In Service of the Light

👌🏻We practiced with the birds this morning 6am! So grateful for these students-giving me the best reason to rise at 4 and connect with the practice! ❤️Next week class is on Thursday! 🦋🧘🏼‍♀️🦋

ALMOST SOLD OUT! ONE SPOT LEFT!

I am so excited to be holding an event that involves the element of WATER! I feel you Fresno/Clovis...in the 113's this week! Next week should be closer to 100 for our event, but fret not, we will encourage dips into the water before and after yoga, as well as prior to FLOATING during the Sound Bath!

🇺🇸Happy 4th of July!��🙏It is a day we in the US celebrate our Independence and Freedom. Today, I celebrate my right to BE, authentically ME...the freedom to practice life in a way that feels nourishing to my innermost being...the right and ability to cultivate a safe and loving environment within and without...and so many others things.��🦋This feeling, or way of being is often taken for granted.��🫶And, for those of us who are able to live in a society, a place, a home in which we feel that freedom, it can be easy lose sight of the ways we are still trapped in our own minds. Ways of thinking can bind us, patterns such as attachment styles, or people pleasing can keep us in an emotional bondage...and the ways in which we allow ourselves to be restricted are many.��🧘🏼‍♀️On the bright side, there are pathways out of that mental and emotional entrapment. Yoga is one practice I have found that helps me to find new perspectives, new ways of perceiving life, and offer me ways to develop and to connect with my meditative mind...that unattached neutral mind where I see from a higher, broader perspective. Where things feel peaceful and soft and open.�
👣What helps you feel more FREE? Are there situations, people, enviromments or states of being in which you connect with that presence of freedom? Are there those which do not support your greatest freedom? What steps can you take today to usher in a new level of freedom emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually for yourself?��🪶We enjoyed an intimate, and very sweet workshop this past Sunday. I am aware and grateful for the freedom to practice whatever form of spirituality that I wish and so sad that others around the world are still prevented from easily practicing or some at all, safely, in a supported way. I will continue to pray, and hold the vision, that someday, all will be free to joyfully practice what brings them comfort, peace, inspiration, and support.���🛁If you have been missing the feeling of freedom you receive in your body from Yoga and or Sound healing, I got you.��💧I have an event at the Folkendt Farm on July 19th in Clovis, Ca that is going to be so unique…it involves floating in the pool for the Sound Bath!��🌞To get the haps on all my events, including Yoga, find my calendar link in comments. ��🙌🏻May you embrace Freedom on a whole new level today and moving forward!

🥳Flowingly,�Bethany

❤️Happy Dad’s Day to this special guy! 🥰.

❤️

OPENING TODAY'S FREE WORKSHOP UP TO ALL DAUGHTERS! HEAL YOUR MOTHER WOUND! 9AM PDT

Happy Earth Day isn’t she beautiful?!❤️🙏🪷🌈

📣It’s Day 1 of my 10 day detox!

✅I’m going to post here as accountability for myself as well as the possibility that it could provide inspiration for someone!

🙃It’s an elimination diet that I mostly live by naturally being vegan and gluten-free and mostly sugar-free, corn free etc...but it’s the Mostly part that needs to change…

Why you may ask? 🤔 Ummm brain fog, did I mention memory issues, brain fog, fatigue, lack of inspiration, lack of connection to my passion, needing to purify my mind and body to get back to that feeling of living and breathing as a temple…other deeper healing that needs the support of vitality, because of the way a poor diet effects the gut brain, the head brain, and the on and on...and so many more reasons…oh and I am about to get my LAST mercury filling out (can you believe they put that in our mouth as kids??!) and I want my body in tip-top shape to be able to handle that toxic stress so recovery will be faster!

🙈And it’s not just about food (and that occasional glass of wine)…

🙏It’s about:

📺Time lost binging a tv series, staying up late and missing my crucial self care time in the am!

🙉Negative self talk and just negative thinking in general. Time to detox that mind and get focused on the positive!

Prooooocraaaastinaaaation……see I can’t even get through that word! All that extra work I made for myself 🧐.

🥦Being too busy to properly cook for myself (leading to eating out/losing out on nutrition and the joy of creativity in the kitchen)!

🤳🏼Scrolling (although I don’t do much of that, it can happen and then 💥 boom-I magically enter a portal and lose an hour)!

🗓️So I will detox from all that stuff and post about my process.

❤️And ps if you have been needing a detox too, I will be leading a group online in mid-May so lmk if interested!

🪷Making Space for Clarity,
Bethany

🌞 Hello Sunshine!

🎵Well, truthfully, I know we all have! Whether it's the sound of the waves of the ocean, the gentle cooing of a dove, or your favorite instrument serenading you, I am sure you have recognized the incredible power of sound. Am I right?

💎If Sound Healing or Crystal Singing Bowls interests you, now is your chance to take a deep dive!

👌🏻I am offering a workshop this Sunday, 1:00-4:00pm in Fresno at Westside Yoga Studio.

🌸 In this workshop, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the soothing tones and vibrations of crystal singing bowls! You'll have a chance to get comfortable playing the bowls. (A bowls will be provided for each participant to practice with).

