Up & Down, moving with ease

20180809_230401138_iOSThis article is inspired by Irene Lyon and Elia Mrak. I attended a workshop with them in Vancouver which was called “Up&Down”. I also stayed in a dorm at BCU campus with access to the beach and water, which is so integrating.20180809_230411579_iOS

The average age of the participants was probably 50 plus if not 60 plus. All interested in bringing more ease into their lives on all levels.

Elia&Elisabeth

Guiding with the ring finger! Quite gentle yet precise. Alternating between being guided and guiding. Have fun and play!

This spoke strongly to me, since I have always believed, and still do, if we can bring ease to our body and movement, it transfers miraculously to our attitude and outlook on life in general, bringing more harmony inside and out. I learned that with aging comes a fear of falling, since we have lost the relationship to the ground. We harden and resist, we strain to stay up. Maybe we all can learn again to return more to the ground and connect with what supports us. Sort of in reverse of what we did as infants trying tirelessly to rise up and stand. UP &DOWN was the topic of the workshop and it made a lot of sense to my body.

I became more aware, how and where I strain and push through limitations, without respect. I started wondering, may be that is not necessary and there is maybe an easier, softer, kinder way to move up & down, forward & back and around. To walk my path with the intention of ease and attention, a flexible focus of opening and closing. Playfully experimenting softening the body, mind and soul. The gentleness towards myself made me feel fluidly strong alive and supported. Moving between and with a group of 30 people, following my way, seeing the other, sensing the whole group, being my authentic self with others, gives me hope for what we humans are capable of.

This being together, moving together, asks for an awareness of self/me, an awareness of you, all the others, everyone and everything, the room, the floor, all included, playing like an orchestra, taking turns, playing solos, playing together, loud, soft, fast, slow, actively resting, creating and playing with each other.  Including and expressing our unique gift and capacity openly, with joy. Everyone watching, so we assume the responsibility of being authentic!  I strongly sensed, that 30 embodied individual beings, are so much more, than the sum of 1+1+1+1+1+1+1…….=30.  30  aware strangers co-existing and interconnecting is a harmonious beautiful wonder and it gives me hope and trust for human kind. I am inspired to practice this in my daily life and have wish to share with ease an easier way of being together.

Moving with Ease and Authenticity

It took me quite some courage to share my first video with you, since it is an experiment and certainly not perfect. Yet, it takes courage not to be perfect and to fail. Somehow I think we would have so much more fun if we would meet each other in our imperfect ways openly and humble. Here is my not so perfect offering, yet maybe you get a sense what I try to share. If this work intrigues you please reach out and we can work together.

Moving with Ease and Authenticity

Clarity and Awakened Senses

Clarity and Awakened Senses

Dear friends and students,
After a week of Silence (Vipassana) at the Last Resort, with sitting meditation around a warm wood-stove and walking meditation amidst snow flurries,I feel more awake and clear in this world.  Robb and I added 5 days around St.George, to explore and enjoy the desert, biking and hiking.
Maybe it was the silence or maybe the high altitude, which blew our senses open. We both experienced the colors as more brilliant, heard the sounds of the desert wind, birds and other critters, like music in our systems and every rock formation told a story from way back when. We felt like Toddlers, relaxed jaw in awe looking, listening, exploring, curious to see what we would find around the next corner.  Our bodies transitioned from skiing all season, to sitting for a week, to biking and hiking in the heat of the desert, seamlessly.
Before we ventured out each day on foot or bike, we were able to keep our morning practice alive. This meant getting up early, a cup of tea, followed by joint opening movements before sitting for 30 – 45 minutes, mindfully moving through some Yoga Asanas to get our bodies gently primed for a day of desert adventure. It was truly a treat for me to experience the silence and the teachings together with my husband and as a couple. I still wonder how did I get here?  I am in awe watching the transition from Parenthood to the excitement creating a life as empty nesters. The opportunities which are appearing to getting to know each other at an even deeper level, aging as an opportunity, growing younger towards death.  The solitude and beauty of the desert makes it easy to find ground, new ground to step off from…..Now we are back in Park City and are intending to integrate this practice into our every day lives. Of course, as always, we will keep in mind, that a kind, open and warm attitude is the most important healing ingredient with oneself and others, especially with irregular schedules flying and dealing with jet-lag.
I do feel restored and filled with joy and ease. I look forward to teaching the Mini-Retreat, Wake-up to Yourself in Seattle May 13. If you know anyone, who lives there please share.
In June I’ll attend the Solstice Flute Fest in Midway, even if you don’t play the Native American Flute, check out the schedule, there are fun events going on. I am hoping to put a class together on June 25, co-teaching with Rona Yellow Robe. More details later. 
Rona is going to be my assistant at the Molokai Retreat and there is still space available, so reserve your spot and please, talk to me and spread the word. I truly feel it is an opportunity not to be missed. 
In between the events I’ll be available for private sessions by appointment. Check-out my updated website https://restorebalancetoday.com
I hope this finds you well and enjoying the arrival of spring, you are as much my teachers on this journey and I am grateful for you all being in my life.

