Eagle Pose ~ GARUDASANA ~ Balance Posture

Balance posture exercises consists of postures requiring ultimate balance. In this type of exercise the retina of the eye, the muscle spindles, the semicircular canals, the cerebellum & the cerebral cortex are involved and educated. The nervous system is strengthened and neuromuscular control is developed. This type of exercise also plays a part in improving ones overall general physical condition. Its special significance in Yoga is that it develops WILLPOWER & CONCENTRATION. During exercise the mind should be concentrated on the movement, especially on the final attitude/Form. The real VALUE of the BALANCE posture exercise Lies in its static form. 

If there is anything in us that is mythic, that ought to be a good place to redefine who we are.  Once upon a time, there were eagles the size of forests and men looked to them for things like strength, courage, bravery of a warrior.  Eagles who hunted.  Some say the eagle could lift a wing and the wind it made would move the sea like a hurricane, revealing the sea monsters, and the eagles would feed.

Garuda was such an eagle, with the features of a man.  He carried Lord Vishnu across the earth.  He was majestic, fierce; Garuda is usually translated to eagle but an older translation reads “devourer”, relating the warrior bird to the all consuming fire of the sun’s rays.

In the way of myth, which is more truthful than the way of common sense and opposites, Garuda was also a symbol of compassion, protection, and nuturance.  He stands over mountains, tenderly watches over temples, his hand in abhaya – (protection, do not fear) mudra.  Garuda was strong, fierce, a hunter. He devoured the serpents of the world without being harmed.  He is the conqueror of thirst.  There are few symbols in the world for that which overcomes the dangerous…the poisons, the darkness, the hooks we all catch ourselves up on.  Garuda is one.

Resolve, steadiness, that raptor’s eye and the fire of the sun transform our poisons into medicine.  Protection is compassionate.  Eagles, hawks, the raptors, are creatures of vision, observance, wisdom.

Assume the pose and you assume the qualities of the thing.  The asana invokes the mythic bird; this is the practice of strength, flexibility, endurance.  The difficultly of balance, the listing from side to side, teaches unwavering concentration, steady gaze, an eagle’s sight.  That concentration, that steadiness, is an actual calming of the mind.  A stimulant and sedative all at once: rush the awareness, steady the mind.

We have our demons and our serpents.  The physical posture of garudasana is one of compression, stimulation, and potency.  We contort ourselves, pull in, hang on.  The twisting actually serves as an opening: our wrapt arms open the wings of the shoulder blades, our bent and twisted legs activate the synovial fluid, opening hips, knees, ankles, stimulating the sex organs and seat of creativity.  Concentrate and concentrated.

This is how we transmute thirst into wisdom, how we take our poisons and make them benign.  In order to transform a thing, an emotion, a characteristic, a fact of life, we need to concentrate on it, protect ourselves from its danger, find steadiness and build our endurance.

Eagle relieves tension of the shoulders, neck and upper back.  It drives strength into the lower limbs and works the core.  Eagle coils and recoils, weaving flexibility into each of the 12 major joints in the body – ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists.  The kidneys are flushed clear, oxygenated blood floods the reproductive organs.  The central nervous system is called up and focused, that brain and spinal cord who integrate the information in our body, co-ordinate our movements.  This is about balance, grace, and a steady mind.  This is about fierce potency, power, creativity, and the heart of a hunter.

Garudasana is the gargoyle protecting the heart’s temple, the egg that seeds our capacity to fly.

Snail KiSs Oracles ❤️

When we Cherry kiss, our slime will never let go 💋💋💋 #Snail #Love #Cherry #KiSs 

Snails symbolize many deep and powerful things that most of us might not realize. These little crawlers are more in-depth than ever imagined. Keep in mind that not only are there land snails, but there are also sea snails so in this regard this species bridges the gap between elements. any animal that bridges the gap between 2elements bridges the gap between the mundane and the spiritual worlds.

snail symbology:

bridging the gap between the element of Earth and Water

the spiral or cycle of life, death, and rebirth

the earth's rotation around the sun

carrying one's home with them

taking one's time and enjoying life at a slower pace

Amun - ancient Egyptian ram-god

Tecciztecatl - ancient Aztec god

Fertility, abundance, things coming to fruition

Snails have a unique reproductive systems. Snails are both male and female' essentially they're hermaphrodites. Depending upon need and environment they can utilize whichever sex organ needed for the job of reproduction. How cool is that? What do we do with something like that on a symbolic level? To me, it speaks of gender roles. It's about balancing yin (female) and yang (male) energies in elegant, smart ways. All women have a little masculine energy in them, and all men have a little feminine in them too. Snail meaning reminds us we are all the best of both worlds (or gender's, in this case). Guys...it's okay to be soft, vulnerable, tender and sensitive sometimes. Nurture that within you when the occasion calls. 

Another very cool aspect of snail meaning is found in its shell. Do you have a little free-roaming gypsy in you? The snail is a great guide for you. It carries its home upon its back. It can wander anywhere, and still be home. Not only that - the snail excretes a substance (calcium carbonate) that actually creates its own shell (unlike hermit crabs, who find shells already made to move into). This is hugely symbolic. It implies anywhere we go - that's home. Are you the kind of person who feels at home where ever u are? The snail salutes you 4that! What's key 2feeling at home is being okay with ourselves. Home is in the heart ❤
