Join Deidre Norman this summer for a 21-day meditation journey that is designed to shift your consciousness and calm the nervous system. The practices of mantra, mudra and breathwork help to shift our consciousness, which, in turn, shifts the way we experience the world! In short, these practices help us attune to and walk new paths.
Each day for 21 minutes, we will go inwards, tune our consciousness to the highest vibration and connect with our centers. These exercises will calm the nervous system, open up our hearts and ground our energy down to connect us with our own inner stability and stillness. When we are in this state of stillness, we become more centered and focused and then are more able to align with our true nature.
During this 21 day challenge you will be provided with the tools and support you need to create a regular meditation practice that will benefit you in all areas of your life. Whether you are looking to reduce stress, improve your mental clarity, or simply connect more deeply with yourself, this course is designed to help you achieve your goals.
We begin the morning of July 31st @ 7:30am MST. We will meet Monday through Friday mornings live over Zoom @ 7:30am MST while weekend sessions will be recorded so you can do them anytime. Please note: All sessions are recorded, so you can do the meditations on your own time if you cannot attend live sessions during the week!
What you will receive with this course:
1. A PDF with tools to make your meditation practice easier.
2. 21 days of LIVE guided meditations: 7/31 - 8/20 @ 7:30am MST MONDAYS - FRIDAYS (Pre-recorded meditations for the weekend).
3. An invitation to join a private Facebook Group to be a part of a Sangha.

Join Me on an 8-week, In-Depth Journey Through the Chakras
The 8 week week course will be happening LIVE and in person + it will be available online as well. Everything will be recorded.
The body contains 7 energy centers along the spine, known as chakras. These energy centers are like data banks, and provide information about the subtle body. Tuning in to these centers, accessing the information and working with the chakras can help you find balance and vitality.
Why Balance the Chakras?
Working with ~ and learning to master ~ the energy of the 7 chakras along the spine allows us to transcend imbalances, raise our energy, heal ourselves of old patterns that are no longer serving us (these patterns can be lodged in the body, mind or a habitual behavior) and express the highest potentiality of each chakra and the self.
In this course, we will learn how to tune into the wisdom of the chakras to understand our own personal imbalances, and learn tools for strengthening each energy center. We will also learn about how each chakra affects us, the emotional components of each chakra as well as their relationship to the physical body (organs etc.).
Who is this Course For?
Anyone who is curious about the deep wisdom that the chakras offer.
Anyone who wants to deepen their relationships with their energy body.
This is also a beautiful opportunity for people to join a like-minded, growth-oriented Sangha (community).
During our time together you will receive:
8 2-hour workshops. These will be a combination of learning about the chakras through knowledge sharing, activities and meditation.
A workbook specifically created for this Chakra Workshop.
Each week you will be given an 11 minute meditation to do each day to continue your healing of the chakras throughout the week.
What You Will Take Away by the End of the 8 Weeks:
Learn to ground and center your energy by working with your aura and other grounding tools so you don't leak your energy.
Learn to master your energy.
Increase your intuition.
Expand your awareness.
Cultivate a deeper connection between your body, mind and spirit.
Learn to overcome the habits, programs and conditioning that govern your life.
Learn to identify exactly where you are leaking energy out of your chakras and how you can stop by staying whole in your energy system
Learn about belief systems (associated with the chakras) that are holding you back.
Learn about how the chakras relate to the physical body and internal organs ~ as well as which gods and goddesses are associated with each chakra.
Learn to balance, harmonize and heal the 7 chakras along the spine through an integrated yoga practice (kriya, meditation, breathwork and asana), energy medicine techniques, and journaling.
Learn about how the chakras affect the aura (the energy field outside of the physical body).
Learn about the 3 granthis ~ three psychic knots in the physical body which are obstacles on the path of the awakened kundalini. They represent stages we must go through on our journey of evolution.
Develop a greater understanding of the energy system within you (chakras, aura and grounding field).
Transform your life by moving toward the path of evolutionon on this deep journey inwards.
Wake up and align with your true, authentic self.
Start to understand yourself at the most subtle and deep level.
Learn the art of being your own self healer and learn how to start diagnosing your energy blocks.

In this 21-day journey, we will be using mantra, mudras and breathwork to go inwards, to align with our centers, to calm our nervous system and align with our 2022 intentions.
We will spend our time together doing breathing exercises that calm the nervous system, silently repeating mantras that not only calm the nervous system, but also open up our hearts and ground our energy down to bring us into that inner stability and stillness. We use different mudras (hand gestures) to bring us into the state of meditation and activate that calming energy within us. When we are in this state of stillness, we are more able to align with our intentions. We become more centered and focused.

