YOGA TO OPEN THE HEART

Featuring Erica Boucher, Yoga Therapist

Perhaps the biggest challenge in today’s world is to experience all of life - the joy, ecstasy and bliss, along with the disappointment, heartbreak and pain, and still keep an open heart – to remain fully awake, aware and alive. But without this conscious intention, many of us will shut down, become guarded, reactive and defensive. Yoga is a powerful tool to help us not only release tension in the body and quiet the mind, but to also soften and open the heart.

Filmed in Florida on the grounds of the beautiful Maitland Art Center, and Casa Feliz in Winter Park, Yoga Therapist Erica Boucher guides you through a gentle but dynamic heart-centered practice, taking you on a very powerful healing journey.

Prayer Beads

Prayer Beads (Prayer/Affirmation Beads)

As children, our minds are wide open, and everything we witness, hear and experience becomes deeply embedded into our subconscious.  Once conditioned with a belief, it remains until it is replaced by another one.   There are few ways to reprogram the subconscious mind.  Hypnosis is one of them.  Repetition is another.  This is why mantra, and affirmations, are so powerful.  Meditation also speeds healing and can allow you to think yourself strong. In short, a person can get more control over their life. Harvard University Professor & Medical Doctor Herbert Benson recognizes that "meditation on spiritual words is the most healing of all techniques."

“For me, they are a reminder to pray, and a wonderful tool for meditation.  I wear mine everyday, like a personal talisman.”

Below are a few Sanskrit mantras for your consideration. You can choose one that appeals to you, or create one of your own.

1. •To honor the divinity in you: "Om Namah Shivaya"
   

2. •To Clear the Mental & Balance Left & Right Brain: "Om Ram Ramaya Swaha"
   

3. •To Clear the Spiritual/Align the Chakras: – "Lum Vum Rum Yum Hum Om"
   

Other simple mantras are:

1. •Only Love, Only Light, Only Truth.
   

2. •I love and accept myself exactly as I am.
   

3. •Or create your very own by practicing deep listening to exactly what it is you are now ready to create in your life.
   

For best results, repeat each mantra 108 times, twice a day, for forty days. Notice the results!

These Mala Beads are hand-made with love.

The Book
Showing Up Naked™: Peeling Away the Layers to Your Authentic Self
By Erica Boucher, Creator of Empath Yoga

We come into this world naked, innocent, the very essence of love. Granted a brief amount of time to revel in and enjoy this state, it isn’t long before we are being groomed to fit in and play by the rules. Suddenly, societal expectations have us looking outside of ourselves for validation, acceptance, and love. And with all the judgment and modeling to which we are exposed, it isn’t long before we don a social mask. Now, we move around inside of our lives bumping up against other social masks, and the ability to experience a true, deep, honest connection with ourselves and others is all but lost.

This is a book about breaking free of the social conditioning, becoming comfortable in our own skins, liberated from the need to ask for permission to be ourselves. This is a book about complete and total self acceptance, and living without guilt or the need to apologize for who we are.

Showing Up Naked (SUN) is about living so authentically, it’s like showing up naked. It’s the product of a 12-year journey through Erica’s work with the homeless, abused and addicted, and her training in yoga, massage and hypnotherapy. Along the way there were some startling realizations, as she started to make the connection between the deep-seated beliefs we hold in our minds, the memories we store in our bodies, and the quality of our lives.

Recently received this feedback from a massage therapist: 

“I continue to use your cd with my clients, and find myself nicely centered. I am able to continue with a nice relaxing massage while they listen. It fascinates me how well it works! The conversation afterwards is always insightful for the client, and they have requested its use on other occasions.”

Mandala is a Sankrit word that means "circle".  They are used in various spiritual traditions as tools for focusing the mind.  It is a tool for meditation.  According to David Fontana, It helps "to access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious, ultimately assisting the meditator to experience a mystical sense of oneness with the ultimate unity from which the cosmos in all its manifold forms arises."  Carl Jung saw the mandala as "a representation of the unconscious self."

This particular one, now the trademark symbol for Empath Yoga, was inspired while volunteering in the mountains of the Philippines.  It is the combination of my two favorite mandalas blended into one inspirational piece.  Mandalas elicit  different responses for different people.  For  me, it is a reminder that I am an empathic, compassionate being, offering unconditional love and light to the world.
