The fifth body is the physical body which is considered the vessel where the other nine bodies play out their parts. It is a temple of that great generating/organizing/delivering force (GOD!) given to us to explore the art of balance: feet on the ground, head in the sky.
The physical body gives us the capacity to sacrifice and to make sacred. It gives you the experience of balancing all parts of your life. If strong, it represents the teacher, the trailblazer, the disruptor, who is able to take abstractions and explain them to anyone in an earthly and concrete form. With the fifth body one can choose dharma over karma. If your fifth body is weak, you may be angry, greedy, jealous, competitive, ungrateful. Your inner and outer realities will be out of balance and you may have trouble expressing yourself verbally.
The virtues associated with the physical body and the number 5 are action-oriented, disruptive, energetic, passionate, fierce, inspired, go-getting. So. Let’s go-get for the month of June and see what happens.
Remember that you are a living orbit of energy that is constantly changing made up of trillions of cells that are constantly shifting. Every 72 hours your physical body totally changes so sit and meditate, move and feel. Let your blood flow through areas of discomfort and dis-ease. Treat your self by provoking your higher self.
The key to balancing the physical body is to exercise regularly. To move. To teach because we all have something worth sharing.
We’ll use physical Katonah-style yoga, sneaky Pilates, dynamic kriya, some breathwork, journaling, and community dialogue to explore this body. Join for the workshop, stay for the physical body explorations through 8 distinct 1hr classes that dive deep into the number 5.
