Enlightened Feminine Empowerment Green Karma Dakini Meditation Practice This is a portion of the Five Dakini Practice that assists you to transform encumbered states of consciousness, such as jealousy, competitiveness, envy, speediness, workaholic tendencies, and ambition, to all- accomplishing wisdom.  You will visualize the Green Dakini and intensify your encumbered states to a powerful expanded and empowered dissolution of non-striving.  This is from the practices of the Five Dakini’s from the “ Wisdom Rising” book by Lama Tsultrim Allione.  These practices come down to us from a Tibetan Tantric Buddhism female practitioner named Machig Lapdron and are over 1000 years old.    The Five Dakini’s practices work with transforming encumbered energies ( Samskaras) such as  procrastination, neediness, envy, jealousy, anger, fear etc into “The Wisdom Energies of the Dakinis evolved unencumbered view”. The mandala/circle, elemental energies, directional energies, visualization, seed syllables, Uccara, etc are used in the Dakini practices. Ultimately, the absolute level is beyond gender, how on a relative level men and women get to the ultimate level may be very different paths. Women have long thought they have to act like men to attain anything in this world. The cultural messages truly effect and disempower women on so many levels.    The Dakini is a messenger of spasciousness, a force of truth, a transitional primal power, a fierce compassion for change and upliftment.  I believe the recognition of feminine empowerment holds a key to cultural evolution and that awareness of practices line the Five Dakini’s  recorded live in Cocoa Beach, Florida at a friends home Jan 19, 2022 by Melissa Abbott MelissaAbbott.com

 Dissolving Your Triggers Yoga Nidra This Yoga Nidra was recorded live at Steam House Hot Yoga steamhousenh.com 75 Railroad Ave., Epping NH USA on Oct 18, 2021 by Melissa Abbott melissaabbott.com with Heidi James on the Singing Bowls. This Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique to Process those things keeping you from being in the Flow of the Universe A powerful foundational Tantric Yoga Meditation Practice taken from the illuminated 1000+ year old spiritual masterpiece, "The Pratyabhijna-Hrdraya" also known as The Recognition Sutras. In the Recognition Sutras or The Heart of Recognition, the author, Rajanaka Ksemaraja, gives us useful and practical ways to embrace the whole of our experience of the expanded center, so we can release and surrender our identification with our psychological self, our unresolved past, stories we tell ourselves, mental constructs, and samskaras. Those things that get us triggered and stuck with revolving mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual patterns. In essence this we can move on from our conditioning and touch more deeply within ourselves. This meditation became alive for me a couple of years ago when I took a Recognition Sutras course with Christopher Hareesh Wallis. I had actually been interested and studied this text on and off since 1991. It wasn't until his translation of the actual practices in Chapter 18 that this text spoke so clearly to my actual meditation practice. I started implementing the expanded central channel into my daily meditation sessions and the result has been stunning clarity to embrace the whole of reality. I first received this practice in July 2019 with Christopher Hareesh Wallis at Omega Institute for Holistic Studies during retreat. This is my interpretation of his teachings via Ksemaraja of 1000 years ago. I hope you will experience that the radical acceptance to the nature of reality means surrender to what wants to move though you. This practice has the ability to help you relax out of identification with your stories and patterns and stop clinging to aversions and self images. Christopher Hareesh Wallis is the author of Tantra Illuminated and The Recognition Sutras and his website is Tantrikainstitute.org where you can study Tantric Yoga meditation practices.

Awakened Awareness Yoga Nidra Immersion with Sound Bath Recorded Live at Steam House Hot Yoga in Epping, NH USA www.steamhousenh.com by Melissa Abbott www.MelissaAbbott.com melissa@melissaabbott.com after a Power Vinyasa Class on Sept 11, 2021 with Heidi James on soundscape singing bowls. This Yoga Nidra was designed to awaken the inner consciousness.   Mind/emotions/senses/thinking are here one moment and gone the next, they are ephemeral in nature. They arise and subside in a greater space of Self Awareness which is something far more fundamental than any ideas you might have about yourself.  Having the realization that Awareness is not something that you do, but rather something that you Are, is a awakening of witness consciousness, a major step in personal evolution. Make yourself comfortable, lying on your back with a natural fiber shawl covering you to contain the meditation energy. Headphones are recommended. Enjoy ❤️??‍♀️ A Simple but Powerful Practice
