This practice utilizes breathwork, movement, posture, mantra and transformative meditation to uplevel your entire system. It is open to all levels of experience. Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Yoga is not a work-out, its a work-in – and this is the point of spiritual practice, to make us teachable; to open up our hearts and focus our awareness so that we can know what we already know and be who we already are. -Rolf Gates Spiritual Movement & Meditation Fridays from 10am to 11:30am In-Person at Sanctuary Yoga Investment: $22 Pay Here Welcome! Kundalini Yoga is so potent that it can create a positive shift in your life with just one session. Kundalini Yoga, the yoga of awareness, is an ancient yogic technology that addresses every level of energy to include the body, emotions, mind, soul and spirit to remove energetic blockages, expand awareness, create energetic and systemic harmony and inspire transformation, peace and positivity. This "householders yoga" encourages resilience and enhance ones' ability to cope with the challenges of our time. Most sincerely, it is the original somatic healing therapy , as it holds a cannon of over 5000 kriyas (exercise sets) that were considered so powerful they were practiced in secret for thousands of years. We are living in times when most people are dealing with some degree of trauma. Drs Peter Levine and Bessel Vanderkolk (among others) have taught us that our subconscious memories are held (stuck) in our cells and tissues. The ancient practices that I am sharing hold the power to heal trauma. The effects can extend beyond one lifetime transforming karmic patterns and ancestral wounding into positive new potentials. As an energy therapist, I interpret energy in the energy anatomy, the chakras, the physical body, the emotions, the levels of the mind, the soul, in past lives, in the experiences of our ancestors and in the patterns held in our akashic records. The combination of conscious breathwork, eye gaze, body movements, hand positions, and vibrational sounds hold the power to deeply shift your energy, transforming your life and uplifting your situation. This is why I teach Kundalini Yoga. It is the ultimate self-healing practice. During a session, we will use specific movements and postures, conscious breathing (pranayama), eye focus (drishti), mudras (hand positions), mantras and meditations to activate and harmonize the physical, emotional, mental and energetic bodies. My classes are intended for all level of experience and fitness. We will utilize the foundational practices of kundalini yoga to regulate the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, expand lung capacity, purify the blood and to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. The physical and mental practices prepare the body for the transformative effects of the meditation. Here is a general idea of what to expect in a class. Tuning In Prayer Breathwork Warm-ups - Yogic movement to warm and prepare the body Kriya - Transformative Action with Specific Intention Transformative Meditation Blessing & Closing No experience with yoga or kundalini yoga is required.

Do we have a reserve capacity to get to our destination despite the snowstorm? Our energy can be flowing, we can be eating well, sleeping enough, but if our adrenals fail, it is hard to keep up. We get tired and snappy. Glandular balance, and in particular, strong adrenals and kidneys are important to have that extra edge, to control anger and hypoglycemia. Without strong adrenals and kidneys, the heart can't function well. Published in KRI International Teacher Training Manual Level 1

Numerological Insights on 2026 Numerology for 2026 Numerology for 2026 The Universal Numerology of 2026 #10 The Kabbalistic Tree of Life: #10 Malkhut / Kingdom The tenth path is called “Sparkling Consciousness” because it elevates itself and is enthroned in Understanding (Binah). It shines with the radiance of all the planets and stars and emanates the power of the principle of form. -Sefer Yetzirah Malkhut is the 10th sefirot on the tree of life. From the Oneness of Keter, we have journeyed to Malkhut in the form of Earth and the physical world. Malkhut is most often referred to as Shekhinah, the Divine Mother made manifest. She is Earth Mother, Gaia and Pachamama guiding us to recognize the Divine on Earth and all of Creation. The sovereign gift of physical life requires that we discriminate right from wrong, good from bad, life from death. There is an obligation, with our physical incarnation, to recognize and honor the sacred that is in, of, through and all around us. At Malkhut, the culmination of the journey on the tree of life, we have arrived at the physical world. We now have the opportunity to utilize our creativity and to manifest our dreams into reality. Tarot’s Archetypal Energy ~#10 The Wheel The tenth major arcana of tarot holds the archetypal power of the Wheel. The Hebrew letter assigned to the Wheel is “Kaph” (pronounced kahf) which translates as “the open palm”. It is said that our fate (and /or destiny) is written on our palms. With open and ready palms, we are meant to grasp the cycles of life with its ups and downs. The astrology associated with the Wheel is Jupiter. This great Benefic planet holds the wisdom of expansion, law, and blessings. With Jupiter, we are invited to open to grace and to expand our horizons. Heraclitus noted that “Everything flows, nothing stays still.” This is the essential wisdom of the Wheel. The guidance for the year is to harmoniously flow with life’s changes and to embrace the gifts of experience and evolution. Things will be in flux and flow. Fortunes will rise and fall. We must find the strength to flow with the necessary changes so that we can more easily embrace the opportunities as they may arise. Traditional Numerology ~ # 1 / Initiation & Beginning In traditional numerology, one and zero are added together resulting in one. This is a beginning point with zero, activating the power of infinity, and offering great potential -if we are ready to begin again. This year will bring