With Love and Light,
Elisabeth

Small group size: 12 – 18 participants.

Intention for this Retreat: Intention of the Retreat: “A Journey to your True Self!”  Discovering practical ways to live an authentic life with awareness at work and in relationships”.  Creating the life, you are meant to live, with ease.

Elisabeth Lentz has a degree in Child Development and Social Work, is a Certified Yoga Instructor and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist.  She studied with Stephen Gilligan, trained in generative coaching and self-relations, and takes part in his yearly supervision courses.  She is experienced in transformative work through Selene Kumin-Vega, currently enrolled in the Embodied Life School Mentorship program with Russell Delman, she also studied the psychology of the Chakras and is certified in Chakra Therapy through Anodea Judith. Elisabeth owns Restore Balance Today, a private business in Park City, where she holds small group classes and sees private clients. She also guides meditative hikes in the Bavarian Alps, by request.

This 7-day retreat offers an opportunity to step back from the course of your daily life and become familiar with the unconscious parts of you, while held in a safe space. This is an invitation to give yourself the time to welcome all there is to you and your being in this world in this lifetime.  As some of you know, my teachings are embodied experiences, so our activities will include daily meditations, movement lessons, yoga, journaling, guided listening and speaking, as well as deep relaxations and guided journeying, using the Chakra System as a map.  Maybe a shift in perspective can occur, when life is simplified, supported by a caring environment and guided by truth and love?  “How can I be myself while in relationships & community?”  This is a question which we will live with during this week together. The Hui allows us space to deeply dive into the practice of being centered within ourselves while contributing our special selves to actively help build community, sangha, and family. We are social beings after all.

I have personally visited this very unique non-profit Retreat Center, that has been in the Cooke family for over 100 yrs. It is comprised of 65 lush acres dedicated to creating a safe environment for inspiration and growth by nurturing the creative spirit. I am so excited to have been offered a week to teach in their busy calendar and to be able to invite you along! I am confident that we will be supported in the work we will be doing together on all levels. Physical needs will be met with simple, comfortable accommodations in a lodge and cabins, indoor and outdoor showers and tubs, abundant nature, gentle tropical climate, cozy gathering spaces, a pool to relax in, plus lovingly prepared, well-balanced meals by professional chefs.  An organic garden, a native nursery which supports a reforestation project and 3 miles of trails, where you may encounter axis deer, providing enough space for active exploration outwardly and inwardly.

Besides individuals, couples are very much encouraged to attend! Although this is not a relationship retreat per se, by learning how to self-relate, one seems to relate to others naturally in a more compassionate way. Additionally, any caregiver, who has the feeling of burn-out and is in need of a recharge, will really benefit from this Retreat as well.

While this Retreat is a serious, courageous undertaking, I promise you our time together will have lots of laughter and sharing in the richness of each other’s gifts. The time will be balanced between classes and free time, guided silence and socializing, talking, learning, integrating, growing and playing. However, this will not be a “typical Hawaiian vacation”. The Hui is in the center of Molokai on a hill where we have a wonderful view of the ocean and island of Lanai. I highly recommend adding a couple of days in the beginning or at the end of your trip to explore this small, oft-overlooked, precious island on your own. I am happy to assist you with info. I truly believe that Hui Ho’olana is a perfect location to restore, heal and reconnect with yourself. If this resonates with you, please, join me on this one-of-a-kind retreat this coming October.

Welcome Home – Feeling Blessed

Any direction I look my heart opens, physically expanding, sensing the tissue, the layers between the ribs softening.

I am  allowing the ribs to separate like an accordion, with each breath touching upon another tone, or hue, or taste of what home feels like. Nature couldn’t have provided a better welcome home present. A feast for my eyes, almost overwhelmed by what is coming in, Elisabeth you are home.  This felt sense of home, the warm breeze caressing my skin, the sun warming me from the outside in. My feet feeling the familiar ground, stable, yet softly giving way to every step, the moss resonating with every foot step, bouncing me gracefully around the lake, my  walk feels rich almost royal. The smell of the fresh hay, oh so painfully Continue reading