What two students had to say about this workshop:

I have been a client of Bethany’s for many years...When I experienced Bethany’s Healing Crystal Sound Bowls, I thought I died and went to heaven. She is truly talented with this style of therapy. I can hear The Angels Sing during her sessions. It is truly beautiful work. This year, I went through a hard Spiritual Trial that felt devastating to me. The Crystal Bowl Treatments and Sound Baths I have received from Bethany this past year brought me back to my center and grounded me. This helped me to focus on the current abundance I have in my life with my family and friends, right in the here and now, and not on the past loss.

There is something mysterious and deeply spiritual in immersing yourself in these crystal bowl vibrations, that points your heart back to The Great Mystery that is Creator, who abounds in all things.

Thank you, Bethany!

Love you with all my heart. Your friend and Colleague,

Alma Ball
Healer, Teacher

Bethany’s calm, compassionate energy was amazing. I walked away feeling at ease within my body, and excited to continue practicing with my bowl… Sound is a beautiful practice available to us all. Thank you, Bethany, for sharing our sweet soul and knowledge.

Love and Light,
Yancey Folklendt
Yoga Teacher, LMFT

🔥Have things felt intense this week?

🤌🏼This practice today will help you go inward to receive CLARITY, and assist you in staying more CENTERED in the week to come! Can’t wait to practice with others who wish to live intentionally and authentically! Hope to see you there!

uickly approaching is the:

🌕Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Libra ⚖️

Eclipses advocate for change, by offering triggers that can reveal where we are still stuck or needing growth. The energy can feel extra challenging, but if we make time to tune in, this powerful time can be extremely helpful to our growth. When we work with the energy we can break free from old cycles and patterns, ushering in the NEW way of being.

Without pressure, how can there be growth?

Because all of this is happening...
This is an opportune time for:

❤️Assessing Relationships

Allowing in new perceptions about your relationships. Such as...do you allow yourself to receive as well as to give?

What issues have you had in relationship that have hindered you? Which patterns serve and which do not?

👫Explore your own balance of Femininity and Masculinity...Doing/generating verses Being/allowing.

Let’s let go of old ways of being in relationship that aren’t working for us!
Let’s invite more harmony and balance within and without!
Shall we?

💡We have all the answers within. AND… they can be hard to access. So much gets in the way of that clarity…lower emotions like fear, doubt…a lack of actual feeling and being in our body…and so many other reasons…

🧘🏼‍♀️Kundalini yoga moves us beyond the thinking mind by opening the channels to our intuitive mind, the neutral mind. We move from attachment to neutrality, and from that place we allow in our awareness of truth. We land in a receptive space where things can be known, felt, seen, heard, or whatever way your intuitive capacity receives information.

✨We access the “greater google” as one of my teachers calls it, as the practice catapults us into higher states of consciousness where we experience our omnipresent, sometimes forgotten, infinite existence.

🙏This last Monday during Kundalini class I was reminded of the power of chanting. I led a group of 7 students in the Long Chant, my favorite chant. I could feel our group aura powerfully vibrating the space and opening a channel to that higher infinite state. I felt awake, blissful.

❤️Within 24 hrs I had three people texting me to thank me, saying how powerful it was for them.

🎉When I first got into Kundalini Yoga years ago, I was ecstatic to have found such a powerful tool that would be an important part of my spiritual awakening and journey of healing. I am now so grateful to be able to hold space for others to find it, too. Right now I am teaching twice a month in person, in Fresno. I am thinking of offering an online class…please reply if interested in this and let me know what days/times might work for you.

🔥Wherever you are, whatever your practice, I wish you the awareness of your infinite Self, and the connection that comes with this…it could be a moment looking into your child’s eyes, or smelling a flower, or hiking in the mountains…for me, the path has opened through a yoga practice, but for others it is something else. Whatever it is for you, find a gentle reminder here to make time for it, to help you move from a more limited perception/experience, to more of an infinite/joyful one.

📣Local Peeps! We’ve got a few spaces left in our vision board workshop tomorrow! Get clear on what you’re creating in your life and have fun making it vision board with us from 10-1pm! Text 559 905 9645 to reserve your space or with any questions! 💗

🌕 Did you know the Moon is considered “FULL” when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon?

🌊This positioning creates higher tides due to the gravitational pull of the MOON (which is 1/100th the mass of Earth), COMBINED WITH the gravitational force of the SUN?! 🌞

♍️Today’s Full Moon is in Virgo, which brings energy for discernment (that incredible attention to detail - know any Virgos??) for where your self care 💆🏼‍♀️ 🧘🏻🏃🏿‍♀️routine needs to be fine tuned, or what needs your focus mentally🧠.

It is a time to make those shifts in your calendar to reflect your physical, mental and emotional needs in a realistic way. You may feel more grounded 🌲with this moon, and before we get into the Pisces season (watery, intuitive, flexible/changing), it’s a great opportunity to set our foundational stage for what’s to come!

