Guided breath and meditation practices on Earth Star Shambala

I was inspired by the hours of movement, breath and meditation classes that I have given over the years, to finally help more people have access to their power. Please meet Earth Star Shambala, my new guided practices channel on Spotify!

On Earth Star Shambala, you’ll find guided meditation and breathing practices, both in English and in French. Each practice lasts from a few minutes to maximum of 15mn. To help get into the mood, I create most practices to be guided to the sound of music, such as Balanced Breath (a pranayama practice), or Vibrant Flower Meditation.

Here’s the channel on Spotify, and you’ll also find it on Youtube, Deezer, Apple Music and most music distributors.

Why the name Earth Star Shambala?

The vision I received for the name Earth Star Shambala was this: a luminous seed falling from the nightsky and landing in the middle of a forest clearing, creating a light bridge between the warm moist Earth and the big starry sky above. The feeling is belonging and connection. The seed is being home. Earth Star.

As for Shambala, it is the name of a mythical or elusive spiritual land said to be somewhere in the Tibetan Himalayas, or somewhere between Asia and Europe. Part fairyland and utopia, part real, it represents peace, happiness and enlightenment.
Why does this mysterious land mean something to me? I had the great chance of traveling to Tibet many years ago, and although it was not a religious pilgrimage or a spiritually-led journey, the land, people, sounds and art all left a deep imprint in me. This journey kicked off a more scholarly research for me, on Bön (Tibet’s indigenous religion), Himalayan culture, art and Buddhism.

Through Earth Star Shamabala, I’m inviting you to explore short guided breath and meditation practices. I design them to bring a bit more light to your body and mind, a bit more relaxation to your day, and to make practicing easy and effective.

I hope you enjoy the guided practices on Earth Star Shambala! Let me know how it goes on IG with #yesyoga_sophie
