Wyda
Ancient druids practised a form of movement and spirituality called Wyda (wee-daa), akin to the more formal structures of Yoga and Qi Gong. With awareness to cultural appreciation, and having formally trained as a yoga teacher, it is vital to remember the practise of Wyda is an inpsiration to use as guidance and to compliment other movement and meditation practices. Often called "Celtic Yoga" it draws on the wisdom of the land. Outdoors in forests or woodlands is where it's mostly practised.
The teaching of Wyda basically distinguishes between 3 energy fields:
– The vital field, located in the navel area, controlling the body’s organs and hormonal system.
– The emotional field in the chest area regulating moods and feelings.
– The mental field in the head area, between the eyes, regulating brain performance and senses.
Welsh Bardism – the world of myth, story, poetry and songmythological connection to nature-based magic and wisdom guides us with use of chanting and connected languages.You might wish to explore Wyda in some of my sessions.
