Her Issue Was Blood Ft. Queen Afua

Tomorrow @9pm Et on Conversations With The Queen. Most of our womb issues are related to our blood. The things we invest blood, sweat and tears into, our blood relatives who mistreat us, and toxic foods that turn to poison in our blood. So join Queen Afua as she discusses how we can address these issues and begin to heal.

April's Yoga Pose of The Month: Reclining Hero Pose

Supta Virasana, the reclining variation of Virasana, is an intermediate pose. DO NOT perform this pose

unless you can sit your buttocks relatively easily on the floor between your feet.

(soup-tah veer-AHS-anna)
supta = lying down, reclining
vira = man, hero, chief (compare Latin vir, “man,” the root of English words virile and virtue)



Step by Step

Perform Virasana. Exhale and lower your back torso toward the floor. First lean onto your hands, then your forearms and elbows. Once you are on your elbows, place your hands on the back of the pelvis and release your lower back and upper buttocks by spreading the flesh down toward the tailbone. Then finish reclining, either onto the floor or a support.

If your front ribs jut up sharply toward the ceiling, it’s a sign of tight groins, which pulls your front pelvis toward your knees and causes your belly and lower back to tense. Use your hands to press your front ribs down slightly and lift your pubis toward your navel. This should lengthen your lower back and lower it toward the floor. If it doesn’t, raise yourself onto a higher support. Then lay your arms and hands on the floor, angled about 45 degrees from the sides of your torso, palms up.

Sink the heads of the thighbones deep into the back of the hip sockets. It’s alright to lift your knees a little away from the floor to help soften your groins; in fact, you can raise your knees a few inches on a thickly folded blanket. You can also allow a little bit of space between your knees as long as your thighs remain parallel to each other. Do not, however, allow the knees to splay apart wider than your hips – this will cause strain on the hips and lower back.

To begin, stay in this pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Gradually extend your stay to 5 minutes. To come out, press your forearms against the floor and come onto your hands. Then use your hands to lift your torso into Virasana. As you come up, lead with your sternum, not your head or chin. Come out of Virasana in the recommended manner.


Benefits

Stretches the abdomen, thighs and deep hip flexors (psoas), knees, and ankles
Strengthens the arches
Relieves tired legs
Improves digestion
Helps relieves the symptoms of menstrual pain

Tina Mooney, lovingly known as Queen Mama Moon, is a natural and holistic wellness consultant whose main interest is women's health issues. She began her career in the area of maternal and infant health as early as 1997, and transitioned into other areas of women's wellness as recently as 2007.

She is a mother, writer and coach who draws heavily on her own personal experiences with feminine challenges and successes in order to help inform her clients about the choices available to them.

Mama Moon's fibroid journey began 15 years ago when she was first diagnosed with Breast Fibroadenomas. Over the years, she's lived with them and studied their movements and reactions in her own body. In early 2012, she finally rid herself of her fibroids for good. Since then she has been helping other women with information and support surrounding this issue, most notably with her blog, "We Can Be Fibroid Free!"

Queen Mama Moon also consults with women on other wellness topics such as sexuality, pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding, as well as general consulting about plant-based and self-guided wellness modalities such as flower essences, herbs and essential oils. She is also a Reiki Master and Tantra Practitioner.

Safiyah Naemah is a spiritual healer and cross-genre author. While on a spiritual journey, she gained an understanding of universal laws and healing modalities of the wisdom traditions. Safiyahheals.com was birthed out of her transformation. It's an oasis of blog post, books, videos, and resources to guide women in their evolution, transformation, and ascension. Since kindergarten, Safiyah wanted to be a writer. That dream came true when she published her first work, under her birth name, Sherrice Thomas. She writes to tell inspirational stories with elements of love, deception, and a twist of taboo. Safiyah is also a motivational speaker and workshop facilitator.
