This practice is helpful for reconnecting with, and deeply receiving the nourishing, healing energy of the entire cosmos through the 5 elements, and consciously aligning with the energies of Aquarius as we enter a new era.

The energetic qualities of Aquarius are humanitarianism, collective consciousness, innovative use of technology for the greater good, joining wisdom and intellect, co-creating a new structure for society which nourishes and cares for all life.

In particular, this practice aids in connecting with the energies of Uranus and Saturn, as they square each other in the sky for the first of three times in 2021, the major theme of the year. Uranus is the planet associated with rapid change, upheaval, creativity, and innovation. Uranus rules Aquarius, and resonates with the 3rd eye and crown chakras, insight, intuition, (6th sense) and inner wisdom. Saturn is the planet associated with structures, boundaries, discipline, and diligence. It relates to the 5 physical senses, the bones, spine and joints, and the root and sacral chakras.

These two planetary energies are in a square relationship throughout 2021, bringing awareness to the challenges we face as we free ourselves from the old, outdated, limiting structures and patterns of our past. This is a year to see with deeper understanding what has been un-earthed in our individual and collective consciousness, and allow ourselves to envision a new way of being, a new foundation on which to build our future. To co-creatively begin to innovate a more heart centered world, more aligned with Aquarian vibrations of equanimity and care for all life, care for the planet and all of our resources. These planets provide and opportunity to understand more deeply than ever before that all of it is inter-connected, there is no separation.

From a numerology perspective, 2021 is a Number 5 year, a year of great change. 5 is considered a mid-point, a turning point between the past and the future. Number 5 relates to The Divine Within, the knowing that I AM the co-creator of my reality.

Number 5 corresponds to the 5 Elements: Fire, Earth, Water, Air and Space.

The frequencies of Om and Uranus together create a Perfect 5th Interval - which acts as an opening, a portal, a springboard to higher consciousness.

Number 5 also corresponds to the Golden Ratio, Phi, the Fibonacci sequence.

This practice helps us to remember that we are created from, and made of, the spiraling, natural flow of the cosmos. The natural flow of birth, growth, expansion, contraction and death - are followed once again by a new cycle of birth. It helps us open our awareness to the natural flow of evolution within, and to give ourselves the space to experience our full, luminous nature, as we co-create a new world together.

Yoga Nidra is a practice of pausing, letting go, and consciously resting in the the space between sleep and awake, the core of our being. Here, the illusory veil between individual consciousness and universal consciousness can dissolve, and we can experience that we ARE the whole spacious, Universe. In this state of profound connection, we can experience deep healing and a felt sense of wholeness, peace and joy.

The sound and vibrations of the Himalayan Singing bowls, Alchemy Crystal singing bowls, Uranus, Mercury and Jupiter Cosmic Tubes, Sun, Moon and Saturn Planetary crystal chimes, and the Paiste Sedna Planetary Gong support and enhance the practice, facilitating deep relaxation, balance and healing on all levels of body and being.