💨The Full Moon is also a time of release and surrender…

💧WHY? Perhaps because you are over 60% water, and this gravitational pull is literally helping old conflicting energies LIFT out of you!

⚠️How is your personal tide today? Feeling high full of emotion, about to spill over?

🌹To help with this, something you may consider creating a ritual to honor the Moon and YOU.

If you wish to be supported in person, I am offering a Full Moon Ceremony tonight! See details below…

When? (Today) Saturday Feb 24th 6:30-8pm

“To practice any art, no matter how well or how badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. So do it.” – Kurt Vonnegut.

💗Feeling grateful for this weekend’s workshop and the time I spent with these loverly ladies at Scarab Gallery creating! Noelle Correia gave such wonderful instruction and inspiration and we ran with it…

❓At first I wandered through my thoughts, while sifting through magazines and checking out the other art in the gallery and giftshop to get clear on what I wanted to make..

🥹 Occasionally looking around and feeling like everyone else had a plan, falling into that silly thing we call comparison, which gets one nowhere! What a perfect metaphor for the rest of life eh? Knowing that would not get me anywhere, instead CHOOSING to instead be inspired by what others were doing, and again returning to myself again and again…

🧘🏼‍♀️And once I started the materials seemed to have their own plan and it felt only polite to let them take the lead…

👋Is there’s some thing you would enjoy doing, but you are disallowing yourself from taking a class or investing time and energy because it’s never (in your mind) going to be what you perceive as “excellent”? Is your perfectionism keeping you stranded in the confines of your limited mind?

🥊Break out and let yourself be 🕊️FREE! You will be so glad you did! 🧘🏼‍♀️🔥❤️

Post 6☀️🧘🏼‍♀️🥰🙏🤩Been busy intentionally BEING and receiving from so many yoga classes in San Diego…to name a couple I highly recommend ~ Soul of Yoga in Encinitas (LOVE the Present Movement Therapy Dance), Trilogy in La Jolla (Dom and Gabrielle both teach a Yin with Sound that is delightful)+ (with rooftop restaurant) beautiful masterful teachers WOW. ’Twas a joy to introduce some of my fav self care spaces with cousins! True Rest float spa, hiking at Torrey Pines…then some Yoga. When we fill our cup we truly remember what we have to give.🔥

I have LOVED cat 🐈 sitting for Mr. Spike in Carlsbad. I am deeply grateful and nourished by the land, people, pets, and nature here. Connection with cousins and Soul sisters and brothers, the San Diego Botanical Garden, Yogananda’s (Self Realization) Garden⛲️🪴🌊👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 (my favorite place to meditate in the world thus far), beaches, fresh air, sun, and the best gf vegan eateries. I even tried the fast food Plant Power (ummm yummm!!)…it was a time of rich vegan foods and wholesome activities leaving me feeling thankful thankful thankful thankful thankful!

Sending 🫶love from the depths of my BEing. May we all be open to the light that is coming through and the positive experiences we are magnetizing to us. We are Worthy. Every one of us! I wish for all of you the refreshment I am feeling! Remember your power ~ call it in, let it in! I invite you to say aloud I am Worthy of Feeling Good 5 times and see how things begin to shift…💗💗💗

Lovelies in the Fresno area,
I invite you to join me for one or some of my
Upcoming in person offerings ✨🙏✨🧘🏼‍♀️✨🖼️✨👁️✨👑✨🔥✨🌏✨🪶✨🌊✨🦅 I am excited for these experimental gatherings in a gallery! One of my favorite artists, Heather Hubbard, has a new exhibit called Returning: An Autobiographical Ecosystem.
“Through this work I have become more acutely aware of the ways in which the natural world has
provided me with guidance and comfort throughout my life and played a key role in helping me
find my own creative path.”

Feel free to read more about the artist and the gallery with the link below.

Art Gallery, Art Classes | Scarab Creative Arts | Fresno CA

Since all of the workshops will be held in the gallery, we will be positioned around her exhibit, influenced by the energy of her creation. This was a suggestion by my friend Maggie, who owns the gallery. I am grateful to be part of this collaborative energy!

Please message, text, or call with any questions, or if you wish to register. Space is very limited. ♥️

My most challenging hike last year (a few weeks ago)…barely made it up, (and down) but so worth it! When we persevere, the effort makes the destination all the sweeter to savor. If life has you feeling like you don’t know how you will get over/around/through that boulder, perhaps contemplate this mantra I picked up in church last week: “the practice needs to be bigger than the problem.”

I have been swimming with it ever since. If we focus on how we are growing, expanding capacity for handling a challenge even, or what we are learning, it takes the focus off the problem and places it on our evolution. I am wishing all a beautiful New Year, of growth, ever expanding inner resourcing, and above below and within, a great love for SELF and all its expressions. May we feel enriched by the moment we are in, regardless of the shape it takes. Feeling blessed to be on the earth ship with you all, evolving together. Peace and Love for all. ✨🙏✨♥️

🫶 special shout out to my nephew Mahlon Reihman who took the “easy🤔🙃😆😅” way back with his mom and me, to make sure we made it down ok.
