more stressed and hence more blocked… Time to get out of that circle of feeling stuck.

In this class we will work on our kidneys and adrenals to release deep stored up tension, to get our energy flowing and to tap into our creative flow again.

Looking forward to see you!