inspiration, innovations and initiations. Tantric Numerology ~ #10 The Radiant Body Tantric numerology is based upon the ten energy bodies which is comprised of the physical body, six energetic bodies and three mental bodies. The tenth body holds the energy of our radiance and personal mastery. According to Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Ravi Singh, the Radiant Body relates to nerve strength, royal courage, the ability to stand out and to stand for what we believe in. It is also your magnetic body. It is what you are broadcasting and what you are receiving. To strengthen your radiant body, you must strengthen your navel. You cannot fake radiance. It requires integrity to shine your light and beam your truth. Monthly Numerology for 2026 January #11 Justice Energy is intensified. Spiritual practice can create balance. Choose to harmonize opposing forces. Be fair and just. Honor the light within. February #12 Hanged Man A new perspective is called for. Meditate. Contemplate. Surrender. Retreat. Embrace a new world view. Yield. Have faith. Do not force. March #13 Death The dark before the dawn. Release your attachments. Face your fears. A transformative shift will move you forward on the path. April #14 Temperance Know yourself. Honor your convictions. Speak your truth. When pushed, respond with moderation and maturity. Walk with wisdom on the path. May #15 Devil The closer we get to transformation, the greater the resistance. Perceive the paradox. Release addictive behaviors. Take responsibility for your experiences. June #16 The Tower Liberate yourself from anyone or anything that is not for your great good. Bless the best and forgive the rest. Release to reset and renew. July #17 The Star Do not quit five minutes before the miracle. Stay focused on the positive. Envision a life true to you. Be inspired so that you may inspire others. August #18 The Moon Access your subconscious mind. Bring your shadow into the light. Know what you need to know. Transcend your past. Illuminate the future. Dream a new dream. September #19 The Sun Everything becomes clear. See new, see true. A new day is dawning. You are energized and activated. Do the work. Your path is illuminated. October #20 Judgement You are path and purpose. You can achieve self-realization and karmic clarity. It is time to awaken to your soul’s significance. November #21 World Everything is coming together. Create a life true to you. Make manifest your dreams. December #22 Fool It is time to begin again. Embrace the innocence of the beginner’s mind. This is the time to take a leap of faith. You can build that which will endure.

In your personalized session, you will be guided through this self-healing process that treats the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. It bridges the unconscious and conscious mind as it activates the relaxation response and turns off the stress response. Meridian tapping Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know. - - Pema Chodron Book your Tapping Session Guided Meridian Tapping Session Available Online Guided Meridian Tapping to target your specific issues and goals. 1 hr 150 US dollars $150 Book Here A Pathway to self healing Tapping is an easily accessible tool for self-healing. Nearly anyone, at any age, can draw upon the power of tapping. It empowers us to reclaim our health and happiness. Tapping is holistic in nature. It addresses one’s whole self ~ body, emotion, mind, soul and spirit. The word holistic is a bit like the word natural. It has yet to be legally defined. However, in my practice, holistic always refers to wholeness. In this way, a holistic therapy must attend to the physical, emotional, psychological, mental, energy, soul and spiritual levels. Tapping is an energy therapy. Energy interpenetrates, interconnects and is the “source of all” at every level of Being ~ body, emotion, mind, soul and spirit. More specifically, tapping is considered to be one aspect of the Energy Psychology healing model. As such, tapping creates an opportunity for one to bridge the separation between the unconscious and one’s conscious awareness. Tapping allows you to address the conscious, and the unconscious, causes of an issue. Many people, for a variety of reasons, have what is called a “psychological reversal”. This reversal indicates that their energy is actually reversing their healing intention. Psychological reversals are the result of the unconscious actively protecting one from further trauma or harm. The tapping process addresses this contradiction by temporarily correcting the reversal and allowing the healing intention to penetrate thus creating an opportunity for positive change to occur. Tapping invites you to move through the fears, traumas and blocks that are woven into the very fabric of your Being to include the cellular body, your DNA, your emotions, your thoughts, your memories and even your karma. Tapping changes minds and beliefs. At the heart of our issues, we hold certain beliefs about our situation. These limiting beliefs can be conscious or unconscious. Limiting beliefs actually block healing and transformation. We can use tapping to release limiting thoughts and beliefs. Once cleared, we then can utilize this process to create a new belief around an issue. For example, when we receive a physical diagnosis, we are brought into an often limiting belief system. Once we receive a diagnosis, the body will reflect the thoughts, fears, feelings and beliefs contained within that diagnosis. If we can change our thoughts, feelings and beliefs around a specific diagnosis, we can then create a more positive belief and potential for that issue. Tapping interrupts the stress response. This creates a space for change to occur. When we are under stress, the body releases hormones into the blood stream that put the body into “lockdown” as the fight, flight or freeze mechanism is activated. In the short term, this enables the body to escape genuine dangers. In the long term, this puts a great strain on the body and essentially shuts down its innate ability to heal itself. Research indicates