*Feeling first* In this method, we feel before we think. Everything on Sunday was built so you could experience it in your body first, and then we talked about it. Mindful breath led into movement, movement led into a 45-minute transformational breathwork session, and that opened into a meditation on releasing and letting go. *Opening the way* We ignited our altars and opened the way together: • Honored the nature around us and within us • Gave gratitude and set our intentions • Lit our candles and poured libation • Spoke our declarations and affirmations, with hand postures *The AYA Method * in action 1. *Awareness*. We acknowledged the nature around and within us, gave gratitude, and opened the way. Later also recognizing the balances and imbalances in our energy. 2. *Aritu* (your energy centers). We tapped in with EFT and affirmed ourselves. We worked our energy centers with breath and noticed where we felt power and where we felt depletion. 3. *Alchemy*. We transmuted the energy with our breathwork. Coming out of it into meditation, we biohacked the self by moving that energy toward a goal, an idea, or an intention. 4. *Application*. We journaled our declarations and wrote out our spells, affirming ourselves through the written word. We journaled at the beginning and again at the end, so you could see what shifted. *The big takeaway* Notice where your body is potent and where it's calling for attention. The tingling, hot, or cold spots, usually the hands, show you your strengths. The pain or uncomfortable areas show you where you need more care. Once you have that awareness, you can alchemize and apply, which is where we're going next. We closed with self-Reiki, then snuffed our candles with gratitude. *Homework* 1. Practice tapping into your energy. Sit, meditate, and play with the energy ball. 2. Create a rising routine. It can be 5 minutes or an hour: movement, stretching, a workout, lighting a candle at your altar, giving thanks. Do it every time you wake up. Take control of your waters and your energy before you step out of the house and before the outside world gets a say. The moment you wake up is the most potent time to work with your subconscious, so try not to grab your phone first.
