Garuda

“The great bird flies, protects the weak, fights the devil and destroys fear. It is none other than Garuda”.

Garuda is the vehicle of Vishnu in Hindu mythology – half man, half eagle. Vishnu embodies the principle of energy exchange between the spheres, represented by the primordial sound of mantras. The root of the name Garuda the sound GR means to speak. Garuda therefore means “wings of speech” or the one who carries the sound. Garuda’s wife is Unati, the queen of knowledge and progress.

In Hindu and Buddhist spirituality, it is believed that Garuda can dissolve the phobia of reptiles, including snakes, and that it purifies the atmosphere of black magic, the evil eye, and other negative energies – dispels fears, viruses – purifies the body of the poison of bites and protects against tumors. Garuda strengthens the courage and confidence of every human being.

It harmonizes the first chakra and creates the connection with the 7^th by giving us wings and transmitting a feeling of lightness to our legs. Thus, we can move forward and walk, well anchored and with our lower limbs in perfect health.

GARUDA from TURIYA is a composition for the legs. The legs symbolize progress, what makes us move forward, towards change, towards new experiences. If our legs are hurting, we should perhaps ask ourselves if there is anxiety or fears about the future. If we suffer from heavy legs, identify what is weighing us down, what is slowing us down in our evolution. Lower limb disorders are always related to movement on the physical as well as on the subtle level. It can be the fear of changing direction, the feeling of being held back in our desire to grow, or the feeling that someone is dictating the direction in which we should go.

Closely related to Muladhara and grounding, leg problems always reveal a weakness in the first chakra.

GARUDA by TURIYA is a synergy of essential oils to treat and prevent all problems around the legs. Balsamic, powerful, earthy, and stabilizing notes. It encourages forward movement, facilitates mobility, allows one to embrace the future and leave the past behind.

It can be included in Garshan and Gamathi treatments in the salon or spa or any other treatment of cellulite, venous and lymphatic stasis, heavy legs, varicose veins, etc.

Garuda helps people who feel blocked, who feel they cannot progress, move forward or those who feel they are prevented from realizing their dreams and ideas.

You feel stuck in your life, in your relationship, in your work.  Sometimes you feel like you want to start all over again. Do the following ritual for 36 days: 

Day 1: Choose a quiet time of day, making sure you are not disturbed, and sit down.

• For 2 minutes, smell the Garuda bottle with your eyes closed and your awareness on the soles of your feet, then 2 minutes with your awareness on the top of your head.
• Now write down for 20 minutes the reasons why you feel blocked. ATTENTION: this excludes any accusations from the outside world, they are only about your own responsibility in this situation, e.g.:
  • I feel stuck in my job because I don’t want to leave my comfort zone.
  • I feel stuck in my relationship with X because I avoid conflict and open discussion.
  • I feel blocked, because I fear the gaze of others.
  • I feel blocked because I am too attached to security.
  • I feel blocked because I can’t live my values fully.
  • I feel blocked because I am too judgmental.
  • I don’t move forward because I am constantly tired

Day 2: Choose a quiet time of day, making sure you are not disturbed, and sit down

• Rub your wrists with a few drops of Garuda.
• For 2 minutes, smell the Garuda bottle with your eyes closed and your awareness on the soles of your feet, then 2 minutes with your awareness on the top of your head.
• Now write down for 20 minutes why you are not changing, for example:
• I dream of changing jobs, but I don’t want to give up my high salary.
• If I enter into a relationship, I risk losing some of my freedom.
• If I change my way of life, I may have to sacrifice my social life.
• I don’t live fully according to my values because I am afraid of being compared to others.
• I remain attached to an old dream that has nothing to do with my current life and that prevents me from moving forward.
• I am afraid to test one of my skills for the first time, because I am afraid of being judged.

Note: often the “pros and cons” of a situation are in competition.

Day 3 – 36: Do a meditation each morning with a clear intention for the day. Create a massage oil with 50 ml of vegetable oil and 60 drops of Garuda and massage the feet, ankles and solar plexus area each morning before the meditation.

• Sit in a comfortable position and inhale the Garuda bottle for 2 minutes with your eyes closed.
• Look at your thoughts for a moment in relation to what you have written in the first two days.
• Then make a firm decision for the day, e.g. :
• I’m going to do this task that I’ve been procrastinating on for 3 weeks.
• I’m going to call X and ask him for a meeting to tell him what has been bothering me for a long time.
• I want to break away from my old dream and explore other perspectives.
• Today I dare to talk to my boss and ask for a promotion.
• I’m going to enroll in an English course and spend some time integrating this new language.
• I set out as a yoga teacher with confidence and faith in my abilities.
• Today I stop being paralyzed by analysis and take action.

Repeat this ritual day after day.