that tapping can actually lower the cortisol levels that are released when the body is stressed. Tapping affects brain chemistry. When we tap, we redirect the flow of blood in the brain. Tapping is able to activate the particular areas of the brain that guide our physical, emotional, intellectual or spiritual activities. The increased blood flow into very specific parts of the brain enables us to optimize our ability to handle certain situations and to perform specific functions. Tapping is effective for pain relief. This process can generate relief from many types of physical and psychological pain. The latest research indicates that this relief may extend into actual physical healing which has been verified through x-rays and a measurable improvement of professionally diagnosed and documented conditions. Tapping works best when you “feel it to heal it”. The more that you are willing to “feel it”; the more you will be able to effect positive change. This process requires you to become very attentive to the experiences of your body and the physical sensations that arise when you tap. You need to attune to your feelings and emotions, any memories that emerge and the thoughts that come up while you are involved in the tapping process. The insights of your body, emotions and thoughts are guides that will lead you into new insights on the cause and effect of your issue. With this awareness, you can tap to release the stuck energy. Tapping works with the power of words to heal and transform. Words are powerful. It is always important to be conscious of our thoughts and our words. The energy of our words, whether they are silent or spoken, is extraordinarily creative. Tapping utilizes a series of significant and purposeful phrases. These words are not random. They hold specific meaning and are used to actualize our intentions. For example, Dr. Joe Dispenza has found that the brain will reframe itself around the words, “I now choose” and “I am grateful for”. It is also important to note that the most effective language for intentions and affirmations requires that they are positively framed and set in the current tense. Tapping draws upon a healing formula for success. Ma ny traditions use beliefs, words, intentions and affirmations to create positive change such as Ho’Oponopono, Greg Braden’s book, The God Code and the Mastermind Prayer Process. When we compare several of these traditions, we are able to identify a specific pattern or healing formula. Tapping utilizes this healing formula to bring about healing and transformation. The Healing Formula #1 Acknowledge what is true. #2 Release, Forgive, Surrender what is not working. #3 Bless and affirm your positive intention. #4 Be grateful. Tapping is a process. It is “work” and requires a willingness to “go into the issue”. For tapping to be successful, you must be willing to do the work. This process, as with many types of therapy, is a bit like peeling an onion. You need to be prepared to go deeper into the layers and levels of an issue in order to get to the root. Often on this journey, as one issue is cleared, you may find that several others are now revealed. You will want to continue your way through an issue in order to can create genuine healing and transformation. Tapping is a life practice, much like meditation. This healing modality demonstrates immediate positive results. However, while it is highly effective in addressing emotional and physical issues in the short term, it shows the most promise when we choose to adopt this practice as a way of life. Tapping is like brushing your teeth and flossing. It is a proactive way in which we can better deal with the stresses and challenges of life. Tapping generates the same responses in the body as meditation and when adopted as a daily habit it can be beneficial for body, emotion, mind, energy, soul and spirit. Tapping can also be used to actualize your greatest good. Tapping is not just a healing tool. It is widely used by therapists and coaches to remove blocks that may be impeding success. Tapping can empower your dreams, go als and self-actualization. Once an issue is addressed, released and healed, there is “space for grace”. You are now open to the positive possibilities that you intend for your life. With the process, you can essentially clarify and re-design every level of your entire Being and re-design your whole life. I do not ask to walk smooth paths nor bear an easy load. I pray for strength and fortitude to climb the rock strewn road. Give me such courage and I can scale the headiest peaks alone, and transform every stumbling block into a stepping stone. -Gail Brook Burket the tapping Process Tapping Points The Crown The Inside Eyebrow Point The Corner Eye Point (tap on bone at corner of eye) The Under Eye Point (tap under pupil on the bone) The Nose Point (tap on the indent above your lip) The Chin Point (tap under the lip at center) The Collar Bone Point (one inch under “u” shape and one inch to left/right of collarbone) The Under Arm Point (tap approximately 1 hand length under the arm) The Tapping Process To Begin, Create a setup statement of intent.

Round Two: Clear, Release & Forgive Issue After acknowledging your issues, forgive and release what needs to be cleared with, "I now choose to release / forgive / clear _________." Continue to clear, until you feel as if you are releasing what is needed. It may take several rounds. You may need to alter your statement as you move through the issue. When you feel clear, fill this open "space" with... Round Three: Affirm your Positive Intention "I now choose to (affirm your positive intention) ________." Continue until you can feel your intention taking root, completing as many rounds as necessary. Round Four: Gratitude For your final round, tap at each point... "I am so grateful." Complete your session Tap on the crown, take a deep breath and make your closing summarizing affirmative statement. "Even though I cleared ______________________ I now choose & I am grateful for ______________ because I deeply and completely love, honor and accept myself." And so it is!