We've not been taught to value intimacy in our culture. Many endure mediocre relationships with subpar sex and superficial conversations that never encourage true vulnerability or personal growth.
The law of familiarity is a concept in NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming, a pseudoscientific approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy) which means the longer you’re around someone, the more you take them for granted and the sparks (AKA polarity) fade. This is a huge problem in relationships and intimacy today, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
If you’re sick of mediocrity in your relationships, including with yourself and you're ready to have the adult, hard conversations around intimacy, and to practice the art of forming deeper connections then join holistic healer and tantric expert Jennelle Gordon and former NFL All-Pro linebacker Keith Mitchell, for their five day Intimacy Mastery Retreat. Singles and couples will learn to communicate, be vulnerable, shed sexual shame and pain, embrace trust and emerge with an entirely new connected, intimate relationship with oneself and one’s partner.
During the five day retreat (November 2- November 6, 2021) at the beautiful Autograph Hotel El Mangroove in Costa Rica, Jennelle and Keith will teach you how to apply the principles rooted in tantric to develop a new level of intimacy, vulnerability, trust and connection in your relationships. Their approach makes it easy for people to integrate these powerful tantric tools into their hectic daily lives. Everyone from power CEOs to major league athletes have improved their relationships with the help of Jennelle’s powerful teaching methods.
During the week you’ll learn to:
Elevate your greatest power so you can experience the most connected, exhilarated life possible.
Heal past relationship wounds
Cultivate vulnerability and deep communication
Honor the masculine and feminine in the relationship
Learn to create powerful tantric connection
Develop tools to resolve conflict quickly
Learn to keep an initial spark alive for a lifetime
It always comes back to human connection and intimacy. We are wired for it. Intimacy provides space for healing and expansion of our being, and with practice we can be healthier and happier humans, have better more fulfilling relationships, and yes, better sex, too. This retreat is an amazing opportunity. You will leave feeling alive and connected to your great power to live the most exhilarating connected life possible!

21 Days of Meditation + 21 Minutes a Day for $21
In this 21-day journey, we will be using bija mantras, mudras and breathwork to harmonize and heal the 7 chakras (energy centers) along the spine. These energy centers are like data banks, and provide information about the subtle body, if you're tuned in, and using this information - it can help you find balance and vitality.
Why balance the chakras? Working with ~ and learning to master ~ the energy of the 7 chakras along the spine allows us to transcend imbalances, raise our energy, heal ourselves of old patterns that are no longer serving us (these patterns can be lodged in the body, mind or a habitual behavior) and express the highest potentiality of each chakra and the self.
The chakras are dimensional gateways that allow our body, mind, and soul to process higher vibrational frequencies, so that they can be assimilated and transformed in our physical reality. This is really part of energy anatomy. We are organized energetically just as much as we are organized physically. Our energetic structure is as detailed as our biological structure. Caroline Myss believes we are 98% energy and 2% physical.
To learn more about the bija mantras and the chakras, you can check out my blog post HERE.
We begin the morning of September 8th @ 7:30am MST. We will be meeting Monday through Friday mornings over Zoom @ 7:30am MST.

MEDITATING WITH SHIVA TO BRING US INTO STILLNESS
In this 21-day journey, we will be learning the art of Japa Meditation. Why Japa? Using Japa in your meditation has the potential to supercharge your practice and intentions with the energy of mantra.
So, What is Japa Meditation?
In Sanskrit, Japa means "to repeat" prayers or mantras ~ so a Japa Meditation practice is a meditative repetition of reciting a mantra or even the divine names of gods or goddesses. The mantra or god/goddess is chosen based on the qualities you are wishing to invoke. Oftentimes, a Japa meditation practice will be accompanied by a Mala ~ prayer beads~ although you do not need a mala to perform a Japa practice.
We begin March 10th for an introductory evening at 5pm MST. We will learn about Japa Meditation, Mantra, and Shiva (who we will be chanting with each morning) and we will go over how to use a Mala. (Note: If you have a Mala, that is amazing. If you do not, that is absolutely OK, too. You do not need one to join.)
We will be meeting each morning over Zoom @ 7:30am MST. (All sessions are recorded if you can not attend live). We will start each meditation session with a short breathwork exercise and then we will chant 108 rounds of a Shiva Mantra.
Our 21 days of Japa Meditation together begins on March 10th.
What you will receive with this course:
1. A one hour long evening workshop. 5/9 @ 5pm MST
2. 21 days of guided Japa Meditation. 5/10 - 5/31 @7:30am MST each day.
*Please note that the last 3 days, you will get recordings of the meditation and they will not be live because it is Memorial Day Weekend.
3. An invitation to join a private Facebook Group to be a part of a Sangha.
Who is this Course For?
Beginners and experienced meditators alike! This course is appropriate for those of you who are brand new to meditation as well as for people who want to deepen their meditation practice, or for experienced practitioners who are interested in joining a sangha (community).
With a Japa Meditation practice you have the potential to:
-Reduce stress and anxiety
-Calm your nervous system
-Be more present in your day to day life
-Experience more joy
-Feel more calm, and less reactive

Do you need a Mala to take this course? NO

1. www.theawakelife.com :: Dr. Angjali makes custom Malas and they are each infused with mantra.
