Nia Selfless Lyrics

Here’s a taste of the moves and the words from one of the Nia Routines “Selfless”. You can experience the whole class on line at NiaOnDemand, live in a class at Soma Ranch or use the Nia Finder to find a Nia Teacher in your local area.

In class we’ve been thoroughly enjoying singing along to these beautiful and powerful songs. We encourage you to connect your voice with your movements for a fully embodied, expressive experience. Here’s the lyrics to help you along. They can also be used as excellent meditations, read at the beginning or the end of class or used as part of setting the focus and intent for your Nia class experience. Be well ;-)

  • It's the power of women who will heal this world

  • The power of women – the power of women…

1. It's the Goddess, it's the matriarch, it's the maiden, it's the crone

Every color, every race through the ages it's been shown

That women have compassion women show the way

To a world that's filled with peace and love let me hear you say

2. As we stand in this circle feeling our connection

We can feel the power move as we state our intention

To bring peace to this world and right all the wrongs

Joining now in sisterhood we lift our voice in song and sing

Tag: We got the power to change the world so what are we gonna do?

First we have to realize that it's up to me and you

Every single day I'm gonna take the time to pray

And spread some loving kindness to each person along my way

Whatcha gonna do with your power?

We are women of power!

6. LIGHTEN UP

  • I was walkin' down the street I was feeling mighty fine

  • 'Till I caught a glimpse in a window of my behind

  • There was a jiggle and a wiggle that I'd never seen before

  • And as I looked a little closer Oh my God I found more!

  • I freaked out and I shrieked out "This has just ruined my day!"

  • Till I heard a voice inside me say….

Chorus:

  • 'Lighten Up - don't take it so seriously

  • 'Lighten up - trust the mystery

  • "Lighten Up...it doesn't matter anyway

  • "Just enjoy your life and get out of your way - Lighten Up!"

  • 2. So now I'm headed to a party to meet my friends

  • I've got an outfit that's to diet for - Honey I am just the living end!

  • But as i scope out the scene it's obvious to me

  • that the money at this party is simply obscene

  • They're talking about their mansions, their yachts, and dropping names

  • in an instant I feel unworthy, small and ashamed.

  • But as I try to make a beeline, slip out the back door

  • I hear a voice inside me saying once more

Chorus

  • 3. So now I'm looking in the mirror a new wrinkle has appeared

  • Do I curse? Do I stress? It's the thing I most feared

  • But then I remember my new mantra and I soon realize

  • That I am perfect even with wrinkles and cellulite thighs

  • I don't have to change a thing, struggle or try

  • Cause my real beauty comes from deep inside…

Finding Cures. Saving Children

Hi Friends, I’m heading towards the “Starting Line Village”. The race begins at 5pm Vegas Time. That is 7pm Texas Central US time! (and 1am in the morning for my Mum and Dad in England). We have reached our annual goal of $5000, thank you to the wonderful donors who have contributed so far. If you’d like to join us on the finish line and help EXCEED our expectations there is still time to donate. We would LOVE to see if we can exceed the $8171 that was raised last year……

Here’s the direct link to donate: https://bndfr.com/32mxz

Check the LIVE indicator below that shows the current amount raised in our “2023 fundraiser” = the 2024 RACE…

 

In 2021 71 people donated a total of $8150

In 2021

In 2022 88 people donated $8171

Soma Ranch has chosen St. Jude’s as their charity partner since 2020. Together, thanks to generous support of community near and far, we’ve achieved our goal to raise at least $5000 every year: Finding Cures. Saving Children

During the year Soma Ranch offers coffee mornings, special events and classes.

At these events 100% of donations go towards our Finding Cures. Saving Children campaign.

Soma Ranch Co-owner, Helen Terry, runs the Vegas Rock n Roll Half Marathon in February, every year, as a “St. Jude Hero”, as the grand finale of our fundraiser.

 

Runners who fundraise for St. Jude while training for their race are part of a nationwide alliance against childhood cancer. They’re called St. Jude Heroes.

Many dear friends of Helen and Joe Terry, Nia and Soma Ranch have died from cancer: Dear friends like Liliana (who The Terry’s daughter is named after), Luana Anderson (who helped create and maintain the NiaMoves website as a volunteer), Bill Baun (MD Anderson Wellness Director), Helen’s mentor/ friend and first employee back in the early 1990s.

We are raising and running in memory of these remarkable people . We are on a mission to help find cures and save lives.

Let’s help Find Cures and Save Lives Together.

Here below is a photo from last year… I hope I finish as strong this time. Thank you, no matter what, we will be finishing the race together. I think of all y’all, the wonderful donors who have helped as reach our goal and help children with cancer.

This is one of our community events where 100% donations collected go towards St Jude, our “Soma Selected” charity of choice.

Our goal is to raise $8000 for St. Jude. We collect donations at our monthly “Monday Coffee Connection”, Soma Faith classes and Special Events throughout the year.

On Monday entertain 10am Nia Class, then connect with our lovely community with coffee, teas and snacks. We hope you can join us.

We have a great time listening to each other’s thoughts, challenges and successes. We provide support and offer prayers.
